Bank, under the leadership Of Mr..
O'Neil.
At twelve O'Clock, the Rev. Mr..
Hayden was introduced as the ora
tor of the day. Mr.. Hayden drew
the audience into the early history
of Masonry and followed its rise
through the different stages of his
tory. He dwelt at some length upon
the grand and noble purposes Of the
institution, and depicted them as
being more ancient than the roman
eagle or the golden fleece. He clos
ed by paying tribute to the gentler
sex, and retired midst storm of APP
pla'se.
After the execution of several
choice pieces by the st. Francisvlle
and Clinton Cornet Bands, dancing
was announced as being next in Or
der. Then for more than an hour the
light and fantastic toe was tipped to
the time of delicious music, and
amid the gay throng all seemed bent
on making this fete memorable in
the history of the parish. The men,
bers of Plain Lodge and their nu-
merous friends cannot feel otherwise
than gratitied at the large, select and
brilliant attendance at their Aniver-
sary Celebration. Among the large
number of ladies present, we noticed
many whose dress were pleasing and
suggestive, but there was no ill-chos-
en- extravaganzas to offend the eye
or suggest the absence of true intel
ligence and gentility. It was indeed
an occasion when
"Tke bright and youthful dancers
meet
With laughing lips and winged feet
And golden locks come flashing by,
Like sudden sunshine thro' the sky u
The sound of music had but ceas-
ed to be heard, when the Marshall
Young announced dinner. This was
followed by a general invitation to
walk to the tables, and partake Of
a sumptuous repast, prepared by and
under the direction of such genial
gentlemen as Genl. Carter and DIR.
Barnett. The tables were loaded
with call the heart could wish for, and
all the mind could picture" The
center of attraction however, was
upon a magnificent pyramid cake,
presented to Plains Lodge by Mrs.
Eugene Carter. We fear that our
attempt to describe this beautiful
cake will prove futile on our part
The pyramid, some five feet in height,
was surmounted by an oval-shaped
canopy, emblazoned with many stars,
with numerous festoons, devices and
notices. One side was decorated
with Masonic emblems, such as the
Square, Level and Plumb. On the
other side was inscribed those words
of Golden rule, Charity" "Hope'
Faith !" and on the other, "Wis.
dom" y" strength" Beauty"
The whole entertainment was per-
fectly gogeous. After dinner, dan
GERS again assembled, and happiness
again flowed.
The lateness of the hour, coupled
with the distance to travel on GU,
return, prevented us from remaining
til the close. It may, however, BIZ
stated as a fact, that the Celebration
of the Anniversary of st. John thu
Baptist, will remain memorable
episode in the history of the time
honored institution under whose au
spices it took place.
| We return our sincere thanks tt
Gen. A. G. Carter and DIR. Barnett
for the courteous and affab,e man
ner in which they entertained us
and hope for many returns of suct
cordially.

order to provide fund for the pay
ment of the annual installment Of
one-fifth of the principal Of said
bonds, and Of the annual interest as
it becomes due, the Police Jury OF

required within thirty days after the

holders for sale to the parish of the

The fourth section provides that
all expenses incurred in carrying out
the provisions of this act shall be
paid by the parish, and that this act
shall go into effect from and after its
passage,

RARE EXCEPTION.

Our mother used TO say: eff they are
bad boys, don't play with them, OF others
will think the same of you This was an
admoniton in accordance with the old adage,
'bad folks keep bad company" or that 9th
or saving, "Show me man who keeps bad
campanv and will show you bad man.
As we have advanced in years we have
found there is so much truth in these say
iurs that we had become to believe them IN
inEIlibe and no longer wondered that they
had been reduced to proverbs. But at last
these trite old adages have been contradic'cd, /,
The strange anomaly has occurred, an' as
tonishing as it may be TO some, Frank Page,
of Eldorado, nominee for Congress in this
district onihc Grant nt-Sargent-Rai ticket,
is the wonderful exception. Every body
knows that Page runs with, and is partic
ular friend Of the Record, the Spirit Of the
Times and other journals Of the same ilk,
and that he is a great pet Of their old God
father, Stanford. Everybody knows, also,
ihat these papers, under the direction OF the
old gentleman, are aled against the moral
social, political and financial mteres is of
e, cry citizen in this State, outside Of their
own ring; and all men disconnected with their
interests agree in denounciug them "bad
eggs" But Page is not. No sir Page is a
good, honest, upright man, has good rec
ord, is a good lobbyist, keeps horses and
Knows how to drive them; but lie will run
with this bad company and allow them to
secure a nomination for him and labor to Sc
cure his election We marvel greatly that
hey should do these things. They must
know he will do nothing for them in return
for all their pains, he will not vote them any
subsidy, goat meat or anything else, for they
say he is not that Kind of man. The pco-
pie see how Page and the railroad company
re mixed up until they can hardly tell one
from tbc other, and it may astonsh them
hat he is not one of their kind but we have
he authority of the Record, Times and Me
Kusick that he is not. The people can see
N the railroad Journals printed matter, con-
veying the above ideas, and according to the
old saying, "seeing is believing" But they
cannot see The secret thoughts which lie hid
lien in the in the deep receses of this mans
brains, and which will rise to the surface only
when 1t will be too late for Us to oppose BIN.
And it seems plain to MS that the monopoly
in so earnestly and unanimously supporting
Page, belle their actions when they attempt
10 defend him against the accusation of be-
NC in symplthy with them.

1t will be remembered that when the
Supervisors of Placer county sold the stock
which this county held in the Central Pa
cifc Railroad to d. O. Mills & Co., that
the said Board of Supervisors allowed
themselves 81 500 each, as compensation
for their services in the transaction. This
act, by officials whose pay the law regulated
in a manner contrary to this, was considered
an outrage to justice. A complaint was
entered by Moses Andrews, of Auburn, in
behalf of the citizens The case was tried
as will also be remembered, over two years
ago in the District Court, and judgment
rendered against the defendants. The case
was then appealed to the Supreme Court,
where it has at last had hearing and the
Judgment of the District Court confirmed.
Again, it will be remembered that the Her
AID agreed with the people in opposing this
secmingly unauthorized ard unjust act o.
the Supervisors, and it is a source of salts.
