THE SECRET SOCIETIES.
MASONRY.

On Monday evening another enjoy
able communication was had in Ohio
Lodge No. I, and there was very large
attendance OF members and visiting
brethren present. Work was had in the
Masters degree, and one fellow re-
ceiyed the third step in Masonry, and
the duties and requirements pertaining
TO the same we're wildly and surely I'M
pressed upon his mind, and which Will
continue With him during this life, and
II he heeds the beautiful lesson OF
morality taught to him at that time, 1t
must necessarily lead him to glorious
Immortality in the world beyond this Oh
ours.
On Tuesday evening Bates Lodge No.
SO, met as usual in monthly communities
tion, and after its routine work went
into class of instruction under the dl-
rection of Bro. Belleville, the Grand
Lecturer. We are glad to see this an
other class started on Tuesday even
ings, and which will prove great
source of good not only to the officers
OF the lodge who attend, but also to any
other brethren who desire to look on.
Bro. McCahon's class or instruction
which meets on Wednesday evenings,
continues to be attended with success,
for it can be observed in the work OF
Nelson Lodge and also in the protic-
iency OF which the officers have at
tanned. Let the good work 20 on, and
skillful laborers will be crowned with
laurels of success.
On Thursday evening Nelson Lodge
No. 30, met in regular communication
with fine turn out OF Jealous brethren
and visitors present. Work was had In
the entered apprentice degree, and one
aspirant was taught how he could serve
his Master with skill, fidelity and valor.
We were particularly struck and pecul-
iarly impressed on seeing the first step
being taken that evening by the young
craftsman, after being Informed be was
doing so in the presence of not only his
father, but his grandfather. 1t is not
often that such scene occurs, and we
learn from that observation that
Masonry is revered by one family from
generation TO generation, representing
the three stages of life as taught in
Masonry: Youth, Manhood and Old
Age.
On Monday evening Wheeling Com
mandery No. will meet and confer the
orders at that conclaye, and will use the
new pharaphernalia, II it arrives In
time, which will show up the work in
better shape than heretofore.
On Wednesday evening Nelson Lodge
No. 30 will hold q special meeting and
work In the Master Mason's degree.
The working team will no doubt do the
work, and 10 will be finely rendered.
From indications the lodge room will be
filled to OVERLOOKING with brethren de-
sirous to see the degree conferred.
We observe from ye local papers OF
the city Of Parkersburg that our mobiles
Of OSirus did finely last week In that
city. For they marched their camel
machines eight into that burg, and rode
some Of their people over the desert OF
hot sand TO partake OF an elegant ban
uuet prepared for the hungry and thirs-
" after degrees and honors. Well.
that's all right for our lulus TO go away
from home Wheeling about strangers in
strange lands, so long as they pay the
toll TO our camel driver, and who is an
awful good fellow and friend OF ours
when not on the burning sands, for al
though we have not had the opportu-
nifty of seeing the camel drove, yet he
showed us picture Of the animal stand
ing by the side of pyramid in Egypt,
which all know has sharp point on
top pointing to the sky. Well, we saw
about the same point on the back of the
camel, and could not chose which would
be the more healthy Of the two to take
a seat upon, such are the mysteries OF
the order.
