John Bull we sorry TO say, sometimes flies into
rage and even descends be false in his expressions
Blackwoods Magazine for November contains specimen
OF English criticism of the most refreshing character in ref
American art and industry at the Paris Worlds
Exhibition. Its more undisgused than usual

No wonder that poor John exhibits such peculiar
tpathy against those "deadly tools" (Colrs revovers
which, horrible dict well known and most likely well
used by his emi-barbaan antagonists in the Crimea.
He finds us "practcal and poor" because exhibit

chimes ploughs &C. feed him, his ally and good
many other European nations 1t would be bad enough
for him and his friends if farmers should begin to make
bad paintings and to cultivate than they used

the lions share OF the rewards provided profnsey for their
cher en and divided the rest among other nations.
