"4II. TbraM.I srs Away." Juit a quarter mt a century sgo secret society, known as the Hot, of Mttlttt, ttprsng suddenly into existence in the city of New Orlottm Tbe or igtita) object of the orgsuixatinn Wss the oftptuTO of Cuba, and msny prom inent uiiiitary men cf the Smith were tbe leading ipirits in the movement. For reasons which the writer is not at liberty to divulge, the filihimtrriog pUnn of the Order were abruptly squelched, aud soon tbsraafter a well known newspaper man, who had been initiated, conceived the idea t.f making "some fun for the boys." The whole buaineas of initiation, etc, was trans formed into a series of the most -tu-pendua sells, prsctiesl jokes snd out rageously comical proceedings ever dtssmed of. Tl e Order apread rapidly all over tbe Union. It was generally believed by tbe outside public that the Sons of Ms It a wss a benevolent society, and to foater thia belief frequent lengthy notices of charitable deeds performed by tbe Order were pubtiabed in tbe newapapera all or.r the land. Meet ings were held weekly, and there was so mucb solid fun to be enjoyed that nothing abort of death in the family would deter a Member from attending ; therefore, iu many nieces, tbe member ship was so great that the utmost dif ficulty was esperienced in obtaining lodge rooms of u flic nt capacity. Candidates for initiation were usher ed into tbe bait where those who were already members were artanged in rows, escb covered from bead to foot with a white or black gown, in which was cut small boles for tbe eyes snd mouth. With this garment on tbe ilentity of tbe wearer was perfectly concealed, and the candidates who were initiated at one time did not know whether they were in tbe banda of friends or strsogers. To escb candidate tbe " Master of Ceremonies'' in a moat impressive and pleasing manner, stated the objects of tbe order sod told bow the brother hood came together with one aim and one understanding. "We are bound together," be said, "by tbe ties of love, confidence sod charity for one soother, strengthened ami solidified br tbe ce meal of confession. We open up the secrete of our hearts In tbe bearing and presence tf each ether. We are all sinful crest ure. and confession is good for the soul. Our good deeds speak for themselves, and our bad deeds are re corded, and in due time these tecorda re burned sod the aabea am alt thst remain of a dead en 4 forgotten past." Then the candidate was asked if he was willing to leave tbe sinful world behind, aud enter upon the new life. An affirmative anawer and the initia tion beiran. He wss immediately blind folded, led to a atep-ladder. snd told to ascend and sest himself on tbe top stair with arma folded. This was tbe position each bad to occupy while undergoing the ordeal of a "confession" of bis misdeeds. He would be led along by sdroit questioning until be made whet wss regarded as a "clean breast" of his moral shortcomings. When a paiticularly rich or unexpect ed admission vat pumped out ot htm, a dead, sepulchral voice solemnly exclaim ed : "Re-c-o-r-d it." And immediately a heavy blow was struck upon s big drum to drown ths irrepressible laughter. If a candidate gave evidence of a do sire to conceal anything, he was given to understand that the inner secrets of his soul were known to the Order, sud to hesitate to giving them would be an unpardonable crime in the eyes of tbe brotherhood. This would suffice for many, but the majority would, of course hold out and refuse to answer some in delicate question, liable to lead into a ehannel that might involve him in a disagreeable confesaion. And all though this was exactly what wss aim ed at. In such cssea an iqtimate friend of tbe candidate's would pass tip to the Master of Cermonies on a slip of paper a point or two in some questionable transaction of the spplcant's life, and this would prove the key to unlock th secret recesses of his heart. Then would the master say, in a tone of re buke : "The records of the Order show that upon such a day, in ouch a year, while you were in the city of Cincinnati you did thus snd so. Then in a tone mildle expostutatory he continued : "My friend would I could call you brother as I have Raid before, all your misdeeds are known to the Order to which you are seeking admission. While crossing the portalfl which sep arate our brotherhood from a wicked and ainful world, and while about en tering upon a iie,w life, and breathing a purer atmosphere, you have ungrate fully tried todeceiveue. For this you are to be punish ed and iLr ust lack into the wickedr.csa you arc bo loath to leave behind. "Sir Knight, summon the Council of ten and take the recreant before that tribunal for punishment." Than to the cnndidate, iu a sadden ed tone of voice : "Sir, there ia but ot.e way in which you cau reqVem yourself in the eyes of the hretberhood -make a full and com plete confeasion." The feeling that their aecrsts might sotually be in K)ssessibu of the brother hood, and an indefinable dread of what that council of ten miaht do in the way o? punishment, iuvnrially unlocked the mouth, and some of the most sedate citizens men of good character and standing wore forced to own up to more trsuagresaions thsn they would rti to have put in print. - t he candidate was thsn asked if bt could swim. If l.e answered in the affirmative tbe feply was ! "Let us see you." If in the negative the an awer was : "We will teach you." Still blind folded, he was matched to a far corner of the room where a stream ef wster from a faucet kept up the de lusion of a prospective bath and com manded to diarobe for tbe plunge. Four strong brothers then seized him. and with a toss placed him with but stMtuscb restiug on the top of s high steol and totd him to strike out.' The delusion waa so great that the poor vi i mi would kick and paw tbe air, and make the moat ridiculout exeriious imsginsble. Although it wss a dry bath, the new. iWgtd brother had tC 1 Msl through the drying machine. This was a high, narrow box just high enoogb aud wide enough for a man to stand upright in. When be was in there slat were . inserted to keep him in poattton white bs wss going through the drying pro. Oea. The box was hung on a pivot between two upright bars, and bad at tached to ths side a crank, by which it could be readily aud quite i.pidly ie volved. And this waa '. one of tbe Utile trials which the iiMumie eteker after the toystcriYs 'c-f Malta hd to Undergo. lin w ahulrd ap'.nd and round perwndiculat Jy, head ovr hreis and beets over bead, first quite slow sud then with gradually increasing ased, until tbe breath of the hntusu piouellor gave out. The frightened fellow was then removed to an eaav cbtir to uke a Asj.;, whilf further questb were pro- soonded to him, and the sonorous "K r v - r i it V resounded through the hall after each cf bis answers. He w then told to pnqtae for this "rough, rugged rued." He wna then placed on all fours, and by prodding from the rear, forced to crawl through a long iron boiler on which the men were hammering ; thence up a rough incline to tbe top of a pedoatal twelve or fifteen feet high, from which he was shoved into a Urge blssfket made oi sail cloth, with hand-holds for ten men on each aide. Then was sent flying to the oeilirg. Down be would come snd up be would go st the rate of thirty times in sixty seconds, and sich a shaking up as tbe oor fallow experi enced cannot be realised by those who have not been similarly favcred. And thus "initiation" continued un til tbe recourses of the lodge were ex hausted, one grand aell following an other ia rsnid succession, each one more stupendous than the one proceed ing. Finally as a grand wind up. the candidate waa informed that in view of tbe fact that he bad aufTered so many indignities and passed through such a trying ordeal, the lodge had decided to confer upon him the honotary title of tf. R. J. A Judge, or Colonel, (len- pral So-.nd-so havinc resigned the . 0 v position in his favor. With a lengthy and florid apsech from tbe master of ceremonies, and eH deal of adulation and mock tokens of respect from the now unmasked mem bers of the Order, the candidate was nriiscnted with bis credentials, which it eras made obligatory upon him should fie immediately opened and examined. Hastily the "Great Saal !" of the order r was broken, the certificate taken from thn nv one snd oneued. and the, vic- 1 7 I I tim would diu'jovpr he picture of iackasri in bold relief, with various ac coutrements aud accomplishments, and would pooket hta credentials and cha grin amid the roar of the frolicsome gang that surrounded him. This expose could be greatly extend ed, but enough has been given to let f those in Louisville, who were members of the "noble order" know that one o the O. R. J. A's. has been "giving away" their ctissedness.

Rust in wheat may be censed by excess of heat snd moisture, making a too sudden flow of sap which cannot be properly elaborated. A New York farmer claims that an sere of Hubbard squashes will fatten several more hogs tban an sere ef corn. This may be true, hut many farmers who can raise corn successful I v, might Dot succeed with squashes, which, owiog to insects snd bugs, sre a much more uncertain crop than tbe former. A farmer whose milk wss seized snd emptied by tbe "Spilling Committee" during the milk war last Spring brought suit against the parties who were active in spilling bis milk.

Tbe amount of gold coined et tbe Philadelphia Mint during tbe past year was fourteen tons, (he value of which was $7,729,982.50. The whole number of gold oins turned out was 94 1 ,008. There were 18,798,070 silver coins produced, weighing 302 tons and valued st $12,325,470.15. There were also 251 tone of smsli coins, from j en nies to nickels, manufactured, valued at $1,428,307.10. The law allows for waste on tbe fourteen tons of gold $32,018.33, while the actual waste vi, only $20.77. On tbe above sraooct of silver tbe legal waste would be $57,- 293 01, while the actual waste was only $K09.33.
