The Boston Transcript says: "The
man who governs France is much in the
situation of the sailor who caught tiger
in Tub. II he don't sit down on him all
the time as hard as he can, the tiger will
lift the tub and be ont and at him. If
he finds the tub lifting on one side a
shade, and sits more on that side to stop
it. the beast beneath discovers letting
up on the opposite side of the tub and
has his nose out there instanter. Would
not the man on the top sometimes like
to take turns with somebody in govern
ing France, su that he might sleep now
and then out of reach and sound Of the
tiger?"
