■ To say that the display was splendid would
live but a feint idea to thdse not fortunate
Inough to witness it, of the reality. The
logalia was very beautiful. The Regalia worn
py D. D. G. M. Hickok, a present from the

f Prayer, by Rev. B. G. W. lieed.
HYMN — Air, Coronation.
p. All glorious, mighty Lord! To thee
Our grateful songs we raise:
Bless'd source of our prosperity,
Thy guardian care we praise.
2. Our Order—once a little band—
In weakness, and in fear,
Besought the guidance of thy hand:
Its thorny path to cheer.
The few—through thy preserving care —
Are now a mighty host:
And thou, who heard'st our feeble prayer,
Shalt be our constant boast.
4. Oft mid despondency and tears.
Our foot Imw £<y Mo -
But thou, through long, eventful years,
Hast safely lea us on.
5. Then joyfully, our hymns of praise,
In gratitude we frame,
Our Hallelujahs, high we raise,
To thine Almighty Name.
[This hymn was composed for the occasion
by the orator of the day, Dr. C. N. Ilickok.]

Proclamation, by Past Grand S. L. Russell.
Address by District Deputy Grand Master,
C. N. Hickok.
[This was one of the finest efforts that we
have ever heard the Doctor make, though we
have frequently heard him before. The Doc
tor has made the subject a study, and he han
dles it with such skill that he has but few, if
any equals. The man who can listen to one
of his orations and go away without having
his prejudices against Odd fellowship soften
ed. must have a heart of flint. Mey his life
i e spared for many years, and may we have
the pleasure of hearing him at least once a
year.]
Prayer, by P. G., A. J. Middleton.
HTMX.— Air, Harwell.
1. Bless'd be thou, the God of Israel.
Thou our Father, and our Lord,
Bless'd tby Majesty forever,
Ever be thy Name adored.
Thine, 0 Lord, are power and greatness.
Glory, victory, are thine own:
All is thine in earth ahd heaven.
Over all thy boundless throne.
2. Riches come of thee, and honor:
Power and might to thee belong;
Thine it is to make us prosper,
Only thine to make us strong.
Lord our God, for these, thy bounties,
Hymns of gratitude we raise:
To thy Name, for ever glorious,
Ever we address our praise.
DOXOLOOY. — Air, Old Hundred.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him all creatures here below,
Praise Him above, ye heavenly hosts,

INTERNAL REVENUE DECISIONS. — As a mat
ter of interest we give the following decisions
on questions-of daily business transactions
condensed from'the rulings of [the Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue :
IVho shall affix Stamps to lastrummts of
Writing t —The law does not designate which
of the parties to an instrument of writing shall
furnish the necessary stamps, nordoesthe gov
ernment assume to determine that it shall be
supplied by one party rather than another. —
The affixing of a stamp may be the subject of
agreement between the parties thereto: but if
an instrument subject to stamp duty is issued
without having the necessary stamps affixed
thereto, it cannot be recorded, or admitted or
used as evidence in any court, until a legal
stamp has been affixed, and the person who
thus issues it is liable to a penalty, if he omit
the stamps with the intent to evade the pro
provisions of the law.
Executors and Administrators. —The offi
cial bonds of Executors, Administrators and
Guardians, are subject to a stamp tax of one
dollar each. Receipts taken by Administra
tors, Executors, Guardians, Trustees, Ac., to
be used as vouchers in the settlement of their
accounts, are subject to the same stamps as
other receipts.
Receipts of Attorney. —No stamp is re
quired upon the receipt of an Attorney for
a note or other claim left with him for collec
tion.
tual "consideration of value," and not the
mere nominal consideration, determines the
amount of stamp tax upon a conveyance oi
realty sold.
Marriage Certificates. —A marriage certifi
cate issued by the officiating clergyman or
magistrate, to be returned to any officer of a
State, County, Town. Ac.. to constitute part
of a public record, requires no stamp: but if it
is to be retained by the parties, a five cent
stamped must be affixed.
Landlord and Tenant.—A notice from a
landlord to his tenant to quit possession of
premises, requires no stamp.
According to a recent revenue decision a
bond to convey real estate requires stamps to
the amount of twenty-live cents. A mortgage
given to secure a surety from* loss, or given
for. any purpose whatever, other tiian as se
curity for the payment of a definite and cer
tain sum of money, is taxable only as an
agreement or contract. Upon every assign
ment or tiansfer of a mortgage, a stamp tax is
required equal to that imposed upon a mort
gage for the amount remaining unpaid; this
tax is required upon every such transfer in
writing, whether there is a sale of the mort
gage or not; but no stamp is necessary upon
the endorsement of a negotiable instrument,
even though the legal effect of such endorse
ment, is to transfer a mortgage by which the
instrument is secured. The official bonds of
administrators, executors, and guardians, are
subject to a stamp tax of $1 each, as bonds
fr the due execution or performance of the
duties of an office. Receipts taken by ad
ministrators, executors, guardians, trustees,
Ac., to be used as vouchers upon the settle
merit of their accounts, are subject to the
same stamp taxes as other receipts. Parti
tion deeds between tenants in common need
not be stamped as conveyances, inasmuch as
there is no case of realty, but merely a mark
ing out, or a defining of the boundaries of the
part belonging to each; but where money
Or otLcr vo.lvAo.LL© ooncirlomlinn ic pftirl liy
one co-tenant to another for equality of par
tition, there is a sale to the extent of such
consideration, and the conveyance by the
party receiving it should be stamped accor
dingly.—Exchange.

THE HISTORY OF THE SECRET SERVICE DUR-
I sc. THE REBELLION. —Br General L. C.
Baker, late Provost Marshal and Chief De
tective of the War Department. Philadel
phia: P. Garrett & Co. 702 Chestnut Street.
The name of Lafayette C. Baker became a
household word during the late war, a terror
to the traitorous enemies of the Union, ami a
talisman of safety, and security to the loyal
and true. From the inception of the Rebel
lion until the days wnen Rebel rule was re
established in Washington under the patron
age and protection of Andrew Johnson, Gen
eral Baker was tn active, efficient, and-useful
servant to the country. What he saw and did
during the eventful five years of the war,
forms the sterling and engrossing themes of
this remarkable book.
From the nature of the service in which
the General was constantly engaged, his deeds
and methods of action were but vaguely hin
ted at in the chronicles ol the day. But now
that the necessity for secrecy no longer exists
General Baker deems it fit and proper that his
countrymen should learn the full details ol lii g
career, and they are to be found in this the
most romantic volume which the war has
produced. The author has made a clean
breast of it; there is "nothing extenuated, nor
aught set down in malice." That these reve
lations will cause a great fluttering in the high
official circles at Washington there is no
douDt; more strange things have transpired in
the National Capital since the surrender of
Lee, and General Baker has full knowledge
of them all, —and the present publication will
no doubt produce a rich crop of Congressional
Investigating Committees.
The details of the conspiracy which culmi
nated in the assassination of the lamented
Lincoln, are here for the first time fblly di-
vulged; the great crime is traced from its in
ception until the guilty conspirators dangled
between heaven and earth.
During the time of actual war General
Baker saw much service, all of it of a myste
rious, novel and highly interesting character.
The manner in which he circumvented the
disloyal schemes of contraband traitors, who
despite military lines, furnished the Rebels
with necessary supplies, is fully explained;
the determination to extirpate this nefarious
traffic gave rise to many exciting and startling
adventures, which read like legends of the
feudal ages, but are literally true. The ro
mance of the war has not yet been written,
but General Baker's work gives us the real
and vivid pictures of the hitherto unknown
phases in the great struggle tor National
unity. The work is printed from new and
beautiful type, on stout white paper, hand
somely and substantially bound in black cloth
is embellished with a fine sfte! portrait of
General Baker, and sixteen well executed
wood cuts, representing scenes of interest;
among the rest is a view of the burial place of
J. Wilkes Booth. Sold only by subscription
by the Publishers authorized agents.
THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW. —ApriI.
The American public owes a debt of grati
tude to Messrs. Ticknor 4 Fields for this
elegaut quarterly. The English quarterlies
are indispensable to any otic who wishes to
be informed in regard to current English
literature: But with all their stateiiness and
with a full knowledge of their intrinsic value,
it is with pleasure that we turn from them to
taKO up fire . URN; .IIMLIUH ... ........ ...
always find more of the fire and vigor of our
own newer life, with neither less learning nor
less chaste correct and elegant English. A
large portion of the present number is devoted
to the discussion of important industrial and
financial questions. The chief-literary arti
cles are a review of the Modern Italian
Poets," and an article on Longfellow by
Howells, "Leasing" by James Russell Lowell,
Charles Lamb and his Biographers,, "Relig
ious Liberty and "Deaf Mute Education." In
"The New Jersey monopolies" is presented
a remarkable exhibition of the frauds and in
trigues by which a powerful moneyed com
bination have succeeded in cheating not only
the stockholders oi the Jersey railroads but
the state itself and the public large. "The
Railroad System" discusses pertinently the
[ development and tendency of railroad building
and rai'road management and states facts and
principles in railroad administration which
have an importent bearing upon the railroad
contest now going on in Pennsylvania. It says;
"Railroads cannot and must not be regar
ded simply, or even principally, as the pro
perty of individuals, —as an investment of so
much capital which in its invested form be
longs exclusively to the owners, and should
be made to return to them the highest possible
remuneration. In the early days of the sys
tem, before its immense importance was reali
zed, such a vww might have been excusable,
however shortsighted. It certainly prevailed
to a very great degree, and led to the grant
ing of many foolish charters, and to much
future embarrassment. It is a view of the
matter, however, which is no longer tolerable.
It is only after many limitations and restric
tions that railroads can be said to be private
corporations at all. In common with banks,
they hold relations to the community different
from other corporations; for they possess
many extraordinary powers, which in law are
sometimes called prerogative franchises, and
which partake of the quality of sovereignty,
for "both currency and internal communica
tion between different portions of a state are
exclusively the prerogatives of sovereignty.
Even more than banks they have a debt to tul
lil to the community, as well ae to their stock-
UotJcrs: they receive greater privileges, for
which they are bound, in return, to a heavlo.
consideration. "

Schenck's Seaweed Tonic.
This medicine, invented by Dr. J. 11. Schenck
of Philadelphia, is intended to dissolve tho food
and make it into chyme, the first process of diges
tion. By cleansing the stomach with Schenck's
Mandrake Pills, the Tonic soon restores the appe
tite, and food that could pot be eaten before using
it will be easily digested
Consumption cannot be cured by Behenck's
Pulmonic Syrnp unless the stomach and liver is
made healthy and the appetite restored, hence the
Tonic and Pills are required in nearly every case
of consumption. A half dozen bottles of the
SEAWEED TONIC and three or fonr boxes of the
MANDRAKE PILLS will cure any ordinary case
of dyspepsia.
Dr.-Schcnck makes professional yi-its in New
Y'erk, Boston, and at his principal -office in Phila
delphia every week. See daily papers of each
place, or his pamphlet on consumption for his days

Strength for the Exhausted.
Thousands die, as it were, inch by inch, of bodi- j
ly weakness: for debility will kill as certainly, I
though not so quickly, as a raging fever. Is it
asked how the weak shall be made etfong; the
debilitated sustained and restored; the exhausted
refilled with vital energy? We aver that of all
invigorating preparations given by science to man,
from the institution of tho art of healing to the
present hour, not one has wrought such wonders
in the way of restoration as JIOSTETTER'S CEL
EBRATED STOMACH BITTEKS. This is in
deed the touic of tonics. As a revitalising,
strength-supporting, life-prolonging agent, the
like of it is not to be found in the catalogue of
medicines. Among the various articles used to
arouse the dormant powers of nature, it stands
alone—the great awnkener of tht paralysed phys
ique. It not only awakens the physical powers
from a state of collapse and inaa tion, but it im
parts permanent vigor to the muscular and ner
vous systems—reinforcing, as it wero, both the
stronghold and the outworks of vitality. The
aged, the decrepid, the nervous, the broken down
of both sexes, are recommended to try it. They
will assuredly find it a present help in time of
trouble.
