remained of her he would not desert her, nor would he
allow any of them to do no. Attar much persuasion they
resumed duty Towards evening steam was got on the
donkey-engine, and with Its valuable aid the water wag
pumped out of the engine-room and stoke-hole in much
greater quantities, thus enabling them to light the part-

cracy,andademocracy. France, however, at the present
time seems in a fair way to solve the problem. She has an
Imperial Government at Metz, a Provisional Govern-
ment at Paris, • Republican Government at Tours, •
Red Republican Government at Lyons, and a military
Government exercised by the Prussians, presiding over
them all; in fact, if asked what ie her present form of
government, she could only answer, like the Lace-
da,monian interlocutor in the dialogue in Plato's
Treatise on Laws," "When I consider the
Constitution of Lacechemon I cannot readily say by
what name it should be called. In the first place,
it appears to rd semble • deepotiam, for the power of
the Ephorium has a marvellously despotic character;
and yet it sometimes seems to be more democratic than
the Government of any other State. On the other
hand not to call it an aristocracy seems altogether
absurd. Moreover, it has kings who hold their dignity
for life,belonging to a lineage confessedly more ancient
than any other in Greece. So that, being thus cud.
denly called on for my opinion, I must acknowledge
myself unable to define the Conetitution of my native
country."
France has tried so many experiments that an entirely
new one could scarcely do her any farther harm, and
would be very interesting to the political student. A
hereditary Provisional Government, for instance, would
be an entire novelty; it might pow ibly be found to be
the exact form of government calculated to satisfy her
yearnings, and lift her from eternal restlessness to
eternal repose.
