The St. Domistoo Republic— Mist of the Central and South American Republics are governed at this moment by enemies of the Catholic Church. Peru and Bolivia, Mexico and Ecuador, Paraguay and the Argentine Confederacy, have all fallen away from that bond of Catholic union to which they are indebted for their very existence as civilised communities. There_ is one creditable exception to be noted : it is the small Republic of St. Domingo, which occupies about half of the Island of Hayti. The latest intelligence from this island informs us that a Catholio priest, Father Agostino Menino, was recently elected President of the Republic, and that, directly after his installation, he surrounded himself with a strictly Catholic ministry. St. D>mingo is, perhaps, the only Republic of Central America whose budget shows a surplus instead of a deficit, and it is altogether a f»ro*perdus little commonwealth. It is not ikeiy to fare any the worse for having a minister of the Church of Christ for its chief magistrate. — Catholic Universe. Caught iv the Aot.— The performer who forgets his part.
