The judicial archives Of Guatemala are

It is likewise false that the present

Nendez. now lives in a house that be

viii say. as Emerson himself that !
must repeat ad nauseam that he does not
speak the truth: that al which he writes
IS inaccurate and false.

viii not do Mr.. Emerson the honor
Of paying any attention TO the insults and

the venerable persons that form the
GUatemalan judiciary. They are far above
the Sratuitous and despicable attacks that
anybody might choose to direct against
them.
To conclude. I viii give Mr. Emerson
this disinteTested advice: When his ac-
cOmmOdating correspondents in Guate-
mala send him pictures 10 illustrate the
brilliant lubricatons Of his brain. he
should ask at least, where they come
from, so that he shall not be laughed al
