The Viceroy Of India And The Freemasons Of Calcutta.

THE VICEROY OF INDIA AND THE FREEMASONS OF CALCUTTA .

Thc Calcutta Examiner has a report of the Viceroy ' s visit to the Grand Lodge on Wednesday night , June 26 . The Viceroy , soon after his arrival in India , accepted the office of Lord Patron of Masonry in Bengal , but this was his first visit to the Lodge .

His Excellency , who was attended by Major Bourke and Captain Brooke , arrived at the Lodge at 7 p . m ., where he was received by the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal and thc officers of the Grand Lodge , and conducted to thc Temple , where the usual mysteries were gone through , in the presence of about 150

brethren . About eighty members , all in fact whom the Hall would accommodate , proceeded to the banquet , at thc conclusion of which , thc District Grand Master ( H . Sandeman , Esq ., ) gave the toasts of the Queen and of the Grand Master of England , Ireland , and Scotland .

He next gave the toast of the evening— " The health ofthe Lord Patron ; " and , after alluding to previous Governor-Generals who had been Masons , gracefully alluded to thc great popularity which Lord Mayo had earned from his willingness to join in our amusements , to share in our pastimes and

our games , and to encourage the liberal arts and sciences in this country . Bro . Sandeman concluded by wishing success and prosperity , health , and happiness during his tenure of office and a safe return to his native country to His Lordship , and the toast was drunk with loud applause . His

Excellency replied as follows : — " Right Worshipful Sir , Right Worshipful Deputy Grand Master , and Brethren , —I assure you that among the many tokens of kindness ancl consideration I have received since I have been in India , I may , without any affectation , say , I value none more

highly—indeed none so much—as the reception you have just accorded to me . I assure you that if in any efforts that I have made to contribute to the happiness of my countrymen in India , or in the discharge of thc more important duties of the high office which I have the honour to hold , I have been

so fortunate as to secure the good opinion of my brethren in thc Masonic Craft , I shall feel that I have earned a high reward . ( Cheers . ) I most sincerely hope that during the four years of office which yet remain tr me in this country I may continue to merit thc good opinion which you , R . W .

Sir , have so kindly expressed . I am well aware that the position I hold is a very arduous one . Men often begin well , but by their after-conduct do not merit all thc encomiums that have been passed upon them at the outset of their career , but 1 have received so much kindness and consideration at the

hands of my countrymen that I clo not despair of meriting and receiving their kindness to the end . ( Loud cheers . ) I have been now for more than a quarter of a century a member of thc Masonic Craft , and I am free toconfessthat I have not been so active a Mason as I ought to have been ; indeed , I must

also admit that 1 have oftcner been present as a guest at thc banquet table than in Lodge . Nevertheless , I say , without hesitation , that , as years advance , I am more fully convinced than ever of the great mission the Order has performed , and is performing , for the benefit of mankind ; the important

influence for good which the Craft has exercised , and must ever exercise , over society at large ; ancl of the fact , which must be recognized by every consistent member , that a good Mason cannot be a bad man . ( Loud cheers . ) In my country , Masonry is greatly appreciated , perhaps because harmony is

not a very prominent characteristic of the Irish people ( laughter ) , rather an Irish reason you will say , but it is nevertheless true , and the reason may be that in Masonry is found a bond of union not to be met with elsewhere . ( Cheers . ) It was a source of great gratification to me , soon after my arrival in

this country , to find my name inscribed in your Masonic Diary as Lord Patron of the Order , and also to sec noticed in same page the establishment of the Bengal Masonic Association for providing a home and education for the orphans of indigent Masons . I can only say if the intention now made

for the first time in India to establish such an association prove successful , it will be most gratifying to 111 c to remember that it took its birth in the same year in which I became the Lord Patron of the Order . ( Cheers . ) In my own country , great interest is taken in such institutions ; the last Masonic

festival at which I assisted before I left Ireland , and which was attended by more than 2 , 000 people , was held at Dublin in celebration ofthe anniversary of an institution of this nature , in which So female orphan children of Masons are provided for . You may believe , therefore , that my sympathies are heartily with you in this attempt lo direct your

charitable energies into a suitable channel , believing as I do , that no fitter field for their exercise can be found than that which you have chosen . ( Cheers . ) I again thank you most sincerely for the very kind and cordial manner in which you have received this toast , and I assure you that , if at any time it is in my power to do anything which may be thought

The Viceroy Of India And The Freemasons Of Calcutta.

by you , Right AVorshipful Sir , or by the Brethren generally , for the furtherance of the interests of the Craft , I hope you will command my services ; and it will always be a gratification to me to show that I am proud of the position in which , by your kindness , I have been placed . " ( Loud cheers . ) After the toast of " Our Guests , " to which the

LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR responded , the VICEROY proposed the health of the District Grand Master , who , he said , had contributed more than any one to the welfare of Masonry in Bengal , —which was received with prolonged cheering . A few more toasts and the usual "Happy to meet , sorry to part" brought to a close a very pleasant and cheerful evening .

CROSBY'S BALSAMIC COUGH ELIXIR . OPI ATES , Narcotics , and Squills , are too often invoked to give relief in Coughs , Colds , and all Pulmonary Diseases . Instead of such fallacious remedies , which yield momentary relief at the expense of enfeebling the digestive organs and thus increasing that debility which lies at thc root of the malady , modern science points to CROSBY'S BALSAMIC COUGH ELIXIR as thc true remedy . SELECT TESTIMONIAL . Dr . Roolce , Scarborough , author of the "Anti-Lancet , " says : — " I have repeatedly observed how very rapidly and invariably it subdued Cough , Pain , and Irritation of the Chest in cases of Pulmonary Consumption , and I can , with the greatest confidence , recommend it as a most valuable adjunct to an otherwise strengthening treatment for this disease . " This medicine , which is free from opium and squills , not only allays the local iritation , but improves digestion and strengthens the constitution . Hence it is used with thc most signal success in Asthmas , Bronchitis , Consumption , Coughs , Influenza , Night Sweats of Consumption , Quinsy , and all affections of the throat and chest .
