The Monster Masonic Temple.

The New York Herald has had O
correspondent at Philadelphia to look
at tho grand new Masonic Temple
which is TO be dedicated on the 2Sth
Of September next. His description
Of this magnificent edifice is very full
and clear and as we believe it will be
read by many of our subscribers with
great interest we transfer it TO our
columns
The temple is now in an advanced
state of completion, and from its i'm.
menso size and imposing style of arch.
iteoture is one of the most conspicu.
Gus public buildings in the city. Much
has been said by New Workers and
Bostonians in praise of their respec.
tive Masonic temples, but IL is now
generally conceded that the Philadel-
phia structure far surpasses both as
respects size, cost and beauty. IL will
make two Of that at Boston, and is a
third larger than the temple in Sixth
and Twenty-third street. 1t is OF
such immense size, and is filed with
so many lodge, chapter and comman-
derry rooms, that to those initiated II
is almost labyrinth. As il has
never been fully described running
sketch may not be amiss, as 1t gives
evidence that the Masons throughout
the country are on the high road TO
prosperity, and as a brotherhood are
marching on in irrepressible pbalanxes
to success. 1t is composed entirely of
finely dressed granite Of wbitish
lead -colorod tint, is $50 feet in length,
is $50 fcct wide and is three stories in
height. The grounds upon which it
is built in Broad street, near market,
together with tho structure, cost the
Masons upwards of twelve hundred
thousand dollars. The architecture
of the building is combination Of the
old and new schools admirably blended,
and is pleasing TO the eye. Its
THREE USIoUs TOWERS,
reaching heavenward, can be seen
from the four quarters OF the compass,
and are as conspicuous landmarks to
the Pbiladelphians as the Herald build.
ing Is to those Of the Long Island and
Jersey shores. The inner masonry
alone involved the consumption Of TO-.
100000 bricks, and the number oi
cable feet of granite in the outer walls,
If known, would probably seem to the
reader fabulous. Tho main entrance,
on BROAD street, Is Of tho Venetian
style Of architecture, and resembles
perfectly THO doorway to St. Marks
at Venice. Once inside, the magni.
tudc and beauty Of the edifce becomes
apparent. Broad and massive stair.

and peculiarly shaped doors aud cor

The Centennial.
Meeting of the Executive Committee.

1
We are indebted to the Altoona
Tribune for the proceedings of the first
meeting of the Centennial Executive
Committee OF the State of Pennsyl-
vania, held at the Logan House, in
that city, on the 26 day of August
The attendance indicated q warm feel.
ing OF interest in the success of this
great enterprise. Hon. VIM. Bigler,
of Clearfeld county, acted as Presi.
don't of the meeting, and Hon. Samuel
M. Wherry, of Cumberland county,
Secretary. The following preamble
and programme was unanimously
adopted:
The United States Centennial Board
of Finance, with tho view of securing
additional means to defray the expen.
ses incident TO BETTING commemor.
otion of the first Centennial Anniver.
sary of the Celebration of Independ-
ence, and the erection of proper build
ings for the use Of the international
Exhibition of 1876 have adopted the
plan of canvassipg the entire country
to secure subscriptions to the Centcn.
nial Stock. The Subcommittee of
the Board of Finance selected for the
State have determined TO ask tho peo.
pie of Pennsylvania for at least half q
million of dollars exclusive of the city
of Philadelphia. This amount is
deemed tho least that would suffice to
place tho Keystone State in the proud
position which she should occupy in
this noble and patriotic work, and it
is hoped that this movement may re-
suit in securing much larger amount
To this end they determined to ap-
point Centennial Executive Com.
mitteo for the State of Pennsylvania
whose duty it shall be to adopt meas
urcs in the several counties of tho
State TO secure the quota of said coun-
tics. This Committee is composed Of

The spearman heard tho bugle sound,
And gaily smiled the morn
And many brach and many honnd

And gave a louder cheer;

And all the chase rode on.
And now, MS over rocks and dells,
The huntsnens' cheerings rise,
All Snowden's craggy chaos yells,
With many mingled cries. f

The chase of hart or hare,
And scant aud small the booty proved,
For Gelert was not there.
Unpleased, Llewellyn homewsrd hicd,
When, near the portal scat,
His truant Gelert he espied,
Bounding his lord to greet.
But when he gained his castle door,
Aghast the chieitain stood; f
The hound was smeared with drops Of gore,
His lips and fangs ran blood
Llewellyn gazed with wild surprise,
Unused such looks to meet;
His fayorite checked his joy fnl guise,
And crouched and licked his icet.
Onward, in haste, Llewellyn passed,
And on went Gelert, too;
And still where'er his eyes he cast,
fresh blood drops shocked his view.

The blood stained covert rent,
And all around the walls and ground,
With recent blood bcspreut.
