cured q kingdom in the sea OF the coast
OF Brazil, The Baron Hardln.IIickSy,
whom report celebrates as being IN en-
anatIon Of the county Galway, Ireland,
no sooner makes sure OF his island
kingdom beneath his feet than he pro-
claims himself monarch thereof, and
declares himself in on the royal game
as the Prince OF Trinidad, this last be-
ing the name OF his island, 1t is now
that, having arranged himself US u king,
the Prince OF Trinidad, alias tho Baron
Hardin.IIickoy, raps at the doors Of the
divers soverslgns Of tho earth for re-
cogniIlon.
The prince OF Trinidad Is able to show
that when no proclaimed his rule over
his moagre little wavG.washsd domain
no Qua protested. This inhabitants arc
confined entirely to members oil the
tribe OF fiipper.wlngod peugutns, half
fish, hall fowl, aud when the princo set
up his standard tho penguins looked
mildly on, aud beyond Tapping their
short, frivolous pintons q hit, made
no demonstration. lhld last WAS taken
as u mark oil approval on the p6uguins'
part by the prince OF Trinidad, aud as
indicating the penguins' endorsement Of
his sovereignty with their full name.
Tho penguina arc . mild folk, slothiul
mentally, aud birds OF no vast push or
enterprise, aud it Is very like the prince
reads them right At least, no ono
makes tho contest that his kniEhLiy
bluff announcing himself as the ruler
OF the polka dot island OF Trinidad has
been called or raiasd by anybody,
But, notwithstanding the peaceful,
unconteslsd fashion IN which tho prince

It would appear that no sooner had

uniurlod as the butterfly Primes OF
Trinidad than he was At once struck by
tho utter absence OF nobility. 1t was
clear that no royalty could exist with
no intermediate stops in the nature OF
u nobility to separate the Trinidad pur-
Pile from the Trinidad penguins. This
mistaken popular condition was ut
once repaired. Tho prince sent bun.
die OF lOtteri through the mails, and in-
yited divers and sundry gentlemen,
presumably out OF a Job, to come and
be the nobility OF Trinidad. As nothing
better WINS offered by tho gods nj that
timo several accepted, among them one
who by the ennobling touch oil the
prince arose from the one knee upon
which he had fallen, agreeable to the
rules laid down In the royal lIoyle, as
the Count dc la Boisseric.
It would not pay ones board to dwell
on this nsw.laid count save for tho fact
that in the grand enterprise OF securing
recognition Tor this king OF the Cham
payne Island the Count dc Ia Bolsserie
was long ago dispatched TO daily with
our state department and give Uncie
Sam the royal Jolly. The count Is now
going about in the American long grass
somewhere, and is slated TO FematH

IN his high official guiae Of ambassador
from tue Prince OF Trinidad aforesaid.
This is rs 1t should be, for while a count
is no novelty in Washiugton-for We
