Newspaper Defamation.

President Grant, in the course of
q recent conversation with a news
paper correspondent in regard to
the Indian peace policy, spoke with
just severity of the atrocious as
saults which have been made by
many of the journals opposed to
that policy upon the reputation of
Rev. E. p. Smith, Chief : Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs. Mr.. Smith
was named for Commissioner by
the American Missionary Associa-
ton, as a man peculiarly fitted, by
practical good sense, great execu-
tive ability, and by a life of labori-
GUS devotion to the spiritual and
temporal welfare of others, to as
sist in carrying out the humane
policy adopted toward the Indians.
His qualifications for the work were
SO marked that he was soon APP
pointed Chief Commissioner.
But the appointment of man to
that position who was not only hon
est but capable, was the last thing
desired by the horde of greedy
spoilsmen who were making for-
tunes by plundering the Indians,
and by the enormously expensive
wars which their robberies fomen
ted. The moment the character of
the new officer was. learned, the
enemies of the peace policy opened
upon him. A systematic course of
detraction WAS begun, intended to
destroy his good name, and thro'
that means to break. down the poll
icy he Unsupported 10 enforce. and
of which he was one of the ablest
representatives. :. Mr.. Smith was
made the mark of every form of
personal abuse which greedy malice
could invent. He was held up to
public scorn as man utterly un-
worthy of trust, reverend swim
dler" and a ''philanthropic scoun-
drel- Charges of corruption were
fresh made against him Journals
opposed to the Administration seiz
ed upon these with avitity to show
'.the failure of the peace policy"
Mr.. Smith bore this pitiless storm
of calumny with the calm dignity
of Christian gentleman, only ask
ing that a court of inquiry should
be appointed to examine into. the
charges made against him: But
the less robust spirit of his wife,
writhing under the undeserved re-
proaehes heaped upon her husband,
finally gave way, and she is now an
inmate of an asylum for the insane.
In accordance with the Commits
sioners request, a court of inquiry
was ordered, and the investigation
resulted in his complete vindication
from every charge brought against
him And yet, said the President,
when referring to these facts, not
one of the journals which have
permitted themselves to be used as
the vehicles of this outrageous per
secution of worthy and efficient
public officer, has had the grace to
retract its false charges, or even to
his acquittal--Chronicle

A Picture OF Ancient Greece.

The London News, speaking of
Dr. Schliemann's alleged discovery
of ancient Troy, INDUCES in this
pleasing bit of word painting:
"High up in the northeast corner
of the Levant, where the rapid
Hellespont rolls southwark in ceas
less flood, lie the plains of the Tro
ad, the scene of the worlds grand
est epic. the Simois and Xanthus
still flow southwark to the sea; the
Hellespont still rushes by; the
shadow of Lemnos still falls at noon
upon the shores of NIitylene; the
rocky islet of Tenedos-where the
Greeks lay hid while the fatal horse
was dragged into HUNS citadel
still lifts it's hills girt with their
crown of gray green olive groves
out of the blue Egean; and Ida
Ida where Paris chose between the
three immortals-still towers to
ward the sky, peak leaping above
peak It is hard to look upon the
scene and not to believe in the
downright truth of the Homeric
tale-to picture the turretted walls,
and the Scean gates. and the lofty
citadel, and Priam's Palace with its
endless corridors and countless
chambers, and the naval camp of
the Achean host with its trench
and rampant, and the beach where
the 'vermeil proved ships lay in
long rows, and the huge mound
under which lies the great Achilles,
whom we knew Xerxes, before
he crossed the Hellespont with his
hosts, went up to the hill which
tradition even then identified as
the Pergamus of Priam, and sac
rificed. a thousand oxen to the Han
Athene- A century and half later
Alexander not only assembled the
holy hill, but hung up there his
own armor and took down u suit of
mail which local tradition cherished
as the panoply of Hector himself.
Centuries have since rolled by and
the ghost OF Demetrius of Scepsis
has shuddered at the sacriligious
infidelity of Wolff; but the divine
lay of Troy's fall still retains it's
hold upon mems hearts, and travel
Ter after traveller has wandered
along the Troad shores with rever-
ent step, and sought to identify
the site of Priam's city and to fix
the mound beneath which Troy's
ruins lie" Ef
The News, we may add, places
but little faith in DR.. Schlieniann' IS
deductions, and quotes Professor
Max Muller. who, viewing the uiad
as an imaginative poem rather than
an historical record, says that .'the
diggings at Troy will no more yield
the treasures once possessed by the
Homeric heroes than the armor of
Utter Pendragon will ever be
brought to light from the ruins of
Tintagel, or the imperial crown of
Friedrich Barbarossa from the
caves of the Kyffnauser." N

This was a case of assault on Mar

ken hold of her roughly and tried
to eject her from the pavement. Judge
Kibby, in his charge to the jury, said:
Every street is highway, but every
highway not street. If person or
persons make an unreasonable delay
on the highway. the owner Of the
premises before whom they stop, can
order such person or persons to re-
move, and if not obeyed may use such

ordering Mrs. V. to remove, the jury
fined him one dollar and costs.
