said Magutlin, glaring at his questioner,
and, disdaining to answer further, he
dropped his eyes on the paper and read
ON: .'Ihe Cabinet could only find u

Lcgitimists, or by the union of the
moderate Left with the Ministerialists.'
"Rather dusty outlook for the Cabi-
net, ch?" said Magrudcr, "and some
what pcrplcXingfor the bookkecpertha
keeps track of the factions"
Maguiin (still rcading)--" NJ. Buffet
must renounce the least cooperation
from the Moderate L.eft.n
Magruder-Good heavens! Is it pos
siblc?
Magulin-''The Leon Sayand Feray
incident has placed an impossible bar
rier between the Left Center and him.
Magruder Cdeprccatingly)-Bad bad.
Those fellows ought not to DO any thing
likely to make trouble FOR Buffet.
Magnfin-'M. Buffet then can only
govern with the four groups of the
Right"
Magruder--Ies, that's true. Still, ~
thc same time, | should think he ought
to get some help from the impossible
Barriers.
Magufin-" lie resolutcly pushes the
Moderate Left toward the Radical Left,
and himself becomes the prisoner Of the
Bonapartists of all shades, being forced
at the same time 10 reckon on the sup
port Of the Lcgitimists.n
Magruder-A-a-ah! Tough nut, that
Buffet. If he ever really does uncoil
himself e llmakc it hot for the boys.
Magui'in-Such II combination would
be the signal for the most disastrous
complications.
Magruder-So, l differ with you there.
Disastrous, maybe; complicated, never;
that is, not so long rs they keep their
present bookkeeper. He seems to me
to lie Il very c~lcar-hcaded man.
MaguAin-If France is really TO be
saved another policy must prevails
policy liberal, moderate, and firm
against all violence and agitation. This
policy is only possible with the Left
Center.
Magruder-F Fine policy that. l like
it, and if any body can carry it out the
Left Centers are the men to DO it.
Magutlin-" Happily the good sense
and honest ideas of President MacMahon
suffice to reassure France, and we may
be certain that the next session will
open under u Cabinet realizing the
promise OF Lille and summoning around
it the moderate men OF all parties"
Experimentation for Mac! But at
the same time I think there's something
wrong. We hear enough about the
Rights and Let's and Right Centers and
Left Centers and Ministerialists and An
ti-Repubiicans and various kinds OF 80
napartists and Legitimists OF all brands
and Moderates and Groups and Radi-
Gals and Orleanists and Republicans and
lrreconcilables aBd Irrcsistibles and
Ultras and Bourbons and the other lead
ing factions, TO say nothing Of the minor
subdivisions which the bookkecper does
not let on about; but where, Mr.. Ma
gutlin, where are the Fronts and Backs,
the Tops and Bottoms, the Sides and
Ends, the North-north-easts and South
south-wcsts, anu the North-cast-by-
north-quarter-norths? Sir. there is
treachery here, and there can be no
peace until the Ultramarines are COM
PEELED to join with the Bonapartists and
force things on the Let's and Right Cen
ters! Force things? l would jam it
clean through 'em if necessary, and the
result would surely be a junction be-
tween the Irreconcilables and the IRE
sistibles, to say nothing of the soothing
effect that such action would have on
the Materialists and the Bullets. This,
sir, is the true plan for the Eagle of
France to flap their wings-over this
the path that leads to glory.-N. Y. Sun.
