story Of the farmer who, nursed the viper,

The event Of the afternoon was the visit
to the mountain Of the Mexican editors,
who were presented to the General by {. H.
Talbot OF Chicago. Senior Augustin Arroyo
de Anda addressed the Genera, saying that
they could not pass so near without pay
ing their respects TO one who had done so
much for his country and for the promo
ton OF good feeling between the two Re-
publics. In response General Grant wrote
as follows: u
My great interest in Mexico dates back
to the war between the United States and
that country. My interest was increased
when iour European Irlonarchies attempted
to set up their institutions on this
continent, selecting Mexico. q territory
II was an outrage on human
rights for q foreign nation TO attempt the
transfer OF her institutions and her rulers
TO the territory Of civilized people
without their consent. They were
ieariully punished for their crime.

begin an upward aud prosperous depart
