THE LODGES. A Masonic Reunion—Chicago Masonry—The Grand Council. The Triple Link—Knightly Pythians, THE FREE MASONS. MASONIC REUNION, There is a general desire among the Masons of the world far a more closer union and fellow- ship .than is now enjoyed by the brotherhood. In the clash of conflicting systems and incongruous work, with di ing methods of rec- ognition and widely diverged methods of work, the order as a universal brotherhood its effi- loses much of ciency. It is proposed to hold an in- ternational Masonic reunion at Rome, to include all the grand lodges in the world, and the preliminary conference is to be held at Milan during the coming Ttalian national exhibition. A large number of Masonic grand bodies have intimated their intention of participa- ting. It is to be hoped that theUni- ted States will be represented by able and wise brethren. Masonic work in this country greatly lacks uniformity in the several jurisdictions, and the experience of the American Masons will be valuable, as showing the great benefit to be derived from world-wide uniformity in Maconic work. MASONRY IN CHICAGO, It is claimed by fanatics of the Blanchard type that Chicago is a hot- bed of Masonry, and recents reports published, go far to show that the order is in a most flourishing condi- #on in the Garden City. Thirty- eight Blue lodges of Masons are work- ing actively with full rolls of memhers and plenty of work before thén. “There are twelve chapters of the Royal Arch, seven commanderies of the Knights Templar, and six bodies of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. R, AND 8. M, The Grand Council of Wisconsin, Royal and Select Masters, has dis- solved its connection with the Grand Chapter of that state, and ratified the organization of the General Grand Council of the United States. The ‘Grand Councils of Maine, Georgia and Kansas have also unanimously ratified the General Grand Council oxganiza- tion. California has also jyst ratified the General Grand CoufitR. Thus, from Maine to California, the Atlan- tic and Paaific clasp hands in the per- petuation of Cryptic Masonry in ifs integrity and beauty. OMAHA'S SOCTETIES. Omaha is n¢ doubt one of the best -epresented cities in this country in the matter of secret orgamizations. All of the principal secret societies have one or mose lodges in good work- ing order here, and still all move har- moniously side by side, neither one Jostling the other, all finding abun- dance of good material and plenty to do in the great and glorious work of -extamdi !iznr:%an sud suf- fering wherever fount if young anen would spend time too often wasted in folly or dissipation within the lodge rooms of these noble frater- nities, taking part in the good work and learning the morality there incul- cated fewer parents would mourn for dissipated or lost sons. GOAT HAIRS, The grand chapter of Royal Arch Masons, according to the last report, contains twenty-one subordinate bod- ies in the state, a gain of two over the previous year. The total membership is 841. Omaha chapter, No. 1, the largest in the state has 173 members, The good harvests and prosperous #imes foretell a prosperous winter's work in the order throughout the state. Brother Griggs, lately consul at “Chemnitz, Germany, reports that the signature of Grand Secretary Bowen is known throughout Masonic Europe as the guarantee of excellent Masonic iterary work, and that no reports are better esteemed than those of the grand lodge of Nebraska. The Rev. Moses Howe, who was not only one of the oldest living cler- gymen, butone cx the oldest Masons, died at Cambridge Massachusetts, Sat- urday. The position of the Reformed (Dutch) church as to secret socioties is defimtely stated in resolutions passed at the recent meeting of the gencral synod. Tt is a very simple and unassailable one. The church will in no wise assume responsibility for Free Masonry, nor encourage se- «cret societies. Neither will it be drawn into a sweeping condemnation wf the thing per se, nor into declaring membershiv of such organizations to be necessarily incompatible with a Christian profession, any more than membersLip in a stock exchange. The Triple Link: Installations have been the order of the week throughout the state. In Omaha the installations will not be completed until next week when we shall publish a complete list of the officers. The grand lodge of Illinois has 41 subordinate lodges and 7 Rebeccah lodges. The order is taking firm hold in Holland. 0dd Fellowship is making excellent progress in Maine, The rituals in the French lan guage are now being completed. White's ‘‘New Digest of Laws” is said to be now in the hands of the printer. Oddfellowship 1s realizing the ben- eficial effects of this nn'ivxfi of 1881, which will be a marked year in the order’s history. Prosperity scems to be the password «of the year in every lodge and en- campment in each jurisdiction. It is gratifying to note such a result. Lodges should require their Noble |an l has passed away. Jool Taylor, for- merly Grand Secretary of New Hampshire, died recentiy at Manches- ter. He was one of the early letter- carriers of that city, which occupa- tion he followed all of his life, The New England states are trou- bled with tramps representing them- selves to be ““brethren in distress,” The new degree charts have been delivered at Baltimore, Md., and can be ordered through the various grand secretaries, KNIGHTLY PYTHIANS. NEBDRASKA LODGE NoO 1. At a regular meeting of Nebraska lodge No. 1, K. of P., held on Wed- nesday evening last, M. G. McCoon and W, W. Brigham were elected the representatives to the grand lodge, K. of P., which will meet in Lincoln in the month of October next. E. G. Riley and J. F. Fairlie were elected alternates, So Nebraska No. 1 will be well represented in the next grand lodge session. This lodge is doing a good work quietly and is constantly sclecting from the many applicants for admission to its mysteries only the best and truest men, THE ENDOWMENT RANK IN I0WA, A committee has been appointed to act in regard to the orgunization of a state endowment rank of the Knights of Pythias, composed as follows: L. S. Hurd, Dubuque: John Cameron, William Raustian, Davenport; W, S. Rice, Fairfield; J. M. Ferris, Do- Witt, and D. A. Magee, Sioux City. San Francisco has organized a ne lodge of young men, composed of 150 members. Chicago has fourteen lodges of Knights of Pythias, five uniform rank divisions and five endowment sections. i The President’s Domestic Relations Chicago Tribune. In all the anxiety and excitement which have prevailed in Washington since last Saturday, in the midst of all the grief that naturally grows ont, of such calamity, undisturbed by his physical sufferings, the uncertainties of hiu condition, and his close contact with deaths there is one phase of the president’s character which stands out conspicuously and that is his deep and strong home attachment. It did not need the assassin’s bullet to bring out this noble attribute of his nature in such strong relief. He has mani- fested it from the firat, #ad it has not been a weak or morbid display of sen- timent, but an outgrowth of the kigh- est type of manly character. From the day that President Gar- field was nominated to the day he en- countered the wretch Guiteau this home love has shone conspicupusly. There is no question that he had a Jaudable ambition to be president, but that ambition was no stronger than the regret which he, and especially his_wife, fdlo ot the breaking up of their quiet, happy, and unostentatious homne life at Mentor. In that home they had been the best of lovers, friends, and comrades. By natureand by culture ske was richly endowed, and she was his peer in scholarship, 80 that in his inteHeatual progress she had kept with him side by side. The regret at breaking up the old home ‘e voiced in his parting speech to his friends and neighbors with a pathos that reminds one of Mr. Lineoln’s words upon a similar occasion, though neither of them probably dreamed? that th:{ would encounter assassina- tion. When the ceremony of inaugu- ration was completed, the first act of Mr. Garfield was to salute his aged mother in the presence of the assembled multitude, —an act of chivalrous courtesy and filial devo- tion worthy of the knights of old. He entered upon the duties of his oftice. He was at once the victim of{ such a horde of officeseekers as has rarely been seen in Washington. His admiunistration was plunged into con- fusion by the cabals of the spoils-sys- tem faction which sought to usurp his executive privilege of appointment, and threatened to destroy the party if it was not allowed to dominate it. In the midst of these new anxicties and presponsibilities, pestered and annoyed by the hordes without and flxrux(unell)y his enemies within the camp, Mrs Garfield was prostrated with a fever and brought to the door of death, In his emergency the old home love was the strongest, and po- litical oxigences had to wait as of secondary importance, while he main- tained his vigil by her bedside night after night and day after day, nursing her, and ministering to hei comfort .and inspiring her with his own sanguine hope and courage, until the crisis had passed and she was en- abled to go away for recreation and rest. At last the political pressure upon him had so far relaxed that he felt warranted in joining his wife and enjoying the few days of rest which he 80 much needed. With the hor- rible deed which interrupted that 'Luurnuy to the public is familar. Struck down by a spoils-hunting assassin’s bullet, his first thought was of his wife, and his only concern was for the effect it might have upon her, and so, with the tenderest solitude,he ordered a dispatch sent to her of an encouraging nature and conveying his love. His next thought was for his aged mother at the old home, and he directed that no discouraging messages should be sent to her. 1In this fearful emergency, Mrs, Garfield, though still weak from her illness, summoned all her energy and fortitude and resolute- ly nccu{ucd the situation, He had stood by her as a good and faithful comrade in the Valley of the Shadow of Death, and she now enter- ed its gloom with invincible courage, with calm serenity,with love controll- ed by judgment, and with anxiety kept out of sight. Noone will know, no one should know, what took place in that iterview when they stood to- gether again in the presence of death, but one canimagine that they met with equal courage, with equal hope, with equal resignation to the decree of Providence whatever 1t might be. Her friends, the cabinet officers, the doc- tors, have all bere testimony to the splendid qualities of this little woman, her heroic fortitude, her cheerful, hufimlul demeanor in the sick room out of it, her noble-hearedness, Grands to visit the widows of the|her skillful assistance of the physi- lodge once & month and repert any | cians in those duties which no one wa 0] 3 aem"’um of the g:udld Lodge ut.m:d ent parts for the purpose of exempli- |ings from the sick chamber - the G. L. de-|ing could be more touching than the fying and conferring could do so wellas ghe, and the ¢quanimity and petienee with which she has horne both good and bad tid- Noth- ree, similar to the plan u‘l‘opmd by | chivalroussdevotion of she president to ‘alitornia in 1878. his wife and her forgetfulness of rulf{ had meeting her on every oceasion with a smile and having some cheery word for her in the midst of all his suffer. ings, lest his condition should vros trate her anew and bring on a relapse; the other, overcoming her physical weakness by her largeness of spirit and steeling herself by a mighty effort so that no look or word from her should have a discouraging offoct u)- on her suffering comrade. President Garfield has always en- deared himself to his fellows by his comradeship and by his genial, whole souled nature, and strong men have wept at the sight of him upon his bed of suffering, but his chivalrous devo- tion to his wife, his mother, and his children, his constant thoughttulness for them, and his manly love, which with him is no weak sentiment, but a quality to be proud of, will endear him more than ever to ,every Ametican honie which is held together by love. These are qualities which every man and woman can appreciate, and it is largely owing to their manifestation that every man of manly spirit and every woman who holds love dear feels as if a personal friend had been sticken down, and is praying tor his reccvery to health. It is not alone the political consequences which in- apire the l\n]u- he may recover, but the lotty manliness of the man, his great heart and kindly spirit, his love for his wife, his mother, and his children. 1t is the combination of these qualities which, should he recover, will lift the clouds of gloom amid such a thanksgiving to Heaven as this country has never known before. The home and its in- fluences are the ultimate safeguards of our liberty, and the first lady and gentloeman of the republic, terms once conventional, now earned by right, have carried these home mfluences with them where their light burns all the more brightly by reason of its ex- alted position. ~ The prayers from thousands of other homes all oter this buoad land will go up unceasingly that it may not be extinguished. He Conldn’t Get Away. “No, I am nod one -of the veterans of the war,” he slowly re- plied to the inquiry, ‘“‘but it is not my fafit. I wanted to be there, but something always held me back.” “‘That was too bad.” “‘Yes, it was. When the war broke out T offered to go, but I was in jail on a six months' sentefMte and they wouldn't take me. I was innocent, ot course, but as I was in jail #ie re- cruiting officer had to refuse me. Lands! but how I did ache to gb down at the front and wade in gore!” “And when you got out of jail?’ “Yes, T got out, but just then my mother died. I was en my way to enlist when she died, #nd, of course, that dltered my plans. No oneknows how badly T wanted to be down there and wade around jn blood and glory.” “Well, you didn’t have to mourn all through the war did you?” “Oh, no. Ble# your soul, but I only mourned for thirty days, and then I stasted out to eplist in the l&' tillerv. I was just about to writd! down my name when a constablo arrested me for breach of promise and it was four months before I got through with the suit. Ah! sir, but 1f you only knew how I suffered at heing hald back whon others were winning glory on the field of carnage you would pity me!” ‘‘But the suit was finally decided?” ‘“Yes, finally, and within an hour after the jury brought in a verdict I started for Toledo to enlist in the cav- old alry.” ‘“‘And you enlisted?” ““Almost. I was being examined by the doctor when I got a dispatch that the old man had tumbled into the well, and of course I had to go home. I hadn’t got the undertaker paid hefore lightning struck the barn. Then some one set fire to the cheese factory, ond soon after that I had three ribs broken and was laid up for a year, When I finally did get around to enlist the docior rejected me because I was coior-blina, near- sighted, lame and deaf. I toll you sir, when I think cf the glory lost and the gore I didn’t shed, it breaks me right down and T don't even care for soda water. Hear the band! Hang my hat, but why wasn't I born with legs long enough %o kick myself over into Canada?” - Sitting Bull's Appearance A correspondent of the New York Herald thus describes Sitting Bull as he is now: An ordinary specimen of his race —a swarthy buck a littleabove the medium height, slightly stooped (but not stupid), and sadly lacking a commanding or impressive presence, His appearance disappoints one, He neither looks the typical brave of whom Fenimore Cooper wrote, nor has he the cut-throat demeanor as- cribed to him by the newspapers. The Indian dash and vim are wanting, al- though these are the attributes of half a dozen of his councillors, compared with whom the wily savage does not appear to advantage. He has some- thing of - a stolid look, and yet his couvntenance is a frank and peaceful one. Whatever he suffers in looks, however,he more than connterbalances by his other qualities—his tact, his what we Yankees would call "cuteness. These make him the master mind of the camp, whose sovereignty none dare din]pute. True it is that many of his followers have disagreed with him, but their difficulities did not disturh the serenity of the camp; he curbed the disturbing spirit or the discontented fled for other fields instanter. His following had decreased gradually and steadily, until now but a handfull of warriors and a horde of squaws, pa- pooses, and old men remain. But of these he is king—his word is law, — A Bear With a Strong Head. Hot Springs Evening Star; An enterprising and good-natured visitor at Castle Park, a few days ago, in generosity of heart presented the bear with a bottle of beer, Bruin ascended his throne, and, after un- corking the bottle, drank it, and ap- peared much refreshed and well sati- fied. This amused thé visitor to such an extent that he took a glass himself and gave the bear another bottle,. The performance lasted about two hours, the gencrous visitor drinking his glass each time that bearship put a = tle of the ‘‘hop juice” under his belt. At the expiration of the twop hours it was found that bruin had indulged in nineteen bottles of beer, and hisfriend on" the gutside of Another old and honored member |in her ministrations to him; the one | nineteen glasses of the foamy stuff, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE:—MOND.\Y. JULY 11, The only difference to be discoverod between the two was that bruin was quiet and docile, and walked to the ond of his chain with his usual digni- fied tread, while the man imagined that he was the czar of all the Russians, | and was momentarily expecting to | | hear an explosive missile burst about | him. He was finally conveyed home “‘upon a shutter,” while the bear quict ly walked his beat and looked ansious ly for the appearance of another fun loving visitor who would “sct "em up, " | gt Presorving Moeat New York Times. There is nogood reason why farmers | and their families should eat so much salt pork, leaving all the fresh meat to the inhabitants of cities and vil- | lages, when the following method will p meat fresh for weeks even in the warmest weather. 1 have tried it for sevaral years, As soon as the animal heat is out of the meat, slice it up for cooking. Pro pare a large jar by scalding it well with hot water and salt. Mix salt and pulverized saltpetre. Cover the bottom of the jar with a sprinklo of salt and pepper. Put down a layer of meat, sprinkle with salt and pepper the samo as if it was just going to the table, and continue in this manner until the jar is full. Fold a cloth or towel, and wet it in strong salt and water in which a little of the saltpetro is dissolved Press the cloth closely over the meat and set 1n a cool place. Be sure and press the cloth in tightly as oach layer is removed, and your meat will keep for months, 1t is a good plan to let the meat re main over night, after it is sliced, be- fore packing. Then drain off the blood that cozes from it. It will be necessary to change the cloth occasion- ally, or take it off and wash it first in cold water, then scald in salt and wa- ter as at first. In this way farmers can have fresh meat all the year round.
