was. "It isn't him we're after but his Boss.
We're firing at Grant over his head" The ex-
pertinent proved disastrous failure, and the
editor in question was the greatest suffere
thereby. But that fatality does not deter the
survivors of his craft from pursuing the same
ends by tie same means.
However, President Grant never plays 10 the
pit nor does any thiug to catch the ears of the
sroundiings. There is no instance in his ca
reer where he has trimmed sail to attract a
passing breeze of popular appreciation. This
sturdy independence of character NAV have
been mistaken by superficial critics for ipdiff-
erence to public sentiment but it Is simply n
display of that superb quality of frmpess,
which, though it may sometimes lead him into
an act OF indiscretion, has, notwithstanding,
proved the key to his military and political sue
cesses A great deal is said about his making
this personal government To the extent OF
his exercising all the prerogatives of his Office,
ne has infused his personality into his admin
istratlon. But there has been nothing of will.
iulness or self-seeking in his methods of con-
Quoting affairs. His relations with his cousti.
tutlonal advisers have been, and are, pleasant
and cordial. There is no admixture of absolu-
tsm in his practice of authority. The self-re-
lance which is part of his nature is not al
loyed with egotism or conceit. But when he
has made up-his mind on question of policy
he adheres to his ptrpose, with infiexible ten
aety, and that line of conduct will result best In
the long Iun. YARNorrg

BY the treaty at Washington of 1872. certain

A BIT OF ROMANCE.-Burleigh, in letter to
the Boston Journal, furnishes this bit of ro-
nance:
Last summer we'll known and wealthy man
ufacturer of New England visited the White
Mountains. He became Infatuated with one of
the waiter girls He was seventy and the maid
was seventeen. He agreed to give her an edu
cation and adopt her, though he had several
daughters of his own. She joyfully accepted
the proposition, flung her white apron behind
the door and started on her new life. Of
course the;connection could not be very salts
factory to the family. The girl had vein of
shrewdness about her, and insisted that form
al paper of adoption should be drawn up This
was done, and the girl was sent to q well known
educational institution to receive little polish.
A correspondence was kept up between the
parties But to outsiders the matter was not
satisfactory, and the Principal refused to re-
ceive the young lady into the school after the
vacation was over. Soon after, the gentleman
became crazy and removed to lunatic asylum;
removed, as tue girl said, to get him. beyond
her reach. The remittance failed, and of
course there was trouble in the new school into
which the girl had entered On the passing
away of insanity, the infatuation of the old
man seemed to go with it. He tried to break
up the correspondence, without success, and
the family exerted all their influence to:Yecover
the fatal bond of adoption; but the girl held on
to it. She had, besides, bushel Of letters
breathing the most ardent affection. A pe-
cuniary negotiation was set on foot which at
first the maiden repudiated. She professed to-
be devotedly attached to the old man, and did
not want money. But it was discovered that
the document, as legal claim, was not worth
the paper it was written on. Then the young
lady came to terms, and the sum of $500
healed her broken heart and wrung from her
an obligation that she would trouble the old
man no more. She does not propose TO go in
search OF her apron.

A letter from the French Island of st. Pierre
Miquelon, off the southern coast Of Newfound
land, dated Nov. %, gives the particulars of a
recent wholesale murder Of white persons in
Labrador settlement by party OF Esquimaux
Indians. The write. says: "a terrible slaush-
ter Of human lives was perpetrated at the set.
tement of Indiau-tckle, Labrador, on the
night of the 10Th inst, two whole families with
the exception of young girl, being the vic
Tins. The names of the families are William
j. Morrison and his sons Thomas and Herbert
Robert Morrison and wife and their sons Will
liam, Charles and James. Their daughter
Lizzie was the only Que who has survived the
catastrophe 1t seems that latterly gangs of
Esquimaux Indians have been committing rob-
berries at the huts and stores of those W ho held
large stocks of goods, and that after the cap
ture of several of the Indians, the were publicly
chastised by whipping" To avenge them

During the first nine months of 1878 Nova

1t might be well for the agents aud owners
of the Anchor, Allan, and other steamship
lines to consider upon what terms they could
meet the Government proposition for affordiuc
additional postal and trading facilities between
Canada and the rich West Indian ports. Mon.
treal, Quebec and Halifax, should be the points
touched at in one route; st. John and either
Portland or New York (if taking in the latter
would lessen the expense) should be another
route. This would be q good route in both
summer and winter. OF course the ports OF
Montreal and Quebec would be closed in VIM
ter. Whether the trips should be monthly or
bi-monthly should depend on circumstances. IL
might be arranged that the steamers leayingSt.

geographical situation of the Islands might re-

Now, l never saw Mr.. Shepherd in my life,
Observing the sources whence the accusation
against him proceeded, ,and that they were gen.
orally vague and uncorroLoratej, have en-
deavored to possess myself of more reliable in-
formation concerning his character than was
obtainable from the current gossip of the hour.
The result of my inquiries has been TO beget
serious distrust Of the accuracy of the state
ments which have been made aspersing his good
name. Remembering how many unjust impu-
tations have been cast upon worthy men, and
how many excellent regulations have been
bemshed or ruined by cruel culumnies, have
felt how important it was to refrain from ac-
cepting derogatory rumors, that were not sup
ported by substantial facts. There will often
be found an underlying motive TO account for
attacks upon public men. which goes far to ex-
plain their origin
Unouestionably the animus of the concen-
trated assault upon Shepherd was desire to
reflect upon the President. Three years ago
when an opposition print undertook to break
down leading federali official, by a series of
manufactured and utterly fabulous ayerments
respecting him, the edtor-in-chief was ap-
pealed to not to permit his journal to become q
