ANNUAL EXAMINATION OF THE PUPiLS
ST-PATRICK SCHOOL-
The annual examination of the pupils
of this school, under the charge of
Messrs. P. Quinn and E. F. Sammuel,
took place this day in the midst of a large
and intelligent audience. The examina
tion was not on parts merely, prepared
for the occasion, but general and as
thorough, as time would permit, on their
entire course of studies during the year.
The smaller boys were first examined in
orthography and reading; the larger ones
in English grammar and arithmetic, in
all of which the pupils really reflected
credit upon themselves and upon their
teachers by proficiency in their respec
tive studies. The exercises were ap
propriately interspersed with speeches
and dialogue*. Every boy, so far as we
could judge, acquitted himself well—
many of them remarkably well. At the
conclusion of the exercises two of the
pupils, viz: August Dorr and Jam's
Purcell, stepped forward, and, in behalf
of their schoolmates, presented each of
the teachers with an elegant silver pencil
and pen, each of them making a very
and appropriate address in the pre
esnting. The entire audience seemed
much gratified with the examination and
heartily congratulated the teachers upon
their succes. We particularly noticed
the pleasure which the proficiency and
good conduct of the boys afforded to the
venerable Pastor of the congregation,
the Rev. Gregory Duggan, who has
watched over the school for a number of
years with more than fraternal interest,
and to the very esteemed Ordinary of
Richmond county, Judge Levy, whose
efforts iu promoting the welfare of the
public schools of this country have been
untiling.
Master Dorr, in presenting Mr. E. F.
Samuel with a silver pitcher and gold
pen, spoke as follows :
Beloved Teacher :
In behalf of my juvenile friends of the
school, I appear before you to ask your
acceptance of this Pen and Pencil as a
small token of our love and esteem. We
have done little ; we could have done
more, and should have done a great deal
more did we only consider the trouble
and pains taken by our Priests and
Teachers to promote our happiness, both
Spiritual and Temporal. Young as we
are we are sensible that to be Christians
we must be good, and that to obtain the
Divine inheritance where God reigns
with His Son and our Redeemer, His
Blessed Mother and our own dear Mother
ol the Rosary, must be true, consistent,
and honest. W e thank 3 ? ou, good teacher,
for the care and earnest solicitude with
which you have always watched over us.
Begging that God will grant you all bles
sings in this life and eternal happiness in
the next. Such is the prayer of the pu
pils of St. Patrick’s School.
Master Purcell in presenting a similar
testimonial to Mr. P. Quinn, said:
Respected Teacher:
On behalf of my companions, who
lovo and respect you, for the care and
earnest solichude you have taken in our
mental aiid spiritual improvement, it gives
me great pleasure to present yon this
small testimonial of our appreciation of
your uniform kindness and untiring e
forts to educate us in the way we should
walk, and to perlorm our duties as Chris
tian j'ouths, loving what is good and
beautiful, which lead to Heaven, and
avoiding the things which lead to sin and
death. We pray that we may be spared to
perform our duties in this life, and that
you may never be called upon to write
aught save what is good of us, with the
Pen and Pencil which I now present to
you for myself and companions, who
pray that you may be spared for many
long years to labor in the cause of edu
cation and religion.
PAPAL INFALLIBILITY.
Our telegrams from Rome, dated in
the Holy City and forwarded through the
Atlantic cable, report the following
highly important proceedings of the
Oecumenical Council as having beeen
taken preparatory to the dissolution of the
assßmblage:
For the Infallibility of the Roman Pon
tiff, Logically and Clearly Defined
from Principles now Received by the
Universal Church.
First—To the same chapter that re
lates to the Roman Pontiff the following
or like things may be added should it be
deemed proper, to the statement of errors
against his primacy, which arc, at the
very outset, condemned:
1. Aboi'e all we venture to reprobate
the temerity of those who may venture
to appeal from the supreme decision
of the High Pontiff to the (Ecummenical
Council.
2. In the next place, we utterly con
demn the perverse cavillings of those
who may dare to say that a certain ex
ternal acquiesence, but not the internal
assent of heart and mind, is to be
yielded to the decisions of the Roman
Pontiff.
3. We do totally censure the method
of talking and teaching pursued by those
who, some fool-hardy and preposterous
division having been contrived between
the Assemblage of Bishops and the High
Pontiff? may dispute as to which of them
is to be considered the greater, and may
thus seek to distract and separate the
head from the body—Peter from the
Church—as though the convocations of
brethren, whom Peter also commands to
be confirmed in his successors, could ever
be cut off from Him whose trust can never
fall away from the promise of Christ, or
that it could be lawful for those who are
to be taught and confirmed by Peter to
teach and confirm against him.
4. Nor do we deem less deserving of
reprobatiou the sentiments and conduct
of those who. in order that the errors
condemned by the Roman Pontiff may
be the more free!v diffused among the
multitude, do not fear to assert that the
true meaning of the books from which
this kind of condemned propositions are
extracted have not been correctly under
st tod by the Pontiff.
All of which things are illustrated and
continued by what follows:
First—And that such is its sentiment
the episcopacy of nearly the whole Catho
lic world, very recently assembled at
Rome, very brilliautiy made mani'est
when they addressed the Supreme Pon
tiff, now happily reigning, in these most
explicit and remarkable words.
1. “For never has thy voice been
silenh Thou art the wi ness of thy
Supreme ministry to announce eternal
trutls; to cleave a-under with the
sword.of thine apostolic eloquence the
errors of the age that threaten to sub
vert the natural and supernatural order
of things, and the very foundation of ec
clesiastical and civil power; to dispel the
misty darkness diffused over the minds
of men by the depravity of novel doc
trines, and fearlessly to announce, set
forth and recommend those things
which are necessary and salutary to the
single individual and to the Christian
family alike, so that one and ail may
comprehend what the Catholic man is
allied upon to hold, observe and profits.
For which transcendent solicitude we
render to tby Holiness the highest
thanks and are held in eternal bonds of
gratitude; and believing that Pct-v ’'as
spoken by the mouth of Pirn* l i.-e
things which arc declared, confirm: and
put forth by thee as a trust to be main
tained and guarded, wc do likewise de
clare, affirm and announce them, and do,
with one voice and one intent, reject all
those things hostile to the divine faith,
the safetv of souls and the good of hi
man society itself, which thou also hast
adjudged to be deserving of condemna
tion and rejection.
2. For living and infallible authority
lives in that Church alone which, built
by Christ the Lord upon Peter, the head
of the whole Church, its Prince and
Shepherd— whose faith, he promised,
shall never fall away—always hath its
■BAHSI® ©I !H® SS©®ft3B.
legitimate Pontiffs, deriving ther origin,
without intermission, from Peter himself
placed in his chair, and the heirs and de
fenders of his doctrine, his dignity his
glory, and his power. And as where
Peter is there the Church is also (2), and
and as Peter speaks through the Roman
Pontiff (3) and ever lives and exercises
judgment in his successors (4) and makes
manifest the truth of the faith to all who
seek it (5); therefore the the divine ut
terance are to be* taken simply in thst
sense wlrch is and was held by the Ro
man Chair of the most blessed Peter,
which Mother and Mistress of all the
Churches, has ever preserved the faith
transmitted by Christ the Lord whole and
inviolate and has taught it faithfully,
pointing out to all the path of safety and
the doctrine ofincorruptedtruth.” (7.)

THE LATE RIOT AT ELM PARK—
ORANGEISM IN NEW YORK-
Elsewhere in our columns will be found
an account of the disgraceful Orange riot
which, on the Honorable 12th of this
month, alarmed, and, indeed, disgusted
the citizens of New York. It will be seen
that while both parties are seriously to
blame, the chief and primary blame rests
with the Orangemen, who wantonly dese
crated the free soil of America with the
taunting celebration of an adversary
which stirs up, as it is meant to stir up,
the bitterest feelings, and most galling
memories iu the hearts of their Catholic
fellow-countrymen. It was wrong, un
doubtedly, for the poor Irish laborers to
attack the armed ruffians whom they knew
by dear experience were only waiting for
an opportunity to shed “Papist blood”
but what can be said in favor of those
who deliberately went forth for a day’s
festivity, armed each man with the dead
liest weapons, who marched through a
body of hard-workingmen whom they
knew to be Irish Catholics, playing the
old party tunes, and shouting the ancient
war-cries that have for ages stirred up
strife and bloodshed in unhappy Ireland !
What words can express the turpitude of
such conduct, here in a foreign land
where all are on equal terms before the
law, and where all are expected to live
in peace, in the land they have chosen
for their homes ! What right have these
Orangemen to import their bloody feuds
into this new and free country, to stir up
strife here, where all races and nationali
ties are, or ought to be, merged in one—
the great American people ? In vain will
it be said that Orangemen have as good
a right to walk in procession here as any
others. 1 heir case is different from that
of every other body of men. The end
and object of their organization is to per
petuate a religious feud, —also the defeat
of the Catholic Irish who chivalrously
espoused the cause of the exiled Stuart
King, by the Prince of Orange and bis
Hollanders. Unlike all others, the Irish
Orangemen have no country—their sym
pathies are not with the mass of their own
countrymen ; they are, as it were, a for
eign colony in Ireland, hated and detested
b\ r their own countrymen, yet unrecog
nized by England, her people or her Gov
ernment.
Iho record of rhis spurious growth on
Irish soil is one of t tie bloodiest pages in
Irish history, lear after year since the
memorable and ill-omened Battle of the
Boyne, they have wantonly and wilfully
excited by every means at their command,
the worst passions of their Catholic fellow
countrymen—they have , taunted them
with offensive and hostile demonstrations,
with party tunes, and the display of party
colors, and whenever they had the power
to do so, they have slaughtered their
Catholic neighbors on the slightest pre
text ; for, as will be observed, they never
go out on these occasions, without fire
arms or other deadly weapons. On the
other hand, the Catholics in nearly all
the “Orange riots” were the sufferers,
because, being wholly unprepared, they
could only avail themselves of sticks and
stones, and such means of attack or de
fence as came to hand.
Long years ago, the bard of Erin sang :
As vanquished Erin wept beside
The Boyne’s ill-fated river,
She saw where Discord in the tide
Had dropp’d his loaded quiver ;
“Lie hid ! ’ she cried, “ye venom'd darts,
W here mortal eye may shun ye,
Lie hid, fur oh ! the stain of hearts
That bled for me is on ye 1”
But vain her wish, her weeping vain,
As Time too well had taught her,
Each year the fiend returns again, *
And dives into that water,
And brings triumphant, from beneath,
His shafts of desolation,
And sends them wing’d worse than death,
Throughout her madd’ning Nation.
Now, we ask, will the American peo
ple permit thi3 miserable, isolated faction,
these men of war, not of peace, to mad
den this Nation by the annual celebra
tion that has made Ireland a battle
ground for nigh two hundred years ?
Every law-abiding, peace-loving citizen
will answer “No,” and we trust that this
will be the last Orange demonstration on
American soil.
We say again that we do not excuse
the Irish laborers who attacked these evil
minded men; but, we do say, that it was
hard for human nature, and especially
Irish nature, to bear the sight and the
sounds that were made to greet their
eyes and ears on this day of sad memo
ries. They were toiling away under the
broiling sun when the O angemen came
to provoke them. In the name of the
numerous victims of this bloody affray,
we hope and expect to see puolic action
taken in this matter, so that such scenes
may no longer startle and shock oui
peaceful community. We on this side
the Atlantic have nought to do with the
Battle of the Boyne, and the lives of
American citizens ought not to be im
perilled by feuds brought over from the
Old World.— Tablet.
THE TWELFTH OF JULY IN NEW
YORK—DISGRACEFUL RIOT-
Tuesday, July 12, was tbe anniversary
of the Battle of the Boyne, and was
celebrated in all the larger cities of the
United States by the Orangemen, either
by public processions, etc. or by private
“drunks.” In New York City there was"
a procession of 3,000 Orangemen, and
a fight in honor of the day and the senti
ment it arouses in the “true blue” heart.
As the Orangemen were passing into a
Bic-Nic at Elm Park they perceived a
body of about 300 or 400 Irish labor
ers, and gave vent to their feelings in
songs and epithets insulting to the faith
and nationality cf the Celts. A fight
followed, of course. It is claimed
by both parties that the other struck the
first blow, but Police Superintendent
Jourdan, whose sources of information
are certainly more reliable than others
could command, says that the Orange
men played party tunes, used insulting
and opprobrious epithets, and finally
threw stones at the workmen, and fired
several shots before any attack was made
upon .them. Tiie workmen then assault
ed the Orangemen with spades, and eve
ry available weapon. The Orangemen
used revolvers, with which nearly all of
them were armed. The result was that
Thomas Brady was shot in the head and
instantly killed, as also was John Brady,
14 years old, together with a man whose
name is unknown. Four others, Patrick
Carr, Thomas Murphy, Thomas Adams,
and Samuel Smith, were fatally injured,
and a large number of others were se
verely wounded. The wounded Orange
men were taken from the field of couflict
in carriages, and therefore, it is impossi
ble to ascertain their number, but so far,
it is believed no Orangemen were killed.
A force of policemen was summoned to
the spot, who succeeded by vigorous use
of their clubs in quelling the riot. Sub
sequently the cars conveying the Orange
men down town were attacked, and sev
eral persons wounded, and the cars badly
damaged Thomas Kane was met in the
Central Park by some Orangemen and
fatally stabbed' The affair created the
wildest confusion in the neighborhood of
of its occurrence.

Those who will die are as follows: In

Patrick Kane, skull fractured from blow
of a club; insensible. Samuel Smith,
of 74 Mulberry street, terrible scalp
wound ; and five unknown men who were

The Drunkard's Dream
The drunkard dreamed of hia old re
treat,
Os his easy place iu the tap-room seat-
And the liquor gleamed in his gbatino
eye, ‘ °
Till his lips to the sparkling glass drew
nigh,
As he lifted it up with an eager glance
And laughed as he saw the bubbles
dance,
“Ah ! I am myself agaiD !
Here’s a truce to care, an adieu to pain
Welcome the cup with its creamy f oam j
Farewell to work and a mopy home !
With a jolly crew and a flowing bowl !
In bar-room pleasures I love to roll'/
Like a flash there came to the drunkard’s
side
His angel child who that night bad
died !
With a look so gentle and sweet and
fond,
She touched the glass with her little
wand;
And oft as he raised it up to drink
She silently tapped on its silent brink,
’Till the drunkard shook from head to
crown
And set the untasted goblet down.
“Hey, man !” cried the host, “what
meaneth this ?
Is the covey sick ? or the dram amiss ?
Cheer up, my lad ! quick the bumper
quaff*,”
And he glared around with a fiendish
laugh,
The drunkard raised his glass once
more;
And looked at its depths so oft before ;
But started to see on its pictured foam
The face of his dead little child at home!
Then again the landlord at him sneered,
And the swaggering crowd of drunkards
jeered ;
But still as he tried the glass to drink,
The wand of his dead one touched the
brink.
The landlord gasped, “I swear my man,
Thou shalt take every drop of this flowiu"
can.”
The drunkard bowed to the quivering
brim,
Though his heart beat fast and bis eye
grew dim ;
But the wand struck harder than ever
before,
The glass was flung on the bar-room floor;
All around the ring the fragments lay,
But the poisonous current rolled away.
The drunkard awoke. His dream was
gone.
His bed was bathed in the light of morn;
But he saw, as he shook with a pale cold
fear,
A beautiful angel hovering near.
He rose; and that seraph was nigh him
still;
It checked his passion, it swayed his will,
It dashed from his lips the mad’niug
bowl,
And victory gave to his ransomed soul !
Since ever that midnight hour he dream
ed
Our hero has been a man redeemed;
And this is the prayer he prays alway,
And this is the prayer let us help him
pray ;
That angels may come in every land,
To dash the cup from the drunkard’s
hand.
