[The equestrian statue of Washington, in Rich

other 'Virginians, illustrious in history us patri

of Chief Justice 3larshall—was only raised to its
place during the past summer, and the ceremo

sharp, stinging lines. We are ignorant of their
authorship, but their merits are such that any

I will take up the mortgage, Sinire Johns."
Livid and trernhhag with passion,
Johns was compelled to yield the mort
gage, and execute the usual release.
There was no trace to the violent pas
sion to which the Squire gave free license,
when the next evening he drove up to
Sanford's. He looked happy and smiling.
There was a queer little s m il e on Millie
Warner's face as she saw him through the
closed blinds. It was a little ominous
that he was compelled to wait in the par
lor Mune, live, ten, fifteen minutes. Still
more ominous that she came in at last,
distant and unsmilin t ,‘ , . Still be could
hardly believe he beard arightlithen to his
suit she gave a prompt and unemnpromis
log "no.' He urged ; Jails was dm. He
threatened ; she flashed out, bravegad

and felt, and spurned him and his suit
with scorn and loathing.
"Such a threat to a girl is worthy of
you! of a piece with your conduct to the

"To the Hazewella Whatdo you know
about them ? Perhaps you are the one
who loaned the money to them ?"
"Yes, it was me. I went in there for
shelter from the storm. I heard it all;
every word."
The Squire muttered curses low and
deep, but Millie did not stay to hear them.
She only saw him ride away, with that
same queer little smile on her face.
Squire Johns rode a long distance out
of his way, six moths later, to avoid a
wedding party just returning from
church—Ben ilazewell and Millie his
wife—which he came very near blunder
ing upon.
THE HORRORS OF MASONRY
If our readers, and especially those who
have ever been initiated into the myste
ries of Masonry, wish to enjoy a good
laugh. let them read the following chap
ter which we take the liberty to extract
from a very readable and amusing book,
entitled " WALks ABOUT CHICAGO."'
The noble, enterprising, and moral
Christians who met in convention in Chi
cago, for the purpose of kicking over Ma
sonry, have my profound sympathies.
Why I thus sympathize with their efforts,
I shall proceed to relate :
Out in a smiling little railway town
there can be seen, to day, the remains of
a man. He uow, in his reduced condi
tion, weighs only 230. Had not there
happened to him the fearful event which
11,111 about to narrate, he might now
weigh as much us a ton, or as the editress
of the Aguathr.
It was two years ago that this citizen
became possessed with the righteous idea
that Masonry is a blight, a wilt, a blast.
After carefully examining the matter, he
felt himself called upon to undertake a
crusade against the afflicting organization.
After consulting with several of his friends
he concluded to join the order, get its se
crets, and then annihilate it by revealing
them.
Bidding a tearful farewell to his loving
wife, and clasping her in a fund, it might
be a last embrace, he started on his pil
grimage.
going boldly to a lodge room, he knock
ed loudly at the door, and was bidden to
enter. lie went in.
At that precise moment, the air was
rent, and the earth shaken by a terrific
burst of thunder. His knees smote to
gether, as this menacing roar tore thro'
his ear; but he pressed forward, nerved by
a high sense of duty.
It was noon of the following day. The
single street of the little village was lined
with anxious faces. Every man, woman,
and child had turned out to discuss the
fate of him who bad gone the night be
fore to discover and reveal the secrets of
Masonry. His frenzied wife, clasping an
infant in either arm, tearing her dishev
eled hair with her hands, ran hither and
thither, like a maniac, in search of her
loved and lost.
Since the time of his departure, he had
not been seen or heard of. It Was believ
ed that he had fallen a victim to the fury
of the conspirators whom he had under
taken to expose.
Gradually the women, and the children
and the men, gathered in front of the
gloomy pile which was believed,to contain
the penetralia in which met the dread Ma
some order. With upturned faces, and
anxious hearts. they gazed at its closed
shutters. each of which seemed the repos
itory of some awful secret.
Suddenly the front . doors opened, and
then, propelled by a tremendous kick,
there shot into the streets a horrid form
It, was that ‘f the List hnsband ; but,
oh ! how changed ! He was neither na
ked nor clad, for upon his left foot was a
slipper ; upon his right, a stocking ;
around his neck, a noose with a dangling
comb!
11 came down the steps nt a head long
pace. His eyes were bloodshot, and were
lighted with a glance of mortal terror. As
reached the side walk he recovered
him..elf, and looked wildly around.
Thus he stood for live minutes, and
then a woman covered her face with her
apron. and the other women, a few min
utes later. followed her example.
Then he gave a demoniacal yell, and
charCe•d through the crowd. ITp the
street he tore like a maddened hull, yell
ing at every jump! as though punched
with a red hot iron.
The entire population started in put
suit He kept on for three days, and then
run himself into the ground, and was cap
tared. He was found to he an idiot. lie
asserted that his name was Solomon Abiff,
and he wanted an acacia set out in his
ear.
rTo day this victim of Masonic cruelty
wanders about. aimless and hopeless. He
often takes somebody else's wife and child
ren for Ills on n. He is a melancholy wreck,
and his friends have detennined, as a last
resort, to secure him a consul sh ip to some
foreign nation.
Does not this affecting incident prove
the nefarious character of Masonry, be
yond all dispute ?
Some years ago I knew of a most foul
murder baing committed. A Mason was
arrested for the crime. He was not con
victed.
It was proved that he was 500 miles
away at the time, and that the murdered
mail was killed by somebody rise. But
what of that ? Who doubts that he
escaped because he was a Mason ?
I knew another case which shows the
devilish disposition of Masons. A prom
inent married man applied to a friend
whom he supposed to be a Mason, for the
degrees. The latter got together six oth
ers, and organized a plan to receive the
applicant -
The latter was received on the night in
question, in the " lodge room. , Blue
lights burned, and solemn gongs roared,
while the seven conspirators groaned por
tentionsly in chorus. •
And then ther,applicant was blindfolded
and led over one turned up table, across
twelve inverted chairs, tripped over seven

ter, slid down one soaped board, against
the grain, and was then brought up to be
examined.
Sworn ou an authenticated copy of
Munchausen, to tell the truth, he was in
terrogated by the G. R. J., who was the
village physician.
" Confess," said the hitter, " all your
sins. If there be one crime on your con
science, you must reveal it. On your
honor, on your solemn oath ; have yon
ever done aught to wrong the marital re
lations of any citizen of this village ?"
" Must I answer this question ?" said
the shrinking candidate.
" You must, would you ever pass be
neath the Royal Arch," solemnly respon
ded Dr. R. " Answer, now, upon your
fearful oath."
" No one. then, exc..pt--eicept—in the
case of Dr. It. reluctantly confessed tne
candidate.
Suddenly Dr. R. launched out his right
hand, and " handed" the candidate "one'
on his smeller. Then the latter tore off
his bandage, and being game he respon
ded with his left. Then the two clinched,
and fought all over the one table and the
twelve chairs ; four times up and down
the soaped board, and in and out every
tub of water, for four hours and thirty
eight minutes. Both were licked so badly
that they had to be carried home on blan
keta.
A snit fur divorce followed, and Dr. R.
and Mrs. took separate lodgings.
This heart rending occurrence exempli
fies, further, the atrocious character of
Masonry. It is seen that Masonry is a
convenient garb in which men not Ma
sons may perpetuate inhumanities and
nameless crimes. I charge upon Mason
ry the breaking up of the happy family of
Dr. R., by separating him from a wife who
loved wisely, and two well.
As a further proof of the infamous
character of these Morgan killers, I will
expose sonic of their origies which ocurr
ed at Haas's Park, near the city of Chica
go.
St. John's day is observed by these peo
ple who killed NI organ. Morgan is a man
who was killed in time to carry an elec
tion. His initials are G. K, (hAud
Enough Morgan.
The men who killed Morgan had red
plumes in their hats, at Haas's Park.
which indicated their bloody character.
They also all had swords. They are the
same kind of swords with which G. E.
Morgan was slaughtered with. They also
carried several immense poles, which are
pointed at one end. These poles are em
ployed for the purpose of marking spots
to be used fur the graves of those whom
the order slaughters.
A good many of the men had engrav
ings of skulls on their breasts. '1 hese
are accurate likenesses of theskulls of IMAI
who have been murdered by the Masons.
When a Mason has killed three men , he is
entitled to wear a likeness of his victims'
heads, and to take the degree known as
Golgotha.
Tins is the true explanation of these
skull badges. Of course the Masons do
not own iL They pretend that they wore
these skulls on account of the wet weather.
They said a flood might come up, and
they wanted to be ready to skull them
selves to dry laud.
Each of them had the number 3'3 among
his insignia. This is the number which
each of them is sworn to kill.
The Masonic performances at Haas's
Park were of a sinister character. How
many men and women were slaughtered
during the origies of the day, and buried
among the shadows, no one, unless a
member of the anti Masonic societies, will
ever know. One man not a Mason was
discovered among the crowd. An hour
later he was found prone on his buck be
hind a tent. He was dead, yes. dead
drunk.
Some of the ceremonies of the saturnal
ia were horrifying. One Druidical look
ing Mason, with a lung, grey beard. and
lurid spectacles, read something from a
roll of manuscript. As he did so he was
surrounded bur anauditory that occupied
itself with weird and fantastic ceremoni
als. His words seemed to fill than with
a strange power. Unearthly - sounds tilled
the building, in which one could distin
guish gurglings like that of blood from
gashed throats, or the flow of champagne
from bottles. The air was filled with
whizzing pellets the size of corks. Bursts
of donniniseal laughter tore through the
din. The further the speaker NI ith the lu
rid specisoles proceeded, the louder grew
the clamor.
It was a tine address—probably. It
was a ceremonial said to be illustrative of
the condition of the Masons who built the
tower of Babel.
Some of the Masonic rite.; are peculiar.
As every thing about the craft has some
mathematical connection, the triangle,
the square, the pentagon, etc., were sym
bolized. The circle was represented by
six small rings about the size of a silver
dollar. A Masonic candidate would take
these rings and attempt to throw them,
one at a time, over spikes driven in a
board. To take one of these degrees costs
twenty tire cents. If the candidate threw
one of the rings around one of the spikes,
he was adjudged worthy and well quali
fied.
Another degree, which was conferred
upon a good many, was one in which the
candidates stood in rows, and poured an
amber colored fluid, with a creamy sur
face, into their opened mouths. These
degrees cost five cents each. One man
wok forty two of these during the after
noon. lie was then the highest Mason
on the gronnd, except a thermometer.
There was a thermometer on the ground
that had reached the 85th degree.
Esrey once in a while would be heard
a loud exclamation. It came from some
body who was being murdered. In sev
eral cases of which I was a witness, these
fell victims of Masonic vengeance were
outsiders, who were disposed of by being
shot in the neck.
Lovely women were there,
-who mingled
with theAescendantsof men who. killed
Morgan.as freely as if they Inul been pi
ons members of tine liming Men's Chris
tian Association. A woman is a mystery.
Tier liking for Masonry can only be ex
plained on the ground that it is compos
ed exclusively of men. In loving Mason
ry, she is engaged in a sort of wholesale
business of the affections.
The sexton of the order is amen named
Berry. He has charge of the Berry-al ser
f vices. It has its Bailey, whioh will hold
more than any other institution of the
kind in existence.
And all this time the killing was going
on ahont the encampment. Just how ma
ny were slaughtered will not be known
with certainty until the next meeting of
the anti Masonic Convention.
Mrs. Livermore is tut a member. She
stated in a late speech' that'when she was
born she turned her face to the wall and
wept because she was a girl, and was,
therefore, forever debarred from being a
Mason and obtaining her rites.
There were several cases of missing
men, which shows the true character of
Masonry. One woman missed her hus
band. They had been lot,g married ; and
she had letuned to like him. And now
he was gone. She commenced a frantio
search. She found him in a tent,*conver
sing in low, impassioned tones with a wo
man younger and better looking than her
self. Her heart was broken at the Biel!
Such are the doings of Masonry 1
They had what was called au encamp
ment. A Mason in camp meant one who
was engaged in something horrible, as
can be proved by the proceedings of the
anti-secret national convention. The lat
ter had some -camps. These scamps at
Farwell Hail differed from those scamps at
Haas's Park.

tack began with buzzing in the ears, lif
ficulty in breathing, and violent palpita
tions of the heart. The pulse rose to one

for food ensued, and when Herr Von
Tschudi tried to force himself to eat, the
attempt to lift a spoon to his mouth was
intolerably painful. A few spoonsful of
an aromatic tea seemed to produce a con

of procuring any relief consisted in snick

THE STORY OF ISLAND.—There is
an old story in Nature about an island ly
ing in the route of ships between Austral
ia and China. Though called " Pleasant
Island." it. had previous to 1865. on ac
count of the conduct of the natives. a very
bad reputation. In that year a ship cap

favorabie report of it, as‘vell as news that
there was an Englishman among the na

and told him that her husband was no

his leisure hours away from home, and
that, in short, his conduct was rendering
her miserable.
"I thought, sir," said she, "as you are a
good and wise man, perhaps you would
advise me what to do, that I might re
claim my husband."
