THE GREAT KNIGHTS TEMpLAR's PARADE.
The next great celebration in Philadelphia
will be the parade of the Knights Templars
at the meeting of the Grand Commandery of
the State of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia,
on May 80. The gathering of the Knights
from all parts of the United States and the
Dominion of Canada will be very large, while
representatives will be present from Europe
and Australia. The route of the parade,
which willtake place on Thursday, June l,
will be from Broad and Chestnut street, where
the line will be formed, along Chestnut to
Fifth, up Fifth to Market, along Market to
Thirteenth, up Thirteenth to and along Arch
to Broad thence up ON the east side of Broad
street to Columbia avenue, whence the column
will countermarch down on the vest side Of
Broad street to the Temple at Broad and Fill
bert streets, where the fine will be dismissed.
Thus the greatest display will be on Broad
street. The procession, which will be severa
miles in length, will doubtless be very impos
ing, with the swords, waving plumes
bright uniforms, martial music, and richly
mounted standards of the different States ane
Communicates represented in the line.

eG Forney, of the Phila. Press is a mono
maniac about the Sunday opening Of the In
tsrnational Exhibition. His paper is full of
items favoring this measure, but he refuses to
allow but one side to be heard in his paper.
He has lately adopted something like the fol-
lowing style Of noticing arrivals Henry

He is in favor Of opening the exhibition dur.
Ing portion Of Sunday" Forney might
greatly enlarge his list, and find plenty in ia
vor of opening during the entire day by pub
fishing items something like the following,
which, we will vouch for as generally correct :
All the rum sellers, beer vendors, gamblers,
keepers of dens Of iniquity, thieves, SCALA
wags and offscourings, together With more re-
spectacle people who love money more than
they fear God, are III favor of having the whole
Of Sunday set apart to secular pursuits.

WASHINGTON, May 23.--The troubles
among the Democrats in the House of Repre-
sentatives over Doorkeeper Fitzhugh have
not, it sc ems, ended. Fitzhugh vacated his
Office in compliance with the House resou-
tions of yesterday but in doing so carried
away with him certain valuable records. He
also went to the document room and asked to
be shown the several index books, showing
the number of documents and books drawn
by and still belonging to each member, These
being produced he coolly took them, and
placing them under his arm, walked off with
them, and all efforts to get them back have
been unavailing. nv. Cox, the Speaker pro
TEN, has directed the Sergeant-at-A Arms of the
House to take steps TO recover the records.
Fitzhugh says he has important information
which will make some Democrats tremble and
injure the party itself if it becomes public,
and he intimated that he may use it to Z" get
even with those who have disgraced him.

me tell of our eietory in this town. Colorado
Springs is but four years old. As soon as it
was born it was dressed in a prohibition suit,
and clause inserted at its christening that it
should wear forever prohibition clothes, under
penalty of having them taken away entirely
il disobedient. The child grew and waxed
strong, and for two years past on the sly has
stained itself with whiskey. So bold at last
had it grown that il began to demand chang
of apparel, and insist upon wearing license
dress. So the last three months the struggle
has been upon us. 1t seemed at first as If
the child had gone too far to be brought back
to parental authority, and many 0oodish folks
cried !" No use. let the child have its way"
&C., &c. But the women said, g No, we will
try by Gods grace to save the city, To
this end called public meeting, and talked,
and got the people to taking. Another meet
ing followed, and l talked again. Then a
temperance prayer meeting was organized,
which was generally attended then other
public meetings and / also sent to J. N.
Stearns for 500 prohibition documents, which
were distributed all over the town I; and lastly
| called for temperance prayer meeting to be
held on the morning of election commencing
at the opening of the polls. That was yester-
day april 3d), and our meeting was a grand
one. The people throngcd in, and such prayers
have not heard since left my blessed work
in Chicago. Then we scattered ourselves
through the four wards, and when night
closed the scene we had elected suery man on
the temperance ticket but one I This town is
now a city, lately incorporated and its first
mayor, thank God, will be a prohibition
mayor. The license folks elected one alder
man, and that is the only man on the entire
ticket they succeeded in clecting.
We will have a sspraise meeting on Thurs
day night o, lam SO happy now we have a
foothold in Colorado. Now for Dsnccr, if the
Lord opens the way. Be patient with this far
frontier work. Colorado wig be ours get
Denoer is Whiskey stronghold but we can

MoRRIsTowN, N. j., May 22.--The hail
storm here last evening spent its fury on
Morristown, and was but slightly felt four
miles from here. The hail stones killed chick
ems and many birds on the wing. Plate
glass was shattered as easily as the common.
Hail stones were found six and three.quarters
inches in circumference, and the ground was
covered with them. Not a greenhouse, hot
bed, or skylight in the town escaped, and
many plates of stained glass in the church
were broken. The fruit is greatly damaged,
If not ruined, but the storm did not reach the
great fruit districts outlying.
In Newton damage was done to buildings,
stores, and gardens to the extent of about
$s5, 900, and to bridges in the county, $780, 600
additional.
