Meeting o. fhe Masonic Grand Lodge

Meeting Offhe Masonic Grand Lodge
LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct 81, 1879.
Interior Journal
There is a very large attendance at
the Grand Lodge Of Kentucky (AIasonic.)
which convened here on the Goth inst.
There seems to be gathering of the
clans" from every portion Of the State;
and hence many joyous meeting be-
tween members of the great Brotherhood.
OF course il is a mixed multitude and pre-
sents almost every variety Of social posi-
ton. But so far as Masonry is concerned,
all seem to have been tarred with the same
stick. The routine business Of the Lodge
is Of no special interest to any except the
initiated. We had a little episode this af-
ternoon to which the general public was
admitted, and which excited marked en-
thusiasm in the vast assembly, crowding
the immense Lodge room Of the Masonic
Temple from pit TO gallery. | allude to
the exhibition of the children of the Or
phans' Home in which the little ones APP
peared to the number Of about l25, vary
ing in age probably from 5 to Is or Is
years, neatly and Clearly attired, and ap.
parenty enjoying with true ohildhoods
zest, the gay and pleasing panorama in
which they were the chief objects Of at
traction. The exercises were varied, con-
sis.ing of speeches, recitations and sing
ing and changing from grave to gay, from
sacred to sentimental, from pathetic TO lu-
dierous, and eliciting the most rapturous
and sustained applause from the delighted
audience.
Still we noted that in gazing on the
scene many an eye call unused to the melt
ing mood" grew dim; and many fathers
heart reverted to the possibility Of his own
cherished ones being left in the cold at
mosphere Of early orphanage; and thank
ed God that this great charity had been
instituted.
There were several touching presenta-
tions Of bouquets by the little girls to the
officials which ELECTED several pretty
speeches. Speeches were made also by
several Of the invited guests. Those by
the Reys Drs. Dudley, Of the Episcopal
and Stuart Robinson, Of the Presbyterian
Church, were peculiarly eloquent, and pc
culiarly complimentary in reference 10
this great Masonic enterprise. The latter,
particularly, got OIL in his happiest mood.
Sorry have not space for a synopsis Of his
talk After dilating humorously on his
early horrors Of Masonry-its ways that
were dark, and its deeds that were secret
he frankly admitted that so much good
having come to light, he would take the
deeds Of darkness too with conGding
faith.
- MARRIED.-On the 22nd inst. at the
reeiAence Of Dr.. Morris, Chestn ut Street,
Louisville, by Rev. J. A. Boyle, Of Illus
tonville, Mr.. c. l.. Holmes, Of Middleburg,
KY, to Miss sallie G. Wilkeson, Of Mad
ison, Ind. The newly married pair took
the train Immediately for the home Of the
bridegroom.
-- The boys from your part Of the State
are behaving FULLY as we'll as could be ex-
pected, and will return better Masons-
aud Of course better men than they wers
when they left you. Look out for new
zeal Ia the Lodges, aud new ideas about
Cirouses, Theatres, the Opera, &c., accord
ing TO taste and training.

LONDON, Oct. Especial dispatches from
Afghanistan report that at one time, during
the attack of the 9th instant on the principal
heights before Cabnl, two companies of High
landers were opposed to two thousand At
ghans. The latter held their ground until
the Hlghlanders were within twenty yards.
The total Afghan force is said to have been
eleven regiments, with artillery and an i'm
mense number of hill-men. The backbone
of the resistance is broken for the present
but the whole country is seething with ex-
element and the people would rise at the
slightest reverse to the British. The whole
British force was to be within striking dis
lance of Cabu! on the 18th inst.
BERLIN, Oct. 10.-A dispatch from St. Pc

The Berlin North German Gazette says
Russia has intimated her willingness to per-
/ nit of the destruction Of Cabul, but will not
allow the annexation of Afghan.
