The first Masonic funeral that ever
occurred in California, took place in
the year 1S49, and was performed
over the body of brother found
drowned in the bay of San Francisco.
An account of the ceremonies states
that on the body of the deceased was
found silver mark of o Mason, upon
which were engraved the initials of
his name. A little further investi>
CATION revealed to the beholder the
most singular exhibition of Masonic
emblems that was ever drawn by
the ingenuity of man upon the hu-
man skin. There is nothing in the
history or traditions of FreemasOnry
equal to it. Beautifully dotted on
the left arm, in red and blue ink,
which time could not etface, appear
ed all the emblems OF the entered
apprenticeship. There were the Holy
Bible, the square and the compass,
the twenty-tour inch guage and
common gavel. There was also the
Masonic pavement, representing the
ground floor of King Solomons
Temple, the intended tessel which
surrounds it, and the blazing star in
the center. On his right arm and
artistically executed in the same in
delible liquid, were the embIems per-
tanning to the fellow craft degree,
viz: the square, the level and the
plumb. There were also the five
orders of architecture-the tuscan,
doric, ionic corinthian, composite.
In removing the garments from
his body, the trowel presented itself,
with all the other tools of operative
masonry. Over his heart was the
pot of incense. On the other parts
of his body were the bee hive, the
book of constitutions, guarded by the
Tyler's sword the sN ord pointing to
the naked heart the AIl-seeing eye );
the anchor and ark, the hour glass,
the scythe, the forty-seventh prob
lem of Euclid the sun, moon, stars
and comets three steps emblematic-
al of youth, manhood and age, Ad-
mirably executed was the weeping
virgin, reclining on broken column,
upon which lay the book of constitu
tons In her left hand she held the
pot of incense, the Masonic emblem
of Immortality OF the soul.
Immediately beneath, her stood
winged Time, with his scythe by his
side, which cuts the brittle thread of
life, and the hour-glass at his feet,
which is ever reminding US that our
lives are whitening away. The
withered aud attenuated fingers of
the Destroyer were placed amid the
long and flowing ringiets of the dis
COZ solate mourner. Thus were the
striking emblems of mortality beau
beautifully blended in onepictorialrep

A New School Of Southern Politicians.
lsouthern Correspondence New York World

There is new school of politicians
rising IN the South, fully as bitter.
but greatly more plant. These are
mostly young men, and the events of
the day are giving them a stern and
nard education the country will vet
feel. On all points connected with
the past, this new school sits at the
feet OF the old. On the abstraet
right or secession, on the beauty of
State sovereignty and" what the war
was for" the young men of the South
still listen with pleasure to the elders.
It is only whea coming to the oues-
ton, what is to be done p that q
divergence appears. Here the old
school has but little TO propose. It
can be eloquent on the past, but
when brought face to face with the
future, permits ndignation to obscure
it's judgement and paralyze it's abili,
ty. The new school is more practi-
cal and more cool. 1t never troubles
its. brain about reassertion of the
secession idea, its interest in any dis
cussion of the subject apparently be-
ginning and ending with a justiGea-
ton of the abstract rightfulness of
the doctrine, it would not have the ne
groes returned into slavery in any
condition; it tavors immigration, it
believes in railways, direct trade and
internal improvements and, above all,
it.hates the radical party with con-
centration of cnmity that few 10 the
North, save Wendell Philips, and oc-
casionally the late Mr.. Raymond,
seems to have fathomed. Some of
the leaders of this new school might
mention, but they are not at present
men of any extended repute outside
of their several States, and the ideas
they entertain lack that cohesion
which would make them of decided
Importance just now.

gThe Spaniards are taking the
first lessons in Professionalism
they have been able to get since
heresy was burned out of the Pen
insula. The .Protestants are active
in establishing places OF worship
there and distributing Bibles and
the Liberal Government is protect
ing them in a way that shows that
the religious freedom proclaimed in
the Constitution is not sham. u
the Spanish countries of this contin,
ent Professionalism has also begun to
appear. We hear of it's spread in
several parts of Mexico; and the
Chill correspondent Of the New
York Times has given an account
Of an event of great significance"
that has taken place il Santiago, to-
wit the opening Of a Spanish Pro-
testant church. He Says it signifies
the ''fnal triumph Of p principle, !"
and that it "may now be known alb
road that religious freedom IS the
recognized law and practice Of
Chilli" These are indeed remarkable
signs. In the sixteenth century the
Reformation made great progress
among the Spaniards, but t could
not exist before the terrible persecu-
tons carried Oh by the Church and
state. Now there is freedom for the
Spanish race on both continents.
