IVIIY WOMEX ( AXXOT 111 ?XAUi: At the late anniversary celebration of the Masons at Anatin, Nevada, the orator of the day thus discoursed the question ""Why cannol a woman be made a Mason 't" It has the merit of novelty at least. The speaker aid : "Woman sometimes complains that she is not permitted to enter our Lodg es and work with the craft in their la bore, and learn all there is to be learn ed in the institution. We learn that, before the Almighty had finished his work, he wa-j in some doubt about cre ating Eve. The creation of ever' liv ing and crcejiiifT thin- had leen ac complished, and the Almighty had made Adam (who was the last Mason) and erected for him the liuest Lodge in the world, asd called it 1'aridise No. 1. He then caused all beasts of the field and fowls of the air to puss before Adam for him to name them, which was a piece of the work he had to do alone, ho that no confusion might thereafter arise from Eve, whom ho knew would make trouble if she was allowed to participate in it, if he crea ted her beforehand. Adam being vcrv nure h fatigued with tl:e labors of his task, fell asleep, and when he awoke he found Eve in the Lodge with him. Adam being Senior Warden, placed Eve as the Pillar of Beauty in the South, and thev received their instruc tions from the Grand Master in the East, which, when finished, she imme diately called the craft from labor to refreshment. Instead of attending to the duties of her cflice, as she ought, she left her fetation, violating her obli gations, and let in an expelled Mason, who had no business there, and went round with him, leaving Adam to look after the jewels. The fellow had been expelled from the Grand Lodge, with several others some time before. But hearing the footsteps of the Grand Master he suddenly took his leave, telling Eve to make aprons, as she and Adam were not in proper rejralia. She went and told Adam, and when the Grand Master returned to the Lodge he found his gavel had been stolen. He called for the Senior and J unior Wardens, who had neglected to guard the door, and found them absent. Af ter searching some time, he came to where they were hid, and demanded of Adam what he was doing there, in stead of occupying his official position. Adam replies they were waiting for Eve to call the craft from refreshment to labor again, and that the craft was not properly clothed, which they were making provisions for. Turning, to Eve he asked her what she had to of fer in excuse ior ner unomciai, un ma sonic conduct. She replied, that a fellow passing himself as a Grand Lec turer had been giving ner instructions, and she thought it would be no harm to learn them. The Grand Master then asked her what had become of bis gavel ; she said she didn't know unless the fellow had taken it away. -Finding that Eve was no longer trustworthy, And that she had caused Adam to neglect his duty, and had let in one whoni He had expelled, the Grand Master having closed the Lodge, and turned them out, set a faithful Tyler to guard the door with a flaming sword. Adam, repenting his folh' went to work like a man and a good Mason, in ' order to aet reinstated aain. xiot so with Eve : she got an gry about it and commenced raising Cain. Adam, on account oi nis rei ormation, was permitted to establish Lodges and work m the lower degrees; and wrhile Eve was allowed to join in the work of charity outside, she was never again to be admitted to assist m the regular wrork of the craft. Hence the reason why woman cannot become a Mason. A man who married a particularly plump specimen 01 woman-iana, oe mg a bit of a wag told her one day that she filled the measure of his mat rimonial joy full, for she was beauti ful, duti-ful, and an arm full. , The Wabasha (Wis.)

No. 32. 2b Horace Greeley ; Sahib : Full of hope, I wont to Bos ton to submit to the Atlantic Works specifications for two iron bhips of 1,000 tons each, old measurement.

The calculations bad in tho meantime been made very carefully. The price was 125 currency, or $1)0, gold, at my option, per ton, uld measurement. The option whether the payment was to le made in gold or currency was to be decided by me within fifteen days after the signing of the contract. Mj' heart- the stout heart of a Fire Worshipper sank into my Pursee pat ent leather boots when L heard this price; my commission was gone; Es sebhoy's daughters, Diamond and Ilu by Bangles, were not worth ho much jxtsi'e livable!, if they depended upon the commission to begot from the pur chase of tho two ships; all vanished in to thin air as soon as 1 heard of the price; A A 1 I b," said I "look at the "offer Mare has made my Bombay friends through Forbes Forbees. liti offers to build and equip a thousand ton iron ship for 14 per ton old measurement, or in ,:o!d Fay 70,700; w hile you ak me S'JO.OOO for a similar vessel; I can not, therefore, entertain the offer.

"I know full well that it will not lead fc business, altho' you will do your duty and telegrapli; our ship building is iu the clutches of a rapa cious, monopolizing iron oligarchy, up held by class legislation, against which we cannot fight." "Indeed," contin ued the sahib, "we resemble very much that poor Frenchman, Lucas, who was attacked the other day by his own lions in their cage.

" To Horace Greeley : : Sajiid : 0 1 most renowned political economist, I open 'this' with a deep regret. ' I had such a surprise in store for you, which now is frustrated; namely : I liad made up my : mind to prevail on Essebhoy's uncle, Dhan jibhoy Waddi, to namo one of tho ves sels after you. I had - already procur ed carte do isite ; of; your benevolent face, and out of my own commissions I was going to appropriate enough for a Knit-ble. ligul'o-liCad. . . . : Behold, tho chance you have lost.

These Chinese, might even, seeing your benevolent faeo as repre sented in tho figure-head, have chang ed their long-standing, insulting cry of fang-Ivy against all whito men; this is nowdost, thauks to tho iron monop olies of this country. There is not tho remotest chanco of any iron ships that I cau buy here being named after you. But let mo givo you a little informa tion which I am Euro you will apxro ciato. "Sahib," Haul I tft the treasurer, "tell me, can Americans build iron vessels equally as strong aud durablo as tho Scotch r "Sir," said the wihib, "American iron is . unquestionably superior to English in strength, toughness, and liability to oxidation. Plates of Brit ish ship iron, obtained from wrecks, iu repairs of British hulls on our coast, have lwen found so far inferior to American ship plates, that it cau be demonstrated that thero would bo greater strength in one-mteenth less thickness of American plating. . "In that case," miid I "you would not use foreign iron for your iron hhips r "Decidedly and emphatically, No! wiid the Kahib; 'one-sixteenth less iron gives us at once an advantage of 0 per cent, in that material." "In that case," said I, "how does the tariff on iron injuroyou so much?" "You see," said tho Kahib, "ship plates have to bo made from pig-iron, and pig-irtfn is taxed $0 per ton duty. This, of cotiro, raises tho price of Amerieaii-mado iron. Thus, for in stance, when tho duty on pig-iron wan only 10 percent, in lbOl, wo bought American-made pig-iron for ?21 to $22 gold. The equivalent gold price now is from $:11 to f:j2a ton. This duty on tho crudest form of iron, or, in other words, the enhanced price that the American pig-iron is held for now, in- crca3 the price of ship-plates 2 cents a pound currcucv. But if- phr-iron from abroad was only subject to a $3 dollar duty, wo should have ship-plates at least l ccnt'-s a iKJuml cheaper." "In that ca:c," said I, "tho iron- . 1 t ..11. . 1 i... jja;;iu luuiT in nut tin? yfi'.iuvi. "No!" taid the sahib, "they are as bad off as we are. Tho iron-rollers, the iron foundries, all the iron-workers are badly vfX. All hinges ou the Stiil Kihib," said I, there is, if I am not mistaken (for I have seen it Homewhcre,) 1,700,000 tons of pig-iron consumed iu this country annually. Surely that is immense. "Ha!" mid the nabib. "how little do you know, cau you know of our country. If iron were cheap, we would consume double tho amount. We are forty millions of people. We always didu;e more iron than any other na tion. The nature of our lands, of our great country, of our facilities demand it of us. "Far from diminishing the home production of iron if there were a duty of $3 a ton, wo should actually produce more iron here;" tho only dif ference would be that the pig-iron men would cam less money. "If I could think," said tho sahib, "that a 3 duty would cIoko up our ig-iron production, I should bo the last man to ask it. No! I know tho iron industry would bo on a stronger, moro solid ba&is, and would thrive, llotirish aud expand much moro than it does now, . - "What amount is the prico of a thousand ton ship enhanced by this duty" said I? "Tho weight of iron in an iron shin of 1,000 tons with her outfit tho dutv, therefore makes a difference of .20,000 currency." "You have also," said I "besides this, to competo with foreign labor." To this tho sahib replied, and his rcq)iy 1 wouia particularly impress upon your mmd, O, urceley, sahib. He said :; : "Although the labor of workmen is nominally milch higher in the United States than in Lnglaud, it has been found that with the greater intelli gence and industry of American work men, and our ingenious application of labor-saving machineiy, American la bor is not so much moro costly as alone to turn tho scalo of cost in favor of Britain.',', Yours, ever admiring, : ; - A; Cuuiosiauoy.

KTATE NENATOIt AKI WALL MTItEET. A The bitter contest in the Legislature two years ago, over tho Erie Kailroad legislation teems to bo constantly com ing up in eomo form or other, and will not bo kept down by any efforfcj. Tho universal talk alxut tho mo of money on loth uides and tho corrup tion that was manifest at the time, led to tho appointment of an investigating committee by each House. Though nothing positive was proven against any member of either Houee, tho Sen ate com mi tteo developed the fact that several well-known liadieal politicians managed to carry off largo Bums of money ; that eomo of tho Senators had placed themselves in a auspicious position ; and tho public became con vinced that there must bo Borne fire where thcr'e wa.'j ko much 'ftmokc. It now appeani that there wero somo facts not known to the investigating committee at that time. A novel Kuifc growing out of this af fair was tried in the Supremo Court of this city Tuesday, a full report of which wo iublish this morning. It appear from tho fact3 developed in this trial that A. C. Matoon, at that time a member of tho Stato Senate, and also a member of tho special com mittee to investigate the issue of stock by tho Frio parties, furnished 'points of tho doings of tho committee to a Wall fctrect brolcer, with tho under standing that the latter was to operate upon them ia the fctrect and divide the profits with him. This operation, it litems, turned out to be a losing one, and now the Wall direct broker sue; the Senator for f ix thousand dollars, or one-half of the loss on tho" transac tion. The Senator was Tuesday placed on tho fe'iand, and his testimony is in teresting more, however, on account of what he rcfuey to cay than what he really admitted. The evidence unmis takably fdiows that the Senator fur nished what he claimed would be the action of the committee and thd infor mation which ho obtained by virtue of his position on tho committee, notwith standing there was a strong 'effort to prove to the contrary. Tho trial frives an insight into tho way matters hare been conducted at Albany bv the lladicals during the years cf tLeir supremacy. As one of the icquclj to that famous railroad legislation, tho trial is an interesting one, and does not rpeak any too well for the morality of Radical law-makers. The truth in the matter is that the points in regard to the action of the special committee, furnished by the Senator in question, turned out to be the reverse cf what he represented them to be, end they became so by Ids own vole in iho committee, in chort. he cavo information as to what tho .. . ... . . . committee would do, and then at tho lat moment, befcro tho report was made, reversed it by his own acts. Such, at least, way the general ncv. s- paper rumor al tlie urro. hat the result of tins trial may bo remains to beeceir; its only imp public is the view it jjn wrtauco to the rives 01 ltaoicai legislation.

Tho Portland Herald of tho 13th inst. contains the following : "A meeting of the Directors of the above named Railroad Consjany wa3 held at its oice ve&Urday. and busi- ne?H oi very great importance was transacted. Consulting the views of prominent monicd men of this city, the Directors resolved to put upon tho market three hundred thousand dol lars of first ' mortgage bonds of tho Company, at 58 cents on tho dollar, which feuin by a careful calculation, has been ascertained to bo sufficient to completo and equip the first twenty miles of tho road. As these bonds bear seven per cent, interest per an num, thoso who purchase them at 58 cents on the dollar will derive one per cent, interest per month on their in vestment. It is to be stipulated on the salo of bonds that purchasers thall not mako demand for interest payments until tho second year from dato of pur chase, and then if default is made tho road falls into the hands of the first mortgagees. Subscription lists will be circulated in Portland and west side counties for signatures on tho above terms, and if the aggregate sum of : 11 one nunareu ana sevcniy-nvo vnoa sand dollara in coin is put down oppo site responsible names, bonds will be issued, the money raised, and vigorous work .t ill be inaugurated early in the spring.
