tlrely out of place on the bench. The
Constitution of PENNSYLVANIA contains
a liberal provision for the security OF
the freedom of the press. The Lam
caster MteIigencey' is an old journal of
high character. Tie Intelligence, crit
icised some proceedings in Judge Pat
terson's court. Tkereupon Judge Pat
terson waxed exceeding wroth, and
summoned the editors of that paper
before him. He then proceeded to cat
echise them in genuine star chamber
fashion. The editors properly refused
to answer him. 1t seems they are
members of the bar, and Judge Patter-
son has ordered them to show cause
why they should not be disbarred.

IT is reported that the opinion pre-
walls in South America that the in
tervention by England to put an end
to the war in South America is inn
minent. Perhaps this story has been
exaggerated in transmission. Eng
land has probably got her hands suf-
ficiently full just now in several other
quarters of the globe to deter her from
any peculiar activity on the Pacific
coast of the neighboring continent
Afghanistan, South Africa and Ire
land may reasonably attract her at
tention for a while yet. 1t is very pos
sible, however, that the British Gov
ernment has automatically proffered
its good Offices, as the United States
| did some months since, for friendly
| endeavor to overcome the differences
between the belligerent States.

THE discovery of reputed Masonic
emblcms in the foundation of the obel-
isk at Alexandria, soon to be conveyed
to New York, tidings of which have
been given to the world by the
State Department at Washington, on
the authority of a telegram from Lieu
tenant Commander Gorringe, are sure
to arouse the attention not only of the
three millions of Free and Accepted
Masons" Throughout the world, but of
all intelligent men and women. Few
questions have been so fiercely debated
in the present sceptical century as the
claims to antiquity made by the breth
rem of the mystic tie. Our age is not
distinguished for unquestioning accep-
tance of ancient traditions, of however
sacred q character, and when to the in
trinsic difficulty of accepting current
Masonic versions Of the rise and his
tory of the fraternity there is super
added refusal to allow the profane
world to inspect the credentials of its
origin it is no wonder that unbelief in
Masonic antiquity should be still more
prevalent than unbelief in much other
imaginary history.

A NEW swindle is reported as being
pcrpetrated by "artful dodgers" in
some of the rural districts of this State.
They send letter written in the fa-
miliar tone of an old acquaintance, re-
minding the recipient that when he
left their boarding house he owed lit
tie bill, possibly 81. He is further in
formed that they can readily sell the
iewelry, which he left behind in a
satchel, for $40 or $50. If he will re-
nit the 50 they will send him the
satchel and contents. The gullible one
knows well that he never possessed
such property, nor boarded in such a
place, but he is willing to quietly OBJ
tain some other persons valuable jew
elrv, and therefore sends the 50. He
receives nothing This swindle is
based solely upon the idea that large
percentage of the people are by nature
dishonest enough to take that to which
they have not the slightest just claim,
if they have the chance. People that
are beaten by the trick are served ex-
actly right. There is not the slightest
danger that they will put officers of
the law upon the track of the swind-
lcrs Shame will keep them from expos
ing their own manifestations

THE Centennial of declaration of
war was observed in 1876 by an in
ternational Industrial Exhibition, at
which all the foremost nations of the
world brought their wares and pro-
ducts. 1t is now proposed to observe
the Centennial of treaty of peace, by
which the colonies were recognized as
a nation, in similar way, the island
Of Manhattan being the place and 1888
the time. These great international
bazaars are peculiarly modern insti-
tuition; they are the most effective in
formers in the world of commercial in
dustry, and the most effective Jewellers
in the sphere of commercial monopo-
lies. No event in 1876 can compare
with the rncinrncity of knnWledre that
