LEMUEL II. ARNOLD.
Providence, April 7h, 1891.

LEMUIL II. ARNOLD, Esq.-Sir, !
have received your note ofthis date, and
have read the pamphlet accompanying
the same. In relation to tho allegations
contained in that pamphlet, relative to
the Farmers and Mechanics Bank, hav-
ing a mortgage or pledge Of the stock Of
William Harris in the Pawtucket and
Providence East Turnpike, the same are
in my opinion wholly unfoundcd in fact.
| am one of the assignees of William
Harris, and have never had the most dis
tinct intimation or suspicion tha, the Bank
ever had any such claim. The Turn
pike stock, after being duly advertised,
was sold at public auction, by me and
the other assignee of William Harris, to
YOU and j. +. Simmons, being the high
est bidders, on your own individual ac-
count, and who paid us for the same, a
grecably to the terms of the sale, and to
our entire satisfaction, and the Bunk had
no further or other concern in tho trans
action than as creditors of William liar-
ris, and as such having an interest there
in, in common with his other creditors
only. The asslgnecs of William l1ar-
ris had the entire interest Of Harris in
said stock assigned to them, and had the
sole and exclusive control and dlsposi-
ton thereof. In every sale Of any con-
sequence, of trust property, | have re-
quested the Commissioners Of the Bank
to attend, knowing that the Bank were
creditors, and had deep interest in the
proceeds of such sale. | have general
I ly been consulted by the Commissioners
as counsel for the Bank (in which | am
a stockholdcr) and as lar MS my iniorma-
tion extends, their conduct has been
honorable and just, and is not liable to
the imputation of fraud, mismanagcment,
or speculation.

THE PAMPHLET.

I.EpyARp, the traveller, in selecting cpi,hcl
which should paint the character Of the coVn,res
he visited, SCALED the Russia of his tme-the
"Unp,incipled Russia" IL ever such an ep-
thet was meritcd by a party, it has been fairly
won by the adherents ofGcn Jackson, in this State
and elsewhere. With perfect knowledge of Mr.
Arnold's general character and with acknowledge
ments We, warm the lips Of their leaders, that
his integrity and usefulness were not TO be ques-
toned, they sit down coolly, without the slightest
conjunction, and from the joint stock Of their i'm
pudcnce and invention, conrivc to set out the
most scandaous attack on his private reputation.
Our readers nre aware, that Pamphlet of this de-
scription has been published in Providence, and is
now in circulation. II accuses Mr. Arnold Of the
l,asest conduct in the management of the concerns
oi the Farmers and Mechanics Bank, and of an at
temp, to pErRAUD the State, by uniting the stock
or the Providence and Pawtucket East Turnpike
Corporation with the Corporation Of the old roud.
Il sy be seen how completely the first Of these
abrications is ground to the DUST in the correspon-
dence with Mr. Searle. With regard to the charge
of uniting the t,co roads (if anything can be
made on, of charge Of such nature) we assure
our friends, thu it wiH be as .fuiy, and ,6ect-
uaiiy and as speedily onsm1ed, as the one we
have referred ia. In fle mean time we are graft
fed to present to the pabic the two suhjoncd GER
tihcates-one from S. +. Gardner, Esq, one Of the
Commissioners Of the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank, and colleague Of Mr. Arnold; and the 9TH
er from the Directors and Stockholders Of the Bank
Of Rhode Island an institution which has the largest
interest in the Bank first referred to- Ii is unne
cessary for us to speak Of the character of these
gentlemen They some of them politically
opposed to Mr. Arnold but their intelligence and
worth are every where appreciated AS to the
nature Of the certificates, they will speak for
themselves.

What is Lje.--There is an eloquenee Of
thought as we'll as of language in the following
paragraph from Arnott's Elements Of Physic:-
1.-The functions, by which the animal body as
sumes foreign matters from around. and converts
them into its own substance, is little inviting in
some Of its details; but taken altogether one of
the most wonderful subjects which can engage the
human attention. 1t points directly to the un-
answered question-What is LIFE. The stu
dent Of nature may analyze with all his art those
minute portions of matter called seeds and Qua,
which he knows to be the rudiments of future
creatures. and the links by which endless gene
rations Of living creatures hang to exis,cnce:-
but he cannot diseptangIe and display apart, their
mysterious LIFE. that something under the nfu.
ence of which each little germ in due time swel!s
out to gill an invisible mould Of maturity which
determines its forms and proportions. One such
substance thus becomes beauteOus rose bush;
another noble osk;a third an eagle, fourth an
eIephant-yea. in the same way. out Of the rude
materials Of broken seeds and roots, and leaves
of plants, and bits of animal flesh, is built up
the human frame itself. whether Of the active
male combining gracefulness with strength, or
Of the genter woman, with beauty around her as
