THE LAST INFAMY.

HOW AN INNOCENT MAN MEETS A
INDUSTRIOUS CALUMNY.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 14.-On the Sth
inst, the Sentinel of this city contained an
editorial making scandalous charges against
Mr. Blaine. Today Mr.. Blaine sent the follow
ing despatch to Col. Halloway:
BAR HARBoR, Aug. IA
Col. w. r. HaHoaody:
have this moment received the atrocious
libel of the Indianapolis Sentinel. 1t is utter
ly and abominably false in every statement
and every implication. Political ISLANDERS I
do not stop to notice, but this editor assails the
honor of my wife and my children. desire
you without an hours de,ay to employ proper
attorney and have the responsible publisher of
the Sentinel sued for libel in the United States
District Court of Indiana. It is my only rem
edy. 1 am sure that honorable Democrats
alike with honorable Republicans will justify
me in defending the honor of my family, if
need be with my life.
(Signed) JAMES G. BLAINE.
Col. Halloway has placed the matter in the
hands of Senator Harrison's law firm, and the
papers are now in course of preparation in ac-
cerdance with Mr.. Blaine's directions.
LATER.
Messrs. Harrison, Miller and Elane, attor-
neys, this evening filed a complaint in the
United States Circuit Court against the
Sentinel Company and John q. Shoemaker,
president thereof, demanding $4,000. 1t is
understood that tomorrow proceedings will be
begun against Shoemaker and the author of
the article under the Grubbs libel law in the
State courts. This will compel Mr.. Blaine's
attendance as witness. The attorneys say
this suit and criminal proceedings will be
pushed with all possible dispatch.

The Land of Evangeline.

Some enterprising Yankees have just es-
Desert railway and Annapolis, N. S,
steamboat line which promises to develop
greatly the vast resources of the peninsnlar
province, and establish profitable trade
between it and the United States. The
steamboat line connects with the Windsor
and Annapolis railway, which ruhs across
the peninsula, trayersing its most fertile
parts to Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia,
thus completing direct line from Bangor.
There is a widespread notion that Nova SEQ
ia is barren sort of place and continually
enveloped IN fogs. There is, to be sure, a
great deal of fog in the bay of Fundy, along
the northern shore of the peninsula, but
high ranges of hills protect the inland plains
and valleys from the colo sea mists and
storms, so that there is really a different eli
mate in these parts than on the shores.
This province is bound to be an object of in
terest to American business men and pleas
ure-seekers, now that easy and direct COM
munication from Bangor, with only short
sea trip, is provided.
To-day Nova Scotia has not a very large
population, but the people live comfortably
by farming, fishing and mining. The val
leys are all fertile and produce vast quanti-
ties of fruit, principally apples. In the An
napolis valley there is continuous stretch
of apple trees for 60 miles along either side
of the railroad track, just now all white
with blossoms. There are also valleys
thickly covered with cherry trees, which
often grow to be over foot in diameter,
and are very fruitful. Every year the Nova
Scotans send 275,000 barrels of apples to
Trn md rnOfV 20 IT..sA \
States. The price is ordinarily not more
than one-half or two-thirds as much as that
of good fruit in Maine.
Just beyond the apple region of Annapolis
lies the country made famous by the poem
of ''Evangeline." The nearest settlement to
the site of Grand Pre- is Horton, but the
train pulls up opposite clump of sad-look-
ing willow trees, standing in an inclosure
near the track, and here the conductor
shouts "Grand Pre-" Here an old Acadian
pump remains, and stumps of willows grow
upon slight hollows that were once the Gel
lars of the Acadian cottages. There are
barely discernible traces in the field on the

The annual meeting of the St. Johnsbury
and Lake Champlain Railroad was held
Wednesday. The following directors were
elected: Horace Fairbanks, franklin Fair
banks, A. b. Harris. George W, Hendee,
Thomas Coggeshall, A. B. Jewett, Bradley
Barlow, Ell. E. Folsom, W. III. Fairbanks. AT
subsequent meeting of the directors A. b.
Harris of Springfield, Mass, was elected
president, Franklin Fairbanks vice president,
w. FL. Fairbanks secretary and treasurer, A.
b. Harris, A. B. Jewett, Horace Fairbanks
executive committee. A resolution of thanks
was passed by the board recognizing the long
and faithful services of Governor Fairbanks,
who was president of the road since it was or
ganized. During the past year $500 tons of
steel rails have been laid, making nearly one
half the road now laid with steel. The re-
malnder has been put in good condition
throughout, so expenses will be materially les
sened hereafter. The earnings of the road
show large and steady advance, having in
creased over 100000 since 1880 and over $20,-
600 the past year. Mr.. Harris, who is presi-
dent of Ashuelot, the Vermont Valley and
Sullivan County Railroads, enters upon his
duty with fatteriDg prospects. He is also ac-
lively connected with the Connecticut River
Railroad.
Railroad Case Decided.
In the Uniled States Circuit Court Wednes-
day judges Gray and Nelson decided, in the
suits of the Lake Champlain and Ogdensburg
Railroad vs. the Boston and Lowell, Nashua
and Lowell, Vermont Central and Northern
New Hampshire roads, that unless the defend
ants desire to recommit the case to a master on
the question OF profits, the bills in equity are
to be dismissed, and the plaintiff to have the
right to appeal. These were suits to recover
some $780, under contract made on Feb
ruory "A, 1871, by the plaintiff with defendant
roads, the Northern Transportation Company,
and J. Gregory Smith and George Stark as
trustees, whereby the defendant roads were to
advance or loan out of the gross receipts sum
not to exceed $150,000 semi-annnally for the
purpose of owning, controlling and developing
traffic from the West by boats to Ogdensburg.
and from thence over the defendant roads to
Boston. The plaintiff road advanced $500 goo
to buy steamers, and sought to be reimbursed
BY these suits for violation of the contract by
the defendants. In 1874 the Northern Trans
portation Company failed, and was placed in
the hands of a receiver. The opinion was SUBJ
stantially the same as one given some years
ago by the late Justice Clifford and Judge
