The Letter-Carrier Cities.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July A.
The Postmaster General has issued an
order dividing all the free-dellvery ci-
ties the United States into two classes,
with view to complete classification
of the letter-carriers in accordance with
the requirements of the law of last
February The first ..class consists of
the following cities, each having pop
ulation of $4,000 or upwards. iviz.:
Albany, Baltimore, Boston, Broo' syn,
Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Detroit, Indianapolis, Jersey City.
Louisville, Milwaukee, Newark, New
York, New Orleans, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Providence, Rochester, St.
Louis, San Francisco and Washington.
All other cities where the free-deliv-
cry system is now in operation, sixty
five in number, are placed in the Sc
cond class, which will be added to from
time to time, under the provisions
of the new law authorizing the
establishment of free delivery in every
city or town where the population
amounts to 10000 people, or the gross
postal revenues to $4,000.
Accompanying to-day's order of
classification, another was issued by the
Postmaster General fixing the pay of
all letter carriers in the second class
cities for tie present fiscal year at $3.50
per anuum excluding auxiliary and
subordinate carriers) until changed by
special rders. The back pay of let
ter carriers in these cities is left for
adjustment hereafter.
The new law provides that carriers
in the frst-class cities shall be divided
into two grades, with salaries of ST 900
and $500 respectively, The depart
ment, will, in the course OF the next
ten days, issue instructions to all Post
masters in frst-class cities, requir-
ing them to designate which should
be assigned to the first grade and
which to the second; the designations
to be made in each case according to
merit. It will be useless for persons
interested to write to the department,
as the assignments, though subject to
formal approval by the Washington au-
thorities, will practically be made by
the local Postmasters.

Irish Girls of the::PeriOd.

In Dublin, young lady Is educat-
ed for music or matrimony-or both.
She is perpetual piano player or a
constant husband seeker. There are
no longer the "Baby Blakes" or the
Lady Gay Spankers" of yore, her fol-
lies as to field sports are no more.
The Irish girl of the period abbors de-
clamation about "woman's rights" !"
She generally talks-iu a Plat
onic way. She is much more
Irish than the men, twice as wit
ty and ten time as intriguing. These
girls have an indescribablc way of cap
turing you (mentally at least before
ypu know where you are, fDe-looking
rather than pretty ,and are commanding
raaher than coquettes, yet they have
their share Of all that ubiquitioos fami-
ly. In point Of education they are
more glittering than the English girls
and more solid than the American
They dress too much-an excess of fal.
lals. Frills and lace, bog oak and rib
bons abound about these girls, and
their merry laughter and soft-solder
dash of "gramma chree ma cushla"
serve to make them intensely interest
ing, even at the respectful distance
they invariably keep you. This type
of the Irish girl, with her rosy aud
white complication, her large blue eyes
and auburn hair, in her eighteenth
year is more of child than an Amer
lean girl of 13.
The Irish girl of the period has one
bright star ever before her in the
heavens of her hopes-a husband
with title. She would rather be
poor Lady Splurge than parvenu Mrs
Shady. Yet she is the most loving
aud devoted Of wives-when properly
welded The Irish girl loves to make
a noise in the world-has grand pas
sion of dash. She will leap social
FIVE bar gates and double stone walls
to get the right man, while she would
prefer to be an old maid rather than
be an old moping maid rather than be
chained to the wrong one. She dlsllkes
a tame man, aud can control wild
one. In the courage of her opinions
she excels both as to quality and guam
tity. She would rather rule in GER
tain dreadful place below than serve iG
better one above-Baltimore Sun.

No Union Man need Apply.

We have just read a speech made
recently b. the Hon. Walter Evans,
Republican candidate for Governor in
Kentucky, In which he comments on
the personnel of the Democratic ticket
in that State. There were only about
$4,000 men in the Confederate army
from Kentucky, against 10000, in the
Union army. There are large num-
ber Of ex-Federal soldiers there who
have voted and acted With the Demo-
cratic party But there is not single
man on the Democratic ticket who was
not participant in the rebellion or an
earnest and avowed sympathizer with
the lost cause. Before the Democra-
tic State Convention, no man could win
unless he had loved the Confederate
flag, aud given his energies and SYM
pathies for the overthrow of the Fede-
raj Government. 1t cannot be posi-
BILE that there are no Union men there
now in the Democratic party, capable
Of filling the Offices. Both of the Un-
tied States Senators from that State
were sympathizers with the rebellion,
and one of them fought in the last
ditch. A majority of her Representa-
tives were Confederates or Confederate
sympathizers.
And it is so in other States. There
was large Union element in Tennes-
see, but since the Democrats came
into power no man has been elected
Governor who did not serve in the
Confederate army. With single ex-
ception; all the Democratic Represer-
tatives in Congress are ex-Confederates.
Our Senators were both actively engag-
ed in the rebellion. Every member Of
the Supreme bench was Confederate,
with. possibly, one exception. All
the executive officers in the State are
ex-Confcde1ates. And so it is in other
States.
If it had not been so uniformly true
in all the Southern States that Union
men in the Democratic party were kept
out of positions of honor and trust, it
might be regarded as accidental, butt
is the rule, and if any Union man gets
a nomination for Office in the South, it
is rare exception. If the Union men
in the Democratic ranks do not COM
plain at these things We do not know
that we have any right to, but We men,
tion it as fact, and as public journal
ist We have right to speak of it. Ex-
Confederates have a perfect right to
bold the Offices it they can get them,
but they ought not to prescribe others
because they took the other side. They
ought not to be clannish. .-Kno1ville
