York. The rite 1ms nn enrollment of over
twenty-five thousand members in this coun
try , about twelve hundred of whom are in
New York. There was nn exemplification
in full form within the Consistory of the
Subllmo Princess of the Hoyal Secret.
The degree which received special exem
plification on this occasion was the twenty-
seventh. Commander of the Templo. Some
conceptions can be formed of its grandeur
when it is known that there were required
eighty-six brethren in full costume on tlio
floor of the hall , with u double quartet ,
three organists and three cornetists. Charles
T. McCleaachan , ! Wd degree , was the com-
mandcr-ln-chiof.
All the degrees during tlio reunion worn
conferred with that magnificence of pomp
and ceremony characteristic of tlio rito. Thu
.display of talent and intellect has never
been excelled , if oven equalled , and thu
gathering will long bo remembered by the
brethren as ono of the greatest events ! n thif
annals of the Scottish rite.
Delegates of the thirty-second and thirty-
third degrees from almost every state in the
union were present at the meeting.

An important fraternity benevolent insur
anu decision was given in the superior court
of Cook comity , Illinois , recently , says a
writer in the Western Workman. A mem
ber ofKtiia lod''a , No. ifili , Illinois , died
March 1 , 1835. An as .o ) inunt was called
February 1. Ho became sick on the SI and
died on the Mist , \ritUcmt laving p lid his as-
segment. His family did not know of his
membership in the order until after his death.
Later , a memuor of tAa family paid his ar
rearages , concealing Uls death from tlio
Jimuicior , At the next meeting
of the ledge the dqjith of this member
was announced. Tie | ledge voted to rein
state the old mun , T iu lodge caused the
regular form of proof of death to bo made
out and it was siguoU ) y the proper ollicord.
A llttlo later the Q. M , W. visited the lodge
and informed them thgt the certltlcuto could
not bo paid us the reinstatement was con
trary to the laws of the order. Owing to the
unfortunate clrcunwtauucs the G. M. W , sug
gested that u circular addressed to the lodges
would no doubt produce the amount of the
certificate. The father of the deceased said
they wore no paupers and would not receive
money in that way. The G , M. W. was sus
tained in his action by the Judiciary committee -
tee and the grand lodgo. The superior court
of Cook county Instructed the Jury as a matter -
tor of luwtbut the non-payment of the assess

HENRIETTA SATINES.
A new cloth just introduced ,
made from the best Sea Isl

weight , glossy in finish , and
perfection in black. The man
ufacturer wishes us to guaran
tee , these goods to be fast black ;
water , sun or perspiration will
not change the color ; even
muriatic acid has no effect what
ever on this black. We claim
these are the only Black Sat-
incs as yet produced that acids
will not stain. They have all
the appearance of a Silk Wool
Henrietta , without their weight
or warmth. These goods arc
finer than any French Satines
that are now sold at 5oc. All

thing guarantees do not amount
to much , but any dress not
proving as above represented ,
the money will be cheerfully

Fish That WnrMc.
A Cipo May dispatch to the Balti
more American says : The sinprinp shad
has been scon and hoard in the lower
Delaware biy : this spring. It hasn't
boon seen in largo quantities , of course ,
for the appearance of this odd llHh in
these waters is a rare occurrence. But
few of the singing shad have enchanted
the fishermen since the fcciison began.
They come from the south , and only
when the wind lias died down and the
water is quiet. They come in schools ,
emitting musical notes as they swim
along. The bounds they multo arc soft
and homothing lilfo the e of an acolian
harp. It is hard to express or rather
imitate , on paper , the melody they sing.
It runs something like this :
Woe ho , ho di do do ; wee ho , die di
dum.
This Bound cannot be made with any
effect , oxecnt when the shad travel in
bchools. The singing of a single Blind
is too feeble to bo heard above the rip
ple of the water. This year has been
the first , probably for a dccndo , that the
singing Blind has favored the fishermen
of Delaware bay. Captain Arnold ,
olio of the oldest and most truth
ful of South Jersey fishermen , said
the other day that ho had heard
the singing shad a number of times In
his piscatorial career. "Thoy are rare ,
of course , so far north as this. Kvon
when they do come only old fishers are
apt to hear and distinguish them. Wo
know about them and are more or less
on the lookout for their occaMonal ar
rival. They really belong oil the coasts
of Bolivia and Chili. There they are
quite common. All sorts of fairy tales
are narrated about them by South
American fishermen. The Hinging shad
alHO breed in Japanese wntorri. The
Japan fishermen are delighted when
they strike a eehool of singing shad.
They follow them up reverently , because -
cause they believe the flbh are inspired.
They throw them food , and never catcher
or eat them. "
The singing shad is different from
the common-buck or roe blind. Jt is not
so Inrgo and there is a blight dilTerenco
in the formation of the mouth. Onlyan
'
export fisherman can tell when ho 'has
caught ono of the finny songsterri. Old
fibhurmuii regard the musical shad as
prizes and do not send them to market
unless they are paid a very high price
for them. It is estimated that they
travel in schools of about five hundred ,
Their Ringing is pleasing at first , but
EOOII grows monotonous , owing to the
fact that it is a constant repetition of
the same few sounds. Whether many
of theho peculiar llfah ever go on up the
Delaware or move on to New York and
mingle with the plain , every-day IIud
fcon river shad is not known. They lese
their identity when they get m with
other fibh and it iu doubtful if they over
sing ulone. _
