JOHN'S DAY AT BXAUFOBT, S. ? _ yjn _ ' X St. John's day, (the 24th,) was celebrated at Beaufort by the Masons of this Department in a very interesting manner, and we regret our inability, on account erf & press of advertizing and * other matter, to give an earner account. But we consider the demonstration of sufficient importance to report even at this late day, and we therefore give an outline of the exercises, somewhat piore brief, however, than we had originally intended. THE CELEBRATION' was gotten up by the Masons of Beaufort, but invitations were extended to all the members of the Fraternity in the Department and the fleet. The bpetfcpeto at Beaufort were very active in thdir preparations for the affair, and the arrangements were all made in a most creditable manner. THE STEAMER WTOMINO, Capt. Parker, carried up a large delegation of Masons from this vicinity.; The MMftnlp mlnra wore hoisted at the fore at starting. On arriving at Beaufoft,, the party were received by the brethren at the Magnolia House, and with the band of the 1st Michigan Regiment were escorted to the lodge-room on Bay street, where some time was occupied In preparation for THE PJtOCESBiOX. This was composed as follows :i M Snrgeon Van Ittep, G^axi Marahnk : " Band oi.the l*t Mich. Regt. ft .' Bro. Dudley, of HiJton Head, the oldest Mason present, carrying the Holy Bible. Entered Apprentices. Fellow Craftsmen. Master Masons. Bros. Hall and Huber, Wardens. R. W. Bro. Parker, Deputy "Grand , Master of the State. f j"14 . ... Represen t&ti ves of Royal Arch Chapters, Companion Sax ton acting as High Priest. The brethren were in regalia, ahd the procession was a very imposing one. It was permitted, with other demonstrations requiring such authority, by order of Deputy Grand Master Parker Jt/ , THE UN'S OJ MARCH r^" was through Bay and Eight straais to UoWab Imniu onil (mm that trt (Via kJOAWU ?VUUVJ WMV* <HW? w mv Soldiers' Mission Chapel There an address was delivered by Bro.

From thence it proceeded to the Beaufort Garden, where falme RT ROYAL, S.C., TH 1 z,, "" " 7 ^ light refreshments were partaken o? and ( from thence to the Saxton House, to partake tf a DINNKtt. This was gotten up by Messrs. Kennison and Hailett in splendid style, with all the substantial and luxuries of the season. A considerable time was occupied in discussing the fare, after which came SENTIMENTS, REMARKS, &C. These we have not space for reporting . 1*11 _1 l A. .1 - I i... in mil, anu anyiuing oui an emuoraie report would do injustice to them. Most of the sentiments were very appropriate, and there were responses by 11. W. Bro. Parker, Companions Saxton, (Military Governor,) and Hall, (Provost Marshal Gen.) and Bros. Huber, Burger, isuit of itki Departuieuvj Harris, Van Etten, and many others. Companion Hall, in some eloquent remarks, spoke of our brethren who were our enemies? enemies because rebels in arms, and violators of our laws?and said that when this strife is over, and they are in distress, they would be again known as brothers. In this connection he proposed the health of it W. Bro. Albert G. Mackey, Past Grand Master of the State, and said that no man had made more sacrifices in this war, In acts of Masonic charity tlian lie, although apparently espoused to the rebe cause. He had never been appealed to in vain, and usunllv anticinated all annli cations; and the lessons of charity he had given should be written in letters of goM. """ The exercises lasted till a late hour, and every one was much pleased with all the features of the celebration. MOSOX1C ORO1X12 AT ION FOR HILTOX I1F.AD. We learn that it is designed to soon issue a call for a meeting of the Masonic Fraternity here, to form an open organization, for better acquaintance and the more effective carrying out of the charitable and other objects of the Order. The idea seems to be generally approved, and if it could, be carried out, we believe 1,1 u. i. .11 nr. vvuuiu uc ?u;c|iiauic lu ait. iwu uo?c several times suggested some form of organization* and we believe this is the only practicable one at present. As soon, as -tnrcutnsiaDcei w&^adnfilj *e under-' stand it is designed to put this phut in execution. LIST OP RXBSL P1IWIXR8 TO BS PLACED VXDE& REBEL FIRE.

During the siege of Yicksburg, officer# as well as privates befcame careles* of dress, and none more so than Col. B , and he saextremely careless that the line officers took the matter in hand, and prevailed upon the Colonel to "dress up/' as the Eighteenth had so distinguished itself in battle, it was shrely to be one of the " honored" to enter the citv proper after the fell, and " the boys" dicl not care to be ashamed of their colonel's external appearance on such an occasion. Accordingly the return boat brought a blue suit "tit*for a colonel." The line officers, elated at the change of dress, gave a supper in honor of the event. Colonel B?? was seated at the head of the table. During the feast a '""g J~*?i*^*' T~"il fTinnr- 1 nlrlrg *-?r way up on the sleeve of the colonel's new coat, and his attention being called to it, he very coolly for a moment viewed it,as if for a grand strategic movement, when he deliberately unbuttoned his vest, seized the " grayback" netween his thumb and finger, an4 plunged it inside his vest, exclaiming with an oath as he did so: " Don't you know your place ? Go back where yon belong!" Those who know the colonel can imagine the effect. A Model Fellow.?A correspondent in Kickapoo, Illinois, saysIn the western part of the state there lives a queer stick by the name of Starkey, who works for the farmers round about when he works at alL Upon one occasion he hired to an Englishman who usually kept two or three nired men. Starkey made his appearance in due season for breakfast, and the Englishman, as taual, brought, up from the cellar the morning's rations of whiskey In a mug?what he supposed sufficient for " all hands." In consideration of Starkey's being the "new hand" he handed him the mug first. Starkey, nothing loth, drained it without stopping to take breath. The Englishman, amazed at the fellow's " capacity," said, ironically: "Have some more, Mr. Starkey?" " Ob, no," said Starkey, innocently; "I never takes big drams, like some folks!" Artificial Raixbow.?There has lately been contrived for the French theatre * - %a! mu ? to memuu ui uimauug me rauuuuw. me Inventor employs an electric light The first lenses Qt his optical apparatus render the rays from this source parallel* and transmit (hem through a rainbow-shaped hole inascreen to i double convex lens of veflt short fccus, from which they pass to a prism, and emerge with sufficient divergence to make an effective rainbow on a screen about six yards off. This rainbow is said to be brilliant* even when the whole scene is lit up. We should not call a man a liar because he has told one lie, but he isn't a man of truth. .. j :'
