How it was all Arranged,

(From Fun.)
[The Scene is a room in Downing-street. The Dramatis
Persona) aro two in number ; the ono an aged man, over
whose head many summers had passed,* yet still of
jaunty steps; the other a younger man of astute mien
and budget-calculating eye. Tho aged one answers to
the name of P--n, the younger that of G-8.1
P—L—Good morning, Gladdy, Johnny and I have
been talking over Garibaldi, and we don't half like it.
G --E. —Pooh I nonsense! what's the matter now I'
Johnny says the British constitution is
in danger, and won't admit of so much enthusiasm.;
(sneering)—And he wants to write a despatch
upon it.

P--N.—Well, he did at first, but I dissuaded him. It
is wonderful what messes that little man gets into with pen
and ink. I knooked the idea on the head at once.

G—E (with relief) —I should thinic so. Johnny wants
to go down to posterity as the (not always) polite letter-
writer of the Victorian era, and signally fs.ils in the attempt.
But how about Garibaldi P I suppose you're not afraid of
the Tories getting up another Stansfeld-Mazzini row and
kicking us out ?

P--x.—well, not exactly that. But you see--
G--E.—No, I don't see anything except your fear of
our being kicked out.
P--x.--The Conference--

G---E.—Another of Johnny's projects.
P--ti,—Will be seriously embarrassed by the presenul
of the General in England.

G--E.—Nonsense I—what's he got to do with it ?
r_....--N.—Well, nothing ; but th.entho Emperor mightn't
like it if he stays.

G--E.---And the country won't like it if he goes:
Utruni horunt niavie accipe, and the elections corning on.
P—N—we aro on the horns of a dilemma. Dear,
dear! what's to bo done ?

G----E—Done ? Why I hum I ha I If you you really
think his presence will hinder the Conform:lce, it is
awkward.

P--/c (wheedlingly)—.Don't you think,. Gladdy, as a
known friend of Italy, you could suggest 1 o him on the
quint, as they say vulgarly--
G --E.—Very vulgarly—but proc3ed,
P_N.—That if he wero to—that is to say, should it bo
possible—shorten his proposed scj
it would be as well. His heath, you kno cv, can't stand all
the excitement ho is undergoing;
and t hen consider his
wound.ourn in this country, it

G —E.—Tell him to go, that's what s•Jil. mean. Why
don't you say so at once ?
P--14.---011, no; nothing of the sort. I should be the
very last 'pun toy honour I should—wool dn't hear of it for
a moment. But you Bee,
Gladdy—.
G--E. (with intense disgust)—Cih, I see. I stir pose I
ai
must do it, and hero are no three crrsea open to me. What
dirty work we unfortunate statescien h, ►Fe to do sometimes.
(And somehow or other Garibaldi's I ,tay in tills country
was shortened. Curious—vecy I)
