We have no kind blood even now FOR the 10

scope that drinking water is inhabited by
tribes Of living things; and as for the writer
in Putnam, who gives us the information tha,
the beautiful story Of Jessie Brown at the Siege
of Lucknow is fiction that originated in the
imagination Of a Paris correspondent, we feel
like haying him alive. The fact is, the most
hateful people in the world, in our estimation,
arc those who give their time and talents 10 tie
diSoeditaJie work Of dissipaiing illusions and
proving that what the world loves TO accept as
facts, are, to Use straightforward language,
falsehoods Cursed be the memory Of the his
