THE GAZETTE.
SEPT: "a.

A new way of getting rid Of undesirable
babies has been invented in Boston. A few
DAYS ago girl with an infant iu her arms
hailed passing horse car. Before stepping
on the platform she handed the animated pack
age to the conductor; and then concluded not
to get on at all, but disappeared through the
crowd and was seen no more. This nay have
been relief for the girl, but it put the con-
ductor in an embarrassing position.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1872-09-14

The passion for notoriety in these degenerat-
ed DAYS leads people into very strange conduct.
4 girl up in Montgomery county, Md: lately
concocted story about her lover who, insisted
upon her marrying him at the point OF pistol
and fualy shot at her, iuaicting only slight
wound in the arm. It was ascersalned that the
lover was myth, and that she Inflicted the
wound herself, and told the story to create a
sensation.

The want Of Masonic Journal In Missis-
sippi, has been longtime felt and acknOwl-
edged.
There are In our Jurisdiction three hundred
working Lodges, and not less than 1900
Masons; aud all without an official organ or
common medium OF INSTRUMENTATION
between the brethren throughout the State.
The inevitable result has been that con-
fusionamong the craft has been spread by
the introduction Of conflicting opinions ana
decisions enunciated through the Journals
published in other Grand jurisdictions.
That this confusion Is more the conse-
quence Of differences In Grand Lodge Con-
situations aud Edicts, than OF conflicting
views as to the fundamental tenets OF Ma
sonry is probably truth, yet none the less
TO be deprecated.
We need an OFFICIAL ORGAN and must
have one. We should agree upon and estab-
li,h what we may not be asham ed 20 cal
