<News>: (200) A VISIT TO THE CONVICT-PRISON IN NAPLES: Mr.Gladstone — And what do you call this man? he doesn't look like a villain. The Gaolor — Don't you believe any of it, on the contrary, he's a demagogue, an old constitutional minister of 1848 called Carlo Poërio. In his inexhaustible clemency the best and most worthy of kings ordered that we chain him to an assassin, so that he might return to the good. He'd have been completely lost if we'd left him with another demagogue.
