CAUSE AND EFFECT.
When the Daily Trombone warns the POPE of Rome that his course is prejudicial to the interests of true Catholics, the venerable prelate doubtless adopts a new policy forthwith. When the Evening Slasher informs NAPOLEON that unless he conciliates the people of France his dynasty will be overthrown, the Emperor doubtless at once confers with his Minister of State concerning the advice thus proffered. When the Morning Pontoon warns VICTORIA that her persistent seclusion is damaging to the cause of the throne, Her Gracious Majesty, without doubt, changes her habits of life instanter. When the Sunday Blowpipe sagely informs BISMARCK that he is a blunderer, the great diplomatist is probably thrown into convulsions by the appalling intelligence. When the Weekly Gasmeter coolly accuses the Czar of Russia of insincerity and double-dealing, that potentate doubtless writes a private note to the editor, defending his honor and policy. When the Gridiron advises VICTOR EMMANUEL to be less rigid in his diplomacy, or he will regret it, beyond question V.E., alarmed and chagrined, reverses his policy in accordance with the advice tendered. When the Daily Pumpkin informs GRANT that the people are disappointed in him, he simply smokes.
Very Fishy!
An English exchange speaks of the Emperor of Russia as "a queer fish." Must we infer from this that he is a Czar-dine?
RATHER A HARD HIT.
