James Clarence Mangan.

MANY of Ireland's sweetest singers
and poets lived only to be known and
not long enough TO realize anything OF
their rare gifts. The light OF life went
out In many cases when they were be
coming known to fame, ahd Mangan
was one OF the many.
James Clarence Mangan was born III
Dublin in 1868 Of parents who bequsath'
ed him nothing but poverty. During
his boyhood he attended a small school
of the neighborhoud, but it is certain
that the education ne receiN ed Was not
of a kind TO fit him for a literary career.
It was after he left school and while ne
was employed as scrlvener and gem
eral drudge in a lawyers Office that he
began to store his mind with the ma
terial from tbs use Of which he was
later able to provide q scant support for
his mother, his sister, aud himself.
During the latter part of this period
Mangan went through an experience
which impaired bitter tinge to all his
SUBSEQUENT life. His heart was en-
shared by beautiful coquette. who re-
iected him with scOrn when he ven
tured TO urge his suit. The beginning
he had made in his studies. perhaps
some smattering Of language among
them. since it Is said he never mastered
snv one, IN the hours snatched from
she toll which gave him his daily bread,
was improved when a few influential
gentlemen, who had discovered his
singular talent, obtained his appoint
ment as librarian in one Of the depart
ments at Trinity College. The late
John Mitchell, who knew him we'll,
thus briefly describes his appearance IN
the college after he had become a
thorough bookWorm.
"Being in the college library, and
having occasion to get book in that
g,oamy apartment Of the institution
known as the Fogel Library, an ac.
quaintance pointed out to me man
perched on the top of a Ladder, with the
whispered information that the figure
was Clarence Mangan. 1t was an I'M
earthly and ghostly figure, in brown
garment-the same garment which to
all appearances, lasted till the day OF
his death, The blanched hair was to-
tally uukempt. the corpse like features
still as marble; a large book was III his
arms, and all his soul was in the book. .
Later, another writer, a brother poet,
thus describes him: "a shy, abstracted

once beautiful and now pale and intel

man. He glides through the peo-

ZIG NAPLES OUTRAGE.
An Exhibition, of ClIspian iSplrit.in Deal
Ing With tho Church..

An Exhibition Of C1Isplan Splrit.in Deal
ing With tho Church..
When Signor Basile, tho project OF
Naples, burst open the doors Of certain
converts in that city recently and in-
vaded with mis- questor and police OFF,
GERS the privacy of these religious homes,
his act was fair exhibition Of the spirit
of Crispian officials in dealing with the
Church.
Those who pretend to believe in the
newly acquired liberties of the 1taliaus
may regard this proceeding as an evil
dence Of their genuineness, says tho
Baltimore Catholic Mirror" but it is
difficult to understand how sane persons
familiar with the American definition Of
the term can fail to condemn the brutal
tyranny perpetrated by the Neapolitan
chief magistrate
The project professed to. have heard Of
acts of cruelty committed upon young
and defenseless inmates of the institution
in question. His information was ad-
mittedly, of the most vague and uncer-
tain character. H7evertheless, it was SUI
ticient to supply him with a prbtext
for stretching his authority. He
did not call for an explanation
nor institute an investigation, but issued
peremptory decree ordering the nuns to
find another home When this order was
disregarded, the official determined to
adopt sterner measures He gathered
about him the questor and other func-
tionaries and a brace Of expert black
smiths in case the inmates of the cloister
should make physical resistance to his
entrance. With these he visited the in
situations and demanded adnittance.
Upon being refused on the ground that
authority to accede reposed in the eccle-
siastical authorities, he called upon the
blacks1niths, who promptly broke down
the doors. The nuns, whose rule COM
mands strict enclosure were summoned
before the magistrate and his chivalric
emissaries. There was nothing for them
to do but obey, and they appeared thickly
yelled. Even this protection was denied
them, and the wells were ruthlessly torn
from the faces OF the frightened Sisters.
When questioned there was an utter
and emphatic denial of the rumors of
harsh treatment, and a most exacting
inspection Of the premises by the official
ruffians proved to them, against their
manifest wishes, that everything was
scrupulously clean and in perfect order.
There was not all atom Of foundation upon
which the disappointed but insolent pre-
feet could base Il pretense Of Justification
for his brutal violation OF the rights Of
cloister. Thus the matter stands. Self
respecting italians are highly incensed at
the outrageous proceeding, but they APP
pear unable to do anything but express
their Indignation. The Archbishop Of
Naples, Cardinal Sanfelce, addressed a
vigorous renlonstrance against the high
handed course adopted by the project;
but all this does not obscure Or alter the
facts, and the facts point oninously
toward the inauguration Of a new era OF
persecution for the Church of Italy.

1--we seen all of the good men strip
for action from Jem Mace to Sullivan,
and never beheld so splendid a man
in such a feather~edge of condition as
ueenan that English morning in 1860.
When Savers faced him they seemed all
out of just proportion to each other.
Heenan overstood and overreached MIN
to degree that made it appear very
unequal. The English sports at the
ringslde looked completely confident of
Sayers. He was their pet and boast,
matchless, peerless. No one had been
found between the tour seas OF Britain
who could come near him in twenty
four foot circle. But in the contest
with Heenan, Sayers was as much out
classed and outfought as there was dit
ference in his weight and Heenan's.
Saver was as game as hornet.
Time and again he was sent Whlr]lng
into his corner from soRe smash OF the
terrific American, and each time came
grimly back with that d. termination to

1.-THE Englishman got the worst of it
from the go and MANY were disposed
to take the fight in their own hands.
The idea Of an American invading Eng
land and quelling their strongest player
at their own game was lntolerabte.
"'Kill the bloomin' Yankee murder
the bloody Hamerican,' came from all
sides of the ring but the men fought On
as silent as bull dogs, paying no heed.
A knot of English sports who lad some
money On Sayers stood next to me. The
appearance of Heenan, with his skin
pure and smooth as cleaning satin,
showing his perfect fix, caused them a
doubt or two. AS Sayers went down
before one of his fearful welts, one OF
them drew deep breath and said:
".E's big 'un, Jem.'
CAV responded Jem. in tone of
gloom. ''E's a big 'un, aud bloody

of threes and tours at sly, the best price
yet paid in this section, but they were
