SECRETS OF MAsoNRY.-Old Zach
Wheeler was quite q character in his

man, who managed to let everybody
cheat him out Of his inherited estates.
Just as his last farm was about to slip
out OF his hands he succeeded in raising
the money to lift the mortgage. Aaron
Remer, prominent Mason, accompanied
him 10 the town. AS they were riding
ON horseback, Zach says to Aaron, in q
confiding tone:
Nov, Aaron, we are hero alone, and
want you to tell me the secrets of Ma
sonry."
II can't Zach; they would kill me-"
why, they won: know; they'll never

"No, swear won't"
"Well, if you'll ride close alongside of
me, and put your hand upon my thigh,
aid take the oath I'll administer, Tll tell
you the secrets of Maeonry."
Zack was not slow to comply, and a
most powerful ";ron-clad" oath was ad-
ministered and taken.
"Now for the aecreta," exclaimed she
impatient and unsuspecting victim.
Well" said Aaron, with mock So
lemnity and secrecy, Sin the first place,
we Masons combine together to cheat
everybody as much az we can. This is
the first grand secret. The second is
like unto it. When we can't find any
body else to cheat, we cheat each other,
but as little as we cam"

went over the Wilderness route, writes
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Enqui-
rcr, in sight almost all the way of the
leading roads on which Lees army had
moved out from behind the Rapidan to
strike Grant in the line of March for
Richmond. A that time no railroad
existed through the Wilderness. A
narrow guagc railroad of very rough quail
ity, about thirty-nine miles long, now
reaches the whole distance from Orange
to Fredericksburg, passing within sight
OF Charlottesville, within q short dis.
tance of the Wilderness Tavern and
crossing Mine Run, where Meade lost so
much time, on high, frail trestlc the
railroad also crosses the lines of march of
Grant after he left his camps around
Culpeppcr and crossed the Rapidan to
Raccoon and Germania fords.
The Wilderness at the present day has
only changed as far as building small
station houses and incipient towns along
the railroad goes. 1t is one of the poor
est pieces of country in Virginia, and
originally dug over 20 find surface IRON
ore these ore-pits have been changed by
the rains into gullies, which figured in
the great battles thereabout. All the
trees sight are either a sickly oak or q
stuntcd pine. There are fow creeks of
any kind running from the Wilderness
proper until you come to the soucres
of the Mattapouy, where the country
grows more fertile.
This region is sort of hill land, be.
tween the sources Of various rivers, whose
original soil Of a clay mold was washed
off b the heavy rains, and has long ago
disappeared into the river bottoms.
They were getting out railroad ties at
about every point we saw in the Wilder.
