His very going out of this country proves there must have been some truth in the broad assertions made by the paper he attacks. And, if there was no truth there, how will he answer, if he does following wireless dispatch which the paper in question sent him night:— answer, last ‘Your farewell statement to the American people in so far ag it re- _}u(es to the Providence Journal, is a wilful and deliberate fal hood.

The result is a study in greens of every conceivable and inconceiv- able shade. Vendure and foliage range from greens that are gray or black to grcons that arc hardly more than vellow.
