Free• Masonry in the Army
_ An army correspondent at City Point,,
Va., informs the Boston Journal bow the
body of Col. Cummins of Brattleboro,
Vermont, who was killed in the battle of
Poplar Grove Church, was recovered:—
The facts connected with:the recovery
Of his remains are very •interesting.—
Thereis an order that no flags of truce
shall be sent in, or intercourse of any
kind allowed on our picket lines, and so
the recovery of his body seemed impossi
ble after the recent battle, although it
was known that he fell near our own
picket . line. Application was made to
Gen. Griffin for a flag of truce, which, of
course, could not be granted, so another
method was resorted to.
An officer of the 7th Rhode Island vol
unteers; who was a Free-Mason, was on
duty on the picket line. He watched a
good opportunity, and when he saw a
Confederate officer, he threw a Masonic
sign which was immediately answered by
the Confederate officer, who happened to
be a Mason. and a mutual agreement was
made that they sh-old meet as friends
between the picket lines. Shaking hands,
&c., they found each other to be Masons.
and our officer communicated the earnest
desire of our Vermont friends to recover
the body of Col. Cummins, who was also
a member of the fraternity.
The Confederate officer could not re
spond to the request until he went to see
the Confederate General in command,
who it is supposed was also a Mason, for
the request was granted at once.
Fraternal expressions of mutual esteem
and high personal regard wore exchangd
by the officers in blue and grey, and they
parted—to meet again, perhaps, on the
battle-field, where all ties are disregarded
and forgotten, except Masonry.
Several instances have occurred in this
campaign, where officers bodies have
been recovered on account of. Masonry,
and evidence is accumulating every day
that, while the Confederate officers hate
us, and would murder or assassinate us,
they suddenly tarn into gentlemen and
philanthropists when approached as Ma
sons.
TERRIBLE CONDITION OF TQE Poon
IN NEW YORIC—The New York Tinvs
says: The matter of improved dwellings
for the laboring classes an.l the poor is
attracting an attention which, it is to be
hoped, will result in good. The manner
in which many of the inhabitants of the
city live is revolting, and seems incredi
ble. The Citizen, in a recent number,
says that a medical gentleman, connected
with the association, visited a tenement
house forty feet front, in which 134 &mi
les were living. Is it right to say liv
ing ? Should it not be written that 134
families were dying beneath the roof?
Can the children in this crowded )louse
stand any chance for their lives? Another
party tells of visiting a room about twelve
feet square, with a bedroom attached, in
which he saw thirteen individuals, all
breathing the same impure and unwhole
some air, while the stench from the ac
cumulated filth in the yard below was in
tolerable. The family residing in the
"apartments" (?) consisted of a widow
with a daughter over 18 years old, and
three sons,aged respectively sixteen, four
teen, and eight years, and all occupying
the same bed on the floor. The widow
took in lodgers, and in one corner of the
same floor lay two sisters. who paid two
shillings per night fur their bed, such as
it was, and in another corner lay the
niece of the widow, a married woman,
while the dark room was occupied by a
man, his wife and three children. Be
neath these apartments was a damp cel
lar, "with ground for the floor," where
about a dozen "boarders," men and wo
men, lay like pigs in a sty, and the family
who boarded them consisted of five in
dividuals, making seventeen in all.
DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY IN THE
SHENANDOAH VALLFY.—An officer of
the Ist Rhode Island cavalry, serving in
Sheridan's army, gives the following ac
count of property destroyed by the cav
airy division alone during the operation

1864, as copied from the provost
marshal's report:
"Eight hundred and eighty barns, 57
mills 4955 tons of hay, 1,910,702 bush
els of wheat, 4 saw-mills, 3 furnaces, 1
woolen mill, 515 acres of corn, 750 bush

sheep driven off, 725 swine driven off,
500 barrels of flour, 225 tons of straw,
272 tons of fodder, 2 tanneries, 2 waggons

contents, S ambulances and medical wag
ons, SI muskets, 4 caisous and contents,
20,000 rolls of carbine amnuitian. Total

A Curter WAY TO CLEAN CLOCKS.
—A correspondent, writing to the Scien
tific American, states : "Common brass
clocks may be cleaned by immersing the
works in boiling water. Rough as this
treatment may appear, it works well. and
I have fur many years past boiled my
clocks whenever they stop from an ac
cumulation of dust or a thickening of
the oil upon the pivots. They should be
boiled in pure or rain water and dried
on a warm stove or near the fire. I write
this by the tick of au eight-day clock
which was boiled a year ago, and has be
haved perfectly well ever since."
From the Oil Region.
DIIINTICARD TOWNSIIIP.
GIAZEN COIINT,r, PA.
November 21. 1884.
DEAR. SPY : In accordance with-uay
promise I now write a few lines with ref
erence to this new oii region. Dunkurd
Creek rises in Nest pirginia and': inn
ning in a northerly direction empties in
to the Monongehela river two miles above
Greensboro in Grten county, the latter
place being the farthest point—up—the_
river to which steamers run regularly.—
To digress a little, I would state tliat the
Monongahela river is made navigable to
this point at all seasons of the year by,
means of slackwtor, and that the build
ing of one more dam, which has been
contemplated l'or many years and will
probably now be soon accomplished, will
snake the river navigable to Morgantown
in West Virginia, and also mak.o Dunk
ard Creek itself navigable for small
steamers for mere than a mile front its
mouth. The intense excitement which
now is manifested at this new " Mecca,"
is perhaps in part to be attributed to the
fict of its being so easy of access.—
The land along Dunkard Creek was
nearly all leased about four years ago for
oil purposes, but on account of the de
pression in the oil market in 1851-2, and
other troubles consequent in part on the
prosecution of the war for our national
existence, but Very little was then done
and nearly all the lea;es were forfeited.
But there were a few exceptions to the
rule, the " Wylie" and " Pioneer" keep
ing possession and continuing the strug
gle until, to use a significant expression,
they "struck oil," when a new era in the
history of this country was ushered in,
and hundreds of persons from all parts
of the country rushed to " Dunkard" to
secure leases or buy property and snake
a fortune if possible. An immense
amount of capital has already been at
tracted here, and the cry is, " still they
come." New Derricks are springing up
as if by magic in all directions, and turn
your eye in any direction and it will be
greeted by the fleecy steam arising from
the new diggings.
As a consequence of this, property has
rapidly advanced in price, and since my
arrival here (less than a week since) one
thriller has been successively offered
$125,000, 150,000, 175,000 and to-day
251,000 for his farm, but each time that
the anxious purchaser concludes to give
his price, he has concluded to ask a lade
more, and I. would not be at all surprised
to soon hear of his selling fur half a
million dollars, a property which one year
since would hafe been dear at five thou.
sand. For tlfe "Kramer" well which
VMS commenced but a few mouths since,
and upon which less than ten thousand
dollars has been expended, fifty thousand
dollars are offer 'd , and one hundred thou
sand asked. I 'could "multiply theso in
stances almost i definitely, but these will
t
suffice to show the rapid iucreaee in the
valuation of property here. Having had
a tiresome ride on horse back, toolay, I
will close, but may perhaps send a few
words next week, unless I leave sooner.
Yours truly,
L. LEONA.
General Butler's Wife
[Correspondence .Providence Journal.]
Some eighteen ..r twenty years ago a
young actress, a Miss Hildreth, played
f..ir several eveaings at the Dorrance
street theatre in Providence. I happen
ed to see her in the tragedy
,of Jane
Shore. Her part was a secondary one,
that of the fr:end and confidence of Ed—
ward's beautiful favorite; but her con
ception of the character surprised me by
its originality and its impressive truth
fulness. I felt that she had great dra
matic talent, and often wondered that
her name had so antirely disappeared
from the stage. In the spring of 1549,
while visiting a friend in Lowell, I found
one morning on returning front a walk a
card front Mrs. Benjamin Butler, with
an invitation to take tea with her the
following evening. I went with my host
and hostess; no other guests were invit
ed. The name of Mrs. Benj. Butler had
for me at that time no other significance
than might have had the name of Mrs.
John Smith.
On our way to the house my host, a
Webster Whig, spoke of Mr. Butler, not
too flatteringly, as a successful lawyer.
smart but unscrupulous, ready to take up
the worst cases, and noted fur always car
rying his clients through. On entering
the parlors I was surprised to find, in the
charming and graceful lady who received
us, the dramatic friend and confidant of
Jime Shore, whose talent bad so impress
ed me at the Dor ranee street theatre.—
Mrs Butler was a young lady of Dracut,
who, fascinated by the stage and con
scious of dramatic power, had obtained
au engagement at one of the Boston thea
tres, and who was for about two years
earnestly devoted to her profession, when
Mr. Benjamin Butler proffered his heart
and hand, and won her back to (domestic
life. I found that she still loved - the art.
and prevailed on her to read to me some
of her litvorite passages of Shakespeare.
She read, I remember, the prison scene
in "Measure fur Measure," with a pas
sionate pathos that made ate half regret
that the "smart Lowell 1 wycr" had won
her away from Melpomene and all her
tragic glooms and splendors.
—lt is not what we earn, but what we
save, makes us rich. It is not what we
eat, but what. we digest, that makes us
fat. It is not what we read, but what
we rlmember, that makes us learned.
Written for the Columbia Spy
Society' in Columbia.
Mu. EDITOR :—As the Spy is " Inde
pendent, Fearless and Free," and not de
voted to politics, it may be that you will
allow me space to say a - few words con
cerning the Society of Columbia.
You are aware that there are as many
different grades of :society in this place
as there are religious denominations, and
in fact some churches form, what they
call half-a-dozen different " setts." Now
these " setts" or " cliques" are the very
things that are ruinous to the social
standard of this place. it is almost im
possible, among the young people, to
find six couple in a " sett," and if a
young Lady or Gent. associates with one
" sett" and should happen to converse
with a person of another " sett," they
are disowned. A person upon entering
society in this place, is not inquired of,
whether they are intelligent or respecta
ble, but how long is your purse ? and are
your parents wealthy ? and do you think
when they die you will be the only heir?
It•is a disgrace to any place to have so
ciety so inhumanly murdered as it is
here, and a drawback to the advance
ment of the place. A stranger visiting
here with the intention of remaining,
will naturally ask, " are the people soci
able ?" and when he receives a reply
such as, "No the place is divided in
at least twenty different classes !" do you
think he would remain, and have his
family bought up among persons that
would instill in their minds, vague no
tions of aristocracy.• A great many in
this place, consider themselves aristo
crats, and yet this aristocratic circle, is
divided in about six " setts." Can you
tell which " sett" is the aristocracy ?
On the street the remark can often be
heard, " Who was that young lady ?"
" 1 do not know, she does not move in
our "sett," and yet this same lady is
their superior in everything except
wealth. She can converse fluently on
any subject, and entertain men c f
intel
ligence, but the person who made the
above remark cannot talk about any
thing but billiards and fast horses. It is
to be hoped that something will soon
turn up to revolutionize society iu Co
lumbia. They may extend the streets,
build up wharves, rolling mills, furmaces,
get a new band, an l anything else, but
the place will never succeed as long as
the people are socially separated.

BARON Ro•rtiseittr.n, of Paris. it is
said, pos:-eses the most volumin.uts col
lection of begging letters that ally finan•
tier ever received. They forte :t com
plete series. Among the number is one
lately addressed to the Baron containing
the very tempting proposition that for
the bagatelle of fifty thousanl. francs,
the writer would engage to show how he
could prolong his life to the age of one
hundred and fifty years. The following
is the Baron's reply :
"Slit:—lt has lrequentlf happened to
me to be threatened with death if I did
not give a sum of money. You arc cer
tainly the first that has ever asked me
for it in proposing to prolong my life.—
Your preposition is, without doubt, far
better and more humane. But my re
ligion teaches me that we are all under
the hand of Gol, and I will not do any
thing to withdraw myself from his de
crees. My refusal. morover, does nut in
any way attack your discovery, from
which you will nut fail, I hope, to profit
yourself. Regretting that I cannot ac
cede to your proposal, I sincerely con
gratulate you on the one hundred and

LAW AND AIEDICINE.—On a time a
question arose in the University of Cam
bridge, between the doctors of law and
the doctors of medicine, as to which
ought to take precedence of the other on
public occasions. It was referred to the
Chancellor, who facetiously inquired
whether the thief or the luta:pia,' pre
ceded at an execution, and being told
that the thief usually took the prece
dence on such occasions, "well, then,"
he replied, "let the doctors in law have
the precedence, and the doctors of medi
cine bo next in rank." This humorous
observation set the point in dispute at
rest.

my usual course, to express my full con
viction that, for general debility of the dyd

is asap and voluble preparation. In some
coses it may fail; hut usually, I doubt not,
it will be very beneficial to those who suf
fer front the above cause.
