We have seen some harsh criticisms
on the French Government for expell
ing the Princes from France. The
following wifi show that the Govern
ment of the French Republic had
good reasons for its action:
A RETURN TO MONARCHY.
M. Serve, an intimate friend of
Count de Paris, writing to the Sol-
eil, says that the period of exile will
be of short duration; that the three
a* 1 a half million votes given to the
Conservatives at the last election
will soon develop into six million roy
alist voters; and that France is weary
of and disgusted with Republican
binders and will soon return to
monarchy.
RADICAL PRESS COMMENTS.
The French Radical press point to
the Count of Paris’ manifesto as a
proof of the dangerous character o'
the man as a resident of the Republic.
They say the manifesto completely
unmasks his real character as a con-
spirato \ Three of the State Council
lors and the Count de Pourtales,
third secretary of the French Embas
sy at London, have resigned because
of the expulsion of the Princes.
THE COUNT’S MANIFESTO.
Much excitement has beep caused
by thie manifesto of the Count of Paris
oa his departure from France. The
newspapers containing the manifesto
are selling on the streets in large
numbers. The document has made a
great impression.’’
Prince Victor Napoleon in bidding
adieu to some friends who accompan
ied him abroad, intimated that lie
would be recalled to re-establish a
Napoleonic Empire. With such sen-,
t’merits as these in their hearts, would
not any reasonable man think it dan
gerous to stand upon the confines of
da-cp.Yr, yea, encourage it with the
prese ice of a man of acknowledged
talent, bravery and ambition, with
the blood of a Bonaparte coursing
warmly in his veins, of Napoleon the
first, who mainly with Frenchmen
conquered all Europe and covered
France with greater glory than an
cient Rome ever possessed in the height
0 ' her power and the blaze of her vic
tories? The French, too, have ever
cherished the hope of revenge for his
cruel banishment to a rock-bound
isle in the Atlantic ocean, under the
tropics a few degrees below the equa
tor, there to die far distant from the
6cences of his glory and the land and
the people whom he loved so well.
Still, France, was peaceful, prosper
ous and happy under her great Re
public: Is poweful, and richer than
she has ever been before. We take
it, that the present republican rulers
of France look upon public virtue as
more worthy of admiration than
gilded thrones with the insignia of
splendor for monarchs and wealth
unbounded for djkes and lords, and
obedience and poverty for the great
masses of the people. A few ambi
tious princes who had b en kindly
treated, and trusted .'o’ nearly t wen by
years, instead of devoting their time
and energies to the maintenance of the
new order of civil policy, w r ere con
stantly plotting for its overthrow to
gratify their personal ambition. They
have shown their hands since their
expulsion, and justify the acts of the
republican rulers. They have shown
themselves to be gamblers, in the des
tiny of France, for selfish ambition,
and however hard may be their fate
they have brought it upon themselves
by * becoming anarchists in their
country, seeking the overthrow of
its institutions, for the gratification of
their personal ambition.
Parliament Prorogued.
The Queen prorogued Parliament
on the 25th. Her speech to the Lords
and Commons, was brief and happily
expressed. She released them tem
porarily from Legislative duties to
obtain the sense of her people as to
the establishment of a legislative body
for the management of Irish, as distin
guished from imperial affairs. She
expressed her gratification at the
peaceful close of Bulgarian affairs
through the wise counsels of the
Powers, and the forbearance of the
Sultan; the adoption of pacific coun
sels by Greece, which removes a seri
ous danger to the peace of Europe.
She referred to the improvement of
the state of affairs in Egypt; and the
cordial union of the several, portions
of the Empire. Alter referring to
several other matters of less impor
tance, she stated finally, after thank
ing the House of Commons for liberal
supplies which they had voted, “It
is my earnest prayer that the Parlia-
| ment, about to be elected, may be so
j guided as to promote the peace, hap-
j piness and contentedness of my people,
and the strength And union of the
1 Empire.”

ADDRESS.
Ladies, Friends and Brothers :
We have assembled together on one
of the great Festival occasions of
Freemasonry. On this day, consecra
ted to the venerated patron of our Or
der, our brethren, wherever dispersed
over the extended surface of the hab
itable globe, whether in populous
city, or humble hamlet, are coming up
to the sacred altar of the Order to re
new its holy fires, and to offer up to
the Supreme Architect of the Uni
verse tlieir sacrifice of thanks for the
permanency, the prosperity, and the
extension of our beloved Institution.
From the gushing fountains of East
ern India, throughout Asia, Europe,
and in our own land to its western
borders, from the icy regions of Swe
den and Russia, to the burning plains
of the equator ; wherever civilized
man has left the imprint of his foot
steps; on this day, and at this hour,
are the prayers and praises of the
Sons of Light ascending in a thou
sand tongues, and yet with bqt one
universal language, to the clouded
Canopy of Heaven.
It is then, my brethren, to us a
subject of proud gratulation that we
too are permitted to assemble on this
festive day, amid this almost illimita
ble throng of worshipers, and with
one voice to unite in swelling that
harmonius chorus, which even at this
moment is reverberating throughout
the spheres.
But while we thus boast with hon
est pride of our connection with this
venerable and ancient order, whose
universal extent encircles the earth
in its mystic chain, the very thought
that we are parts of this stupendous
whole, should teach us the frequent
necessity of inquring what duties and
obligations devolve upon us, as mem
bers of a society, our attachment to
which we are this day, publicly dem
onstrating.
It is peculiarly appropriate on this
day that we should investigate some
at least, of the most important doc
trines of Freemasonary, that we may
by public exposition of our system
best vindicate the purity of our te
nets, and the perfection of our princi
ples.
The peculiar excellence of Freema
sonry is to be found in the methods
adopted, not only to communicate,
but to impress upon the minds of its
disciples its lessons of virtue. What
ever we teach is not inculcated in dry
detail, where truth itself often be
comes monotonous, and virtue unat
tractive, but is illustrated and enforc
ed by types and figures, usages and
ceremonies, that to the novice may
mean nothing, but to the initiated
they become forever living and glo
rious truths.
Hence Freemasonry has been poet
ically defined as a system of morality
veiled in allegory and illustrated by
symbols.
Symbols are the speech of God, and
through them eternity looks into
time, and the Infinite holds commun
ion with the finite, the Divine with the
human. Through symbols the mys
terious currents of life from the over
world stream into our under world,
lighting it up with a living glory.
Symbols make Masonry a sentiment,-
and there may be those who would
smile at a sentiment, but everything
great ahd noble and true is a senti
ment. The love one bears for his
country, that would make answer io
her roll call of duty, and march to her
defense amidst the booming of canon
and the shock of battle, is but a sen
timent. The affection a mother has
for the babe at her breast, that would
shield i: from dangers ard storms,
with her life if need be, is but a senti
ment. The love I have for my wife
and children that would make me
hold my right arm in the fire and let
it burn unmoved if it was for their
good, js but a sentiment. The attach
ment we as Masons bear for Masonry,
is but a sentiment, but it is a living,
undying, eternal sentiment.
I propose on the present occasion to
lift the Mystic Veil of our Temple as
far as it is permitted me to do so; to
conduct my audience as near the
shrine of our sanctuary as the unini
tiated can approach; to show them
something of this typical instruction
with which Freemasonry abounds,
and then let them judge for them
selves what is the true spirit of our
institution, and whether it deserves
most their praise or their censure.
Masonry is a progressive science, all
it/light and truth are not at once de-
t sloped to the aspirant, hut he is
made at each step to pause and pon
der over what he has already received,
before he is permitted to seek for fur
ther advancement.
Freemasonry in its essence is the
same throughout the globe. Slight
differences may and do exist, in va
rious countries, in lesser matters and
forms, but in its sum and substance
it encircles the nations the same.
Freemasonry in all its teachings is
the defender of right, and the enemy
of wrong. It is especially the friend
and protector of woman. " No civilized
people on earth, no order or institu
tion of men, in all the cycles ot years
that are past, ever held the name of
mother, sister, wife, with a purer,
deeper reverence than does the insti
tution of Masonry. We are taught
in the Alpha, and learn in the Omega
of our order, to honor, defend, and
protect our pure and noble women.
Ancient Masonry includes three de
grees, Entered Apprentice, Fellow
Craft and Master Mason. These de
grees, our history and traditions tell
us, were founded and practised by
the craftsmen who erected the Tem
ple of King Solomon, and are said in
our system of symbolism, to be em
blematic of human life in its gradual
progress from the cradle to the grave.
The entered Apprentice presents us
with the representation of youth just
entering on the struggles, the trials,
and the duties of life. He reminds us
of the weak and helpless state of man.
unprepared for the exigencies of the
present or the vicissitudes of the future,
and dependent for his safety and ex
istence on Him who rules the universe.
Unprovided by nature with the means
of defense and protection from the
seasons; man in his earlier period of
life, totters onward in blindness and
darkness and ignorance, unable to
foresee or prevent danger, and depend
ent on others to guide his destiny, and
to steer his life-boat through the
breakers and the storm.
As it is with youth entering upon
life with the future dim, misty and
unknown; so it is with the Neophyte
who crosses the threshold of the Lodge
and enters upon his career of Masonry.
There is a dark and unknown coun
try before him. It may be a land fair
as the garden of Hesperides, with ver
dant plains and bright flowers to
greet his sight, or it may be a region,
dismal as Tartarus, beset with yawn
ing gulfs.and frowning precipices. But
through this unknown land he has to
pass. And as the youth is prepared
by a virtuous and useful education
for his journey through life, so the
Apprentice obtains in this degree the
first lessons for his future Masonic
life.
Having served a proper time as an
apprentice, he advances to the more
honorable degree of Fellow Craft.
If the first degree was typical of
youth, so the second is emblematical
of the stage of manhood.
The lessons of truth and virtue,
which he learned in youth, must now
bear fruit. The talent which was
lent must now be returned with usury.
Hence the Fellow Craft’s degree is
particularly directed to the liberal
arts and sciences, with whose princi
ples the candidate should become fa
miliar, that he may occupy with hon
or to himself his allotted place in the
structure of human society.
The first degree represents youth,
the second, manhood, the third, or
Master Mason, is emblematic of old
age, with its trials, its suffering, and
its final termination in death.
The time for toiling is now over.
The opportunity to learn is now pass
ed away, and the wearied workman
awaits only the word of the Grand
Master to call him from the labors of
earth to the eternal refreshments of
Heaven.
It was the single object of all the
ancient rites \nd ceremonies, practic
ed in the very bosom of pagan dark
ness, shining like a beacon in all that
surrounding gloom, to teach the im
mortality of the soul.
g
Third Degree of Mi
The Entered Apprentice is moral,
the Fellow Craft is scientific, while
that of Master Mason is directed to
the purification of the soul.
That an institution like this, with
tenets so entirely pure and innocent
and an object so philanthropic,
should ever have found an adversary
is indeed a matter of wonder, but
whatever be the cause, the efforts to
injure and destroy have ever been in
effectual.
Freemasonry has stood for ages, un
hurt by the fall of Empires or the
struggles of revolutions, unchanged
and unchangeable. It still stai ds
now, as it has done in all times past,
firm and immovable as the mighty
rock around whose base the broad
billows of old ocean roll and beat
without in jury.
The creed of h Mason is brief, un
This is' still the great design of the
[asonry.
entangled with any scholastic subtle
ties or theological difficulties. It is a
creed that demands and receives the
universal consent of all men, which
admits of no doubt and defies schism.
It is a belief in God—the great Archi
tect of the universe; the Giver of all
good gifts; the Judge who holds in
his hands the balances of the judg
ment.
Freemasonry is the handmaid of
religion, not the rash usurper of her
seat. We have no waters of Jordan,
where the soul leprous with sin and
defilement can wash and be made
whole. We should encroach upon
Deity, we should touch with profane
hand His altar, did we assert such
claims.
But Masonry does not arrogate too
much to herself when she does claim
to be a moral teacher and reformer.
Her mission is a noble one and is
not yet ended. When the promised
period of universal peace and harmo
ny shall arrive ; when the lion and the
lamb shall lie down together and a lit
tle child shall lead them; when the
sword shall be turned into the plow
share, and the spear into the pruning
hook; when sighing and suffering
shall forever cease; then, and not till
then, will her mission be ended.
Circumnavigate the globe and you
can scarce touch a spot where the
genial influences of Masonry are not
seen and felt. In the frozen regions
of the North, in the sunny plains of
the South, in the broad expanse from
East to Y/est her banner is floating.
Brothers of Daniel Lodge and all
Masons: Let us not forget that we
have a work to do while it is today.
As the stones were brought ready
fashioned from the quarries of Zara-
datha fitted and prepared for the
builder’s use, so should our minds and
hearts be prepared for that Temple
not made with hands eternal in the
Heavens.
Let us keep bright and glorious
that spirit of brotherly love, that
golden chain that links heart to heart
and binds soul to soul.
Let us perform every duty incum
bent upon us: every duty that we
owe to our family; every duty we owe
to our neighbor; every duty we owe
to our country; every duty we owe to
our Lodge and brothers; and above
all every duty we owe to Him who
made earth and sea, and man in His
own image.
“Tell me not in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dreata,
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And we are not what we seem.
Life is real, life is earnest,
And the grave is not the goal;
Dust thou art to dust returneth.
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way,
But to act, that each to-morrow,
Finds us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and time is fleeting, • *
And our hearts tho’ stout and brave,
Still like muffled drums are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle,
Be a hero in the strife.
Trust no future howe’er pleasant,
Let the dead past bury its dead,
Act, act, in the living present,
Heart within, and God o’er head,
The lives of all great men remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us
Footprints in the sands of Time.
Footprints that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn, and shipwrecked brother
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.”
A MIDGET.
From the Philadelphia Herald.
The agricultural population in the
vicinity of Bell Bank, Chester county,
eight miles from Oxford, are excited
over the birth of a midget baby. The
infant is a most wonderful freak of
nature. When ushered into existence
two weeks ago, it was barely ten inch
es in length and it failed to get the
better of a four-pound weight when
placed in the end of an ordinary pair
of scales in the village grocery store.
The father is a fine, hearty farmer,
rather above than below medium
height, named Nelson Bunting. He
is 45 years old, and his wife Julia, who
is not over two or three years his jun
ior, is quite a large woman. They are
the parents of half a dozen girls and
boys, fully as large as children of their
respective ages usually are, and they
can offer no explanation of this ap
parent phenomenon. Since her birth,
the midget, which is one of the female
sex, has not grown in any percepti
ble degree, but she is by no means
weak or puny, despite her deminutive
size, and her voice is as powerful as
that of the largest infant ever born.
She is well proportioned and pretty,
and is generally considered a perfect
specimen of a midget. Her father’s
silk hat is plenty large enough to hide
her completely, and when put within
a halt-gallon measure her head does
not come within several inches of the
top.
Neuralgia and kindred diseases,
promptly yield to the immediate ac
tion of St. Jacobs Oil, the pain-con
queror.
Among our Exchanges.
The sweet girl graduate and her
winning ways greatly relieve the
monotony of the primary elections
and the Gubernatorial campaign.
Don’t let your personal preferences
for your favorites run amuck your
judgment and mar or destroy a life

Yale Barr-Out Females.—At a
meetingof the corporation of Yale Col
lege, it was voted to confer the de
gree LL. B. on Miss Alice R. Jordan,
who entered the law school under a
clause in the catalogue admitting at
torneys-at-law of any State to the se
nior class. The corporation, however,
decided that a note be inserted in the
next catalogue that the courses of in
struction are only open to the male
sex.
The Girl of to Day.—New Or
leans States: The girl of today is a
busy, useful worker. She is generally
proficient in needle work. She can
not only alter her dress, but cut and
make them and her underclothing as
well. She has a knack for brimming
her hats and furnishing her wardrobe,
ipd does her full share at helping the
dressmaker who comes to assume
charge of the spring and fall sewing.
She understands the various branches
of mending, aud takes that division
of labor off her mother's hands, as
as the care of parlors and dining,
rooms, the arrangement of flowers*
the supervision of the manners and
apparel of the Younger children, and
some times of their studies, tco. Let
full justice be done to the “girl of the
period," or rather let there be a clear
comprehension of what should be
really represented by that much abus
ed phrase. It is not fair to take the-
weakest specimens of the sex as types
of a class comprising earnest workers
with strong conceptions of life, its
responsibilities and burdens and a
steady purpose to bear them accord
ing to the best of their ability.
Why Collisions Occur.
Boston, June 25th.—In the course-
of the decisions of the Railroad Com
missioners rendered to-day in regard
to the collision that occurred last Sat
urday at Pepperell, they say:—“In his
haste to reach a place of rest the en
gineer took the chances of a collision
with a regular train, rather than to re
main on a siding in a safe place. Both,
the engineer and the conductor of the
train had been at work for nearly
thirty-two hours without an oppor
tunity for sleep, and the desire to
reach a place for rest as soon as possi
ble was the engineer's excuse. The
managers of this and all other rail
roads should learn from this occur
rence that it is wrong and hazardous^
to overwork the men that they em
ploy.”
