shown our party by Major Farnswoth
and Mr.. Bowker. Why others could
not have exhibited little of their So
licitude for Us is past comprehension.
But few Of the party carried provis-
sions with them, they having been in
formed that a picnic dinner was to be
prepared by the good people of Tomah.
In this we blame only ourselves, for w
ought not to have expected so much
We know the storm terribly disarrany
ed things, and our people therefore ar
disposed to make every allowance.
Bat, the fact OF the storm ought to
have made the action of the Tomah
people more determined, and their
greeting more cordial. We treasure
no i'll will. we only ask the good peo-
pie of Tonah in thc future to act in
unison, to pull together if ever they
have another chance to extend courte-
sizes to their friends, and they will be
gratefully remembered.
If we have been so long isolated
from the outside world, by the lack of
iron rails, our people are not heathcns.
We can appreciate kindness shown,
or resent q slight intende1-thou-h we
will not SO put it. As it is, Tomah
has had big celebration. Grand
Rapids and Ceutralia furnished fom
hundred people, a Brass band of ten
pieces, anu pail for 1t, one speaker,
and their own provenler, and left with
their hotels and eat throat bus men,
at least fee Aundred dollars, and in re-
turn, they have seen one glorious good
woman whose heart is worth all To-
NAH.
We are informed that it is the in
tention Of Mr.. Wyatt to give a free
excursion trip to our people by and by.
We thank Mr.. W. We know he is GEN
erous, and under other circumstance
we would be counted lunatic ia cur
manifestation Of Joy. As it is how
ever, when the excursion comes off,
We want to 90 out on POI atobug kill
ing excursion, or dig crinkle root in
the rain, or hunt for sassafras bark.
IF the good people Of Tomah will come
up and see Us, as We hope they will,
on the invitation Of Mr. Wyatt, they
will find open houses, glad hearts, and
willing hands

The sky became overcast, and all the
artillery Of heaven seemed to have been
brought into play for grand obser-
vance of the great anniversary. The
lightning was the "randest fire works,
and in lieu of "golden rain" we had

The wind tuned mp its pipes, and soon
the believing blast ripened into a tor
nado that levelel huge trees, and laid

Four times was the mighty train
brought to a standstill and the obsta-
cles removed. We observed number
Of laborcr's dwellings blown down, and
the goods scattered to the winds How
ever our gallant train withstood the
storm nobly, aud by the time we had
reached Norway ridge, brighter sky
was over us, and the mists began NOV
Ing away to the northwarl. Smiles
took the place of frowns, and soon the
sunshine came dancing in at the win
dows telling Of brighter hours, and all
hearts were glad.
We reached Tomah at 1890, were
received by small, very small delega-
ton. A very neat reception speech
was made by Mr.. Bowker who apollo
gizcd for the condition Of things, as
surfing all that fragments were only
left Of what a short time before was
grand beautiful whole, that these We
were invitel to enjoy as best we could.

How Verdigris is Made.

Verdigris is termed by chemists a
"tribasie acetate of copper" and is formed
by the action of acetic acid upon metallic
copper in the presence of oxygen. There
are several methods of conducting the
manufacture; in one the refuse of grapes
after the expression of the juice in wine
making is used as the source of the acid
which rises in vapor from the decomposing
residuum. In another vinegar is used, the
copper being dipped in at intervals; in a
third flannels are wrung in vinegar and
wrapped around the copper which is then
laid where it will be acted upon by currents
of air.
The grape refuse is used at Montpelier,
in France, in the following manner. The
copper in very thin sheets is rubbed in
warm boxes where the requisite corrosion
is merely initiated. In the meantime the
grape refuse is packed in barrels and allowed
to remain until it begins to undergo acetic
fermetation. This accomplished, portion
of the material is spread in the bottom of
ditch lined with brich. On this is placed
a layer of the prepared copper then more
grape refuse, then more copper and SO on,
until the pit is full. When the grape
residuum becomes white its effect is spent.
The sheets are then removed and exposed
to the air. As soon as they become dry
they are wet with water and again exposed,
and so on six or seven times in succession,
until the layer of verdigris having become
sufficiently thick is scraped of. This
done, the plate is again rubbed with
vinegar, and in the grape refuse, etc.,
undergoes again the same treatment until
completely exhausted.

Stones of the Temple.

Three thousand years, with their wear
ing, wasting processes, have not entirely
destroyed the stones of the Temple. They
exist to-day, but not in that glorious
House which Solomon builded to the
Lord. No earthly Temple rears its solid
walls, built by Hiram's art, on Mount
Moriah. That is buried beneath the dust.
Where, then, do we find the stones that
once composed il? In one of two places,
and both wondrously strange Either in
a far-off land, on English soil, in the
Dudley Gallery Of the Egyptian hall,
London, or else in excavations now in
progress beneath Jerusalem We owe it
to the Palestine Exploration Society that
these "Stones ofthe Temple" are exhibited
as sacred relics in the metropolis Of Great
Britain, and they are being still dug out
from under the mass of debris that thirty
centuries have heaped over them in their
original position. These squared stones
that are recovered have on their faces the
original chisel marks made by the Fellow
Crafts of King Hiram. What testimony
do they bear to the origin, history and
truth Of Masonry What thrilling effect
would be produced in the work of the
third Degree, if the W. NJ. possessed one
of these stones How the Lecture would
glow with living light--a light reflected
from the buried centuries-the work of
three thousand years ago illustrating the
work of to-day
The spoils of the Temple were once
thought worthy Of forming the principal
decoration Of the most beautiful of Rome
triumphal arches and the Emperor Jus
tinian's highest ARCHITECTURAL ambition was
that he might surpass it. It's spoils are
now spread before the world, to teach il
that Freemasonry is not myth, tradi
ton, but reality, ancient and honorable,
founded upon. Truth as its cornerstone
and Wisdom as its cap-stone. Verify, the
stones of the Temple, even in their niateria
shape, are still with us, while their paral
lels, the spiritual stones-the Brethren who
are built into our Fraternity--are found in
every cline, and on every sea and land
Keystone.

THE GREAT CITIES OF THE WORLD
The Memorial Diiplon,otique gives the fol-
lowing interesting account Of the density
Of population in the great centres Of hu-
mainly throughout the globe. There are
nine cities having population exceeding
100000 souls, viz: London, $751;
900; Soochow, 1900, 900; Paris, 1885,
900; Pekin, 1,64S,000; Yeddo, 1854, 900;
Canton, ,236, 600; Constantinople, ! ,075,-
900; Sian-tan, in the province Of Human,
100000, and Tchantchaon-foo, in the
province Of Fakien, 100000. 1t win be
seen that, although London holds the first
place, the Chinese Empire can still boast
Of possessing more populous cities than all
the civilized States Of the West The
number Of cities possessing population
from above half million up to million,
is twelve, viz: New York, Vienna, Ber-
lin, Hang-kaow, Philadelphia, St. Peters
burg, Bombay, Calcutta, Fowchow, Tche-
bing, Bangkok and Kioto. Twenty cities
have a population Of from 100000 to
4S0, 900 inhabitants, thirty-three Of from
200, 900 to 300, 900, and ninety Of from
100, 900 to 100000 inhabitants. Europe
alone possesses III cities containing more
than $4,000 inhabitants, at the head Of
which stand London, Paris, Constantine
pie, Vienna, Berlin and st. Petersburg.
