Statistics for Girls.

A young English statistician who
was paying court to young lady thought
to surprise her with his immense erudi-
ton Producing his note book, she
thought he was about to indite love
sonnet, but was slightly taken aback by
the following question:
''How many meals do you eat every
day ?"
why three of course but of all the
oldest questions
"Never mind, dear I'll tell you all
about it in moment
His pencil was rapidly at work. At
last, fondly clasping her slender waist:
''Now, my darling. I've got it, and if
you wish to know how much has passed
through that adorable little mouth in
the last seventeen years, | can give you
the exact figures"
Goodness gracious What can you
mean?"
"Now, just listen,' says he, "and you
will hear exactly what you have been
obliged to absorb to maintain those
charms which are to make the happiness
of my life"
''But | don't want to hear"

At this the maiden revolted, and
Jumping up, exclaimed:

He gazed after her with an abstracteC

FDIroRs CLARION: With the exception of
the charge of eXaggeration your comments
on the Mississippi letter copied from the n.
Y. Tribune, are proper and correct, as Civ
ing a clear view OF the fOliieS committed
under false theories and fallacious eXpecta-
tiunS. Superiuduced 10y phIlanthophy in
some. and hate or cupidity in others, and
will meet the approval of all true citizens
of our State, but most OF them unhappily
realize there is but little, if any eXaggera-
tiou in the statement of facts contained III
that letter, aud are daily made to feel that
many of them do not so as far as the truth
will Justify. The free negro as a farm
lab rrer has proved TO be a most expensive
failure. as the present impecunlous condi-
tion OF all who have employed him, makes
painfully evident,
Freedom has reduced the efficiency OF
negro labor from five and ten bales of cotton
ante bellum to TWO and four now, ana
through his uncomfortable idleness and care
lessness, has largely increased the risk and
COS, OF that labor.
The fact you mention that the cotton
states furnish two hundred millions OF dol
J lars of products for export, goes far To
prove some of he statements of the Tribune
letter To be true, for we find but little II any
| of this large sum remains in the hands ol
| its producers leither landlords or laboTersi ;
| perhaps a little may stick in the pockets OF
| those who handle it in the markets, that is
! all {thiS country the South gets out of it.
| In referring to great benefits conferred by
| this great export, you should have used the
words money rings in connection with
country, for there YOU will find the sponge

WHAT A GRAND MASTER COULD NOT DO.
Here l. something taken from tho ad-
dress OF Grand Master Luse Of Iowa:
STArEMENr.-Ne have am Entered APP
prentice Mason iu our Lodge who is
splendid business man, good citizen,
wealthy, ana number one fellow. bat it is
impossible for him 10 learn the lectures and
stand the required discrimination.
QUERY-Can't you, as Grand Master,
grant Us IA dispepsation authorizing us %
confer the other degrees upon him, waiv-
ing the examination?
ANSWER. The Grand Master has power
to do almost anything except 10 furnish
brains for candidates, aud hc might do thlt
If he had them TO spare.
A CoNsCIENTIoUs use of the ballot-box is
the duty imposed upon every Mason. III
any one Is admitted In your Lodge who
should not have been. the fault lies with
yourself; 50 do not shitk It, or lay he upon
the shoulders of others.
The possibility OF having Bostou's Ma
sonic temple sold for debt, stures the Ma-
sons OF the State in the face. When the
building wa finished IN 1867, there was "a
debt OF S450OOO ON il, which was expected
TO be wiped out by January lst. 1850 This
year Will probably open with debt Of
S265,OOO which the Masous must shoulder,
il the would not have their property sAcri-
feed.
Bro. Rob MORRIS, Ii. D., is now visit
ing the Lodges in Indiana, delivering his
Lecture on "Mount Moriah and irs My-te-
ries.' We understand that the Brethren
turn out in force TO meet him. and give
him cordial reception.
NEGATIVES are necessary things in some
departments OF lie, bur unless a man has
some positive qualities, Masonry will
probably do him 40 good, and certainly he
can do Masonry none.
In

HAD you, and do you still have, "a sincere

lures! That was one OF the conditions of
your admission to the light of Masonry,
which should shine lOIth 50 us 10 be dis-

THE mystic tie binds men to the dis
charge OF certain duties not only to them

of Heaven Unless one is prepared to as
sumo these obligations and 10 discharge
them, they had better avail them-eiv OF
their privilege and not assume the bond.
THERE is no room for drones IN the hive
of nature, and such are unworthy the pro-

tural Injunction, ''lf any would not work,
neither should he eat" is good sense as well
as Masonry.

The Marvellous Stockings Now
Worn by Ihe Ladies of England.
From the Cardiff NALL

From the Cardiff Mail
In view of the belief that short dresses
will ultimately be worn, manufacturer;
have produced marvels in the shape OF
stockings. Indeed, many are quite
works of art. But the embroidery on
some of them is far mere elaborate than
pretty. In fact, stockings now form q
most important item in the toilet. The
old design of spear head is considered
to be simple looking for the present style
Hose of black silk or Lisle thread, EN-
Sroidered with white or colored floss
silk, are always in good taste. The new
kinds are embroidered up the front
and not at the ankles, as before Very
small flowers, such as forget me-nots,
looks far prettier tor the instep and leg
of stocking than roses almost as big as
sunhowers, which are not at all uncom-
mon. Spun silk and cashmere silk hose
can now be brought in every new and
delicate shade, to match the costumes
with which they are to be worn. Pale
pink, blue, beige and caroubler are the
most popular colors.
Fashion, like history, constantly re
peats itself, and, as regards the wearing
of flesh -colored stockings, the author Of
ella written in 1919. says: "A
fashion of pink eolored hose for ladies
comes up at this juncture. Oh ! the
conceits which we varied upon red in all
its prismatic differences. And the col
lateral topic of ankles. What an occa
sion for truly chaste writer, like our
self, of touching that nice brink, and
nounced," says Charles Lamb in refer
ence to these stockings, "that modesty,
taking her final leave of mortals, was
visible in her ascent to the heavens by
the track of her glowing instep; but
fashion is transient, and so is the mode
which has favored us. The ankles of
our fair friends in a few weeks began to
reassume their pristine whiteness."
That is not the least likely in our time,
1879, for white stockings are rarely even
seen indoors, far less in the streets and
the fashion of wearing shoes which dis
play so much of the stockings makes it
almost certain that the taste for colored
hose will be more enduring than that
Charles Lamb calls 1.-The transient mode

Almost extravaganza, and quite indescrib-
able in their elegance. They are made in
every possible color, with gold and silver
heels and embroidered in all styles with
gold and silver thread, or beads and pearls
likewise trimmed with rushes of lace, silk
and what not.
The instep is held in place by embroid-
cred bands of gold and silver clasps, or
by ornamental knots of bright ribbons,
made up in imitation of gay birds; lizards
ate the toes.

a Mother Denies Her Child.

New Orleans Times.
Mrs. Eliza Lagrange, wife of Denis
FOrrisier against Recorder of Births and
Deaths and others. This is a very pc
culiar case, and perhaps there is nothing
like it in the records of courts. The
plaintiff alleges that she has recently as.
certained that in book No u, folio No.
552 of the records of the Recorder of
Births, Deaths, and Marriages in this
city, there had been registered on the
3Oth Of June, 1852, the birth of female
child, which registry declares that on
that date personally appeared Mrs. Eliza
Baden (born Lagrange), who declared
that on the 18th of May, 1852, at 2
o'clock a. M, at her residence, was born
female child, named Eliza Baden, is
sue by legitimate marriage OF deponent
with Mr.. Robert Baden a native of Cow
ington, in this State. This registry was
signed by the said Mrs. Forrissier, then
Eliza Baden.
The petitioner alleges that she never
gave birth to any child, and that said
registry is false in every particular, and
that the signature is not hers. The pc
titioner alleged the facts to be that, some
time in June, 1852, she took a female
child to raise whose parents she did not
know. The child in question grew to
womanhood and married. This lady
came forward and defended the suit
when it was instituted, and for DAYS the
Court was engaged In listening to testi-
mony on one side or the other, going to
prove or disprove the facts as to whether
the woman who claimed to be the daugh-
ter of the plaintiff was really her daugh-
ter or not. Judge Rodgers, in an able
opinion, decided the case, and ordered
the plaintiffs suit dismissed at her cost.
