Board met at Columbus on the Slst of Dec.
and directed me purchase. IL L could, the
Government buildings near here, which
were to be sold on the 9th of January.
attended the sale and bought the buildings
tor $55S.
We have been moving to our new quarters
for two weeks. We are more than halt
moved. / have bargained for $50 acres OF
good land; 100 acres cleared aud under
fence. The buildings are not good. but will
answer till we can repair and build some.
The new location is. without doubt better
than the old one, in every respect. except
buildings We have the promise OF three
car loads of lumber $4,000 feet as dona-
ton. and we hope to get more We are
busily at work repairing fences, setting
out fruit trees, and preparing for crop.
A. l.. Hatch of your place, Helwig Il Hud-
| son of Terry. DIR. NJ. w. Philips of Chatawa,
and Col Geo. 5. Gaines of State Line, have
all made donations oftrees, grape vines &c.
We nope in short tine to be able to do
much towards making our own support.
The Home. however, is in pressing need of
proy1sions-food and clothing. It Is a fact.
that We havn't bushel of corn, or pound
OF meat except one beef bought to-day.
Ihe children are not as comfortably clad as
they should be. We have a pLetty good
supply of flour, but no molasses. and we
nave had no lard for months. L think.
however, that we will soon be in a better
condition as to food. l hope so at least.
Bro. Booth, the General Agent is getting
his arrangements made for active work.
The Trustees have also an Agent in Ten
nessee. Rev. A. ID. Trimble OF Winchester,
and have hopes that Bro. Lewis of Canton
will go to Kentucky in the spring. If we
had not been forced to spend so much
money for food we would now have enough
to make our buildings good. The new loca-
ton can be made beautiful, If we can get
the means.
l am glad that a good impression was
made for the Home at the meeting of the
Grand Lodge. The Home owes a debt Of
gratitude TO Bro Cartwright for his efforts
in its behalf l have read that portion of
his address to the Grand Lodge which refers
TO the Home, and which you were kind
enough to send me. have sometimes felt
almost overwhelmed with difficulties, trou-
oles, trials, DC. of almost every kind. but
when read that portion of the Grand Mas
ters Address which refers to myself, felt
paid for all. In all that have done here,
however, feel that / have only done my
duty, and / do feel that have earnestly |
tried 70 DO that much. / claim no credit for |
what may, in my humble way, have done |
1 shall feel amply repaid If | can only have
the confidence of the Trustees and of the |
public. l know that some persons, who
know nothing about the Home, and who.
perhaps, were never here. have and will
continue to find fault with its management;
but we will still endeavor to be faithful to
the high trust contded to us.

ASEcDoTE OF PRENTICE Prem
tice became great favorite with the har-
dy backwoodsmen of Kentucky, who
usually came to see him when they were
in Louisville on business; not that they
were acquainted with him, but, as they
themselves would tell him, just to see
what he looked like. Such visits were,
of course, peculiarly painful to sensitive
nature, though Mr.. Prentice had no re-
course but to endure them. Reception
rooms are not generally in use among
provincial newspapers, and knock at
the door IL the only intimation of q visi-
tor before he enters the room. One of
these enthusiastic individuals shook MIR.

Our entire community was saddened yes
terday afternoon by the intelligence that
Capt. John J. Roe had suddenly died of
apoplexy- The occurrence took place nc 4
o'clock. on board the Memphis Ehai f-boat,
at the foot Of Pine street, whittier Capt. Roe
had gone on business, and where he was
engaged in conversation at the time. The
fatal attack was one Of great snddenness, and
In q few moments the victim was TfeIess.-
This calamity has cast gloom over our city
which held no man more esteemed or more
worthy than John J. Roe. An inquest

pected death, and the verdict OF the Jury waa

From the st. Louis Dem

From the st. Louis Democrat.
Major ]. s. Hay, who for several years has
been connected with the Dispatch (St.
Louis as reporter, has made hosts Of friends
by his gentlemanly department and atfable
manners. Last night a number of his
friends assembled at BOnnet's and presented
him with magnificent diamond cluster
breast-pin, valued at $500. The members of
the city council and OF the press attended on
the invitation of Mr.. Charles Z. Dunn.
On the assembling of the company, Col.
Stay back called the meeting 10 order, and
Alderman MantZ was elected chairman
The presentation speech was made by Capt.
j. z. Colcord.
We take the following from the remarks
of Capt. Colcord, on that interesting Occa-
sion:
Your praises, Sir, have Often been on
more eloquent tongues than mine, hence
shall be mind full that "brevity is The soul of
wit" as you, we are pleased to believe, are
the soul of chivalrous and generous impulse.
Friendship alone prompts our Offering,
and your good qualities of mind and heart
have irresistibly won for you our friend
ship.
This gem has the brightness of FOUR own
kindly nature and the sparkle of FOUR own
genial wit, and is the most precious among
Jewels, as a good, faithful and honest jour
nalist is the most to be admired among
men.
Your profession has doubtless taught you
that "all is not gold that glitters;' gifts and
banbles may lose their value, but friendship
shall resist decay and shine forever on the
star-lit way Oflite the while it fills our heart
with sweetest joy.
To the studiOus, industrious and faithful
editor, as much of praise is due as to him
who has ''taken a city" or made in politics
or war name world wide.
In Maj. Hays response, we find the secret
of his popularity
Gentleman. l speak in no bOasting terms
when | say that l have made my friends by
minding my own business and by trying to
be civil and courteous to all with whom am
brought in contact. have acted upon the
principle that it costs nothing to be polite
and good natured, and that principle will
generally win in the end. For the elegant
testimonial accept my warmest thanks
The incidents attending this presentation,
and the sentiments and good will embodied
in your act, will ever be treasured by me as
a bright episode and naught but grim fam
inc itself will ever tempt me to part with
such a tasteful memento of your friendship

FLoUR.-In Switzerland q new
mode of preparing wheat or other
grain for grinding into -four has been
invented. The result to be attained
by this new process Is to retain in the
white or fine -four made from the GEN.
trail body OF the kernal. the nutritiTe
properties which have heretofore been
lost By the separation OF the bran
The grain of wheat divides under the
microscope into three chief layers: 1,
the epidermis, or hull, or bran
proper, which consists of ligeneous or
woody fibre, and is entirely without
nutriment; q, the gluten coating which
lies between the hull and the starch
and Is the most nutritious part of the
grain, containing fourteen times as
much PHOSPHORUS al the remainder
of the grain, and being rich Ia nitro
gen. This portion, which IS far supe-
rior In nutritive qualities to the super
fine -four IS detached with the bran
by the ordinary process. and SO lost
to the consumers Of fine white -four.
The bran alone is as free from nutTi-
ton as so much Eastwood, and, being
rich in silica, is the chief cause ofsthe
attrltl0n and bunting of mlIl-stones;
Inside of the bran is the deposit of
starch, which forms the ordinary line
wheat -four.
The new process consists simply. 10
moistening the wheat before grinding
In a solution OF caustic soda in water,
40 pounds of the liquid. or z per cent.
being required for 1000 pounds Of
grain. The solution is prepared by dis
-.1.~s..1. o. ,,osryrIc 0f aanafsa soda IN
1873 pounds of water. The sleeping
may be from fifteen to twenty minutes.
and may be done in vats similar to
those used by brewers. The caustic
swells, and loosens the hull
proper, so that it may be removed BY
the slightest friction leaving the gluten
with the body Of the grain The -four
thus prepared, il il said, is as white as
the present supefne, contains all the
highly nutritive properties of the Gra-
ham and bran breads, without their
heaviness and sourness, and there is
peFceptibly less waste in grinding.

BASE ball clubs seem to have
stocking on the brain-a very map
propriate place, we may suggest, for
that garment. Thus, because q club
in Cincinnati came to be known as the
Red stockings, some journalist in Chi
cago fastened to baptize our own
crack nine as the White Stockings;D
and we read il an exchange that ssthe
Red Stocking Base Ball Club, of Gin
cinnati, beat the Green Stockings, of
Memphis, etc, etc. Before the sea-
son is over. we shall doubtless hear
of the Yellow Stockings. the Pink
Stockings. the Black legs, the Choco-
late Stockings, and the Lavender
Stockings. to say nothing of the we'll
known female club Of Blue Stockings,
which has already been long In exis-
tence.
