| the blood of your heroes; nay, else pos
terity might weep for your ilnbecility, il
you suffered these blessings TO pass from
you but with the last ray Of your exis-
, tence.
A new era has arrived. Ignorance
| and superstition, the very bane OF civil
, liberty, are every where giving place to
virtue and intelligence, and the progress
If the human mind, before which ty-
rants trembie, bids fair TO demolisb, in
It's course, these seif-created potentates,
and to restore man to the rank and dig
nifty which his Creator allotted TO him.
Shall we, then, by our exertions, assist
IN the completion of this fair fabric. or
supinely suffer the superstructure to be
destroyed Chill, it is believed, like the
United States of America, would not fail
to embrace the former.
From the Representative of free
people, whose soil, like that Of Chill, is
unpo luted by the feet Of tyrants, these
sentiments have been eficiled: may they
be received in that spirit Of friendship
with which they have been submitted;
and, under the Divine protection, may
the tree of liberty, which has been rear
ed in this highly favored land, and con-
secrated by the blood of heroes, cont
nue. to be watered BY the dews Of tiea.
ven, expand and bear rich fruit to the
remotest time; and never, oh! never,
may it be said of this rising Republic
She once was free, she once was happy,
she once was independent"
The SUPREME DIREcToR replied as
follows:--
"ihe government Of Chill is happy 10
recognize, in your Excellency, the wor-
thy .sIiuister OF the United States Of
America--of that great and respectable
nation whose laws and whose civic vir-
tues will ever be the admiration Of the
world. Happy will It be for Chill,
should she be able to discover and pur-
sue the means OF drawing close the rela-
tons OF friendship and interest between
the two nations for this alone would
be sufficient to perpetuate her tranquil
1t. and happiness. In the meanwhile
your kxceilencJ and your nation, will
accept the gratitude Of the people d
Chill, for the generous acknowledgment
of their independence; Tor the favorable
disposition which, in relation to these
new States, is manifested, by the Presi-
dent, IN his late Message to The sovereign
Congress, and for the honor which is
conferred on them in the mission Of your
Exceliency."

LATE FROM LAFAYETTE.
Extract q letter 10 gentleman IN Pc
ttrs6urg, { Virginia. dated

"HAsEs NJ GnAcA, june ii, 1894.
Almost the last hour spent In Paris
was in company with the venerable La
iayette--althougn 81 years old, he has
preserved to that advanced age that
yigor Of mind and body which We do not
always ind in those that are much
younger. Lie is very plain in his man
ners speaks English huently. The
first time saw ,ne distinguished votary
OF '76; was in company with celeDra-
ted General and about fifteen or twenty
Americans: The General seeing such
number OF rs together, all for tue same
object, said to ten. Lafayette, Your
children (pointing TO us) are the most
aftec,ionate in the worId.a The old
veteran rose trom his seat, with tears
trembling in his eyes, and taking us
aliecIonately by the hands, said, ~In-
deed you are my children.n His doors
are ever open 10 the Americans, and
there are very few who visit France
without seeing hfni.
"Nhile on my last visit with Mr.. Bar
net, the American Consul, Capt. Macy,
of the fine new ship S,ephania, one Of
the line Of packets between tiavre and
New York, called to ask the General il
he would accept of bis cabin, and do
him the honor TO take passage with him
to the United States. This is the fifth
or sixth application of the kind he has
received since 1t has been known that
he had declined the provision made BY
Congress, tor conveying him to the
United States. | think It probable that
he will leave Paris about the 9th of Ju-
~, and most likely go out in the Ste
phania-but it is by no means certain.
I'm the way of political news, have
none to give you. This country is in a
very prosperous condition, but the peo-
pie are losing rapidly the little liberty
they have left. The longer Iremain in
Europe tho more | am convinced Of
the happy condition OF our country, and
have often thanked Godthat | am an A.
merican."
