It suggests a Chaucer. or one of the early An Saxton editions of Shakespeare as av appropriate present. A rival journal deprecates the suggestion as altogether improper. A dtplomat, it de- clares, m y not accept a present from the to whese government he is accred- But this journal would do honor to Bayard, and so proposes a dinner for people ited Mr. him. From the point of view over here, dinner would appear to be the thing. Bayard reads his Shakespeare, just as all educated Americans do. But a recent edi- tion, In good type, would probably serve his purpose, and contribute to his enjoy- ment of the immortal text, far more than one of those early folios would do. A din- ner would gather all of his English friends about him. bring forth a toast which would &ive him his favorite cue, and enable him the Mr. published in Washtug- | once more to compliment his hosts and apologize for his own people. The English in that performance would see Mr. Bayard | in his favorite role, and would receive an- other impress of his suave personality. But that would not change history. The fact that the United States and England are on better terms today than for a long time past, and appear to be entering upon a period of thorough gocd will toward eaca other is no part of Mr. Bayard’s work. ! Such a condition of affairs could never have grown out of his diplomacy. Compliments and suavity have their uses, and Mr. Bay- | ard, it is to be conceded, is an adept in that j line, but they never brought two sturdy and earnest peop! to a correct under- standing and appreciation of each other. Mr. Bayard wor ld never have brought Eng- | land to the proper conception of the Monros, dectrine, ard, through that means, to a proper appreciation of the purposes of the United States. While he was balancing phrases and trying to restrain his people from doing or saying anything that the overnice might consider rude, #ngland woul] have run her own lines in Venezuela and everywhere else it pleased her.

A Tribute. Ah, “busy bee,” kow oft’ they quote Your conduct as a sample; And I, for one, with sanction note At present your example.

You sleep, despite the flight of time, Ceoniented and disdainful. [ Fisisuen, The Busy Corner, 8th & Market Space. §.
