Temperance and Life Insurance

DIR. JnO. w. Harmon, Most Worthy
Chancellor of the Benevolent Degree
Council of the United Friends of en-
perance, lectured at the NJ. L. Church
in Pulaski on last Saturday, Monday
and Tuesday nights upon the subject of
Temperance. He is making an effort to
establish temperance organizations all
over the land with this Benevolent De
gree incorporated. The good that tenn
perance orders do is enough within it
self to commend them and to induce all
people to avail themselves of their ben
efits, but the addition of the Benevolent
Degree adde new feature which,
though lately introduced is working ad-
mirably and increasing rapidly. The
plan is simply this: a tax of 20 to so
cents, according to age, is levied upon
members, and the whole amount depos-
tied is to be paid to the widow or other
beneficiary of the first member who
dies. Immediately another assessment
is made, ready for the next member who
dies, and so on. Something near hun
dred lodges have been established in the
South and it is estimated that the num-
Der of members will soon reach ~, 900.
Tho amount now given to the benetici-
aries of deceased brothers is limited to
$4,000, and SO as the mem bershiD in
creases the assessments can either be
reduced or the benefit increased. We
are of opinion that this plan il good
one, and we would like 70 see the Doc
tor succeed in establishing a lodge in
Pulaski. We have already q lodge oil
L. +. of I. in Pulaski, and dOu btless
some OF the present members will avail
themselves of the advantages OF this
plan, and IL will doubtless induce others
TO Join, thus working Q double good.

The Chicago Tribune congratuIates
the Republican party on the election OF
Andrew johnson, and thus explains
why: He always denounced secession,
and cOmbatted the pernicious doctrine
of States Sovereignty and when an
open issue is between Democrats and
Republicans on the fundamental ideas Of
the two parties, he will be found doing
good work for the Nationalist party"
A brief review of -JOhnsOn's war rec
ord will satisfy any one that the trib-
une's conclusions are correctly drawn
from JOhnsOn's own acts and utterances.
But though correctly drawn, they may
not do to rely upon, because the facility
with which he discarded Democracy
and embraced RadicaliSm, and the ease
with which he betrayed Radicalisn and
turned disOrganizer-a sort of political
tertiafnl Qlsid-make it difficult to toreSee
where he will land from his next lofty
tumble. But if the Tribune will tell us
what will he for JOhnsOn's interest and
chances OF promotion when that great
issue is made between liberty ANA lles-
potism, we will agree to tell him pre-
ciSely where Andrew johnson will
stand. IN the meantime we commend
the Tribune's reasoning to those who
voted for the great CZarks-
Ctlte Chronicle.

Bal M asque at Prospect.

EDITOR CITIZEN Having attended
the Masque Ball at Prospect on the eve
ming OF the 9Th inst, it is due to saw OF
that pleasant people that their reputa-
ton for hospitality has not been over
drawn. This feature impressed me first,
last and always, and is worthy to have
first mention.
The visitors to the Ball cannot forget
the attentions shown them by Drs. NJ Of,
w. and g. and Mr.. Mel. and their esti-
mable ladies To Mrs. DIR. NJ, for my
self and accompanying friends, return
especial thanks for her kindnesses.
The Ball was largely attended-old
and young attending in thrOngs, and all
rejoicing with exceeding great 10y
MIR. ROb't W., the generous, kindly put
his mansion at the disposal of the party,
at which place ''there was a sound OF
reyelFy by night" mingled with the
soft voices of lovely maidens and CAV
young men, with now and then dis
cOrdant note heard from the bachelors
and widowers. Among the characters
IN mask, the following were conspicu-

Miss j. A. as Night; Miss T. b. as Old
Grandma; Miss Eva r. as Night; Miss
Willie K. as the American Press (from
the n. I. Herald to the Lawrence Jour-
ter and Miss NJ. NJ. as the a b C's were
taultless. Misses Ella N, Tennie ). and
Nlrgie w. were not masked, but con-
tributed largely to the pleasantness of
the entertainment.
Among the gentlemen will mention
Aessrs. X, N. w. as Big Injin; c. b. as

Buffers game and that of his crowd
in Congress is perfectly apparent. Is is
By wholesale. repeated, and violent de-
nuneiatiOn of the Southern people as
murderers, outlaws, assassins, and the
like, to provoke their representatives, on
the floor to some outbreak in speech or
act which they can use to infiame the
North, their idea being that, no matter
what the prOvocation or how tauuting
the language may be, Southern men,
hers who may resent it win be aliudged
to be in the wrong. AS a matter OF
fact, in the last six wears, not one
Southern Senator or member has ever
made the slightest reflection upon the
North, though day after day for that
time and longer they are forced to listen
to the severest revilings of their constit-
uen5s uttered sometimes by men who
have used their official positions to build
up colossal fortunes C0urter-J0urnaE.
