These are noble abiveeronts. They are indeed . but there is one other and very simple achievesent which this great infant cannot perfornihe caaot stand ern his own legs!i Of all the things he has ever tione. the grateful nillions who have had to hold him up at auth vast expense would st delight to ace this. For notwithstanding ho can compete. accenting to the consfession of his friends. with Biritish pauper labor in their own markets. and can beat the world. according to the Senator. in so many things. yet no sooner does le hear the proposition to let im stand on his own feet than he is seized with a trembling in all his joints. and at the very sight of a pauper he farlls down in a lit like old Despair of Doubtng Castle. or. like Scotty Briggs when tie larson bit out with his left. "he hunts grass." Truly he is a terrible infant. I would have said in Parisian teris an "enfant terrible." ut I scorn to use he clanguage of a foreign �pauper ! There is another peculiarity about this infant: he seems to affect a cold climate. and to rigidly deny to others any portion of the prstection whichh enjoys.
