Grand Chancellor julius <. Rsthbone, of
Washington, the founder of the order 10
this country. The lecture was very lucid
exposition of the philosophy of Pythianism,
and illustrated 1t with a great many apt
episodes Of Greek and Roman history. The
livery of the lecturer was excellent and be
gave great satisfaction to the very large au-
dience present.
Upon the stage, in semi-cirele, were
marshalled, the uniformed corps of the Or

old bsronial castle, which was in perfect
keeping with the purpose Of the meeting.
We are quite sure the large audience were
delighted with the whole affair. A banquet
followed the lecture, on which occasion the
feast of reason and flow Of soul, gave zest
to the enjoyment. ...

A bill has been introduced in the British
Parliament to abolish action for breach Of
promise Of msrriage. The Times and |othsr
newspapers highly approve the bill, and
there is reason to believe It will become q
law. Our own. jurisprudence is derived
from that of England. Changes made
there, If they are good, are likely to be
adopted here. 1t behooves us, therefore,
to inquire what the rational basis Of breach
of promise suit is, If they are any; and
what win be the effects Of Withdrawing this
time-honored remedy of deceived and in

maidens do II the ancient privilege o.

THE SILVER LINN G OF THE
CLOUD. -

There seems to be agrowing confidence
that the passge Of the silver bill, and the
settlement of the disturbing questions which
1t involves, will be productive of important
results to the industrial and commercia ir-
terests of the country. The New York Star
says, editorially: '.
During the last three weeks, the dry
goods and jobbiDg houses in this city have
more than realized their anticipations of
the spring trade, From East, West ana
South orders have been pouring in daily,
and all the indications point to steady in
crease as the season advances. Within q
few days an extensive down town merchant
Is reported to have said that he had never
before known business to develop so ener-
getically so early in the year.
Wholesale grocers confirm the highly
fiattering accounts of the dry goods men,
and are filling large orders at the South and
West. Hardware firms tell the same story
and hatters, shoemakers, and the various
small crafts are feeling the impulse of a
business reawakening. Another infallable
sign is tho crowded condition of our hotels.
Country houses are represented by hundreds
of buyers. Merchants from the far West,
from New England, from the Gulf and
Southern seaboard States are registered a.
all of our best known hostelries.
The doors, then are closed upon the era
Of commercial stagnation, and, after en>
