The above announcement of Mr.. st.
Johns promotion will be read with IN
terest and pleasure by the many who

Q very long career. He has been assO-
ciated with the road so long that he is
always considered part of the system.

CRUELTY IN NAPLES.

Other Things In That Beautiful City Be-
sides Flowers, Song aud Sunshine.
Your correspondent from Naples says
with perfect truth of a Neapolitan
spring: 1T is season when this lovely
land is clothed in all luxuriance of
flowers; the earth is carpeted with them,
walls and trees bear their light and de-
licious burden, aRd the cast of mind
prevailing in these southern regions

provisions Of nature and dedicates them
to the Church" Will you allow me
through the Times to speak of other
beautiful works of nature that are mar
tyred in Naples with that hideous bar
bsrity common to the city, but which
your correspondent never mentions or
allades to, being unwilling, 1 suppose,
to spoil the rose light Of the pictures
which he sends you? I refer to the
frishtful fact that all animals whose
skins are worth centime are skinned
alive in this fair city of the sea. Old
horses, young kids and lambs, all dogs,
cats and rats are all skinned alive, be-
cause the skin when removed from the
living creature is considered more sup
pie and sells for somewhat higher
price. Dogs are seized by legalized
municipal dog-st-alers twice day, are
thrust pell-mell into court: kept two

Camorra is so strong which protects all
these wretches that no one dares move
against them: while In the matter of the
dogs the municipal authorities are the
