The Masonic Token, published by Stephen
Berry Of Portland, has an interesting edito
rial article this month on The Costume
Question" applying it directly to the matters
Of Commandery uniforms. The editor hopes
that the Grand Master will not take ha.ty
s:eps to enforce bis edict, whereby the pres
ent tasteful uniforms Of New England Com
manderies are forbidden. Sedition is openly
expressed in some quarters, it is said, and
cali Is middle upon the sense of fairness all
around, for suspension of the new rules un-
til 1874 session, when a peaceful solution is
hoped for.

The stranger was particularly severe on Wa

Summers Speech.

Mr.. Sumner has at last declared his inten-
ton of supporting the Tribune philosopher
as Presidential candidate, and now the Lib
ersl Republicans srowl because he did not
pronounce himself earlier. They are sharp
enough to see that while he has been hssitat.
ing about giving his opinion to the colored
citizens who asked for 1t, the Aforesaid clti-
Gems have been deciding for themselves in "a
vor of President Grant. The Senator de.
clares in his letter that both the candidates In
the coming election stand upon similar
platform, and makes the only important ques-
ton that Of 1.-The man." Still, he ,nclines
somewhat tenderly toward the Cincinnati
platform. He has only thrown his long
maintained neutrality to the winds at the mo-
ment when he was sure Of mot being misun.
de rstood." He asserts that he has taken
ample counsel with lifelong friends, and il
apparently overjoyed At the prospect Of .
faneied grand result from the declaration.
He does not deny that his early conclusion
was in Greeley's favor, and aays his best
judgment Is In harmony with that conclusion
lie insinuates comparison between Greeley
and Grant as respectively civilian aud soldier;
asserts that Grant, save by the accident of
war, has done nothing for the negroes, but,
on the contrary, something against them, a.
in Hayti, and that Mr.. Greeley has always
Deen nrm Irlen0 OF the negroe. he insists
that President Grant has shown little industry
in protecting the colored people and assuring
peace at the South; and thinks the energy
given to the San Domingo scheme would have
averted ku-klux outrages 90 that the last
Congress would not have needed to legislate
farther concerning them. He accords Gree
ley the advantage of having been nominated
by purely reform convention, voluntarily
attended by able and acknowledged Republi-
cans. He claims that the Democrats who
have come over to Greeley have set ''theiT
corporate seal to the sacred covenet," are
non Republicans, and does not fear thas Gree
ley and Brown would bring the Democrats
back to power. He places great stress on the
singing of "Old John Browns IL marching
on" by the Democrats, and from that musical
episode presumes that their conversion 10
thorough. Mr.. Sumner AYERS positively that
President Grant deserves to be impeached for
high crimes and misdemeanors, but fails to
tell why he Sumner )did not move in the mat
ter. The Senator sees the nomination Of Mr..
Greeley ''the hand of the Lord" and gently
pats the Southern Democrats on the back,
because Of their magnsnimity in taking life

Sumner dAres not stand aloof from . move

No Takers for the Bet.

Where are the blatant, boastful braggarts
who say that Mr.. Blaine's majority will be
cut down from 1870, and who have even init
mated that there Is danger of his defeat !?
That 500 remained on deposit at tins flee
yesterday. Not democrat, liberal republi-
can, or mongrel Of any kind, even nbbled at
the tempting bait. The hat was doubtless
passed round, but after the ef>rt of the day
previous, the Greeleyites were exhausted and
did not seem to have any stomach for further
wagers. Even their model man OF money
whom they are proud to parade on every &C.
casion where there's money to venture, failed
to make his appearance. He was one of the
contributors to the penny collection OF
the day before and risked "a whole dollar"
on the result. Come up, you braggarts Show
your pluck, and above all show your money !!
Can't we induce you to pass the hat round
for another "penny subscription" Our Office
has been open all day, and we kept close
watch lest some one should ''peek in" and
then rush of to the Standard Office and re-
port nobody here. The money is here, but
nary democrat has shown himself.

asked what he had to say why the sentence
should not he pronounced against him, he
replied that he ought not to be sentenced by

said because every dollar he had stolen went
for the support of his (Barnard's) Witnesses.

KEEP THE HAIR UNBLEMIsHEp.-''I am like
an old hemlock-withered at the top" said
venerable Indian Chief, pointing to his thin
and bleaching locks. Thousands Of men and
~onlen IN civilized society, much younger
than The old Sycamore, are like him, with
cred at the top" supply because they have
neglected to use the means OF preserving and
oeautifying the hair which science had placed
At their disposal. If Lyons Kathairon be
faithfully applied once or twice day, to the
Hores and the scalp, 1t is just as impossible
that the hair should decay, wither, fall out or
become harsh and fuzzy, as that meadow,
duly refreshed WITH nightly dews and sunlt
rains, should become arid and barren Of green
blades. ThiSmatchless preparation not only
keeps the hair alive and the skin of the head
in healthy and clean condition, but actually
multplies the tilaments and imparts to them
lustre, tiexiblhy and wavy beauty uaattain-
able by any other mode OF treatment II does
not, like the metallic and su phurous hair
dyes, dry up the natural moisture of the scalp,
nut supplies nutrinent to the roots OF the hair

Republican Mass Meeting at North vassal-
b0ro'.
On Tuesday evening, the citizens Of Vas
salb0ro' turned out to the number of about
one thousand, to listen to stirring speeches
from Hon. Hannibal Hamlin and Hon. VIM
P. Frye. Their statements in regard to the
condition of the country and the issues now
before the people were clear and convincing
and beyond contradiction; and their appeals
to the people to stand firm and maintain their
government and secure their liberties, must
have great effect in the community. That
good seed was sewn in good ground there is
no question. There was great enthusiasm
throughout the evening.
The Quakers turned out en- masse. There
is but one Greeley Quaker in town, and our
reporter says that he has been rebuked by
his society.
There are but few Greeleyites in town,
all reckoned and these few are so wild and
desperate that they have no influence what
ever. The old town of Vassalboro' stands

The sermon was by Rev. Mr.. Osborn, of

Is owned by the National Association. They
hold their next meeting at Crbanna, Ohio.
IL is to commence next week on Wednes-

nacle reaching there in season, they are
Obliged TO send it in advance. The whole,

ing called for that purpose at Z O'Clock this
afternoon, large number convened IN the
