MASONIC.
Anti asOury.

The fact that throughout the British En-
pire in the United States of America, aud
elsewhere, so many of those in every grade
of society who are most vitality interested i'll
conserving, amelioratlng aud perpetuating
what is most valuable and beneficial in the
present civil social and political order of
things, are active and prominent members
of our Craft. proves that our benefcent Fra
ternity is thoroughly loyal institution.
The fact that SO many adherents, and
leaders even, of so many religious creeds aud
denominations belong to our ancient Order,
shows beyond question that Freemasonry is
most tolerant institution.
The fact that so many men of more than
ordinary ability and culture are jealous
Freemasons is proof that there is much in
and pertaining to our Fraternity which is
worthy the attention of our best iutellects.
The fact that SO many good and pous
men are devoted Craftsmen demonstrates that
in their opinion, and from their experience,
Freemasonry is an institution honoring to
God and beneficial to man.
Tho fact of its time .immemorial age and
worldwide prevalence shows that as to its
moral principles, its social order, its system
of Jurisprudence and governance, its stabil-
ity and permanence, its educational inilu-
ence, its adaptability to the condition, needs
and aspirations of free and progressive
people; its humanizing efficacy, its non
proselytizug and nom partisan character.
its practical and all comprehensive volunta.
ny charity, and in short its TaisoRd'etr and
its modas Uioendi ct operarldi, all show that it
contains within itself the necessary essen
tial element of true universal Brotherhood,
destined to exist and prosper, world without
end.
In view of all such, and much more that
might truthfully be stated, it is one of the
perverse problems of misdirected humanity,
which almost passes charitable comprehen-
sion, that in this age of the world the per-
scouting spirit of anti Masonry should exist
in the mind or heart of any tolerably-en-
lightened individual, OF be inculGated or
practiced by any sensible prudent man or
body of men. 1t is clearly the offspring of
shortsighted and uncomfortable intolerance
whose inevitable reaction even will speedi-
ly and certainly be to the detrlment and
discontinue of those cherishing, propaga
ting and practising it. Freemasons, how
ever, stand in no awe, and have no fears of
the immediate or final outcome of persecu-
tion in any form or from any source.-[G.

large audience recently assembled in
London, to witness the experiments of Mr..
Stuart Cumberland in thought-reading. A
committee of gentlemen were selected from
the audience: and with one of these, a strang-
er to himself but well known by many pres
emit, Mr.. Cumberland successfully read the
names of three dead persons written on sep
arate slips of paper. Another of the COM
mittee, Captain Evitt Acklom, then Thought
of someone in the bo1y OF the hpnse, and
Mr.. Cumberland led him to t2J person
thought of, who turned out to be a young
lady in the stalls; though on the way the
thoUght-rcader turned aside to a gentleman
in the pit who was holding a newspaper,
and Captain Acklom subsequently acknow-
lodged that the newspaper had caught
his eye and distracted his thoughts for a
moment. Mr.. W. s. Gilbert was next EN-
ployed by Mr.. Cumberland to imagine him
self committing a murder upon any of the
audience with any of the five pankniyes be-
fore him; and his thoughts were accurately
guessed, for Mr. Cumberland took the right
knife, went to Professor Fowler, and went
through the process of sticking" him be-
hind the ear, which was the method Mr..
Gilbert had imagined he would use in dis
posing of the Professor. Almost all other
experiments were equally successful. The
pin was found at once; the number of a bank
note was read, four figures correctly at the
first attempt, and the fifth Immediately after
wards. A pain was located in the tongue
of a gentleman from the audience; and Mr..
Cumberland read the thoughts of Mr.. Ce-
lier, the musician, sufficiently to play bar
of the Men of Harlech," though so slowly
as to be uuresognisable by the audience. AL
together there could be no doubt of the
bona tides of the entertainment.
The Mayor of Marseiles has written to
Mr. Cumberland accepting his offer to give
special thought-readng demonstrations for
the benefit of the widows aud orphans of
the cholera victims in Toulon, Marseiles,
and the neghborhood, Mr.. Cumberland
will leave England soon for long tour on
the continent.

EVENING REST. By ]. L. Pratt. Young
Price 25 cts. A simple, quiet story, whose
character is adequately expressed by the
title. Evening Rest is the name given to a
little hamlet in the Blue Ridge region of
Pennsylvania, remarkable for the beauty of
its surroundings and the lovely character of
its people. Thither goes young man from
the East to visit an uncle whom he has
never before seen, and his experiences during
the stay make up the contents of the book.
One incident Of the story is strongly dram
attic in character. A family party, enc of
the members being the young man referred
to,vis't coal mine. While passing through
one of the narrow passages the guide fires
pistol to show the effects of the echo. The
concussior of the air starts a loose part of
the roof overhead and portion falls in.
The little company is shut up in the earth
with little chance Of ever seeing the light
again. They have lights, however, and
stumble across some tools, and by dint of
many hours hard labor they are at length
able to communicate with their friends out
side, who are at last able to rescue them.
The author, through the story, dwells much
upon the sweet and tender influences of
home. In Fleming Rest he creates an ideal
household and community, and strives to
show how much they have TO do with the
formation of character

STRAwBRIDGE CLoTHIER's QUARTERLY
for Autumn, 1884, has just been received
from the publishers. Its gaily printed cover
is becoming familiar Indication that new
season is upon us. The subject selected for
frontispiece for this number will appeal to
the majority of its subscribers, being "The
First Born" To those who already receive
this magazine, it will be supertluous to say
that the earlier part is made-up of iustruc-
tive and interesting articles, well illustrated;
that being the characteristic feature of this
excellent publication; no light or frivolous
matter of any kind is admitted to its col
9mns, Turning over the leaves we notice

Good manners are as necessary to genuine
success in life as an education. The sue
cesslul salesman understands how important
it is to exercise patience and to humor the
whims of his customer. A hasty word or
a spirit Of Impotence may lose a valuable
buyer. In this city of active competition,
when the markets are overstocked aud the
necessity for sales imperative, the seller must
cultivate those graces which will attract
and influence purchasers. A story is told
of the early efforts of A. T. Stewart, to the
effect that lady having tested his polite
ness to the extreme was so charmed thereby,
that she not only became valuable custo-
mer, but also influenced her friends TO be-
come likewise. A gentleman states that
having had occasions to solicit a favor from
Geo A. Stuart, of Philadelphia, several
years ago, he interviewed Mr.. Stuart at his
store, His polite manner so impressed him
that the incident has been remembered with
pleasure, Notwithstanding it was not possi-
BILE to grant the favor. Silver upon the ton
que is more valuable in business or social
Intercourse than gold in the pocket

that the variety of subjects in which ladies
delight, is set before them in the usual
attractive manner. To keep the Eimble
fingers busy, as the evenings are growing
longer, there are articles on DECORATED
Towels, ""Embroidered Cushions, ""Knitted
Lambrequins and Counterpanes," ''Folding
Screens" "Old English Embroidery"
"How to Applique, ""Home Art Novelties,
and several other equally fascinating topics.
The quarterly review of fashions is supple
mented by articles ON "Seasonable Wraps"
elbow to Dress for Photograph" Chat,
many ladies need to learn, and "Some
Hints on Dress and Manners" A very sen
sble and practical scheme IS given for what
is indeed "Mode Kitchen" and if we
were building, we would be more than
tempted to take the advice. The crazy-wcrk
fever that does not yet abate is led with an
article on Quilts" We notice in passing
that "Spatter-worlx" is described aud illus
trated. Mothers are advised how to make
clothing for their children aid outfits for
those who have become schoolgirls. The
article on "How to Paint a Miniature" may
lead to good results in a branch Of amateur
work that is not over-crowded. We notice
that "John's Wife, has varied her subjects,
though not her style we are glad to say; and
we will leave the reader to find out the
departure The kitchen page is still ably
conducted by The Caterer. Then come the
music pages, filled in this issue by a compo-
sition from the pen of Simon Hassler, the
widely-known Philadelphia musician. This
ends the literary part of tue Quarterly Then
follows the portion devoted to fashions in
all the forms that an immense dry goods
house has TO offer to the buying public. 1t
is that part of the book that appeals most
strongly TO the stay-at-home buyer, who
does not wish to be behind the times in her
apparel, and yet is unable to go to town in
person and buy. Here she will find almost
everything she needs that can be called dry
goods, illustrated, described, and priced.
Many subscribers will save the price of sew
eral years subscription upon single order
by mail.
The Quarterly is sent to any address for
one year for only fifty cents. If you have
not yet subscribed, send 10 cents for a speci-

there Is another, more recent In its orig

which must 90 into the next Presiden-

have been practiced, and that Is, the
Star-route swindle, and its sequence,
the Star-route trial. The very head
and front Of this Republican party was
involved in this most monstrous abuse,
and the fruits Of 1t were used to aid In
giving success to that party in 1880.
This Republican party has been in
power too long, has become corrupt, and
has run ints the grossest and most nefa-
riOus abuses. A change Of party in
power would purify the body polite,
would reinyigorate our institutions, and
indeed Is demanded by the public in
terests and safety. -
