@'O, Semi i-Tropl What do you mean? What have VIC done? Alas! Alackl That you should take us right between Our 'wilder'd eyes sudden whack! I'm sure we've been yuur lovers true Have let our fri-ky nuses sing.
 Hay, praised yo.r ba.my skies Of blue. Yd7sez5we.s, your bowers, yol, every Have whispered to .lee many taie; Have dotted on thee as bride, Compared thy gifts to Eden's vale, (With much advantage to thy sidc.) Have overlooked some little faults = Some fond and foolish ways you had Some little slips and skips and halts. And now-it really is tOo bad! AS in dreamy trance we see The ice-panes crash beneath our feet, A dazzling gleam OCT hill and lea,- .. White-shrouded, shivering citrus tree; And snow-balls flying in the street, And every night thy frosty breath Comes laden with the chill of death. I do believe, upon my soul, That reckless, restless Jeems Bennette Is bringing home the icy Pole A price within his swift Jeannette. To strike us so, with sudden pop! How could you, cruel Semi-Trop? Now here is frost, and snow and ice,- O-and blazes, ain't it nice?

THE REGENT MASONIC FIND.
What a Careful Examination of the
 Embienls Is said to Snow.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27th.-Following is q cabIegram to !he World.
 ALEXANDRA, Jan. 36th.-Dr. Fsnton, a highly instructed Mason, has finished his careful examination of the foundations of the Obelisk, and confirms Lieutenant Commander Garring's discovery of Masen- ic emblems, which establish the relations of many ancient Egyptian monuments Fanton declares that Hiram's version of Masonry, which originated with the con- struction of Solomon's Temple, is dis proved by the revelations of the obelisk. The Masonic emblem of [" Life and the Sum-" beyond doubt, is identical with the monument of the Egyptian god, Osiris. This proves that Masonry originated with the construction of the pyramids, or at least with far remoter period thar t'.- construction 0t lhc o5el' l5er of blocks comprising the ae "eli as their position an. eHt indicate that the ancient ia with the higher degrees -at least as high as the eig gree Many peculiar emblemS .#. ooo by Caring, were fully explained Dy Eau ton from Masonic point of view. This discovery furnishes a clew to other inn portant discoveries; not only under the fallen obelisk, but also in other parts of Egypt, rendering probable solution of the mystery of the construction of the pyramids. Among the discoveries were found perfect cube and other Masonic embems. Caring who is member of the Masonic fraternity, entirelty approves Fanton's explanation, and gives this dis patch his entire appreciation.

LAWS RELATING TO TEIE

Interesting to Writers
 i Several bills affecting the press
 gaEa oaen introduced, Grove l..
 .4u.1l's RetractiOn bill is again

 unpo ad it at the last session,
 a.s no doubt, will do so again.
 s ut the application to the press of the code of morals which prevails between gentlemen. If one man has falsely accused mother it is his bounded duty, and should be a spontaneous and
 Cieasurable act to make the anende honorable forthwith. The rule, which in honor, is so bind ing upon private gentlemen, ought at least to have equal force
 with the gentlemen of the press.
 l. has, and for them no retraction
 law is necessary. But there are
 skunks of the press, not being .impelled to do a just act from good conscience, ought to be
 forced 10 do it from fear of the 'aw. There is another, and low CT reason, why the RetractiOn law would be an advantage. It
 would practically annihilate libel suits. Few men would be founsl to pursue a criminal prosecution if this more speedy and satisfac- tory remedy were at hand.
 Another bill relating to the nress nrovides that the full name .1 .he eat writer shall be printed
 -a pot of every editorial, or ol..iua1 article, w1io'. ezsprz5sss an opinion, or draws any deduc- ton from alleged facts. Among actual writers of merit this bill will surely find favor. It is calcu. lated to exalt and dignify their profession, which in very truth is sadly Tn need of some elevating process. The man who writes over his own signature will write with a due sense of responsibility. If the power is in him he will do justice to his subject, to his employer, to his readers and to himself. If he has capacity he will soon be known and appre- ciated, and in the end he will re- ceive greater financial and social recognition than is at present vouchSafed to the men who to- day do other mems thinking. Such a law would do much to take away from the American press the scandal which attaches to it, that it's editorials are flip pant and shallow, and not always | calculated to subserve their tone, their highest, and their best pur- pose, of soundiy educating and | rightly, directing the public mind. The pen is mightier than the sword. Yet, while the sword brings rank, station. honor and high rewards, hs who wields the pen, though he open whole storehouse of knowledge and ex- perience to his readers, and be gifted with rare qualifications not given to one man in ten thousand he is nevertheless relegated to a back room, Where he is Overworked | and underpaid. and when he goes out among his fellows is most | likely to find that he occupies but | an undefned and uncertain social status. The liberty of the press" ought to include the liberty of it's most valued members to win whatever of name, fame and for tune, their abilities and. expert ence entltle them to. At present it means anything but that.

of the bird? Of course there were
 various answers, but finally there
 was a general assent that it was
 a robin. Then the word was
 written upon the board in vari2us combinations, such as; '.e trobIn has eyes. The roJ

 robin has rcataar5 t0 hee. ~ ] warm The robin can hop
 lrobin can Gy. The robin has ] red breast"
 The lesson was full of interest
 to the pupils, and, by the time if
 was through. the youngest child
 in the class could comprehend
 not only what robin. Was, but how to spell and write alI the
 words with which the robin was combined in the exercise upon the
 blackboard. The next exercise
 was writing. The teacher gave copies upon the blackboard; not of straight marks and pot-hooks,
 but tul 'nteEces; and every pu- pill was requested to write them
 upon the slates provided. II W.,s wonderful to see the precision
 with which these young children followed the lines upon the black board and transcribed them upon their states. In class of sixty, all of them under seven years Of age, there were at leas5 forty
 whose cnirography was better than that or the average grad uates of our grammar and high schools; and there was only one W',07e w0rr lfi not sh~~' tre possession of the faculty e.- sorvati3n and. from that make t;r- EI-t-oias5 Fenuau. k quantity of sentences written up- on slips Of paper were then djstri- buted from a box: each pupil se- lecting one, and they were read without hesitation by all the pu- pills in turn, without difficulty or hesitation. A class in arithmetic was next trained in similar course of exercises. The teacher wrote upon the blackboard nu- merous combinations of figures to show the proficiency of the pupils in a knowledge of numbers. All of the pupils had been trained in the simple rules of arithmetic by object lessons, in which beans, corn, bits of cardboard, etc., were the factors. It was an easy and delightful task to teach arithme- tic in this,,way. Here are five beans; take two away and how many remain? Here are three boys, each with three apples; how many have all of them to- gether? If they give away five of them, how many will be left? With such questions as these the children were beguiled into the solution of arithmeticaI problems without knowing it, and it is no congregation to say that, by this mode of culture, the whole class, without committing to memory a single rule, were farin advance, Tn an absolute Knowledge Of arithmetic, of scholars three or four years their seniors, upon the old system. It was once said that there was "no royal road to knowledge" and the axiom has Eeen accepted as fact; but recent experiences have demonstrated that there is democratic road to knowledge-a sort of short cut over the obstacles of the old routine, and that the rising gen eration will obtain the wisdom and information which will fit them for the cares and duties of life far better than their progeni- tors were fitted by the ancient pedagogues who taught by the book, and tortured the youthful mind by compelling the learning by rOte of arbitrary rules. which

The jackson Statue.
Nashville Banner.

In the report made by Judge John
M. Lea to the Historical S0ciety
about the Jackson statue, he unearth-
ed one fact that had escaped the no.
tice of most persons who lived at that
time, and was altogether unknown to
the younger generation. 1t Is the
fact that the Legislature of 1916, the
year after the death of Gen. jackson,
made an appropriation of $1,000 each
for statue Of Jackson and Washing
ton, to be paid whenever the citizens
got up by subscription enough money
to pay the balance they might cost.
Owing to various circumstances, this
appropriation was never called for. Is
it not possible under that static,
which has never been repealed. to get
the money from the State for the pur-
pose Of fitting up the statue with a
pedestal, made FROM the beautiful
marble o. East Tennessee

A very curious case, which may
possibly get into the courts, has arisen
lately in Australia. A catholic mer-
chant died some time ago, leaving
the sum of 81 900 TO the church "to
deliver his soul from purgatory."
Now the executor of the will refuses
to pay the legacy until proof is fur
nished that the soul of the dead has
actually been delivered.

NO rRouBLE ABOUT IT.

We find the following in the Elko Post
of yesterday;
The question has been mooted whether
Fair, after all his immense expense in Sc
curing a Democratic Legislature and carry
ing Nevada for Hancock. will be chosen
United States Senator. 1t is not easy to
be seen how the men whom his money
elected can well avoid voting for him with
out a breach Of faith: but were they to do
so. and choose some such Democrat as
Judge Kirkpatrick or Judge Hillhouse, in
stead of Fair, the people would rise up
and call them blessed, and pardon the
breaking OF the contract by which they
were bound to Fair.
We have seen several such squibs as
the above in the State Republican papers.
There is nothing whatever in the story.
Mr.. Hillhouse and all other possible can
didates are out Of the race. They con-
cede that the people decided in favor of
| Col. Fair, and they are willing that he
should bear off the prize without oppo-
| sition. We hear incidentally that Sem
ator Sharon, having failed to defeat Col.
Fair himself before the people, would
like to beat him with a Democrat. II a
few Democratic members could be in
duced to bolt and unite with the Repub-
licaus on a Democrat other than Colonel
Fair, no doubt the scheme would be I'M
dertaken. But the thing will not work
and may as well be abandoned in ad-
vance. No self-respecting Democratic
member OF the Legislature will entertain
a proposition to 60 back on Col. Fair.
