Gov. Foster, of Ohio, has been lnduc-
ed by "ths wishes OF many leading
republicans, among those who hold
high positions in the expressed conf
dence and esteem OF the republican
party to get out of the way of MIR.
Sherman in the senatorial contest. In
other words, it would never do fol-
Ohio to &c back on the financial policy
Of the whole party by sitting down on
the secretary of the treasury. Charley
Foster seems to think it would have
been done, though, ii the question bad
been put to the test, as he SAID on the
day of his withdrawal, "Ay chances
for senator have never looked SC
bright as they have during the last
few days" 1t all means that Mr.. Gar
field and other leading republicans
have promised Mr.. Foster some other
sugar plum.
Hon. Aylett II. Bucknsr, Of this state.
chairman OF the committee on banking
in the house of representatives, has intro
duced a substitute for Mr.. Woods fund
ing bill. 1t authorizes the secretary OF
the treasury to issue treasury notes to
the amount OF 5000. 600. 900, OF dsnomi-
nations not less than Sic. bearing not
exceeding 4 per cent. interest, OF which
not more than $50, 0OO, 600 shall mature
each year from the date of their issue,
said notes to be disposed Of by the Sec
rotary at not less than par, the proceeds
to be applied to the payment of the 8
and 6 per CEN bonds OF the United
States maturing in 1881 also that the
sum OF 500, 600, 900 Of coin OF the treas
ury, set apart for the redemption of L.
gal tender notes, and any surplus Of
coin over the above sum in the treasury
shall be used In the purchase OIL 6 per
cent bonds maturing in 1881.
The term 'Boycotting" now used
in Ireland originated In this way. One
Capt. c. C.. Boycott, agent OF Lore
Erne's Tough Mask estate, made him
self very obnoxious to the tenants ant
surrounding people by his rough man
ner and harsh measures. Not desiring
to commit violence upon him, but de
termined to make him feel their wrath
the people of the vicinity simply deter
mined to have nothing whatever to d.
with him. This may net seem to b.
severe treatment. yet it has conquered
and driven away the most ebdurate
and has made of Boycett's name th'
most terrible verb know in the language
Miss Alcott in her ''LittleW Women" give
enc IN idea of the dependence whlcI
necessarily exists between people close
ly brought together. when she cause
her heroines for n day to depend alb
solutely on themselves. Maybe tn
people over there got the idea iron
her. Who knows? Everybody ha
read "Little Women" However tina
may be. When captain bcycott won
from store to store and none would sci
to him when the blacksmith refused t.
take his money for sheeing a horse
when the butcher and baker would no
part with their goods to him when tn
miller rejected his efforts to purchas
flour; and when no man, woman o
child would buy of him one cents wort
of his produce, the swearing, swagger
ing. abusive agent succumbed. H

Orangemen guarded by troops. VIII

everywhere he went, he was an outcas
worse than a leper, more desolate tina
Crusoe on his island. His crop gathered

Ills hands and fed-he was Boycettsd
