We arrived in Louisville on Sunday
morning at o'clock-a run of 26 hours
from jackson. We we're the recipients of
many courteous attentions from the Tenn
plars of Louisville, who furnished carriages
tor ride TO the Masonic Widows and Or
phans Home in the suburbs of the city.
Our visit appeared to be greatly apprecia-
| ted by the orphans, of whom there are
| about one hundred in the home. Each Wis
itor, as he registered his name, observed
| the printed notice to remember the or
phan." The Home, when its buildings are
all completed, will accommodate about
| three hundred orphans and the Masons OF
kentucky are creating an endowment
fund by an assessment on the lodges for
series of years, in order to i.Isure the main
tenance of the institution.
We left Louisville on Sunday evening at
4 O'Clock, via the Short Line. A special
train of ten Pullman cars had been provi
ded. and assigned to the different States ac-
cording to the number that had reported.
Thousands of people were out to witness
the passage of the train through the city
We arrived at Cincinnati about 8 o'clock,
and Cleveland at an early hour on Monday
morning We found the hotels crowded,
and the prospect of having to camp oua
seemed to be first-rate for several hours
Finally, Mississippi Headquarters were es
tablished at the Kennard House, and our la
dies were provided for at private residences.
The kindness of Sir Knight Wheeler, of
Oriental -Commandery, is gratefully ac-
olO hNr
pensed to the Mississippi ladies.
The grand parade took place on Tuesday.
Upwards of six thousand Sir Knights and
56 bands Of music were in marching order
at half-past 9 o'clock. Pennsylvania and
Mississippi formed the seventh division.
The following Mississippians had the cour-
age to undertake the eight mile march I:
Fairchild, Clifton, Webb, Power, Smith,
fowler, Thomas, Bodenhamer, Walker,
Buchanan, Ross, Romberger, Lawrance.
Sir Knight Fairchild, Grand Commander,
and Sir Knight Clifton, as acting Captain
General. The banner was carried by the
Sir knights alternately. Two of the Geor-
| gia Sir Knights marched with US. We were
the recipients of many kindly demonstra-
tions along the line of March. The fact
/ that Mississippi had more Sir Knighs in
| the column, than some of the Northern
States, elected no little friendly comment
When passing by the residences where the
! Mississippi ladies were stopping, our gall
| liant Captain General gave the order to
''uncover," which was promptly Obeyed,
and sabres presented. The people in ad-
| Joining residences seem to have understood
the reason for these particular demonstra-
| hoo inin in
! The sessions of the General Grand En-
campment are highly interesting. Mis-
sissippians who have voice and vote in
| that Grand Body are: w. y. Fairchild, E.
! NJ. Walker, j. l.. Power, w. 2. fowler, all
| representing the Grand Commandery, and
! Past Grand Commanders JnO. h. Fulson,
G. w Cox and Oliver Clifton The next
| Grand ConcIave will be held at Chicago
1 citizens of that city having offered extra
ordinary inducements. Hurlburt of Illi-
| nois, was elected Grand Master, Bragg, OF
Alabama, Deputy Grand Master Dean, of
| Mas sachusetts, Grand GeneralissimO; Lyt-
| tie, of Ohio, Grand Captain General With
ers, of Virginia, Grand Senior Warden !;
| Richardson, of Texas, Grand Junior War
| den; Simon, of New Y ork, Grand Treasu
rer; and Parvin, OF Iowa, Grand Recorder.
Thanks to the courtesy of Mr.. c. W.
Loomis, who is a property holder and res
| ident here, the Jack sonians were enabled to
see the city and beautiful suburbs. Mr.
LOOMS kindly drove us about fifteen miles
| in one evening, and pointed out to us many
points of interest. The drive through
Euclid Avenue, and through Wade's Park
and Cemetery we especially enjoyed. Mr..
LOOMS is erecting twelve thousand dollar
| house on Euclid avenue. AS an evidence
| of the appreciation in value of property
here, Mr.. L. pointed out to US a vacant lot
on the corner of Wilson and Prospect av-
enue, owned by our Senator B. X. Bruce,
and which he purchased some years since
| for $4,000, and for which he has since re-
fused $4,000. Cleveland has a population
! OF about $4,000, and is one of the hand
soonest and most enterprisiug cities of the
Union. If time and space permitted, l
| would like to speak in detail of its princi-
pal manufacturing interests. In one thing
| it is deicient-hotel accommodations for a
large crowd, but such a crowd as was here
this week, may never visit the city again.
is safe to estimate that twenty Thousand
| non-residents have been here this week.
! Several of our party have visited the He
brew Orphan Asylum, to which all the
B'nai Birth Societies in Mississippi con-
tribute, and they speak in great praise of
this noble charity, which affords home
and education to about three hundred Or
phans. 1 deeply regret that my engage
ments were such, could not visit this in
etitution.
Nine of our Mississippi party leave to-
morrow morning for Niagara-thence
homeward bound. In haste,
Yours,
LOGAN.
