PARIS, May 10, . A. M-The barricades
in Rue de Temple were quickly carried,

Several Riots Monday Night
PARIS, May 10, P. M-Several riots Oc-
CURED late last night, but were not seri-
Gus. Three or four barricades were erect
ed in Belleville district, but were feebly
defended. The troops carried them easily,
but without firing shot. Shots were fired
but not by soldiers. There was great ex
citement throughout the night, and indeed
it was owing to the display of large num-
Der of troops that the crowds were more
noisy than dangerous.

knights TempIar at Masonic EGa

knights TempIar at Masonic HALL.
Though the weather was very bad and
the streets in disagreeable condition,
their was a fair audience present at Ma
sonic Hall last night to witness the exer-
cises of the Knight Templars. At near 8
o'clock the Sir Knights filed into the hall
arrayed in their gorgeous regalia, and took
the front seats in center of the hall The
exercises were commenced with a volun-
tary by the choir Father, thy word is
Past" etc. Then followed a fervent
PRAYER, music by the choir. DR..
fowler, of Columbia, then deliv-
cred the address which was able,
chaste, and replete, with research
and eloquent conceptions. The address
was delivered in a most felicitous manner,
and was one of the hsppiest efforts of the
kind we ever listened to. We regret that
a want of space prevents an elaborate syn
opsis. The Doctor spoke of the antiquity
of Masonry, and noble aims and purposes
of the Order. He went back to the origin
of knights Templar after the overthrow
of the Saracens, and spoke In eloquent
terms of the high attributes of the organi-
cation. They were banded together on
the side of truth to combat error and in
fidelity. He paid q glowing tribute to the
pure character of women, whose champions
the knights had ever been. After keeping
his hearers spell-bound for over an hour,
he closed, invoking Divine blessings upon
the Order. His address was well received.
and the speaker received the congratula-
tons of his brother Knights on the stage
at its close. Music then followed, when
the benediction was pronounced and the
crowd dispersed. The Sir knights will
have their procession along the principal
streets to-day, and the exercises will close
with grand social banquet at Masonic
Hall tonight.

Since our adjournment some dark

prudence and discretion in the past fur
nish sufficient assurance for the wisdom
of your acts In the future. The courtesy
and Kind feeling manifested. each towards
the other during our previous session will,
