Sri am an humble citizen whose name may

dent about doing it, lest you should interpret it
patronage; but feel that none Of Us are praised
for our good deeds half SO much as we are blamed
for our bad ones, and for all you have done, the
measure has been running over with abuse and
vituperation, from malignant foes, and the faint
prsise of lukewsrm friends. and therefore decide
TO give one word Of praise from an honest convic-
ton that il is deserved.

People are slow TO think, but the right thought

Presentations

We copy from the Burlington Free
Press of Wednesday the following de
| scription Of presentation ceremony
which took place during the session o
the Grand Lodge on Wednesday.
Durirx the session of the Grand Lodge
of L. 81 A NJ Of Vermont at City Hall
yesterday morning, Past Grand Master
Englesby was made the recipient by the
body Of I. handsome Past Grand Master
jewel, voted to him at the last annual
meeting of the Grand Lodge AS a token OF
his distinguished services in the cause OF
Masonry during his service ~ Grand
Master Of the Order III Vermont 1t was
procured through IA committee consisting
of Henry Clark. of Rutland. John b. Hol-
lenbeck, and VIM. Brinsrnaid. of this city,
at a cost of about one hundred dollars.
from designs furnished by Mr.. Brinsmaid,
and Is indeed a most suitable testimonial
and worthily bestowed
The jewel is composed of the emblems
of the compass, square, quarter circle and
risen sun, solid gold richly chased The
head of the compass is set with IA sap
phire stone, blue being the appropriate
color for the Past Masters degree. The
whole is suspended from bar of chased
gold, attached by blue ribbon to suit
able clasp or pin.
The presentation speech, on behalf of
the Grand Lodge, was made by R. w.
Henry Clark, of Rutland Grand Sccre-
tary, in his usual happy and impressive
manner, and was az follows:
Past Grand Mastc, Englesdg.
1t is fitting that those persons who have
performed distinguished service in any de-
partment, should receive the recognition
that is so eminently their reward, and
that enduring testimonials shall be Of val
ne as perpetual record to them of their
labors, and as evidence to the world of
their performance Of the high trusts that
have been assigned them. should be ten
dered by those who have witnessed and
been the recipients of the benefits, flow ing
from those services, extending not only to
the present, but which influence public
and private action in coming time
In obedience to this sentiment, l am
commissioned by the Most Worshipful
Grand Lodge of Vermont, through the
courtesy of its Grand Master, to extend
to you their most fraternal, personal ap-
probation of the labors performed during
the years that you presided over the inter
ests of the Masonic fraternity in this ju-
risdiction. Entering upon the dischorge
of the high duties incident to the posi-
tion, which had been SO ably performed
by the then lately deceased and veneratsd
Philip G. Tucker, who had for SO many
years presided over the interests of the
Masonic institution in Vermont, the re-
probabilities assumed were of no un-
meaning and trifing character. Your
predecessor, by his great ability, not only
achieved at home high reputation for
himself and for his Grand Lodge, but his
fame % Masonic iurist had extended

REVENUE STAMPs.-In view Of T..
small amount comparatively speaking. q
revenue derived from the sale Of stamp.
it is believed that the revenue law rel3-
tive TO affixing TO written instruments, :
persistantly violated The Commission
of Internal Revenue has recently issued
instructions to the Assessor, and Collie
tor, and to all revenue officers, requiring
them to take special pains to examine INTO
and ferret out all violations, and have the
offender punished. Stamps are requirel
to be placed upon the instrument by the
maker thereof and he is not relieved IRON
punishment by authorizing some one ei-e
to do il, if it be not done; the stamp
must also be Cancelled by the initials OF Tie
maker, with the date, etc.
