St. Tammanx.

The origin of the Tammany Society is
strange. Before the American revolution,
there were in the colonies various societies like
ST. Georges St David's St Andrews and st.
Patrick's national in their character. Thence
arose the idea of an American Association
which was established and took the name OF
St. Tammany, Tammany or Tanemund was an
Iroquois chiftain, SO old that he was known as
'tTanemund of many days" who was seen
the first convert to Christianity. There is
also tradition that Tanemund was Free
Mason though to what lodge or temple he be-
longed is not stated, and that at time oi
trouble and difficulty he made himself known
to one Jacques Morel, a free and accepted ma
son, telling HIM that he, Tanemund, was the
last of the craft of his race. The result was
that the Canandians devoutly believe that
Tanemund was canonized. This is not the
fact, for as far as we know, but one American
has been admitted into the Calender. st. Rose
of Lima, vet there are strewn all over the low

ter him. The American order took him az
