During the siege of Vicksburg, officers

itself in battle, it was surely to be one of

after the fall, and "the boys" did not care
to be ashamed of their colonel's external
appearance on such an occasion. Ac-
cordingly the return boat brought blue

he very coolly for moment viewed it. as if
for a grand strategic movement, when he
deliberately unbuttoned his vest, seized
the "grayback" between his thumb and

claiming with an oath as he did so:

ARTIFICIAL RA1NBow.--There has late
ly been contrived for the French theatre
a method of iinitating'the rainbow. The
inventor employs an electric light. The
first lenses Of his optical apparatus render
the rays from this source parallel and
transmit them through q rainbow shaped
hole In. a screen to q double convex lens
of very short focus; from which they
pass to prism, and emerge with suffi-
cient divergence to make an effective
rainbow on a screen about six yards off.
This rainbow is said to be brilliant, even
when the whole scene is Lit up.

appearance in due season for breakfast.
and the Englishman, as usual, brought
up from the cellar the mornings rations
of whiskey in a mug-what he supposed
sufficient for "all hands," In considera-

he handed him the mug first, Starkey,

CELEBRATION OF 81. JOHNS
DAY AT BEAUFORT, s. T.


st. Johns day, Cthe 24th,) was cele-
hrated at Beaufort by the Masons Of this
Department in a very interesting manner,
and we regret our inability, on account
Of press of advertizing and other
matter, to give an earlier account
But we consider the demonstration of
sufficient importance to report even at
this late day, and We therefore give an
outline Of the exercises, somewhat more
brief, however, than We had originally
intended.
THE CELEBRATION
was gotten up by the Masons Of Beaufort,
but Invitations were extended to all the
members of the Fraternity in the Depart
ment and the feet. The bgetiren at
Beaufort were very active in their pre-
parations for the affair, and the arrange
ments were all made in most creditable
manner.
THE STEAMER WYOMING,
Capt. Parker, carried up large delega-
tion of Masons from this vicinity. The
Masonic colors were ,hoisted at tbe fore
at starting. On arriving at Beaufort. the
party were received by the brethren at
the Magnolia House, and with the band
of the lst Michigan Regiment were es-
cored to the lodge-room on Bay street,
where some time was occupied h pre-
paration for

was through Bay and Eight stfsass to

A considerable time was occupied in

SENTIMENTS, REMARKS, &c.
These we have not space for reporting

of the sentiments were very appropriate,

Hall, in some eloquent remarks spoke OF
our brethren who were our enemies
enemies because rebels in arms, and yio-
lators of our laws-and said that when
this strife is over, and they are in distress,
they would be again known as brothers.
In this connection he proposed the health
of NJ, w. Bro. Albert G.. Mackey, Past
Grand Master Of the State, and said that
no man had made more sacrifices in this
war, in acts Of Masonic charity than he,
although apparently espoused to the rebe
cause. He had never been appealed to
in vain, and usually anticipated all appli-
cations; and the lessons of charity he
had given. should be written in letters of
gold. -,
The exercises lasted till late hour,
and every one was much pleased with all
the features of the celebration.
MosoNIc ORGANIZATION FOR HILTON HEAD.
We learn that it is designed to soon
issue a call for meeting of the Masonic
Fraternity here, to form an open organi-
zation, for better acquaintance and the
more effective carrying out of the charit-
able and other objects of the Order. The
idea seems to be generally approved, and
If it could. be carried out, we believe
would be acceptable to all. We have
several times suggested some form Of
organization, and we believe this Is the
only practicable one at present. As soon
as circunnfapces via admit Se under
stand it is designed to put this plan in
execution. 81 : - -
