Am Incident of the war.

Brother Wheeler.-6he following in
cideHt of the late war I know to be true,
and therefore give it you
Bro. S., Colonel of the -reg-
fment, was ordered by General -,
commanding at Memphis, to make a
raid north and east from the city, and
capture or disperse any bands of armed
rebels he might find ; and, also, to des-
troy the houses, ETC., of certain we'll
known citizens, who were reported as
~harhoring the s0-called g~uerrillas. The
latter part of Bro. SIS orders were
well executed until he arrived at the
farm of Bro. , a most excellent
gentleman, against whom threats of
death We're made, if caught.
In a very short time after reaching
the Brothers farm, his barns, stables,
shops etc, were given to the flames,
and a soldier was about to fire a build
ing which would have communicated
the flames to the dwelling honse, when
Miss, q noble young lady, the
Brothers daughter, appeared upon the
scene, and, seeking the Colonel. in
formed him that her father was "a non
combatant, and that her mother lay
dangerously sick i'm the dwelling,
begged him to stop the soldiers from
burning it. The Colonel informed her
of his orders. She then appealed to
him in language known to adaptive Ma
sonny. Bro. S., In a few words,
ascertained that Bro. - was q r.
A. Mason, and the dictates Of common
humanity, as well as his Masonic obi
Cation, caused him instantly to stop the
destruction OF Bro. IS property,
and march his men back to Memphis,
Bro. S. went through the war nm
harmed. Miss il now the wife of
q very worthy Mason, and believes very
much in Masonry. I do not say that
Masonry prevented Bro. s. from
abeying his orders and doing his duty,
but / do say that it caused him to think
of the wanfOn and cruel acthe was e
petrating upon a BROTHERS. family. and
prevented his going to that extreme
that officers under orders 10 DESTROY
property were aptto do. ABRoTHER.

CIRCUMsTANTIAL, EVIDENCE.--The
London " Globe publishes a statement
which is an illustration of the danger of
relying upon circumstantial evidence,
even when it approaches positiyeness.
A gentleman went to the British Mu-
scum with an order to have a case
opened containing some valuble medals
for his inspection. He examined par
tieular medal, which was supposed to be
unique, restored it to the tray, and after
talking some time with the custodian,
was about to leave, when the latter
discovered that the medal was missing.
1t was searched for everywhere, and
could not be found wlleiii was sugges-
that that the pockets Of the visitor
should be examined. To this he, OBJ
jected, and a policeman was sent for.
However, before he arrived, the medal
was found to have slipped between the
tray and the bottom of the case. When
asked why he refused to be searched,
the supposed culprit produced a medal
from his pocket, the exact counterpart
Of that which was in the case, and re-
marked that his object had been to
verify theauthenticity of his own, which,
being identified with the missing one
and discovered in his pocket, would at
once have convicted him of the theft.

THE LETTER aG.a-About the dor
mer of the middle chamber OF SolOmonss
TEMPLE, in plain view of all who en-
ferea, was inscribed the Inefable Name :
and in the place representing the middle
chamber in a MasOn1s lodge, an emblem
is suspended to which the attention of
the initiate is p6sticularly directed, pos
sessing the same symbolic allusion as in
the temples of Edf0u and Solomon.
Thus the symbol is traced back to a
time anterior to that in which Abraham
left the land of Uf of the Chaldees and
journeyed through Egypt, for the Tenn
ple of Edfou was even then an ancient
building. The triangle with a joa in
the center was the original symbol ;
but during the dark ages, when Mason
ry was in the hands of unleftered men.
the explanation of the symbol was lost
or forgotten, and about the time the
English word God came into use, the
letter CT was substituted for The tri-
angle and a new explanation given. Ma
sOnry had fallen into the hands oil, and
for along series 0f years was almost en-
tirely cultivated by, bodies OF travel
ing architects and builders, until It be-
gan to be considered I'm operative assoc
clatl0n. An acquaintance with geoTae4
try is necessary to & thorough knOWi-
edge of architecture, and the letter ~
being the initial 0f geometry, vas exZ
planned as the symbol of that science.
The letter 81 occupies q prominent Dos
siti0n in several oftf9 degrees al tile An
Gent and Accepted Scottish Rite; in
Adoniramite Masonry, and, in fact in
every one of many systems in which
the people Of the sixteenth and seven
teenth eenturieawere so prOfuse I'm man
ufaeturing. Wherever NE find this re-
cOndite symbol in any of the Masonic
rites, it, has the same significance
"A substitute for the Hebraic iOd, The
initial letter of the divine name, and 4
monogram that expressed the n~alereated
being, principal of all things and en-
closed III q tTiangl the unity De God.
We recognize the same letter 81 In the
Syriac G0d, the Swedish Gud. the Ger
man Gott, and the English God-.aN
names of the Deity and al derived from
the Persian Coda, itself derived from
the absolute pr0naIln signifying HIM
self. The Young Craft is fhe represen-
tatiye of d student Of the sciences, and
