EFPCT OF 1HE FBANKINQ AMJENDMESf.
The amended franking law docs not itn.
prove the franking business very much.
In fact the amendment has developed m
evil of great magnitude that did not eslst
before. The amendment requires nil olU
cera privileged to frauk, to affix their own
personal signatures. This, of csursc, had
struck down the pcrcicious practices of
using printed fran'n3, and it has abolished,
to some extent, the equally pernicious
franking by proxy and by clcik. But the
trouble is that half the highest officers in
the bureaus of the different departments at
Washington have now to spend tiro or
three hours per day, simply writing their
names. These men got large salaries, and
nhould bo employed at something better
than the mere signing of documents, es
pecially when there is no need of this.
How much better it would be for the frank
ing privilego to bo abolished altogether,
and those officers who have to transmit
public documents, to be supplied with the
requisite number of postage stamps, which
could be put on by clerks, just as is done
in any other large business establishment ?

Masonry Exposed.
BT A 'VICTIM.
I have jUst joined the Masonic fraternity.
I nm a free and accepted son or brother,
or whatever it- is, of that ancient and
mysterious organization. I havo belonged
to many secret societies iu my tinio. I
havo been au Orangcmnn,' nnd a Son of
Temperance, and n Fenian ; and if I re-'
member ariglit, I once belonged to a gang
of coiueri ; but this Masonic arrangemcut,
rhis instjtuliou of tho compass nod square,
distances them all. I must tell you ot tlm
perils a txi triuls I luid to undergo to be
come a Masoa. On the evening in ques.
tiun I presented myself nt the door of the
lodge loom, No, 0 GG(), sign of tho skull
and cross bones. I was conducted to an
imto room, where five or six melancholy
ch;tps in sashes mid embroidered napkins
were waiting to rcccivo me. On my en
trance they all got up and turned a back
somersault, and then resumed their seats.
A big fellow who socmed to be proprietor,
thou said :
" Sinner from the outer world, ad-
yanee ? I advanced. " Will you give
up everything to join us t
" Not it t know it, 1
siu ; " tucro s
my v. ile nnu lourtcen nno
Another party told me to say " Yes," ns
it was merely a matter of form. SoI said
" Yes, 1 give up everything."
The fellows in the towels then groaned,
and said " 'Tis well." " Do you swear
never to rcvea'l anything you may see or
hear this evening to any human being, nor
your wife ? "
I said, " Ton my word, I will not."
They then examined my teeth, and felt
my lnuiclc. and made me put out my
fcnt'iif- nml then (.-oasied again. 1 said :
" If you donlt feel well I have -got a
little bottle here that -"
The fat man hero, took the VoUh from
me and told mo to shut up. He i.'u 10 a
voice of thunder, said ;
" Bring forth the goat ! "
Another fellow tLeu came up with A big'
clorh to bind me
No you don't, Mr. Mason," I said ;
' no" tricks ou tiavelers, if you please ; I
don't believe in playing blind man's buff
with a goat. I'll ride the devil, if you like,
hut I don't go in blind, i-'taud baud, or
I'll kuock you into smithereens "
They were too much fur me however so
L had to S'lbmit to be blindfolded. The
iroat was theu led in, aud I could hear him
making nn awful rack jt among the furnU
mre. 1 began to feel that I was urgently
wanted at homo ; but I was ia for it, and
euuld net help Myself. Three or four fob
!os then seized me, and with a demoniacal
!iiu"h iircbcd riie ou the auimal's back
teliiug me at the same time to look out for
-quul.s. I have been iu a good many
sera pes ; I lu' ve been in an electiou fight ;
I have been pitched out of a fourth story
window, I haveg iuc down in a railroad
collision, an 1 up in sf-earuboat explosion ;
but this little goat cx.-imion was ahead of
them all. The contour, lo-i thing must be
all wings and horns. It bumped me
gainst the tables and the ehu.'rs ood the
stove and the ceiling ; but 1 hui'R ou like
i Tr. jan. I turned lrnt somJrsi. ults until
thought it wus all over with inc. I was
just on the point of giving up whci the
bandage fell from my eyes, and (he 'oat
b.'iunded through the window witii a yell
like a Ciunaiiche Indian giving up the'
Jiest. I was iu a lodge of Masons. They
.vre dai.cing a war dance around a big
.skull, and laying leap lrog, and turning
hai,d ti) l ii gs, and the big fat fellow of the
iiLtCrioem v ar-itiiujirg on his head in the
uorner. J !e ctnet engineer ot the estab
lishment then put his thumb to his nose,
md s retching out his hnirer in tho shape
nf a fan towards me, commanded silence
The rest of the bretheiti did likewise, aud
were silent. Tho Governor then addiessed
me : " Jirot:ier jnouu, you are now one
jf us. You arc now a member of an ins
titution tat has lasted over ti n million
yeais. Pioiu this tiuic toi waiu your cou

I then t.iok the oath on a pack of cards,
stood the whiskey aud water all around and
1 was a Masou.
The New York Times in speaking of
the recent mass meeting of workiugmeu
there, says it was the first startling .inci
dent of a revolution which has long been
pending, and which is yet to be attended
with some remarkable developments.
These organizations, combined industrially
and politically, form a power which it is
not wise to iguore, who.se strength should
uot be under estimated, aud Is evidently
destined to be "successful.
General Davis officially reports at
headquarters in Sau Francisco, respecting
the Indian outrages in Alaska. The
Indians guil'y of the receut murders bo
long to a war lifee tribe culled Kake or
Kekoys, they have committed mauy mur
ders aud outrages, heretofore always escap.
caping punishment. Upon hearing of the
murder ot the traders, uen. uavis pro"
cecded in tho steamer .Saginaw to the
neighborhood of tho tribe, and finding it
deserted, ordered their villiages burned.
The tribe.was much frightened at the sum
mary manner iu which- they were dealth
with, and they promise to wreuder the
murderers, whom the Commanding General
determined promptly to execute. Gcu.
Davis anticipates no eeriom trouble,
aud feels master of the situation. The
steamer Saginaw is to bo properly fitted out
and proceed again to the neighborhood ot
the Kakes and further pauish them it the
murderers are Dot surrendered.

lie had charge of a steamer from Detroit
to IJutl'alo, one summer afternoon. At that

Smoke was seen nseend'ng from below,
and the captain culled out
" Simpson, go down and see what that
smoke is."
Simpson came tip with his face as pale

" Captain, the ship is on fire 1 "
Fire 1 fire I fire I instantly resounded in
all directions.
All hands' were called up. Buckets of
water Were dashed upon tho flames, but in
vain. There were large quantities of rosin
and tar on board, and it was useless to try
to save tho ship. The passengers ru-lied
forward, and inquired of the pilot, " How
far are we from land? "
" Seven miles."
l How long beforo we reach it ? "
" Three quarters of an hour, at our
present rate of Steam."
" It if ere any danger ? "
" Danger enough here see the smoke

Passeccrs and crew, men, women, and
children, crowded to the forward part of
the ship. john Maynnrd stood at his
post. The flames burst forth in u sheet of
fire ; clouds of smoke urote ; tho captain
cried out thrcugh his trumpet, "John
Maynnrd."
" Ay, nye, sir I " respotded tho brave

' How does she head ? " .
" South-east by east, sir."
" Head her south. cast, and run ber on

Nearer, jet nearer, she approached the

Again the captain cried out, " John

" Ay, aye, sir 1 "
" Can you hjld ou five minutes louger,

A Good One. During the first years
of the war, when chan-i O was scarce and
some large firms worn it suing currency of
their own, a farmer -went to a store in
neighboring towu and bo'ight some goods
and gavo the merchant a live dollar bill, ot
which he wanted seventy-five cents back.
The merchant couuteo' out the amount
and handed it over to the farmer. He
looked at it a moment acd theu inquired :
" What's this ? "
It's my curreucy," said tiio merchant
" Wal, lain't good for nuthiu' whar 1
live, said the farmer.
" cry well, replied the merchant,
" keep it till you get a dollar's worth and
bring it to my store, and I will giva you a
dollar oill tor it."
The farmer pocketed the charge anil
departed. A few days after he w ent into
the same store, and bought gooos to the
amount of one dollar, and after paying
over the identical seveutv five cents, he
took out a handful of pumpki.i seeds aud
passed them over to the merchant.
" Why, what's this ? " said tlie wer.
chant.
" Wal, said tba farmer, this is my cur
rency, aud when you get a dollar's worth,
brins; it out to my place aud I will give you
a dollar for it.
Tiik ii1 salvation of'men and of wo
men depends in a great degree upon home
surroundings. Men who never have good

nor easy rhairs nor tasteful rooms at home,
are pretty sure to patronize restaurants,
saloons, bariooniSj or the homes of happier

A Poor Memory.
There ore various reasons hy some
persons have a poor memory.
They may have overworked their brain,
and exhausted the energies of the nervous
system. A majority of the people tax
their minds to the utmost, and instead of
re-vi"orat'iDg themselves after exhaustntion,
continue their labors until their systems are
deranged by excessive mental application,
and the brain lores the power of receiving
or retaining the impression made upon it.
Many have disqualified themselves for labor
by overcharging their brains with mote
t han tl.ey can do. It requires presence of
mind, much firmness and decision of
character for on ardent and enthnsioetic
person to take rest w hen work presses upon
him. and opportunities for labor multiply,
and bo fvequently continues in busiuess till
sickness entirely disables him from pur
suing his calling.
Inactivity of mind 5b mother fruitful
source of poor memory. However strong
and vigorous the mind may be, originally,
unless exercised, it is like gold and silver
laid away in a napkin, which soon becomes
tnrnishqd, though if used daily they would
be bright for years.
Irregularity of life is nnother reason for
poor memory. It persons are subject to
extremes, sometimes getting up early and
sometimes late in the morning ; if they in.
d'.ilge in excesses of any kind, or trifle
with their orgnhization bo as to impair its
power, they cannot expect to have clear
ideas on any subject especially a good
memory. It is important to live syste
matically and methodically, if we would
preserve tho brain in a good condition.
Dissipation spoils the memory. When
the nervous system is over stimulated with
alcohol, tobacco, opium, or by anything
that excites the brain the result is unfortu.
