movements or ahe Irish Land Leagu.

= ~ ~ ~ h4AA lt-
At 4 meeting Of the land league in
Dublin on Wednesday Mr.. Davitt
brought forward an imposing plan for
a convention of delegates from every
branch Of the league in Ireland. lie
sketched the details of the plan, which
were that each branch Of 800 members
should send one delegate, and branches
of over that number, two. This con-
vention, he said, would be called to
show Mr.. Forster and England that
the local leaders of the organization
throughout Ireland were neither ruff
fans, blackguards nor scoundrels, and
TO show Mr.. Outrage Forster, the chief
slanderer of ireland, that the coercion
bill would not strike terror into the
ranks of the land league. To make a
national pronunciation against coercion
as well as against the Ireland manufac-
tured outrages, and to make known in
an emphatic manner the national de-
mands in regard to the land question.
1t was not necessary for the branches
to wait for the passing OF the bill, they
should proceed TO elect delegates at
once, and send them up to Dublin.
The moment the bill became n law there
could be but little doubt but that the
government would stop this convention,
either before the delegates came TO
Dublin or Immediately after their ar
rival there.
1t was stated at the meeting that
Father Lynch, of Massachusetts,, had
bought an estate in county Cayan
which the tenants would be willing to
purchase. Mr.. Dayitt said that they
should ask the branch of the league in
Massachusetts, to request this gentle
man to undo the injury, perhaps unin-
tentially done by him to the tenants, in
purchasing this property. The land
league issued n circular to the branches
calling on them to elect delegates.
There are between eight and nine hun
dred branches, which will return about
two thousand delegates to Dublin.

A WASHINGTON dispatch of Wednes-
day night says that "Allison has the
treasury in his hands, but does not
want it. He wants James +. Wilson
to enter the cabinet, and leave the sen.
atorial field clear. OF course Allison
will accept If Garfield insists. Garfield
will not appoint Wilson. The only way
out is to leave both out of the cabinet,
and take Senator Kirkwood for secreta-
ry of the interior-unless Allison will
take the treasury and Wilson go to the
senate.n AS soon as Messrs. Allison,
Wilson and Kirkwood get the cabinet
and senatorial !positions properly ar
ranged among themselves, they will
notify the legislature of the state of
Iowa, and have the matter formally
ratified so far rs the SCI. atorship is n
cerned.

about Bret Harte, which Mr.. Daboi:

In speaking of compliments one day,
Bret Harte said be would give the his,
tory of the greatest compliment which
be himself had w received since he
had attained any distinction as an
author. One time, when he had ocea-
sion TO take a trip from San Francisco
to Oregon, he reached the boat Just as
it was about to move off, and without
having made any previous application
for stateroom accommodation on board.
Fortunate, in being assured of his
destination at least, which it was nee
essary he should gain without deten-
ton, on a required day, be proceeded
Immediately to the ticket Office on the
boat and inquired of the agent there il
he could obtain a berth for the night.
The agent on this occasion was a rather
curt, gruff fellow, who made it his
special pride to give all information Il

in his position cal very well assume

rough answer, and the card was handed
back.
"Be you the mau AS writ The Luck

writer of that celebrated story.
Bret turned, and perceived a rough
looking miner, with pistols peeping Out
OF his belt, awaiting his reply.
II have the honor of having written
it," said he, politely.
The miner took the card from Harte.

and then, suddenly extending his hand,

THE ArronrIoNMeNr BILL.

The house on Wednesday had under
consideration the apportionment bill.
Hon. S. S. Cox delivered one of his
magnificent orations, in the course of
which he said: "Under this bill the
old slave states would gain eight and
lose two members. The old slave states
would make a net gain of six represen-
tatiyes while the rest of the states
mad a net gain of two; that is, the
west would gain eight, while New
England, New York and Pennsylvania
would lose six. If anyone complained
that it was sectional or partisan he
might calculate the net gains north and
south, from the numbers 300 to $40. as
the south had not differed from anti
bellum times more than 80 per cent.
1t might not be accurate to say that
h southern states had increased more
than the northern, though practically
they had done SO, owing to the defective
census OF 20; whether true or not, such
divisions of the north and south had
lost their Significance. In any event
the north continued to exceed the south
In congress, in the electoral college, in
the senate and in population; but the
wonderful increase of the five states
west of the Mississippi was the feature
OF the census. In 20 years they had
doubled their numbers, leaping from
one-tenth of the whole population to
one-tifth; those five states had increased
81 per cent. No state east of the Mis-
sissippi had attained to 80 per cent.

AN INCIDENT in MAR.

"Ma, why don't you ever dress up?" asked
llttle Ncllie Thornton, as her mother flu
ishcd brushing tho ohild's hair, and tying
her clean apron. There was II momcntury
surprise on Mrs. Thornton's face; but she
answered carelessly, "Oh, no one cares how
I look"
"Don't pa love to sec you look prctty?'
persisted the child.
The mother did not reply but nvolun-
tarily she glanoed at her slovcny attire,
the faded and worn calico dress and dinyy
apron, both bearing witness to nn intimate
acquaintance with the dish pan and stove

She was still comcly 10 features, graceful
in form, but few would call her hand
some or an accomplished woman; for, alas!

dTen did not seem to belong to her, so well

When, like too many other young wives
she began to grow negligent in regard to
her dress, he readily excused her 10 his owl
mind and thought, ''she is not WE'LL" or
"she has so much to do" and percciving no
abatement in his kind attentions, she nat
urolly concluded he was perfectly satisfied.
AS her family cares increased, sho went less
into company, she became still moro caro-

tented herself with seeing that p,thing was
