Death Of the Celebrated His'ori"n
GrOte.

Wa have to record the death OF the
o.,ohratad historian and scholar, George
Grote which took place on Monday. This
distinguished man is chiefly known to the
world az the author of "the History OF
Greece" a work published in twelve vol
umes, which is admitted to be the best
history of Greece cxtant Mr.. Grote was
of German extraction, and was the son OF
Mr.. Grote, one Of the partners in Lon
don banking house. He was born IN the
year 1894, at Berkenham, in Kent, and
when sixteen years of age entered his
fathers bank az a clerk. His taste for
literature appears to have been very ar
dent, for he devoted all his spare time to
its study. He was decided radical, and
took great interest in the passing OF the
English Reform Bill in 1881, and shortly
afterward he entered parliament, where
he distinguished himself as a powerful
advocate of the vote by ballot--a reform
which he no doubt would have witnessed
had he lived another year. He also en-
braced the pelitico. economical doctrines
of John Stuart Mill and the philosophy OF
Comte. In religion he was Unitarian
Thus imbued with liberal or Democratic
principles, he engaged upon the arduous
undertaking of writing Democratic his
tory of Greece, taking the side OF the
Demos, in opposition to that written by
Milford, swho advocated the aristocratic
party. This idea was, in his own Ian
puage, "to exhaust the free life OF collec.
tive Hellas." In this admirable history
the work that has immortalized his name
the poets, historians, orators, and phil
osophers of Greece have been rendered
both more Ineligible and instructive to
the student, and the general picture OF
the Grecian world can be conceived with
degree of fidelity which, considering
our imperfect materials, it is curious to
contemplate. The first volume of this
work was not published until 1916, but
he commenced to collect materials for 1t
as far back as 1928. This history has
been translated into the German language
Mr.. Grote has opened up many new
sources of information in his history, and
he has beautifully traced the progress o.
Hellenic thought. His description OF Soc
rates could not be surpassed, and he ex
poses the generous and ardent nature Of
Demosthenes. His style is strong and
forcible, although in many parts OF hi
work it is dry and unattractive, but every
line of it is highly appreciated by TIT
scholar.
Mr.. Grote wrote several political article
for the magazines, and there can be NJ
doubt that in his death a very learned
philosophical and liberal genius has pass
ed out of the world. His history will re
main forever. A year or two ago MIR

Orr Dumb Animals.

CASTLETON, June IL.
Editor Rutland Herald Will You
allow me, through the columns of your
paper, to ask any disposed to answer, up
on whom rests the enforcement of the
laws of the State of Vermont.

know that there exists in this state law

human cruelty, aud Sh,ro 10 No~roely q

punished outrages, inflicted upon poor
dumb brutes, by those who hold them at
their mercy. That not only is the heart
wrung with pity, and the brain fired with
righteous indignation, but one is led to
inquire if in coming from Massachusetts,
to Vermont, the civilization of the
nineteenth century, in one respect, has
not been left, for the barbsrism of the
dark ages.
A few days ago, while Walking on the
outskirts of Fairhaven, my attention was
attracted to a passing horse, which was
harnessed in buggy, and which kept
turning its head continuously to one side.
The stupid man who was driving, not
seeing the cause, began to whip the poor
brute, numerically. The horse then
baked and refused to go. As rapidly as
possible, I went forward to point out to
the man the cause of the difficulty, which
ought to have been apparent to the most
ordinary intelligence. The reins had
caught in a buckle at the side of the an
nimals head, and the strain being greater
on that side of the bit, the horse natural
ly kept turning in that direction. Before
could get near enough to make myself
heard, the driver got out, and after kick.
ing the poor brute several times in way
that must have injured it greatly, he
struck it over the head with the stock of
his whip, until the blood poured out OF
its nose and it staggered until thought
it would fall.
In response to my expostulations and
explanations, L received nothing but oaths.

man drove off, with horse that trust

no less needed in a community where
overdriving and many varieties of cruel

can bear testimony.
Now the question is, what are the rights
of citizens in this matter?

law, by the infection of such outrages
Your invariable defence of the righ

THE INDIAN RAID IN TExAs.-Gen-
eral Sherman writes from Fort Gill, In
dian Territory, under date May %, to the
Adjutant- General, an account OF the cap
ture of some of the Indians who headed
the recent raid into Texas in which seven
men were killed, corn train plundered
and forty.one mules stolen. On the 9th
of May, large party of Indians came to
Fort Gill for their usual rations, and San
tanta, one of their number, boasted in the
presence of the agent, Mr.. Tantum, and
an interpreter, that he had headed the
raid. He was taken before General Sher-
man at General Grierson's headquarters,
and made again in substance the same ad-
missions. At the request of the agent the
military authorities arrested Santanta
and two other Indians equally implicated,
named Satank and Big Tree, and they are
held in close confinement. They will be
taken back to Texas to be tried by the
civil authorities. General Sherman says
they begged to be shot on the spot, being
in fear of lynching. General Sherman
demanded of the Kiowas a return of the
forty. one mules, and while this was under
discussion Lone-Wolf melted disturb.
ance in which several shots were fired,
one Indian killed and the Indian camp
stampeded. In all these cases the wishes
Of the Indian agent of the post were the
rule of conduct for the military. General
Sherman is anxious that the three Indians
who are caught and who are notorious
characters, should be punished in some
way, and says no life will be safe from
Kansas to the Rio Grande if they are per
mitted to return to their tribe free. They
are in great dread of civil trials, even
greater, the general says, than of the
shorter verdict of the bullet.
