delegates from the diU'ercnt lodges, I.

due time from the Grand Lodge recent
ly held in East Portland. They say it
was tho most interesting session over

ted them from returning perfectly con
tentediwas tho conduct of brother J.
W. Norville, of the Summerville lodge.

city, on the corner
To say that thev
are wonderfully and fearfully put to
gether will hardly convey to the mind
of the average reader an idea of the
profound architectural skill required
in their construction. In fact nothing
but a pencil in the. hands of someMur
illo, could give even a faint idea of their
wild, weird aspect, or cause the mind
to faintly grasp tho idea of the builder
in his "architectural fantasy." If
credit is due to anyone for the pict
urcrfquo nuiuiur in which the buildings
arc grouped, it belongs to Jou Nodine,
the man who moved the buildings on
to their present site. It seems the
city council had so many weighty ar
guments ami consumed so much time
on the subject, that as the weeks and
months slid along into the sweet subse
queotly, Jo got warm under his necktie
and said "he would group them him
self, and be d d to the council."
Candor compels us to hay that Joe did
his work in good shape, and we have
no fault to find in regard to his ideas
in "grouping" as illustrated in thcuo
buildings, but we do think the city
council is very slow' in completing tho
work, and carrying to completion their
conceptions in regard to these edifices.
Doubtless (he members of the council, .
having in their "minds' eye" the beau
tiful appearance the buildings will pre
sent when completed, view them in
that light, while the populace view
them as they really are at present.
Hence tho uncomplimentary remarks
indulged in by the populaeo in regard
to tlio council. Wo
think the work
should be hurried up some. Iu6tead
of the walls of those buildings resound-
' ing nightly, with the rounded periods,
j and eloquent sentences of I lis Honor,
! the Mayor, and the persuasive utter
ences of tho councihnen aruin with
I each other, the Thomas cat seeks his
I mate therein and with songs and hil
i arity whiles away tho night. The
weary tramps somclimufi rest in it for
a night or two, and smoko their pipes
in peace, feeling that thy are, in a
I measure, under, the protecting arms of
the city authorities and eanaflord to be
insolent. A charge ought to h made
and wo are in hoes tho common coun
cil, in its own good time, will make
it.
