Quite an interesting incident occur
rcd not two miles from this city, which,
we believe, has not as yet been chron-
icled. Any inquirer is very easily
satisfied of its truth by the blush that
his question of inquiry will paint up-
on the faces of all the parties.
On a certain lot is situated a COSY
double cottage, the eastern part of
which is inhabited by a gay, newly
married couple, while the remaining
rooms are occupied by a maiden lady
OF middle age, whose weight is 200
pounds ayoirdUpOis. Immediately
over the rooms below is a garnet. with
no floor, and separated from the fer
mel by nothing but a weak ceiling,
Our esteemed maiden lady appears to
have been for some time past the sub.
lect Of next door neighbors' gossip.
Now, ii SO happened that one evening
the aforesaid couple were entertaining
before the cheerful fire two friends,
a gentleman and lady. Our ever.
watchful friend, hearing the chatter
and laughter in her neighbors' room.
became suspicious, and determined
that shes.must. be::the object of this i'll.
timedss mirth. Led by over-anxious
curiosity, she assembled a pair of lad
dcr-steps, and tripping n~oiselessly
over the wooden joist, She stood list
ening right over the room of the in
nocent p%rattlers. So far, very good,
But the monotony of one position
neccssitated a change; and this, in its
turn, produced a slip, and down went
woman, ceiling and all, to the evident
discontinue Of various persons. The
cloud OF dust clearing away, there was
apiece Of Humanity suspended in mid
air by a robe de mUH, the extrcmetics
of which were attached to nails above.
while a pair of pedal appendices were
dangling about in search Of terra

ing women and the bewildcrment of
astoni.hed men precluded all idea of
immediate ex~trication f; SO that twas
not for some minutes that our female
friend found herself safe at home

ity.

into a weak solution of Sulphuric acid,
which is in strength proportional at
one drop Of the acid TO fifty drops of

bleaching is one cent per yard. Those
unaccustOmed to this process, in order
to test the strength Of this solution,

There arc two classes Of MasOns
we do not like-the parrots" and
the "rusts." The former il one who
thinks that the ritual is all Of Mason
ry who will spend days and weeks
even in finding out if such a word
should be or or and, yet who will not
devote a minutes time to the study
of Masonic history and principles.
The latter is one who would never
have joined the institution If he had
not expected to be pecuniarily 5eme-
fitted thereby, and being disappoint-
ed in that, cares no more for it. Give
us the bright Mason, who reads and
studies and consequently understands
the objects of Masonic institutions
the greatest in existence. The "rusty
Mason" is charmingly depicted by
the "wag" of the New York Demo
crdt as follows:
Ono of our active and Jealous Ma
sons found himself in a railroad car,
just about leaving for Albany, VISA
Wis with one whom nc remembered
several years since to have met in a
Lodge in this city. The recognition
was mutual. After the interchange
Of the usual compliments, the former,
A., asked the latter, b., to what Lodge
he now belonged.
Bob, | don't belong to any
Lodge now. Masonry did me no
good. / never made anything by it,"
A--"Well, | did not join Masonry
TO make anything out of it. Quite
the contrary and yet | unexpectedly
made something out of it this very
day."
B--"lndecd how was that 2"
A-"When went TO buy my ticket
made a sign, and the brother gave
me a first cIsss ticket for a second
class price"
BIN quite rusty; | forgot the
sign. What one did you make z"
Al plac, ID the forofnger of my
left hand on my left check, and mid
dIe.tinger o. the same on nv right
check, forming u triangle. l then
pointed the Index finger Of the right
hand through the triangle, and wag-
ged 1t at him. lie recognized it, and
You know the result"
Albany was reached, and a few
days atterward B. was returning. He
went to the ticket office, and did cx-
aCtly as A. had described, at the same
time handing the price of a second
class ticket, and demanding one of
the tirst-class. The ticket agent de-
mandcd Sl,S0 more. The sign was re-
peated. "What the devil are You max
ing faces at me for?" "Why, it is the
sign" said b; "don't you recognize
it? want a tirst-class ticket for a
second-class price" The agent felt
insnlted, and said if he did not nav
81 50 more he could not have ticket:
and if he made any more signs at
him he would kick him out. + paid
the fare and in the q met A. He
told what had occurred, and said he
was more convinced than ever that
Masonry was II humbng.
A.. laughed outright and said,
"WeIl, you must be very rusty indeed.
The sign | gave you was the
upward trip. lfyou wanted a dcduc-
ton made you should have reversed
hands, and made the wagging with
the index finger of the left hand. Tha:
was the sign return ticket. One sign
would not do both ways of course"
lie opened his eyes, acknowledged
he was rusty, and had no one to blame
but himself for not making money
out Of Masonry.

american Rice.

The Boston Commercial College
says: During 1870, 5000 tierces of
"a DINA rice were sold in Boston,
FRI M 10000 to 1900 bags of Iangoon,
and about 1900 bags of other grades.
The crop of American rice now in the
markets Of the country is set down at
from 5000 to 5000 casks less than that
of last year at the corresponding time.
The great bulk is raised in South
Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana. In
North Carolina the cultivation of this
staple has been almost entirely aba,,.
doned, owing to the bad condition in
which the plantations were left at the
close Of the war, and tho large outlay
which 1t would require to nut them
IN good order. The cousumption Of
rice In New England has materially
increased within the past two or three
years, which is owing TO the compar.
attvely low prices, and to the fact that
inc masses are finding out that i
contains more nutriment than most
articles generally furnished for tue
table, According to Braconet, its
chemical analysis Is S5.07 starch. 4.9O
vegetable lbre, 5,00 water, 1850 gluten.
vi gum, 029 unchrystalized sugar.
Ol3 fixed oil, 0.40 salts. American
rice is considered the best, and NEXT
~ order is that of Siam and Pafua.
The rest being generally sold under
The name Of RangoOn."

IMPORTANCE OF BREEDING. How
ever much by iudicious management
we may enable a flock to producc
wool under the most favorable cir.
eumstanccs, il Is perfectly clear that
the natural character of the breed will
be a very important agency. Man.
agement will go far to favor The
growth Of good wool but it certainly
cannot do oil We need. Hence the
Importance of securing sheep which
are of suitable breed, and from which
we may be sur TO obtain wool OF tho
desired quality and weight. The
value Of long.continncd and careful
breeding u shown ferelbly lii the wcol
az IN the general form of the body.
Those flocks which, for several suc.
cessive gen creations, have maintained
enc steady aid aAi.olm Character Of
wool, offer the best source from which
to breed when Il is desired to improve
the wool of any flock.
