 of the State committee of the Young Mems Republican league in the club rooms in tho Insurance building for the purpose of elect ing delegates and taking action concerning the coming national convention, which will take place in Nashville, Tenn, on March 4. This committee is composed of one member K. l.. Linsley is chairman and Mr. John F. Gafey is secretary, both of this city. The meeting was . brief one and presided over by MT. Linsley. It was decided not to elect the delegates till State meeting, which will take place in Hartford February 6, il, or 12. Similar meetings of the league have taken place all over the country, and the conven- tion at Nashville promises to be grand af- fair.
 The effective work that this league of young Republicans did in the last campaign has given it . permanent position in the world of politics. It is the intention tc make the representation from New England solid and complete in every detail. It Ii hoped that the question of cost will mol hinder any from participating, as the pleas ure that the trip promises will more than offset the expenses which the individual delegates will incur. It is impossible to tell just what effect this temporary infusion ol new blood will have on the hitherto solid South. Plans have been formed that all ths New England delegates may travel together on the same special train and thereby mak ing the trip especially pleasant. The tim, necessary for the journey will be about twt
 weeks, with entertainments in several of thu cities

rlln.ss D.l.ys . Marriage.

The wedding of Harry Hewstt, in the sm- ploy of the State street horse railroad com. papy. and Miss Lena King of 3l Bradley street, which was to have taken place last evening. at the last moment had to be post poned on account of the illness of the would- be groom. He is at present confined to the house. The ceremony will take place next Thursday evening, if his condition permits. His Life Lengthened by the Editor.
 Says the Chicago Herald: A gentleman from Dakota tells . story of enterprise on the part of E. W. Caldwell, who publishes weekly paper at Sioux Falls. The incident occurred at the time noted criminal named Egan was to be hanged for wife murder. The gentlemen says Caldwells paper was published on Thursdsy, snd with good busi- ness foresight he guessed the judge would sentence the man to be hanged on Friday. the usual day. He called upon the judge and found that was his intention. and he then put forward his best arguments to in- duce the judge to make a record by changing the day and have the hanging on Thursday. Tho judge listened, and acknowledged there was no particular reason why the affair should not be done upon Thursday as well a Friday, and he said he was much inclined to favor Caldwell, as he had promised to have the matter written up in great shape and give the judge a good send-off as we'll.
 But there was one objection to the Thursday preceding the day he had intended to set, and that was it came on July 9th, and was % close to the great national holiday that he was afraid it would cast e gloom upon the whole commuHity. For that reason only he did not feel like anticipating the event. Not to be downed, MT. Caldwell then tried to have the judge postpone the inteFesting af- fair until the Thursday following, and after long argument it was so arranged. Mir.
 Caldwell was happy over his success, and was chuckling over it in his office, when in
 came Congregational minister who had
 been attending the condemned, He had re-
 oeived the impression that Mr. Caldwell had
 induced the judge to hurry the hanging e at | frst talked of, and he denounced the editor l in round terms for his inhumanity in letting sordid business zeal induce him to cut off one | day of the condemned mans existence. Mr. Caldwell guessed the errsr the clergyman
 had made, and quickly undeceived him by saying: II have not cut off the mans time,
 but rather have given him five full days ex- tra lease of life; 1t is not every editor that
 has the power to add to . mans days"

The Coupens-Tho DHaWiDGss
 Toths Editor ofths JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In this mornings issue you speak of the manner of putting out the tickets for the xsnodoohy. So far from this being an error 1t would seem that the prize tickets were sent out in the proper manner. Is Is true the coupons must 90 in the wheel if you wish to compete for prizes, but 1t is equally true that many friends of the arays would like to assist the enterprise to the extent Of one or more ticket, who do not care to join in the drawing of prizss. Purchasers of tickets who have scruples of this kind can, when they hold the entire ticket, which certainly belongs to them, act their own pleasure about tho drawing. But purchasers of tickets who have no scruples in this respect would prefer m . rule to place their own coupons, which is quite practicable, by having . looked box
 o hs meuts at the big o. 4. R. fair In Hartford four years ago. In this manner the ticket holder knows his coupon is in the boz, for he deposited 1t himself, and if his "number does not come out" he attributes 1t to i'll luck and makes the best ot it. In the other case he leaves his coupons with his friend who promises to, and doubtleas will, deposit them in the box-if he don't forget it. Aftsr the close of the recent Grand Army fair at the armory 1t would be interesting to know how many of these detached coupons were extracted from vsst pockets, fly leaves of memorandum books, and from remote corners of rstieulss and portmonies-tioke which had been taken in good faith, but which in the hurry of business had been overlooked or forgotten. The writer pleads guilty to having in his bureau drawer at this late day good sized package of these num- bered coupons, which he keeps e . constant reminder 3hat memory is treashsrous.
