Griffin The Earl of Carnervon, the Pro-Grand Master of English Freemasons, a few days ago, at a very large meeting of Grand Lodge members who represent the 1,700 lodges "working" under the English institution, called attention to the recent action of the Grand Orient in France, which had struck out from their preliminary declaration words expressing belief in the existence of God and the immortality of the soul. There has been much debate upon this point in France itself, and seventy-six lodges had protested against the change. The Irish Grand Lodge did not hesitate to pass a resolution, uncompromisingly drawn, regretting the act of the French Orient, and dealing with it. In ordinary cases the Grand Lodge would have no right to interfere, but this was a matter which called for notice, as the French Grand Orient could not effect these changes without affecting the whole Masonic body throughout the world. The limits of Free-masonry were very wide, and included Roman Catholics, Protestants—Church of England and Dissenters—the Mussulmans, the Calvinists, Lutherans, and Jews, and the whole were bounded by the principles of religion, and there could be no such principle without the belief in God. The Prince of Wales was unanimously renominated Grand Master for the ensuing year. The Chinese question in Peru seems to have taken form in strong contrast with that of the same question on our Pacific Coast. The Peruvian Government fosters immigration from China. To this end a contract has been made with Oliphant & Co., of New York, by the terms of which this firm, in consideration of an annual subsidy of $160,-000, agrees to run a line of steamers for five years between Asia and Peru. Their steamers are to make twenty-eight round trips each year, and each vessel is to be of sufficient capacity for one thousand passengers. The contractors undertake to introduce as many immigrants as possible so that, at the end of each year, at least five hundred shall have arrived by each vessel. In the past fourteen years, 86,000 Chinamen have been landed in Peru. They were formerly badly treated, but now are taken good care of. New York, Jan. 3.-Two or three days since Thos. Lord, one of the wealthiest retired merchants of this city, aged 84, married Mra. Wilhemina Wicks, aged 42. The sons of NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—Two or three days since Theodor Lord, one of the wealthiest retired merchants of this city, aged 84, married Mrs. Wilhemina Wicks, aged 42. The sons of Lord joined in a petition to Judge Van Brunt, sitting in Supreme Court, stating that their father is and for some time has been deprived of his reason and understanding through old age, infirmity and the decay of his natural powers, and is unfit for the government of himself and the management of his estate, wherefore they pray for Commission in Lunacy. The application is supported by the affidavits of three sons and the janitor of one of their father's buildings. All state instances of his lack of memory and unfitness for business. The old gentleman owns between $900,000 and $1,000,000 in improved real estate, and personal property worth $300,000. He has been in the receipt of $125,000 income, while his personal expenses did not exceed $26,000. The Reporter's Passion. The following, written for the occasion, was read at the annual dinner of the Boston Press Club: Upon his dying bed of pain the old reporter lay; he knew that are the sun should rise his soul must pass away. And as he felt the current ebb, he called a comrade tried, "Friend, in the hour of mortal pain I'd have tree by my side. Now swear to me by all that's good, by all that faith holds dear, thou wilt perform a last request, a paring charge revere." He bared his brow, he raised his hand; "it shall be done, I vow." The old reporter smiled and said, "I can die easier now. When from this worn enfeebled frame departs my latest breath, bear thou with speed to the Daily News' notice of my death. But, mark me! guard the tidings well from Democrat and Mail." His eye resumed its wonted fire, his cheek became less pale. "We beat 'em on the college race, we beat 'em on the fire; we got ahead on the bank smash up—fulil my last desire. We beat 'em first—we'll beat em last!" his eager spirit fled; and with a smile upon his face the journalist lay dead! The Georgia farmer who has carried off the palm this year is Mr. James H. Booker. He raised sixty bales of cotton, twelve hundred bushels of corn, five hundred of potatoes, a thousand of oats and wheat, and twenty-five hogs. The newspaper chronicle this as the greatest harvest by any one man since the war. A strange disorder has seized upon cattle in Crumwell and Rocky Fall, Conn. It has many of the symptoms of hydrophobia. The animals begin by jumping, meaning and believing; they grow worse, and in three days they die. If approached they become furious and dangerous, and all attacked by the disease have died. A novel movement on the part of colored persons in Augusta, Ga., is the formation of a company with a capital of fifty thousand each year, and each vessel is to be of sufficient capacity for one thousand passengers. The contractors undertake to introduce as many immigrants as possible so that, at the end of each year, at least five hundred shall have arrived by each vessel. In the past fourteen years, 86,000 Chinamen have been landed in Peru. They were formerly badly treated, but now are taken good care of. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS District No. 1 (Chairman) G.

[FROM LAST SATURDAY'S SECOND EDITION.] The Salt Lake Tribune, of a recent date, has the following report of progress: Yesterday the workmen on the Temple ceased their labors. The structure is now eighteen feet above the ground, and the church organ tells us that it is to be 120 feet high when completed. The foundation was laid twenty-four years ago, and if it be rushed through at the same rate, the saints will have the satisfaction of seeing the last stone in place 178 years hence. Be patient, brethern. The following record of rainfall up to January 1st, is taken from the Alta: Sacramento...3.37 Penns Grove...5.92 Napa...3.00 Denverton...3.84 Pacheco...1.25 Pescadero...5.00 Gilroy...2.97 Hollister...2.57 San Juan South...2.00 Paeso Robles...4.50 Cambria...5.25 San Luis Obispo...5.50 Ventura...4.00 Los Angeles...6.00 A telegram per military line from Mariopa Wells, A. T., dated last evening, informs us that Fowler, Paymaster, U. S. A., was stopped fourteen miles west of Mariopa by three masked highwaymen, and robbed of $265 in currency. The robbers also took three Government mules. They told Major Fowler they meant to "take in" the stage that evening, and when the Major met the stage he took off Wells, Fargo & Co.'s treasure-box and brought it back to Mariopa. The dispatch says the robbers evidently expected to make a big haul, supposing Major Fowler to be traveling with a large sum of money to pay the troops, but they missed it, as he had comparatively little money with him and that probably his own, being on the way to Tucson awaiting orders. A party was to start from Mariopa this morning in pursuit of the robbers.—San Diego Union, 31. A strange disorder has seized upon cattle in Cremwell and Rocky Fall, Conn. It has many of the symptoms of hydrophobia. The animals begin by jumping, meaning and believing; they grow worse, and in three days they die. If approached they become furious and dangerous, and all attacked by the disease have died. A novel movement on the part of colored persons in Augusta, Ga., is the formation of a company with a capital of fifty thousand dollars to establish a cotton factory there. One of the reasons for this project is explained to be a desire to provide a place of employment for colored youths as soon as they cease going to school. At Olympia, W. T. in November the rainfall was 19.88 inches. The number of rainy days 23. Twenty-three rainy days out of thirty is a pretty fair start for a winter series of storms. A German gentleman who is anxious to put down the immense trade done in deleterious wines, has had many samples bought in hotels and restaurants, analyzed, and several didn't contain any juice of the grape whatever. Noting the fact of the large increase in the crime record of Kentucky, the Courier Journal remarks, pensively, that "revolvers, idleness and whisky are the three Kentucky's most malignant enemies." It is told of President Hayes' army experience, that wounded, he fell into the hands of a kindly Southern family, and had both a Federal and Confederate surgeon. The Northern surgeon wanted to cut his patient's arm off; the Southern man persisted, and saved it. It is said Mr. Hayes has retained friendly relations with his entertainers ever since, and has given an office to a member of the family. Dr. L. B. Woolfolk, of Lexington, Ky., says the present mild winter vindicates his well-known weather theory that heavy cannonading draws the Arctic currents to the place of firing, taking with them cold weather and great snowfalls, and giving to the other part of the world mild weather and no snow. The cold at Crimea in 1854-55 gave to this continent an open winter; and now the bombardment of Plevna is bringing us the same conditions of weather as then. AGRICULTURAL Implements!
