A Singular law Suit

Major Burrill, the Superintendent of the
Hoboken and New York ferry, was pro-
posed about two years ago for initiation
into Hobolzen Lodge No. 35, of the order
Of Free and Accepted Masons. He intend
ed to take the first three degrees without
delay, and he paid the fifty dollars, the ag-
gregate fee fixed by Hoboken Lodge for
these steps. On the appointed night the
first degree was worked, and the Major
was made an apprentice. Then followed
the ordeal of the second degree, and at that
point it was ascertained that the Major had
sore on his knee which in the opinion of
the officers, was so far disabling as to de-
bar him from further advancement in the
order
Good physique is a requirement in car-
didates for initiation into Masonry, and, as
lacking in that essential, he was denied
further progress. The Major claimed, how
ever, that his rebuff was chargeable to
spite, and that the sore knee was only an
excuse, and demanded return of the $50
Va OioNh1iOh w biO WV hi5hSA NOEAOOSs
The lodge kept the money on the plea that
it was paid, as in all cases, subject to con-
tingencies like the one in point and was
not returnable. The dispute was referred
to the Grand Lodge in Trenton, and after
some delay the advice was returned that
two-thirds of the $50 should be repaid.
Hoboken Lodge, however, refused to re-
turn any of the money, and the Major sued
for it. He was non-suited on the ground
that the lodge was not chartered, and there
fore not liable to be sued. Under general
law of New Jersey Masonic societies may
be incorporated, but, disliking to have their
affairs made public in the courts, they sell
dom take advantage Of its provisions.
Major Burrill has lost none of his spunk,
and the lodge is as stubborn as at first.
Either is willing to spend thousand dol
lars in contesting the possession of the fifty.
Three weeks ago the Major begana new
suit in Justice Whites court against the
Treasurer of the lodge, and all Hoboken is
talking about it.

Horrible Brutality.

The Baltimore papers of last week pub
lish an account of shocking case of bru-
tality committed on negro boy named
James Henry Woodley, aged fifteen years,
in Howard county, by two negro men.
On the Goth of April, according to Wood
ley's statement, the two men, without
provocation, SCARED and branded his body
and limbs in the most cruel manner, with
a red-hot iron, and afterwards poured
spirits of turpentine over his naked body
and lower limbs, and set him on fire.
In this condition he escaped from his per-
secutors, and succeeded in extinguishing
the flames, in what manner he is scarcely
able to tell.
Woodley now lies at Lombard street In
firmary, in that city. His back and legs
we're roasted to a crust, and his recovery is
doubtful. It is reported that the par
ties perpetrating the outrage have been
arrested.

WHO IS lT7

Somebody is very anxious to defeat the
bill regulating the series of text books for
common schools. We have received cir
cular, as probably many others have, urg-
ing opposition to the passage of such a
law. In referring to this subject the AL
toona Tribune makes the following sensi-
ble remarks:
"To print and forward by mail or ex-
press, all these circulars and tracts, must
have cost nice little pile of money. Inas-
much as there are no names attached to
either, and it cannot be ascertained from
whence they come, the query naturally
arises, "who pays for all this? and what
do the parties expending this money ex-
pect to gain by it?' And another query
naturally follows "if the bill contemplates
fraud upon the public-if the objections
to it are well founded-and the authors of
the circulars are honest, why are they
ashamed or afraid to attach their names to
it :" These queries naturally arise, and
without being answered, the conviction as
naturally follows that the said circular and
tracts are printed and sent out by book
publishers and book agents, who see, in
the adoption of uniform series of school
books, blessing to the laboring classes,
but death to their business. 1t is to the
interest of book publishers and agents to
introduce as many different series of books
AS possible, and change them as frequently
as they can prevail upon school boards TO
do so. It's greatly to the advantage of
these men to have different series in each
school district in a county, SO that, when
families move from one district to another
they must be compelled to purchase new
set of books for their children

Pay Cash.

Oh, how hard it is to pay bills Every
body knows this. 1t is such pleasant
thing, too, to have money in your pocket,
and there is no way by which this desira-
able result can be secured except by spend
ing less than you receive. Nothing assists
in this calculation SO much as paying for
what you get when you get it.
When you run up bills at the butchers,
the bakers, the milliner's and dressmak-
er's, you never know exactly what you can
afford. 1t is very hard to keep track of all
your accumulating indebtedness, and you
are tempted to spend the money lying idle
in your hands for things which you can
do just as well without; and in this way in
commode yourself when the day for settle
ment of bills arrives.
Every tradesman knows that people buy
more freely on credit than for cash. When
the pocket-book is drawn upon every time
that want is to be satisfied, there is to be
true appreciation of the value Of what
you give, as we'll as of what you get but
when things are not to be paid for at the
time, there is less appreciation of the
cost than of the purchase.
In housekeeping, especially, the cash
system is the cheapest and pleasantest. 1t
prevents great deal of cheating and waste,
and saves the mistress of the house no end
of trouble. Cash customers buy cheapest,
and are the most desirable. Pay cash.

common-sense happiness.
OB Early on Thursday morning the
house of John Hannett, near Homestead,
about six mile from Pittsburg, was de-
stroyed by fire. The entire family, con
sisting of Hannett his wife, two children,
hired man, and a boy whom they were
raising, six persons in all, were burned to
to death. But two recognizable bodies
were found Itis thought the entire fami-
ly were murdered, and suspicion rests upon
man in their employ on the place. One
Of the bodies found among the ruins show
ed that the throat had been cut. The muir
derer has since been arrested, and has con-
fessed that he committed the crime f5f the
money in the house, which was only $15.

corporation fails to do SO, very few persons
will demand their redemption. If any
bank wishes to increase its circulation--as
the majority will-its notes, thus guaran-
teed, will be readily accepted in payment
for fresh bonds, whereupon it can issue adj

become, the wilder will the speculative
spirit grow, and the greater will be the
Generalization and ultimate distress. -
Considering the great advantages that the
possession of capital already gives, there is
a manifest injustice in Government legisla-
ting to increase those advantages, and thus
to make it unnaturally easier for those to
retain and increase capital who happen to
possess it, and harder for those who do not
possess it to accumulate No legal diff

FREE BANKING.

This subject which is at the present
time receiving considerable attention and
exciting much discussion is thus referred
to by the New York Mercantile Journal,
which we consider the best mercantile and
financial paper in the country The ad-
vcoates of what is termed "free banking
maintain that if every clique of persons
who choose to do so were at liberty to as
sociate themselves as bank, buy United
States bonds, deposit these at the Treasury
and issue notes for circulation guaranteed
by these bonds, the notes would only be
taken into circulation when needed for
business purposes, and could not be kept
ahoat when not 80 needed. OF the paper
of private bankers, wherewith Government
has nothing whatever to do, this might be
true but Of notes indorsed by Government
and redeemable thereby, If necessary, 1t is
NOT. The Government is great power
which every one knows, and in which all
believe and when 1t assumes not only the
responsibility Of authorizing corporations
TO issue circulating notes, but also the re-
sponsibility Of making them good If the

A CHANGE in the mode of electing the
President and Vice President has been fol-
some time under consideration by the SEN
ate Committee of Privileges and Elections.
1t is understood that that committee have
agreed upon their report which is substan-
TALLY the plan suggested by Senator Nor
Ton. The proposition is to divide each
State into Electoral districts, correspond
ing with the Congressional district. The
people will vote direct for the President,
and the candidate in district having the
highest number Of popular votes will be
given one vote for that district. Each
State is to have two votes cat large"
which are to be given to the candidate
having the highest popular vote in the
State. All of these votes are to be count
ed at Washington, and the candidate hav-
ing 4 majority will be elected President,
4 similar course is proposed for the choice
of Vice President, and tribunal is created
for the decision of call questions arising
out of an election fol the Office of President
and Vice President" The reform chiefly
secured by this change is the abolition of
the electoral Colleges" in the separate
States.

ancient Greece so ilustrious, The ruins of

reared entirely without the use Of mortar, and
would be as perfect to-day as when first built
if nothing but the ravages of time had been
brought to bear upon them. The bravery of
the Grecians was illustrated by their valor in
the wars with the shboring powers, being
few in number but mighty in power, but, in as
much as they were fighting for their conn
try, going forth to battle against great odds
and overwhelming numbcrS and by&their
bravery victory was generally their reward. =

was supported by the government together
with many other facts which were learnedly
