m The Chattanooga Union saw

s9 The Chattanooga Union says
that Mr.. VIM. Staples, while digging
recently in salt lick on his farm, a
few miles northeast of Kingston,
Tenn, struck solid limestone rock
about seven feet below the surface.
He found in it well about eight
inches in diameter, filled with very
salt water. After the discovery of
the we'll, Mr.. Staples prosecuted his
investigation, and found to his sur
prise a line of salt kettles, or rather
the remains of salt kettles. The
kettles were Of stone ware, made of
the same material as that used by
the. Indians for their house-ware,
such as plates, dishes, &c. The
kettles were broken, but the curva-
ture indicated that they were about
three feet in diameter, and were about
forty in number. A most striking
fact connected with this discovery is,
that these kettles were found at the
depth of seven feet below the surface
of the ground. Growing above them
were trees-poplar and oak, which
were evidently two centuries old.

ST.. LEGER GRENFELL.-The pub
lie was greatly gratified not long
since to learn that his-gallant Eng
lish soldier had escaped from his
prison at the Dry Tortugas, and in
his love Of liberty, at the risk OF life,
he had trusted himself to the mercies
of a frail boat in an attempt to cross
the Florida Straits to Cuba. We
have the pleasure of stating that his
voyage was made in safety, and that
a letter has been received from him
in Havana, sending his thanks and
Acknowledgements for kind treatment
to some Of the army officers at Tor
tugas, and stating that he was just
about to sail for Old England. We
do not doubt that every gentlemanly
officer belonging to the garrison of
his prison guard .rejoices at his
escape.-Mobize Register.

70 The New Orleans Crescent
favors the proposal for holding
general convention of the city and
country press Of the State, preferring
however, that said convention be
held on the 18th, instead of the 4th
of July, as was originally suggested.
The preference manifested by our
respected contemporary is based
upon the fact that the National
Democratic Convention meets in
New York on the 18th, and on the
proceedings of that convention, the
Democratic press must, to a great
extent, rely for guidance as to the
course it is to pursue in the impor-
tant political contest soon to COM
mence. This is reasonable and sat-
isfactory and will doubtless meet with
the concurrence generally Of the
press.
The Crescent moreover naturally
proposes New Orleans as the place of
meeting. We have already signifed

ger, our preference for Baton Rouge
in this connection, but are willing
to leave that point to be decided by

- An Austrian, condemned to
six years hard labor, has made a
curious time-piece, mostly from re-
fuse of his rations of rye bread. The
clock indicates the hours, minutes,
seconds, and the days and months
of the year. The hands are of wood,
and the figures and dial-plate of
straw ; the rest, even to the key, is
made from the crumbs of bread.
The only instrument employed by
the convict was a small pocket

PRoFANE MAsoNs.-The Square
and Compass administers the follow
ing bold rebuke to those who are
guilty Of disgraceful and degrading
The ancient Institutions have
from time immemorial, in all their
charges persistently inculcated, and
rigidly enjoined a becoming rever-
ence for the Author Of our being.
Desecrating the holy name of Deity
either by profanity or by mentioning
it in any other manner than in terms
of "reverential ave." is EXPRESSLY
forbidden by Masonic law. And in
order that the injunction may be
more faithfully observed, certain pen
alties are attached to its violation
But as in every other form Of human
government, where statutory enact
ments become dead lumber, the nom
enforcement of the penalties thus in
Cured has invited a repetition of the
ofense, and thereby rendered the
prohibition dead letter in Masonic
Legislation. Were the, laws fully
carried out; did speedy and condign
punishment follow their infraction,
the eyes of true Masons would not
be blighted at the sight Of a swear
ing Mason, nor their hearing out
ragged with his profanity. A swear
ing Mason J. What a misnomer |!
Vice and virtue, sacrilege and piety
are equally consistent. In the "true
purport and intent" of legitimate
Masonry the terms are incompatible.
The inconsistency exhibited by a
Mason Of this type is too palpable to
be passed unrebuked. If such a
mans moral perceptions Of right and
wrong have not become utterly stulti-
fed, if a long and unremitting per-
sistence in course Of profanity has
not rendered his conscience invul-
nerable to reproof Or expostulation,
he cannot help but see and feel that
such conduct is Of the most heinous
and aggravated character conceivai
BILE. How can he dare to claim the
least privilege appertaining to Ma
sorry, while he is endeavoring to
undermine the principles upon WHICH
it is based! How can he have the
effrontery TO recommend its claims
to all the world, while he is violating
its most cherished precepts with i'm
purity, thus bringing stigma upon
the Order.
