Saturday Night.

Saturday night makes people human,
sets their hearts to beating softly as they
used to do before the world turned them
into war drums and Jared them to pieces
with tattoos. The ledger closes with a
crash, the iron-doored vaults come to
with bang and up go the shutters with
a will, click goes the key in the lock. 1t
is Saturday night and business breathes
free again. Homeward, no the door
that has been ajar all the the week gent
ly closes behind him-the world is all
shut out Shut out2 Shut in rather.
Here are his treasures, after all, and not
in the vault and not in the book-save
the record in the old family Bible-and
not in the bank. Maybe you are bach
elor, frosty, and forty. Then poor fellow
Saturday night is nothing to you, just as
you are nothing. Get wife, blue.eyed
or black-eyed, but above all, true>eyed.
Get a little home-no matter how little
"a sofa, just to hold two or two and a
half and then get two or two and a half
in it of Saturday night. and then read
this paragraph by the light of your wife's
eyes, and thank god and take courage.

California wild Goose Story.

The large fiOcks of geese that are con-
stantly passing over the town are fire.,
quently shot at, but they generally fiy at
too high an altitude to be reached by the
leaden missiles. Sometimes, however,
the shots take effect The other day we
were watching flock flying southwark,
when the report of a gun was heard, and
we saw one Of the geese begin to fall
slowly. The Others, perceiving that their
comrade was wounded, uttered shrill
cries OF distress, and about a dozen OF
them flew under the wounded bird. hud~
ding together so that their backs formed
a sort of bed. on which the wounded one
rested. They bouyed it up for some time,
the others looking on and mauifesting
their concern by uttering loud, discordant
shrieks. Finding that their companion
was unable longer to accompany them in
their flight, they abandoned him to his
fate. and he fell into the arms of an ex-
pectant Chinaman.

COLOR IN MASONRY.
The Grand Lodge OF Minnesota Refuses
10 Recognize Negro Masonry.
Isl. Paul Pionser Prals.l

The whole of the forenoon, and q poll
ton Of the afternoon Of the Grand Lodge
meeting was devoted to the discussion Of
what is called the african Lodge" The
question of recognizing the colored lodges
has long been discussed by the Masonic
fraternity. Last year the Grand Master
alluded to the subject in his address, and
as the lodge had an application from the
Prince Hall lodge of Boston, and two from
two lodges here in the State asking to be
recognized, it was deemed best TO briug
the matter to a conclusion as soon as Dos
sible. Accordingly that portion of the
Grand Masters address which referred to
the question, and the three communica-
tons were referred to large committee.
Yesterday three reports we're made, one
by Mr.. A. t. C. Pierson, one by Aaron
Goodrich, and one by Mr.. G..swcld. The
two first reported in favor of recognizing
them. The whole question resolves
itself, according to the reports, into a
question of history. The two that agree
against Recognizing the colored lodges
affirm and maintain that the colored
lodges are now and never have been rec
ognized as belonging to the Masonic fra,
ternity, and all searched diligently the
Masonic history to ascertain whether or
not the colored brethren had ever been
taken in. Mr.. Goodrich goes to the old
est English law to show what a free man
is, and claims that none but free man
can be a Mason. Mr.. A. T. C. Persons
report was also quite long and also reach
es the same conclusion but by different
line of argument. The discussion was
brought to a close by the adoption of
three resolutions, attached to the report
of Mr.. A. T. C. Pierson, as follows:
Resolved, That the Grand Lodge of
Minnesota declines to recognize the Prince
Hall Grand Lodge, located at Boston,
Massachusetts, for reason of it's irregular
formation.
Resotred, That the Grand Lodge can
not recognize charters as having any
validity in this State, except those issued
by its authority; and that it cannot issue
charters except to such Masons as are of
its obedience.
Resolred, That color is neither a bar
nor Recommendation to the acceptance Of
the Masonic degrees in this Jurisdiction,
and that it is perfectly competent for any
lodge in this jurisdiction to make Masons
of cry P~-@'~a possessing the required
qualifications.
The vote by Which the resolutions were
adopted is 32l in favor of them, and I
against. which appears to be sufficiently
decisive to settle the matter.

Shifting of the Wheat Belt.
New Orleans Times.1


The St. Louis Republican publishes an
interesting article on the subject of the
culture Of wheat 1t claims that the
wheat belt is shifting from the North
western States to the more Middle, Wes-
tern and Southwestern States. The re-
suit OF wheat~growing in Minnesota,
Iowa and Wisconsin, according to Mr..
Oliver Dalyrimple, during period OF
twenty years, shows steady decline OF
production. Starting with a production
OF twenty-five to twenty-five per acre,
the yield inside Of five years DROPPED 10
nineteen to twenty bushels. In the usAt
five years the drop was to fifteen to seven
teen, and in the next five years it was to
ten to twelve bushels, until now it is esti-
mated that Minnesota will not produce
more than seven to nine bushels of wheat
to the acre.
IL is assumed that at this rate wheat>
growing will be abandoned in the States
nan'ed, and the attention of farmers
there turned to the production of corn
and other articles less calculated TO ex-
haust the soil. However this may be,
We have long believed it was only a ques-
ton of time for more southernly States to
take the lead in wheat culture as posses
sing the climate and soil best adapted to
the production Of that cereal. The flour
best suited to foreign commerce is made
from wheat grown in Southern Illinois,
Southern Missouri. Kentucky, Tennessee
and Kansas, and to this list of States
there will be speedily added Arkansas,
Texas, Colorado, New Mexico and Indian
country.

Marrying for Money.

The Rev. Geo. c. Baldwin very truth
fully says: "Gold cnanot buy happiness,
and the parents who compel their daugh-
tiers to marry for money or station, COM
NIT grievous sin against humanity and
God. And the woman who marries a
churl for his wealth will find that she has
made terrible bargain, that all the gilt
tering of heartless grandeur are phospho-
resent gatherings of heart wretchedness
that her heart will be gatherings of heart
wretchedness; that her heart will be
gilded misery, and her old age will be like
crag on the bleak side of a desert
mountain, where cold moonbeams some-
times glitter, but no birds sing, but wild
storms howl and hoarse thunders roar /;
and through the sweeping storms shall
be heard the stern voice of the great God,
saying, Your riches are corrupted. your
garments are moth-eaten, your gold and
silver cankered, and the rust Of them
shall be witness against you, aud eat at
your flesh a. if it we're fire."

mule walked about fifteen feet and stopped
Things wasn't acting right inside. He
began TO taste the smoke offire-crackers.
He laid his left ear around against his ribs
and heard something it was the crackers
having fun. The mule picked out about
three and a-half miles of straight road and
started. A negro met him about a mile
the other side of the alms-house, going
South. white with Precipitation, with
streams of smoke shooting out of his
nostrils, mouth and eyes, while his tail
stuck straight up and a stream OF blue
and green smoke, ten feet long, followed
IN the rear. Ike found his mule this
morning sticking half way through a
farmhouse near Paddy's Run, still
smoking. The man has got his family

hauled bis mule home when it got cold

n Man fn the PonitentIary for the
Crime OF Another,

AT the February term, 1874, OF the
Trigg Circuit Court, a man BY the name
OF Charles Mann was indicted by the
grand jury of the county for the crime Of
rape and was at the nextterm Of the court
tried for the offense, convicted and sem
fenced to confinement for a period of
twenty years in the penitsntiary, where
be now is undergoing the penalty of his
alledged crime. Mann protested his in
nocence, but in the face of overwhelming
testimony as to the fact of the outrage
ard the positive statements Of the main
witness for the Commonwealth as to the
identity Of the accused, he was convicted
by the jury, but few persons entertaining
any doubt Of his guilt.
Monday our Sheriff, Capt. W. ".
Campbell, received letter from a man
calling himself A. J. Brooks, written
from Lafayette, Ind, Jan, 9, 1877, con-
Tossing the crime for which Mann is now
suffering the penalty, and asking that
something be done to relieve an innocent
man from punishment
Brooks says he is the guilty party and
gives all the facts with scircumstantiality
of detail that almost forces conviction as
to the truth of his statements. His con-
fession Ia identical with the evidence OF
Mrs. Lotion, while the description Of the
person of the criminal answers perfectly
to that of Mann.
