A vicious System and its Results, :

All merchants who have bought
goods in this market are aware that in
almost every line of trade there are
various discounts allowed upon price,
lists, according to amount purchased,
time of payment, kind of goods, etc.,
etc. In many branches Of trade are
combinations among manufacturers to
fix discounts SO that they will be uni
form, but there is scarcely shadow
of doubt that there is a wholesale sys-
TEN of cheating in these discounts
which places the dishonest upon bet
ter footing with purchasers than the
honest. This is done in various ways.
Recently manufacturer was asked by
the Supply Agent of certain railroad
to make a bid for particular article
of hardware. He gave his price,
which was the lowest allowed by the
terms of compact between all the man.
ufacturers of the article required. He
was told that another merchant could
sell it at a less price, and, on investi.
eating the matter, found that it was
true, though the bills were made out
at regular rates. The trick was to
give credit *'by error so much, and
thus reduce the price. Again, in an.
other case, a dry.goods firm was de-.
tecied in paying a cash commission to
buyer after selling the goods at an
apparently low.down price. The man.
ufacturers who enter into combina.
tions often find that somebody is cheat.
ing, and cheating is always traced to
the discount system.

a Lady-FreenlaSOn.

There is story current in regard to
a lady, who, a number of years ago
was made a Freemason in England,
under very peculiar circumstances, she
having overheard so much of the work
that it was thought best by those who
discovered her hidden near the lodge
to 0bligate her in order to close her
mouth. The London Freemason is au-
thority for stating that another lady
has been recently admitted to the mys-
teries. The following is the story
Countess Hadich has been received
as Freemason in a Hungarian lodge
under the grand Orient of Hungary.
The Countess is highly educated lady,
and, having studied and become well
versed in Masonic literature, she was
regularly proposed and seconded in an
open lodge, ballotted for, and in due
course was duly initiated. The Grand
Orient of Hungry however, declare
that the initiation is null and void, on
the ground that a woman is dis4uali.
fed from being a FreemasOn and the
curious question now arises whether,
as the Countess was actually initiated
she can be refused admission to her
lodge.

the freak originated purely in reading
