He drew a symathetio which dropped from his feeling pen look like tears. And with spemal fervor he dwelt upon the heavy fin- ancial obligations which England had assumed toward the United States, and expressed grave fears that the British Exchequer mi ht not be able to pull through. a whole was intended to be a most kindly reaching of the Colonel’s hand across the sea. But he finds ~.1t instead of being clasped, pretty } nearly bitten. A-.. John Bull is not out to obtain' sympathy, thank you very much. If it is a question of grumbling about his own atl'airs, he Will. attend to that himself without any and from the outside. Gloomy prOphecies about the future of England, he would keep as his own preserve. Tres- passers upon it from other countries he roughly warns oil the premises. Thus it is that something like a chorus of English newspapers and public men has started up to tell Colonel Harvey that he may mean well, but doesn’t know England; that the old country has no idea of going to the demnitiou bow-WOWs, and that it is absurd to misunderâ€" stand the Englishman exercising his inalienable right lo abuse his rulers and complain bitterly of the con- durt of public atl'airs. And besides. the resentment of John Bull at lind- ing his own grumblings and roar- ings taken too seriously by a. forâ€" eigner, he is specially exuspernlml at the hint that his credit at the bank. may not be what it used to be. John Bull. in fact. wants it. to be. known that he is still doing busi- ness at the old stand.
