MammOn.

We observe a statement In the.
Northern papers that $4,000
of church funds have been loaned
for speculative purposes in Wall
street, and that several churches
are mortgaged for the same pur-
pose.
We accept this statement as
true and merely allude to it for
the purpose of showing how near
ly crazy are the Northern people
on the subject of money and spec.
ulation.
The operations of Wall street,
though made respectable by their
magnitude, do not differ materi-
ally from investments in lotteries
or gambling with cards. And yet
we find that church funds are con-
tributed to swell the tide Of cor.
ruption that has already given
Wall street reputation that the
power of money alone can counter.
balance.
We do not question even the
moral right of a church to derive
an income from it's surplus capital;
but otinvest it in the interests Of
the stock-gamblers of Wall street
is certainly matter of doubtful
propriety. 1t proves conclusively
that every interest at the North
even the churches-has it's vota-
ries bowling st the shrine of Mann
mon; and that mono Of them
are exempt from the corrupting
influences of Wall street.
When we realize that a building
consecrated to the worship Of the
living God is mortgaged for the
purpose of raising money to be
used in speculation CHATS what
they call it), We can see to what q
point of degradation our country
has sunk in its religion and its
morals.
It is a consolation, however, to
know that the free-love, free-think.
ing, free speculation dogmas 80
characteristic Of some Of the North
ern religionists have not yet raised
their hydra form on our Southern
churches. Let the Northern
churches convert their pulpits into
hustings, and their charity funds
into Wall street stoekjobbing
fund, if they will. But God grant
| that our own Southern land may
never become the victim of the
"money-changers." - Wilmingson

But such is the contempt usually
felt for the traitor that he is gen.
orally awarded his recompense in
gold, and is seldom elevated to a
lucrative place or honorable Office.
Arnold was one of the exceptions
to this rule; but Notwithstanding
the rank conferred upon him, he
was universally abhorred by the
people to whom he sought to
render such invaluable service.
But the radical party in this coun'
try, having no nice scruples about
the means by which it attains its
end, make little distinction be-
tween dirty and honorable work.
It confers upon the spy and the
traitor the same kind of reward
that it gives to the gallant soldier.
AS if to encourage others to
emulate her infamy. 1t has just ap-
pointed one Mrs. Van Lew to be
postmistress at Richmond. This
important position has been be-
slowed upon her in consideration
of her betrayal to the people of
that city when General Grant was
before it. She was entitled to
blood money for her base treachery,
but it is indecent and scan
dalous to the last degree that such
person should be elevated
TO high and responsible Office.
All other considerations apart, the
public interests demand that the
Government agents should be
selected for some other reason
than their completely with treach-

GEORGE D. PRENTIcE.-Hodge-
son, of the Montgomery Mail: who
is on the wing, in a letter from
Louisville, thus draws a pen pic
ture of what times wear and tear
has left of the once gifted and
brilliant George D. Prentice. The
writer says:
Yesterday I had an interview with
Mr.. Prentice. He is not the man
he was ten years ago. Indeed bis
genius is gone, and his person is
a mere wreck. His family is
broken up-wife dead, one son
killed on the Confederate side,
another settled on a farm down
the river-and the old man, YER
ging on three score and ten, cooks
his breakfast and dinner in his
little room on the third floor of
the Courier building, and lives
only in conversation about the
past. This man once welded an
imperial power with his wit and
and his music. Now the world
has whirled past him, and he lies
one the shore a mere stranded
wreck, just as we will all lie if we
should reach three score years
through a revolution. Such is life!
To-day an emperor, tomorrow a
cypher.

A Vineyard on Every Farm

n n1ASy oAo SAA
Some day in the future the
art and practice of wine making
will be as familiar and universal
among US as the manufacture Of
cider is now. And the juice of
of the grape, properly prepared, is
greatly superior to that of the ap-
pie in health and strength giving
elements. 1t is an easy matter
for majority Of farmers to provide
ample supplies of wine for their
household use, at a comparatively
tri1ing cost. A half acre in each
hundred of ofcultivated land set with
vines of ofhardy varieties would be
sufficient, if well cared for, to fur
nish both fruit and wine for the
number of people occupying, on
the average, that area. Doubtless
there are limited regions in our
country where grapes would not
succeed: but the area is vast where
they would thrive to sufficient
degree to make the growing OF
them for family use satisfactory !;
although it might be far from pro-
6table to raise them for market.
In any neighborhood or lacality
where a solitary vine does we'll, it
is certain that enough others will
thrive to supply the wants of the
population. By such universal
planting only can we hope to see
the rural population Of our land
supplied with fruit and wine; for
the products of the favored grape
regions, where the culture is car
.ried on extensively, will be mostly
absorbed by cities. Let every
farmer have his vineyard as we'll as
his orchard, not planted with a
view to selling it's products, but
to consuming them in his own
family. 1t is pretty safe to assert
that where apple trees will flourish,
some variety of grapes will do
tolerably we'll alongside of them.
The manufacture of wine for home
use should be conducted almost
precisely like that of cider. Have
the fruit ripe and clean mash it
and press out the juice with care:
let it ferment a few days, like good
cider, then rack it, and cleanse the
casks and refill them; bung tight
and rack again early in the Spring.
and the third time on the approach
of hot weather, have sound, sweet
casks, keep them full, and store in
a clean, cool cellar, and your oeV-
erage will excel in grateful flavor
and healthful, exhilarating effects,
when the hard labor and hot suns
of Summer tempt it's trial. 1t is
as easy and simple to make good
wine as good cider. The yield Of
wine will probably average four

Remarkable Masonic Incl
dent.

AS4A0I h0O1S AVA oSSAAS 2AS~
dent.
The first Masonic funeral that
ever occurred in California took
place in the year 1849, and was
performed over the body of a
brother found drowned in the bay
of San Francisco. An account Of
the ceremonies states that on the
body of the deceased was found a
silver mark of Mason, upon
which were engraved the initials
of his name. A little further in
vestigation revealed to the beholder
the most singular exhibition of Ma
sonic emflems that was ever drawn
by the ingenuity Of man upon the
human skin. There is nothing in
the history or traditions of Free
masonry equal to it. Beautifully
dotted ON his left arm, in red or
blue ink, which time could not
efface, appeared all the emblems
of the entire apprenticeship
There were the Holy Bible, the
square and the compass, the twen-
ty-four inch guage, and the COM
mon gavil. There were also the
Masonic pavement. representing
the ground floor Of King solomon's
Temple; the intended tessel which
surrounds it, and the blazing star
in the centre. On his right arm,
and artistically executed in the
same indelible liquid were the en-
blems pertainingto the fellow craft
degree, viz: the square, the level
and the plumb. There were also
the FIVE columns representing the
FIVE orders Of architecture-the
tuscan, doric, ionic, corinthian,
composite.
In removing the garments from
bis body, the trowel presented it.
self with all the other tools of op-
erative 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 sword pointing to a naked
heart; the All-seelng eye; the an
chor and ark, the hour glass, the
scythe, the forty-seventh problem
of Euclid; the sun, moon, stars
and comets; the three steps en-
blematical of youth, manhood and
age. Admirably executed was
the weeping virgin, reclining on
q broken column, upon which lay
the book of constitutions. In her
left hand she held the pot of in
cense, the Masonic emblem of a
pure heart, and in her uplifted
hand a sprig Acacia, the emblem
of the Immortality of the soul.
Immediately beneath her stood
winged limo, with his scytLe by
his side, which cuts the brittle
thread of life, and tho hour glass
at his feet, which is severreminding
US that our lives are withering
away. The withered and attenu-
ated fingers of the Destroyer were
placed amid the long and graceful.
ly flowing ringlets of the discon-
solate mourner. Thus were the
striking emblems of mortality and
Immortality beautifully blended in
one pictorial representation. 1t
was a spectacle such as Masons
never saw before, and, in all proba-
bility, such as the fraternity will
never witness again. The brothers
name was never known.

MILFoRp, Oct. 2Olh.-The weather this week
has been quite cold for so early in the fall. The
farmers arc now busily engaged In housing their
corn crop. Our merchants have been receiving
their fall stock of goods, and are now awaiting q
revival OF business to dispose OF them.
The two commissioners and some of our Mcr-
chants are having quite controversy as to the
right OF the latter to display their goods in front
ui their stores. The question will be brought he
fore the County Court next week for final setllu-
ment. The merchants contend that they have
right to display their wares upon the
racks III part OF their stores. The Commissioners
have forbid them doing SO except upon the front
Of their stores, 10 other words they order that all
goods displayed must be against their store fronts
Last night some thiei forced an entrance Into
the bar-ro0m of the Milford Hotel, broke open
