To CHRYsTA1IzE FLOWERS. s.-Construct
some baskets Of fancy form with pliable
copper wire and wrap them with gauze.
Into these tie to the bottoms violets,
ferns. geranium leaves-in fact, any
flowers except full.blown roses-and
sink them in solution of alum, of one
pound to gallon of water, after the
solution has cooled. The colors will
then be preserved in their original beau
ty, and the crystalized alum will hold
faster than when from hot solution.
When you have light covering of crys-
tails that completely covers the articles
remove the basket carefully, and allow
to drip for twelve hours. These baskets
make beautiful parlor ornament, and
for long time preserve the freshness of
the howers.-Jour1aal Of Chan,istry.

ANCIENT MASONIC RELIC. Tho Union
Kilwinning Lodge, of this city, origi.
nally organized by Scotshmen. has been
presented, through Douglas Nisbet,
Esq, brother Mason, with an iron
mallet which had been used in the erec-
tion OF the Abbey of Dundrennan. found
ed in 1142, in the Stewartry of Kirkund-
bright, Scotland. The valuable memo
rial of the very distant past came from
James Cranstoun, P. NJ. Al S. G.. w.
XXI. s. r. I. G.. W.; 400 G.. l.. of Scot
land. A photograph of the ruins of the
Abbey, which it had aided in erecting,
accompanied the mallet; also note Civ
ing its history.
The Union Kilwinning Lodge made
suitable Acknowledgements ut meeting
recently held, and ordered them to be
transmitted to Brother Cranstoun, and
to the Grand Lodge of Scotland. We
would take the liberty of suggesting to
the lodge owning the precious heirloom,
to place it. somewhere so that it can be-
seen, for it can but excite deep interest,
and not with Masons alone

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs. The next ses-
sion of the Supreme Lodge will be held
at Neale's Hall, in Baltimore, on Tues
day, April 16. The Supreme Lodge is
composed of the Past Grand Chancellors
Of the several jurisdictions, though. by
the action of the body ut it's last session,
the right to speak and vote is confined
to two Supreme Representatives from
each Grand Jurisdiction.
The Knights of Pythias of Maryland
have made suitable preparations for the
reception, and the subordinate lodges
will make grand parade in the new
uniform lately adopted. They will be
joined by delegations from Pcnnsylva-
MIA, Virginia, Delaware, the District OF
Columbia, and other States. AS this
will be the first demonstration of the
order, every effort will be made to render
it success.
The first lodge of tue knights Of Py-
thias was organized in Washington city,
by gentleman named J. II. Knthbone,
on the 10Th of February, 1864. For u
few years. the prospects Of the order
we're slow; but new lodges were insti-
tuted from time to time, and in April
1868, delegates in provisional assem-
blage formed Supreme Lodge, which
met for the first time on August IL,
1868, and became fully organized by the
adoption Of constitution and bylaws
and the election of grand officers.
The statistics of the order show mar
vellous increase in membership and
wealth. There are now thirty-nine ju-
risdictions, twenty-eight grand lodges,
$50 subordinate lodges, and 100000
members in the United States alone. It
has spread into every Slate and Territory
of our country, except two. The whole
order is controlled by the Supreme
Lodge of the world, which has csta-
blished branches OF the organization or
has under consideration applications for
snch establishment in Canada, the Sand
wich Islands, Germany, Italy, Spain,
England and Australia.
Tho delegates from the order in South
Carolina will be, wo understand, Angus

THR CIRCUIT Court AT A STAND STILL
-THE kU KhUx CASES IN PREPARATION.
In tha United States Court, yesterday,
but very little business was transacted,
and, in fact. this court appears to have
come to stand.still in consequence of
the nop.arrival OF Judge Bond, who was
expected to arrive on Monday night, to
preside over the approaching trials Of
the Ku Klux cases. By curious con-
f1iot OF dates in the law relating to the
holding OF United States Courts, term
OF the United States Circuit Court is
ordered to be held at Richmond, Vir-
ginia, beginning on the first Monday of
April in each year, and term Of the
United States Circuit Court, presided
over by the same Judge, in also ordered
to be begun at Charleston, s. G., on the
first Monday of April in each year.
Under these circumstances Judge Bond
has the option of which court he shall
hold first, and it seems that be has
chosen to begin at Richmond. He ex-
pected, however, to be able to complete
tue most important business before the
court ut Ri ,hmond during the first week
of the first term, and then come to

been obliged to change this programme,
and the date Of his arrival here is now a
matter Of some uncertainty.
In the meantime, Judge Bryan, who
has been holding the Circuit Court here
since the 1st instant, has disposed of all
the cases on the docket, with the excep-
ton OF the Ku Klux cases, and there is
now but little for the court to do until
the arrival of the Circuit Judge. Dis
trict Attorney Corbin and his assistant,
Mr.. Earle, are industriously engaged in
preliminary examinations Of witnesses,
(and, by tho way, are permitting an in
toerable nuisance by keeping crowd
OF ill-conditioncd and ill-manncred
negro witnesses waiting on the side walk
in front Of their Office, on Meeting
street, and in preparing their cases for
presentation to the grand jury. It is
understood that very large number of
cases are in preparation, and that most
of tho persons snid to bo implicated
have already been arrested. Among the
counsel who are expected to defend these
defendants are Colonel T. W. McMaster,
Of Columbia, and Messrs. Bust e. Buist,
PRESLEY, Lord & Inglesby and Simonton

South CAnoLINA.- following is an
extract from private letter dated Spar.
tanburg, S. c., received in New York by
mercantile firm OF that city from q
South Carolina correspondent. and pub
lished by the Journal of Comnaerce:
business is very dull hero at present.
The country is in euch disturbed state
now there is nothing doing. The de-
putty United States officers with troops
of soldiers are scouting the country day
and night, arrcsting men everywhere.
They are bringing old men, some of
them of eighty and ninety years, some
even on orutches, and lodging them in
Jail. Some of these old mon, I feel
satisfied, have not been away from their
homes night for ten or twenty years.
Hundreds are leaving the country, be-
cause no man knows whose turn may
come next The officers will take per-
fectly innocent men, and throw them
into prison for length of time without
prefcrring charges against them, and ex-
tort money of them and then turn them
loose. We have perfect reign of terror
here. Troops nre under arms and gal-
Looping in every direction. This region
was never. in fact, more quiet and
peacoable than it is now. Money and
politics seem to be the objects of the
raid. You will scarcely see citizen
passing in the streets; and as for crope,
thoro will be very little made this year,
if this thing goes on auy longer. I am
told these fellows get fifty dollars for
each arrest, which reward seems to be
the great motive power. I saw them
bring in some old men today, who
could hardly walk. hope you gentle-
mon will be as lcnient as possible. I
have n good deal of money out, which 1
cannot collect ut present."

AN ASTONISHING ExHmr.-In the de.

AN ASTONISHING EXHIBIT. the de.
bate on the army appropriation bill In
the House Of Representatives on Friday,
Mr. Book, of Kentucky, stated and pro-
duoed the figures in detail which proved
that the Quartermastef's Bureau had
expended over 800. 600, 600. and the
Ordnance Bureau over $17, 900, 900, in
excess OF the appropriations made for
them by Congress since July I, 1866.
The Secretary OF War, in answer to the
resolution OF the House calling for an
account of these sums, stated that they
had been spent ''to pay the debts OF the
various bureaus" without any attempt
whatever to show the expenditure in de-
tail or even its character. The Seoretn-
ry'a statement further shows that the
total amount received by the Depart
ment since June 80, 1866, in excess of
its appropriations by Congress, was the
sum Of $l07, 959, ,416. 81. All of this has
been used except $4,000. 600. 1t has
been stock boast of the defenders of
the Administration to show how the ex-
penses of the army have been reduced,
and to refer to the congressional appro-
priation bills for the figures of expendi-
ture. The Secretary OF War now shows
that the actual expenditures have exceed
ed these appropriations in seven years by
nearly Sl06, ,00O.0 900. Not only is there
no account whatever rendered to Con-
gross of this enormous expenditure, but
Mr.. Beck procures evidence which justi-
ties him in charging that great sums
have gone to agents and lobbyists Of the
Department and have been paid out in
the Southern States to keep men loyal.
MIR. Beck is not man who makes
charges loosely. Perhaps at some future
time the particulars of these expendi-
lures of over 500. 900, 600 may be fer
roted out for the instruction of the coun.

The danger Of extremes is illustrated
by the jury system. While we are pass
ing laws to remove the hitherto neces-
sary Ignorance OF the average juror,
Austria is lamenting his over much
knowledge. The minister of justice has
brought in bill to suspend the whole
system, because every trial is made a
political question, and the jury study
the subject in that light with pretcrnatn-
raj sharpness, and return their verdicts
in accordance with their political sym
pathies, and with lofty disregard for
evidence and law. Chicago Tribune.
That's the way verdicts arc made up
in too many of the Federal courts in this
country.

ANTIOCH. recent destruction of a
great portion Of this ancient city, by an
earthquake. recalls many events in tho
distant past, of which, when in its
glory, it was the theatre. Antioch was
founded 800 years before Christ, and
was the first place in which His followers
took tho name Of Christians. It was
once great city, and the object of
peculiar solicitudo to tho. Apostles.
From 100000 Inhabitants, and truly
oriental in its magniiicencc, it has
dwindlcd down to n small and insignifi-
cant city of 10000, and its grand temples
to tho Most High have all, without ex-
ception, given way for the mosques of
Mahomet Its inhabitants are poor,
and deal chiefly in silk, goats hair and
salted ecls, which constitute their only
articles Of export, and in no great
quantity at that. Still, tho whole
Christian world loves the i-'re Of Anti
och from it's hallowed associations, and
will be touched with q feeling of real
pity for the great calamity that has
fallen upon her. She has often been
desolatcd by earthquakes, which was one
OF the chief causes of her decline.

struck the hammer, which discharged
tho whole load into his throat, killing
him instantly. His geniality and vi
vacity, together with the impulses of n
generous and trnc heart, had won for
him many warm friends and admirers
