THE PRIVILEGE TO VISIT THE
LODGE-ROOM.

There was time in the history of Mason
~ when no one would have thought to
question the right, which every brother in
good standing had to visit any regularly
constituted Lodge. 1t is true, it was always
then the prerosative of the Master to refuse
admission to any one not a member of his
Lodge; but this prerogative he was expected
to use with great discretion-more particu-
larly SO because no one was competent to
call him to account for it.
While the essential forms and ceremonies
of Masonry have not undergone nor admit
of any change, we all know that its inter-
nal organization, and, to some extent, its
government have been materially altered
| In our own country, more particularly
we have sought to adapt the latter. as far as
possible, to our civil government. Hence
the namber OF independent Grand Lodges
lone for almost every State or Territory.
The result of all this has been that Masonry,
as far is its internal government is concern
ed, has lost its unity. The Freemason who
now visits another or foreign jurisdiction,
finds himself too often stranger IN strange
land; and of late there has been manifested
Il spirit from which even Grand Lodges
have not been free, to make even his visit
to Lodge difficult matter.
But this is certainly an inroad upon the
ancient usages and customs of our Society.

The most remarkable case of distinc-
ton on account of race and color which CIV
er occurred has just been developed in the
United States Senate. The public, at least
hat portion residing in the State OF Della
ware, will remember that Mr.. Bayard,
whose father and grandfather were Senat-
ors before him, 10 say nothing OF q pair Of
uncles who once bore Senatorial honors,
lately made speech aiding and comfort
ing the Ku-Klux organization in the
South. Feeling proud and vain OF his
efforts, ne desired to lay his eloquence in
printed form before every member OF the
House OF Representatives.; but his repug-
rance 10 the black race overcame even his
pride in the blood Of the Bayards, and in
directing the distribution Of his speech
ne expressly omitted the names Of the
! five colored members OF the House
There is a rumor, among Bayard's Demo
cratic colleagues, that the colored mem
! bers are greatly incensed" at this exclu-
sion, bat the report lacks confirmation
A fitting finale 20 this protecting mas
be noticed in the fact that one Of the col
ored members is to make a speech to-
morrow, advocating q General Amnesty
amendment to the Ku-Klux BIZ, and tia
lie proposes to include Senator Bayard',

BONNEcs AND HATS.
As is usually the case the most re-
markable styles for ugliness seem to be
the fayorites this season. The large,
broad-brimmed leghorn hats, however
will be the most popular. These range
in price from three to five dollars. Very
little trimming is necessary.
The gipsey bonnet OF white straw OF
leghorn is becoming to some ladies and
will doubtless be much worn. The
prices are high of course and are from
So to five dollars for untrimmed hats
Large lace wells are fashionable but We
do not think they will become very
popular in this climate, IS they are toe
large and heavy however we all know
ladies will suffer much inconvenience
for fashions sake therefore the new
square lace wells may become Ia mod
here also.

GENERAL REMARKS.

Intellectual attempts have been made
to introduce Berlin fashions, not only in
London, but in New York, but said styles
being hideously ugly, they did not stake,
therefore although Berlin may triumph
over Paris in one respect, Paris miliiners
have been compelled to dry their tears,
and invent new styles for the whole
world OF fashions All! Berlin may claim
TIE throne If France hut she cannot
usurp the ancient uerogat.ve OF Paris
and lead the fashions We La Paris =!
triumphant queen Of fashions!
The styles Of making costumes varies
but very little from those OF last season
materials for costumes of course are
lighter and adapted to.the season, black
silk as we predicted early in the season
will be very fashionable for costumes and
as natural consequence our merchants
are bringing on unusually large supplies
of black silk goods which vary in price
from $3.50 to $500 per yard. Ligh
silks are usually in narrow checks ant
can be bought for sl,O0 per yard. Mo
zan,b,ques are also very much worn, ant
are being offered at the low prices o
fifteen to twenty cents per yard. Th
hands and RIFLES continue to be the IA
vorite trimming. The bands are CIT biz
and are usually of some pretty contrast
ing color.
If hoops are going out of fashion tn
toumue OF to call things by their RICH
names, the old fashioned hustle is pos
lively la mode. This immense limp agai
dis6gures the forms of our fashionabl
ladies.

Opinions OF the Press.

The Lecture of last evening at Norombe-
ga, being the second of the course, under the
direction Of the Bangor Freedman's Aid As
soc;ation. was by Mas. T. T. W. HARPER
(colored lady,, OF Boston. The Lecture was
OF high order of talent, was received with
much favor, and elected frequent and hearty
applause Those who listened must conceSe,
not only that colored people have rights, but
abilities, which others are bound to respect
-Bmgor Wig, Jan 3.
She received the closest attention, ana the
hearty and frequent applause proved her tho
roughly appreciated. She is certainly gifted
with the power of oratory. Several critics
pronounce her equal to Miss Dickinson,
while some give her credit for even greater
merit when it comes to speaking upon the
highest moral and spiritual plane. She has
less force, perhaps, in depicting battle
scene, but in describing those trials which
Only herrace nave endured, she is unequalled
philadelphia North american.
Mrs. HARPER.-This lady addressed al
audience last evening in the Rev. MI. Free
mans Church III Prince ST., upon the sub
jact of the Future Relations of the Negro
to the Government. Although the address
was new in its character, the same evidence
OF talent, thought, originality of ideas
} logic, and excellent common sense were ex
, hibited, as in her previous addresses He
reasoning is most conclusive. If the citizen
of Brooklyn were aware of her ability, tn
