kind heart, full of sympathy, finding

A Reaction Against the Boycott.

The popular reaction against the
unlawful and tyrannical methods
adopted by some of the trades-unions,
which has Enthusiastically set in, has
shown itself very distinctly in the
case of Mrs. Gray, of New York city,
the little woman whose modest bakery
has been placed under boyC oft, be-
cause she refused to compel her work
men to join the Bakers Union, when
they were satisfied with their places
and wages, and did not wish to join
any union. The Bakers Union has
done its best to drive and keep away
her customers from her shop, but she
has gained many more than she has
lost. She has had over a thousand
dollars sent her by different persons
in the sums of $50 and S25, with di-
rections to send bread to that amount
to hospitals and charitable institutions.
The New York papers are giving her
plenty of free advertising. Persons
from all parts of the country visiting
New York, go out of their way to
load themselves with the products of
her oven, and hand her bills of large
denominations, for which they refuse
to accept change. The plucky little
woman has about all she can do, what
with baking, receiving assurances of
sympathy and support, and running
to the bank with fresh contributions
to her fund. She is already obliged
to employ extra INSTRUMENTATION, of
course-and all the men are working
over time and getting additional pay
for it. Meanwhile Mrs. Gray's friends
have taken her case before the courts
and the grand jury to see if some le-
gal protection cannot be secured for
her against the existing conspiracy to
injure her business. Four members
of The Bakers Union, who have been
actively engaged in the boycott, were
arrested on Thursday, on a complaint
of conspiracy, and the grand jury of
the court Of general sessions took up
the matter of the boycott against her
bakery. The law CONSTITUTES the of
fence as misdemeanor, and the pen
atty attached is year in the peniten-
tiary or a fine of $500, or both, and
as public sympathy is strongly on the
side of the woman, it is not unlikely
that the boycotters may get a useful
lessons; and would-be boycotters all
over the country receive a wholesome
warning.

SENATOR MORRILL's BIRTHDAY.-Sen-
atOr Morrill, of Vermont celebrated his
10Th birthday last Wednesday evening by
giving the annual party at which all his
friends delight to be in attendance.
There is no man now in public life more
esteemed than the senior Senator from
Vermont, and his birthday parties are
always delightful. The floral gifts in the
Senator's parlors were magnificent. The
Presidents basket, with the word con
gratulatiOnS" on his card, was the finest
of all. Next to this in beauty was the
basket of roses from Secretary and Mrs.
Whitney. A great many kilograms and
letters were received. Among those who
used the wire were Mr. Blaine and his
guest, William Walter Phelps. Nearly
all the Senators were present with their
wives, and many Vermont friends
Among the guests were Gen. Edward
Ripley, Gen. Hazen and Miss Kate Field.
Most of the justices of the Supreme
Court were there, and many members of
Congress. -BostOn Herald.
