under this Grand Lodge are 200 , and about 8 , 000 members . At Natchez , in this state , a beautiful evergreen , entitled the Acacia , sprang into existence with the beginning of 1855 . It is ably edited by Bro . Mellen ; but I see by your frequent reviews of it in the Magazine , that you not only receive and acknowledge , but you appreciate it ; I will merely say that it is a . " sprig " that should be in the buttonhole or bookcase of every Mason . I might add , that there is this difference between Bro . Mellen ' s Acacia and the Acacia of Mount M . \ While tradition
