Grand Lodge Session.
Iguanas MEETING orrs‘sr Games, 1. o. o. r.
The annual session of the Grand Lodge, I.
O. O. F., of ti is State was held in New Ha—
ven last Wednesday. About 200 delegates,
representing the 53 lodges in the State, were
present. Grand Master George N. Moses
presided. '
The, report of the Grand Master recom—
mended that Grand Secretary Botsford be'
employed to resuscitate old lodges, and that
the election of officers in subordinate lodges
be made annually instead of semi—annually.
The Grand Master also recommended a more
equal adjustment of dues and benefits, that
the lodges may so arrange the ratio of
the one to the other that they may be
enabled to meet and fulfill all their en~
gagements to their members and place them-
selves upon solid ground financially.
The report of Grand Secretary Betsford
gave statistics as follows:
The present number of subordinate lodges
in this jurisdiction is 53. The total receipts
of subordinates for 1879 amounted to $67, -
743.26, from which has been paid out, for
relief. $27,341.01; for ordinary expenses,
$22,666.71 ; and for extraordinary expenses,
$5,788'02, a total of $55,795.74, leaving re—
ceipts over expenditures of $11,947.52. The
extraordinary expenses are larger than usual,
owing largely to the fitting up of two new
halls, one. for Stuben Lodge. No: 83, in
Bridgeport, and the other in Birmingham,
for Ousatonic Lodge, No. 6.
The membership is as follows:

The death rate was 1 in 117, and the num-
ber of weeks sickness in 1879 .for which
benefits have been pa'id, Wag 5,374, an aver-
age of 78100 per cent.,‘or about 5;,- days for
each member. - - . - .
Since 1873, when the average was .5612 per
cent, the increase has been steady until it
has reached nearly one per cent. or one week
for each member. Nearly'the whole of this
alarming increase is confined to the ten older
lodges and among members over fifty years
of age It has demonstrated the fact that lodges
as they grow older cannot pay full benefits
for continuous sickness year after year and
remain solvent; This is a serious question
and it seems to me one which this Grand
Lodge should consider and endeavor so far
as posEible by its advice and counsel to direct
younger lodges toward a sound financial
basisgwith reference to ‘dues and benefits.

The survey of the Parallel Railroad has
been completed from Allingtown to the state
line by N. S. Schubarth & 00., typographi-.
cal engineers, etc., of Providence, R. I.
From the state line into New York city the
layout will be by other parties, and con—
templates the use of the elevated road. The
great fight will now be for permission to
bridge the Housatonic river. At that place
will be the only drawbridge of the line.
Vigorous fights have already been made
against the proposition. The supervising
engineers, Schubarth d: 00., will at once he—
gin work on the maps at Providence. The
surveying has been progressing since Feb—
ruary 1. The line is as straight as an air
line can be, avoiding unusually big rock cuts,
and runs on average about a mile and a half
distant from the Consolidated road. At
Allingtown, where the line starts from the
Derby road it strikes a huge out, part of the
toughness which tried the patience and
purses of several contractors on the Little
Derby. There are several rock cuts on the
proposed lineLonc of them 200 feet in length
perhaps, and 75 or so deep. It is at Stam~
ford, but a stretch of 600 bet long and 20
is wide has been evaded at the same point.
The rock in the western part of the state is
easily blasted. At Greenwich the survey
strikes a continuation of the “Old Put" rock.
At Noroton and Darien good sized hills are
encountered. and there is some waste'ma—
terial. Waste, in mechanics, means earth or
rock that has to be removed, for use, more
than a thousand yards. There is little
trouble about the right of way. The men
appointed to attend to this part of the busi—
ness performed it excellently. They kept at
times some distance ahead of the surveyors.
The line as surveyed now does not differ
much from that surveyed years ago. Close
estimates will be soon asked from contracl
tors. r—Brz‘dgeport News.

SCIENTIFIS MISUELLANY.
Authorities disagree somewhat as to the
highest recorded vcloctity of the wind. As
the velocity of a wind blowing in a' straight
line it is claimed that 110 miles an hour has
been recorded; while a cyclone, or wind
with a rotary motion, attains a much greater
velocity—probably 180 miles an hour having
been observed. Measurements of such ex-
traordinary galcs are obtained with difficulty,
and can hardly be considered accurate.
. A-Philadelphia child was born with a fair
complexion, dark eyes and- brown hair. Soon
after birth the skin of his entire body began .
to grow dark, the color deepening from yel—
low to saffron, and in about a year to the
rich black of a full-blooded negro. The
hair became stiff and jet black, and even the
eyes grew darker. Physical weakness and
convulsions attended this change, until, the
child’s life being threatened, competent riled~
ical attendance was obtained. Since then
sixteen months have elapsed, during which
time the child’s skin has been gradually be—
coming lighter, being now of a light chest~
nut color. The peculiar disease is ,a very
rare one, and is known as luclauosis, or pig-
mentation. The case has been an interesting
cue for medical men.
Experiment shows that tarring ropes slight-
ly diminishes their strength against a pulling

average of tenacity much loirger than uutar‘l

causes of deterioration.

Forty-three small planets, or one-fifth of

For this service to astronomy he has been

It is believed that the darkness of the deep
sea may be mitigated to some extent by the
phosphorescence of certain animals. Prof.
Mosely thinks it probable that such oFthe
denizens of the-ocean’s depths as have eyes
congregate around these light-giving forms,
or grope their way in the gloom from one
bunch to another as they lie scattered over
the deep sea-bottom-just as a traveler may
half-feel, half-sec his way from lamp-post to
lamp-post in a London fog at night.
A late cattle plague in certain Russian
provinces resulted fatally to seventy—five or
eighty per cent. of all the animalsnffected
by it. Seeing no escape for his cattle, one
individual resorted to the experiment of in-
noculating his healthy beasts with the virus
taken from the diseased ones. 0n the tenth
day after the Operation all of the cattle ex—
perimented upon were taken ill, and it is re-
ported that but eighteen per cent. died, leav-
ing eighty two per cent. secure from the epi-
demic. So satisfactory is this result that the
experiment is to be repeated on a large scale.
A mathematical prodigy has lately been
exhibited before the French Anthropological
Society. He is an? Italian boy of ten or
eleven years, with an intelligent look and
large head,but not remarkable in appearance.
Among various calculations he was asked to
multiply 3,000,240 by 240,073. The opera—
tion took‘him two minutes, when he gave the
exact rcsult.‘ This boy can neither read nor
write. . He has just become acquainted with
figures, but declares that he can calculate
less easily than before learning them.
“A Boston physician," writes Prof. R. A.
Proctor, "from the result of his experience
states that the use of high-heeled boots
causes injury to the eyes—not only weaken.
ing to the sight, but producing a sensation of
constant pain. It is not altogether so surpri-
sing as might be supposed that the eyes
should sympathize, as it were, with the feet;
for it is well-known to physicians that the
eyes suffer in a specific manner when other '
parts of the body are affected, and there are
some ailments whose presenc. the physician
has even been able to defect in this way
when the patient would have concealed the
real nature of his illness.”
Dr. C. W. Siemans has been experiment-
ing for some time with an electric furnace
for the purpose of melting in considerable
quantities highly refractory metals, such as
platihum, iifiiium and steel. The results
obtained are very satisfactory. So intense
was the belt accumulated by the electric cur-
rent in Q of these furnaces lately exhibited
in LondOn, that, in about twenty minutes
two pounds of broken files were completely
melted. It is' stated that the arrangement
may be applied on a large scale.
Signor Gaglardi, recently commissioned by
the Japanese Government to explore Ibaraki
mountain range, reports the discovery of
numerous very rich marble veins of various
colors. 'One mountain seemed a mass of
white statuary marble; while in another
locality he found black marble equal to the
finest in Europe. He predicts that, with
careful quarrying and good facilities for
transportation, Japan will become the great
marble producing country of the world. .
From repeated observations upon human
skulls, Dr. Lebon, of Paris, infers that intel-
ligence is usually in direct proportion to the
size of the cranium.
The Fifth Regiment Bounty.
Assistant Adjutant General Simeon J. Fox
writes concerning the bounty due the mem-
bers of the Fifth regiment as follows : “Un-
der the act of April 22.], 1872, it was'sup—
posed that all original members of the Fifth
regiment would be entitled to one hundred
dollars bounty, whether they served two
years or not, but by 1'. recent decision of the
adjutant general U. S. A., regarding the date
of enrollment, the claims under the act by
members of the Fifth regiment were rejected.
A correction. of the records of the adj utant
general U. S. A., gives the original members.
of the regiment,referrcd to, a credit of about
one month’s additional service. Under this
change 113 records, members of the Fifth reg-
iment enlisting prior to July 22d, 1861, and
discharged previous to two years service by
reason of disability, other than wounds can
now procure the bounty offered at date of
enlistment. Any member of the Fifth reg~
imcnt who enlisted prior to July 22d, 1861,
and has not received his bounty of one hun—
dred dollars, will receive proper blanks for
an application by applying at the adjutuut
general’s office.” '
Celery as atCure for Rheumatism.
New discoveries—or what claim to be
discoveries-—of the healing virtues of plants
are continually being made. One of the lat-—
est is that of celery is a sure cure for rheu-
matism; indeed, it is asserted that the dis-
case is impossible if the vegetable be cooked
and freely catcn.‘ The fact that it is always
put on the table raw prevents its thercpeutic
powers from becoming known. The cclciy
should be cut into bits. boiled in water until
soft, and the water drunk by the patient.
Put new milk, with a little flour and nutmeg
into a saucepan with,boiled celery, serve it
warm with pieces of leash-eat it with pota-
tms, and the painful ailment will soon yield.
Such is the declaration of a physician who
has again and again tried the experiment,
and with uniform success. He adds that
cold or dump ucver produces, but simply
develops, the disease. of which acid blood is
the primary and sustaining cause, and that
while the blood is alkaline there can be
neither rheumatism nor gout. English sta-
tistics show that in one year—1876—3,640
persons died of rheumatism, and every case
it is claimed, might have been cured or pre-
vented by thevadoption of the remedy men-
tioned. At least two-thirds of the cases
named heart disease are ascribed to rheuru.

“Social Swine.”
AN UNPLEASANT VIEW OF PACIFIC COAST SO"
CIETY.
We had cceasiou, not long since, to refer
to the Argonaut’s comments upon the re-
ception given by Senator Sharon to Gen.
Grant at Belmont. It will be remembered
that the creme de la creme of society, to wit,
the Army officers and ”others invited, were
accused of getting beastly drunk, and the
intimation was broadly given~that the demi—
moude was not unreprcse ted. Now comes
thesame censor morum in last week's Argo-
naut, saying: . ' 1
“Another very beastly exhibition of vul—
garity, rudeness,and drunkenness has occurr-
ed in fashionable society. The party was an
elegant one, the house is spacious and turn--
ished in a costly manner. The supper was
served at the usual hour. Everything that
wealth and generosity could command was
provided for the guests. Champagne was
unlimited. It was a spectacle for the Pin-
toniun Gods to observe the herd as it rushed.
forth to feed. The miracle of the devils en-
tering the swine, and the swine rushing down
a steep place into the sea was not a more
marvelous sight than the greedy enthusiasm
of' a poriion‘of this polite society to surround
the supper-table. ' The siege of J crusa—
lem by Titus, the siege of Londondcrry, the
siege of Paris never presented, after the
capture, such an anxious, hungry, voracious ,
mob. How it did feel! How it did strug-
gle! How it did crowd, and jam, and
plunge, and dodge! How it did load plates
and:unload them! How it did uucork bot-
tles and empty them! .How it did take wine
and victuals through ranks of well—dressed
ladies, sloppiug, spilling, and-greasing! How
it did pile dirty plates upon centre-tables
and satin chairs, and how a set of most vul—
gar young gentlemen did swell themselves
t) complete drunkenness by the unusual ,
indulgence of wine, for which they were not
compelled to pay nor get credit ! This rude
veracity of men and women at several gath—
erings is something that demands notice-
an abuse that demands correction. People
with good houses will not much longer en-
dure this monstrous vulgarity that stains its
car-pets with terrapin soup, pours ice-cream
over damask hangings, and floods furniture
with wine.
“We have some suggestions to make in the
direction of a needed reform.
party—giving ladies withhold wine. If so—
cietyhas a class of individuals that attend
social gatherings for the opportunity of get-
iug drunk, let society make an effort to get
along without them. Let cigars be withheld
till the hour of departure, and then let a
servant offer one to each departing guest. If
the banqueting hallbe not a large one, let_
the young people remain in the reception and
drawing-rooms until the elder guests are first
served; if the supper is served during the
evening, let the younger guests be not the
first to prcciptiate themselves upon the ta-
bles. No gentleman gsbould allow himself
while ladies are unprovidcd. It should be
borne in mind that to eat and drink is not
the chief end of man. It is not admissible
to take plates full of food without the sup-
per room to other parts of the house,and it is
especially vulgar to turn the drawing-room
into a restaurant. The fact is. our society
needs weeniug out, and we suggest to our
ladies to first mark for exclusion those gen-
tlemcn who get drunk‘ at social parties, and
these other persons who feed with both fore-
foot in the trough."
' If one is to be judged by the company he
keeps, Mr. Pixley appears to have a singu-
lar facility in obtaining the entree to such
delectable gatherings; there is noxseasou,
however, that he should boast of it, or com—
plain that in an assembly of swine he met no
gentlemen. There is a natural antipathy
between gentlemen and swine—of the biped
species. A gentleman does not invite to his
house a heterogeneous mass of toadies, igno-
ramuses, social parasites, and vulgar rich
folks, so that he may have the exquisite
pleasure of'reading in the papers next, day
of Mr. ‘Blankfodl’s reception, to 500 or 1,500
people. A snob is known by the quantity of
things; a gentleman by the quality. It does
not: follow that the possession of a spacious
house or of a large bank account entitles its
possessor to outrank those whose education
merit, and morality render them as much his
superiors as are the polished diamonds to
ordinary charcoal. But what are we to think
of a person who attends social gatherings——
even of 'the kind deseribed4-and then writes
such paragraphs as we have quoted? To
say the least, it is a disgusting breach of hos-
pitality, deserving of unmeasured condemna-
tion.
Opium.
The history of the poppy plant and of the
drug produced from it is not very particular-
ly known; but it is generally understood ,.
that the plant is not a native of tropical
countries, though it has been successfully
reared in some of them. The fact is that it
is now cultivated in all climates. The oldest
notices of opium are to be found in the
medicalworks of the Greeks. Its use was
also known to the ancient Egyptians. It
appears, says Shoshee Chunder Dutt, that
the opinions adverse to the use of opium are
exceedingly well grounded. The victim of
opium is its slave. The immediate visible
effects of it on the system when taken are
that it increases the fullness, and force of the
pulse, augments the heat of the body, and
invigorates both the corporal and mental
functions for the time, exhilaration is al
ways followed by lassitude and sleep. Large
doses call up frightful dreams and fears, and
result eventually in emaciatiou, loss of ap—
petite, sickness and drowsiness; while con-
tinued use, which introduces the consumer
into a world of dreams, and lulls pain, mis-
ery, and even utter desolation for the time,
also inevitably leads him to awful conse—
quences—to convulsions, apopley, and death.
But even where the consumer does not
hazard to this extent, the strength is often
undermined, and a habit formed which can
never be thrown off. The alcohol drinker
can do without his dose at usual hour. 1f
the opium smoker does not get his pipe at
the accustomed time, his limbs become dc-
bilifatcd, a'discliarge of rhcum comes from
his eyes and nose, and he is unequal to any
exertion till the drug revives him. A more
helpless creature than the opium smoker.
without his whiffcannot, in fact be imagin—
dc. If the drug to long withheld, the con
sequences are invariably fatal. So long as
opium is smokeQiu moderation the effects
may not be remarkable; but those who have
inspected the opium dens are almost unani—
moon in opinion that, although more quiet
prevails in them than in a London gin-palace,
the groveliug sensualist is greatly more pain-
ful to look at than the violent druukard.
Being, more seductive and more tenacious
than spirits, the effects of opium in the
long run are necessarily more dangerous.—

An Intelligent Juryman.
The intelligent juryman has immortalized
himself in Colorado. One of the lawyers in
the case began browbealing a female witness.
The juryrqan in question was a reckless
miner, who seemed very uneasy as the sar-
castic lawy'Br continued to make the blushing
witness feel uncomfortable. At last the
juryman couldn’t stand it any longer, and
stood up, with one hand on his hip pocket,
and yelled : “Hi, thar, Mr. Stick-in-the-mud,
Jack McCabc won’t ’low no man to talk to a
woman in that shape, not while he’s round."
The judge told Jack to sit down and be quiet
and as be obeyed, the lawyer supercili-
ously said: “Of what weight to me'is the
opinion of an ignorant juryman ?” That’s
what I thought," roared Jack, jumping up

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made. .
1st. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT Worm”
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaucbaud. kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them Open.
2d. Our “PATENT HINGED CAP" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and. fastened by a thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-qunnr. Locxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED INSIDE,
instead of wood~lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount- of
water in our filling Without danger of the
Sales being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of our filling, pre—
vents thcm from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
itgyr our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a complete list of our Safes exposed,those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and. for months chal-
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing. they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating -to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved .the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a. Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled forits excellence. It has been
our constant aim to niake the utter Sarn that‘
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
have cost a. lifetime to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap—
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve _ their
contents from fire. “’9 make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. 1’ 1116. for descriptive catalogue.

while perhaps he takes part in the adminis—
tration of the state, and everywhere depends
on circumstances; ruling nothing, I may
say, while he conceives that he is ruling
much; compelled to be but politic where he
would willingly be reasonable, to dissemblc
where he would be open, to be false where
he would be upright; while thus for the sake
of an object which he never reaches he must
every moment sacrifice the first of objects,
harmony With. himself, a reasonable house—
wife is actually governing in the interior of
herfamily ; has the comfort oand activity of
every person in it to provide for, and make
possible. ‘ '
What is the highest happiness of mortals
if not to execute what we consider right and
good, to be really masters of the means con-
ducive to our aims ? And where should or
can our nearest aims be but in the interior
of our home ? ‘ All those indispensable and
[still to be renewed supplies, where do we
expect, do we require to find them, if not
in the place where we rise .aud where we go
to sleep, where kitchen and cellar, and
every species of accommodatiou‘ for our-
selves and ours is to be always ready ? What
uuvarying activity is needed to conduct this
constantly recurring series in unbroken liv—
ing order! How few are the men to whom
it is given to return regularly like a star, to
command their day as they command
their night ; to form for themselves their
household instruments, to sow and to reap
to grin and to expend, and to travel around
their circle with perpetual success and peace
and love I '
It is when a woman has attaiueed this in.-
ward mastery that she truly makes the bus-
band whom she loves a master; her‘atten-
tion will acquire all sorts of knowledge; her
activity will turn them all to profit. Thus
is she dependent upon no one; and she pro-
cures her husband genuine independence,
that which is interior and domestic; what
ever he possesses, he beholds secured ; what
he earns, 'wcll employed; and thus he can
direct his mind to lofty objects and if for—
tune favors, he may act in the state the
same character which well becomes his wife
at home.
, A DELIGHTFUL Romanov: by Alphonso Kart.
is called the ’,“Yellow Roses.” An old
couple 111's playing backgammon in a French
chateau, 1n the evening of their lives—the
lady silver—haired, though on her face are
the relics of an incomparable beauty, and
her companion courtier-like in every sense
of the word. The game :is interrupted by
the arrival of a friendhwbo is apparently a
stranger to both, and fails, to recognize in
either the least trace of prior knowledge or
past companiOnship. The conversation
among the old people turns upon the advan-
tages and disadvantages of matrimony, and
the possibility of such' a contradiction as a
constant man. The old lady, with playful
courtesy, twits the stranger with the fact
that_he is still a bachelor, and bids him tell
how it could have happened that with all
chances and opportunities, he was proof
against every seduction, and resisted the
fatal influence of love. Whereupon, with a
heavy sigh, the stranger bachelor takes up
the parable, and asks pardon for boring them
with the prelude'of a romance.“ Of course
he had loved.—who has not ?—and, equally
as a matter of course, she whom he loved
was fickle like her sex and untrue to her
promises. There had been an evening years
ago when only the rue word required to be
spoken; friendship had ripened into a very
sincere affection on both sides, as he was full
vain enough to;imagine. One night at a hell
be, full of love and buoyed up with confi-
dence, had presented the woman he had
hoped to marry with a bouquet of yellow
roses, in the heart of which he had con-
cealed a letter asking that fatal _ question
put with so much anxiety, and attended
with such natural doubt. This was to be
the love signal. If the bouquet was carried
that evening it was to be taken as a sign of
consent; it not, a kindly token of rejection.
the ball came, and the bouquet was not
there; coldness gave rise to misunderstand-
lug, cynicism changed into bitterness, and
the man who had been so ardent and hope-
ful quilted the scene, never saw the lady any
more, and tried to hide his disappointment
in the activity and enterprise of life, and
that was all my romance,” laughed the un'-
suspecting stranger, who could not account
for a sudden silence, or for the fact that the
silvershaired old lady without a word had
left the room. Eventually she return ,
bearing in her hand an old rusty box, which
she placed silently on the table and opened
with a silver key hanging at her waist. “A
bouquet of yellow roses,” she murmured to
herself, taking out a bunch of faded flowers,
and looking for the first time amid the
shriveled petals, she found aforgotten letter,
as yellow as the flowers had (lean in their
early youthx And so they met after this
long parting,and the love mystery was at last
explained too late.

Miss Kate Field describes George Eliot——
in an interview in The Gazette, of Baltimore
—as having an interesting face, and looking »
“like a horse." Of Charles Dickens, Miss
Field said that “he actually resembled a dog.
What kind of a don shall I say? Well, a
mastiff. He was strong, and at the same-
time he was gentle. George Eliot resembles
aborse, in that she has high cheek bones;
and when looking on her one is struck with
the fact that her capacity for work is almost
unlimited. She is about five feet three in-
ches high. Her disposition is very lovable,
and she is much liked. She is the most re-
tiring and bashful woman I ever saw. She
is generally abstracted; alwayslhinking,
and her voice is no louder than a common
whisper.” -

General Grant, it is said, intends to pay
the doctor’s bill of the small boy who was
severely injured by falling from a warehouse
while observing the General's arrival at Gal-
veston. He will, moreover, make the youth
a handsome present, and if, when he recov-
ers, he proves to be deserving, the General
will find him employment. So runs the Gal-
veston tale.
