North Caroline says; "a Mason
should never be allowed to dimit from a
Lodge ia passion. A Mason has no
right TO nOn-affiliate himself, and no
Lodge possesses the power to allow a
Brother to Withdraw of his own ac-
cord"
AIqbaBaa indorses this. Indiana,
through its G. Master, believes that
q such members cease to have any rights
in or claims upon the Fraternity; shall
not visit any Lodge, have no claims on
Lodges for charity any more than il they
had never belonged to the Order, and
shall not be buried with masonic
honors.n arkansas indOrses this. The
q. L. OF Indiana by edict justified their
G. Master's opinion, In this Illinois, Ge0r-
ala and IO,Bd agree, while California
and Missouri, through their respective
G. MS, adopt the theory. Dimitting TO
form new Lodges is required by Aissts-
siDDi and Maryland. North Carolina
differs, and fav0rs the rule as We have it
in Kentucky, and nearly all the other
jurisdictions.
California requires that non-afiiliated
Masons " be summoned to present them
selves at the nearest Lodge TO their resi-
denee. and affiliate or show cause"
Florida has declared " that member
of a Lodge has a right to dimit when he
pleases, having paid all the dues, and if
no charges are pending against him !" IN
these sentiments IeDdS agrees; ana
Ohio, through q committee, affirms the
doctrine. IL is a good answer TO quote
Arkansas: "The idea that everything is
voluntary in Masonry, has done more
harm than a general persecution would"
illinois pronounces +" that il is contrary
TO and inconsistent with the ancient
usages and precepts Of our Order to with
draw from Lodge without some good
cause or to reside in the neighborhood Of
a Subordinate Lodge without becoming
a member thereof"
NississfpDi decides "that Brother in
good standing and not indebted to the
Lodge. is entitled to dimit. An adGi-
tjonal vote of acquiescenee on the part OF
the Lodge is Unnecessary This is
surely incorrect in principle. The an
cient law declares that "every Brother
ought to belong to a Lodge ;" by what
principal or authority can it be deduced
that d every Brother is entitled to with
draw from Lodge"
But Wisconsin afiirms the same doc
trine. Missouri hopes " thateachG. l.. IN
the union will throw off ali that morbid
sympathy which has hitherto prevented
those masonic drones from all further
hope OF pilfering the funds SO sacredly
devoted to the widow and the orphan"
District Of Columbia, by its Grand
Master. asseyerates; " We are under no
responsibility, no obligation whatever, to
aid ana assist any Mason in his adversely
who, in his days Of prosperity, forgets
that he is a Mason"

The Marion (Ohiol Independent says
that thirteen human skeletons OF an ex-
tinct race were found in sn excavation
for cellar in that place lately, and ex-
presses the opinion that the hill upon
which the excavation was made is full of
similar remains. A singular thing about
the skeletons found was that the arms
mad all been broken between the elbow
and the shoulder, and the thigh bones
had also been broken. Tive Of the skele-
tons were Of females, the rest were of
males. The females, when living, must
have been taller than the average Of
men Of the present day. The males must
have been seven or eight feet high.

MASONIC INFEBEsCE-AN INCIDENT
OF THE WAR.

From the Baltimore Masonic Reviewl
/ give the following incidentf falling
under my own observation, as an in
stance where the Masonic tie of brother
hood proved stronger than the fear of
death, and more lasting than the hatred
of mortal foes. AT the second battle of
Cold Harbor the repulse of the Federals
left the ground in front of the. Confede-
rate works strewn with their dead and
wOunded-these, lying more than day
under the hot July sun, dying with
thirst, begged piteOusly for help, but in
vain, as the Federal lines were 50 close,
that none could leave the protection of
the breastwork without being made a
target for their bullets. Some dragged

operate as letters OF recommendation
2 Z. As. or +. Cs. from another grand
Jurisdiction should petition in writing for

should be referred, reported, and ballOted
on, the same as in the case Of a candidate
in the beginning.
3. Where one Lodge in this jurisdiction
relinquishes a candidate for second or
third degrees to another Lodge, the latter
should receive, refer, and ballot upon the
candidates petition, and thencefOrth he
belongs to said latter Lodge.
4. Where One-LOdge requests smother

must be obtained from the Lodge to
which they belong. Such consent is
good Masonic comfy, and should never
be refused.

RIGHT or SECRET BALLOT.
The right Of secret ballot, or the privi-

expressing his affirmative or negative as
a matter Of conscience between himself
and his God, is generally admitted.
Ierds says we protest against the
petty inquisitions which are sometimes
made into the votes Of members in
Kentucky cordially join.
arkansas thus speaks "The practice
to take the vote again and again at sue
cessive meetings, until the Objecting
Brother was wearied out or CHANGED to
be absent, would be unmasOnic in the
extreme, and break I'D any Lodge that |
INDUCED in it." Another remark of the /
ArkaaSas committee is: "1f / believe |
that a person is imprscticable in his no. |

me to vote against him."

TME Use OF IL aAvEL.


From the Masonic Monthly, Bosten.l
This is a diminutive little instrument,
in the use. of which every Mason is
properly instructed as he passes through
the symbolic degrees. 1t is a little sur
prising that any Master Mason should
ever either forget its use, or the language
which il speaks to every well instructed
Masonic ear. But it is a fact, and Hpity
tits true,n that very many presiding
officers, not only in Lodges, but
also in Chapters and Encampments
use it in a most meaningless
manner. 1t neither conveys instruc-
tien nor betrsys its real use, as it is often
times used, and this manner Of use is fast
becoming sucban established innovation,
that if it is not at once checked, the use
of the mallet will become perverted, and
its meaning so lost as to render it a mere
thing, all round, but without sense or
meaning.
When a single blow falls from the
gavel Of the presiding officer, every in
structed Mason knows that it means one
Of tJ0o things, and in the sound
he hears the Masters voice as plainly as
though he gave the meaning audible
words. Bat when, after having listened
to the reading of the records, the Master
declares them dppr0ged, and immedi-
ately let's fall a single blow Of the gavel,
what does it mean? Nothing. Or, when
the Master declares the ballot closed
and then lets fall the gayel, we ask, what
does that single 6t0tV mean? Aothinq
absolutely nothing.

the Masonic signal Of olistress, and that,
as Masons, they felt bOr1dto atsempt to

sent, and at nightfall the two went
upon the field, and though exposed
to the greatest danger, succeeded in
bringing the man safely off. BE proved
