The nIasons and the War.

Some time ago, Charles q. Winter
smith, a Past Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge of Free Masons of tho State Of
Kentucky, addressed an eloquent appeal
to the Past Grand Masters of that order
in all the other States, expressing a hope
that they would meet at Louisville, on
the third Monday of October next, for
the purpose of consulting "upon the most
feasible plan of fraternal and honorable
adjustment" Of the present difficulties in
our country. His suggestions were con.
Cured in by three other p. G.. Ms of
Kentucky, from Ohio, and the Grand
Master of Indiana. A reply to this COM
munication from the Deputy Grand Mas
ter and two Past Grand Masters of Mis-
sissippi has recently appeared. It's tone
affords another proof of the impossiblity
of making any terms with armed traitors,
as it's first sentence is "that in the eleven
States, who have asserted their independ.
ence of the Government of the United
States, the cord peace has bit one meaning,
and that is the recognition of the Con.
federste States Of America" They also
state that they have foresworn the
Union for themselves and their children
forever" and they refuse to entertain for
an instant the idea of considering any
plan of adjustment which is not based
upon the total destruction Of our noble
government.

IE-The New York Tribune makes
the letter of the Secretary of State in
reference to Mr.. Russell, the Times CORES.
pondent, the occasion for the following
criticism upon Mr.. Seward, who seems
not to be able to say or do anything to
please it. 1t says:
"Governor Seward, in letter which
we publish in our telegraph columns,
gives excellent reasons for not sending
toS Fort Lafayette the writer of what
would seem to be deemed an obnoxious
letter to the London Times, dated Wash
ington, August 10. The Secretary of
State does not seem to consider the edit
ing Of foreign journals within the circle
Of his official duties-a point on which
we entirely agree with him. We should
gladly place on record as sound and co
gent reasons for incarcerating without
reason the editors Of two-penny village
gazettes, published in loya sections, where
traitors might safely be sent to trial, or
even for noticing at all anonymous letters
TO foreign journal"
1t is something new for the Tribune TO
object to the incarceration of editors of
newspapers without arraignment or trial
particularly when these editors happen
to be democrats, but it shows that this
Fort Lafayette business has been carried
to such an extent as even to turn the
strong stomach of the 7ribnnc. Perhaps
the Tribune is haunted with the suspicion
that its own turn may come at no very
distant day, and that the public welfare
may require that its editors try the effects
of prison diet--who know?

As,oundiny DiscoYery in Francc.

The following sounds very much like
the stories of the Arabian Nights, or SIN
bad the Sailor, bpt it comes from a re-
spectacle source, and we give il for what
it is worth:
1t has been great mystery to English
bankers, and to the Directors Of the Bank
Of England, how the bullion of the Bank
of France could be so greatly increased
within the las. three years, while the in
stitution has been constantly sending
gold to England, to Germany and To
America. Not long since the Bauk OF
France drew some fifteen million francs
in silver from the Bank Of England, which
it paid for in gold bars with the French
Mint stamp on them. At its last rel ort
it showed a balance of one hundred and
seventeen million francs in gold, while
the amount one year ago was under
eighty millions earl Y one-thirdincrease.
1t is whispered that this abundance of
gold is the result Of scientific discovery,
which the Emperor Napoleon has secured
the monopoly of. Gold is at the present
moment manufactured at Paris in Sc
cret manner. The principal articles used
are lead and arsenic; and, though it is not
known how extensively the precious metal
is produced, yet several hundred weight
of tho material are taken to a certain
place on the first of each month. Every
thing is conducted with the utmost Sc
cresy. None of the workmcn are allowed
to leave, and nothing definite can be
known; but the fact that gold is produced
is beyond peradventurc. How long Ma
poleon III will be able to keep tais won
derlul secret remains to be eh.--Baak

ABOUT CORNED BEEF.

A correspondent of the American Ag-
riculturalist makes the following sensible
suggestions about "Corned Beef
Corned beef, properly sailed, and cook.
cd as il should be, is dish fit for the
sovereign people; but to eat salt junk,
such as too often exercises the muscles oil
the jaws, is q penauoo oven for male
factor. Most Of meat put up for winter
use is spoiled by the use of too much
salt, destroying the flavor and making
the meat stringy and tough. When bee
10 fresh, il contains considerable blood
which is drawn out by the brine. If the
meat is left in this bloody mixture, it viii
require a much larger quantity of salt to
preserve it, particularly through warm
weather. My plan is TO make brine by
using for every hundred pounds of beef,
five pounds of salt, one.fourth Of an ounce
Of saltpetre, and one pound of brown gu
gar. This is dissolved in just enough
water tocover the meat, and poured upon
il. When il has been in this brine two
weeks, l take out the meat, let it drain,
pour fresh brine over it, and then il
will be good, the season through.
The cook who uses corn beef should
not be SO ignorant as to delay putting i
over the fire until an hour before dinner
A good sized piece requires three or foul
hours steady boiling to do it jus,ice. In
sufficient boiling must be made up for by
extra chewing. Always have the water
boiling when the meat is dropped in
otherwise the sweetness will be drawn
out into the water. A boiling hea
hardens the outer surface at once, an,
thus keeps in the juices which give rich
ness, and which contain most of the nour
ishment. An excellent way of cooking
corned, beef is, to have large boiler
with a wire or wooden rack on the bot
tom for the meat to rest on, over tn,
water. When the water boiis, place tn,
meat upon the rack, and put on the cove
of the boiler, with a cloth over it to keel
in the steam. The head of the steam vii
rise above the boiling point, and pene
trate the meat, and cook il more quick.
and better than could be done by boiling

AL ASLEEP.

A Sabbath eve, in autumn's prime:
The flies low murmurs keep,
And. to their tiny music's time,
In dreary circles sweep,
Till. to the quaint and soothing chime,
They've waltzed themselves to sleep.
Poor puss has couched her snowy head
On CUSHIONS soft and warm
The lounge provides fitting bed
To bear her sleeping form.
And, like the mice of which we've read,
The creatures love to dorme.
My petted dog, a carpet knight,
Slumbers with outstretched toes
Whose velvet pillows, warm and white,
Support his honest nose
And canine visions of delight
Attend his calm repose.
Within yon deeply curtained space
Is seen snow white bed,
whose pillows lovingly embrace
A languid sleeping head
How much that wan and chiseled face
Reminds me of the dead
And yonder, in his old armchair,
With calm, unfurrowed brow,
Sleeps 'the beloved physician, where
He can, no matter how:
For sleep, with him, is something rare,
But he enjoysit now.
The very pen within my hand
Its Sabbath seems to keep,
And sinks in the accustomed stand,
To gauge the sable deep =
Puss, puppy, brother, husband, and
Your scribe, are fast asleep. F. H. c

PUBLIC BUILDINGS AT STOWE.


Some mention has already been made in
the newspapers of the school-house which
has been in process of crecti IN at the Cen
ter Village of Stowe, this season; but that
structure is so highly creditable to the
people of Stowe, especially to the inhabit-
ants of the Center Village District, who,
in the face of the hard times which have
been. and are now upon us, and have
shouldered the expense of it, also, so
worthy to be initiated by other large dis
trcts in other towns of the State, that we
think it deserves further notice.
Such as are acquainted with the Center
Village at Stowe, will, perhaps, take some
interest in the matter Of location. The
house is located about twenty rods east of
the main street, in the direction of what
is commonly called the Hollow" road.
Location was point of more than or
dlnary difficulty to settle. Some ten or
dozen meetings were held, during the past
two years. for the purpose of determining
the question: and sometimes one site, and
sometimes another, was determined on,
until a committee was appointed to select
location and build house as they saw
fit; which committee was so constituted
that they selected the location already in
dicated--in our opinion not the best one.
In choosing site for school-house, it
is undoubtedly point of primary impor-
tance to provide, as well as may be, for
the accommodation of the whole district,
to facilitate their access to school. That
being secured, or kept we'll in view, the
next point, especially in a village like ours,
should be to place it where it will, as much
as possible improve the appearance of the
village-throwing upon it a beauty which
must be reflected in rays reaching every
point of which it commands view
Though there were three or four sites that
would have accommodated the district just
as we'll. VIC believe no one finds fault with
the present location in that particular
and indeed, the site itself is an excellent
one for convenience, merely, and ever
for beauty, when we get to it, or when II
situation where it can be viewed. Tht
location Of the roads and buildings in this
village, is such that there is only three ol
four rods, in passing through the mail
street, where the school-house can be seer
at all, If the traveller had heard of oul
fine school house he might, by keeping {
sharp lookout, just catch glimpse Of i
in passing, If his attention. just at tn
time, were not attracted by the appearance
of the splendid church on the opposit
side Of the road.
Had the school house been located at o
near the head Of Pleasant Street, with
lane or common opening on to Mapl
Street, The district, in our opinion, woul'
have been at least as well accommodated
and the house would have been in ful
view from almost every point. except be
hind buildings, In every street in the vii
lage; indeed there is scarcely any poin
from which the village can be seen. tha
the school-house 50 located, could not b
secn. The house, with q slightly location

short of $4,000, and more than half Of
it to be borne by one School District.
When all these buildings are completed
and one or two more which we are quite
sure will be erected in the course of two
or three years. will not Stowe be quite a
delightful little place to dwell in?
