P.M.'S And The Working Brethren Of Lodges.

ville ' s advent , nearly three years ago , since then he lias been increasing in his efforts to induce the Grand Lodge , or some more or less influential brethren to give him a hearing . But , no ; he offered them bread , they gave him a stone . Tou , dear Sir and brother , as well as your [ readersknow the sequel of those

, efforts . The discoveries have , indeed , not been made without great labour , mental and physical , nor without wonderful patience and incomparable pluck , unsurpassed in any narrative in " Self Help , " and deserving the foremost place in the next edition of that

encouraging work . Bro . Godfrey ' s letter reflects honour upon himself , and let me beg him to accept the most ardent wishes for the complete success of his suggestions , of Tours fraternally , W . N . CRAWFORD .

GRAND LODGE OF MARK MASTERS . TO THE EDITOE OF THE FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROE . Dear Sir and Brother , —Allow me to join my 'brother , X . T . Z' Australia , and request you will be good enough also to inform me how to proceed in order that I may obtain my certificate as a Mark

Master , which degree I received in this colony ( not 12 months ago ) , but since 1865 . The certificate was duly paid for on the night of my advancement . I am well assured that the certificates have been applied for , but , I believe , no communication has been received by the lodge in which I was advanced ( St . Louis Mark Masters' Lodge , No . 71 ) , since it was founded .

A friend of mine called my attention to a letter which appeared in your Magazine last year , signed by the Grand Secretary , respecting non-replies to communications addressed to Grand Lodge , and requesting Masters and Secretaries of lodges to notice the change in the address . I subsequently directed the R . W . M . ' s attention to this ' communicationand I

, received a reply from that brother to the effect that he had instructed the Secretary to write again to Grand Lodge by the out-going French packet of the 18 th Sept ., 1868 , and , in order that there should be no mistake , to register the letter at the post-office . I believe this was donebut no replhas been received

, y , although nearly six months have elapsed . Doubtless , it has met the same fate as all previous communications from the St . Louis Lodge , No . 71 , Mauritius . As certificates from the Old Country seem to be very difficult to be obtained , I trust , Mr . " Editor , you will pardon me for trespassing upon your valuable

fime , and beg you will be kind enough to give this letter a space in the columns of your Magazine . Tours fraternally , A MEMBER OE THE ST . LOTJIS MARK MASTERS' LODQE , NO . 71 , MAURITIUS . Port Louis , Mauritius . Sth March , 1869 .

MASONIC ARCI-L / EOLOGT . — BRITISH MUSEUM . TO THE EDITOR OF TBE FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR . Dear Sir and Brother , —Before any discovery of Bro . Melville can be talked of , and the officers of the British Museum called to account , Bro . Melville has first to prove

that the object in question is an astrolabe , which no one ever thought of before , or can comprehend now , for there appears not the least reason to believe it is anything of the kind . Yours fraternally , A STUDENT .
