Masonic Sayings And Doings Abroad.

MASONIC SAYINGS AND DOINGS ABROAD .

Afc Panama a New Masonic Hall was opened in April . It is to bo used for the meetings of the Panama Lodges and for general purposes . Panama is not such a wealthy place as it was , but Masonry flourishes . Several years ago , says tho " St . Louis Freemason , "

the Grand Loclge of Massachusetts lost b y fire a rare and valuable collection . Again the valuable collection b y Bro-A . T . C . Picrson of Minnesota , and of the Grand Lodge of thafc State was destroyed by fire . This year the libraries of the Grand Lodgo of Illinois , and of Bro . H . G . Reynolds were burned , and thus one by one are dis .

appearing one valuable collection after another , owing to the impossibility of placing large collections in fire proof buildings . They should , however , never be trusted in buildings so occupied , that fire is more than a probable accident .

The corner stone of the Masonic Temple to be erected in Norfolk , Ya ., was laid recently . The ceremony was imposing , and was witnessed by an immense crowd of persons . Tho oration was delivered by Bro . W . S . 'Whittle . Lodges from Portsmouth and Fortress Monroe , and many distinguished Masons from distant cities , were present . A banquet , given in tho largest hall in the city , closed the exercises .

MONTAGUE v . MONTACUTE . —Our readers will probably recollect that several years ago there was a discussion among the Masons of Massachusetts as to the proper name of their patron English Grand Master , and after whom one of their lodges is named . R . W . Bro . Chas . "W . Moore , Prov . G . Sec ., took the side of Mont-acute , and

others that of Montague , as being the proper name of the Grand Master of England in 1733 , and the controversy waxed so interesting , until it was at last determined to settle the question by appointing a committee with M . W . Bro . John T . Heard , Prov . G . M ., as chairman ; and after giving the subject an historical research worthy of

his reputation as a scholar , he at last submitted a report which does him great credit , and from which we find that Montague won the victory . As he truly says , historical date was so imperfect owing to commingling of names , that ifc was with great difficulty that the facts could be arc-ived afc , yet by following tho line of genealogy he afc

last got the correct termination , and we presume thafc now the namo of Montacute in the Grand Lodge Hall , and on the Grand Lodge Register , will have to give place to tho correct name of Montague , the Grand Master of 1733 . —Freemason , St . Louis .

The employes of Bro . M . M . Pom eroy , the Proprietor and Editor of " Pomeroy ' s Democrat , " ( New York ) have united in presenting him with a handsome testimonial and a diamond ring of the value of 1 , 500 dollars , as a token of their esteem and respect , and in recognition of his uniform kindness to all in his employ . The presentation was made by Bro . T . G . Tisdall , the editor of the Masonic department .
