George Alfred Townsend says two
thirds of Congress now favor buying
telegraphs up under the rights reserv-
ed in chartering them. He adds "lt
may be that Congressman have been
bitten in the recent pooling, or the
telegraph companies may be at the
back of the scheme but it would not
cost the Government over 800, 900, 600
to take every telegraph line that exis s,
and with the water out it would only
cost about SAC, 900, 900 and give the
people and press reliable, regular, rea-
sonable telegraphio rales."

Forksvil1e, La, November 10, 1881.
Whereas, this Lodge has been called to
lament the death of Past Master Bro. John
NJ. Brooks, who for years has stood in front
doing his whole duty rs n member, and,
Whereas, it is Il pleasant duty to recall to
memory the virtues which embellished his
life. as Il Mason and Christian citizen, still
it is our mournful duty to remember his
death, by telling tho esteem in which he
was held by the order OF our brotherhood !;
Therefore, Be it resolved by Trim Lodge,
No Ill,
l. That death--the memorable end of all
animated life-has seen proper to remove
from us a good and true brother, from tho
family circle an afIectionate, indulgent hus-
band, brother and step-father, and from the
community an upright, straightforward
Christian citizen. The loss sustain
here cannot be estimated, and for which
earth can give no relieving coincidence.
2. That wo extend to the family OF the
deceased, in this their great distress, our
sincere sympathy and condolences but,
though the husband, father and brother
is gone-though the wife and children miss
his cheerful presence, the lodge his useful
ness, the church his important counsel; yet
VIC must remember that all have to yield
to tho st ern mandate Of tho Grand Master
above; believing that our loss inures to
his eternal welfare.
;. That, in token of our respect for his
memory, this report be spread upon our
records and that page there Of DC dedicat-
ed for the Same, and that tho brothers OF
the lodge wear the usual badge ofmourning
for thirty days.

proves to have been a most sentimental
robber. He was bold enough to attack
and rob train loaded with men.
but when he found himself convicted
and sentenced to imprisonment, his
courage gave way and he seemed COM
pletely heart-brokcn. Prison life was
evidently not suited for him, for he
took sick as soon as the doors of the Jail
closed on him, and Il It week died, the
cause of his death being, so the doctors
say, nostalgia, or home-sickness.
