The rumor that the Pacific Mail Steamship
Co. sold out its franchise in Mexico to the

soon withdraw the Panama line, is renewed
with more persistence than before. 1t is un-

WE learn that the exhibition for the school
children that came off at Music Hall Wednes-
day afternoon was q perfect sham. The grand
actors had, by lying and craft, worked their
way into most of our public schools and pre-
tended that they had something wonderful in
the science of astronomy, charms in music
never equaled by cherubim or seraphin, all
the war scenes around Paris, true to life, and
in fact, the grandest affair ever seen or heard
by mortal beings before. They expected to fill
the hall for weeks with the elite of the city,
and should put the admission fee at the low
price of IS cents. AS mere advertisement,
however, they would show the whole thing to
the pupils in our public schools for the nomi-
nal sum of 15 cents. AS matter of course
our science-loving and art-worshipping child
rem nearly filled the hall. An old guitar and
few discordant sounds was all they heard,
and few cheap pictures, by the light of AN
old magic lantern was all they saw. The grand
lantern from Boston did not put in an appear

SACCARAPPA LoDGE.-L o. o. F.-This
Lodge celebrated the sd Anniversary of the
rise of the Order in this country, in fine style,
on Wednesday evening. The Lodge numbers
one hundred and twenty active members, the
Cummings Encampment has between fifty and
sixty, and the Naomi Lodge OF Rebeckah, sixty
members. These various branches were out in
force, and their neat Hall was crowded. DR..
N. II. Martin IN. g. presided, and speeches
were made by himself, Past Grand Masters
Cummings, Haseltine and p. G. Holden
Shaw's Quartette Club was on band and gave
some OF their most capital songs, glees, &c. 1t
was most enjoyable time.
A fine collation. was served up about nine
o'clock, which was much enjoyed, with the So
cial intercourse accompanying. At the con-
cluslOn OF the feast, song, sentiment, and story
prevailed, till nearly eleven O'clock, when the
company separated with general resolve that
they had had grand time, and desire was
expressed to be at the next public celebration
Full half the company were ladies', and they
entered into the spirit of the occasion very
heartily.
This Lodge (No. 11) is esteemed by Odd Eel
lows to be one of the foremost in the State. A
few years since it had fallen. away in the usages
and in members very much, so that but seven
were left to keep the flame alive. By indi-
cious management of these faithful few and
others who came in and assisted, the Lodge
took staff, and has ever since been advanc-
ing. Its influence in the village is acknOwl-
edged on all sides. Some of the most upright
persevering men belong to it-men, ready to
lend helping hand to all good work. And so
it Is with the ladies. A finer audience of ex-
cellent people could hardly be gathered in any
village in the State. 1t gathers in the young
men exercising watchful influence over them.
The meetings are fully attended and tae work
we'll done.
We wish success to all societies like this,
that have the good of their fellows at heart,
and the elevation of the character of their COM
munity. The more of them the better.

EVENING SESSION.

III Lne evening q very large auo1enCe assem-
bled on the occasion of the temperance anni-
versary. Rev. d. b. Randall presided. The
746th and 212th hymns were sung, end prayer
was offered by Rev. j. Lord. In opening the
meeting the chairman called attention to the
Importance of the object for which it was call
ed. Nothing SO binders the progress of Gods
cause as intemperance. As Ministers of Christ
and members of His church we have not felt
the responsibility which rests upon us we
ought. We have depended too much upon the
law There must be moral sentiment behind
the law to secure its execution. We must not
complain too much of the officers whose duty
it is to execute the law while we are inactive.
When Christian men say the traffic in intoxi-
eating drinks must stop it will cease.
o. M. Cousens, General Superintendent of
the Cold Water Templars, was called upon.
The speaker referred to the important order of
which he is a representative. 1t numbers in
this State 5000 children and youth under Is
wears of age. Hitherto the chldren have been
neglected in this great work, and thereby a
great mistake has been made. Our grandfath-
ers were able to drink alcoholic liquors with
comparative impunity, for alcohol was the only
poison which their cups contained; but the cup
of to-day contains all kinds OF polsons: A
young man asked friend newly arrived from
Chicago IL they had good liquor out there,
guess you would think So" was the reply, ior
when 1 wiped my mouth on my coat sleeve az
ter drinking, it burned q hole right through
il" ''Vitals cooked here" was the mistakenly
spelled sign over rum restaurant, Dut tne
meaning was true enough. No wonder the
young men of today die off thus prematurely,
imoiDlng the vile concoctions vended at this
present. Another point was: Danger from
uuuer-estimating our enemy. This is done
whon we leave the children to the tender mer-
cies of the tempter as the Good Templar, have
| done, TILL they were fifteen wears of age. A
scion OF the house of Austria thus nnder-esti-
mated the "Old Dessauer," whose tiftv vaars
| OF military experience enabled him to annihi
late the army of the beardless lad. The tenn.
ter has had 6000 years experience on this glohe
and am unable to say how long on other.
The speaker urged brethren and sisters to WORK
| in the Sunday Schools and assured them that
| he would visit them so far as he was able and
assist them in introducing this beautiful de.
| gree.
Capt G. Sturdivant was the next speaker
| called upon. The speakers who had preceded
| him had anticipated him in much he had in
| tended to say on this occasion. There has beef
40 much said about intemperance and so little
7! done that one knows hardly what to say. He
