and well spent lie in the service Of the
Great Creator "rest from their labors."
Resolved, That we greatly deplore the death
of brother James s. Milling. who has endeared
himself to our hearts by his noble and manly
course; his devotion to his Lodge and his obi
cations; his family and his country. A broth.
er whose heart was full of the milk of human
Kindness, one of natures noblemen, ever jeal-
Gus in his devotion to the tenents OF our be-
loved eruer.
Resolved, That we extend to the bereeved
wife and children of our deceased brother, our
heartfelt sympathy in this, the day Of their
sad affection.
Resolved, That these resolutions be engross
ed and spread on our minute book, that copy
thereof be sent to the bereaved family, and
| that they be published in the Bossier Banner

Good fridays Phenomenon.

Astronomers and those who delight
in observations of the heavenly bod
les are deeply interested this year in
a most interesting and extraordinary
phenomenon. The heavenly bodies,
which own the sun as a center and
gravitate around that great .luminary,
will, on tomorrow, Good Friday,
April 18th, be in exactly the same
position they occupied in the frma-
ment the day Christ died on the cross,
for the first time since that day, 1862
years ago.
The hour of 4:20 o'clock A. M,
Paris time, on Good Friday, CORES
ponding to the sixth hour Of reckon
ing time at Jerusalem in the days of
Chsist, astronomers say will witness
the planets and stars in the same re-
lation to the sun that they occupied
at the hour of the Crucifxion, as then
observed by the eager astrologers of
that day.
Arrangements have been made by
all the principal universities of
Europe for observations of this fact,
which gives such deep religious sig
nifcance to this year, and discussions
upon the results of these observa-
tons will doubtless engage the atten-
ton of the students of astronomy for
some time to come.
