Freem asons In Turkey.

Although Freemasonry has for more than thirty
years been generally supposed to exist among the
Mohammedans, and traces of it were found in
Turkey by the Russian officers after the cam
paign of 1929, yet they were too slight to prove
the fact; and it is only within the last few wears
that it was satisfactorily demonstrated by a Ger
man Freemason CHANGING to pass through Bel
grade, where he discovered Masonic Lodge, to
which he was invited, and where he received
hospitable reception 1t appears now to be proved
beyond all doubt that the Turkish brothers who
exercise the Masonic duties, under the name Of
Dervshes, are to all intents and purposes the
same as our own Order of Freeinasons with but
very little difference in the customs and ceremo-
MES, and making use of exactly the same signs,
words, and grips, to recognise each other The
Turkish Freemasons appear to be in more ele-
waited state Of civilization than is usual among the
Orientals generally; their views of religion are
far higher than those imposed by Islamism; they
reject polygamy, contenting themselves with one
single vile, and at the Masonic banquets the wo-
men appear unvailed-a striking proof of the mu-
tual confidence the Masonic brethren repose in
each other
The Belgrade Lodge, called Alikotsch, is COM
posed Of about seventy members. The Master of
the Lodge, whose name is DIAM Ismael Tsholak
Mahamed Saede, is at the same time Grand
Master of all the lodges in European Turkey, and
is directly connected with all those Of the whole
Ottoman Empire, Arabia, and Persia, in which
latter tho Freemasons amount to more than fifty
thousand members. In Constantinople there are
no less than nine lodges, the most numerous and
important of which is that of the dancing der
wishes, called Sirkedshi Teckar. The Turkish
Freemasons wear as a symbol of brotherhood be-
sidea small brown shawl embroidered with mys-
teal figures, fiat polished twelve-cornered piece
OF white marble, with reddish brown spots, about
two inches in diameter, suspended by white
silken cord round the neck. These spots repre-
sent the drops of blood, and are symbolic of the
death of Ali, the founder Of the order in Turkey,
who was barbarousy put to death by the then
Sultan, for refusing to reveal the secrets. The
aforementioned DIAM Ismae, Grand Master of
the Lodge of Belgrade, venerable Turk of the
old school, is honorary member of the Lodge Of
Baldwin under the Limetree," at Leipsic, sew
eral members of which lodge have received di-
plomas from the Alikotsch, at Belgrade.

territory not occupied by it. Thus the attack
came from the North The strife and agitation
originated there. All that the South has done
has been OF defensive and self-protectve char

so alarming, that constant vigilance has been
necessary to guard against them. Mr. Calhoun
saw and rightly appreciated the danger, and be-

holders, was only defending the Constitution and
the rights Of all the States, North and South,
East and West
