GRAND oHANcELLoR's REPORT,
Grand Chancellor Barker in his annual re.
port says that the order has been prosperous
throughout the year in high degree, being
numerically larger, financially sounder and
more influential among the great secret organ
izations of the world. The following new
lodges have been instituted in the State the
past year:
Granite Lodge, No. so. at Hallowell. February &c,
1885.
Calanthe Lodge. No. 81 at Augusta, March 1e,
1885.
oondeskeag Lodge. No. So. at Bangor, March 20,
Androscoggn Lodge, No. 54. at Bethel, May /,
1885.
The Grand Chancellor has visited forty of
the forty-two castle halls during the year. The
following recommendations are made:
That the per capita tax be reduced to Is cents
semi-annually.
That the grand lodge take such action as will
make all Pages and Esquires liable to pay dues and
that 1t will also take such further action as NAV be
necessary to render the subordinate lodges liable to
Pages and EsQuires for benefits and suggests that
such benefits be graded according to rank
That the Grand Lodge take such action as will
compel the officers of the subordinate lodges to
commit their respective parts in the ritual within
certain length of time after installation upon pen
atty of having their chairs declared vacant and in
turtherance of the last recommendation offers a
suggestion whether the order would not get better
work and have officers who would feel that they
must take more interest in their duties if the term
for which they are elected were changed from six
months to enc year.

During the year the executive board of the

& PlRD TRIAL.

The trial of ThoS. J.. Ford aud
others tor the killing of A. II.
Murphy some time since, in New
Orleans, and which was begun two
weeks ago, resulted in IL miStrial
being entered Monday, and the
jury was discharged. An inter
cepted communication disclosed u
corrupt motive on the part of two
of the jurors to acquit, and it is
believed that they had been tam
1ered with. During the trial sew
eral witnesses we're committed on
the charge of perjury, and many
dark devices Tesorted 10 to defeat
the ends of justice. The press of
the city is teeming with express.
ions Of Indignation at this startling
array of criminals who eem allied
together to defy the strong arm OF
justice. From the sentiment eX.
pressed by this outraged people We
shall expect TO see the city cleared
CT a large number OF the wicked
population by the eventual con
victlon of the murdererS, the perjur-
crS and corrupted jurors before
there is an end to The struggle.

WHY Is IT TRUs2

There are Two prisoners in our
county Jail who, at the October
term of the Circuit Court OF this
county, plead mot guilty." and
announced themselves ready for
trial. On account of the sudden
Illness of Judge Terral they we've
not then tried, and were remanded
TO jail in default of bail. And
there they remain, fed at the eX-
rense oil tho county, and denied
their constitutional right of speedy
justice except upon their paying
attorneys fees and demanding it.
Whether they are found guilty Oh
innocent uDon trial it is highly
probable the county will have to
pay this unnecessary expense, tor
il they were able to pay at the be-
ginning they will, in all probability
be rendered entirely peniless by
their long Imprisonment. Besides
this, as the law prcSames every
man innocent until the contrary is
proven, we are to presume that
two innocent mel are being de
prived OF their liberty-shut up in
u dungeon-iHnoverished, and
otherwise treated as criminals with
out the intervention OF Judge or
jury. This is il ~deplorable state of
affairs TO exist in Il civilized land,
and we had hoped that the duty OF
giving it publicity would not de-
volve upon us, and that a special
term of the court would be held.
We speak now only as Il duty in
the interest Of humanity. The reg
ular term of our Circuit Court does
not convene until April, and we
do trust that this blot upon the
fair eScntcheon of our institutions
of justice will not be permitted TO
exist two months longer. The
prisoners are colored, but human,
and ire entitled to the fullest pro
lection in life, liberty aud proper.

Progress of American sculpture
George Alfred Townsend

The first statues by Americans were
wood carving for vessels to ornament their
bows, and similar wood-carvings on cruel.
fixes in the Catholic churches, and occa-
sionally some wood carving in a public
building like the Philadelphia state house.
Col. John Trumbull told John Frazee
our first bust maker, about sixty years
ago, that sculpture would not be wanted
in America for another century. This
F'raZee was from New Jersey, and he was
a tombstone cutter; he began to make
ornamental mantelpieces, and then made
the first American bust about 1924, of
John Wells. Esq, which stands in Grace
church, New York. He also made the
bust of John JAY in the supreme court at
Washington, in 1881.
In his stoneyard Crawford, our first
American sculptor of prominence, began
his art. AS Joel T. Hart was born in
1910 he came very near being the earliest
of our sculptors. Brown, of Newburg,
was born in 1914; Story was born in
Salem in 1919. Bull, who has made the
monument of Emancipation for Wash
ington, was also born in 1919, at Charles
town, opposite Boston Ward, of Ohio
is said to have got the first idea of be-
coming sculptor by visiting Brooklyn,
when some one introduced him to Brown,
the sculptor, at the age of 49, Ward en-
rolled under Brown in 1850, and stayed
with him six years. Clark Mills, of
Washington. now dead, was born in 1915,
in New York state, and got the friendship
of some of the southern public men They
gave him among the first public com
missions to execute for the streets of
Washington.
