The body will : meet next year at Boston. Needham says this is funny, and we agree with him." The National Temperance Advocate, of New, York, alluding to the fact that the next meeting of the R. W.

A memorial came up from two or three colored lodges from 4 the South, demanding the same passwords as the white lodges, and the R. W. O. Lodge ordered the Grand Lodges to ti'ansmit it lo them.' The Order claims to be a social institution,, and this attempt to force social equality led the Southern delegates, to withdraw the invitation to visit Louisville, and Boston, Massa chusetts, was finally selected." 1 ' A. correspondent of the Watch man writing from.
