The menu card of the banquet tendered the visiting Shriuers at the Mouongahela House in i Pittsburg Monday evening was very handsome i and stiikiugly emblematical. The frontispiece was a steel engraving of a moonlight desert scene. A camp of Bedouins and the pyramids j in the distance added picturesquencss to the j general effect. At the banquet Serene Poten tate George 11. Walker, of Almas Temple, of this city, was called upon to respond to the j somewhat peculiar toast, "Peculiarities of the ' camel aud the Shriner." He was also appointed i chairman of the impoi taut credential committee of tho Imperial Council. Brother John F. Parker, of Harmony Lodge No. 17, died Saturday morning at 1 "o'clock.

The Shriuers of the city attended the special meeting of the Imperial Council of the order at Pittsburg, Pa., Monday last, in large numbers. A very cordial welcome was extended by the local committees, and everything possible was done to make tho visitors feel perfectly at homo and thoroughly enjoy the occasion. Quite a number of the Washiugtoulans remained lu tho city teveral days, and upon their return ex pressed themselves as being delighted with their reception and kind treatment. The regular mooting of the Imperial Council, which will be held in San Francisco during August, will not bo very largely attended by tho Eastern Shriuers, and tho Pittsburg reunion was consequently very successful. The first lodges of Freemasons which wero held on this Continent derived their charters from foreign sources, and in manyiustances the ancient records have bteu kept, and to-day are very valuable for reference as to the customs of the past. Though Iilue Masonry lias no national organization, et the fraternal intercourse of the (llll'crent grand lodges of the United States makes up in a great measure for what many authorities deem a sad defect, and have always contended that such an organization should exist. While it is uot without the pale of possi bility, yet it Is extremely improbable that any such body will ever be formed, though the good results which would accrue from such an organi sation cannot be too highly estimated. In this connection the following history of the dates of tho introduction of Masonry aud formation of grand lodges in different States will be highly futortsting: Alabama Freemasonry was introduced iato thl $Utte hv vijtuu of charters granted fryn tho Gmnd Lodgea of South Caroliua aud Tennessee, dates unknown.
