A Wrong Idea About Affairs iR she
 Young Mems Repablican Club.

Young Mems Republican Club.
 A member of the Young Mems Republican club said last night that the reports in cir cplstion to the effect that there is dissension in the club are untrue. Everything is har- monious. This move on the part of some to get club house and organize club has nothing whatever to do with the Young Mems Republican club. The over-interested in the new movement cannot join the Repub- lican league because tie dues are so large, and they feel that they would like to have a cheaper social club. If one-hundred and fifty persons signify their intention of joining the social club, it will be carried through, and club house rented. If it is organized the members will still belong to the Young Mems Republican club.

PROVISIONS OF THE POST OFFICE BILL,

PROVISIONS OF THE POST OFFICE BILL.
 HoUsE.-The House to-day went into Com mittee of the Whole on the Post Ofie Appro- priation bill.
 MT. Blount, of Georgia. explained the pro. visions of the bill. It was appropriated, he stated, $S6, ,594 ,344, of which it was esti- mated that $62, ,509, ,659 would be provided by the department from its own revenue. The appropriation for inland mail transpor- tation was an increase of $2, 105, 100 over the appropriation of the current year, and this was in part accounted for by the fact that the department had sent estimates of def ciency of $1 ,g07, 500 The increase in the free delivery system amounted to $1 1000, ,000 This was rendered necessary by the laws passed for the classification of carriers for leaves of absence and for applying to them the Eight Hour law. But notwithstanding this increase this branch of the service would be more than self sustaining. There WAS an increase of $800,000 in the appropria- tion for the compensation for post office clerks.

 LONDON, Feb. Notwithstanding the fact that heavy snow storm prevailed here to-day the demonstration announced to be held at Hyde Park to denounce the govern ment's coercive measures in Ireland and to express sympathy with Mir. William O'Brien was successfully carried out. Thousands of citizens, chiefly from the workingmen's and Radical clubs, attended the meeting, march ing to the park through the etorm with bands and banners. Speeches were delivered from twelve platforms. A resolution which was put simultaneously at all the platforms and carried amid great cheering, declared that the citizens of London condemn the brutal policy of coercion, protest against the gov ernments uncivilized treatment of political prisoners and demand the release of Irish patriots whose only crime is the exercise of the ordinary rights of free speech. The secirlasts occupied one platform, which was decorated with red flags, and at which was displayed banner with the inscription: Remember Chicago" The speakers at this platform utilized the occasion to denounce land owners and capital. Perfect order was maintained throughout the proceedings, and the host of policemen there had nothing to do except to regulate traffic.

An Aristocratic Canine.


''You mean dog collars" said New York
Press reporter to the onniscient society man.
mo, sir; I mean a dog ring. You see,
fashionable people who love their pets tired
of gold and silver and studded collars, So after
much laborious brain searching, they hit upon
the idea of a jeweled ring"
"Isnt the ring liable to slip off the animals
leg when in action?"
sit isn't for the leg. It's for the tail.n
''Don't you think their jewels will excite
the cupidity of the dog stealers2"
Undoubtedly; but you must remember
they will only be worn by animals who are
well able to take care of themselves
"Don't you think that it would be an ex-
cellent idea if society people provided their
dogs with eyeglasses and toothpicks?'
81 never gave the subject any thought"
"And with increasing civilization, culture
and refinement, oughtn't society cats to be
provided with braceletsa'
"Really now, don't ask me such questions.
We men look after the dogs. The welfare
and adornment of the cats is a matter for
the consideration of the ladies''
At first the reporter was inclined to believe
that his informant, who sucked most of his
knowledge from the head of his walking stick,
was lying with Munchausen-like aplomb A
stroll up Fifth avenue, however, convinced
him that he had not been listening to an inno-
cent fiction. Within quarter of an hour half
a dozen ringtailed bulldogs were encountered
Each of them waddled along with proper
pride, and each of them was accompanied by
one or more of those vapid specimens of in
cipient manhood known as dudes.

Coo1ie Carriers.

The coolies of the East Indies who are en-
ployed as carriers among the mountains, are
wonderfully fine fellows for this service.
Mr.. Vincent tells what was done by his own
servant:
He carried my baggage up the mountain
on sharp trot, and reached the hotel but
two hours after my arrival The weight of
the burden was nearly eighty pounds, and
the distance was thirty miles, The hill
tribes, breathing a cool and invigorating air,
are alone equal to such feats; and on going
to the Western Himalayas, afterwards en-
ployed coolies who possessed the same won
derful stamina.
They were splendid-looking men, short but
thickset, and very muscular, with olive
brown skins, piercing black eyes, long, glossy
hair, and regular and handsome features
One of this class of men will carry sixty
pounds upon his back, or fifty pounds upon
his head, for fifty miles up the hills, in
twenty hours. His charge for this is one
rupee fifty cents).-Youths Companion.
