ready before it was brought thither; so
that there was neither hammer, nor axe,
nor any tool Of iron heard in the house
while it was in building" And even to
day the work of the Phenician masons
is seen and identified in Jerusalem. 1t
is known by the peculiar style of bevel-
ed stone which always indicates the
presence of that people. Some of it
stands now where it was placed 1000
years ago and many stones which have
been recovered from old ruins have been
built into new walls, where they pro-
claim, down to this day, the presence of
Hirams' masons aiding, and indeed di-
recting in the work.
But the chief centre of attraction to
the Christian visitor here is the Church
of the Holy Sepulchre. 1t is building
of very great proportions, and covers
the burial of our Lord. Modern criti-
cism has called into question, and in
deed, sometimes repudiated this tradi-
ton. Robinson, especially, who is wide
ly received as authority in matters per-
tanning to the topography of Jerusalem,
reached definite conclusions adverse to
the claims of this particular locality
but excavations made since have tended
strongly to discredit some of his theories
and 90 to strengthen the drift Of tradi-
| ton, which always, SO far as we know,
pointed to this place. 1t is within the
walls of the present city that Robinson's
Investigation led him to suppose that it
was within the walls as they stood at
the time of the crucifixion. Recent dis
coveries, however, tend to the opposite
conclusion, that this particular section
of the city was outside of the wall as it
} then stood. This is vital point, as we
know Christ suffered ''aUith0ut the gate. !"
Those who discredit this locality af-
. firm that the tradition in its favor origi-
| mated with the finding of the 'true
cross" here, and hold that, having origi-
mated in such fraud, it is Of no value
and cannot command respect among rea-
party affirm that the tradition did not
originate with the pious fraud about the
A'true cross" but existed from the very
earliest times, and that for the very rea-
son that Christ known to have been
crucified here. Hadrian built his heath
en- temple on the spot with view to
dishonor it in the eyes of his followers
. and SO insult and humiliate them. Far
ther, they maintain that for the reason

i the deplorable superstition and fanata

AN ANCIENT MAsoN.-The following ex-
tract from Masonic obituary notice in the
Union Is. c. Times, brings out some striking
facts in the history of an humble life: Games
Orr, the subject Of this obituary, died at his
residence, near Jonesville, s. c., on th 9th of
December, 1876, in the ,94th year of his age.
The deceased was born in the town Of Ayr,
Scotland, on the 1st of October, 1888. In
1903 he entered the militia of Scotland. In
1907 volunteered in Portsmouth, England.
In 1908 went to Portugal in Wellington's
army; and was in all the principal battles in
the Peninsular war. he remained in the
army in Spain and Portugal until 181 4, when
his regiment was sent home to recruit. He
was ten years and ten months In the regular
army. In 1916 be enlisted again, but bought
his discharge in 1919. he was married to
Martha Shirley in 1917, and came to Ameri:
ca, and arrived at Union G. a., on the 9th Of
November, 1919. His first child was born
at New Brunswick, End of June, 1919. The
other ten at the homestead where the deceased
lived. He Joined Ayr st. Panls Lodge, A.
F. NJ, in 1901, and was demitted from the
same End November, 1916. He joined the
fraternity at the age of 18, privilege which
the Masons of Scotland allowed to those
about to join the army. Thus this worthy
and venerable brother foated to the breeze
the standard of Masonry for seventy.fve
years. His membership was in the same
Lodge that the celebrated poet, Robert Burns,
had belonged to-"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1877-03-15

his friend observed, "though he didn't know
as he could give him any burial to boast Of
yet he couldn't leave him like dog by the
roadside for the wild beasts and birds to pick
the flesh off his bones" Accordingly, rude
litter of saplings was constructed, on which
the body was laid, and borne off by the dri'
yer and the cemrade of the unfortunate man
the other passengers remaining in the stage
to await Morris return. Some damage had
been done to the harness, which caused a still
greater delay; and it was broad daylight
when, having accomplishing all repairs posi-
Bile under the circumstances, the unlucky
party proceeded on their way.
This affair, when it became known, excited
a great stir all throughout the surrounding
country. Active measures were taken to dis
cover the criminals, who had, by their assault
on the stage-coach, become the possessors of a
large sum of money in. gold and bank-notes,
as we'll as of some important papers, the loss
of which caused serious injury to several par
ties concerned. But in vain were experts
detailed to pursue and convict them no ira
ees of them could be found. An attack of
similar nature had once before been made on
this very conveyance, but without success,
the robbers, though escaping unharmed, fail
ing to secure the booty they sought, and in
Aicting no injury on either the driver or the
passengers. By some it was conjectured that
this second attack had been instituted by the
same parties, reinforced by additional num-
bers, but this could not, with any certainty,
be affirmed. Whatever the facts Of the case
might be, nothing occurred to throw any light
on the subject, and after some weeks spent in
fruitless search, all farther investigation was
abandoned as hopeless.
morris stage" as it was called, seemed
after this to fall into disrepute. Not that any
reproach was attached to his conduct on the
night of the robbery, but people grew shy OF
taking route fraught with such danger, and
a safer, though longer one, came into popular
favor. Old Morris grumbled at the change,
swore that all mankind were fools and cow
ards, and predicted that day would come
when they would be glad to avail themselves
of his short route again; but finally becom-
ing disgusted with his loss Of patronage, he
gave up the business altogether, and morris
stage" faded into memory of the past.

sa%By an odd chance, two lovers Of one wo'
man met as convicts in the Alabama State
prison. One was to serve three years and the
other FIVE; and the latter desired compact
by which the former was not to take advan-
taee of his earlier freedom, but to refrain from
courting the woman until both we're at liber-
ty. The three-years' man refused to make
any such agreement, and was in consequence
nearly murdered by the 6ve-years' man. The
woman had already married somebody else.

p% Various projects have been proposed to
shorten the dreaded voyage between Europe
and America. One plan contemplates rail
way across Newfoundland, connecting with
swift steamers, which could make the trip
from that island to Valentia bay, Ireland, in
three days. Another project, which would
shorten the passage about one.half, is that OF
building railroad from New Glasgow, Nova
Scotia, to Whitehaven, the most easterly point
on the continent, and about 1000 miles from
New York, by which the ocean voyage would
be shortened to FIVE days.

Mrs. Malloy, the Irishwoman, who was
somewhat consoled by the discovery that she

assistance in loosening her male companions
from their bonds, while uttering many lamen-

swore to avenge his death, if ever chance
should throw the murderer in his way. But

his disguise had fallen aside, not one of the
