The Real Masonic Grip.

Major James Garrison, lie Roy, New
York, though small man, had a most
powerful grip of hand. Ii was like
smith S wise whenever he chose to exert
his strength. 1t was once in the height
of the anti-Masonic excitement Of 1867
IS that silly anti by the name Of
Smith came to LIE Roy, and sought out
the Major, saying that he had heard that
he 1.-THE Major could give the real Ma
son grip, and that he had come eighty
miles to obtain it. The meeting took
place In the bar room of the village tav-
ern, where as usual, many persons were
congregated, who, knowing the Major S
grip. were on the lookout for fun Hav-
ing, according to the custom of those
days, first took a drink, the Major ex-
tended his right hand, and slightly
grasped that OF Smith.
Are you ready p said the Major.
.'All ready said Smith.
The Major, steadily looking Smith in
the face, began to tighten his grip. Smith
became uneasy and began to vince
Tighter and tighter grew the Majors
grip, and Smith began to beg to be let off.
Why. this is only the entered appren-
tee grip" said the Major Il will give
you the fellow craft, and the Major gave
his hand several more turns, which caused
more groaning and many ludicrious con-
tortions on the part of Smith, who lusti-
ly begged to be let off, said he was salts
fled and did not want any more grips.
The Major, however, was inexorable and
held on to Smith, all the Tina shaking
his hand, and every shake causing
groan.
Now" said the Major, having come
a long way to get the real Mason's grip,
It would be wrong in me to let you go
home without it. Here it is" said the
Major, 1.-THE real Master Mason's grip,
and one you will not soon forget; and
at the same time exerting to his utmost
his great muscular powers. causing the
bones of Smith hand to crack, and the
blood to start FROM under tie finger nails:
Smith. IN the meantime, halloing with
pain.
The Major gave one more turn of the
vice and then released his victim. The
next day. Smith, witE his hand d ne mn
in poultice, started home, entirely sat
is6ed with the Masonic information he
had so painfully obtaine9-a wiser if not
a better man.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Victor Hugo writes to the ladies OF
Germany:
This war is neither war of duty nor
a war of liberty it is simply one of ca
price. Two nations are going to kill
each other for tho amusement Of two
rulers. While thinkers are perfeting
civilization, kings perfect war This one
will be frightful.'
There is good deal of truth in this
but 1t Is only half of the truth. Two ma
tons have gone to war for the amuse-
ment of one ruler; and even that ruler
doesn' seem to be at all amused.
"A Democratic papersays ''the French
are drawing the Prussians away from
their base Of supplies before oyerwhelm-
ing them. What admirable strategy
They are entrapped into Haguenau, In
weighed into Strasburg lured over the
Nosges, tempted into Nancy, enticed into
Metz, beck oned across the Moselle, and
the first the Crown Prince knows he will
be cajoled into accepting McMahon's
sword and Louis Napoleon s sceptre He
is evidently being decoyed along now Just
as the willy Lee used to decoy Grant.
The Madison Democrat gives the
following telling hit on the relative
merits Of French and Prussian armies
1T says that good nalured fellow got off
the following on the French Chassepot
gun last evening: The Prussian needle
gun is safe to recoil greaily-so much so
that it cannot be used effectively The
engagements between the two armies In
question, show that the ''Chassepot' has
kicked the French army from the Saar
lack upon Paris.
The New Yokr Tribune advertises:
Lost, stolen or mislaid, a French
