Wonderful Recovery of n
Wounded Man.

John Harris, who had his head
split open by an axe that fell 100
feet down the shaft of the Yellow
Jacket Mine in Nevada, two years
ago. is still alive and at work on
the Comstock. Though he lost
strip of skull bone four inches
long and two and half inches
wide, he has taken that head to
Europe and brought it back, and
thinks a good deal of it yet. He
has pretty much recovered from
the effects of the accident, having
no tro uble with his head. but there
is sort of hitch or jerk in his
walk, evidently the result of the
hnrt. This is one of the excep-
tional cases in surgery, of which
there are not more than half a
dozen in the books, ranking with
that of the man who had lamp
ing iron blown through his head
from chin to crown by prema-
ture blast without killing him.

The Egyptian Masonic Em.
blems.

Inc New YORK HerGtd'S Alex
andria correspondent furnishes adj
ditional details of the Masonic om-
bleuIs fund In the foundations of
Cleopatra's needle. They disclose
the ancient organization of a Ma
sonic lodge, and that their degrees
includa I'd some unknown to the
moderns. A masonic square, cut
out OF an immense block of granite,
first led to the investigation of the
matter by Commander Gorringe,
who is freemason. The square
bears upon the inner base three de-
grees corresponding with the first
three masonic grades. Under the
square were three steps, represent
ing the apprentice, companion
and master degrees, differing in
size according to the time requir-
ed for obtaining the degrees. Out
side of the square a block was
found having four faces, accurate
ly dressed. This block is smooth
ashlar, signifying lodge. Tow
ard the west block was found in
dented and Clipped as If by de-
sign, and is rough asher. This
rough stone was to the west, the
direction of darkness and igno-
rance, and represented the appren-
ticeship. In the midst of eighteen
blocks forming the lower step, was
one of a brilliant whiteness, repre-
sentiug purity and light, which,
though buried, was to become the
emblem of truth when exposed TO
public view. The stones of the
foundation, with one exception,
were laid in white NOR ar, and
finely dressed. The smooth ashlar
is laid in beautiful yellow cement.
One stone at the western end has
two columns cut, forming the
Greek letter omega. Another
stone bears upon one corner the
capital of an Ionic column, TO rep
resent perfection On the capital
is the cutting of a right angle and
attached to another stone and
wholly oxidized, was found an or
binary masonic trOwel. The steps
and foundation will be replaced in
their former relative positions
when theyarrive in New York,
each piece having been numbered
to correspond with numbers on a
drawing that was made before the
pieces were disturbed. The ODE
iisk was erected 903 years ago,
and the foundation must have
been constructed before that time.

The immigration to the United States the

Northern ports on the Atlantic, 1850 at
Pacific coast ports, 4s5. OBS at ports on the
lakes, and l4i, 1854 at Southern ports. In
this division, Baltimore, at which 0i,4SS
persons landed, Is reckoned as Southern
port. Nearly all Of the immigrants re-
ceiyed there go to the West. The reports
made by the bureau Of statistics, by which
this statement Is published, are extremely
inaccurate in regard 10 the land immigra'
grafton by the way Of Canada. II this
were included, itwould probably be found
that the immigration Of the past ten years
has reached plump 5000, 900 persons, %
per cent. Of whom have been added to the
population Of the North. This total has
never been exceeded In any decennial
period, From 1850 to 1850 the immigra'
grafton was nearly 100000, and this W
to the period just closed has been the
largest accession on record.

Ex-Governor Seymour, oil New York
State, in the course Of recent speech, In.
weighed against the Republicans for styling
the United States Nation. With Demo.
cratic proClivity he goes back to the theo.
ries aud dogmaS Of hisparty before the
war. But true patriots, although Demo.
crats. when the stress has come, have been
compelled TO abandon this ground, and to
act on the practical conviction that this
republic Is a Nation. Every Democrat
who fought for the Union, fought for 1t as
Nation, with the right Of selt.defense, Of
full and complete life. Whenever the
Government Is asSailed II must assert this
principle. The American people, united
and equal, with common Government,
acting for them as whole, constitutes a
Nation.

Hancock offers straw Bail for HI,
Pariy's Behavior.
Senator Conkling, In his speech at Rich

which he says he will veto bills passed BY

fiIcted by the war. Only think OF candi'
date going bail for his party In that way,
Gen. Hancock comes forward to give bail
Tor the Democratic party that Ii will keep
peace now. Think OF Il moment. The
French maxim says: ale accuses who ex
cuses," What would you think Of man
or a society 10 your handsome city oil Rich
mond thai had 10 get somebody TO come
forward and certify, or In some form 90
security, that that man or that sIciety
would not commit some public injury OF

that he would veto such and such ras'
cally bill II the Republican party pass
It! / undertake to say there isn't q
man 10 this country who has the courage

OF the Republican party, TO dare 70 one'
such an insult as that, The idea Of a
party coming forward to claim and ask the
condolences Of the Nation and the control

say thst he will WELD the veto power,
that he will come In against his own party
with the veto power as the only way Of
shutting the hood.gates OF deyiitry and
expenditure which would sap and mine

The above Is a very Just and very strik'
