By the politcn4S e our brother
Masons of the X. rs, on Friday
night last, in company with quite =
number Of invited guests, ourself and
better-half attended the annual festi-
val given by the Sir knights at their
Lodge Room. Sir Knight BRAFFIrT
gave brief history of the origin of
the order, after which the entire
company, about I3O Ladies and Gen
tlemcn, sat down. and feasted on the
good things Of this world, which were
spread in profusion before them on
the tables. 1t was season of social
enjoyment, by social band of broth
ers and sisters, in the true sense of
those terms. Delightful music was
furnished for the occasion, and. whilst
some OF the guests were enjoying
renewal Of ''auld acquaintance" 9TH
crs were dancing, as though their
SOL rs we're in it. We never atten-
ded a party where there was SO much
unaloyed satisfaction as at this Sir
Knights annual reunion. Bros.
Dougan and Citizens are most glorious

How can the priest or minister act the

Since our last publication, our
women have been persistent in their
personal persuasive influence to
wards the saloon keepers of the city,
and marked success has accompa
MED their efforts. We noticed the
surrender Of August Wooste. The
ladies' got him up supper, the pro-
ceeds of which were given to him,
as an naturalization for the loss
sustained by him in his bad venture,
and as encouragement for him to
do right in future Charles Mccoy,
after standing protracted siege,
Observation-Disclosures the pledge,
and quit. This is in deed and
truth q triumph, and every good
man and woman should thank God,
that n man possessing such sterling
good qualities as Charles Mccoy,
is saved from SO degrading and
mean n bnsine as liquor selling.
Welearn that Mr.. Mccoy, purposes.
with the substantial aid, furnished
by his new friends, to engage in
the butehoring business. We be
speak for him tho liberal patronage
of every temperance man and
woman in the city.
The meeting on Wednesday
night last, was the largest yet held,
and the movement evidently meets
with the heartiest appreciation of
large majority of our citizens.
A fund of $3.50 per month was
guaranteed by responsible sub.
scription. If the committee will
start q subscription for a guarantee
fund-five per cent. Of which only
should be called for month, il
found neeessary-no doubt $50, 900
could and should be raised. There
is scarcely one of our substantial
c1tizens, but would put down from
500 to $500 for a fund to put
down intemperance in our city.
AS poor as we are, we will devote
800 to this object.
The citizens again hold a tenn
perance meeting tonight at Ly-
ceum Hall, when we hope this plan
will be adopted to raise q temper
ance fund.
For our encouragement, we no.
tice our friends at Rushville raised
a fund of over $4,000.
Come to the meeting, tonight
friends, and show your faith by
your works. Let moral suasion
and legal suasion go hand in hand.

idea that | had forgotten you. Have
the kindness to disabuse your mind Of
that ERRONEOUS conception. l am re-
joiced at tho efforts being made to
bring the liquor dealers to terms by
the ladies. May their pluck and
fnithfulness, be the means of infusing
a trifie of stamina into US OF the
sterner sex, who have heretofore not
had the courage to do anything to
abate or check the monstrous evil.
We have already got little of the
right spirit infused into us, SO that
we can stand afar off and cheer them
on in their self-imposed labor of re-
form; and if they should succeed in
their undertakings, We may possibly
advance in the SPIRIT of our duty in
the temperance cause to become ac-
tors, instead of lockers on. / would
suggest that the ladies when they meet
with an obstinate case, that they COM
mence their meeting at six in the
morning and continue until twelve at
night, and follow it up day after day
until they accomplish their ends. OF
course they will have to be relieved at
regular intervals during the day and
evening, but they can do that, and
success will be sure; give copious and
frequent closes of moral suasion"

City Park.

Mr.. Editor: There is proposition
before the Common Council and re-
ierred to = committee, to purchase
forty acres of the Ruby farm" on the
West side of the Liberty Pike for a
Public Park. The proximity of the
land to the City is admirable, but the
idea, Of purchasing only forty acres
is ridiculous in the extreme. I am
really surprised to even think, let
alone the fact, that such men as John
Yaryan and George Barnes and other
''old citizens" Of Richmond would
sign such petition. Why, less than
GAO acres for q Park in a city of the
magnitude of Richmond with SO small
u debt, is absurd.
Here is proposition of some mag
nitude; and will certainly command
the respect Of the City Council, as of
vast importance; and will fully meet
the wants Of the honest tax payers of
Richmond, / allude to the purchasing
of Johnathan and Nathan Hawkins
farms. The two farms contain jointly
GO acres. Less than this amount of
land for Public Park for Richmond
would be ridiculous indeed. Then,
this land is SO beautifully situated on
both sides of the classic white water,
with her grand "old hills" and beau
tiful bottoms, with innumerable
springs, of pure crystal water gurgling
from the sides and base Of every hill
and flowing into this beautiful stream.
Then, again. it will afford employment
for the City Civil engineer. He can
spill more brains in the same time, in
identifying it than on any other piece
of land around the city: which viii be
of great advantage to the tax payers Of
Richmond.
The land no doubt can be bought
for 800, 90 per acre. which ought to be
considered cheap IS dirt. This would
make the whole tract cost $192, O0O. 90
This amount At 6 per cent, interest .

Richmond to pay for such . magni6-
cent concern in which every citizen
would have IN interest in maintaining

years, which would bear 6 per cent
interest, and become due after al Other
debts Of the city are paid. More

Any body who thinks pork-house is a
dirty place, ought to go and look through
A. P. Kirk & Co.'s establishment, and see
the condition in which their foreman, Mr..
Gus. Heath, keeps things. Everything
about the premises is as neat and clean as
possible; all the apartments in the various
buildings, from the cellar to the top, have
been cleaned scrubbed and whitewashed;
everything having the appearance of un-
cleanliness is removed from the grounds ad-
joining, and there is no place in Washing
ton in any better sanitary condition. OF
course it requires good deal of work and
pains to remove all uncleanness and Of
fensive smells after the butchering of 12,-
600 hogs, and without proper renovation
after the killing season, the premises would
be in a very filthy and unhealthy condi.
tiOn, but Mr.. Heath, besides being one oi
the best curers in the country, wants every
thing neat, clean and healthy about him, Of
which the condition of the pork house is
evidence.
