At the time this Information was gleaned about ninety letters tf - ' two countries, being assembled at the foreign office of the French republic, and the important document requiring a seal and ribbon, the representatives of the belligerent courteously suggested that, out of compliment to France, this necessary ribbon should be a tricolor one Forthwith a tremendous search was instituted, resulting in th confession that not an inch of the three-colorribbon could be found. Then an inspiration came to one of the great ones present.
