Hugh Blakely, VIM.
A. Lee Elliott, S.. W..

In the afternoon, Bro. J. w. Darby con-
ferred the Eastern Star Degrees upon about
thirty eligible ladies and quite anumber Of
Masons, after which the company adjourn
ed to splendid dinner furnished by the
ladies, thorough appreciation of which
was made manifest. Several Masonic
friends from abroad were present, of whom
were Bro. E. A. D. Salter, of Sharon Lodge
No. 104, Willmar, and w. w. Rhodes, of
Dakota Lodge No. 7, Hastings, and their
wives. On the whole, it was very pleas
ant entertainment. ~
Under the ruins of the old castle of
King Dagobert the Able Dennis found a
hens nest full of eggs; They had been
there 1900 years, hidden from the light
and air and changes of temperature, and
the hen herself had, perhaps, barely escap-
ed when the falling walls sealed her eggs
Theoretically for future times. Able Denis
put three eggs under hen, and they were
Matched.
We got some eggs belonging to that
nest-full few days ago, from an angel-faced
youth who vouched that they had been
laid only the day before and that he was
personally acquainted with the hens that
laid them. If they weren't 1900 years
old they were a good deal older than we
liked 'em to be.

ANOTHER V1cr1M.-The Fergus Falls
Advocate publishes the following extract
from letter written to w. P. Smith, of
that village, by his father, J. G. Smith, who
went to California from there last October {:
"Your head is level in your decision to
remain in Fergus Falls, for it has the best
prospect of any place within my knowledge.
If you could only see the poor creatures
coming in here, and nothing here for them
to do, you would never want to move.
There are 50 many coming in here without
means for their support, and no opportuni-
ty of earning living, that the State has or
gained aid societies to take care of them.
The most of them are so poor they cannot
get home, or they would go faster than they
came.
"Our supply of water has given out, and
we have been obliged to suspend work in
our mine. There was very little rain dur
ing the winter, and all the miners will be
forced to lay up during the summer"

Advices from Berlin state that
eighty ecclesiastics are at present inn
prisoned in Posen alone. This looks
more like weakness on the part Of
bismarck than craftsmanship. And
the mistake on the part of the Prus-
sian Government is the threatened
re-enactment of the law forbidding
intercourse between the Catholic
clergy and the Pope, and also wholly
suspending Papal authority in that
country until the Pope abandons his
pretensions to cancel laws of Prussia.
