the varied leaves Of the magnificent trees
for which the foreats of America are 20
celebrated, and whose brilliant tints are
we'll known to exceed in vivid coioEing
even the foliage Of tropical plxuts. Part
of THIS curious collection was placed in an
album, aud sent to Queen Victoria, and a
precisely similar album vas sent by the
same steamer to the Empress Of the French.
But the reception Of the poor lady's Offer
ing at the different courts in question Was
very different. From the 6rst arrived an
acknowledgment, penned BY IN Official,
stating that, "for once" the sovereign" had
condesceuded to sccspt the Offering, which,
however, it was hoped, would not be con.
sidered as = precedent or encouragement
for any future similar gifts" From the
second the donor had the infinite gratifics-
ton of receiving few lines from the pen
