South Carolina.

We are pleased to see the spirit of en-
ergy and progress that now characterizes
the movements of the farmers and plant
ers of South Carolina. An agricultural
convention is to be keld at Columbia
daring the month, and a State agricultural
society is to be organized at an early day.
The press of our sister State,w with their
usual ability, and their unwavering tideli-
ty to the great interests of the people,
are doing splendid service in arousing the
farmers to the importance Of thorough
organization and determinations to adopt
a system of agriculture in keeping with
their altered condition. 1t seems hard
faS many of our planters to realize that
the old system of farming that once pre-
vailed in the South must be abandoned if
they would win success. Labor being
scarce and unreliable, we must cultivate
less land and cultivate it better. Thor
augh cultivation, liberal manuring and
the use of labor-saving machinery will do
mach tawards removing the many obsta-

Remarkable Masonic Incident.

The first Masonic funeral that ever oc-
Cured 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 cere-
monies states that on the body Of the de-
ceased was found silver mark of a ma
son, upon which we're engraved the ini-
tials of his name A little further inves
tigation revealed to the beholder the most
singular exhibition of Masonic emblems
that were ever drawn by the ingenuity of
man upon the human skin. There is no.
thing 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 eface, appeared all the
emblems of the entire apprenticeship.
There were the Holy Bible, the square
and the compass, the twenty four inch
guage, and the common gavi. There
were also the Mosaic pavement, represent
ing the ground floor OF King Solomon's
Temple, the indented tessel which sur
rounds it, and tho blazing star in the cen
tire. On his right arm, and artistically
executed in the same indelible liquid, were
the enblems pertaining to 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, corinthlan, COM
posite. -.
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
beehive, the book of constitutions, guard
ed by the tyler's sword the sword point
ing to a naked heart; the Allseeing eye ;
the anchor and ark, the hour glass, the
scythe, the forty-seventh problem of Eu-
cid the sun, moon, stars and comets
the three steps, emblematical OF youth,
manhood, and age. Admirably executed
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 Masonic en-
blem of pure heart, and in her uplifted
hand, sprig of Acacia, the emblem OF
the 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 and attenuated fingers OF
the Destroyer were placed amid the long
and gracefully flowing ringlets of the dis
consulate mourner Thus were the stri-
king emblems of mortality and immortal,
ity 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. The brothers name
was never known.

cles that now check our progress in the
great work of recuperation.
We hope our South Carolina friends
will resolve to do their work thoroughly.
There is no reason, to our mind, why eve
ry acre cultivated in cotton should not be
made to produce two bales of five hun
dred pounds each. We expect to see the
day when three bales per acre will not be
considered remarkable yield. But to
accomplish these results we must adopt a
new system. With fewer hands, fewer
acres, more manure and better cultivation,
we shall soon be enabled to make farming
profitable.
The press of South Carolina with its
eagle eyes, sees that agriculture forms the
basis of our future prosperity, and it is
success and profit to all concerned.
We bid our South Carolina friends god
speed in their noble work. When we
bring our lands up to their maximum pro-
duction we will be independent, and can
dictate terms to even the naughty and
powerful North Wilmington Star.

The litigation in reference to the fore
closure of the mortgage, together with
that commenced by the guaranteed bond
holders for their own protection, and al
so by the Attorney-General tor the pro.
lection of the State, remains unchanged
since your last annual meeting. It is
hoped that the parties who commenced
the suit, will see that it is to their inter.
est las it certainly is) to withdraw it, and
accept the terms of the Company for the
removal of their bonds, and thereby aid
them in the re-adjustment of all their
past due debt This course would relieve
all the parties of much annoyance and be
to the interest Of all concerned, because
when that is done, and it is evident that
tho Company will be able to continue the
payment of their interest promptly as it
natures, which is certainly now clearly
demonstrated. The guaranteed bonds
will advance in market to price much
above the first mortgage bonds, which
have not been exchanged. -.
1t affords me much pleasure to testify
again to the general good department
and efficiency Of the officers and employ
ees of the Company in their several de-
partments, and to commend them to your
confidence and respect.

Cost of Road and property
over capital stock paid in. 81, ,65l ,433 20
To provide for the difference between the
cost of the Road and the capital stock paid
in, the Company issued their bonds, bear
ing date from January, 1852, to March,
1854, respectively, having ten years to
run, for SSOO,OOO; and in order to give
them higher market value, on the 18th
January, 1854, they executed to Charles
NJ. Furman, as trustee, a mortgage upon
their entire property to secure their pay
ment. They subsequently issued their
bonds, bearing date July, 1855, and July,
1858, respectively, also having ten years
to run, for 100000. There was no mort
gage or other lien executed to secure the
payment of this latter class Of bonds. BY
this it will be seen that the original
bonded debt of the Company contracted
exclusively in building the Road was
81, O,OO0. There was, however, float
ing debt then due by the Company, which
was not funded.
In January, 1861, when the bonds &C.
cured by mortgage were approaching ma
turlty, the Company applied to the Legs
lature for aid, and on the 2Sth day of
January, 1861, an Act was ratified direc-
ting the endorsement of the guarantee of
the State upon the bonds of the Company
to the amount of 5000, 900. providing that
the bonds so guaranteed should be used
for no other purpose than for funding a
floating debt of the Company, thon due,
of 100000, and for taking up and reti-
ring the 100000 of bonds secured by
mortgage then approaching maturity.
The Company commenced at once to re-
adjust their mortgage debt in accordance
with the provisions of the Act; and there
can be no doubt but that they would have
succeeded without difficulty but for the
war, and the confusion and suspension of
all kinds of business caused by it.
At the end of the war, they found their
mortgage debt only partly re-adjusted,
their debt outside the mortgage rapidly

GALVANIZED IRON PRB.-As our citizens
win soon begin to pipe their dwellings for the
introduction of Sebago water and there must
be considerable of this business done during
the Spring and Summer, we deem it duty to
publish below letter from DR.. jackson, State
Assayer Of Massachusetts, in reply to note
addressed to him inquiring g whether galvan-
lied iron pipe is suitable for conducting water
for drinking purposes" The following is his
reply:
Boston, Feb. 4, 1869.
Gentlenaen,-In reply to your note of this
day, asking my ''opinfon of the merits of Gal
vanized Iron Pipes for Water Conduits," I
would say that the iron is protected bv the
more ready oxidation of the zinc. and that the
oxide OF zinc is largely dissolved by water, rem
dering it unwholesome. In several instances
have detected large proportions of oxide of
zinc in water that has remained over night in
Galvanized Iron Pipes, and in one instance, a
gentleman who brought me such water said it
produced in him much nausea. The water an
alyzed was found to be highly charged with
oxide of zinc. 1t is well known that when
uncovered roofs were first introduced in
Boston, and rain water from them was used
for washing, that the washer women complain
ed that the water made the skin of their hands
crack, and that the rain water from zinz roofs
was hard and deccmposed the SOAP It is also
known that the French Government bas re-
Gently forbidden the use of Galvanized Iron
Water Tanks in their ships of war, on account
of the injurious effect of the dissolved zinc on
the health of the men. All this shows tibet
Galvanized Iron Pipe is not suitable for Water
ConGuits.
Respectfully, your obi. Servt.,

State Assayer.

The Pennington Chronicle says on Satur-
day last the dry and fancy goods store of Rev.
W. Wyman in that town was set on fire by
the explosion of kerosene lamp Mr.. W.
was engaged in vanishing and cleaning up
about the store preparatory to the spring open
ing, and it being rather dark, he lighted a
lamp which had not been used for nearly two
months. 1t instantly exploded, throwing the
burning oil around the store and over the
goods, which were instantly in a blaze, A
piece of glass struck Mr.. W. in the forehead
cutting Though his hat and making a wound
four inches in length. His hands were also
cut by the flying bits of glass, yet it was al
most miracle that he escaped with compare
lively SO little injury. The goods were insured
for $1,000, which we learn will not cover the
loss.
The Chronicle says the father of Mr. M.
Woo0man, of Pennington Fall, " years of
ace. met with painful accident, last Satur-
day. while at work in his sons factory. While
saving board, his hand came in contact
with the circular saw which he was using, and
the fingers taken entirely of, leaving them
side by side on the platform. Dr. Dyer was
Immediately called, who dressed the wound
amputating them at the knuckle joint. we
learn that he is doing nicely.
