There is mourning, and gnarling, and
gnashing Of teeth at the Fair Grounds 20
illogical Garden. Lucy, thu lioness, is dead.
The old lion is widower, and Mr.. Kalb, the
Secretary, refuses to be comforted. The
former growls and roars in rage, and the
latter wrings his hands and bewails his
.cussed luck" It was announced over a
week ago that Lucy was in an interesting
situation, and would soon add litter Of cubs
to the population Of the animal kingdom.
The important event took place about the
time predicted by Mr.. Kalb, but it proved
fatal to the mother. Three well-developed
cubs were brought forth yesterday, but Lucy
all the attention that the skill of man could
bestow, and was tenderly watched and fed,
but all proved unavailing. A dark chamber
was fitted up for her in the cage, and soft
bedding was provided, with dainty food and
such medicines as were thought to be suit
able. In her last moments Lucy was at
tend by three skillful physicians, but unfor-
tunately they had never before been called in
to doctor sick ioness, and Of course dis
agreed as to the treatment. Mr.. Kalb had
attended similar case at the Gardens some
time ago, but as he was unccessful he thought
proper to consult the regular faculty. The
noble animal suffered intensely, and seemed
aware of her approaching dissolution. She
cast suspicious glance at the three doctors,
|'but looked confdingly into the face of Mr.,
Kalb as the friend upon whom she relied in
the hour Of her need. She grew weaker and
weaker. and her groans became fainter and
:. fainter, and at last closed her eyes, and, with
convulsive shiver, handed in her chips
Mr.. Kalb was deeply affected, but tears were
unavailing. He despairs almost of being
! able to raise family of lions at the Fai
Grounds, and will turn his attention to tn
moro robust bears, and other animals tina
, are acclimated. The death Of Lucy and he
: triplets is serious loss to the Geological
) Garden, as the ioneas was one of the mobiles
: Of her species, and the young ones, had the
2 lived, would have been great attraction I

Grand Secretary, that you may take such
action relative thereto as may seem proper
In order that suitable facilities might be
offered to the fraternity for attending the
funeral of our late Grand Master, author
ICED the charter of special train to convey
the funeral cortege from Saint Paul to Ltch-
field This involved an expense Of $525,
which in my opinion should be betrayed out
of the funds of this Grand Lodge, and
would suggest that this bill be audited and
allowed as soon as practicable.
DEATH OF W.. BRO. A. RICHARDSON.
He whose duty it was, and who for nearly
a quarter Of a century faithfully guarded the
outer portals of this Grand Lodge has been
summoned hence, to that Lodge beyond the
grave. The grim messenger found our
brother at his post, as became the brave old
soldier that he was.
Bro. Richardson was appointed Grand
Tyler by p. g.. NJ. Moses Sherburne, Jan.
5th, 1855, and was present at all subsequent
meetings of this Grand Lodge held since
that date AS an officer of this Grand body
almost from its organization, being nearly a
quarter of century, Bro. Richardson, at
each communication was present to assume
his station and guard sacredly the trust
placed in his charge by each succeeding
Grand Master.
To the fraternity, who through long ac-
quaintanceship had learned to know and
love our departed brother, need not remind
that the genial smile and kindly salutation
of Bro. Richardson was one of the pleasant
memories connected with each communica-
ton of this Grand body. Never more will
he receive from the Grand East on earth
again, the command, receive from me the
implement of your Office, and repair to your
station No, my brother, although your
station may be filled by brethren Jealous in
the performance Of their duty, your memory
will be cherished by us as an upright man, q
soldier true and steadfast to the great prin-
ciples that make the perfect man, as q
brother Mason who measured his every &C
ton by the plumb line of rectitude, holding
always strictly in view the cardinal principles
of our order, we feel and deplore the loss We
have sustained. May it impress us with q
just sense of the frailty Of human life, thai
profting BY your example, we too may be
each of US.

DEDICATION OF NEW LODGE ROOM AT MANKATo.
The brethren of Mankato Lodge No. IL,
having completed new hall, I, upon their
application, granted them q Dispensation in
order that they might dedicate the same for
Masonic purposes.
A commission was issued to P. g.. Mas
ter Grove B. Cooley, who, with the assistance
of r.. W.. L. 2. Rodgers, brother j. II. No
bles, and other brethren, performed the ded-
icatory ceremony. The brethren at Mankato
are to be congratulated on the completion Of
their new Masonic edifce, showing as it
does, that the craft is not only prosperous,
but that its interests have been entrusted to
the safe guardianship Of prudent and discreet
custodians.

Dassel applied for Dispensations to establish

plicaMons in the first instance were made to
our late Most Worshipful Grand Master
Bro. Braden, who, as inferred from COM
munication received from him, did not think
it advisable to grant the Dispensation petit
toned for. think our Grand Master would
have been willing to have granted Dispen-
sation for Lodge at either Of the localities
named, but doubted the propriety Of attempt
ing to establish two Lodges in such close
proximity considering the limited population
of each. The brethren at Cokato subsequent
ly renewed their application for a Dispense
ton, which declined to grant, as felt that
the policy as indicated by our Grand Master
was such as would best serve the true inter
ests of the craft.
DIsPENsATIoN FOR LODGE AT MORRIS.
In compliance with petition from the
brethren at Morris, accompanied by the
proper vouchers, granted a Dispensation
for new Lodge, to be located at Morris, to
be known as Golden Sheaf Lodge, No.,

President Hayes purposes Mr.. Howe declared
that the President had offended both republ-
canism and equal citizenship as Samuel J. Til
den never would have offended them. Mr.
Iilden would have excluded Packard and
Cham berlain because he decided against their
election; President Hayes excluded them be
cause thelr election was disputed. Mr.. Howe
then spoke of the prosecution of Anderson, of
the Louisiana returning board, and argued TO

as defaulter to the government, and the in
