A Curious Item Of News

A curious item of intelligence reaches us
this morning from Europe by telegraph from
New York. 1t is to tile effect that His Holi-
ness Pope Plus lX. has been formally expel-
led from the Masonic Order by the Grand
Lodge Of Italy. on charges preferred against
him in 1865. The decree of expulsion was
signed by Victor Emanuel, Grand Master of
the Orient of Italy. 1t is stated that immcd;-
ately after attaining his majority he joined
Masonic Lodge in Palermo, Italy, his name
being Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferretti. After
receiving holy orders in 1918, it was ncces-
sary for him to discontinue his relations with
Masonry. The Palermo Lodge to which lie
belonged took action in the matter, We be-
leve, some years since. and now the Grand
Lodge of Italy has added TO the judgment
the fiat OF expulsion. This action was due.
we presume, to the open opposition Ut His
Holiness to the Masonic Order, as expressed
in frequent bulls against it. As the great
head OF the Roman Catholic Church he doubt
less acted conscientiously in opposing Mason
ry, while the Masons of Italy could scarcely
do less than formally sever his connection
with the Ordsr.-ftr1torial Enterprise,

How Gen. Forrest Liked to be >ha VeG.

From the Mobile Register
The civil rights bill may enable the co,ored
gentleman to enjoy all the privileges OF soda
water fountains, ice cream saloons and bill
lard rooms, but we would like to see him
subject his visage to the manipulatioAs of a
white barber. He would find himself in as
dangerous position as Gen. Forrest.
1t is said that Forrest went into q barber
shop on Broadway to be shaved. The COL
orcd gentleman who officiated was voluble
Forrest was in q good humOr, and disposed
to he talkative. AT last it came out that the
gentleman who was being shaved was called
Gen. Forrest, whereupon the colored gentle
man wanted to know if he was having the
honor to shave Gen. Forrest, of the late Con-
federate cavalry. Gen. Forrest mildly as
sented. Whereupon the barber remarked
that he was glad to make the Generals ac-
quaintance, as his brother was soldier in
the federal army. ''Where is your brother ?"
asked the General. He was killed at Fort
Pillow" answered the barber.
Silently and gently as the fall of snow
flake, hut accurately and without hesitation,
the General slid from beneath the razor of
that barber, gained his feet, and with face
bare rs to one side, and lathered as to the
other, remarked, 'YOu can't shave me this
morning." A friend who met him moment
later remarked the singular appearance of his

When Senator BrOvvnlOw Will Join

The in,:mation of the Brownsville iSt"tes,
to the effect that Senator BrOwnlow would
Join the Democracy. having been brought to
tha: gentlemans notice, he calls our atten-
ton to letter written to Jordan Clark, OF
Arkansas, in 1860, announcing when he
would join the Democratic party. The letter
appeared in the Knoxville Whig, and is rs
follows:
KNOXVILLE, Aug. q, 1860.
NH. JORDAN CLARKE: Il have Your letter

know the precise time when expect to come
out and formally announce that l have joined

their inclination to steal when nature stops
her onward course TO rest, or all the water

flowers lose their odor, and trees shed no
leaves: when birds talk, and beasts of burden
laugh; when damned spirits swap hell for
heaven with the angels of light, and pay
them the boot in mean whisky; when impos-
sibilitics are in fashion, and no proposition is
too absurd to bc believed, you may credit the
report that have joined the Democrats!
jain tile Democrats! Never, so long as
there are sects in churches, weeds in gardens,
fleas in llog-pcns dirt in victuals, disputes in
families, war with nations, water in the
ocean, bad men in America, or base women
in France. No. Jordan Clarke, you may
hope, you may congratulate, you may reason,
YOU may sneer but that cannot be-. The
thrones of the Old World, the courts of the
universe, the governments of the world, may

must occur before join tho Democracy!
Ijoin the Democracy. Jordan Clarke, you

is no God; when men turn to ants, and ants
to elephants, will change my political faith
and come out on the side of Democracy!
Supposing that this full and frank letter

should reprobate card-playing as leading to

An important Decision in a Typical
Cl3e.

Among the more obnoxious features Of the
internal revenue. law wien lis weight was
most oppressive was one clause which the
officials interpreted to mean 4 tax upon capi-
tai. MOI only was the sum which man put
into his business taxed. but that which he
borrowed or what was deposited with him.
This tax fell with great severity upon the
bankers and stockholders who turning owe:
large amounts Of money daily. found their
expenses largely increased. They protested
and sent committees to Washington. AS was
done in the recent attempt to renew the I'M
position of \ tax of 1-2O of per cent. ou

illegal, and when finally compelled to pay did
so under protest and began legal proceedings
to recover what they had paid. Joshua f.

on all moneys borrowed for their own use on

about $50. 200. under protest, and then
brought suit in the United States Circuit
Court to recover it, on the ground that it was
not authorized by what was known as the
Bankers and Brokers Act of 1866. The case

AMcCdOtc Of Alexander u0lni ton.

Hamilton was once applied to for profcs-
sional assistance by man of New York city,
who held the guardianship of several orphan
children. These children, then very young,
would, on coming of age, if they had their
rights, succeed to the possession of a large
and valuable estate. In the titlc-dectls OF
this estate the guardian had discovered ma
terial defects, and he thought he saw way,
with the assistance of an able lawyer, hy
which he could secure the title of the proper
ty to himself. lie opened to Hamilton the
whole business, exhibiting the title deeds, and
explaining how he would like to proceed.
And he promised TO the great iurist large
reward if he would undertake the business.
Hamilton said he must give to a matter so
set time for his client to call again.
The guardian called according to appoint
ment. Hamilton had put in writing faithful
minutes of their former conversation, which,
upon his second visit, he read aloud.
81 think" said Hamilton. when he had
flashed reading, ''that is true statement
of your plans:'
''Yes, sir" answered the client. "That is
correct. And now, if may ask, what have
you decided!'
Il will tell you, sir" replied Hamilton,
sternly. You are now completely in my
power, and l consider myself as the future
guardian of these unfortunate orphans. l
have decided that you will settle with them
honOrably, to the very last penny, or will
hunt you from the surface of the earth!''
1t may be unnecessary to add that the false
hearted guardian did not pursue his ncfarious
scheme any further

Our Social Life.

Some people never make acquain,ances,
but shut themselves up from their kind as
does IN oyster in his shell: while others,
and by far the happier, are never at loss
for cheerful companionship. 1t is not hard
to make acquaintances if we set about it in
the right way, but it is useless to hang back
and wait for every door to be epened-we
must push them ourselves. Said a lady to us
the other day, 81 never make acquaintances
in travelling: wish could Said another,
81 get acquainted with everybody. l talk to
the women who sweep fcrry-boats, and to
any person who hapens to sit by me in the
cars. l find every human heart is human,
and that can learn something did not be-
fore from every new acquaintance, or COM
municate information that may be valuable to
her." We are, most of US, too apt to stand
on our dignity and wait for advances from
others; to indulge captious disposition and
criticise where we should commend. The
cultivation of genial, charitable, benevolent
spirit will not inJurc any of us, and will GER
tainly benefit the community in which we
live, and add constantly to the nummber OF
orr friends.

only there that this wave mOtio:. takes place.

turning round Scotland, reaches Norway and

Its velocity of propagation depends upon
the depth of the ocean. 1t is only when the

is rs great rs the revolution of the earth. At
the depth of 1000 fathcms i: travels with the
velocity of $50 miles an hour. and when the
depth is 100 fathoms the velocity is 100

law, which was discovered 10y Russia, is so
reliable that it has been found possible to de-

DR.. Scuddcr remarks: 81 am satisfied that
have seen patients die from deprivation of
common salt during protracted illness. 1t
is a common impression that the food for the
sick should not be seasoned, and whatever
Stop may be given it is almost innocent OF
this essential of life. L.: the milk diet that
recommend in sickness, common salt is used
freely, the milk being boiled and given hot.
And it the patient cannot take the usual
quantity in his food, have given it in his
drink. This matter is so important that 1t
cannot bc repeated too often, or dwelt upon
too long. The most marked example of this
want of common salt have ever noticed has
been in surgical disease, especially in open
wounds. Without supply OF sals the tongue
would become broad, psllid. Pntfy, with q
tenaciors, pasty coat, the sccsetions arrested,
