WE published lastsweek u synopsis of the
speech made to the Grand Lodge of En-
-giand, by Col. J.. }. Hickman, II. w. G. T.,
whose mission was to cause q settlement
and reunion Of the Grand Lodges. That
our readers may better understand the con-
dltlon of affairs and the cause of the secession
by the British members which occurred at
the last session of the r. G.. L., at Louis
vile, KY, we give the amendment pro-
posed for the settlement of the great colored
question, by ex-representative George Glad
stone, of Scotland, to Sec. Sd of Article 1st
OF the Grand Lodge constitution. 1t reads
as follows: sl4
st"t by 1: virtue Of Charters granted by it, all
etates. District and Territorial Grand LOdg-
es exist, andtWith it rests the power, by a
majority OF TWO thirds. Of the votes cast, to
deprive such State. District, or Territory
ana provincial Grand Bodies, of their Char
ters, and annlll their authority. provided
1hat such deprivation or annulment shall
only be made tor violation Of the laws OF
thls L. w. e. Lodge. No more than. one
Grand Lodge Shall be chartered in any State
Dlstrlct, or Territory, except that in any
'Srand Lodge territory where differences OF
language or race preclude united working,
aduplicate Grand Lodge charter may be
granted, covering the same territory, and
having. jurisdiction over all Subordinate
Lodges OF the language or'raee for which it
IS granted; and in cases where the Grand
lodge excludes persons from membership,
OWING to language OF race, its jurisdiction
snail, SO far as the. excluded community is
concerned, be considered unoccnpied ter
: aleory, and the Right Worthy Grand Lodge,
OF any Grand Lodge, may mission such per-
son sons Till they have auiiicient Subordinate
lodges to receive a,duplicate Grand Lodge
;9narter Wlthco-equal powers with the SEN
lor Grand Lodge in that Territory.''

accounts Of the progress of our order that
has reached MS, and we take pleasure in CIV
ing it place at the head OF our column. An
addition of tWenty-nine new members with
in the first two months of II lodges exist
anee, is a success not often attained, and we
venture that it will take q herculean effort
on the part OF some Of our old and we'll es-
tablished lodges to accomplish this much
within whole quarter. We shall expect a

! After dinner the boarders gathered IN the

Ter who is by big odds the greatest talker in
he house, took about half an hour 70 tell the
blowing story:
| AT house where | was living last year
IL Thirty ninth street, there was bOarder
Who excited great curiosity He came from
Egypt, and his name was WenyXter. One
morning when we were standing on the back
porch, he took a thrcc.cornercd seed from his
pocket and thrust 1t into f1ower-pot on the
! ,ail. In less than five minutes il had sDrout-
cd about six feet high, Il stalk like sun
lower. One Of the boarders hung his hat on
I for a jest. He turned moment to call at
entlon to the feat, and when he faced about
again the hat was beyond his reach; the
| stalk had grown six feet in as many seconds
Il was still growing when the boarders went
down town, and when they came back to din
ner they saw tho stalk up above the roof of
The house. with several twists around the
chimney, and sticking up above it like a
lightningrod, with the rash mans hat still on
the end"
with one exception" said Mr.. Muguffin,
looking hard at Magruder, "the biggest liar
ever knew lived in the same house with me
once in Thirty eighth street, He came from
Abyssinia, and his name was Gigyxter. And
may add that, present company always cx-
cepted, he was the longestwinded man ever
knew. Talk? He would talk by the hour
and bore the boarders, and after he had driv.
en- two men crazy the landlady secluded him
somewhat by making him take his meals
alone at separate table. But he would
keep up his clatter-lighting on people IN the
halls and in their rooms, and when he had
exhausted every body he would go to his room
hnd talk to himself.
"One night the boarding house was barned
Gown. Gigyxter lost his life, and IN saving
| two ladies who rOomed on the top floor got

baished the hair off his forehead, revealing
slight scratch. Suspicion fell upon poor
servant who had been discharged the day be.
fore, and he was locked up in the Tombs on
cir.umstantal evidence that looked dead
against him But after the inquest, enlight.
ened by the testimony of those who roomed
next to GiEyXter, that he had been heard
talking rapidly for an hour before the FIRE
broke out, the surgeons again examined the
Abyssinians remains, and proved beyond
doubt the Innocence of the servant, by show
Ing concusiyely that Gigyxter's continuous
talking had made so much friction in his
jaws thatit set his head atire, the flames com

and GiCyNtcr went up, beyond doubt the
first recorded ease of man who was talked
to Ccath
"Haguftin,' said Magruder, soothingy lay
ing his hand on his friends head, IL wouldn't
talk any more just now if were you. Your
head is quite hot already. Men York Sun.

Here an 50 many pretty things to be pur.

very easy to make selection from the many
well.hllcd baskets, stands, vases, etc, that al
most any good florist will provide; but, if
money is not plenty there are few so poor
that they cin not buy one of those small

Then, whcnthc tinman comes around for the

in a few bits 81 broken crockcry, then mix two
parts good garden soil, one part silver sand
and one partcharcoal, powdered fine. This
compost WHEN thoroughly mixed, is the best
thing for young ferns. Then plant which,

that are verybcauiiiul and easy of cultiva.
ton are the smaller varieties of pOlypouium,

Then, If yol can not afford new and hand

into very beautiful articles by coating with

will be a beautiful bronze.
There are numerous ways of making hang.

enough when completed and flied. The
most popular way Of making those rustic
ones that are SO much admired, being a
