than since the century began. The pro-
portion Of bachelors in the Pacific
Statss-if we exclude Utah-which is
really d Great Basin State-is larger
than elsewhere in the United States.
Aud now it is proposed, as afurther en-
enlargement to celibacy OF certain SIN
gle men who will so associate, to get up
a Bachelors Club, in Virginia city.
We would not feel so bad about this
movement, if we didn't notice that the
Young men who are named to US rs head
ing the list are abundantly, VIGOROUSLY
able to wive-so fer as revenue is con-
cerued. Not able to support a highfyer,
but to marry and handsomely take care
of a good girl, and provide against all
the risks involved. Don't you know
you spend more money foolishly as sin
gle young men than YOU would need to
keep a pleasant household You know
you do-you r~ascals, you. And say
here goes for n sensstion)-don't you
know that you're many per cent. more
apt to die than if you were duly mated ?
Have we got to throw q coffin IN your
way, in order to bring you to a sense OF
your duty? Then we will inform you that
DR.. Stark Of London has just made
known TO the public a most important
fact, one of vital interest to young men.
After patient and conclusive research,
he has ascertsined that between the
ages Of twenty years and twenty-five,
the death rate Of bachelors is double
that Of married men. In other words,
out of every hundred bachelors who die,
ftty might have avoided such n fate had
they but married in time. Those who
escape the deadly perils which oeset
their earlier years, still find the same
fatal proportion against them in the
after life. The statistical information
produced by DR.. Stark shows beyond a
question that between twenty-five and
thirty years Of age, the death ate with
bachelors is 1871 per thousand, whereas
during the same period it is only SO
among married men. Continuing the
comparison the English doctor proves
,ha, between thirty and ~,hirty-hve mar
ried men leave this pleasant mundane
sphere at the rate of nine per thousand,
whilst Ia is the figure for the less for
turate bachelors. Advancing IN age
the huge difference in favor Of the ben
edicts is lessened of course, but up TO
the last stages in life the bachelors have
the worst of il, as according to the ia
bles Of DR.. Stark the married men go oil
at the rate of 1878 per one thousand, and
the bachelors at 1873 per one thousand.
MAsosIc.-This evening tho third de-
gree will be conferred by Virginia Lodge,
at the Masonic Hall on B street. Mayor
Curris is Master Of this Lodge, and his
work cannot be surpassed. Members OF
the fraternity in good standing are cor
daily invited to attend. \ Master Ma
son, raised under his charge, has a for
nate friend for protection and instruc-
ton. The legend, rs it is called, OF the
Master Mason. is one Of the most touch
ing and beautiful in the great drama OF
life. Founded, as it is, upon the mys-
,eries and ceremonies Of the ancient
Egyptians, il has come down 70 us as
the very embodiment and substance OF
Masonry. Ii is the impressive e1empli-
f~icstion of the birth, the life, the duties,
the death aud the resurrection OF man.
Il stamps upon the intelligent Mason
the sublime doctrine Of the Immortality
Of the soul and it was Il wise provision
Of all Grand Lodges, that that degree
should never be given in part only, but
should be completed at every undertak-
ing. To omit this legend is to omit
the degree itself, and for its omission
the ordinary excuse, not even the igno-
rance of the Master, who may not have
the talent or industry to learn it. This
legend 10 the grand landmark, the I'M
failing beacon Of Masonic centuries. 1t
is never changed; it will admit OF no
removal, for it is the true point OF uni
res,al brotherhood. 1t conveys thought
and furnishes food for the reflective mind
down to the grave, and as a simple dra-
ma stands unequaled beside any OF the
productions Of genius. No Mason ever
participated in and forgot il; he felt its
moral upon his soul, as though it were
y touch Of Divinity, and when properly
understood, il inspires q solemnity sec
ond only to the scene Of death.
