Term Committee will publish Q call
tomorrow setting forth that profound
interest is felt in the approaching Prcsi.
Dental election. and alarm il felt at the
purpose Of some friends to commit the
Republican party to the dangerous third
term policy. The address refers to the
example Of Washington and the %iujunc.
ton Of jefferson, and approves the res.
olutions Of the State Conventions OF
New York. Pennsylvania and Ohio in
1875. and all Of which opposed u third
term and similar action Of Congress in
December. 1876. The nomination Of
Grant would be made only in total dis
regard OF the principles OF the Republic
can party. To avert danger to the sue
cess OF the party. this call is issued for
q mass convention at st. Louis May 6,
to perfect . thorough organization for
the expression Of the will OF the people
against the principle Of Q third Presi.
Dental term, with . view to constitu-
tional amendment limiting the Prssiden-

thy with the movement are invited.

Probable Withdrawal or Grant
From Presidential Candidacy.

CHICAGO, March 26.-Ths Daily Netcs,
q Grant organ. has q special from Wash
ipgton which says: The Inducements
Of public events have wonderfully
changed public opinion here within a
week AZ to the candidacy Of General
Grant. and that whilo his friends
openly talk OF his nomination rs certain,
they speak Of 1t in private a. not likely
to occur. for several reasons. which may
be summed up a. follows: General
Grant has said repeatedly that he will
not consent to become 4 candidate unless
the nomination be rendered to him as an
expression OF the unanimous wishes OF
his party; that there must DO no fight,
no party Discussions, no rupture OF par
tisan ties. NO widespread antagonism.
He has kept silent beyond this; but
returning from Mexico after weeks OF
absence hs finds himself bitterly opposed
by factions led by prominent Republi.
can politicians. and he Is startled with
the discovery OF IN antipathy against
nim % bh0ub . W toouo fsSsss,
against his candidacy in the form OF an
anti.third term party, in which are
engaged not only Democrats. but many
Republican leaders. He 10 also made
aware that q large number Of nswspa.
psrs Of his party are against him, and 1t
10 stated that be has notified his friends
that he will not. for these reasons, be q
candidate. and will shortly convey this
decision to the public.

says o dispatch was received in this city
last evening from Washington stating
that positive information had been

The Keeping Of Scrap Books.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free PreH.
OF the keeping OF scrap books there
is no end. Nearly everybody keeps or
has kept Q scrap book. Strange a. II
may appear. there are some merits about
scrap book keeping. It 10 not utterly
silly like keeping o diary or an album OF
the autographs Of Congrsssmsn and
other worthless. A scrap book contains
what some other party has thought good
enough to print, and 20 the chances are
much in favor Of the scrap books OF .
given number OF men being not quite 30
dull as the diaries Of those same men.
II, therefore. scrap books must be kept,
and they undoubtedly will be until the
end Of time and newspapers, II 10 de-
sirable to keep them in the best possible
way. Az q general thing scrap books are
q mass OF information and amusement,
where everything Is so arranged that the
owner can never find what he wants.
A literary gentleman In this city sug.
gests that the best way TO keep q good
scrap book 10 not to kesp 1t. His plan
is to have no scrap book, but on cutting
out q newspaper article on any particular
subject. he folds II up and places II In
any book he may happen to have on
that particular subject. For instance. .
scrap about the Crimss might DO put
into Kinglaks's "History Of the Crimsan
War; an article on hogs In the History
OF Chicago or in volume Of "Bscon's
Essays" and thus Q man could make Q
scrap book Of his whole library.

Tho Meaning Of Boom"
Toronto Globe.

Everybody, It seems, has been misin,
formed "a to the origin Of the boom
OF the term We mean, not OF the boom
itself, which everybody know owes its
origin. along with the ''hun." to the N.
p. Boom" has commonly been sup.
posed to be derived. not from the
blooming Of the bittsrn," but from the
booming noise made by . river In flood.
1t seems that there Is . much more
plausible explanation than this. Miners
In the Far West have q practice Of con.
Quoting explorations BY . means which
they call blooming" It consists In
dammiug up some gorge on q mountain
side and allowing the water from the
melting snow to accumulate till an i'm.
mense reservoir has been formed. When
the pond 10 full an outlet 10 made. and
the water rushes down with irresistible
force, overwhelming everything On ita
path. Rocks, trees and boulders are
hustled along. the top soil 10 carried
away and huge ravines are cut in the
mountain sides. Sometimes gulliss
ssventy.ivs and Q hundred feet wide are
formed. extending to the foot OF the
mountain. Rich veins and deposits OF
ore are often uncovered by this process.
and the word blooming" describing IL 10
seen to have some real significance. II
10 singular that the word "boomsr" II
used among the native Australians to
signify anything great or wonderful. A
large animal OF any kind 10 called q
''boomsr." though more frequently the
word is used by the settlers to indicate
the male kangaroo. The term 10 seen
again in boomerang and many other
native words.
