The experiment of growing ginger is like

easily grown there, the soil and climate being
suited to its culture.
Paper-making from the palmetto tree has

Great Southern railroad line. From the
principal points of Texas to Louisville it is
over one hundred and fifty miles shorter
and many hours quicker than any route via
St. Louis. 1t is also shorter and quicker to
Cincinnati and all points East. II is the
only route by which we can take in the great

GENERAL PRESS REVIEW
Masonry and InHdeiity.
st. Louis Post Dispatch.


The Free Masons of France have decided
that belief in God is not essential to fell
lowship with the order but the Indiana
Masons hold fast on to the old order of things
and have settled the que 'tiop ofintldelity very
thoroughly, as far as their atheist members
are concerned. MIR. Chainey, some time
pastor of the first Unitarian church, of
Evansville, Indians and belonging to the
Reed Masonic lodge, recently astonished his
congregation by the announcement that he
had quit believing in God. He also denied a
great many other things, and promptly
stepped down and out of his pulpit, leavl ng
off his care of souls. This was some time
ago. but his change of creed, or his absence
OF creed, was discussed acridly by his
friends, and it was proposed at the time that
he be expele from the lodge. Nothing was
done at once, however, and the matter re ted
for about month, when Brother Chalney
was tried and expelled, the Masons holding
that belief in God was the first essential OF
fellowship with the order. This was not the
unanimous idea of the members, but 1t GER
tainly WAS the view of the majority nd
though all of the charges brought were ~
sustained, the unbelieving brother was tuiAtd
out for sun Masonic conduct" Several 9TH
ers who followed Mr.. Chainey into the
abysses of materialism are also to be ex-
PEELED and the Masonic order in Indiana GER
tainly has purged itself of atheism as fer IT
it possibly can. Many. members of the or,
der, however, claim that want of belle !,
in Deity is not denial OF
Gods existence, and hold that
belief in personal God is not requisite
of the mysteries. These Masons point 70
France where the usual questions asked the
candidate as to his religious creed are omit
ted wholly. For time French-made Ne
sons we're refused recognition in other grand
lodges; but all that has passed away, end
they are now on the same footing as the most
believing brother in America, Other Masons
say that the queries as to belief in God and
in a future state were injected into the liturgy
two centuries ago. The question as whole
can only be settled by the grand lodge of In
diana, to which it is travelling on appeal ;
and, as the matter will receive full argument
and wise elaboration, we may expect to have
soon settled the question; Is Masonry be-
coming tainted with inadelity?

Probabl y no city in the world outside of
London and Paris can show as much private
wealth as the city of New York. The richest
man in England at present is the Duke of
Westminster, whose income from London
property alone is estimated at 100000. His
rural land estate yields some el00, 900 more

practically sole owner of the great properties

Their. Jay Gould now ranks high among
New York millionaires. He is estimated at
$25, 900, 900, and bids fair, if he lives ten or
fifteen years longer, TO double his present for

bly, to-day the schrewdest railroad manager
and the boldest speculative operator in these
United States. Edward Ii. Green represents
another great railroad fortune, estimated at
over $20,000,000. He is the chief owner Of
the great Louisville and Nashville combina

at S20,000,000. In April, 1876, Corne!ia NJ.

If tho census returns ia regard to st
Louis Is correct the city has fallen very
much behind what its cit liens suppos d it
would show in the matter of population; if
the returns are incorrect, as we believe, a
great injustice has been done the city; but
under the supposition Cloud rests over the
city which it is necessary it should make an
effort to remove. To counteract the bad eff
feet of the census the ci.y must make more
than ordinary efforts not only to hold what
it has got, but to increase It's business and
its population.
In no way can it do this more eaectually,
more thoroughly and more permanently
than by building up the southwest. The
southwest is magnificent extent ofcountry,

Louis and San Francisco road may fairly be
considered one Of the most important of the
agencies st. Louis has to work within the
future. Ifany road ever did belong to any
people it belongs to ST. Louis. If ever fair

terprising people, the southwest lies open to
ST. Louis. If ever the future of a city was
assured, the future of ST. Louis is assured by

The special commission of three experts
sent to Demerara to inquire into the frauds
in artiticially coloring sugar have returned
and submitted a long report to the secretary
of the treasury They say that no secret is
made in Demerara among the planters that
sugar is artihcially colored for the United
States markets, and that these frauds are
much more general than was supposed.
Sugars exported as No. IL TO l6, DIS, to

the polariscope test, instead of showing a
saccharine strength OF 95 as they should, 90
AS high as 90. The synopsis Of the report
does not give any clew as to how the colorng
is done, but we suppose that it is by adding
to the sugar proportion of burnt caramel
or dark molasses. The treasury officials say
that this report justifles the secretary of the
treasury in prescribing the polariscope test.

We are pleased to observe that our
neighbor, the Times, takes the proper
view of the bill before the Legislature
to reorganize the State University. Its
real effect will be to destroy the insti-
tuition and should be killed at once. Its
object is to thwart the will of Col.
Boyd, and perhaps to force him to re-
sign, although it is due to his personal
exertions alone that the school has been
kept alive so long. The men who are
engaged in this work cannot compare
to him in the experience necessary to
handle the subject intelligently. And
those of them, too, who are connected
with the institution owe their places to
his recommendation. They, therefore,
add the sin of ingratitude to their ignor-
ance and incapacity. We do not
believe that the Legislatures is prepared
to undo the work of the most con-
spicuous, the most energetic and the
most devoted educationist in the State.
Hence we cannot believe that this bill
will pass.

We copy with pleasure from the

of our worthy State Senator, made by
Il correspondent of that paper in con-
nection with the congressional nominal
ton from this district:
OF the many who are worthy and
competent, none can show better
record in the past, or fairer promise
for the future, than the Hon. Thomas
Y. Ably Of Ouachita, to whose wise
counsels and untiring efforts our dis
trict is largely indebted for its redemp-
ton from Radicallsm, and our parish
for the addition Of twenty votes to the
four heretofore cast in Congressional
Conventions. A gentleman of the pur-
est honor and patriotism-of marked
nbility-of answering Democracy
ever ready to sacrifice personal aims
for public good; a ripe scholar and an
able statesman, DIR. Ably possesses in
an eminent degree the qualities most
needed in Congressman, and if NOM
mated would receive the hearty and
enthusiastic support of the party
throughout the district, and would
serve with honor to himself and his
constituents.

TIE STATE UNIVERSITY.
tShreveport Tillles.l

A bill is pending before the Legisla-
ture to reorganize the State University
at Baton Rouge. Its object, we under
stand, is to change entirely the system
under which it mas achieved whatever
success 1t has commanded. This action
on the part of those who have the
measure In charge Is In direct opposi-
ton to the wishes, and against the pro-
test of the president, who has been con-
nected with the institution from the
day it first opened, as well as of the full
board of supervisors, some of whom
were in the first board that was ap-
pointed to manage its affairs.
Thus while the old friends ofthe insti-
tuition are unanimous in opposition to
change, those who have set on foot
this pretended reform are new men,
whose interest in it Is of late date, and
whose familiarity with its wants is too
limited to give them a superior claim
to consideration.
That Col. Boyd is opposed to any
change Is sufficient reason for every
friend of higher education In the State
to be opposed to it also. That he is
not only not consulted by the reform
ers, but is entirely ignored, is a sufh-
cient reason to cast suspicion upon
their attempted work. He has given
more than twenty years OF his life to
education in Louisiana and to the
building up of this school. He has kept
it alive by almost superhuman exertion
to the present tilne-has chung to it
through evil and good report as q
mother clings to her first-born. Any
other man, surrounded by the difficult
ties which he has overcome, would
have let it die long ago. He has refused
lucrative offers at home and abroad just
| to save this school. If, therefore, the
object of these men is SO to change the
| school as to make it uncomfortable for
the present president to remain, as we
strongly suspect, the sooner the bill is
killed the better. If the institution is
not enjoying the highest degree OF pros
perity now it Is no fault of Col. BOyd's,
but of the Legislature that has had u
tendency to cripple his efforts and re-
tard its progress to that point of emf
hence fondly anticipated for it by its
earlier and best friends. AS it is, we
| have no guaranty that 1t would live Il
| month under any other system or
under the management of any other
| man.

"Ifmen knew" says London Soci-
iety, "ttat their own designs are as
plainly seen through as they themselves
see through the schemes of their
neighbor, there would be more truth
and less of shame in the world. No
one ever lowered himself by openly
admitting what his means really were
and the actual position he occupied in
the social scale, while every man who
has pretended to be other than he was
has been found out and has made him
self the subject Of ridicule. There is
nothing despicabte in truth; it Is only
shame and pretence that are unworthy.
If you are poor there Is no necessity to
vaunt your poverty; but you deceive
no one but yourself in affecting to be
rich, while the day Of reckoning will
assuredly come"
