Conselhiero, who is gaining ground every day.

The revolution has indeed gained such a strong hold in Brazil that it
will be a very difficult task to put it down.

The Greater Republic of Central America does not seem to be having a very
pleasant time of it.

If you remember, it was only recognized by our Government in December
last, and already there is trouble.

On page 220 of Vol. I we told you that the Greater Republic of Central
America was formed by the union of the three republics of Honduras, San
Salvador, and Nicaragua.

Now there is a revolution in Honduras; one of those toy revolutions we
spoke about in No. 22 of THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.

In all the small South American Republics, revolution and rebellion is as
the breath of life to the people.

If a general gets popular with his soldiers he at once plots to overthrow
the government, and with the help of the army become president himself.

Every man who is either clever or ambitious gets up a toy revolution to
depose somebody, and take his place.

The present revolution appears to be of the usual kind.
