MASONIC EN- BLEMS.
CONFIRMATION or THE TRUTH OF THEIR
DISCOVERY UNDER THE oBEIIsE.

CONFIRMATION or THE TRUTH or THEIR
DISCOVERY UNDER THE oBEMsE.
Herald Alexandria Egypt Special
DR.. fanton, a highly instructed mason,
has finished a careful examination Of the
foundations OF the obelisk, and confirms
Lieutenant Com. Gorringe's discovery Of
the Masonic emblems, which established
the relations Of many ancient Egyptian
monuments. DR.. Fanton declares that the
Hiram version that masonery originated
with the construction of Solomons temple.
is disproyed BY the revelations of the foun.
dadons Of the obcIisk.
The Masonic emblem Of life and The sun.
beyond doubt, is identical OF the Egyptian
god Osiris. This proved that Missionary
originated with the construction of the
pyramids, or least with far rcmOtcr period
than the construction Of the foundation Of
the oDelisk. The number Of blocks com
prising the foundation, as well as their
position and arrangement. indicate bat
the anclcnts were familiar with the highrr
degrees OF Masonry--at least as high as the
eighteenth degree, Many peculiar en-
blcmS, not understood by Lieutenant Com.
mander Gorringr, were fully explained by
Dr. Fonton, from Masonic point OF view.
This discovery furnishes clcw TO other
important discoveries, not only under the
fallen obeliSks, but also in other parts or
Egypt, rendering probable solution Of
the mystery Of the construction Of the
pyarmids. Among the discoveries was
found perfect cube, and also emblcms Of
all Masonic foundations Lieut.. Com.
Gorringe, who is Il member of Masonic
fraternity, entirely approves DR., Fauion's
explanation. and gives this dispatch his en-
tire appreciation.

HOW TO PAcK nuTTER.

Butter made in tho months Of May, June
and July has he best flavor, texture, and
color. II lis we'll made and well packed,
it may be kept good for year. After the
butter is churned, it should be thoroughly
freed from buttermllk by repeated washing
in pure cold water; to effect this, the but
ter should not be over churned, but should
be taken from the churn when it is in
granular form, no pieces being larger than
peas. When thoroughly washed it should
be salted with the purest salt-IIggins is
now generally used by the best butter
makers-at the rate Of three quarters Of
an ounce to the pound, and put away until
next day, when it is well worked with the
ladle and packed in new white oak tubs
holding fifty pounds each. Some Of the
most progressive dairymen however, now
prefer to pack it as soon as the salt is dis
solved, as long exposure to the air is detri-
mental to the flavor. The tubs should be
stepped in brine then rnsed with fresh
water, sprinkled with fine salt, and the
butter packed down closely while the wood
is wet II the tub is not filled cover the
butter with brine, and next packing this is
poured of, and the butter packed as before
When filed to within quarter Of an inch
Of the. edge, cover with a piece Of fine
muslinsan fill up with salt; fasten down
the cover, and set the tub away in cool
place.

FOOD FOR EMIGRANTs.

Emlgrants for the West have long
suffered to great extent by failure to re-
oeiye proper food at the stopping places.
The contracts for furnishing them meals
have in many cases been lot 10 restaurant
keepers, and the result has been very un-
satisfactory. To remove all cause for com
plant in this matter, the Erie Railway Co.
has decided to take into its own hands the
feeding Of the emigrants travelling on It's
road A systematic plan for carrying out
this idea has been deYised by John NJ. Ab.
bott, General Passenger agent Of the road.
When emigrants reach the various stop.
ping places for refreshments they are given
the entire freedom Of the companys depot
enclosures, and no outsiders will be per-
mitted 10 intifere with them in any way,
The company's officials will furnish them
with an abundance OF such food as they
call, for which is usually Swedish or rye
bread and coffee, milk, cheese, bologna sau-
sage, pie, &c, The provisions served are TO be
Of the very best quality in every case, and
the officials will insist that the prices
charged shall be strictly adheared TO. The
rates fixed for the articles are as follows:
Swedish, rye, or wheat bread, 10 cents a
loaf pies, 10 cents milk, ten cent q
quart; cheese, 10 cents pound; bologna,
10 cents; coffee, cents cup; cigars, 8
and 10 cents; smoking tobace, cents.

Buffalo a few days ago, and gave entire
satisfaction TO all concerned. ~ T. Sun.

Eds. Tel.-Several articles have been
written lately regarding the proper obser-
vance of the Sabbath with particular ap-
plication to this community, as it is evi.
dent there is general and increasing lose
ness of feeling in this regard It strikes
me that In order to secure the end desired
those who are considered friendly to the
Sabbath as sacred day, must show their
great reverence for the day more plainly
by refraining from practices, which of
themselves seem of trlaing moment, in
order to show influence, and regard for q
reform in this direction. As it will be diff
cult for one party to see why they should
refrain from their peculiar pleasures OF
privileges, as they may consider them,
while others allow themselves in practices
which are perhaps equally Objectionable.
IL appears desirable that every one In
favor Of perpetuating the regenerating in
fluences Of a well kept Sabbath should
take this matter into serious cOnsidera-
tiOn and endeavor TO avoid customs
which tend TO lessen regard for the proper
observance Of the day. Unless we are
willing TO do this, can we with good grace
for instance, ask the large boys or young
men TO refrain from the habit of collect

Or how, ask persons Of more mature
growth, to desist from gathering in saloon

indicating that the occupants or patrons

accomplished little selfdenial Of suppos-
ed rights and privileges must be exercised
by those favorable TO the reform.

This, aiter all, is not contest between
man end man. The point to be decided
is, whether the Democratic party, after
having steadily opposed the Republican
policy particularly and in detail, for
years; after having been substantially up
on the Southern side during the Rebellion /;
after having set its face against every ra-
tional plan Of reconstruction; after pro
longed faction and partisanship constant
ly vergiDg upon treason, shall now be put
in full possession Of the Government.
Hancock may be an angei in epaulets, but
he is the candidate of this party. His
election will give it power. His defeat
will send it back to the same place to
which the people have over and over again
consigned it. No Republican who has
been such because he believed the Repub-
lican party to be a safeguard Of the Re-
public will trust the Democracy any the
more because Hancock is handsome
