229 Agricultural Implements, &c.—“ Captain Boycott

His servants and labourers were ordered to leave him,
shopkeepers were forbidden to deal with him, his cattle and
crops were doomed to perish of neglect. An expedition for
his ‘ relief ’ was organised among the tenant farmers of
Ulster. The Government became seriously alarmed at the
prospect of a collision between the relief party and the
peasantry. An ‘ army ’ of nearly 1000 men, with cavalry,

Ireland were refusing to pay more rent than what had
formerly been fixed by and was known as “ Griffith’s
Valuation.”
243 Preaching and Practice.—“ The elder and the younger
Member for Birmingham,” i. e., Mr. Bright and Mr.
Chamberlain, had been addressing their constituents on
the Irish “ difficulty,” and laying stress upon the doctrine
that “ force is no remedy.”
[July to December, 1880.

Longmans, &c. j lication (by Longman and Co.) 264
of Lord BeACONSFIELd’s novel, Endymion. Scaramouch, a
periodical introduced in the novel under this name, was be-
lieved to indicate Punch.
Credat Judaeus.—An Anti-Jewish movement was at this 262
time causing some excitement in Germany. Prince Bis-
marck was alleged to be in sympathy with it; but this was
denied.

chen, it will be remembered, was our special ambassador at
Constantinople. After the settlement of the Montenegrin
question (Dulcigno), he left Constantinople for a short
holiday in England.

time again and again in the daily accounts from Ueland.
