This inbarmony as re- cently exhiblted, while we inay huve been moved tv laugh over it, yet Wwe can but appreciateand admire. Americans whose memory reaches back to intercourse with “old revolutioners” can readily understand and appreciate the feeling of aulmosity, and even hatred, that exists betiwcen our Frencis and German friends. It wus well that the Inst of those uld revolutionary patriots were in theirrraves before tho utteratices of those timely and graceful words of President Arthur in recoenition of the later years of friendly re- lations between England and America, and of the sincere efforts of the “honored sovercign and gracious lady who sits on the British throne to perpetuute that friendship.” Those words of our President were timely, because, while thoso who perpetrated outrages and those who suf- fered therefrom were living, the sufferers were justified to their undying thdiguation, yet now. it Is not pair. out of place, but itis harmful to cherish such feelings. ‘It is time to let it be sean that “ peace hath her victories. - -Conceruing those referred te who Hyed ffi the. ‘That slab of Vermont marble was in. “times that tried men’s souls," I have seen my futher, when. bending unaer the weight of $0 yeurs, start at a favorable mention of “Old England,". us he always called it, us it electritied.
