His special 2)atron was a man in office, and pro- prietor of a weekly newspaper. A copy of it was sent me, with a marked article containing absurd and scurrilous abuse of me, and of the Commission for employing me. As this official had shortly before called at my house, and been profuse in compliments and professions of regard,... I went to sec him. Referring to the article, I said, ''It would have given j'ou but the slightest trouble to ascertain that you had been imposed upon in the statements to which you have given currency." He smiled, and asked, "Would you like to see an article I intend to publish to-monow?" handing a galley -proof to me. I read it, and said, " I have marked and numbered with my pencil seven statements in this article, which, I give you my word, can be ascertained, by any one coming to the Park, to be quite untrue." The next day a copj' of the paper was sent me containing the article without the change of a word.
