But the whole thing is hollow, a falsehood all_nnau

To trace things to their source, the treaty by

found out the mistake. A civilised people does cep

a town, or send a handful of men to sabre tlle, their

dark vindictiveness, and on the first opPo'd to
retaliate by assassination. How can we Pretel.'Bol
be astonished at it ? It is the savage's natur3l

with all their pretence of refinement, their 037,egt

last mail from Japan shows us that we„tioo
indeed reached a critical point in our re`,`" or'
with that country. Its tidings have broughA" :ors,

whose misfortune it has been to be sent "1-.00
on this ungenial shore. It seems that thepntsl
