PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND COUNCIL OF TENNESSE , 1 S 85 , 1886 , 1887 , 1888 . Nashville . : Brandon Printing and Lithograph Company . 1888 . We gather from these reports of proceedings that this branch of Masonry has made fair progress during the period to which they relate . From the account of the 3 Sth annual assembly , held at Freemasons' Hall , Nashville ,

on the 23 rd January last , under the presidency of Comp . A . S . Myers , M . I . G . M ., who was well supported by his G . Officers and the members , it appears that an addition was made to the number of subordinate councils during the year 1 S 87 , and a slight numerical increase in the membership , there being now io councils with 307 members , as compared with nine councils and 295 members in 18 S 6 . The Grand Treasurer ' s accounts , though dealing with small sums , are

satisfactory , the balance being the result of an excess of income over expenditure . The principal Grand Officers for the year are Comps . John B . Garrett , M . I . G . M . ; J . M . Smyth , D . G . M . ; N . F . Harrison , G . Pr . C . of W . j N . S . Woodward , G . Treas . j and John Frizzell G . Rec . The ] reports are supplemented by lists of the principal G . Officers from the establishment of the Grand Council in 1847 , and of the G . Representatives at and from other G . Councils , and by the Constitutions of the G . Council .

PROCEEDINGS OF THE GRAND COMMANDERY OF TENNESSEE : The 26 th Annual Conclave at Clarksville , 8 thandgth May , 1 S 8 S . Nashville : Brandon Printing and Lithograph Company . 18 SS . The 26 th Annual Grand Conclave of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Tennessee was held under the banner of the Clarksville Commandery , No . 8 .

Clarksville , on the Sth and 9 th May last . Sir Knight Charles W . Mosby , G . C ., presided , and most of the Grand Officers were present , as well as a large muster of members , with several Past G . Officers and representatives of other Grand Commanderies . The Grand Commander ' s address was somewhat briefer than such addresses usually are , but this in our judgment is rather a gain than a drawback , for , as a

rule , the rulers of Grand Bodies in America go too minutely into detail . The financial and statistical reports are on the whole satisfactory , the expenditure being comfortably within the income , while the membership shows a moderate advance for the year over 1887 . The principal Grand Officers elected for the ensuing year were Sir Knights Gamaliel B . Wilson , G . C .: William C . Smith , Deputy

G . C ., - Nathan S . Woodward , G . Gen . ; R . Pillow , G . Capt . Gen . ; C . H . Strickland , G . Prelate ; Thomas O . Morris , S . G . W . ; Hugh B . Cullen , J . G . W . ; Joseph H . Bullock , G . Treas . ; and George C . Connor , G . Recorder . In addition to the Report of the Proceedings there is plenty of statistical information , and a long and carefully compiled

report on Correspondence , together with a Digest of the Statutes and Regulations of the Grand Encampment of the United States and the State of Tennessee , and other valuable matter , so that the reader is not likely to search in vain for any really valuable information relating to the Masonic Order of the Temple in Tennessee he may be desirous of obtaining .

REPORT OF THE MASONIC FEMALE ORPHAN SCHOOL OF IRELAND for 1887 . The above Report is issued in a neat form , and contains a deal of interesting information . The number of pupils on 1 st January , 1887 , was 62 , but on the last day in the year 72 were on the roll . For the purpose , however , of comparison , it is scarcely fair to include the larger number as benefiting during 1887 , but taking 62 as the total for the

previous year , we find that the total charges under all heads amounted to £ 2065 15 s ., or a trifle over £ 33 for each orphan . The total expenses for 18 S 7 have run to £ 2274 2 s . 4 d . The success of the Girls during the year has been highly satisfactory , and the health of the scholars has been very good . Under the new management , and since the removal to the new buildings , the total costs for

the maintenance of over 60 pupils has been less than paid for 35 Girls in 1880 ! Regret is expressed that not onethird of the lodges on the roll give any official subscription , though a few examples have been given of the greatest generosity . In Lodge 47 , Dundalk , every subscribing member is a Governor ; at each monthly meeting of Lodge 935 Wexford , an amount sufficient to qualify on annual

, Governor is collected . Other instances are noted , in like manner , of substantial aid , and it is hoped that this year will witness a great increase of support , as the Institution well deserves . The invested funds amount to some £ 18 , 000 , and there are "Local Treasurers" to collect the subscriptions according to provinces , which strikes us as

an excellent feature , and worth trying in England . The amounts so obtained are duly acknowledged in the report , under the several provinces , as well as in the general list of subscriptions . We have said enough to prove that our brethren in Ireland are doing a good work for the " Girls , " and we hope soon to say a word or two about the " Boys . "

THE LIFE INSURANCE AGENTS' LEGAL HANDY BOOK . By J ROBERT FREEMAN , Barrister-at-Law . Thomas Murby , 3 , Ludgate-circus-buildings , E . C . One shilling . The issue of policies for small sums to persons very slightly acquainted with , or altogether ignorant of , the

nature of the insurance contract , as well unaccustomed as disinclined by prejudice or inability to defray legal charges , renders it very necessary for the life insurance agent to possess some knowledge of the ordinary formalities required on the effectuation of an assurance and subsequent dealings with the policy . . Whilst it can never be wise or prudent for persons unacquainted with the rules and prac-
