amusing incidents to relate of his novel excur-

pleasant, and is enthusiastic over the magnitf-

The large attendance which the several Ma.
sonic bodies have secured during the past
month, one of the warmest for twenty years, is
very remarkable. 1t is, no doubt, explained by

large number of young Masons who in the sev

selves with the work. No higher compliment
can be paid the officers of this jurisdiction ant
no stronger incentive to continued effort be helt
out than the interest which is being manifested
by the large attendance at the different meet
ings.
