GRAND LODGE h. OF P.-The date
for the annual meeting of the Grand
Lodge of Knights of Pythias, has been
changed to June 4th, and Olympia Sc.
lected for the place of meeting. A
circular letter from Grand Chancellor
Ronald, OF Seattle, gives as a reason
for the change from May 18th, that
the Supreme Chancellor, will be able
to be present on that occasion, but on
no other date, and that in view of the
benefit to be derived from exemplifi-
cation of the secret work of the new
ritual, and the suggestion of practical
ideas that will greatly benefit the
order, this change is made.
A NOVEL CURE FOR INvAL1os.-Geo.
d. Shannon has been performing the
part of the Good Samaritan, the past
week. in organizing parties of the
halt, lame and decrepid, or those suf-
fering from illness of any form, to
make excursions to the terminus of
the street railway, at Tumwater, plac-
ing the use of the cars at their service
gratuitously, and enlivening the occa-
sion by his own genial presence. Mr..
S. is the king of invalids. Himself q
sufferer, he knows just how to relieve
the distress of others by eopious appli.
cations of good nature and sunshine.
May he live long to test the virtue of
these practical tonics for GONZALES
cents.
A FORETAsTE OF THE INEVITABLE
That was horrible joke which wag
played Gil comrsde who was sleeping
off the effects of prolonged jag, the
other day. The wag was the possessor
of cane which has a very realistic
snake carved as encircling it. This he
elevated above the bed and by a circu-
lar motion exhibited very creditable
representation of a snake crawling.
When it caught the eye of the owner
OF the jag, he started up with eyes
fairly leaping from their sockets, and
the greatest CONSERVATION depicted in
every feature. Had the wag not i'm
mediately betrayed his agency in the
matter he would doubtless have gone
into commissions. The experience had
the effect Of curtailing his spiritual
supply just twenty-four hours, when
he resumed his search for the serpent
of the still.
MISPLACED CONF1DENcE.-When the
Kelley Institute was established in
this city, few yeays ago, it must be
said 10 its credit that it courageously
tackled the most confirmed cases OF
inebriety, doubtless recognizing the
self-evident fact that the greater the
achievement the more exalted the
honor and profits to follow. One OF
these habituals," after recovering
from snake-bite under the treatment,
was such an enthusiastic admirer OF
the discovery, that the company con.
ceived the idea of sending him abroad
as an agent, where his former slavery
to the habit was known. He sailed
forth with an apparently strong reso-
luton in his heart and at least ten
dollars of the company's money in his
pocket. Many hours did not elapse
before he fell in with the cold crowd"
at Tacoma. Like the stubborn jury
man, when, after the most diligent
labor, he had failed to convince his
boon companions Of the error of their
ways he came to them, and when the
institute sent for him was as billing"
drunk as il never shot by the bi-chlo-
ride syringe and in limbo. They at
once resolved to send out no more
