An Old Masonic Relic.


The Gallatin (Tennessee) Examiner
gives the following interesting account
of an old Masonic relici There is now
In the possession of John l.. Swaney,
of Castalian Springs, in this county, a
Masonic apron that is one hundred
years old. 1t is made of Irish linen,
with the Masonic emblem nicely en-
broidered Oh IL with silk. 1t was made
in Bartee county, North Carolina, by
Miss Mary Spivey for Henry Belote,
about which time there was great
prejudice among the ladies against Ma
sonry, and this young lady and her
mother were the only ladies who would
make them any regalia. Miss Mary
Spivey was married July 10, l776, to
james Bate. She was the mother OF
Colonel Humphrey Bate, and the
great-grandmothero fGeneral William
b. Bate. The date other marriage fix
es the time she made the apron, as il
was made before Henry Belote died,
II 1927, and while on his death-bed he
gave his apron to John l.. Swaney, re-
questing him to keep it as long as he
lived. John l.. Swaney is perhaps the
oldest Mason living in Tennessee. He
was initiated into Lodge No. 6, in Gal
latin, in 1905.

From the New Albany Qnd.) Ledger.l
Last night about $3.50 o'clock, the
family of Mr.. William Wattam, gen.
tleman residing some four miles from
the city, on the river road, together
with several friends from the city,
were attracted by loud noise coming
from the bank OF the river, about 100
yards below the house. The whole
party hastened in the direction of the
noise, and on their arrival, found that
a portion of the precipitous river bank
had slid into the river. While they
were standing looking into The abyss
below, where were mingled together
a mass of trees, bushes and earth,
whirling around us if in whirlpool,
a cracking noise was heard directly in
their rear, and, on looking around, the
dismayed party found that the ground
was slipping away directly I'M
der them and on all sides. They
beat "a nasty retreat to more solid
ground, barely escaping being swept
into the boiling flood below. One
young lady, Miss Cor Cotton, sinking
up to her shoulders, and Mr.. Briggs, in
his endeavor to rescue her, falling into
the same predicament. When the par
ty had extricated themselves from
their perilous situation, and thought
themselves safe, tho earth made an
other shift, this time the whole party
sliding down to the edge of the water,
from whence they climbed to the
bank with the greatest difficulty. An
examination of the premises this
morning disclosed the fact that over
one acre of ground, and the road s.long
the front of the farm, the ground being
planted in cabbage, had been swallow
ed up in the abyss, the space caved In
being thirty feet deep, seventy-five
yards wide. and about one hundred
yards In length.

they are not II "likcucss of anything

markable than how any one can adj

intended TO be sweeping, since 1t is
not applied to lace-mnking, which

taught to II considerable extent in nun
ncries. The converts in the Nosges
mountains in Alsuce, whose occupants
have been driven out of their pleasant
homes by the cruel policy of Prince
Bismarck, were dainty lace-makers.
Lace making, long confined to Europe,
is now becoming popular in this coun-
| try. To'quote contemporary, who
gives some good hints OH this subject:
"point, guipure aud Honiton laces are
made for ends OF neclitics, for fan and
parasol covers, cushions, tides and
toilet boxes. Squares and stripes
of guipure, alternating with Swiss
muslin squares and stripes, are used
for chamber and bondoir curtains,
| toilet draperies, pillow-slips and bed
shown to best advantage over Innings
of colored silk. A young lady who
learned this art during her residence
abroad has with her own handiwork
made her country home beautiful.
Printed paper patterns ofthe design to
be wrought come in boxes with all the
material; experts in the art have be-
| gun the design in one corner, and in
experienced needlewomen, if possessed
ola little ingenuity, can read ly carry
it out. The braid for making point
lace costs from 81 to $3.50 for Il piece
measuring three dozen yards. Pearl
edges for these cost about half
rs much. The wide Moscow braid

and cushion-covers in patterns
similar to those of point lace.
Honiton designs for handler-
chief borders cravat and sash ends,
covers for parasols and fans, come
stamped on cambria with the neces-
sary braids; the pattern costs from
twenty-five cents to 81 % each. Hon

made of square-meshed guipure net,
nearly covered with applique figures of
| fine ecru linen secured to the net by
overcasting the edges in hutton-hole
stitch, and embroidering the linen in
brilliant Roman colors. These pieces
should be lined with silk. They come

Thirteen of this crew died on the pas

shaugliraun and Skibbeelii.

Mr.. Dion Boucicault has engaged in a law
suit IN New York, which looks as if it Nigh
damage his reputation as a dramatic author
Of course, "Shaughraun" is great success
| The box-office of Wallack's testihes to that
and Boucicault's pockets know it. The inter
est in it is vet al high tide, and every thing is
lovely at Wallack's, I'll but one thing.
Mr. Hart OF the Theatre Comique produced
q play which he called "Skibbee.h In some
OF It's situations and scenes and properties it
was very like 'Shaughraun' so much so that
Bouci2aut sued Hart for infringing upon his
play aud copyright Hart defends himself by
telling in court how SIKH Jceah" was made,
and showing where he got his materials
Ills exposition is that in November, 1874
he Was looking around for dramatic subject
10 work up for the IAeater ConliQue and fell
upon Il printed drama entitled Pike O'Cal-
laght, or the Irish Patriot, an original play
by Reeves, u member of the Dramatic Au-
tlors' Association. There was u note on the
cover stating thai this drama was put upon
the stage Of the Royal Surrey Theatcr.
LONDON, England. Feb. 7, 1870 over four
years before the Librarian Of Congress re-
corded tlo copyright Of "Shaughraun ;"
From that copy Of Reeves play Hart AYERS
he drew the idea and made the play of SIKH
beeab, adapted to the Conique audience,
being at the time utterly ignorant of the con
struciion of Ssh lughraun.' which he had
never seen. Mr. Hart cheerfullyand candidly
acknowledges chat he stole the '.Skibbeeah,"
drawing, as he says my plots. incidents
scenes and construction from the said play OF
Pike OCallaghan, changing the text, all the
names etc. Af,er the .Skibbeeah' was pro-
duced at the Theater Comiquo the dramatic
cobbler went to Wallick's TO see "5haunh-
riun and discovered striking coincidence
IN 'Shaughraun' and "tSkibbeeah," in Ian
9uage and plot. Hart swoars he can't help it,
and declares he owes Bouccault nothing
lie goes on TO explain that the remarkable
resemblance between the two plays is solely
due to th, fact that both are st )len from tie
anne author. This looks reasonable, but
Boucicauit IS yet to be heard from, and he
may be able 70 explain Harris explanation |
As things stand now it resembles a fight be-
yeen paSso-pot and shears and the real
lnthor Is ruled out of the ring, all because
here ls no international copyright treaty |
But ''Shaughraun' is success and doubt |
eSs pike O'Calaghan" was not as it made |
10 noise b3fore this controversy.
