Mr, Bayard is diffident, not to say timid, and he would be very loth to do anything, or have the United States do anything which England might disapprove of. Consequently he opposes the Nicaragua scheme, and very obediently tags on to John Bull’s tail, to be dragged in whatever direc- tion that puissant animal may be pleased to carry him. Assuredly, if George Washington could look down from the top of his monument at the country that he founded, he would find a great deal to be surprised at.

ORNAMENTING our fashionable society, ing the effulgence of his presence upon our social gatherings, feted by the few and lionized by the many, we have at present in onr midst Lord Garmosle. This young gentleman is the son of a well-known legal lord, and owes much of his distinction to the proud position his father attained on the English bench, for he has no pretensions whatever to birth, as Lord Cairns was the founder of his own fortunes.
