ship line, to which belonged the lost City
of Boston, have brought action In the
Court of Common Please, in England.
against Benz George Jenkins for alleged
libel. This libel was in reference to the
loss of the City Of Boston, and was con-
tanned in letter in which the defendant
made various allegations highly injurious
to the plaintiffs. The defence has adduced
much evidence for the purpose of showing
that the City of Boston was out of trim,
and that she was loaded too deeply. On
these points there was most direct and pos
tive contradiction between the witnesses
for the respective parties The case is not

notwithstanding-these generals and judges,
lawyers and preachers, tax-collectors and Bu-
reau agents, whose every act in the perform
ance of their duty was a humiliation or wound.
There could be no common ground in society
on which two such hostile classes might meet
the one flushed with victory and clothed with
arbitrary power the other humbled and
wounded, and almost despairing.
Fortunately, the antagonism has dimin-
ished with every year. land good
sense on both sides has been productive
of goodwill. The conquerers have
ceased to abuse their brief authority the con-
quered have learned to submit to what could
not be helped, and even to appreciate whatever

coined in all sincerity and, thanks to the genial
influence of the climate and the character OF The

acceptable to those who wish to become ac-

is not entitled to praise on account of its lite

it discusses the subject under consideration.
