"Not Understood"
Poor Mir Maxwell 1 Some of hie friends tried hard to welcome him hack with a flourish of trumpets, but tiie blare died away in a melancholy toot, which every body is laughing at. We : are sorry for Maxwell : he is, taking him altogether, not a bad sort of fellow, and deserved much better treatment from those who made him Autrocrat of all the Railways. He has always been a round peg in a square hole and painfully aware of the fact, though he never "let on" that he was. His day is done; the banner of .the Maxwells, like that of the Squeerses "is tore," and their sun has" gone down into the ocean wave." We bear him no ill-will now and, in the plentitude of our forgiveness, will even overlook the caustic little sneers levelled at the Press in the last report which a deluded country will ever permit him to indite. Goodbye, Maxwell, you meant well, but yau didn't know. — Bell.
