Miss Parker is the youngest of eight

rapidly that she became an expert and
teacher within two months. Her first
pupil of any note was her mother.

We nave read with much interest the
address OF the agricultural and stock
committee Of Mstulls grange, Monroe
county, Mississippi. 1t should be in the
hands of every cotton planter in that
State. The address gives a very h4tter-
ing account Of the grain prospects in
portions Of Mississippi. Wheat, rye and
barley are doing well Many Of the
winter oats were injured by the extreme
cold weather, because they were not
sowu early enough to take root before
the extreme cold weather commenced.
The red, TUst-pgOof cat, sown In Septem-
Der, is doing remarkably Well In fact,
this is tie best 0st that can be sowa for
winter grazing, If put in early in Sep
tember. The committee recommend
more close attention to stock OF all
kinds, and say that the failure to raise
hogs, cattle and other live stock sue
cessfuily Is the result Of negligence or in
attention. They give many good rea-
sons why the cotton-planter need not
expect & large price for his cotton next
wiuter, and they therefore urge upon
them the necessity Of raising their own
supplies, and particularly the import.
auce Of not uegiecting the cultivation OF
their corn in order 10 make cotton.
Coming from practical farmers Of large
experience, this address can and should
10 much good. The various oranges Of
Mississippi should place it in the hands
Of all their members.

S-coui-If such power exists, can it
be exercised without first creating q

act, and a repeal Ot the ordinance above
referred TO?
TIE JUICE, after an able, careful and
xhaustive review Of the questions, an
sverei 10 the first
thst there is no power in the present
general council to elect the police and
fire commissioners.
And TO the second
that repeal Of all ordinances assigning
10 the two departments Of fire and police
= MANAGEMENT different from that men
Stoned in section fOrty-nine, is an absO-
suls prerequisite 10 a valid exercise by
any general council Of the power to elect
the five com mIssiOners provided for iu
that section.
1t Will be seen from this that the judge
sustaius the positions taken by the AP-
PEAL, positions as we believe unassail-
able. The judges opinion, published in
the Aeulaache, is marked by clearuessi
cogsncy AID logic that we think cannot
be overcome, and that will prove
.tumbling-block ia the way Of those
who may be looking to be the success

NEW ALBANY, IND, April 27.-TheTe
is quite a stir in Masonic circles in this
city, partly growing out of notice In
the dispatches of Saturday last from this
place, which has led to serious cOnse-
guences to the order, especially to that
branch known as Knights of the Red
Cross of Constantine. From statement
in the Ledger Standard this evening, it
appears that Rev. Mr.. Gierlow, very
prominent and Jealous Mason, and
pastor Of the Episcopal church
IN this city, secured a warrant
for the opening Of q Conclave of the or
der referred to, from Sir Alfred Creigh,
the supreme head of the order in the
United States, and through him char
ter was obtained from England and con-
clave No. III was organized in Septem-
Der, 1874, and the charter arrived in
January, 1875. Thereupon Mr.. Gierlow
organized COnClave No. III in eXpecta-
tiOn of receiving sufficient number Of
coDclaves in other parts Of the State to
organize a State council. Mr.. Gierlew
was also authorized by Intendant-Gen-
eral Creigh 10 organize cOnclaves in
Kentucky. In the meantime other Ma
sonic brethren in this city proceeded to
organize five conclaves under authority
from Kentucky. These were all organ
lied in this city, and they at once pro-
ceeded to organize grand council for
the state Of Indiana. The original con-
clsve, No. III, acting under the regular
authority, appealed to Sir Alfred Creigh,
the acknowledgement of the United
States, who has issued a proclamation
announcing that the cOnclayes or
ganiZed in Kentucky and Indi-
ana by authority Of the State
