THE NATIONAL GRANGE. The ninth
annual session of the National Grange
began at LOUISVILLE. Kentucky, on the
18th, November, and after an impor.
tant session, adjourned on the 2di Dec
ember. The new officers elected, on
the sixth..da of the session, are as fol-
lows: Master, John T. Jones, 'Arkan-
sas; Overseer, j. F. Woodman, Michi-
gan; Lecturer, A. B. Smedly, Iowa;
Steward, "a. J. Vaughn, Mississippi;
Assistant Steward. Mortimer White
head, New Jersey; Chaplain, S.
H. Ellis, Ohio; Treasurer, F. M. Nc
Dowell, Kentucky; Secretary, O. H.
Kelly, Kentucky; Gatekeeper, o. Din
widdie, Indiana; Ceres, Mrs. j. T.
Jones, Arkansas. The manner Of selec-
ton was peculiar. No nominations
were made and no one was allowed to de-
cline any Office for which he might re-
ceive votes until after the balloting was
finished, and then only if he was cleo
ted. BY this means all caucussing, all
diverting of votes, all bargaining of
every kind, were avoided, and the best
men were chosen.

DROWNED. five o'clock on New
Years morning, Mr. VIM. Patterson,
bartender on the steamer North Pacific,
fell from the gang-plank while going
aboard the vessel, and before assistance
could be rendered, was drowned. It is
supposed that he was stunned by the
fall, as a wound on the forehead indi-
Gated that he had struck some obstruc-
ton in his descent to the water. The
body was recovered about ten minutes
after the accident, but all efforts to re-
suscitate were in vain. The remains
were buried in the Masonic Cemeter y
on Saturday last, Capt. Starr, the Off
GERS and crew Of the boat, and number
of friends of the deceased paying the
last sad tribute to his memory.

to any songstress who has yet appeared
on our boards. AS Buffalo Bill pre-
ferred his whisky straight, so we con-
fess a partiality for the good old songs

tended they. should be sung. Herr
Nielsen's performance on the violin is
simply wonderful. His execution is
pronounced perfect, by competent crit
les. We confess we never before heard
such rich combination of harmony as
he can produce from the instrument.
His fngures run over the keyboard as
nimbly as mice, and jump from the
notes in celler to those in the attic
with the wonderful agility of the Du-
crow Brothers on the flying trapeze.
We cordially commend Herr Nielsen and
his accomplished wife (nee Louisa Irv-
ng) for the patronage of the public.

NEW ORLEANS.

NhW VhhnaNcs
The date of this issue of the STAND
ARD is the anniversary of the battle OF
New Orleans, where one Of the most
decisive victories crowned our arms,
com manded by Old Hickory, and OPP
posed ly the British under Sir Edward
Pakenham. The causes which led to
the war of 1912, are too we'll known to re-
quire any comment. The contest had
been waged with varying results. Dur
ing 1914 the Americans were generally
successful on the ocean. Towards the
middle of December the capture Of New
Orleans was embraced in the campaign,
which it was hoped by series of bril-
liant victories would end in the triumph
of the invaders. The expedition was
at first successful. On the 14th OF Dec
ember a fotilla of American gunboats
was compelled to surrender; and on the
23d Gen. Jackson's forces were repul-
sed. On the 9Th of January, 1915, the
British made general advance against
the American entertainments; but after
one of the most brilliant engagements,
lasting but twenty minutes, the British
we're completely routed. Packenham
was slain, and two thousand of his men
were killed, wounded or taken prison.
ers, while the American loss was only
seven killed and Elk wounded.
A remarkable fact connected with
this battle is that peace between the
contending powers had been declared
several weeks before it took place. The
ship that bore the happy news was in
mid-ocean, contending with the wintry
winds and waves. Had the ocean tel
egraph been in use, the battle of New
Orleans would never have taken place.
One of the glorious incidents in the
National history would have been lost,
but the blood of the slain would have
been saved, and who can tell what
deeds might not have been achieved by
some of those who then breathed their
last on that terrible field of carnage.
THE MASQUERADE BALL.-The ball in
Columbia Hall, on New Years Eve,
was an exceedingly enjoyable affair.
The costumes worn were as variedas the
fancies of their wearers were dissimi-
lar, and ranged from the horribly gro
tesque shapes of demons to the light,
airy and ETHEREAL robes of angels and
goddesses. During the short time we
witnessed the pageant, the scene was
one of uninterrupted hilarity, and we
doubt not the enjoyment of the even
ing will constitute source of pleasant
remembrance for many future year.
The supper was provided by the ladies
of the Unitarian Society, and reflected
as usual great credit upon thsir culin-
airy skill.

PACIFIC MAIL TRouBLEs.--No only are
the steamers Fasco de CANA, Vancouver

company contemplate putting on line
from San Francisco to Panama. The

Occidental and Orintal Company have

Amsterdam of 800 tons and 45O-horse
power built last year for line to Amer

anna and San Francisco line in connec-

They are to load out from Liverpool to
