PALMAM QUI MEKTJIT FERAT . . 10 THE EDITOB OP THE EEBEirASOHS' MAGAZXXB AND MASOHIC HIBBOE . Dear Sir and Brother , —In the notices ofthe consecration of the Furness Mark Lodge , 24 , S . C , in your number of June 24 , your Correspondent gives me
fche credit of performing the ceremony of consecration . Permit me to say my portion of the vrork was most unimportant , as the entire consecration was performed fry Bro . T . Entwisle , R . W . Prov . G . M ., with that perfection which has gained for him so high a
reputation . I had the pleasure of installing the R . W . M . designate , and investing the ofiicers . I am , dear Sir and Brother , Yours fraternally , C . F . MATIER , 30 ° . D . Prov . G . M . M ., Lancashire , S . C .
THE KNIGHTS { TEMPLAR CRUSADE . TO TUB EDITOE OF THE FBEBlUSOliS' ItAGAZISE AND SIASOIfIC HIEBOE . Dear Sir snd Brother , —Permit me , through the -medium of your valuable paper , to call the attention ofthe Craft , and especially ofthe Templar Order , to
the fact that the American Knights Templar . at present on a tour through the country , accepted the invitation of a spurious and illegal encampment in Glasgow , which is not recognised by the Grand Priory of Scotland .
As the Chapter General in Scotland is in alliance with the Grand Conclave , and a treaty and convention between them , has been signed . I take it for granted , that the American Sir Knights will not be admitted into English Encampments , under the rule of the Grand Conclave . They will most certainly be
excluded in Scotland from the recognised Prioris , in Edinburgh and Ayr I hope that those of them who belong to the Ancient and Accepted Rite will be warned , and will not take it into their heads to visit the " Royal GrandCouncil of Rites " and the Provincial Eoyal Grand Conclave , under the rule of Bro . John
Yarker , None are more scrupulous and exacting as to legality in Masonic matters than our Transatlantic Brethren , and they should have seen and enquired who they were going to visit in Glasgow , and steered
clear of the " Gervan Encampment of Knights Templar . " I am , dear Sir and Brother , * Yours fraternally , EQUES TEMPII

MASONIC SAYINGS AND DOINGS ABROAD .
A full length portrait of General George Washington , now hanging in the conversation room of fche Masonic Temple , Chestnut Street , was presented to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania , by W . Bro . Charles C . Watson , Jr ., W . M . of Lodge Kb . 51 , on February 10 th ., 1832 .
The following decision of the Grand Master of Illinios is well stated : " The ballot is secret and sacred , and may not be questioned . Hardships do sometimes occur under this law , but they only prove that the use of the black halls began too late . Black ballots are worth
more than white ones , and are much less dangerous . ISTo ' discussion of either class should be permitted ; ifc is useless , dangerous , unmasonic . "
M . W . Bro . E . H . English , held the office of Grand Master of . Masons of Arkansas for ten successive years , retiring in 1870 at his own request . His distinguished services in the cause of Fteemasonry will never be forgotten by the Craft .
PENNSYLVANIA . —By a Grand Lodge regulation , the fee lor initiation must be at least forty-dollars in Lodges out of the city of Philadelphia , and not less than seventy-five dollars Avithin the city . The Masons of Mount Sterling , Kentucky , will
dedicate their New Lodge room on the 13 th of July . The Grand Commandery , then to be in session afc that place , will turn out in full uniform , as cavalry and infantry .
A . AND A . RITE IN MEXICO , —Accounts received from Mexico dated at the city of Mexico , March 15 , 1871 , announce the organisation in that jurisdiction of an irregular Supreme Council , " del Rito Escoces Ant . y Acep , " by parties formerly members of the Grand Consistory and other Bodies of the Rite
there , but who have , of course , been suspended by the legitimate Body ; but as it is hardly to be expected that the parties engaged in the irreguiarity , or the Body formed by them , will itself occasion any inconvenience to the Bodies of the Rite in this country ,
it will be sufficient for the present purpose to say that the presiding Officer of the regular Body is James C . Loshe , 33 ° and the Grand Secretary is Jose Gonzalez 33 " , and that it has its Grand East in the city of Mexico . The names of the parties engaged in
the organisation of the clandestine Body , are nofc given in the Buiuster before us . —Freemason ' sMonthlg Magazine .
