London Telegrph.
On one occasion a lady was actually
passed through the degree of the craft
and emerged full Freemason. 1t would
appear that at some time during the sec
ond quarter of the eighteenth century
the meeting of lodge A used to be held
at Doneraile House, the seat of Lord
Donerails. in Ireland, his Lordship then
being Worshipful Master. Lord Don
| eraile had a sister Hon Elizabeth ST. Led
ger -afterward Hon. Mrs. Aldworth-
and the young lady so managed affairs
that she possessed herself of all the Sc
crets of the lodge workings.
Some say that the Hon. Elizabeth Sc
creted herself in a clock case, others
that she witnessed the working through
a crevice in the wall of the apartment
sacred to the mysteries of the craft.
What were the members of Lodge A to
do under the circumstances;
The constitution did not provide for
such a contingency ard it became nee
essary to create a precedent. Thereupon
the Hon. Elizabeth st. Ledger, only
daughter of Arthur, first Viscount Dom
eraie, was brought before the authori-
ties of Lodge No. A, and solemnly in

A Female Dude Rebuked'

From Washington Letter.
There is a class of those female dudes
in Washington who esteem it the prop
er performance to chatter in bad French
at all times and upon all occasions. A
bevy of these young women approached
Nine. de Struve, the wife of the Russ
ian Minister, at reception at the White
House, and began chattering in more or
less broken French, and she replied in
her rather lame English

not spael French, madame? I am sure
you must be able to speak it,
The Baroness gave them a keen glance
and replied Yes / speak French but

dent Though l speak English poorly, l
speak it here of course as well as 1 can.
The party was not dull enough to miss
the rebuke in the calm and lady-ike re.
mark, and the Baroness continued; I do
not like to speak French anyway. 1t is a
foolish and frivolous language, anu I
dislike it. Why should one use it when
one can express herself in English, which
is noblest and the best language in the
void, as America is the greatest and
grandest nation in the world. am
proud to speak the language of the Amer
leans"

Times-Democrat.
The United States Supreme Court de-
stroyed, the other day the last hope of
the polygamist Mormons, by deciding
that the provisions of the Edmunds bills
relative to the selection of jurors, which
prohibits Mormons from serving on iu-
ries in the trial of cases of polygamy,
was legal and proper. This decision is
not subject to reversal or appeal, and
leaves the Mormons no hope or prospect
of defying the law by polygamy. 'They
must either obey it or, like President
Taylor and other leaders, seek a refuge
in other lands" The Saints are begin
ming to appreciate this, as has been shown
by a number of them recently pleading
guilty to the charge of polygamy, on
the understanding that the government
would not punish them in case they sep
Grated from their plural wives, except so
Ear as providing for their support. With
the most vigorous leaders of the Church
and defiers of the law in exile-and there
are thousands of them who have thought
| 1t wise to leave Utah during the present
/ vigorous prosecutions--with the body of
the Mormons convinced that the presi-
dent, congress and people of this coun-
+ try are determined to suppress polygamy
and that they can hope for nothing from
the courts, and with so many convictions
and pleadings of guilty, there was never
a more favorable opportunity offered for
+ putting an end to the abuses of Nor
monism than the present, and it looks
/ very much as if that great end was to be
+ soon accomplished

Peace Assured.

There now seems to be no doubt OF the
pacific termination of the European troub-
les. Russia and England have arrived at
complete understanding, and the pros
poets of war fade. On Saturday last, 1t
was announced in London, on the highest
authority, that Russia sreply to England s
counter-proposals had been received. The
reply involves the acceptance OF the pro-
posals and practically settles in a salts
factory manner the whole question Of the
Afghan boundary. Both Maruchak and
Zulficar remain in the possession OF the
Ameer. The main features Of the work
of delimitation have been finally fixed, and
the Boundary Commission will settle the
details. The negotiations have been con-
Quoted in most friendly spirit on both
sides.
The Daily Ne,cs, in an editorial, says ::
Mr.. Gladstone has crowned his illustrious
career by again rendering the country a
signal service. We must not forget, now
that peace is secured. how near we came
to war such as this generation has not
seen. Neither mere obstinacy nor skill in
diplomacy could have averted it. The
task required combination of the highest
qualities which go to make up the COM
pick gift of craftsmanship.

only make nominations for vacancies from
those who have passed the best examlna-

j. 2. Meade was recently appointed
Postmaster at Hazlehurst, Copiah CO..
Miss, on the recommendation of Con-
gressmen Barksdale of that district. Ii
will be remembered that Clint. Matthews,
two years ago, the postmaster at Halle
hurst, and prominent Republican, was
shot down at the polls just after he had
deposited his ballot. The cause for the
deliberate murder was that he was a Re-
publican The Matthews family were
highly respectable and influential people
in that county. After the murder pub.
lie meeting was held, over which Meade
presided, when it was resolved that the
Matthewses must cease to actively partici.
pate in politics, and that il any steps
were taken to ayenge the death of post
master Matthews, they would be looked
after by the men composing the meeting
These facts were not known to the Post
master General until after Meade had been
appointed and commissioned On learn
ing the part he had taken iMthe tragedy,
Mr.. Villas promptly requested his resigna-
ton. The developments in this case show
the difficulties and embarrassments the
administration has had to deal with. and
how representative men from the South
do not hesitate to impose upon it. Presi-
dent Cleveland and Mr.. Villas will learn a
good deal in this line, before the eXpira-
tion of their terms of office,
