The Pope Expelled by the Freema-
a0na.


At the recent meeting of the Grand
Lodge of Masona, Scottish Rte Of the
Orient of Palermo, I;aly, bel / in that
city on the 9th of March. Ma-tai Fer
retti, says the English Masonic News,
was expelled from The order for viola
ting his VOWS and for perjury. Mastsi
Ferretti is no other person tnau Plus TX
Pope of Rome. The decree of the lodge
at Palermo is published in the Official
paper of the Order Of Freemssons at
Cologne, Germany, and dated March u
1t is preceded by the minutes Of the
lodge in which Mastai Ferretti, in 1926,
was initiated into the order under the
old Scottish rite. The decree reads as
follows: "a man named Mastsi Ferretti,
who received the baptism of Freems-
sonry and solemnly pledged his love and
fellowship, and who afterwards was
crowned Pope and King, under the title
Of Pho Mono, has now cursed bis former
brethren and excommunicstt all mem
bers Of the Order Of Freemssons. There
fore, said Msstai Ferretti is herewith, by
decree of the GraLd Lodge of the Orient,
Palermo, expelled from the order for
perjury" The charges against Mastai
Ferretti we're first preferred in his lodge
az Palermo in 1865, and notification and
q copy thereof sent to Rome, with a re-
quest to attend the lodge for the purpose
Of his vindication. To this the Pope
made no reply, and for divers reasons
the charges were not pressed until the
Pope urged the clergy Of Brazil to az
gressiye measures against the Freema-
sons of that country, Then the charges
we're pressed, aud the second and third
notifications we're sent, snd after formal
trial, decree Of expulsion was entered,
and ordered to be published. The decree
bears the signature of Victor Emmanuel,
King of Italy. Grand Master of the
Orient Of Italy.

How She D.sposri os Two nur

Down in the Parish OF st. Martin
an old widow lady, whose children

had been persuaded to sell her little

money. In a short time she was 10

the house tho night following the
sale al alone, as WAS her custom
That night two negro burglars broke
into tho house and demanded her
money or her life, She let them
have the money, but begged them to
let her have 800 Of it, as she owed
that amount and wanted to pav the
debt, when she would bo satisfied 4;
and they finally consented. They
then ordered her to make some cof,

rect and generally known in The
neighborhood, and oven reminded
Mrs Peyton of wordsspogen during
her courtship, which she supposed
no one know but her husband aud
herself. 1t seems highly probable
he will he able TO establish his iden
tity, incredible as it may appear.
The principal evidence in his favor
is that furnished by several marks
and scars on his person, aud this is
unimpeachablo. Willis Peyton, when
n lad, received q severe cut in tho in.
step which left a bad scar. The
metamorphosed Willis peyton has
the scar. He had a tattoo Of IN mark
American shield on his right arm.
The shield is there. On his left arm
an anchor. Anchor there, but elon
gated. Peyton had also vely Gu
rious scar ON one Of his fingers, which
was dishgured by crushing in n cog
wheel. A critical examination Of this
finger by the physician who dressed
the fresh wound compels the doctor
to say that it is the finger Of Willis
Peyton. .--.,.,>.
While this examination was max
ing, the claimant said, Doctor, do
you recollect how sick Twas made by
the sight of that finger, while you
and mother was dressing il one day?
And do YOU recollect how I came to
you one day 10 know what wouM
take the Inflammation out of my arm
where was tattooed by Jim Bayne
the sailor - The old doctor remem-
bered well how sore Willis Peyton's
arm was and the circumstances of
his fainting once from the dressing
of the sore finger. Another evidence
that the claimant is the simon-pure
Willis Peyton is that he singles ont
men who do not know him, calling
them by name and reminding them
OF incidents of former acquaintance
that leave no doubt in their minds as
to his identity.
And the "Widow Peyton" sits in
the court room, by turns looking at
the claimant to her bed aud board,
and crying ms witness after witness
avows his belief that tho strange
man is Willis Peyton. She has told
her friends that if he really is Pey.
ton he may have the farm, stock, and
everything but herself Sometimes
during passages OF the trial he i'm.
plores her to look again and see if
she cannot recognize one feature and
acknowledge him ~ her husband,
but she refuses, and his earnest, ap
pealing acesuddenly becomescloud-
ell by dispiir. He says If the suit
terminates in her favor he will ask a
living OFF the farm. and viii never in.
trude upon his wife and children nm
less they voluntarily recognize him.

The Lucknow Qndia) Pioneer re
ports the arrival there of novelty
IN the shape Of II wolf boy. This young
gentleman who is now undergoing a
process of tanning in u lunatic asylum,
was carried off by wolves when an in
iant, and has remained with them
untl short time ago, when sought
and recognized by his parents. His
Ianliy, however, can hardly be con
graduated on his restoration, for
his education in the wolf nursery
(Which by the way was purely secu-
lar) seemed to have been very de
fective. His manners are not only
disagreeable but peculiar, at first
he walked on all fours, though now
he has been induced TO walked on
his two feet only, like reasonable
being ; he has long hair on his head,
and his body iscon siderably scared,
aud he cannot speak, nor can ho un-
derstand single word. His parents
suffered many inconyeaiences on his
first arrival at home, owing to his
frequently attacking and trying to
devour them at night and, indeed
it was owing to his persistence in,
this unfilial conduct that they were
compelled in self-defense to put him
mdormedical surveillance. lie also,
among other disagreeable habits,
tears raw meat to pieces with his
teeth, and eats it ravenously like Il
wild beast, and bites and snaps at
any one who tries 10 take it from
him. This last little weakness would
in no way have disqualified him for
the post of Judge Advocate General,
had he happened to be in England
at the time Of the reconstruction of
tho ministry but it seems doubtful
whether he will ever be thoroughly
cured of his other propensities,
which however, will enable him, by
exhibiting himself in civilized coun-
tries, to amass q far larger fortune
than he is likely to make il he is
converted into mc.clya useful me,n-
hex VI society.
