A London correspondent OF the ". Y.
Tribune, who never writes anything that
is not worth reading, thus writes in rela-
ton TO the refusal Of the Sultan Of Turkey
to give up the Hungarian Refugees TO the
tender mercies of the Russian Autocrat:

Mankind has been tumbiing for the last
l8 months, standing on its head, and on
various other parts beside the feet. II

selves, whether what we have called the
feet were not the head, and rice rersa, so

and members Of the Grand Man. The
odd phenomena were begun by the Pope,
who has now left us quite misty as to
what the Popedom is, whethe. iniallible
or fallible, conservative or progressive,
secular or religious. The Pope first

and assemblies wagged to and fro in the
air, like couple OF subverse legs brand
ished by an Athlete. Oddly, could not
have begun from higher place. or rad'at-
ed upon more comprehensive principle.
