ish falsehOOds Does it not crafty the liar
to find his fabrications treated seriously Ana
then the fellow can invent two new caluBnles
while you are refutng an old one. On the
whole, we think most men must have better
business than such refutation.


Here is a specimen, which some poor silly
coward, concealing his name, really thihks we
ought to treat with gravity:

From beginning to end of this farrago,
there is not fragment scintilla OF truth.
No trout was reeled in, or part way in; for no
reel was used-nO trout got anywhere was
no swearing nor thought of it-no boatman
made any such protest-nO deer was hunted
or soucbt-no gun was handled OF touched
no one suggested any planting of strawberries
in short, each assertion copied above from
The Boston Post is a distinct, particular lie,
without a shadow of foundation or excuse, as
at least half dozen responsible men VIII
cheerfully testify. And the author OF this
tissue of fasehOOds makes business OF IN
venting such, for which he finds ready mar
ket in The Boston Post.


Here is one more of the same sort from The
Newark Courier, speaking of the arrest q the
Editor of this journal in Paris QS55) on
claim for damage suffered at our old Crystal
Palace:


"Sfr Greeley accepted the emergency with imperturb
able sang trod He endured his confinement like hero

pie from breaking in But he never forgave the indig
ny saddling the responsibility Of the same upon the

its estimation, the former has been the most graceess
and depraved OF usupers the latter the sum OF all frog
eating viainies And all because Horace Greeley was
locked up in Cchy, at the instgation OF an irrated
French SCULPTOR


The most unmeasured denunciations of
Louis Napoleon BOnaparte that ever appeared
in THE TRIBUNE had been published directly
after his perfdious coup d et0t-years prior to
the Editors Imprisonment in Clichy, whereof
said Bonaparte knew nothing whatever, and
for which he was never blamed by any person
of decent intelligence-as we have said at least
hundred times in reply to inquiries. There
was never a shadow of excuse for The Courier'S
villainOus fabrication.


And now, reader if you patronize and de-
light in journals that habitually originate or
copy such slanderOus trash as is quoted above,
are you any better than the hbelersi Would
they publish such stuff if they did not find it
proftabe7 And do not you make it protita-
