Phinisy. locaiT matters: Air iKfKRBSTtN'o Ceuemony.—The Savannah Daily Adcertiir, of Juno 23rd, lUtu that on Thursday night an extra meeting of Solomon's Lodge, No. 1, of that city, was called for the purpose of receiving a chair, made from the oak at Salisbury, under which, tradition informs us, General Oglethorpe convened tho first Masonic Lodge in the Province of Georgia. The gift Iwas from Hon. Charles C. Jones, jr., for merly Mayor of Savannah, now residing in kew Yor\, whose birthplace and early asso ciations were in the immediate vicinity of ■>a time-honored spot. The tree, after Nourishing for many years, gradually yield- I to the inevitable law of decay, and now lot a vestige remains to mark the spot of its Inner existence. ■ The Lodge was opened in the E.\ A.*, de lee, with over one hundred brethren pros it from some twenty different Lodges, rep resenting ten of the United States and ■ngland. After the Lodge had been opened, le Committee of Arrangements eseorted last Master R. D. Arnold into the Lodge, Irho was received with Masonic honors, krother Estill, chairman of the lommitteo, introduced Dr. Arnold as the irator of the occasion, in a very appropriate banner, after which he was escorted to tho last, and delivered a neat and suitable ad less, for which we have no room. | Bro. Richard T. Turner, W.\M.\ of tho bodge, responded in brief and appropriate binarks, alluding to the fact that Solomon’s lodge was the oddest in the State, and with Intone or two exceptions, in the entire bmntry. Instituted by Oglethorpe himself, Ider the title of King Solomon’s Lodge, I career has been onward and upward. Id be trusted it would continue to do Inor to the memory of its great founder, lie Bible presented by General Oglethorpe Is ever look upon as a sacred relic, and it luld be the care and pride of tho Lodgo to Herish this chair also with a peculiar in lost. Tho W.\M.\ alluded in a feeling to his connection for thirty years Bth tho Lodge (of which, by the way, ho Hfc been for sorao fifteen or sixteen years lister), and concluded by promising to Hsservo this relic with care so long as he plained a member of tho Lodge, and to Hnd it down to bis successors as a me- Into of one who had done so much for in Georgia. Hkfter some further business the Lodge He closed. Ha. Matter of Fact Correspondent.— pinions vary. A friend of mine, says an has been out West, and has —not tho elephant, but the Indian, and been chased by him. Commenting fact, he writes: ‘‘Much has been by poets and romantic young ladies Hit the picturesque aspect and the noble of an untamed, untameable warrior of and far bo it from me to gainsay An Indian is a noble spectacle —in or at a safe distance; hut when spectacle,’ in company with a other ‘noble spectacles,’ is moving his in your direction, and you have tall walking in order to keep substance on the summit of all his nobility Vanishes, and ; .|He in him only a painted, grea3y mis- who will, if you give him a chance, hair with tho same Christian composed and most sereno, with ho would ask another ‘spectacle’ fur more of that baked dog.’ I used to tho poets; now the sight of an HLn gives ine a cramp in tho stomach.» Etiquette. —The Yankee who saw a live lloosior has again his mother, telling her his expe as follows : “Western peoplo aro etiquette. You can’t tell a man lies without fighting. A feirdays Ipman was telling two of his neigh-, in my hearing a pretty large story. ‘Stranger, that’s a whopper.’ Says t IB‘Lay there, stranger.’ And in tho ‘ldling of an eye, I found myself in a a perfect quadruped. Upon another says Ito a man I never saw be as a woman passed : ‘That isn’t a of Western women, is it?’ Says aro afraid of lever and ague, aint ‘Very much,’ says I. ‘Well,’ re he, ‘that lady is my wife, and if you H apologise in two minutes, on the of a gentleman, I swear that tho two which ho had cocked in his hands curo y° u disordor entirely. fear, stranger.’ ” Result. —An active member of ration Circle, in Brooklyn, who pos ld a homestead a fortnight ago, bold it lad invested tho proceeds in tho Fenian llo is now penniless, and dependent daily labor for his daily bread.

WfUTsIkAUTES OF THE SoUTII.— Wo take plcasuro in publishing the follow ing letter and circular, and Invite to them the attention, not only of the Israelites,but of the whoio people of tho South. The cause is ©no in which all feel an interest, and all should delight to assist in. It is of no importaaon whether our soldiers were Christians or Israelites; they .Were all our relatives, our friends, our defenders, aud we should never rufuse tho tribute of respect to all their memories. Our Hebrew fellow citisens took an honorable part in the war. Their arms did battle for our cause ; their blood flowed freely in its defence; and tbeir lives were sacrificed in its behalf. In the Richmond Cemetery numbers of them are interred; and it is to take care of the graves of these that the la lio3 4)f the Israel itish faith in that oity have organised an Association', under the style and title of “The Hebrew Ladies’ Memorial Associa tion.” Mr. Lewis Levy, one of our most re spected citizens, and President of the He brew congregation of Augusta, has been ap pointed Agent for this city and vicinity, and will be pleased to receive contributions for the object named. Again, oommendiag the subject to the consideration and liberal ity of our citizens, we append extraots from the letter and the wholo of tho circular, as follows : Richmond, Va , June 17, ISGG. Mr. Levy — Dear Sir : The printed Me morial which accompanies this will suffi ciently explain the object of the Associa tion which I have the honor to represent; but it has been deemed necessary, for tho speedy accomplishment of that object, that some well-known and reliable persons in tho various Southern cities bo requested to act for and with us. We thiDk if the Memorial be presented to tho notice of individuals by some one whom they know and respect, it will be more likely to moot with success. We there fore request you to lend us your aid, and we feel satisfied that your be9t efforts will be used to further our undertaking ; for it is a cause which must appeal to every Southern heart. You will please be as prompt and energetic as you conveniently can, it being our wish to carry into effect as quickly as possible what wo propose doing. Mrs. Abraham Levy. TO THE ISRAELITES OF THE SOUTH. Richmond, Va., .Tune sth, 18(16. While the woyld yet rings with the nar rative of a brave people’s struggle for inde pendence, and* while the story of the hard ships so nobly endured for Liberty’s sake is yet a theme but half exhausted, tho count less graves of the myriads of heroes who spilled their noble blood in defence of that glorious cause, lie neglected, not alone un marked by tablet or sculptcred urn, but literally vanishing before the relentless finger of Time. Within the past four weeks, there heve been formed, by the Ladies of Richmond, two Associations, viz: The “Hollywoood” and the “Onkwood,” having for their object the care and renovation of the soldiers’ graves in those Cemeteries. Cotemporancously with the above, we, tho Hebrew Ladies, formed a similar Asso ciation, with the view of caring for the graves of Jewish soldiers; which, of oourse. would not bo embraced to the work oi either of tho first named Societies. In our own Cemotery repose, alas! tho the sacred remains of many a loved brother, son, and husband, to whose relatives, in the far Sunny South, it would be a solace to know that the pious duty of preserving from decay the last resting place of their lost ones, although denied to them to per form, is yet sacredly fulfilled by the mem bers of the “Hebrew Ladies’ Memorial As sociation.” It is our intention to mound and turf epch grave, and to place at the head of each a simple stone, inscribod with name, State, and time and place of death ; subsequently, to rear a monument commemorative of their brave deeds. In order, however, to successfully accom plish our object, we need some pecuniary assistance. Our scant and somewhat needy community, already so heavily taxed, has done well; but we find “this work is too great for us;” therefore, with a full confi dence in the sj’inpathy and co-operation of onr people else>vhere, we make this appeal for aid, well knowing that as Israelites and true patriots, they will not refuse to assist in rearing a monument which shall serve not only to commemorate tho bravery of our dead, but the gratitude and admiration of the living, for those who so nobly per ished in what wo deemed a just and right eous cause; and while as Israelites we mourn the uutimely loss of our loved ones, it will be a grateful reflection that they suffered not their country to call in vain. In time to come, when our grief shall hare become, iu a measure, silenced, and when the malicious tongue of slander, ever so ready to assail Israel, shall be raised against us, then, with a feeling of mournful pride, will we point to this monument and say, “ There is our reply.” Mrs. Abraham Levy, Corresponding Secretary of the Hcbrow Ladies’ Memorial Association. Contributions can bo forwarded to Mrs. Abraham Levy, Box 289, Richmond, Va. A Sabbath School Superintendent, after inveighing against the “pernicious practice” which he said some well-inten tioned persons indulge in of telling amusins stories to children, went on to give hit scholars something moro excellent, and which should in no manner create amuse ment. Ho would tell them about Peter. “And who was Peter ?” ho asked. No reply. “What!” ho exclaimed, “can none of you tell me who Peter was ?” At lant a little boy, about four years old, held up his hand in token of knowledge on tho subject. “There is a boy—a little boj 7 —who can tell me who Peter was,” said the superinten dent, looking reprovingly at tho larger children. “Now, my son, tell who Peter was “Peter, Peter, pumpkin cater, Had a wifo and couldn’t keep her,” was the triumphant response.
