1t has been decided to have the headquarters
of the National Democratic Committee at New
York, and headquarters of the Congressional
Committee here Indications now point to the
selection of Senator Wallace as chairman of the
National Committee. Ex-senator Barnum has ne

Why She orsewhipped Him.

The confidence of a young woman
in love is something that ought to be
treated with great tenderness. A
wicked young man of Bethlehem,
Pa, evidently didn't understand
this, Or he had no concern about it,
for he did most shameful thing the
other day. He borrowed dollar of
his girl, bought a couple of tickets
for the show with it and took another
girl. This outrageous conduct was
discovered while the entertainment
was in progress and naturally created
good deal of excitement in the mind
OF the young woman whose dollar had
gone to furnish an evenings diver
sion for another. She undertook to
get even by meeting the couple after
the show was over, and exerted her.
self as well as possible to give the
young man whipping On the side
walk. She succeeded so we'll she is
very confident he won't want to bor-
row any more OF her money TO take
other girls to shows. The moral Of
this is that impecunious young men
who must take their girls out had
better try and raise the essential
funds at an impartial pawn-shop.

An eminent divine from New Eng
land, travelling in Texas for his health,
impaired by arduous clerical duties,
upon arriving at one of the towns
went in search of the barber's shop
for repairs and improvements. On
entering an establishment of this kind
he observed a big double-barrelled
gun leaning against the wall. Having
a constitutional awe of firearms, he
hastily asked the barber if the gun
was loaded. A half-shaved native
who occupied the chair turned round
his lather-beaten face and exclaimed: !:
stranger! ef you're in an ALFRED
hurry you'll find a six-shooter what is
loaded in my coat-tail pocket" This
recalls another story of An English

Geo a. Hepworth in New York Herald.
Let me give you sample of what
/ saw in many scores OF huts, and In
q few that are matched and of stone
and stand on the edge of a bog,
which affords them peat for fuel. They
contain three small rooms. One is
the room where the household lives.
Through small hole in Its roof the
kitchen smoke is forced to escape.
There is almost a peat famine this
year on account of the wet weather.
The only fuel consists ola bunch of
green twigs. Another room is for
the cow-if they are happy enough
to possess one, which 10 very rarely
the case. The COW is part of the
family, and always goes through the
front door. In the third room,
which is probably eight OR nine feet
square, the family sleep. They have
one bed, with two thin, worn-out /
blankets, and here four OF house
hold of nine must sleep, not length
wise but crosswise, covering them
selves as best they can. The rest
pile up small bundle of straw in
the corner and sleep On it. Pressed
by hunger, they have eaten all their
store of potatoes, and the only food
III the whole house is few pounds of
Indian meal, which they mix with
water and make into a "stirabout."
This is all they have, and all they
will have until the autumn. What
wonder then that they should be dis
heartened and discouraged? I have
asked again, what part of their wretch
edness is due to intemperance? l
am assured that it is caused solely by
the utter failure of the crops, and
with all this poverty the majority of
the Irish are cheerful. The people
are enduring the great stress of suff-
ering with pluck and courage which
are truly admirable. 1t is my hope
and prayer that the American people
will not feel that enough has been
done. Pinched as the Irish
are to-day, their condition is one of
happiness in comparison with that in
which they will find themselves in the
course of few weeks. From the
early part of April until the first crop
is reaped, that will be the season of
their real trouble, of their actual
struggle for existence.
