MASONRY IN IowA.--Iowa Masonry
from four small lodges twenty-five years
ago, with membership of one hundred
and one, ''has grown into an association
of two hundred and thirty-two chartered
lodges, with an aggregate membership of
over ten thousand mcn--men whom the
ancient constitution require shall be good
and true men, free born and Of mature and
discreet age, no bondmen, no women, no
immoral or scandalous men, but Of good
report."' In the statistical returns of the
particular lodges we find that the number
of working lodges in the state on the 1st
of May was 242; that the total membership
was Ii ,463; that during the year prior to
that date 1884 persons were initiated into
the lodge; lob Entered Apprentices
passed to Fellow Crafts; and 1881 Fellow
Crafts raised to Master Masons; 623 were
admitted on DENTS from other states. and

W. W. Peak, of the Swiss Bell Ring
ers, in letter extensively published,
says;
l can honestly state as the result of
my observations during our extended
tour of over six months through the
States of Tennessee, Georgia, South
Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis
lana and Texas, that stories of outrages
so frequently seen in Northern papers
are, generally, carnations from the
brains of evil-minded persons, written
for effect and having no foundation in
fact. The Southern people, generally,
are as well disposed towards, will treat
as kindly, and welcome as cordially, any
and all well disposed persons who may
come among them either as permanent
settlers or as transient visitors, as would
the people of any section of our common
country. They have suffered great
deal during the past few years and have
by no means fully recovered from the
effects of the war, but they are hopeful
for the future, and to all well meaning
people they will extend the right hand
of fellowship, irrespective of the section
Of country from which said people may
come.

Mr.. Trimble was a well>to-do man of
the world, but he had made his money by
means that had forfeited all the friendship
of those who believe in square dealing !;
and though he rolled in his carriage, be
could not count dozen that he might call
friends. At the close of his life the mum.
Der of these had diminished, and when he
lay, at last, shelved, the paint on his Intel
was not worn by the multitudes of those
solicitous to render aid to the afflicted. 1t
was before the day of hearses, and bearers
were depended upon to carry the deceased
to the grave, which, wien the way was
long, made the service very onerous,
though it was never refused The son of
the deceased Trimble and poor relative
were to make arrangements for the funer-
al, the latter to look after and procure
bearers. He went among the people, and
while several said they would assist "with
pleasure''-laying stress upon the word
the most Of the people were so busily en-
gagged they could not attend. 1t seemed,
to that poor relative, that there never was
such busy time as then prevailed, and
without seeing half enough, he returned
to make his report. He found the young
man in BARRIERS shop.
"Bill," said he, with very rueful ex-
preston, 81 can't find any bearers"
Bill looked at his coadjutor with a half
wonderful and half funny expression, and
said:
"Well, Joe, that's bad but I have sue
ceeded worse than you have, for l can't
find any mourners."

Ruskin truthfully said: San educat-
ed man ought to know three things
First, where he is-that is to say, what
kind of q world he has got into; how
large it is, and what kind of creatures
live in it, and how what it is made of
and what may be made of it. Secondly,
where he is going-that is to say, what
chances or reports there are of any other
world besides this what seems to be the
nature Of that other world. Thirdly,
what he had best do under the circum-
stances; what are the present state and
wants of mankind; what are the readiest
means in his power of attaining hap
piness'and diffusing it The man who
knows these things and who has his
will so subdued that he is ready to do
what he knows he ought is an educated
man; and the man who knows them
not, is uneducated, although he could
talk all the tongues of Babel"

EXTRAORDINARY SELF-IMMoLATIoN
The following statement appears in
the Pail Mall Gazette:
"All the extraordinary proceedings of
the many fanatieal sects whose rapid in
crease has excited so much anxiety in
Russia are fairly thrown into the shade
by terrible act of self-immolation
which is reported from the government
of Saratow. A few months ago the
prophets of new religion made their
appearance in that part of the empire,
preaching self-destruction by fire as the
only sure road to salvation and SO rea-
Oily was their dreadful doctrine received
by the ignorant and superstitious pea
santry, that in one large village no less
than seventeen hundred persons assemb-
led in.some wooden houses, and having
barricaded the windows and doors, set
the buildings on fire and persisted in the
flames. The authorities are doing all
they can to stay the progress of this
new madness, but their task is obviously
difficult one. The punishments which
the law can inflict must have little ter
ror for enthusiasts who deliberately
choose death so horrible as the true
road to heaven"

Sir, that is the truest American pol
icy which shall most usefully employ
American capital and American labor,

is interviewer with all my opinions, that

united and inseperable !; that agricul-
ture, commerce, and manufactures will
prosper together or languish together
and that all legislation is dangerous

OYsTERs.-An exchange says: awe
suppose that nine out Of ten housekeepers
will contradict us point blank, in state
ment that nine out Of ten of them do not
know how to stew dish of oysters. BY
the ordinary routine that nearly every one
follows, either the oysters are stewed and
shrivelled out Of all semblance of them>
selves in shape, size and flavor, or else the
soup and ''thickening" has raw taste that
spoils it. Here is the right method. Try
it once, and we'll warrant you won't need
telling the second time. Pick the oysters
out of the juice with fork, as dry as
possible; stew the juice, thickening, milk
or water, Of which the soup is to be made,
until thoroughly cooked then drop the
oysters in, and just as the cooled soup
begins to show signs Of simmering, empty
out all together, and you will have rich
soup and plump oysters, luscious enough
to make you think you meyer tasted real
oysters BEFORE

PIoUs DEAD BEATS. persistency,
not to say "cheek,' of some charitable
solicitors, is astonishing. A sanctimoni-
Gus looking person made his appearance
at the residence Of a clergyman near
Hartford, Conn.,, and stated the object of
his visit, which was to procare funds in
aid of a Western college. After some
conversation, the agent said "What /
want is this, that you will direct me to the
people of wealth who are in the last stag
es Of consumption, or are hereditarily dis
posed to appoplexy. find this class of
persons more easily reached than these
who possess means and are in the poses
sion of perfect health. In one western
town found one old gentleman who lad
received two aporlectic strokes, and he
put our college in his will for $l5 900, and
lady consumptively inclined gave us
$4,000. Neither is dead yet, but you
see the Importance of getting people on
the right SIDE" The clergyman, after
listening to this argument" said that the
members of his church were, as far as he
knew, in the enjoyment of good health,
and it would be impossible to select any
one who gave promise of early DEATH
The agent, upon looking about the town
further, ascertained that the general health
of the community was too good for specu
lation with the c cad, and decided to leave
at once for some other locality.

ANDY REDIvIvUs.-The bare possibil-
ity that Andrew johnson may be elected
United States Senator from Tennessee, is
source of indispensable grief to the i'm
peachers. They can imagine nothing
more humiliating to themselves or grea-
ter triumph for Andy, than such result
of the late election. The idea of Andy
standing up in the Senate, an boarding
his late judges, and hurting upon them
showers of hot shot from his capacious
vocabulary, is too grievious and alfliction
to be entertained with a semblance of
equanimity, and SO they have already
commenced fierce warfare upon him, in
advance of any movements on his part in
that direction. His return to the Senate
would be sort Of poetic justice to him,
and fitting rebuke to his unprincipled
prosecutors, and the country would enjoy
his triumph. But other considerations
will be likely to govern the conservatives
Of Tennessee in their choice of Senator :;
and therefore, the choice of Mr.. johnson
may not be deemed the wisest policy in
view of the peculiar characteristics of the
ma.:, and the circumstances of the occa-
sion. There are in Tennessee other good
and true men, of ability and National
reputation, from whom a choice may be
made that will be quite as acceptable to
the conservatives of the country, as the
election of Andrew johnson.

The Waukon STANDARD, with its
characteristic fairness, says, that we are
the organ of the Democracy of this
county. We are the organ of no party ;
we try to the utmost of our ability, to
treat all parties with exact and even
handed justice. 1t is true, we call no
nick-names; avoid scurrilous epithets
and endeayor to point out the real in
terests of our county from amid the
Earring pretensions ofpolitical partizans.
We are opposed to the supremacy of
capital and advocate the rights Of
honest labor. We are opposed to the
theories of those politicians who are an
nually giving away to heartless mono
plies the best portion Of the public
domain which is and ought to be the
priceless inheritance of our children.
We are opposed to all stock-jobing in
human flesh, whether that flesh be the
property of a Negro Or a Coolie. We
would not oppose voluntary immigration
to our shores from Asia, but we do OPP
pose the desperate efforts of Southern
Planters and Northern capitalists to
form company to bring Coolic laborers
among us, under contract almost as
degrading as that under which Negro
slavery claimed an existence. If the
Coolies come, let them come like the
people of Europe, free agents, honest
competitors in the field of toll. If they
can not SO come, let us not, like the
Peruvians, injure the interests of our
glorious country by forced importation
of system of vassalage differing only
in its term of duration, from the slavery
which we have just abolished. Besides,
we believe, that We have plenty of lab
orers in the country; wages produce
laborers in the same ratio that labor
produces capital. Our toiling millions
need higher wages, great deal more
than a few capitalists need an increase
of operatives in order to make the poor
mans already small remuneration,

The London Times, talking about the
late boat race, says the issue Of this match
is no inapt illustration Of the difference
between the two nations. The English
men were heavier than the Harvards.
but it remains doubtful to which side
the balance of strength inclined. As
for gallantry, energy and pluck, Harvard
showed an example we may humbly hope
to equal, but cannot excel. The victory
was victory of education.

Another hurtful and ridiculous fashion

Another hurtful and ridiculous fashion
is in the high, heeled boots, which have
s.'sSa f.'5s4 S,fe<I-
srandmothers. A slight heel is an advan-
tage in walking, but those high heels,
with the excessively small surface and the
sharply beveled sides, make walking q
service Of pain and difficulty. Besides,
they destroy the shape of the leg, which
is something to be considered. They
throw the weight forward and the strain
on the shin, and consequently they dimin-
ish the back muscle, the calf, and convert
the forepart into an ugly bow. The
shape of our shoes and boots is in itself
an outrage against common sense but we
women are not alone in this absurdty,
nor are we to blame, so that as the papers
deal with our own follies specially, we
may be let off without any personal and
peculiar reprof therefor.
