Queen victoria Thfrty-Four Years


When Queen Victoria delivered her first

while the utmost stiffness prevailed through the
House. When about to ascend the steps Of the
throne, her foot caught in her robes, and she

and took her seat with perfect ease
and self-possession, after which, in the
sweetest tone, she sisnihed to their
lordships to be seated. There Was still breath

Gov. RApLEY AS A military

Gov. HADLEY AS A MILITARY
MAN.-It may not be generally known
that our present chief executive has
seen service--at least, he has worn the
title of captain, and that too at a time
when brimStons could be scented in
the cir in every direction, if we were
to take the Republican as evidence, for
the organ wanted to send every body
but its friends to the "nethermost
parts of hell" even without the benefit
of clergy. If talk and show Of pluck
makes a military chisftain then our
present governor is one Of which. All
remember the exciting times around
the capitol during the Clayton i'm
parchment 1t will be remem bered
also that Governor Clayton organized
company known as the "Invincibles, 4"
composed principally of Clayton legis-
lators, who were sworn to stand by
their chief and defend him and his
throne even unto death. Well, as the
records Of the secretary of state show,
Hon. 0. a. Hadlsy, on the 18th Feb :
ruary, 1871, about the time tas Clay
ton throne was in danger Of tumbling
TO pieces, was made captain of the
"Invincibles," with tho Learned"

istrate held an inquest last night on
the dead body of man washed ashore
at the foot Of Sixth street, who had a
ghastly wound on the LETT side Of the
head above the ear, made evidently
with an axe, splitting the skull open.
The jury rendered verdict of murder
by some person unknown. The man
was about five feet seven inches, dark
brown hair, wore an old blouse, wool
len shirt and cheap trowsers. 1t is
believed that he was a deckhand or
deck passenger on some steamer, and
WAS killed and thrown overheard csoye,
floating down to this point. 1t is re>

The LEGEND.-The legend, as it is
called, for the Master Mason, 8 one of
the most touching and beautiful in the
great drama of life. Founded, as it is
upon the mysteries and ceremonies of
the ancient Egyptians, it has come
down to US "a the embodiment and
substance Of Masonry. 1t is an inn
pressive eremplitication Of the birth,
the duties, the death and resurrection
of man. 1t stamps upon the intelli,
gent Mason the sublime doctrine of the
Immortality Of the soul; and it was
wise provision ofall GrandLodges that
that deg re should never bs mutilated,
that it should never be giren in part
only, but should be compstel at every
undertaking. To omit this legend is
to omit the degree itself. The legend
is the grand landmark, he unfailing
beacon of Masonic centuries. It is
never changed; it will admit of no re-
moval, for it is rallying of the uni,
versal brotherhood. 1t conveys coll
umns of thought, and Finishes food
for the reflective mind down to the
grave, and as a simple drama stands
unsquslled beside any # the produce
tons of genius. No Mason ever par
ticipated in and forgotit; he felt its
moral upon his soul though it were
the touch of divinity, and when
properly understood it inspires a
solemnity second onR to the scene of
leath. Let no invntive and tinker
ING genius, therefor ever tamper with
The beautiful legend it wants nothing
added to it, and rill allow nothing
taken from it,"
