CELEBRATION OF 8T. 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

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

some remarks in regard to the objects of
the celebration. From thence it proceeded

from thence to the Saxton House, to partake

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

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.

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

execution.

- _.Jl Coon OpFBATtor.?Colonel B ,
of theAVIace&sih Eighteenth Volunteers,
& son of ex-Governor B ?, of New
York, is % brave officer, and beloved bv
his entire command.
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

We should not call a man a liar because
he has told one lie, but he isn't a
man of truth.
