General Forrest on the North

General Forrest made a little speech
at the Wills Valley barbecue, on the

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN This is no
ordinary occasion, and l but speak the
honest sentiments of my heart when /

guished Northern friends here to day
l am proud to have them here among
US, and | believe this audience will ex-
tend to them hearty welcome. Ap,
plausc. am not accustomed to spea-
king, and shall say but few words. The
time was, when we met each other on
the battlefield, each party striving to
overthrow the other. But this is all
changed now. and we are once more
friends. This is the beginning of q
prosperous era, and it is the proudest
hour in my life, when l can stand here
and extend the right hand Of fellow,

not dared come among rs ;bul change
is being wrought, and we are becoming
as one people, having a common inter

efforts to develop the resources Of our
country, lam engaged in the work of
building railroad myself and every
man should do what he can to build up
the shattered fortunes Of not only Ala

The rights Of women are recognized
among them more thoroughly than

the husband is obliged to respect the

she loves some onc else better than her

retire.-Their hospitality is such,
moreover, that ifa stranger visits one

Masonic Emblcms.

In 1849 q man was drowned in the
bay of San Francisco. AT the inquest
it was asccrtained that he was a stran
ger, whose name and residence were
unknown, but on his body was found
silver mark of Mason, upon which
upon which was engraved, as suppos-
ed, the initials Of his name. His re
mains was taken charge of by the Ma
sonic fraternity, and were Inferred
with the usual ceremonies and honors
of the order. On u more careful ex
animation of lis body before the hour
appointed for the funeral arrived it i;
said there was revealed the most sin
gular exhibition of Masonic emblems
that were ever drawn by the ingenuity
of nan upon the human skin, and that
there is nothing in the history or ira
dition of Freemasonry equal to it
An account Of it, which we find in oul
exchanges says:
"Beauttully dotted on his left arm
in red and blue ink, which time could
not efface, appeared all the emblems
Of the entered apprenticeship, There
were the Holy Bible, the square and the
compass, the twenty-four inch gauge
and common gavel. There was the
Masonic pavement, representing the
ground floor of King Solomon's Tenn
pie, the indented tcssel which sur
rounds it, and the blazing star in the
center. On his right arm, and artistic
ally executed in the same indellible
liquid, were the emblem pertaining to
the fellow craft degree. viz: the square
the level and the plumb. There were
also the FIVE orders Of architecture
the tuscan dorc, ionic, corinthian, com.
posite. . .
In removing the garments from his
body the trowel presented itself with
all the other TOOLS cooperative mason
ry. Over his heart was the pot of in
ccnse. On the other parts Of his body
was the bee hive, the book of consti
tutions, guarded by the Tyler's SWORD
the sword pointing to naked heart
the All'sceing eye; the anchor and the
ark: the hour glass; the scythe; the
forty. seventh problem Of Euclid; the
sun. moon, stars, and comets; the
sh.ee steps, emblematical Of youth
manhood and age. Admirably execu
ted was the weeping virgin reclining on
a broken column, upon which lay the
book of constitutions. In her left hand
she held the pot of incense. the Ma
sonic emblem of the immortality of the
sonl.
Immediately beneath her stood wing
ed Time, with his scythe by his side,
which cut the brittle thread Of life, and
the hour glass at his feet, which is ever
reminding us that our lives are with
ering away. The withered and atten
uated fingers of the Destroyer were
placed amid the long and gracefully
flowing ringlets of the disconsolate
mourner. Thus was the striking EN-
blems Of mortality beautifully blended
in one pictorial representation, 1t was
spectacle such as Masons never saw
before, and in all probability, such as
the fraternity will never witness again
