IN FOR IT-HOW TO GET OUT.
Once on time there was gentleman
who won an elephant in rattle.
1t was very fine elephant, and cheap
at the price the gentlema paid for hls
chance.
But the gentleman had no place to put
i: in.
Nobody would take it off his hands.
lie couldn afford to feed it.
lie was afraid of the law if he turned
it loose into the streets
He was too humane TO let it starve.
He was afraid to shoot it.
In short, he was in Il perplcXity very
natural to gentleman with-moderatc
means, small house, common feelings
of humanity all elephant.
France has won her elephant at Rome.
She has brought back the Pope.
She is at her wits end what to do
with him.
She can't abet the Pope and the Car
dinals, because she interiercd i'll the cause
of Liberty.
She cant abct Republicans, because
she intertered in the cause cf the Pope
and Cardinals.
She can't act wit Austria, because
Austria is absolute.
She can't act against Austria, because
Fraucc is conservative and peaceful.
She can't continue her army i'll Rome,
because it is not treated with respect
She can't withdraw her army from
Rome, because that would be to stultiiy
herself.
She can't go forward, because she insis
ted on the Roman people going backward.
She can't go backward, because the
French people insist on her going for
waru.
She can't choose the wrong, because
public opinion forces her TO the right
She can't choose the light, because
her own dishonesty has forced her TO the
wrong
s In one word, she is on the horns of a
dilemma, and the more she twists, the
more sharply she feels the point on which
she is impaled, like a cockcnatcr in u cab
met, for the inspection of the curious i'll
the lighter and more whlrligig species OF
political etymology.
Poor Francc--wll nobody take her
precious bargain oil her hands? Rome is
her bottle imp. She bought it dear
enough, hut can't get rid OF it at any
price.

pitch, to know what the answer wa.
which the lawyers and Court deemed SC
