military authority in support of these state
mcnts and many influential business men
and capitalists, apd persons interested in
philanthropio movements, and students of
social problems, have returned to their homes
from their Southern visit determined to do
something to enlighten the public as to the
outrageous state of things in the South. And
what shall be the remedy? 1t is difficult to
say; but one thing can be done, and that is
create public sentiment which shall enable
the Southern States to rid themselves oftheir
present POLITICAL rulers, white and black !;
and secondly, withhold all government and
political patronage from men known to be
connected with the "rings" in the South !;
and we can safely leave the rest to time.

A matron gives the following advice to
girls: Girls talk and laugh about marriage
as though it were jubilee, a glad SOME
thing, rose without a thorn. And so it
is, if it is all right; if they go about it as
rational beings, instead of merry:making
children. 1t is life business, and that OF
heart and happiness. Therefore, never do
it in haste; never run away to get mar
ricd; never ''stcal marriage" never mar
ry for wealth. or standing, or fine person,
or manners, but only for character, tor
worth, for the qualities of mind and heart
which make an honorable man. Take time,

proposal consult yonr parents, :hen some
iudicious ftiend, then your own judgment.
Learn all that it is possible for you I to !, learn

situ, to measure multiplies of the pyramidal
cubit Ga little more than twenty-five inches)
on all its lines, and the angle of its outer
slope to express with mathematical accuracy
the ratio of the diameter to the perimeter Of
circle. The pyramidal cubit is exactly
5000, ,000, ,000,1 of the shortest radius OF. the
earth, and the height ofthe restored pyramid
222 cubits, the O-OO0, ,OOO,OO0,1 of the dis
tance of the sun from the earth, according
to the lately corrected value of this distance.
Similarly the so-called sarcophagus inside
the pyramid has been found to be an accu-
rate measure of contents, based on the
pyramidal cubit. A relation to the mean
density of the earth is also found to exist,
and it is a curious fact that the unit Of mea-
sure adopted by the builders Of the pyramid,
supposed 10 be at loast 5000 years old, and
to have been erected by race anterior to
the histexical Egyptians, possesses geometrl-
cal accuracy which does not exist in the
French one, which as is known, is not what
its designers intended it to be. in exact decimal
relation with the meridian, owning to errors
in the arc. Whoever were the builders
of the Ghizeh pyramid, astronomy must have
been far advanced among them to enable
them to calculate. the distance Of the sun at
the amended figure to which it has been re-
duced only within the last three or foVr
years.
