are q great many men who find in club

who are able on given income to live
far more luxuriously with the aid of
these institutions than they could in
any other way. It has been said that
this fact binders marriages, and very
likely this is true.
Men who are accustomed to having
things to suit them in a club, and who
are not able to keep up an establish

fore they give up the comforts they
have for the doubtful blessings of a
home which must be managed on an
economical basis. This view of life
may be selfish. but it is undoubtedly the
one taken by many of our manageable
men, and it is difficult to see how it
is to be changed. Men belong to one or
several clubs. which have a restaur-

'Jee Whillikens! What's that?''
Higgins made a dive for something in
the mud at his feet, fished it out be-
tween his thumb and finger, and
slapped his thigh joyfully as he said
"a fve-dollar gold piece. sure as

life! I'll have me new hat out OF
that, and take tho babies home some
toys and something to my wife,
A moment later he met two friends,
and said:
"Ha, Smythe, how are you? How'r

Archie Flynn's place and take some

and ten minutes later he met three OF
the ''boys" from the Office and gen.

Then he tossed twenty-five cents to
a blind beggar and gave the Office boy
ten cents for backing his boots.
He wrote letter to his married SIS

following postscript:

ENGLAND AND IRELAND.

The Tedious Parnen COmmission-Parks
for the Poor of London.
LONDON, July 2, 18S9.-At today's ses-
sion of the Parnell Commission Michael
Davitt was placed on the witness stand.
Mr.. Davitt denied'that the account given
by LIE Caron. the Times witness, that
John Devoy's proposals were submitted
to Mr.. Parnell, was true. Mr.. Parnell, he
said, had nothing to do with his (Davitt's)
visit to America in 1878. 1t was the wit
ness intention to revisit America to lee
ture and to raise money for the agrarian
movement in Ireland.
The Portuguese government has agreed
to Lord Salisbury's proposal to submit
the questions involved in cancelling the
Delagoa Bay railway concession to arbi-
tration.
The Parnell Indemnity Fund, started
by the FTeenlG1l's Journal to defray the
heavy expenses of the Irish party before
the Special Commission, now amounts to
over t40,000. The Irish National League
of New South Wales has just sent 81 900
as a first installment to this fund and has
added 9500 for the evicted tenants fund.
Only 100000 of the money has been ex-
pended thus far.
London is waking up to the necessity of
preserving its open places for breathing
spots for the poor against the encroach-
ments of new public buildings. The bill
for using the site of the old Coldbath
Prison as a PoStofi1ce came up in the
House of Commons yesterdy, and three
members, Viscount Lymington, Mr.. Row
land and Mr. BARLEY, gave notice that
they would oppose the measure on the
ground that these nineteen acres should
be devoted to recreation ground for the
children of the very poor of the
neighborhood. The government will
probably consent to compromise. Con-
stitution Hill is to be thrown open to the
public, and the County Council are con-
sidering proposition to remove the pri-
yate gates, to the number of hundred
or more, that block the entrance to so
many London squares. The voice of the
poor is making itself heard, and the demo-
cratic regime in London is well under
