The Sentiment that Wins the Heart

Tie Rochester On. I.) 4" Democrat" has
the reputation of being Il leading Republican
paper. II he following sentiment recently az
pcarcd in the editorial columns of that Jour
nal:
The distress in the South hrs chiefly fallen
on women and children, the widows and or.
phans OF those who persisted in the war
Their condition is snch, that without help
from the North, it is probrble that many of
them will actually die of cold and hunger.
We hope that help will be literally afforded,
not only to Atlanta, but to every part of the
South where women and children are starv-
ing. There is movements on foot To send re
lief to the destitute Gre ks of Gambia But
Greeks at our door, our neighbors and coun.
trymcn, have the first claim upon our chari.
ty Immediate measures should be taken for
their relief before anything is sent to strang-
crs five thousand miles away.

why Women can not enter Ma

! Frequent complaints are made by ladies
in relation to Masonry, and their prime.
pal arguments are that they have no busi,
ness to do anything that they cannot tell
their wives; that that which is secret ust
be wrong; that it is only mean excuse,
and so on One branch of the sub ect
seems. however, to be capable Of legend
ary explanation. and the Norfolk J,nrna!
publishes thereon the following paragraph:
when King Solomon was still young
man he had married his seventh wife She
was beautiful young Ammontcss, with
locks as black as the ravens wing, and
eyes as bright as the eagles. 1t was be-
licved that she was the fayored fair one
among all the favored fair ones Of the
Greek King, fer his affections were not
divided then as they afterwards became
She knew her power and used it unspar>
inglv. In addition to her other qualities
she was as inquisitive as ever was a woman
on this earth.
One evening King Solomon attended
| Lodge on some grand occasion, and stayed
out somewhat late When he returned
home he found the fair Ammonitess in the
dumps, and pouting just like the dear wives
of Masons do sometimes now when their
lords stay ont too late at the Lodge. She
upbraided him with neglecting her, insin,

he pretended and insisted that in future
he should give proof that he went there
by having herself initiated, so she might

thy Unsuitable curiosity. in which thou ex-
cellest Eve herself. Know, then, that /

The climate Of Minnesota is described
by one who has enjoyed it for many years,
in substance as follows: Tn January the
Thermometer osciliates about zero, though
it is oftener above than below it. Most
years there is about week Of excessively
cold weather. when tie mercury falls
thirty or forty degrees. February usually
contains few very cold days. March is
about the same in its general characteris-
tics as in New England. 1t is the month
Of maple sugar. April is given up to
plowing and sowing grain. Corn is usually
planted by the 18th Of May. The weather
begins to get warm, the mercury often
tising to eighty and even ninety degrees
in the shade. June and July are very
hot months. In June everything grows
with stattling rapidity. July has deli
ciously cool nights August is delightful
month, as cool breezes are prevalent, and Il
cold storm is not unknown. September is
generally honored with slight touch of
frost October is the most enjoyable
month of the year. 1t is usually ushurcd
in by heavy frost, which is not repeated
for ten or twelve days November and
December are marked by a steady falling
of the thermometer. Between October
and Marc .ain is great rarity During
the summer months it is very frequent,
and heavy dews fall Snow is never deep
or than two feet on level Sleighing
lasts every year for two months.

Playing EOli.

Most every body knows now to plal
pool. To those who don't know we will.
state that the game is played cn Hard
table, with twenty or thirty balls, each bal,
numbered. A dozen or more can play at
the game. A certain number is fixed up
on, and the player who shall first pocket
enough balls. whose combined numbers
will amount to it, wins the pile-which is
made up by the players stalking certain
amount before the game commences. Pre-
vious to the commencement each player
draws marb!s from the box and puts l.
out of sight il his pocket. These mar,
bles are all numbered to correspond with
the numbers on the table The PLAYER,
after receiving his marble, bears the num-
ber in his mind, and his game is to pocket
balls enough, the number of which. added
to that on the ma.tle in his pocket, viii.
make the number which wins the pile.

gality. This new plan of military organ
ization was put in as an amendment to an
appropriation bill, with which it had legit>
mately as much connection as with the
Kahn Of Tartary The President signed
the bill, consentng to his own virtual de
position. with a feeble protest stating that
he would have vetoed it but for fear of
endangcring the appropriation biil. This
was very remarkable consideration on
the part of the President, as Congress was
in perpetual session, and could have easily
repassed the said appropriations. The law
is as follows:
