A Dodge In Diplomacy.

Brigadier General Augustus Caesar Dodge,
ex-senator in Congress, and Minister Pleni-
potentiary and Envoy Extraordinary from
the government at Washington to the Court
of Madrid, has been heard from For more
than two years We had forgotten his where
abouts but envious dullness can conceal the
light of diplomacy no longer The veil is
rent and Broader General augustus Caesar
stands contest. The General is ND to his
epaulettes in trouble. His tinselry shakes
with the strength # his rage, and the red in
the feathers of his lofty plume which has
waved victoriously over many an unfought
field, pales before the fiery scarlet of his an
cry and war-like face. What has the Brig
adler done that he should wax wroth in the
doing, that, when he comes with lofty port,
a sword between his legs, twist Of pig-'ail
in his mouth, and leaden stupidity in his eye,
the grandees of the Court should look at him
askance and their danes and daughters tip
him the cold ends of their coquettish fans
Has the General been chewing in the queen
lv presence and using the carpet of the royal
salons asa spittoon: has he blundered in his
little French, called the Queen quenn, and
made the mistake IN offence by an apology
worse than the original error; has he mis-.
taken Spani h Court for an Iowa caucus,
Cuba for Kansas, bravery for buncomb, pat
riotism for pother, sound for sense, and
westernisms for wisdom? In a word, has
the Brisader fulfilled his mission? The
telegraph answers oSscurely; but, whatever
the cause, the General is in scrape, and
the world in suspense. A pig in gard r
caused the ''Last War - who knows that q
Dodge in diplomacy may not be the occa-
sion of the next? Great Caesar, abate th,
rage, and avert the woes which thy wratl
would bring Chicago Tribune.
