JEHOSHAPHAT. Our ancient
brethren Who reduced the scat
tered elements of Freemasonry
into order at the beginning Of
the last cortnry, considered the
lodge to be situated in the valley
of Jehoshaphat; and that in
whatever part of the world it
might be opened, it was still es'
teemed, in a figure, to occupy
that celebrated locality. Thus
it was pronounced, in the earl,
est, known lectures, that the
lodge stands upon holy ground,
or the highest hill or lowest dale
or. in the Vale of Jehoshaphat'
This celebrated valley derives
it's name from Jehovah and
Shaphat, which means Christ
and to Judge; and as the prophet
Joel had predicted that the Lord
would gather together all ma
lions, and bring them down into
the valley Of Jehoshaphat, it was
believed by the Jews, land the
Christians subsequently adopted
the same opinion) that in TINS
place the transactions of the
great day of Judgment would be
enacted.

The brazen sea rested upon

In Ezekiel description OF the
temple are many figures, which
like the Egyptian deitieS, had
heads of animals. The pillars,
joachim and Boaz, were decorated
with lily-work, network, and
pomegranates, as symbols OF the
peace, unity, and plenty which
distinguished the building. Even
after the Babylonish captivity
the same symbolical system was
used. The golden lamp IN the

golden vines, thickly charged
with rich clusters of grapes.
JEWS. The Jews for five hun

from Egypt, have left not SIN
gle masonic tradition beyond that
recorded in the first degree, and
as the second degree treats upon
! the arts and sciences it certainly
came from different source than
the first, for the ten command
ments, and more especially the
Talmudic explanation of the same
were bar to the higher studies
of the Jews. Nothing sculptured,
or otherwise made with hands,
whereby the Deity, or eternity
was represented, was permitted
and the Rabbinical law saying
that the scien ces were not neces
sary, operated so powerfully upon
| the conscientious part of thai
people, that they followed thu
humble employment of Il pastora
life. This accounts for the scantN
documents we have of the lsrae

post-Offlce Robbery.

Tuesday morning tnieVes OloKe
into the Post Office and secured
about $50 in money and a guam
tity Of stamps. The robbery oc-
cured about 2 o'elock a. m, and
is supposed to have been done by
three men. Mr.. Ed. Higgin-
botham, whose residence is next
to the Post-of1ice, was awakened
and discovered the robbers. They,
however. had worked so rapidly
that they we're enabled to escape
with their booty. Dynamite was
used to force the doors Of the safe.
and it was the noise Of the explo-
sion that called attention to their
presence and came near being the
cause Of their capture in the act.
This IS the fourth time this office
has been burglarized. At three
previous times professionals have
made attempts on the safe, the last
time the outer doors having been
blown off. but leaving the inner
doors intact, This time dynamite
was used on the inner doors,
wrecking them. and then a charge
was placed in the cash compart-
ment, that shattered the door. The
work was quickly done. showing
that the robbers knew what they
were about.
Il was but short while before
Sheriff Broussard and the town
officers were on the scene and STAR
ted in hot pursuit Of the thieves.
Sheriff Broussard Immediately
after making an Investigation ad-
vanced the theory that the job was
none by two white men and a

: tlv confirmed by an arrest made
later by Marshall Peck. who ar
rested a negro named John White
between Lafayette and Scott, and
recovered from the prisoner the
$40 cash, the stamps. and a
nocket knife stolen from the office.
The negro did not yield at once,
