An Irish journal tells Us that new
feature in boycotting has been introduced
at Mallow. in Cork county. young
lady was to have been married to young
gentleman in the ncighborhood who had
come under the ban Of the Land League.
and the night before the marriage was to
take place the bride-elect had deputa-
ton sent to her from the local Land
League, warning her that she and all her
relatives would be boycotted if she be
slowed her hand on the young gentleman
of her choice. The match. therefore, had
to be broken of, or at least postponed.
Our esteemed contemporary. The New
Are. is not vet convinced that Mr..
Blaine's letter to President Garfield was
not in bad taste. 1t inquiries OF us what
we would think of Mr.. Conkling if
he should write letter of similar charac-
ter to President Arthur. All things being
equal we should say it would be very
meritorious act in Mr. Conkling-a much
better one than any we have known him to
do recently. And then our esteemed con-
temporary quotes an unfavorable opinion
of the letter from one of those journals
that are always finding fault with Mr..
Blaine no matter how deserving he may
be of the good opinion Of his countrymen,
and presents this to its readers to preju-
dice them against Mr.. Blaine's letter.
When such newspapers as the Argus and
the Hour are the only support that the
New Age has in its position against Mr..
Blaine's letter. it ought to be convinced
by that fact alone that il is on the wrong
side of this matter.

Cabinet RumOrs.

1t is understood that Mr.. James will con-
tinue in Office only ntil December.
Secretary Blaine will not probably remain
in the Cabinet alters the 1st of December.
If he remains beyond that time. it will be in
compliance with the Presidents wish that he
continues in office until his successor is
selected.
Windom's Admission TO the Senate.
1t is understood that an attempt will be
made in the Senate today to administer the
oath of office to VIM. Window as Senator
from the State of Minnesota. 1t is expected
that the motion to that effect will meet with
opposition from the democratic side, mas
much as WINDOWS credentials as Senator
have not yet been received. In the event of
such course being attempted. the republi-
cans will maintain that unless Window is
sworn. there can be no valid objection ad-
vanced to Edgerton's retaining his seat until
the oath of Office is duly administered to his
successor, as the evidence of the expiration
Of Edgerton's term of office has not been
officially communicated to the Senate.
Secretary Window has been summoned to

seat if the resolution is passed

of the court and that accounts. for their ex-
penses, must be allowed bv the accounting

The Barefooted Of New Jersey
from the Essex County Press.

FROM the Essex county 1feSS.J
In violation of the customs of Bloom
field society. my children go barefooted
all through the summer and early au-
tumn. Probably | should not want
them to go without shoes and stockings
for lack of money to buy them, but it |
owned all the railroad stock of Jay
Gould and Vanderbilt combined they
would go barefooted just the same and
possibly, in that case, they would not
be the only ones in the family to avail
themselves OF that health giving priE-
elege. / believe firmly that. their
health is greatly augmented by this
practice.
If they wear shoes and stockings they
must stay in the house all through
these beautiful, long dewy mornings,
or go with wet shoes and stockings, OF
else wear rubber overshoes that confine
the perspiration from the soles of the
feet, which in summer Is very profpse.
Either of these alternatives, one can
see by moments thought must be
very hurtfnl.
"Why not for grown people then 7"
Sure enough, why not
/ have heard great many old women
say: "When was young and lived on
the farm we didn't think of wearing
Stockings every day, and it wasn't un-
common for us to go barefooted.'
/ believe that men, women, and chill
dren. through warm weather, wear a
GREAT amount of unnecessary clothing
over tho whole body, which is positiver
ly debilltatlng.
