Whilst proud of what we have done, we regret that we have not done more. Our achievements have been great enough, however, to make it easy for our people to acknowledge superior merit wherever found; and now, fellow-citizens, I hope a careful examination of what, is about to be exhibited to you, will not only inspire von with a nrofound respect for the skil and taste of our friends from other nations, but also satisfy you with the attainments made by our own people d urine the nast one hundred years.

Consuls Beat to Death by Musselmen -History of the Outraee--CaBtellar Favors Liberty of Conscience. Paris. May 10. Th Correspondence Universelle says the foreign govern ments have forwarded the following account of the origin of the distur bance at Salonica to their legations at Paris : The American Consul was at a railway station when his attention was attracted by the cries of a christian girl. She was surrounded by a score of musselmen, who wanted to take her forcibly to the Mosque. The Consul took the girl under his protection. While he was seeking information as to her nationality, the German and French Consuls were separately in formed that a woman belonging to their separate nations had been dragged into the Mosque. They consequently repaired to the Mosque where they were beaten to death. The Paris correspon dent of the Times learns that the American Consul, fearing that the mob would succeed in forcing his house, sent the girl to the .German Consulate. The mob in the Mosque compelled the German Consul to sign an order for her delivery, and then murdered him. London, May 10.
