GRAND LoDGE LO.O.F.-The fol-
lowing proceedings of the Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows, at Its late ses-
sion in Baltimore, may prove ofinter-
est:
After discussion In the Grand Lodge,
in session at Baltimore, it was finally
determined, by vote of 50 to A, to
maintain the rule adopted in 1870, that
no business be transacted in any Lodge
on Sunday, except in connection with
funerals.
A charter was granted for Star En-
campment, Georgetown, California.
1t was resolved that Grand Secretary
Ridgeley procure visiting cards tor ths
Sisters of Rebckah, the same to be
printed, in neat manner, on paper
similar to the cards of brothers Of the
Order, and to be furnished at the same
prices as other visiting cards. The
Grand Lodge of British Columbia was
authorized to establish itself at ViCtO-
ria. 1t was decided not to change the
terms Of subordinates from SIX to
twelve months.

A Detective Monk.

| A detective monk would be a good
| title for sensation novel, and here is
a part of the story ready-made. The
scene in Smyrna, in far-offSyria, which
was recently excited by q mysterious
tragedy. On the evening OF Sunday,
the 9th Of July, small native craft
came dashing up against the Cerigo
Quay In manner which led to the
belief that she had beed abandoned.
On boarding her the dead body Of IN
elderly man, supposed to be the Cap
tain, was found lying on the deck, and
near the body was q blood-stained
hammer. A boy ten years old, wrap
| ped In a sail close by, was uninjured,
but apparently stupefied, and nothing
intelligible could be extracted from
him. The same evening another body
was picked up at cen fearfllly mutil-
ated.
Smyrnese society WIS lost in con-
lectures respecting these strange
events, when on Wednesday morning,
the Both Of July, a Russian monk ap-
peared at the Russian Consulate and
told the following story: He had en-
barked at Scio for Smyrna in company
with Persian, on board a coasting
vessel manned. by two men and
little boy. The monk, who Is master
Of six languages, overheard the Per-
sian proposing to the Captain that he
(the lnonkl should be murdered and
robbed of large sum In gold and
some bank notes he had about him.
The Captain agrsed. The monk did
not lose his presence Of mind; but
divesting himself Of Ills clothes near
the bows Of the ship, he told the Cap
tain that 1t was so hot he would sleep
on deck. "Sleep In peace" replied
the skipper; II will take care and
wake you at Smyrna" Some min
utes later the Captain himself nodded
off into halfsleep, and the vessel not
being far from the coast, the monk
slipped over the side and swan ashore,
landingat Ayou-Georgia Tiflik, whence
he made his way to Smyrna.
Upon inquiry 1t was found that the
Persian had arrived at Agan-Khan on
the Sunday, was Immediately arrested,
and not only has he been identified By
the monk, but the stolen money of the
latter was found IN his possession.
lie has since confessed that when, after
indulging in forty winks" below, he
went up on deck, fully anticipating
that he was to have the pleasure Of
numbering the monk, he was annoyed
beyond measure at finding his intended
victim bad escaped, and unjustly ac-
cused the Captain of having assisted
the monk over the side Of the vessel.
High words ensued, until the Persian,
snarting under lis disappointment,
brought the alteration to a close by
smashing the Captains head with q
hammer, numbering the sailor (wh
body he threw into the sea-, and ro'
ing Che boy round and round in all
thinking to sutfocate him. He then
ransacked the vessel, taking all the
money he could find, including the
monks, and stepping into small
boat which the coasting craft dragged
in its wake. departed in high dudgeon
for the shore.

The hnnnv time for the serenader

The happy time for the serenaders
is rapidly passing away: but they
improve the little time left them with
an assiduity that is very commendablc.
One party last week serenaded a young
lady in East-Thirteenth street. They
howled and growled away for fifteen
minutes. Suddenly window OH the
second story was raised, and a head
with n red bandana tied round was
stuck out of it, and a voice. which
was little too deep for that of a fair
young vision of beauty, said: 'Mine
fyrnds, oof you hef got feesh or vege-
tables, or dem tlngs, COON speak nit
me in de mornings. ton't like to
buy at dot dime nights" And then
the serenadeis walked away dissatis-
fed. To be taken for licensed venders
Is, indeed, disheartening to the most
enthusiastic modern troubador.

An OId-Fashloned Has

| A long time ago, when we old folks
were young, when girls wore big bon
nets-and never dreamed Of wearing a
hat like a boys there was in fashion
a small fairy-like hat Of silver or gold,
to wear on the finger. Every girl had
one, and was taught to use It almost
as soon as she was out of her cradle
young ladies wore 1t nearly all the
time. and as for 'mothers--why, they
scarcely took it off to 90 to bed.
They were very pretty little things
made Of gold or silver, as | said, and
though they are somewhat out OF style
just now, | think you will like to know
a little about them. The Germans
call them tinger-hats, and our English
torefatlers, who had time to give long
names to everything, called them
thumb-bells; bnt of late the world has
got into such a hurry that we've short
ened that pretty name into thimble,
and now, of course, you know all
about them.
You may know how one looks, and
what it Is for, though, thanks to
sewing-machines, you don't Rave to
wear It much, and the time is long
gone by when it was necessary to every
girls good name that she should en-
broider sampler" full of letters aud
figures. and have it framed and hung
up before she was dozen years old.
But don't believe you know how 1t
comes to be q dainty little finger-hat
instead Of n silver spoon, or a gold
ring.
Why, how many persons do yon
suppose it has taken to bring it from
the state of tiny specks to the pretty
little thing it is? Not to count miners,
or crushers, or refners, or any ofthose
people, but to begin when it enters
the thimb!e factory, it takes about
twenty workmen, besides lots of ma
chinery, to make it.
Pope immortalized thimble by
describing one adorned with the face
ofa queen; but sewing machines are
getting so perfect that perhaps before
Pope is forgotten, there will have to
be a note at the bottom of the page,
explaining the use Of that antique tool
the thilnble.
Whom we are to thank for the gift
of tllimbles we do not know, except
that the inventor was woman.
Some writers say they came from the
Industrious DANES of Holland with
their quaint name of fDger-hat, while
others claim the invention for some
small footed lady OF the Flowery King
dom.
think the probabilities are in favor
Of the Hollanders.
1t is not quite two hundred years
since they were introduced into Eng
land. How do you suppose ladies did
the wonderful embroidery that has
come down to us from those old times,
book-coyers, robes, and almost every
thing else. when they had no stout little
thumb-bell to protect their flngers?--

be was glad they were ordered to this
country.
The whole party numbered 155. OF
that number only forty-two are men
and ll5 women and children. Many
of the meu are very old and unfit for
active service.
Clothing seems to be very scarce,
and many of them are almost entirely
naked. Some of the men are fine
specimens of physical manhood and
the children present better appear
ance, where tine tar and grease has
been removed than the average Paw
nee or Sioux. They will be supplied
with rations and clothing by the mill
tary and allowed all the liberty con-
sistent with their safe keeping. 1t is
very probable that they will not be
troubled by the Sionxs, who have been
ordered to keep north Of the Platte.
1t Is said that they will not be kept
at their present home. but will be dis
tributed at the various military posts
In thisdepartment.
