Could the denizens of Maine transfer them
selves suddenly from their balmy, genial, fresh
April weather to the burning sun of this SAN
dy peninsula, they would surely cry aloud for
circumference to the old soil and OCCASION
al chill of the retiring winter. The "Sunny
South" may look well in poetry, but practical
ly, the thermometer at 100 deg. Fahrenheit in
April is rather hot argument in favor of
more wintry region.
We in Florida are so far removed from the
scenes of exciting news, that politically we
rest in quiet and blissful ignorance of the deeds
of history which are being enacted at nation
al headquarters, except on the arrival of the
semi-weekly steamer from Savannah, when
we learn the news, chiefly from the New York
Herald and Neaos, and an occasional Tribune,
and indeed 1 am SO far civilized that surrcp-
titiously obtain the reading of the Press, as
one copy weekly strays SO far away from the
Forest City and SO we enthusiastically hear
what is transpiring among the workers of the
nation, and are of course moved with joy or
sorrow, as the work goes for or against the
grand work of civilization, right and justice.
The passage of the Civil Rights bill over the

Templar Masonry.
To the Editor Of the Pres i:

~ "sc 6tstT W 6S TssSs
This is an organization of Free Masons, in
Guiding or embracing those who belong to the
several orders of nighthood-Knights of the
Red Cross, Knights of the Temple or Knights
Templar, and KNIGHTS of Malta. 1t does not
Claim so great an antiquity as the Symbolic
Loage, dating its origin from period succeed
ing the advent of Christ; is founded on the
Christian religion, and the practice of the
Christian virtues" and Justly claims to be
Christian Order of Knishthood. In this.
as well as other countries, it embraces within
its fold many of the aged, venerated and most
prominent and active members of the Masonic
Fraternity. The Communicates of Templars.
whenever they have appeared in public, have
universally been looked upon with favor and
respect. The Order in our own State has,
within the past two years, added largely to its
numbers and it strength, and much credit is
due to the r. E. Grand Commander, who has
been at its head in this State jurisdiction dur
ing that period, for the energy infused into all
its teachings and workings.
AT the annual conclave of the Grand Body
held in this city on the LIST inst, charters were
granted to two new subordinate command
eries-"St. Albah" at Portland, and "Clare-
mont" at Rockland, and dispensa.ion to
"De Molay" at Skowhegan.
On the evening of Wednesday, the I'd inst,
st. Alban Commandery was duly constituted
and dedicated, and its officers installed in due
and ancient form; ceremony which was
never before performed in this jurisdiction, in
what is termed sample form," that is by the
Grand Commandery fully represented. The
beautiful and impressive services were con-

dinate' officers. the members of the Grand
Body, and volunteer choir of Sir Knights,

number of members of the Order.
The charter of St. Alban Commandery was
granted to thirty-fve Sir Knights, and its num-
bers will doubtless be Immediately increased
by the addition of thirty or more, who have
received the orders in it while it has been
working under o dispensation heretofore
granted. Its officers are: M 1r

their use. Those under the N. F. r. Associa-
ton are still boarding, which is very expen-
sive here.
There is an extensive revival of religion in
progress in the colored churches here. Meet
ings are held every day and evening, and those
coming forward for baptism are counted by
fifties.
There was a fire in the depot last evening
It was discovered about o'clock. Over
one hundred bales of cotton were destroyed.
Loss estimated at $4,000. The engine bell
rang about half an hour before the citizens
understood what it was for. There is not yet
such order in the fire department here as in
northern cities, or the flames might have been
extinguished some time before they were.

Preserving Roof Shingles.

Some people, after shingling roof, paint it
all over, with view to preserve the shingles.
Such a practice is a sad mistake. 1t only
makes the covering rot sooner than it
otherwise would. The water which passes
between the shingles of an upper layer runs
down till it meets the obstruction caused by
the paint that meets their lower end, and
there the shingles rot sooner than if it were
permitted to run directly of. Paint upon
roofs is a preservation only when each single
as it is laid, is painted the length of three
courses. The water then can nowhere reach
the shingles.
But about as sure a way to preserve shin
giles, and with little or no expense, is to scat
ter broadcast coating of lime or wood ashes
upon the roof just before rain. This will re-
move the moss and other fine stuff that i'm
pedes the passage of water and keeps the
roof wet or moist for some time, and enable
it to run off Immediately without obstruction
or delay.
On this subject received letter some time
since from an intelligent farmer and lumber
man on the Kennebec, from which venture
to make the following extract:
People who own buildings covered with
wooden shingles ought to be advised to take
some opportunity just before ram, to sprin-
kle lime on the root. They should put it on
considerably thick, so as to make the root
look white, and they will never be troubled
with moss, and if the shingles are covered
ever so thick with moss, by putting the lime
on twice it win take it. all off and leave the
roof white and clean and will look almost as
well as If it had been painted. 1t ought to be
done once ayear, and in my opinion, the shin
giles will last almost twice as long as they will
to let the roof grow all over to moss and
turze. l tried it on the back side of my
house ten years ago, when the shingles were
covered with moss and they appeared to be
| nearly rotten. 1 gave the roof heavy coat
of lime, and have followed it nearly every year
since, and the root is better now than it was
| then, and, to all appearances, if follow my
hand, it will last ten or fifteen years longer.
The shingles have been on the roof over thir-
| ty years. There is no more risk of fire sparks
from chimneys catching upon a roof thus
cleansed, than on one newly shingled. Those
| that do not have lime at hand can use strong
wood ashes, and they will answer very good
purpose to the same end.
The action of the lime is to cleanse the sur.
face of whatever would retain the water and
keep the roof moist which causes it to rot
How many homes have been burned by sparks
catching on the moss upon the roof in dry
time ! Not only, therefore, does the practice
recommended in the above letter preserve the
shingles from rotting, but it also preserves thu
house from destruction by fire. TRAN.
