A Remarkable Plot.

Remarkable Plot.
MAzzrNr, who is silent amid the din of arms,
and whose sword Is In his tongue, has come
out with another revolutionary squeak, in
shrili contras; to the thunders of Solferino,
which have just died upon the air. MAXIM
has just found q mares nest, and is cackline
over 1t prodigiousiy. He aiiirms, ''not upon
mere conjecture, but by know ledge of the fact,
that 50 new Holy Alliance" has been inaugu-
rated between Russia, Austria and France, il
which they have agreed to divide among them
selves the effects of the sick man, Turkey, and

War is for the Empire an absolute necessity
The Empire does not represent principle: such
faith, such theocracy. The Empire represents
tact--a force created bt usurpaton and this fac,

in his line, but neither has the capacity to
