LODGES ANDINIONs.

As the time approaches for the con-
venng Of the Grand Council of the Royal
Arcanum a stir is noticeable among the
councils of this order. each one being
anxious 10 make a good showing as le-
CARDS membership, and the SmoothnosS
with which the work of the order j.
conducted. At one lodge I'm particular
the officers have learned the initiluon
rites by heart, and are able TO go through
with them without the aid of books
The ceremony, as thus conducted Is
beautiful one. The drummers OF the
different councils are now on the aleI|
and doubtless many a man who mas peet
Wavering will ind himself a full-iledSeu
member of some council ere many days
have passed. The Norfolk councils nave
adopted a good way 10 show 10 the
public their advantages. on January oV.h
last Il large public meeting OF the oruer
was held in that city, with the result
of many accessions to the COUNCIL. ne
