The savings banks of New Hampshire,
with aggregate deposits of $42, 091, 500,
have over $1O,OOO;OOO loaned to farm
ers at the west and secured by mort
cages. These investments are scattered
through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota and
Dakota, and are in addition to loans on
city property in Chicago, st. Louis,
Minneapolis and st. Paul. The average
rate of interest on the farm mortgages
's 81 per cent; the depositors at home
receive 4 and Al per cent. The New
Hampshire Bank Commissioners, hav-
ing examined these western investments
carefully. report that they are amply
secured, that the interest is invariably
paid when due, and that they have been
unable to discover any loss whatever to
the investing banks on account of their
principal or interest. Nevertheless,
the most conservative financiers question
the wisdom of locking up SO great pro-
portion of the assets of the New Hamp-
shire banks 80 far from home, when the
recovery of the money must depend in
some measure on the uncertain contin-
gency Of crop successes. Hence the
commissioners have cautioned the in
situations under their charge against

Two or three years ago one of the
most unpopular men in Ireland was
Captain Boycott, whose name has be-
some familiar as q synonym for the
kind of persecution to which he was
subjected. But the captain lived
through it, and now, instead of being
b Jed, he has become favorite with
the national leaguers in his neighbour
hood, and they have made him their
candidate for parliament to represent
the county Mayo. He is said to be
growing in favor every day. The
change is not SO wonderful as it ap-
pears, for Captain Boycott, though a
positive man who does nothing to
court popularity, is generous as we'll as
just, and has managed his property on
principles not substantially unlike
those of the league.
