The European Situations.

England to Russia—Now, after all, We don’t wont to fight, do we ? Russia—Well, fighting is ugly business anyhow. I’ve just got through one tussle, and— England—Yes. We might get hurt, mightn’t we ? Russia—Yes; one of us might. England—How beautiful is peace and good will. • Russia—Yes. Angels do be peaceful, don’t they ? England—Yes. You didn’t mean all you said, did you ? Russia—No. I was pretty mad then. But you used some pretty hard words. England—Yes; maybe I did. But let’s be friends anyhow. Germany—Yaw, boysh; dat ish goot. Zschake hands—unt ton’t be shooting mit guns. Es you zhoets I zhoots mit mine too. Poy, drei lager. Nelson and Wellington (looking down on this from the battlements of Nelson) —Well, if they ain’t backing down and taking water all around. Wellington—No, it’s their frothy beer. Poor, thin stuff. If they used the port of our day we’d seen the claret tapped before this.— New York Graphic.
