COMMENTS OF TIE LONDON PRESS THsaEoS.
Mr.. sswards dsspaach rejecting ths Emperor Eaps
Icons last proposition attracts considerable Comment
The London 7Nes asserts that Mr. Seward II not pre-
ternaurally right s nsomprehsDebly wrong after
quoting and commenting on Mr.. Stewards view OF the
position OF Affairs in iis article, concludes follows
1--WE must allow that this picture Of Affairs In consistent
consistent that H. with eli that Mr. Seward has written
from the beginning II the very story without change
or omission, which have have had backed with he
note Of hand a. ninety days date and renewed any
Der Of times during the last two years 10 IL consistent
enough, 20 far, beyond q doubt whether It has any
consistency with facts or truth Is question which
had much rather leave TO be decided by events than
argue with Mr.. Seward at present.
The London Aovsg Post very bitter upon the letter
and looks upon il as mere "bunconbrn II sAys:-"Per-
baps Mr. Seward expects 10 gain in Washington amongst
certain classes little political capital, and exchange
for that Indifferent about the contempt he must incur
In Europe stu emansng, this document does from
the federal Cabinet, IL Is truly Incredible that that body
should have sunk 10 low 70 endorse In the
face OF the world much faschood absurd

The London Morning Star praises the despatch thinks
cradle and shows that henceforth not the
mdest form Of interference can nave the least hope OF
acceptance.

account of farmer he formerly knew who
was born without arms, +" Instead of appeal

was a hen and chickens, the next a pet lamb.
and afterwards a shaggy colt. He took care

time, until he became a prosperous farmer.
Having no hands he learned to use his toes,
which were longer than common. His legs
were also very flexible, and by practice he
was enabled to perform most operations with

was terror to evil doers. whom he could
punish with severity. He was powerfully
