AMERICA

Ex-Governor Dingley, of Maine, who has just returned from abroad, says that John Bright declared to him that “America is bound to be the country of the future.” Mr. Dingley adds that it is surprising to listen to the favorable comments upon America which are now heard in Europe. Not many years ago our country was spoken of slightingly and even with derision. All this has changed. An American hears his country spoken of with approbation and even with eulogy. Americans are treated with a respect and courtesy that is shown to few foreigners. Everywhere he went, in nearly every railroad car, in hotels, on the street, he heard discussions of the prospects of America, with such remarks as these: “What a wonderful country!” “How rapidly America is developing!”
Strange, indeed, if this country is not a subject of prophecy.
