Natural consequences OF a Cruel and
Priest-ridden Government.
Among the SUBMITS of our Derbyshire
highlands stand the ruins of mountain. 1t
was never quite an Alp, but even within the
reach. of human tradition it is said to have
been a gOodly peak. The tourist who eI-
plores that caveTnOus district still pauses to
gaze and wonder at the mass of rubble into
which that sbivered mountsin has fallen. 1t
was not split into fragments by any tremen-
dous volcanic explosion; no riven rocks or
large boulders lie about; there is nothing
grand or picturesque in the ruin. Some in
ternal weakness seems to have operated to
destroy the cohesion of all the constituent at
oms of that towering sham. Operated upon
by no force which had any effect upon the
limestone rocks around, yielding to some in
fuence scarcely greater than that of the ordi-
nary attraction of gravitation, one day it be-
gan to crumble and dissolve; and now it lies

yesterday raised its head so high in Naples
and Sicily, and to-day crumbles without a
touch at the mere menace Of an insurgent
chief.
Such events, at rare intervals, do happen
both in physics and in morals, but never
without their causes more or less occult, and
never without our special wonder. The pass
ing away of the Kingdom of Naples is like a
story Of magic. It is not less wonderful than
those tales which amuse our childhood, where
in we were told of castles with horrible guar
disns and dreadful dungeons, which endured
in their tyrannous power for ages, echoing to
the mosns Of daring knights, but which in a
moment vanished into thin air when the des-
tined champion blew his blast. Translate the
widest of these stories into natural language,
and we shall read no more than we may read
in that great European event which has pass
ed before our eyes during the last fortnight.
