THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs. order
of the ''Knights of Pythias" is becoming
80 widely spread and prosperous that the pub
lie have a reasonable curiosity to know some,
thing of its character and purposes. The ritual
was first written and the order worked during
the war as bond Of union between army Of
6cers After the wars close it was rewritten,
modified and thrown open to the people, and
has spread rapidly, particularly within the last
two years, and in the Eastern States. Its work
and intent are very similar to those Of the Ma
sonic Order Founded on friendship, with the
famous tale of Damon and Pythias as their ex-
ample, the members aim to relieve the suffer
ing, succor the unfortunate, care tor the SICK,
bury the dead and give their sympathy and
material aid to the widows and orphans OF
each other. The complete regalia consists OF
military hat, with plumes scarlet yelvetee,n
sash with silver fringe an apron OF black vel
vet, handsomely trimmed in silver with the u.
emblem of the order a knights helmet with
the visor down, the letters K. P. and the lnl-
tials Of the officer, if the wearer be an officer,
and a sword with elegantly wrought hilt and
scarlet scabbard, the hilt and trimmings being
gold for the officers and silver for the knights,
and each blade bearing the name Of the wearer.

A POLITICAL "REMINISCENCES. odd
years ago when portions of Western New ork
were about equally divided between Wings and
Democrats, many times great efforts were made
10 get the news of an election from the differ
ent towns of a county to the county seat, where
the politicians of the village on the night OF
election were usually assembled at one OF the
hotels for the purpose of receiving the courlers
as they came in.
Railroads and telegraphs not being so numer-
Gus in those days, the returns were usually
sent in charge of some Jealous politician Of the
victorious side One dark and rather stormy
November night an elderly man, quite rat
tle-headed politician, started from the village
of Liyonia for Geneseo with the election news
On he sped, astride of old Highlander, heet
horse, making good time through the splash
ing mud. When he reached Lower Lakeylile
he might have stopped and wet his WHISTLE
he could, if he chose, have stopped at the Up
per Lakeville House mile beyond, and taken
another drink or two.
At Hills tavern, mile out of Geneseo, ne
could have drank again if he had been com
pelled to arouse the obliging landlord from his
slumbers to get it. All these contingencies
could have been in those days without rufhing
the temper of the most fastidious. Arrived at
the hotel in Geneseo at good place, ahghted
as Quickly as his trembling limbs would permit,
gave the reins to the hostler, and at once went
into the reception room, where the county nota-
hles were in anxious expectancy. wv hat 8 the
news 9'' we're the first words that greeted him.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION PRO
VIDED FOR.
It having been cOnjectUred, if new
appOrtiOnment bill had not passed in
time to be applied to the Forty
second Congress, that the number
of Presidential electors for 1872 would
be determined by the present basis, it
is proposed that if the President
be elected at the same time as the
FOrty-third Congress both be chosen
on the new basis. This is in acCOr-
dance with the pfecedents of 1882 and
1852. The only event in which a fail
ure to make the new law apply to the
FOrty-secOnd Congress can possibly
effect the Presidential election, would
be a failure to elect by the people, in
which case a choice would be made
by the FOrty-secOnd Congress and on
the present basis.

Why, or how, I cannot tell, says a
writer in London Society, but the
DUtchman has managed to get into
his head two notions, which just now
comfort him exceedingly. The one
that Prussia has, and can have, no
idea Of cOveting Holland; the other,
that if so strange a notion should
ever enter her head, nothing will be
more simple than, by just cutting
few dykes, TO drown Immediately the
whole German army. What is to be-
come Of the HOllauders themselves
during the application to the invader
Of this heroic form of cold water cure,
1 have not been able satisfactorily to
ascertain. Those I have consulted on
the subject assure me positively that
they are not web-fOOted, as is COM
monty supposed elsewhere, nor yet
provided, under their vOluminOus
neither garments, with the natural
waterprOOfing Of scales or feathers
they have sometimes been supposed
to be constructed expressly to con-
ceal. But they seem to reckon quite
confidently on padding about some
how while the invaders drown, and
drawing of the water afterwaTd, in
time to get on with the ordinary busi-
ness Of the season.

accept no arrangement not based on
those conditions.
