ABOUT PENIS VII MA.

As pennsylvania goes SO goes the
Union,' has long been the cry, but
Ohio now plumes herself that it is
a cry that will be heard no more and
and that to her has been relegated
the important trust Of settling in De-
tober the issue of the general cam
paign. Still the Ohio papers are
willing to concede some weight to
the action Of Pennsylvania, and the
Cincinnati Commercial has sent
special over the late "banner State =
to report upon the political situation.
He writes that the Ohio election has
opened the eyes of the Democratic
leaders in Pennsylvania so wide that
they will never again be blinded by
the dust of the in6ationists. The
only trouble is tina the republican
majority in Ohio is scarcely large
enough to flatten out the rag-money
men. Congressman Kelley will re-
bound from it like a rubber ball, and
in few days his peculiar theories
about the expansion of the currency
viii be as elastic as ever. The infia-
ton theory has been mortally in
jured in Ohio, but it will die hard in
Pennsylvania, although the politi-
clans, as class, have given it up as
"clean gone" Still, life will be re-
tanned in it by sort of galvanic pro-
cess in the Western counties, where
it is claimed the people are mad for
soft money. But in the eastern sec
tions and in Philadelphia it is en-
tirely defunct. The cry now is that
the State can be saved to the Demo-
Gratis only by changing front as rap
idly as possible, and making a fight
on Administrative reform this, the
Commercial correspondent thinks
they ought to have done at first, and
that had they confined themselves to
this issue and left all ex5raneous is
sues to take care of themselves, they
might have carried the State by a
large majority. But having made
the tremendous blunder of introduce
ing the entirely unnecessary issue of
the money question, they can now
hope, by lodging tho issue which
they shave raised themselves, and
turning to reform, F." only to reduce
the republican majority Of the State.
Aside from the initiation heresy, the
democrats have points of advantage
in strong ticket, while the republi-
cans are wealSin candidates all over
the State.
The people are tired of being ruled
by political combinations, ana this
gives the Democrats unusual power.
Bnt the great weakness of the Dem
ocratic party lies in the financial is
sue, which has driven like wedge
into all the traditions of the party,
and has rent asunder all the issues
on which the party was preparing to
make a vigorous fight. As the case
now stands, the democratic leaders
are placed in the unenviable position
of being forced to " hedge" on the
financial question and to cry specie
payments, where few days ago they
cried Mr.. Keliey's assignats.

HAS it ever occurred to the aver
age reader of newspaper items, and
more especially of those relating to
governmental, bank railroad OF other
organizations or institutions, that al
most invariably the securities es-
cape, or in other words,a ARE either I'M
able to make good their bonds, or in
some peculiar process manage TO es-
cape their payment.
1t is for this reason, we presume,
that men of questionable interity
find it so easy to procure sureties
when assuming positions of response
billy. II the law iii regard to surety
ship was enforced according to its
letter and spirit, and men who be-
come bondsmen were compelled to
make good the defalcations of those
for whose faithfulness they pledged
themselves, better men would be re-
quired for such positions.

The first Masonic funeral that ever oc-
Cured in California took place in 1S49,
and was performed over brother found
drowned in the Bay of San Franclsco.
An account Of the ceremonies states tnat
on the body Of the deceased was louha q
silver mark of Mason, upon which
were engraved the initials OF his name.
A little further investigation revealed 10
the beholder the most singular exhlbl-
ton of Masonic emblems that was ever
drawn by the ingenuity Of man upon the
human skin. There is nothing in the
history of traditions of Freemasonry
equal to it. Beautifully dotted on his
left arm, in red and blue ink, which
time could not efface, appeared all the
emblems of the entire pprenticeshlp.
There was the Holy Bible, square and
| compass, the twenty-tour-lnch gauge,
and common gayel. There was also the
Masonic Pavement, representing the
ground floor OF King Solomon's Temple,
the identical tessel which surrounds IT,
and the blazing star in the center. on
his right arm, and artistically executed
| in the same indelible liquid, were the
emblems pertaining to the felloWoraft's
degree, viz: the square, the Level, ano
| the plumb. There was also the hye col
umns representing the i've orders oi
architecture-the Tuscan, Dorlc, Ionic,
| Corinthian, and Composite.
In removing his garments from his
| body, the trowel presented itself with
all the other tools Of operative Masonry
| On his heart was the pot of incense. On
the other parts of his body was the bee
hive, the book OF constitutions, guarded
by the Tyler's sword, pointing to naked
heart; the All-Seeing eye, the anchor
and ark, the hour-glass, the scytne, the
forty-seventh problem OF Euclid, the sun,
moon, stars, and comets; the three steps
which are emblematieal of youth, man
hood, and age. Admiralty executed
was the weeping virgin, reclining on
broken column, upon which lay the book
of constitutions. In her right hand she
held the pot Of incense, the Masonic EN-
blem of a pure heart, and in her lef,
hand a sprig OF Acacia, the emblem o!
the immortality OF the soul.
Imme diately beneath her stood winged
Time, with his scythe by his side, which
cuts the brittle thread Of life, and thf
hour-glass at his feet, which is ever re
minding us that our lives are whitening
away, The Withered and attenuateC
figures of the Destroyer were placed
amid the long and flowing ringlets OF thu
disconsolate mourner. Thus were strik
ing emblems of mortality and immortal
Iity blended in one pictorial representa-
tion.
i IL was a spectacle such as Mason
never saw before, and In all probaoillt.
such as the fraternity will never wltnes
again. The brothers name was neVe
; known.

cious and reliable Fluid Extract OF Beef before

preparation Of food for sick persons and con-
valescents, has been improved upon by SIR
