While the gastric juice has mild,
bland, swGetish taste, it possesses the
power of digesting the hardest food that
can be swallowed 1t has no influence
whatever on the fbres of the animal, but
at the moment of death it begins TO eat
them away with the power of the strong
est acid.
There il dust on sea and land, in
the valley and on the mountain top
there is dust everywhere. The atmos-
phere is full of it. 1t penetrates the
noisome dungeon and visits the deepest
and darkest caves of the earth. No pal
ace door can shut it out no drawer is
so secret as to escape its presence.
Every breath of wind dashes it upon the
open eye, which is not yet blinded, be-
cause there is fountain of the blandest
fluid in nature necessarily emptying
itself under the eye-lid, which spreads
itself over the surface of the eye-ball at
every winl,ing, aud washes every atom
of dust away.
This liquid so well adapted to the eye
itself has some acidity, which un
der certain circumstances becomes so de-
cided as to be sealding to the skin, and
would rot away the eye-hds were it not
that along the edges of them are little
oil manufactures, which spread over the
surface coating as impervious to the
liquids necessary for keeping the eye
balls clean. as the best varnish is imper-
vious to wilter.
OF the sixty-two primary elements
known in nature, only eighteen are found
in the human body, and of these seven |
are metallic. Iron is found in the blood |
phosphorus in the brain, limestone in
the bones, dust and ashes in all Not |
only these eighteen human elements, but
the whole sixty-two of which the uni
verse is made, have their. essential basis |
in the four sustanees-oxygen, hydrogen,
nitrogen, earbon-representing the more
familiar names of Ere, water, saltpetre
and charcoal. And such is man, the

Louis Hercules Timoleon, Duke of Cosse
Brissac, accepted the Office in l776, and
died in the cause of royalty at the be-
ginning of the French Revolution. The
present Grand Master is Bernard Ray
mond Fabrc Palaprat; and colleges, is
said, exist in England and many of the
chief cities of Europe.
The " Charter of Transmission pre-
served at Paris is forgery, and the
memorials ludicrously worthless. The
list of successive Grand Masters is utter
" apochryphal When Palaprat in
vented The Order of the Temple" at
Paris, he invented the charter and other
documents. We have the complete his
tory of his "0rder," and intend, some
day, to publish it. 1t forms part of a
work entitled Documents and Papers
Connected with the History of Masonry
in France" of sufficient matter to make
three volumes, long ago translated and
compiled by us, but which no one thinks
he can proftably publish, in consequence
of the small demand for anything really
useful in Masonic literature.

we find an article furnished by the Tyler
of Lodge at Amiens, which we repro.
duce; first, because Tylers are not usu-
ally given to literary exercise land in too
many cases not to exercise of the kind
required to take proper care of the jewels
and implements of Lodges eonfding in
them) and secondly, because it contains
some historical matters worthy of pres
ervation for reference.
1t seems that certain Able Segur
has recently published a pamphlet
against the Freemasons, which is to be
seen in the shop windows Of Amiens in
large quantities. Speaking of it, our
brother Tyler, whose name is Houssiaus,
says;
1t is not our intention to reply to the
Able, but merely to show how the dig
nitaries of the Roman Church have
changed their opinion of us, and with
what ardor they burn that which once
they adored.
We prefer to place before the reader
some authentic documents relating to
the Masonic history of a country which
is now a part of Amiens
The 24th of April, 1774, committee
from the Lodge at ST. Quentin was about
to install the Lodge at Guise. They say
in their report We arrived at Guise
about 10 clock in the morning, and on
invitation repaired to the convent of the
Rev. Father Minimes, the superior OF
which received us with great politeness,
and by certain signs made himself known
to us as Mason, and subsequently as
Master of the Lodge Of Guise.
Several members of the convent, as
well as officers of the King residing in
the neighborhood, were members of the
Lodge. Among others was a Rev Bro
10th, Orator Of the Lodge, who in the
address spoke thus
The Temple of Masonry is the en-
blem Of wisdom discretion is its base
charity its entablature liberty its de-
vice, and equality its support; the spirit
of dominatin finds no admission there
\ + May the spirit which ami
mates Inc infame the hearts of all Ma
sons, and extend and propagate the glory
and happiness of Masonry"
This Bro. 10th was a distinguished
preacher, and being called to Paris by
his religious superiors, was appointed the
representative of his Lodge in the Grand
Orient His papers, sealed with the col
Ors of the House of Guise, blue and
black, signed by the officers of the
Lodge and countersigned at Paris, are
now before me.
Being ordered to Brussels to preach
during Lent, he sent a letter to the
Grand Orient, exeusing himself for his
absence from the post of MasOdic, on the
ground of ecclesiastical duty, but de-
claring that he would ever feel proud to
exhibit his feryent zeal for the glory of
the Royal Art
Although it was not then, and is not
now, customary for the Grand Orient to
reply to such letters, yet on this occasion
De Lalande, the celebrated mathemati-
clan, was appointed to draw up a suita-
bic reply, and he deemed the matter of
sufficient importance TO first make a
sketch for correction. This sketch, full
of erasures and alterations. is in my pos
session.
These facts speak for themselves, and
demonstrate how the regular clergy of
IVA differed from the secular clergy of
1868.

THE ORDER OF THE TEMPLE.

We some time ago clipped the fol-
lowing from the National Precursor
" In fact, the arrest and murder of the
sixty knights took place FIVE years be-
fore the decree passed by the Pope, in
1872, by which the order of the
Knights Templars was abolished
throughout Christendom. Edward the
Second, of England, made a similar
seizure of their property, on the We'd
nesday after Epiphany, 1908, and it was
transferred by act of Parliament to the
Order Of St. John, in 1923. According
to Mills, however, the history of the
Templars does not end here and the or
der of succession of Grand Masters is
perfect, as he asserts, from the time
Of Jacques de Molai down 10 the present.
johannes Marcus Larmenius, of Jeruss-
lem, was appointed By the noble old man
before his msrtyrdom, for such it may
Justly be called and the charter Of
transmission is preserved at Paris, with
the ancient statutes Of the Order, the
records, seals, ritual, records, standards
and other memorials of the early Tenn
plars."
Bertrand du Guesclin was Grand Mas
ter from 1851 until his death, 1880, The
Office has been held since then by many
noble knights; and from 1884 to 1876
by three Princes of the Royal Bourbon
family-Louis Auguste Bourbon, Duke
of Maine, Louis Henry Bourbon Condo,
and Louis Francis Bourbon Cont.

BROWNSVILLE, June 13-The follow
ing cases were disposed OF in the So
preme Court this morning:
Watt vs. LemaD, national dismissal
refused.
The case Of Randolph VS.. Metcalf re-
mains unfinished.
NEW YORK, June I3.-The Treasury
Department 10 busy in preparing a SEIZED
ule for the paying off of the interest on
The 205 and the 'sI bonds, which fall
due on the 1st of July. The amount Of
interest which the Government will have
to pay out amounts to S32 00O0O0 The
Treasury will anticipate the interest, and
begin payment towards the last Of the
present month.
The Supreme Court hiss objected that
Margaret WEIGH, convicted and SEN
fenced to i'm Imprisonment for life, for the
murder of policeman Robert McChesny,
shall have a new trial.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Ed
munds' bill to regulate the manner OF
holding elections, provides that in case
of death or refusal to accept the Office Of
a Senator elect during the session Of the
Legislature by which he was chosen, the
said Legislature shall proceed on the
second Tuesday after receiving notice
thereof, to elect one in his stead.
The Committee on Foreign Relations
declined to report favOTably on the nOmi-
nation Of Caldwell as Minister to Bolivia.
They will also report against Lott as
Minister 10 Costa RIGA, and against
sending any to Paraguay at present, ow-
ing to the distracted condition of the
country.
BALTIMORE, June 13.-An explosion
occurred in the steam saw mill Of
Stephen Clark, lear Cumberland, on
Wednesday morning. The entire build
ing was shattered, and DR.. Scott Thurs-
ton, the clerk, Morris Sibley, engineer,
and a man named Parks were ms antly
killed. Two other wOrkmen were badly
injured. The disaster Is alleged to have
been caused by the earelss5ness Of the
engineer.
BUFFALO, June l3.-RepOrts from Car
ada having gained circulation to the
effect that Fenians are concentrating st
this point for q raid on the neigh boring
province, 1t Is proper to cOntrsdict such
statements. No unusual gathering of
Fenians has occurred here, and it is not
true that there is a single member Of
that organization here, outside OF the
citizens ef Buffalo. They are sensational
reports, and probably originate with
Canadian spectators interested In sup
plying the troops.
ST. LOUIS, June f3.-The Athletics, of
Philadelphis, beat the Unions, Of this
city, in their match yesterday, by a score
of fifty four 10 twelve. The Athletics
will play the Empires to-day.
