The Grand Lodge of Masons
met in Kaleigh last week, and
quietly transacted the usual bus
iness. The most amusing occur
rence was Judge Tourjd’s de
nunciation of the Washington
monument as a Yankee humbug
imd national swindle. Tlie Grand
Master was reelected. The J. G.
W. was made S. 6. W., and R. V.
lUackstock, of Buncombe, was
made J. G. Warden.
A monthly appropriation of
8IGG.G6 was made to the Orjjlian
Asylums, and some committees
tm important matters were ap-
Jiointed. AVhat they will do, re
mains to be seen. One hundred
and thirty-four orphans were re
ported under instruction. The
total receipts tor the orphan work
■were 813,449,19. The children
at O.’tford and Mars Hill were re
ported in good health. The
treasury was also reported in a
healthy condition.

A few weeks ago wo met a

went with him to Windsor and
loft him tlicre. He wanted some

his clothes, to find his Itat and

Jlr. J. II. Mills accepted the position of
^u)ieriiitcmleut of the A.^iylum for another
twelve months.—Daily News.
He was elected twice and twice
declined: on the last day, he
consented to serve for a short
time, giving the Grand Master
thirt}’ da^’s notice, whenever he
shall determine to retire.
Rev. W. S. Lacy started some
rrjoney to the orphans on the

promptness adds to the fragrance

Personal.—Mr. James 11. Moore, Ptow-

through this city yesterday oveniug en route to
the Asylum at Mars Hill, where he will s])oud
the next month in reorganizing that institution,

and necessity of giving it a hearty aud organ

throughout the State will applaud his efforts
in that line.—Daily News.
Mr. Sams having resigned the

The Wilson Advance has told
how a. negro jireacher swindled
Mr. Eaton PeriyofNash ontofa
horse and sulky and one luuidred
dollars. All the roguish negroes
will soon go to preaching, if white
men will supply tlieiii witli horses,

blame them? Rev. J. L. Carroll,
of Abi., lately told, in tiie Jiiblkal
liecorder, how a man (whoso onl\’
claim to kindness was- that he
had killed a negro in North Car
olina,) swindled him out of hftj^
dollars. He ought to have car
ried the man to jail aud notified
the authorities. In stead of that,
he gave him monej' and clothes
and then wrote a. long article,
gi-unibling because a wet blanket
had been tin-own over his Tar
heel sympathies. Messrs Perry,
Carroll, and all otliers similarh’
afflicted, are invited to invest in
the oi'idian work, and then tliev'

money goes on an errand of love

money which otu’ people are

One of the ejuietest men at the
