Discovery Of Masonic EmbIems.


Some interest has been created in
Sussex county, New Jersey, during the
excavation Tor the Midland railroad by
the discovery of some relics of former
times in the form of two silver Masonic
badges, ornamented with square and
compass, moon and sun, In accordance
with the Masonic emblems of the pres
ent day, which were found five feet be-
low the hard earth excavations of the
Midland railroad. How the badges
ever got there is a mystery, as no hu-
man remains were connected with them,
and the soil is a compact slate Vic
tor III. Drake, of the Newton Herald,
says that it is well known that Masonic
emblems were worn both by the pioneers
and Indians of the country as a means of
self-preservation against the incursion
of Tories and robbers, who in the early
settlement of the country held almost
undisputed sway ON both sides of the
State line The fact is well establish
ed, that as early as 1776, Major Wood,
of Goshen, who was in command of the
Minisink battle, fought opposite the
Lackawaxen, when being overpowered
by the Indians, and taken prisoner,
saved his life by signaling Brandt with
the grand hailing Masonic sign of dis
tress; and Masonic badges were in gen
eral use at the time, both in the Della
ware and Susquehanna valleys, as one
of the measures for protection against
the bloody Indian inctrsions to which
the frontier settlements were at all
times liable.

And you will observe that the table

always on Monday, Valentines time

day always on Wednesday, July 4th al
ways on Thursday, etc. Any person
born after the adoption of this new cal
endar will not only be able to keep the
very day of the month on which his
birth occurred, but also the very day of
the week. And in legal transactions,
witness can safely swear to
the particular day of the

month. A number of other advantages
which the adoption of this new calen-

but, as they will readily suggest them
selves to all business men, I forbear to
trouble you further at this time.

IRON Harpers Magazine for Januaryl
Apropos of the recent elections. the
following is capital, and will be espec-
Tally rellshed by gentlemen who have
been unsuccessful in their aspirations
for Office:
In one OF the towns of PENNSYLVANIA
the freemen had for many years depos-
tied their votes solidly for the Demo
cratic candidates. Such thing as a
Wing or Republican was unknown, and
prior to the Grant and Seymour cam
palgn no local Republican ticket had
ever been run. At that time, however.
the politicians of an adjacent township
thought it an opportllne occasion to at
tempt the establishment, in that town,
of a Republican organization. To this
end they persuaded acertain Mr. Green,
who had recently settled there, to be-
come their candidate for some minor
office, hoping to procure for him few
votes under the popularity of the great
name of Grant, and thus to get an en-
terlng wedge IN the local affairs of the
township.
The day of election arrived, but Mr..
Green was unable to get to the polls by
reason of sickness. In due time the
returns were published, and Mr.. Green
had just one cote. Chagrined at this,
and annoyed by the accusation that he
had voted for himself, he announced
that If the person who had voted for
him would come forward and make
affidavit to the fact he would reward
him with a good suit of clothes. A few
mornings afterward hurley, stupid
looking Pennsylvania Dutchman called
upon Mr. Green and abruptly remark
ed: II wants dat suit of cloes. y
SAh!" said Mr. Green, ssthen you
are the man who voted for me?"
''Yah, I'm dat man."
Are you willing to make an affidavit
of it2n
Yah, / swear to EN-"
Mr.. Green, accompanied by the intel
hgent voter, went to the office of the
Justice of the peace, and the required
affidavit was made; after which the
clothes were purchased and given to the
deponent.
SO delighted was. Mr. Green to be re-
heved from the unpleasantness of his
situation, and so glad to learn that
there was another righteous man in the
township, that he had taken the Dutch
mans Republlcanism as matter of
course. However, at parting, he said
: Now, my friend, you have your suit
OF Clothes just answer me one question
How came you to vote for me 2"
:" You wants to know dat2n
eyes. y
3'And you Won't go back on the
cloes 2"
Ono"
''Vell, said he, slowly, and with
sly twinkle of the eye, eden 1 tole you;
1 makes q naisddke IN de dicket :"
Wasn't that consolatoryl Mr.. Green
avows his unalterable determination
never again to appeal to popular suf-
frage for public position.

DEMAND INcREAsING.-Le no one
who thinks of taking a ticket in the
gift concert of the Boating Club delay
about doing SO, many days. The de-
mand Is now large, and increasing,
large numbers OF orders coming by mail
from Illinois and Iowa, as well as all
over this State. 1t is evident the peo-
pie feel a security in dealing with
such gentlemen of high honor as these
who have this enterprise in hand.
If you live out of town, and no regu-
lar agent for the sale of tickets is near
you, go to the agent of the express
company; if he has not the tickets he is
authorized to order some.

The town of st. Etienne, France, was
a few weeks since greatly excited by
the announcement of the immediate ar
rival of General Cluseret, the red re-
publican leader, whose doiugs in the
south of France had caused great dread
of his operations in that town, The
project waited all night with detach-
ment of National Guards at the railway
station in order to arrest the General
should he appear, but the Swiss-Amer-
lean patriot had chosen another route
from the scene of his recent exploits.

Louis Napoleon on Etiquette.

The recently disentombed imperial
correspondence affords curious record
of the genuine good feeling which in
Napoleon LII, often got the better of
the traditional forms of imperial Ell
quette. This record is in the shape of
minutes, evidently from the Emeeror's
own pen, concerning themode of Queen
Victoria's reception and treatment on
her friendly visit to him In 1856. He
cites Henry VIII S meeting with
Francis L. on the Field of the Cloth of
Gold as a previous example of an Eng
hsh sovereign visiting France, and re-
views the style of the King of Prussia
when Queen Victoria passed through
the Rhenish provinces with her consort
on visit to his birthplace in Coburg.
and also the cooler way in which Mich
olas of Russia was received by the
young Emperor of Austria in 1S53.-
These precedants did not satisfy Napo-
leon as examples; he remarks that
- France, III the matter of courtesy. is
more accustomed to set examples than
to follow them" He decided to 90 on
IN person and meet the Queen at Calais.
where he gave her kiss and a recep-
tloH WHICH, IoCOS9IiIHCu Tile woman as
well as the queen. He also, in his
treatment of Prince Albert, improved
on the rigid formality of the Prussian
court, which, he says, "gave the Queen
Victoria the unpleasantness of seeing
her husband treated as mere Prince
OF the third rank +" "Prince Albert, "
continues Napoleon, "though not king,
Is IN some sort SO in the eyes of the
queen OF England to enhance his rank

Storing Apples.

A correspondent of Laws of Life, who
claims to have had extended expert
enee, is decidedly Of opinion that APP
pies keep far better when put into close
boxes or barrels, and secluded as much
as possible from the air When thus
stored, he says, they will come out in
the spring full and plump as when tax
en- from the trees. Many varieties, as
the Talman Sweet, Spitzenberg, and
those kinds that are not considered
rs long keepers, and shrivel badly, will
do well treated this way [ have, he
continues, found universally that they
keep better to let them lie without
picking over. 1t is much better to
pile them into large bin across the
cellar, say six or seven feet high and
four feet wide, and cover them up
tightly, than to lay them on shelves. L
once saw such bin that a man had
kept through the winter About the
LIST, of April he thought he could open
the windows on the side of the cellar
next the bin, to let in air, that they
might keep better / was at his place
and he called my attention to the fact.
two windows just over the bin were
opened about ten days or two weeks,
and the apples exactly opposite the
windows for about one-third rotted as
much as a foot in depth, and the re-
naming part on either side were not
rOtted at all
