Brother CRANsroy -
We held our first grand meeting this
evening. Brother James w. Curtis pre-
led. This was the first effort to galvan-
izs the order into being again, but like all
galvanzing processes, it proved utterly
abortive. We had only eleven brothers
present the fact is, the Order is as defunct
as dead jackass, and it is entirely useless
to hope for resustication. 1t grew rapidly
for while, and through il a few obscure
men were brought forward, and placed in
public positions where they have only made
themselves ridiculous, and consequently
have become the laughing stock of all sen =
sibIe men.
No business was transacted this evening
Brother Curtis, brother Of the Aldermen,
said that as ii was rather a slim look, he
moved tc adjourn to next Tuesday evening;
so we adjourned accordingly.

AMERICAN JEws.-The San Francisco
Sun, in very sensible article upon the
present condition OF Jews, closes with the
following paragraph
The American Jew is only less proud Of
his country than his religion. TO say that
he is mere dweller upon the soil because
it affords him the means of support, is TO
libel the most noble traits of his character.
The graves OF his ancestors are around him.
His heaven is as near to him on the shores
Of the Pacific as upon the sacred Mount Of
Olives or within the classic walls OF Jeru-
salem. His God is omnipotent, omnipres-
ent and omniscieni. He has knelt before
that awful presence alike on the deserts Of
Arabia and the frozen zones of Siberia !;
and why should he here--where the law
recognizes his religion and his political
privileges, withhold an affection to which
he is impelled by every consideration Of
prosperity to himself, and future happiness
to his children
His respect for on laws is shown in the
fact that he seldom violates them. Hi,
wealth has gone towards building up and
enriching our cities. He cultivates the
arts, and goes heart and soul with our ac-
tive citizens in every useful enterprise
He quarrels but little heads a mob
never You will find him in our courts of
justices, on the bench, at the bar, in the
jury box, but seldom ever arraigned for
heinous criminal offence. This is the
American Jew. Let his good qualities be
initiated his bad ones should be forgotten.

A THnILLISG IscIDEHT.-Some years
since we were student OF medicine in .
neighboring State and, with q number of
associates and highly respected class mates,
were attending course Of private lectures
under the direction and instruction Of gen.
tlemen Of extensive experience and OF uu-
surpassed scientific attsinmenis and skill.
During the course, medical and surgical
cases were investigated, prescribed for, and
lectured on before the class clinical de-
monstrations and lectures at private houses,
and dissections whenever subjects could be
by any means whatever, obtained. We
were assembled an one dark stormy eve
ming, in the lecture room. A lecture by
the Professor Of Theory and Practice of
Medicine was progressing, when a feeble
, rap on the outer door Was heard. The
porter, whose duty II was 10 attend and an
swer, and report all business calls, imme-
diately announced a man in waiting, and
that he hade dead body in his wagon under
the shed, and if the Professor ,r the stu
dents wished one fresh from the grave and
but recently deceased, he would dispose OF
it at fair compensation. A bargain was
at once made, The price demanded, $50, was
paid, and the body deposited on the table.
The lecture, of course, was interrupted,
but as soon as this matter was disposed of
the lecture proceeded. At the close OF the
lecture, however, it was proposed and de-
cided to dissect the body. 1t was disrobed
of its grave clothes, and To- behold the
body of young lady, even in death OF un.
surprising beauty; and it seemed, on first
view. more in state of calm and placid
sleep than of death, an Involuntary all
were still and hushed as the grave from
which the body had been taken, lest
she should be awakened from peasa mt
dreams. No sculptor could mould or i'm
agination conceive form more beautiful,
more perfect Than the angelic form before
us. No member OF the class could raise
the knife as token Of commencing the
task of dissection. No one could mark or
mar form so lovely. But horror of hor-
rors One ol our most intelligent and pro-
missing associates, whose attention had been
diverted during the act of uncovering the
body, took his place at the table. Aud shall
we forget he hear,-rending scene that
followed ? No. nsper!
This young nan was about closing his
course of study, and had promised his heart
and hand to an interesting and dearly loved
young lady in neighboring village, fondly
expecting, as soon as he could establish
himself in business, to be united to her in
marriage But about one week prior to this
evenliul evening, after short illness, she
died, ard it was her body on the table be-
fore Us The first glance on the remains
Of the lovely female, by this student, he re-
cognized it, and with a most unearthy
groan and sh rick, fell to the floor, and that
moment his reason took its flight. never to

U. s. Brig Porpoise Supposed to be Lost

the following extract from a letter from an Off.
Ger of the U. s. steam frigate Powhatan, dated
Hong Kong, January IA:
We have great fears that the US. brig Por-
poise is lost, with all on board. She sailed
from here with the Vincennes early in Sep.
TENDER last, and when nine days out parted
company with the ", since when nothing has
been heard of her. The two vessels, in caee Of
being separated, were to rendezvous at Bonin
island. The V~incennes, shortly after her ar.
rival there, experienced a terrible gale of wind,
and although sheltered from the sea by the
high land around, it blew so hard that she was
obliged to put down four anchors to keep from
being driven ashore; and even then they
thought her masts would be blown out of her.
It is feared that in this gale the Porpoiss may
have foundered at sea. The Vincennes waited
a number of days in hopes Of her arrival, but
she came not, and the V. continued her cruise.
