OLD Ben got away with them up in

the fact that this result gives evidence,

racy has stultided itself by nominating n
man who has positively declared that he
belongs to no party, and who relies upon
dcmlgogcal appeals to the worst elements

success. The sober second thought will
suggest that BUTLER's Worcester nomina-
tiou was the result of usurpation by hired,
bull-dozing mob. 1t can have no other
effect than 10 combine the respectable DEM

Masonic Aprons.

The Deputy Grand Master of Ar
kansas says:
q Operative Masons, when at work,
wear an apron to protect and preserve
their garments from spot or stain. A
white apron is therefore very appro-
priately used in Masonic ceremonies,
as emblem of purity and innocence,
and it is intended as such to impress
upon the wearer of it the duty of pre-
serving pure and spotless character,
unstained by corruption and free from
vice.
"When we see an operative Mason
! whose clothes are all spotted and stain.
ed With mortar and dirt, We know he
| does not wear an apron at all, or is I'M
concerned about tho appearance Of his
clothing. So it is when we see a
speculative Mason indulging in in
temperance. or hearing him take the
name of God in vain or otherwise liv-
ing in violation Of the moral law, we
think at once he has never learned the
use of the Masonic apron and that his
soul is spotted and colored with viola
tions of his obligations as a Mason

that it was an emblem of innocence
and the badge Of Mason. and was
told to "wear it with pleasure to himself
and honor to the fraternity" How
does he feel, as clothed with his spot
less emblem of purity, he stands in
full view Of those in and out of the
Order, who observe his work and con-
versation to be corrupt.
''Oh! how his conscience must burn

How should the Incorporate one feel
when his trembling hand drops upon

blem, and he thinks Of the ruin he is
bringing upon himself, the disgrace

"Brethren, are we wearing our
aprons. with pleasure to ourselves and
honor to the fraternity? Or are they
a displeasure to us in constantly re-
minding US Of broken vows and vIo-
lated pledges, in the taking of which
we call God to witness our sincerity
and fortitude? Are we wearing them
TO the dishonor of the craft By having
the standard of morality of the Order
lowered to our own immoral conduct?

When Sumner was 81.

l-NSH L YIN 4IiDuHs.I
The biography of Mr.. Sumner is
brought down in these volumes to the
Fourth Of July, 1S45, the date of his
famous Grafton on 1.-The True Grand.
eur Of Nations" which was Che first
revelation to the public of his latent
gifts as an orator, the freedom and the
boldneSs of his mind. and the intrepid
frankness with which he could grapple
with what be deemed perilous error
in public opinion. The scene is thus
described by the author. "After the
prayer, the reading Of the Declaration
of Independence, and music from the
choir, the Mayor introduced the ora
tor. Summers presence, as he came
forward, drew undivided attention,
The prominent citizens in the audience
had met him in society or in the rou-
tine of his profession, and others had
noted him on the street; but probably
the greater number Of his hearers now
saw him for the first time. He was
then the impersonation Of manly beau.
ty and power-of commanding stature,
his figure no longer slender as in
students days, well developed his
features finely cut, his dark hair hang
lag in masses over his left brow, his
face lighting with a smile which always
won him friends at first sight. He
wore a dress coat with gilG buttons
fancy Of lawyers at that period--and
white maIstcoat and trousers. His
gestures were unstudied and followed
no rules; the most frequent one was
the swinging of the arm above the
head. His voice was clear and strong,
resounding through the hall but at all
times falling in cadences mellow and
pathetic. Seldom has there been
seen on the platform a more attractive
presence than his, as now, at the age
of 81, he stood for the first time be-
the people assembled to hear him. His
Grafton was fully in his memory, and
he spoke Tor two hours from memory
without referring to notes, except for
statistics. The press of the day
speaks of the discourse as ga produc.
ton of high order Of talent, eloquent
ly written; aud abounding with orig
inal thoughts and powerful expires
slons. He attacked slavery, the mi!it-
airy, and other institutions, like a glad
iator."

A GREAT MANY people, all over
the country, look on national banks as
great monopolies, and there seems to
be an almost universal opinion that
they receive undue privileges and ia
vors from the government. This is
one Of the leading theories Of the
greenbackers, and one they dwell upon
! with considerable forcee,
The best answer to all this talk is
tho fact that national banks are de-
creasing instead Of increasing, and
that the privilege" of starting a ma
tional bank is one granted to any one
who wishes to embark in the banking
business. Capitalists are beginning to
find out that more money is made by
private bankers that the :exclusye
privileges which national banks are
supposed to have, turns out to be Chi
merical. Within a year, thirteen of
them in New York changed to priv ate
banking houses, and in other States
the change is more marked. Several
in Wisconsin have abandoned the ma
tional system, and arrangement are
being perfected by the incorporatOrs of
the First National Bank Of Eau Claire
to transform the manner of conduct
ing their national system. The res-
sons asslgued for the new departure
are the exactions made by the general
