Monkey. But among us that title is going too much degraded.

Bignose. No, no; friends! For this time you should give in; even for public usefulness; it cannot be durable a State in whose front one doesn't see an influential name, as mine: because I intend to fit in the header of the ordinances this magnificent title: Don Big Tapir Lion Bignose, Big Doctor formed in laws, Big Bachelor of Cap, Student in the Academy of Social Sciences, President of Repillage, etc. etc.

Monkey. I don't give in, even if I go to the devil; it would be a flagrant injustice if, after I am so much tired, sould I occupy a secondary place now. Do they take care that I have already forgotten the fraud of the Deputation?

Treble. Very well, Gentlemen, everything one can accommodate. Let us establish a Triumvirate and we will be all three satisfied.

Bignose. I don't agree. The monosyllabic Government is much more perfect than the triphthong Government. The administrative machine develops more force and activity, more energy in its vigour, being simplified the government's action; for consequence, the Triumvirate would be a radical impediment.

Monkey. Nothing, nothing. I also want to have part in the heifer.

Treble. So, Mr. Bignose, let us propose the subject to the club that doesn't delay to meet, and what we decide, that we will do. In my

opinion the Triumvirate is an advantageous idea. Happily, there are appearing the Parents of the Homeland, these patriots without stain, that must take Brazil besides the clouds, and superior to the storms.

THIRD SCENE.

Club of the Anarchists. Dupe Guts will take the Presidency; Secretary Rattle will read the record of the antecedent, that will be approved. One enters in the order of the day.

Guts. The grateful homeland, Sirs, should raise up statues to the benefactors patriots, that have been making such a vehement opposition to the Government, that for misfortune of Brazil still governs us. Continue illustrious fellow citizens, let us don't lose of view our attack plan. The lie, the slander and the falsehood, everything serves; let us anarchize the Province, and we will have the Repillage.

FOURTH SCENE.

The same ones and the Impartial.

Guts. Very well, Mr. Impartial; why have you still returned? Didn't you tell us yesterday that you wouldn't come again to this club, that seemed to you anarchical?

Impartial. It was so; but today I came, not so much to take part in the discussion, as to inform you that run terrifying rumors on your meeting; and that the Government intends...

Treble. It doesn't intend anything. If the Government make us some violence, we will cry to our comittents that we are un-
