A Lesson in Japanese Etiquette.

A Japanese gentleman called upon a
Washington lady one day just before
luncheon. As it was q first and pre-
sumably ceremonious call, she natural
ly expected! il would be brief. To her
surprise, he accepted the invitation to
lunch, and that domestic rite over he
still stayed The hours wore on andhe
did not go. The lady was wearied be-
The lady's husband returned and still
the gentleman from Japan stayed on.
Ills was, as a matter of necessity, invit-
ed to dinner. Finallythe gentleman Of
the house relieved his wife for time in
entertaining this apparently stationary
visitor, but as the evening wore on he
became so tired and sleepy that he re-
tired to his own apartment, and the
hostess again screwed her courage to
the sticking and resumed the enter
tainment of the guest. At last, about
midnight, the japanese, with the most
elaborate and abject apologies to the
lady for leaving her, took his departure.
But the comedy reached It's denouement
the next day, when friend, in whom
the extraordinary guest had conided !,
told the hostess that he aid he never
had slch an ordeal before in his life;
that he was so tired, and he thought
the lady would never let him go, and
finally be was obliged to leave her with
out her permission. Then the hostess
learned that in Japanese etiquette the
lady receiving the gentleman gives him
the signal for his departure, and it is
very rude, in their code, to leave her
till she has done this.

At the regular meeting Of the Davitt
branch Of the Irish National League,
last Sunday evening,a fair attendance
was present. President McPartlin pre-
sided. Anglo-Saxon politics was han
died in most Efficient manner by Roger
Vail, who understood his subject thor
oughly Interesting extracts were also
read by the speaker from John Boyle
O'Reilly's article in North American
Review concerning the Irish National
question.
Christopher Gallagher moved that The
president be empowered to appoint p
cammittee to debate at the next Or sue
ceeding meeting the question, Resolved
That home rule would satisfy the Irish
people in the present crisis, and the
resolution was adopted.
The chair recommended that all
members of the branch support liber-
ally the Irish-American paper published
in Minneapolis, THE N NORTHWESTERN
STANDARD.
An earnest protest was made by Mr..
Vail against permitting an enthusiast
from coming before the league and intro
ducing extraneous questions. He re-
ferred particularly to the ex-secretary
of Louis Riel, who came before the
organization week ago to advance the
cause of Manitoba against the British
government. lie said the Irish had no
grievance against the Canadian govern
ment, and such speeches should not be
tolerated in the league room. He also
arraigned the advocates Of dynamite.
The Irish people, under the leadership
of ParneH, are engaged in legal con-
stitutional agitation, and in case the
present policy fails, then harsher
methods may be experimental with.
At present. however, he thought there
was no cause for Encouragement.

An Old SchOolmaster's Scheme.

Congressman Haynes, of New Hamp
shire, says: every session of Congress,
brings to Washington scores of men with
"a mission" of one sort or another-poor
half-daft fellows with claim or schem,
of some sort for relieving their impe
curiosity at the expense of the publ,
treasury. They are sometimes annoying
for you cannot reason with the man o
one idea, and that Ringing on misconcep
tons of law, fact and practice But to u,
it is the pitiful side that presents itself in
many of these cases. A new arrival thi!
year is an old schoolmaster from some
where up in Maryland, with scheme TO-
pensioning school teachers.
THE old man has spent his life in the
profession, and now, old and poor, broker
in mind and body, he feels that ne has
mission, and coming down to Washing
ton, he brttonholes Congressman and il
an apolegetic, pitiful way, suggests tc
them that there is as much propricty il
pensioning those who lay the foundation
of the nation MS those who save it. AnC
years may come and years may go, anC
the old man will probably come and &
just as regularly with each succeeding
Congress. There seems to be fascination
in pursuing hobby under the grea
white dome. And when he some ola,
fails to put in an appearance it may be as
sumed that he has been gathered to hi
fathers gone to meet the rewards viii,

man or the will of Congress.

The Only Female Precursor.

The Hon. Elizabeth st. Leger was the
only female ever initiated into the ancient
mystery of Freemasonry. How she OBJ.
tanned this honor we shall lay before oul
readers. Lord Doneraile, Miss st.
Leger's father, very jealous mason, held
a warrant, and occasionally opened lodge
at Doneraile house, his sons and some in
innate friends assisting, and it is said
that never were the masonic duties more
rigidly performed than by them. Previ.
Gus to the initiation of gentleman to the
first step of masonry. Miss st. Leger,
who was young girl, happened to be in
an apartment adjoining the room gener.
ally used as a lodge room. The room at
the time was undergoing some alteration.
Among other things, the wall was con-
siderably reduced in one part The
young lady having heard the voices OF
the Freemasons, and prompted by the
curiosity natural to all to see this mystery
so long and so secretly locked up from
public view, had the courage to pick q
brick from the wall with her scissors, and
witnessed the ceremony through the two
first steps.
Curiosity satisfied, fear at once took
possession of her mind. There was no
mode of escape except through the very
room where the concluding part of the
second step was still being solemnized,
and that being at the far end, and the
room very large one, she had resolution
enough to attempt her escape that way
and with light, but trembling step,
glided along unobserved, laid her hand
on the handle of the door, and silently
opening it, before her stood, ts
her dismay, a grim and surly tyler witt
his long sword unsheathed. A shrek
that pierced through the apartment
alarmed the members of the lodge, who,
all rushing up to the door, and finding
that Miss St. Leger had been in the room
during the ceremony, in the first parox
ysms of their rage, her death was resolved
on, but from the moving suppliCatioG 81
her younger brother, her life was saveo
on condition of her going through tn,
whole of the solemn ceremony she haC
unlawfully witnessed. This she con
sented to, and they conducted the beau
tiful and terrified young lady through
those trials which are sometimes NOR,
than enough for masculine resolution
little thinking they were taking into tn,
bosom Of their craft member that would
afterward reflect lustre on the annals O.
masonry.
The lady was cousin to Gen. Anthem:
st. Leger, governor of st. Lucia, who in
stituted the interesting race and the cele
brated Doncaster st. Leger stakes. Mis-
st. Leger married Richard Aldworth
Esq, of Newmarket. Whenever bene
fit was given at the theatres in Dublin o
Cork for the Masonic Female Orphan
asylum, she walked at the head of th'
Freemasons with her apron and othe
insignia of Freemasonry, and sat in thu
front row of the stage box. The hous
was always crowded on those occasions
Her portrait is in the lodge-room o
almost every lodge in Ireland. -Dal
