been a message of peace to the United States The Standard discredits the statements of the Times but the Journal cury and other papers adhere implicitly to the Times The Times of December 5th

the article to which 1 allude reads as follows The American Minister hits been charged with misinforming the Times for the pose which probably some diplomatists not think dishonorable of sending to

not to publish it knew to be false upon the suggestion of any one of all upon the suggestion of a foreign Minister Mr however for the sake of his own honorable and pure character and for the sake of the honor of his country would do well to acquit himself of a charge that has been very extensively lated in the city Thirty years of high public service and n in private life which is proverbial placed Mr McLane beyond the reach of like these nnd it would be impossible for such to a moment's dence in America or with any one in Europe to whom is 1 scarcely deem them worthy of but yet lest in

for revenge The wine peddler hud a hen with a fine brood of ens nnd they often used to venture near the door of tlie shoemaker He accordingly cured some bread and scattered it hU door and enticed the

dress said Crispin ns I have done to your fowls you have done to me You enticed me into your stripped me of my clothing and left me destitute What I have done to fowls you did to a On the charge of
