Masonic Incident.

At the battle Of Shiloh a brigade, I'M
der command of General Wright, was
drawn up in line of battle to make charge
ON the Federal forces; just before the
charge, wounded officer Was noticed by
the general as lying between his forces
and the enemy, not far from his own
lines The officer seeing his imminent
peril, turned his face to the Confederate
sign of distress. The general, and seve-
raj of his command Who were masons,
recognized it, and five men were at once
detailed, who, under fire from the enemy,
went to the wounded brother and carried
him to place of safety.
The above we take from a masonic ex-
change, and we must here say that we do
not approve of this system of publishing
our benefits. We have refused to do so
since the commencement of this journal,
but have not before given our reasons.
While we acknowledge that it is graft
flying to the Craft at large to know of such
incidents, we hold that the public press
is not the proper way of making it known.
1t looks like an advertisement to the
world for recruits-a thing which is
wholly unmasonic. Such publications do
us an intimate amount of harm by draw
ing to our lodges thousands of merely
mercenary creatures who come in to get
their necks saved and are not worth a
row of pins to any lodge and never care
for the fraternity, unless they get some
great benefit from it. We beg cur ma
sonic contemporaries to ponder this matter
and to try and put a stop to this class of
news ST ,OuiS EroaInaSon

Narrow Guage ROads.-stheir Cost

MEMPHIS, June 4, ISL.


EDITORS APPEAL Other engagements
have prevented an early reply to queries Of
ENQUIRER" addressed to me in the Appeal
of the 1st inst. upon the subject of narrow
gauge railroads. Enquirer asks:
1st. Are they as safe as the five feet gauge
roads, and if so why?
End. viii they carry passengers as COM
fortably as roads of the present gauge, and
what sort of coaches do they have?
3rd. Are they suitable for lines 300 miles
long. or are they only intended for short
lines?
In reply to the first, answer they have
been demonstrated by actual trial to be fully
as safe The Festiniog road i'm Wales, con-
structed through a mountainous country,
employs maximum grades of 10 feet TO the
mile, and sharp reversed curves OF 81 de-
grees while on the five feet gauge. engineers
have seldom ventured to exceed curves of
6 degrees sharpness; by which, we mean
arcs of 6 degrees, or 81 degrees subtended
by chords OF 100 feet. Over this road of
two feet gauge, trains have run thirty miles
per hour, with far less oscillation than upon
the best constructed five feet gauges. This
is due in part to the low driving wheels of
the engine, placing the center of gravity
near the track, but mainly to the peculiar
construction of the engine. 1t consists OF
two boilers, two fire-boXes. four cylinders,
which, with the balance OF the machinery,
water-tank and fuel, are poised exactly
upon the center of two trucks, composed of
four driving wheels each. or eight driving
wheels, so that the tracks being attached to
the engine by mere center pivot, are lett
free to adapt Themselves to the inequalities
of the track without communicating the
motion, except in a slight degree to the en-
CINE itself Such. at least has been the result
of actual trial. So much for the locomotive.
AS regards the safety of the car find the
question so satisfactorily answered in
report OfAlfred +. Sears, Chief Engineer to
the Pvnnsylva and Sodus Bay Railroad
Company. that quote directly from him.
His illustration has reference TO a three feet
gauge, which is considered sufficient for any
possible demand of freight or passenger
business:

1t is the duty of every Mason to be 81
lent on all things that transpire in the
Lodge, that nothing may be known by
the profane. We would admonish all
brethren to be careful of their everyday
walks in life, to let their conduct be such
that it may at all times be initiated, and
in so doing the duty of silence will be in
culcated. We do not like to see a MEM
Der of the Order take every opportunity
that may offer, to impress upon others
that he is a Mason. The institution
teaches silence, and does not send their
members forth to the world to say that
he is Mason; they are not so sadly in
want of new material, as to advertise in
this way for more. A silent tongue, and
listening ear, are admonitions that can
didate first receives, and he should ever
bear it in mind that it should be watch
word through life.-The Landmark.

Among the various traditions OF cir

Among the various traditions OF cir
cumstances that occurred at the building
of Solomon's Temple, is the following i:
During the process of the erection of the
temple, Solomon was in the habit of Wis
iting every part of the building, to in
spect the work, and examine the progress
being made. Upon one occasion, as he
was ascending a ladder of rope, one side
gave way, but just as he was falling, he
was caught by two workmen who hap
pened to be passing, and saved from great
injury, if not from death. These two
workmen were Giblemites, and in graf
itude to them tor the service rendered
him, and perpetuate its remembrance,
Solomon took this class under special pro-
lection, and ordered that in the future he
should be constantly attended by two of
the Giblemites When age, infirmity,
and disease had rendered him unable to
walk alone, two of this favored class at
tended, even to seating him upon his
throne.

Figure l and exhibit the relative sizes
and weight of car at present in use on the
ordinary gauge, and car as il would re-
quire on the three feet guage. The smaller
car is feet outside width, with clear hight
of 61a feet under the cornice and II feet in
the middle. The letters a aud b represent
the base on which the cars stand. i. e. the
distance from out to out of rail, which on
the three feet guage will be 40 inches. so
that for this small car the overhanging is
p inches on a side. To compare the stabil-
ty of cars in the two systems. divide each
car by vertical lines a c and d projected
upward from the outside edge of rail. In
the smaller car the outside sections a and q
weigh each 1850 lbs and the middle section
weighs $500 lbs--that is, if weighs loo
parts of the whole, is 1858, and 100. To
secure this car from overturning, the 100
parts that overhang either side of the rail
are counterbaianced by the remaining 46S
parts, whereas, In the larger car, 100 parts
of OYerhang are secured by only 1874 parts
of cOunterbalance, so that we find our small
guag- car Is the more stable CT the two.
In answer to the second question, there is
no reason why they may not be made fully
as com Portable for seating passengers, but
they will not admit of the comfortable and
commodious arrangements of the palace
sleeping ears that are run nearly empty
over many of our roads. The coaches may
be made in tire same general styles as our
present coaches. with single pivot seat on
a side instead of two.
In answer 20 the third question, give 1t
as the opinion OF many eminent railroad
men that it Is adequate TO the business of
any length OF road. The Denver City and
Santa Fe road. oyer three hundred miles
long, is TO be three feet guage. This guage
is now adopted in Russia, Non way, Sweden
and Queensland after thorough inveseiga-
ton by an imperial commission of able en-
giuneers from Russia, united with engi-
neers from other governments named.

That Word.
From the Mobil,

FROM Lne MODlle Register.
A discussion has been going on in the
Masonic column of the jackson Clarion
concerning the term ''dimit, some parties
contending that dimit is the proper
word. The venerable Geo. III. Gray cites
old Masonic authorities showing that
"demit" has been the recognized form for
full three hudred years. This question
was sprung years ago, in Moore's Maya
zine Boston, the attention of the editor,
as well as we can recollect, being attract
ed by the use of the word in Southern
Grand Lodge reports. 1t would seem
that the expression is not familiar in the
North, and not finding it in the dictionary,
he suggested that "dimit' was the proper
form. The misapprehension lies in con-
founding the transitive term ''dimit lif
there be such a word, J signifying to send
away, with the intransitive "dimit" mean
ing to let 60, retire. The word, we sus-
pect, is used in Scottish legal phraseo-

Eve meet upon the level and part
upon the square" was the subject of a
popular masonic song, written by a
prominent brother not a thousand years
ago. These are words that should fill
every Mason's heart with feelings of
a brotherlY love that should guide his
every impulse and every act, while amid
the busy cares of daily life. These soul
string words should not only actuate us
in the lodge-room, but also when we
meet brother out side the door, and
should also be the source of our dealings

this is laid aside as he passes the door of
the Lodge. 1t is the man that Masonry
accepts, not his outward seeming. En-
Dramatically he is tried by the fire that
separates the gold from the dfoss, and if
found wanting, is thrown aside as materi-
al unfit for use. Every brother should
ever bear in mind that there is still an
other test by which all must be tried be-
fore being admitted to the presence of
our Grand Master above, and his every
act should be in view of meeting this 4.

MASONIC CEREMoNIEs.-It Is a note
worthy fact that the attempts to crush the
society of Freemasons have always pro-
duced reaction in its favor. We have
noticed that the services of Masonic dig
nitaries have been often called for on
public occasions since blanchard COM
'alenced his crusade thereupon. The last
that we notice-is the laying of the fCuns
dation Of an immense bridge over Grand
River in the British province Of Ontario.

The following decision of the Grand
Master of Illinois is well stated: "The
ballot is secret and sacred, and may not
be questioned. Hardships do sometimes
occur under this law, but they only prove
that the use of the black ballot began too
late. Black ballots are worth more than
white ones, and are much less dangerous.
