An Elegy on the Death Of q Mad Dog.
With Notes, Suggestions, lamentations and
Variations, by John A. Napes, ESQ.,, some
times called Jack A. Napes
For the Evening Post.l
Good people all, of every sort,
Give ear unto my song;
And if you find it wondrous short,
1t cannot hold you long. Hsa
In Washington there was man,
OF whom the world might say,
That still godly race he ran
WIENER he went to pray. 2
A kind and gentle heart he had
To comfort friends and foes
The naked every day he clad
When he put on his clothes. 8
And III that town a dog 4 was found,
As many dogs there be,
Both Mongrel, puppy, whelp and hound,
And ours of low degree.
This dog and man at frst were friends,
But when pique began,
The dog, to gain his private ends,
Went mad and bit the man. 5
Around from all the neighboring streets
The wondering neighbors ran,
And swore the dog had lost his wits
10 bite so good man. 6
The wound it seemed both sore and sad
To every Christian eye,
And while they swore the dog was mad,
They swore the man would die. I.
But soon wonder came to light
That showed the rogues they lied
The man recovered of the bite,
The dog it was that died.

introduced into any State has been promulgated
in Southern Italy and Sicily. 1t abolishcs the
concordats of 1918 and 1884, between the
courts Of Rome and Naples, and establishes
at once entire freedom Of worship. The right
of ecclcsiastics to inlet secular punishment, or

is also taken away. All causes regarding the
right of nomination to decide as to the respec-
tive functions of the civil and ecclesiastical

Pirates Among The Bahamas.

as follows
The Dutch galli3t " Jaca5ina, - Logger
master from Jeremie, Haiti, and bound for Glb'
eraltcr, with cargo Of 20jO bags Of coffee,
was run on shoro within about four miles Of
Mathew Town on the 23d Of February, in
lcaky state, having had wrcckcr in company
for some days The cargo was Immediately ia
ken out and brought to this place, and the veg
sci set fire to and burnt by six o'olock +. NJ Of
the day she was wrecked Salvage had been
settled By mutaal agreement between the Cap
tain and salyors, at 45 per cent, on dry, and 80
per cent, oc wet coG,c and materials
The resident magistrate visited the wreck on
the Doth, and discovered THREE GpgT holes
through The 5ottom Of The ressel, which probably
accounts for the milk in the cocoa nut
The Board of Magistrates arc having an in.
ycstgation in the affair, bat it IS a difficult mat

exhausted from pumping for several days, and
could not hold out TO bring her to port. Tn
fortunately, tho "pump gear gave conyinc.

DESIGNS OF TuG Texas Rebels oS Mrxleo.-
The following passage from Mexican letter in
the New Orleans Crescent is significant
&" The most serious danger u, present i'm
pending over Mexico, and which more nearly
touches us than any other, is the threatened ir-
ruption into this section of the legions which
Texas seems to be collecting on the Rio Granje
We could calmly observe the approach of ten
thousand T. S. soldiers, for they arc under
bonds to keep the peace of nations and beside
they are men who have no thinking and plot
ting to do for themselves but ono thousand
Texans are far different matter. They are all
thinkers, and most of them take The liberty Of
acting for themselves. They all consider it
their destiny to conquer Mexico, and whenever
they arc near this border they are certain to be
planning expeditions to extend the area Of free
dom. We are fully aware of this trait in tho
Texan character, and the authorities here are
not only alarmed at the approach Of the Texas
forces, bot they are making active efforts to
provide against the danger. The Governor Of
Tamaulpas has asked tho President of the lie
public for large force to be placed on this
frontier US an army of observation, and wc are
looking for the arrival of considerable detach.
ments of soldiers to meet tho emergency"

Progress, of Romanisn in Great Britain,

The increase Of popery in Great Britain Is Il
little remarkable, and is beginning to alarm
thoughtful minds. Statistics show a rcmarka-
bic progress within the last thirty years. In
the year lS29-the year in which Roman
Catholic emancipation was conccded-'herc
were in the country 447 priests now there are
1912, being an increase Of $685. Then there
were 44J chapels, now there are JJ3, an in.
crease of j4i In 1859 there we're 81 mouas.
teries The increase during the year has been o
In the same year tboro were 1913 converts for
females; now there are l5j There are also
twelve colleges. Roman Catholics are largely
appointed as chaplains in the army, and have
all the pryeges in common with Epi5copalian
ehapIains. The Jcsuits, too--whose very
presence in the country is contrary to
statute law-are making strenuous efforts to
education OF youth There are Ala jesuit
schools in England. In ireland, in 1859,
nearly 480 900 Roman Catholic children at
tended the national schools, which cost the
country about E205, 900.
The extension of institutions under the dc.
sgoation of reformatory schools is another OBJ
Jet largely sought by the Jcsuls. The grant
to their schools in 1859 amounted 10 80 07.
Maynoolh College, AN institution devoted en-
trely to the training of Roman Catholic
priests, receives 100000 annually from govern
meut Ia most of the colonies, too the same
course is pursued, large sums being annually
voted for Roman Catholic objects
The British sovereign swears on the gospel,
on her accession, that the peculiar doctrines Of
the church Of Rome are &" damnable and doa-
trous,' and yet the British Parliament annual
ly votes immense sums for the propagation OF
those same doctrines and for the education OF
the men who teach them With such foster
tcring care, there is no reason why papac!

King of Italy.

BY m unanimous vote Of the Italian Senate,
the title Of King Of Italy has been granted to
Victor Emanuel and his descendants The
fact is alike interesting and significant. When
the maguanimous though unfortunate Charles
Albert, in 1913, gave tie people Of Sardinia
constitution of which religious liberty was
bright feature, there were grave doubts as to
whether his legitimate successor, the youthful
Victor imanual, would manifest tie requisite
iirmness in upholding this charter, and prove
equally true 10 the people. The accession, how
ever, had been barely consummatcd when these
doubts were wholly removed. The intelligence
the liberaIity and kindness with which the
young monarch regarded the view Of his lamcn-
ted father and the advancing Importance Of his
kingdom won the confidence Of his subjects
insuerd the prosperity Of the country, and at
tractcd the admiration Of the world. Sardinia
became an important power in Europe, and was
prepared wisely to improve the remarkable SER
les Of events begun in 1859, and completed by
the fall Of Gae,a.
Aided by the unparalleled energies of Garibaldi,
the skilful craftsmanship of Cayour and the
brave persistence Of a long oppressed people,
Victor fmanual has become the possessor Of a
vastly extended kingdom, approaching almost
10 united Italy, and likely to be fully so al no
distant day llc may fifty wear the new title
bestowed upon him; aud that he will bring
honor to it, the past amply guarantees. No
soyering Of lhc present day has exhibited noblcr
qualities of heart and better disposition to
heed the popular voice and will
