The announcement Of the accession to
the Irish peerage Of major the Hon.
Somerset II. MAXWELL under the title of
Baron Farnha1n, brings our memory back
to ancient history in the Irish land agita-
ton. 1t was this same, new.y-created
peer who led the expedition from the
North Of Ireland 10 the shores Of Tough
Mask. in the County of Mayo. to the relief
of Capt. Boycotts unharyested Oat fields
and potato patches, when new name
was found for the old political weapon,
and new word WAS permanently added
to the English language. Capt. Boycott's
maine will go down from generation to
generation embalmed in the dictionary,
when the neWly-created peer who led the
rescue party shall have been forgotten.
His elevation to the peerage was brought
about by the death of his uncle, Baro
at Melvern, at the age Of eigh-
ty-three years. The peerage is an; Irish
one, and was created in 1856. The de-
ceased, James Pierce Maxwell, was the
ninth baron. .x

Jameson, M. P, and Mr.. P! O'Brien, VI. r.
Mr. William O'Brien said that. England
was greatly incensed against the Sultan
FOR the Armenian atrocities; but what
were they compared with the malignity Of
England toward Gallagher and White
head, which made both men lunatics? 1t
would be less brutal to plunge knife
into the hearts of political prisoners than
compel them to endure Ii years inhu-
man torture. - 49,.
