' it kt) 78, NO. 407. ——- Df A EE oor A | AN ELEGY. a | Written for the Examiuer. | When the news of the downfall of the Me | Kenzie Government reached Crapaud, on the | night of the 17th, a prominent Grit (with tears in his eyes) addressed his fellow Grits and local placemen in the following melancholy strain :— My fellow Grits, in deep despair, Sad news, alas! to you L bear, O! let us to some place repair— Where freeinen do not tread— For five long years and maybe mair, Gritism’s dead. The news flashed by the electric flame Has quite disturbed my fevered brain; Alas ! its written but too plain For us to understand— Our pride, our hope, our chieftain’s slain-— In his ain land. Although he loudly called Reform, Ard watched for aid from night to morn, To save him from the gathering storm— Ne friendly hand was near ; In Lambton lies his frigid form, Upon a lonely bier. The standard which he proudly claimed Would by his party be maintained, And which to Canada proclaimed teform and purity, Now’s fallen, with its leader stained, Urtit to see, His broken pledges strew the ground, And unkept promises are found Like spirits hovering around The place where Sandy lies ; Misdeeds will sinners e’er confound— Sin never dies. His blundering now all men behold, And acts of jobbery are told In language vigorous and bold, And O, it will be seen That we, for sake of filthy gold, Those acts would screen. It’s said that in his last sad hour, When fleeing from him was his power, His countenance grew grim and sour ; And thus poor Sandy said : God save poor Grits from John A’s power When I am dead. Then how can I forbear the tear; He was to us a father dear, Who for our wants from year to year Did kindly provide, And never leut a friendly ear To John A’s side. When Peter aimed a cunning blow, Our enemies to overthrow, "Twas Sandy first cried out bravo ! Their votes we'll stop, But George and Heath cried scoundrels, no, The franchise drop. Although we raised from east to west The cry which seemed to suit us best, And never yet one fault confessed In this campaign, Hypocrisy, which men detest, IJas been our bane. Men said our Press was subsidized ; And ’though we spoke with aim disguised ‘They said we were an ‘* Organized Hypocrisy,” Which Canada heartily despised— O Cruelty ! But Oh ! how burns this aching brain, To think the noble Sandy’s slam, While sixty more lie on the plain, To pure Grits dear ; Their likes we'll never see again I greatly fear. Among those Grits, I grieve to tell, The Colonel and poor Peter fell; Had they been spared, all might be well With the Grit school, sut one rude blow has broke the spell Of pure Grit rule. McFayden’s gone and Dr. Mac, Poor Perry, too, has got the sack, ‘The only one that we send back To fight the foe, Is that nonentity alack ! Called Jemmy Y eo. Then, Grit officials of the Rail, Come join us in our mournful wail, And local placemen do not fail To join us in the cry ; Collectors and Assessors quail. You, too, must die. Then faithful henchmen gather roon, This news, alas, has come too soon -- We've strove to keep Free Traders doon, But all in vain ; For tive long years we well may croon— Pope’s in again. The secret, too, is leaking out, Loo, who was once so strong and stout, I’m told has lately caught the gout— With pain is tossin’, Well may our enemies now shout : ** Sit down Lawson.” Notwithstanding that our cries Of purity ne’er reached the skies, And that we dealt out pure Grit lies, With tongue and pen—- We could na throw dust in the eyes Of honest men. The twa oid bachelors, what a shame! Are sent back to their lonely hame, Where there’s no cheerful, winsome dame Their hearts to cheer— There they in grief may pine alane, The long five year. And we poor Grits of Twenty-nine, We, too, in hopeless grief may pine; For, ah, I fear, dear friends the time Is drawing nigh, When we, in bloom, shall cease to shine— We, too, must die, The Death of Gritty. Hark! hear again that loud hurrah | distress in the country is fearful, as the crovs lor Pope and Brecken; let’s away How ean we Grits here longer stay These shouts to hear ? Let’s go and mourn our loss to-day Round Sandy’s bier. Come George and Dr. like a man, Come Donald, Sol and Jim and Dan, Come quickly lead this mournful van Clear out of sight; kor O the shouts I canna stan | hear to-night. Now let us closer gather near, And while we shed the bitter tear, O let this prayer our spirits cheer— O let us hope That God will keep our poor Grits clear— Of J. C. Pope. Here Gritty lies, cold and alone, We'll mark the spot with this tall stone, Then let’s together all gang home -— And Grits remember, Ife died with many a piercing groan— The Seventeenth September. PHUN. NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. Lonpon, Sept. 22. A Rome despatch states that Cardinal Nina, the Papal Secretary of State, has senta cir- cwar to the Nuncios asking them to ascertain how the Government would view the extreme measures which the Vatican may possibly be obliged to take to preserve the authority of the Pope against the hostile attitude of Italy. which 1s chiefly observable in the exercise of the royal prerogative relative to the nomina- tion cf bishops. BrvussELs, Sept. 22. The printer of the pamphlet libelling the Emperor of Germany has been sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment and fined $100, and the author to five years and $400 fine. Paris, Sept. 22.

Lonpon, Sept. 22. A private letter from Bangkok, Siam, July 14, says: ‘“The King has determined to give a grand reception to Gen. Grant if he carries out his projected journey to the far East. His Majesty promises to meet the ex-Presi- dent at Singapore and accompany him thence to Bangkok. The Minister of State will pre- pare the address of welcome. Festivities at Bangkok will be on the grandest scale.” CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 22.

New York, Sept. 22. The Sun has arumor that the Bolivian Gov- ernment has ordered a number of Krupp guns from Germany, and made a contract with the New England manufacturers for rifles and ammunition. The object is said to be terri- torial aggrandizement at the expense of Peru. CHicaGo, Sept. 21. A despatch from Chippewa station says sud- den darkness fell upon the place, accom- panied by a deathlike stillness, and an atmos- phere so light that respiration seemed difficult. Suddenly a tornado struck the town with in- describable force, lasting but a few moments, yet it utterly swept away every structure in the place. ‘Tne inhabitants, warned by dark- ness and stillness, had taken refuge in the cellars, and in consequence fatal casualties were few. A wagon maker named Price, with wife and infant, are ail injured, the infant fatally. Miss ‘Thompson was seriously injured, and many others were hurt but not fatally. John- ston’s store was demolished and goods distri- buted over the country for hundreds of yards. Calhoun’s store and school building were wrecked; McCann’s house was torn to pieces, the heavy logs of which it was built being carried like straws through the air. The cause of the tornado was seemingly the meeting of two storms, one from the north- west and one from the southeast. Lamont’s store at Pentwater was demolish- ed, crushing Mrs. Griffing and causing her in- stant death. At Greenville the Baptist Church was blown down, killieg a workman named Michael ‘Tighe. Sherman City, a smali village in Isabella County, Michigan, has been annihilated by a terrific Tornado. Every store, dwelling house and shed in the village was swept away clean, except one frame dwelling, which was partially destroyed. The air was thick with timbers, boards, brick and stone. The inhabitants took refuge in the cellars; four persons were badly injured. At Coleman, Michigan, considerable damage was also done. New York, Sept. 23. Advices from Hayti by letter report a ter- ribly destructive tornado and partial tidal wave on the 3rd, 4th and 5th ef September, at Jacqueto, Several warehouses were swept into the sea with their contents ; a number of | buildings and the public hall were demolished, | two wharves were swept away and five ves- | sels wrecked, including the Dominion frigate Ozoma. At Anxbayes 434 houses were de- stroyed by the tornado in less than three hours. At St. Louis and Cavailton the tor nado tore houses to pieces, and the sea rushed into the market place, sweeping away men, women and children, and leaving only four houses standing. The loss of life is unknown, as no one is left to help the wounded or bury the dead. Five ladies have been found. At Aguin only 49 houses remain, the rest having been swept away. At Jerennes, 20 houses were swept out to sea and dashed to pieces. At Coraill, 40 houses were destroyed, The ‘and roads are entirely destroyed. | Boston, Sept. 21. The deaths from yellow fever in New Or- lleans yesterday reached 86, and 130 new cases ; were reported, | Up to noon yesterday but 23 deaths were ‘recorded. The mortality there since the dis- | ease first appeared has aggregated 2,240 per- Sons. Favorable reports continue to be received from Mississippi. Paris, Sept. 22. The Republique Francaise, in an article on the unsettled state of Lurope, advises France not to enter into any engagements. It says: ‘* Perilous times are not yet over, and still less. the era of alluring offers.” The article is re- garded as a reply to the rumor that England recommended Trance to take possession of Tunis. New Yorr, Sept. 22. A letter from Rio Janeiro says the rebellion in the Argentine Confederation continnes, and Carrientes has been captured, its Governor fleeing. Lonpon, Sept. 22, The Jimes’ Paris correspondent says, not- withstanding the approbation Gambetta’s speech at Romans, yesterday, met with on the part of the Republican press, it has made the Moderate Republicaus uneasy. It is thought the programme will contribute to the success field for discussion in whica the adversaries of the Republic will find it easy to exaggerate the orator’s words and show that the Republic proposes to lay hands on every existing insti- tution in a revolutionary sepse, Larnaca, Sept. 21. The health of the British troops on the Island is unsatisfactory ; there has been a new outbreak of fever among the soldiers; 21 deaths have occurred since the occupation of the Island. Four hundred men are sick, out of a total of 29,622. RomeE, Sept. 21. The Vatican has decided to instruct the French bishops to spare no offert to counteract the effect of Gambetta’s speech.
