THE LODGES. Masonic Charity — The Odd Fellows. The Rebekah Degroe --Miscel- laneons Notes. MASONIC CHARITY. The charge is brought against Amer- ican Masons by their English brethren that they are paying less attention to fraternal charity than to the founding and erecting of costly temples and the display of glittering regalia and bril- liant parades. The charge is not on whole well founded. American Ma- sonry is less ostentatcous perhaps than that in England, but not less effcot- Its charities are dispensed in its ministrations to the ive. silence and sick and destitute unrecorded and un- published. Many of our oldest lodges possess special charity funds which are used for the purpose of relieving want among their brethren. While this is so, Masonic congratulations will be ex- tended to our English brethren over the magnificent showing of their be- volent funds at the end of the last year. The Grand Lodge revorted their fund at $225,000, The income of three Masonic Charitable Institutions of England, for the year, is given as follows: Royal Masonic Benevolent Tnstitution, £14,880 2s. 6d.; Royal Masonic _Institution for Girls, £13,- 866 1s. 8d.; Royal Masonic Institu- tion for Boys, £12 256. The Benevo- lent Institution has some 400 annui- tants on its books. The other two clothes, maintains and educates 220 boys and 200 girls, GOAT HAIRS, All quiet in Omaha Masonic circles, The Grand Commander of K. T., of Tllinois, has forbidden the conferring of the commandery degrees for less than §40, The Grand Lodge of Scotland op- poses the practice of holding lotteries for fairs to raise funds. The Grand Lodge of Indiana is working hard to lift its debt; 814,333 were paid last year, leaving an indebt- edness of 880,000, of which, it is|p, thought, $26,000 will be paid this year, THE ODD FELLOWS, Tue Bee had hoped to publish the names of the officers of the various Omaha lodges and encampments but the promised lists haye failed to reach us from the secretary. THE REDEKAH DEGREE, The question ftrequently arises, ‘“Who are entitled to the Degree of Rebekah?” John H. White, P, G. M., of New York, the compiler of the Digost, answers said 1‘1uo|tion a8 follows: ‘Al Dogree of Truth mem- bers, their wives; unmarried daugh- ters, eighteen years of age and over; unmarried sisters, widowed sisters, divorced sisters and legally adopted daughters, ages as above; aiso win{ow- of Degree of Truth, of. Scarlet Degree members; widows of members of any degree, at option of Lodge; unmarried daughters of deceased members of Degree of Truth, of Scarlet Degree members, The Degree can be con- ferred by any subordinate Lodge of the Order, but raguhr Deogree Lodges <an only be visited by thoso who are members of a Degreo Lodge. This last clause has militated much against the prosperity of the Degree, as there are but fow localities where Degree Lodges can be successfully maintained and there are but little incentive to work the Degree in the country, 1f when those in_the interior visit the cities they are debarred from visiting the regular Lodge, LINKS. The many new orders that have sprung up within the past few years do not retard the constant onward progress of American Odd Fellowship. On the contrary, reports from all . paxts of the national jurisdiction show that the status of the order is eacel- lent, and it was never so wealthy as at the present time. Some of the older members do not take much interest in the so-called ‘‘new work,” but they do not relinquish their interest in" tho order or its mission, In the New England States, On- tario, and several of tho western states, the number of admissions have been unusually large. More or less work is being continually done in the California Lodges. A. B. Grosh, ot Washington City, notwithstanding his seventy-eight ears has just completed a revision of Kil well-kuown ‘“Manual,” making it conform to the new work. President Garfield is and has been for many years an active ‘and zealous 0dd Fellow. Some attention on the part of the fraternity expressive of gratitude for his recovery 18 said to be on foot, A NEW MYSTIC ORDER, The St. Louis Rapublican announces that a new order, originating in St. Louis, has been organized by some of the prominent citizens, merchantsand others for benevolent and beneficiary objects, It is founded upon a sign, or ancient hieroglyphic, more ancient than history itself. It hasbeen found engraved upon rocks, -mholm'u, ob- elisks and pyramids. 1t is found among the prehistoric symbols of Chi- na, Japan, Hindostan, and icular- ly in E;y pt. Pytho(::ru. Plato, L{- ourgus, their visits among the Egyptians, all saw the symbol, and brought 1t back with them on their return to Greoce. Upon this has been founded the order which wilk shortly become an organization among the mystic orders of the human race. are three de- grees in the order. The work has been tten up by a citizen of Bt Louis, oune except persons of the highest moral character will be admitted to the order. When an applicant is pro- posed for membership his name is submitted to a ttee of three, who give his character and standing in the comunity a rigid and thorough examination, and w! the name is presented to the “Camp,” even though a thousand men are present, one black ball will reject. A hall has been and eleven members have passed through the first originator of the new order has :‘unt five years in the preparation and ucidation of the work. ~He has cor- xesponded with some twenty scholars learned in the languages in order to get a true explanation and verification of the symbols and they all agree in Jesuit travellers in China and Oriental lands and the learned Bible commen- meaning of the symbol, which fur- nishes the ground work of the new secret order. MISORLLANEOUS, The G. A. R. paid out 868,507.38 for relief during 1860. The Knights and Ladies of Honor report 18,000 members in their organ- ization, A member of a fraternal society re- cently ““worked his way” through his front door with a latch-key, but when he arrived at his bed-room door gave sevoral raps in a peculiar manner, A white-robed figure presenting itself, he gave a password. *‘Yes,” said his wife, (for it was that individual), “you have given the alarm and the pass- word, and now I'll give you the alarin and shake.” And she grippled him by the hair and shook him until he realized that he was not the Supreme Oriental Duke of the Temple, \\!IL a mere ordinary mortal subordinate, ARIZONA WONDERS, Grandeur of Yosemite Hxcelled by Cataract Canyon, The Village of the Suvi Indian Tribos Walled in by Preof- ploss Over 3000 Feot High Flagslafl, A. T., Cor, San Prancisco Examiner. Last evening we reached this heroic spot, where the first American flag that floated over the Pacific coast soil was unfurled from the top of the tall limbless pine tree that has stood the storms of thirty-five yoars to attest the patriotio pride of John O. Fre- mont, who lived to realize the hope of that hour, Gen. Fremont, in his transcontinental trip of 1845-6, was 80 much elated on finding a ‘“‘volun- teer n&xrim{" (an_Arizona term for a natural spring, in contradistinction to underground streams tapped by digging) in the midst of a forest, that e pronounced the place a fit spot for unfurling the stars and stripes, and naming it Uncle Sam’s country, which, indeed, proved prophetic. We are at the base of Fremont Peak from the summit of which the gonorn‘ also floated the national banner, and from that day to this, the peik, the most prominent of the San Francisco mountains, has borne his name, while the beautiful little green valley below was called Fagstaff. But I will fi: back on my tour ten ys, and give some details of what I saw and heard while in CATARACT CANYON, This canyon, evidently the work of an unrthquniw, courses its winding way northward, opening into the great canyon of the Big Colorado river. While it traces nearly 100 miles, the wenderful portion, varying in depth from 2,600 to 3,600 feet, hedged by precipitous walls, only ex- tullgl about twenty miles, portions of of which is 8o completely protected that frosts are neverknown, yetthe sun does not shine more than an average of seven hours a day—the beautiful twilight lasting two hours. Addition- al interest is aroused when wa con- sider that hundreds of acres of this deep-bedded plain, for such it is, bear marks of continual cultivation for ages, ana that it is now the home of over 400 Indians, known as tho Mal- lipt-Supi tribe: Mallipi (poor ground) and Supi (your country) would indi- cate that these Indians possessed a poor country; but from observation I must say that they are the most inde- penden’, tribe T have any knowledge of, and while their territory is limited in agricultural capacity, I have never soen a more productive spot, nor farm- ing lands better cared for. They are blessed with an abundance of water, and their gardens are as well pulver- ized as the most skilful farmer's onion bed. Tine peaches, berries, water- melons and pumpkins are produced in great abundance, and are most deli- cious in flavor, The laxgest sunflowers Thave ever seen are grown by them, the floral base of the full-growth measuring more than twelve inches across, with most luxuriantly develop- ed seed, which is utilized in" the fol- lowing compound: One part pulver- ized sunflower seed, one part pumpkin soed, and one part sujurra (a species of cactus that grows in the form of a cabbage-head, which they roast). This they pestle well and pound together, then spread upon a large flat stone and dry in the sun. This preparation is often used as a substitute for bread. I can attest to its palatable quality, as 1 ate of it as well as of many other of their curious comvounds. THE SUPI INDIANK are quite hospitable and friendly to the stranger who attends striotly to his own business, They informed The Examiner representative that his party coming to their villages was a marked event, as the appearance of a corroborating the testimony of famous tator, Dr. Adam Clark, respecting the stalactite-covered buds and trees were the immediate offspring of this use of the water, which carried a strong per- centage of bicarbonate of lime, but the more_plansible theory would seem to be that the stalactite formation so comely and beautifully dispersed v.pon the ground, tree, sprig and bud alike in the bicarbonate of lime, dislodged in the spray, and gathering like a mist This upon every possible form. view is further sustained by the numerous stalactite forms clinging here and thers, even to the higher walls of the canyon; and to the variableness of the refloction, from these wonder inspiring mirrors, the surrounding owe much of their engaging beauty. The waters of the Cataract canyon gather below the village and bound over three succes- sive falls of from 100 to 300 fect per- endicular in less than one mile Q'mwwl from below the falls, the rain- as it mounts the opening 3,6000 feet | above, while the broad sheet of water | is lost in spray, buton reaching the bottom quietly gathered in the MILLIONS O SPARKLING GLOB And glides as placidly down the ¢ bedded channel from turn to turn as if but the offspring of an April shower The picturesque beauty of this craggy- bound rock-walled canyon is intensi- fied by the varied salactites hanging here and there, throwing back spec- trum beauties, challenging the wild- est imagination in form and splendor of tint. And the romance is redoubled when we consider that for gen- eration after generation, yes, century after century, these self-doomed exilcs have feasted upon the delighttul pro- ducts of this heaven of rest,and drank in the grandeur of the natural scenery while the bounding, surging waters have hurled headlong from the pre- cipice into a vanishing cataract. The latest mining excitement here was prompted from a trace of sulphu- rots of silver below the villages, and in dolomite, which can be traced 1,- 000 feet in the walls perpendicular, The Mnext strata above is Potsdam sandstone, 400 feet, also perpendicu- lar. Above this 18 red sandstono, 1,- 000 feet perpendicular, carrying peroxide of ironand gypsum, gi great beauty. The next cover strata is 600 feet of gray sandstone, and cuts perpendicular. ~ Covering all is carboniferous, lime carrying walls, 500 feet, bring us to the surface again, When 1t is considered that we have passed along the winding {course of these walls of solid stone, with sel- dom more than a path margin of three feet which has beed cut into the PERPENDICULAR FACE OF THE ROCK Your appreciation for the seclusion of these solf-doomed hermits will be greatly augmented, particularly so when I assure you that there is no other means of ingress and ogress. In the light of the day once again, we speed our way in the direction of the San Francisco mountains, 130 miles to the southeast. Bearing to the east, wo traverse a grassy plain slightly un- dulating, void of water. however, and we are obliged to make a dry camp the first night. Three days’ march, with little to exciteinterest except our eager efforts to secure water toward the close of each day, and we are at the foot of Fremont's peak. Sur- rounded by heavy forests and encour- aged by frequent sights of antelope, which keep well at a distance, how- ever, we strike camp near the San Francisco ranch, owned by C. T. Rodgers, who, with the quickness of thought, brought down a beautiful antelope fawn with his Winchester rifle and invited us infvo sup and lodge with him. On the following day I surveyed the surroundings and found abeautiful though not extensive lake. In the neivhborhood large herds of cattle were grazing, the grass being especially luxuriant. At this point our party choose to divide, some going around the mountain, while others went over, I choose to go with the latter, and we began the ascent, arriving at the summit, where, about noon Ienjoyed a magnificent view. To the northwest was & panorama of the country we had been traversing during the lastthree days, skirted here and there with cedar and juniper over a grassy plain scarcely undulating more than sufficient for drainage. We were 13,000 feet abovethe level of the sea, and 6,000 feet above the most elevated of the plateaus below, giving aview rare and comprehensive. To my left was Floyd mountain, and on the right O'Leary’s peak, while cours- ing far beyond was the break of the Colorado canyon ranging eastand west as far as the eye could command, In the far-off northwest loomed up the Siorra Nevada, and northeast the Wasatch range, with spurs to the south. To the west, by the Mineral {mrk region, looming up in strong re- iof from the undulating hills and valleys between, begins the BAN FRANCISCO FOREST Fifty miles west Which is an unbroken pinery, extend- ing 300 miles southwest by an average of fifty miles wide, and may be said to cover the Mogollon mountains, which, from this view, I pronounce only to be an elevated piuin, undulat- ing to the southwest and northeast, stranger among them was of rare oc- currence, They told of a visitin 1852, by the famous explorer, Capt. Clarke, and two or three others since that time, outside of which they have had very little to do with the whites. They are perfectly independent, as it would be impossible to force an en- trance to their stronghold or reut them except by a system of bombard- ment, which, in any event, would be excoedingly cruel, as they are as harn- less as doves and as docile as lambs, ‘They are medium in stature, comely in form and features, modest in their habits, and dress with more neatness than the other Indians of Arizona. Some few of their number have learn- ed a smattering of Spanish, and at in- tervals thoy send a delegation to Prescott for supplies. Their hunting round lies southeast, and abounds in oer, antelope, wild turkeys and bear. They live in huts built by combining mud with sticks, willow or cottonwood, and oultivate every kind of cereal. At the lower end of their gardens I notic- ed that vegetable beds and fruit trees are eoated with a beautiful stalactite formation, making in appearance petri- fied gardens, in hue as varied, from the refiection of the rays of the sun, as a ranbow. They utilize the water that rises in_the canyon, some wmiles above their habitations, by uniting it in conduits and irrigating their lands; hence, we at first supposed that the the forestry broken occasionally by a prairie vmuy. In the far south I clearly discern the Bradshaw range with its spurs and on‘{gy peaks, Pres- oott is nestled near the top with her elegant buildings in contrast with the evergreen pine.
