Tho official English of Latin countries is a queer language, as translations of public documents and announcements have frequently shown. A wonderful example was lately furnished by the fob lowing placard, which was posted in the streets of Siena:—“To strangers, especially Inglish: The moat illustrious Sir, Gambinelli, while working [walking] last week on the street principle was gravely stiuck on the foot by a piece of crystal launched by a stranger in a neighboring street, who was hiding sideways. The missal has not been founded, but without doubt it was a happy bit of dinamite which was not exploding. A short time after an Englishman with a durty grey beard was seen struggling with a laddie [lady] in the Lizza [public garden of Siena], before the coneatilde of the policy could rejoin him, vanished ! A recompense of 500 Lire will be given to whomever could uncover the hiding place of this abominable convict.” Still the French and Italian of a moderately well educated Englishman would not appear to the native ear any leas absurd than this.
