The two days session of the Grand
Lodge was most harmonious. On
Wednesday evening Past Grand Mas
ser Senator Morton, who was pres
ent, delivered short aud appropriate
address, encouraging the brothers
to renewed efforts in the noble work
in which they were engaged. He was
loudly applauded, and at the close of
his remarks Grand Master S. L. Ad-
ans made a few appropriate remarks,
thanking him, IN The name of the
Grand Lodge, for the interest he
manifestedin the order. The addresses
on Tuesday, by Past Grand Repre-
sentative Schuyler Colfax, before the
Grand Lodge and Grand Encamp-

He stated that he had intended to be
present at the celebration on the 18th
of April, but was called away by the
sickness Of one Of his relatives. He
said: am glad to meet with you
again. Accommodating cares and af-
fairs of State have largely engaged my
attention for the past few years, but
to-day my mind travels back to over
twenty years ago, when the Grand
Eneampmentof this State sent me as a
Representative to the Grand Lodge of
the United States At that time there
were no railroads, and the jour

regulate his conduct and action, that
when he was no more. and the grave
closed over his earthly remains, that
all could say, Well done, thou good
and faithful servant"
The attendance was very large
numbering about FIVE hundred per.
sons. The Grand Lodge adjourned
on Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock
to meet again in November.
HANDING HIM ARoUND.-We no
tice that the exploits OF DR.. Yates
late lessee of the Evansville Opera
House, and whose last appearance il
this city was in the role of " thu
squelched dead beat" are having
good airing through the press of th'
whole country. In almost every pape
we take up the classic and suggestive
name of Dr.. Yates, lessee, stares u

ALMOST A FIRE.-About 4 o'clocl
yesterday afternoon small blaze wa
discovered issuing from the roof O
2 those magnificent and venerable cot
i tages situated between the JOURNA
Office aud the river, on Locust Street
and which, for half a century, more o
e less, have been the dilapidated home
of rats and niggers. The fire was ex
