A history of the Masonic Fraternity In Penn
eylvnnla, -which we extract from a work compiled
bv Augustus Row, K. T., and recently published,
; -will bo intcreßting at this time:
i “Tho exact date of the Introduction of Free
-maeonry into Pennsylvania is not known, neither
fc’ at what time the first Lodge was established at
Philadelphia. In the newspapers of. that day wo
£nd that in 1732, William Allen was Grand Master
' and that Tun Lodge met at ‘Tun Tavern.’ In 1782
Franklin was 8. Warden under William Allen.
In 1731 the G. L. of England appointed Franklin
Provincial G. Master of Pennsylvania. On June
24th, 1734, St. Jdhn’s'Lodge, Boston, warranted a
lodge in Philadelphia, ana of this Lodge Franklin
was appointed Master. This warrant was received
on St. John’s day, while the brethren were engaged
in a celebration under their old organization.
They immediately accepted the authority, and
ratified the appointment On July 10th, 1749,
Franklin received an appointment for Thomas
H. Ward, Prov. G. M. of New York, which
superseded the Boston authority. In March,
1760, Wm. Allen was appointed Prov. G. M. of
Pa., by G. L. of .England. In 1758, Lodge No. 2
■was organized by Warrant from G. L. of Ancient
York Masons, of England. In 1764, a warrant
for a Prov. G. Lodge was received from England.
The archives of this Lodge were destroyed during
the revolutionary war. On December 20th, 1777,
a convention was held in Philadelphia, to reor
ganize the order. On September 18th, 1786, the
Grand Lodge severed its connection with the
Grand Lodge of England.
“The first poyal Arch Chapter in America was
- instituted at Philadelphia,about 1758, and known
ub No. 8, and recognized by-Military Lodge, No.
35, under warrant of G. L. of England. In 1795,
Molan made an attempt to introduce innovations
into the R. Arch degree, and to form ah indepen
dent Grand Lodge,under warrants Nos. 19,52, and
■67, and, as he pretended,by authority of the Grand
Lodge of Maryland and Georgia. The Chapter
working under warrant No. 3 made Inquiry into
the proceedings, and declared them irregular and
contrary to the established customs of the, craft.
The Grand Lodge, upon complaint, suspended
Nos. 19, 52, and 67, and appointed a committee
r to investigate the matter. This committee re
■if ported, and resolved 'that all masonic jurisdic
f tion in tho State of Pa. is vested in the Grand
f-u Lodge of Pa,, and that the officers of the differ
®r ent Lodges of the State are constitutional mem
bers of the Grand Lodge, that it is tho right of
• . all regular Lodges to make Masonß in tho higher
degrees, and that the work of the Royal Arch
Masons of No. 3 had met tho approbation of
7. visiting Royal Arch Masons from all parts of the
/ glebe, and that it was the prevailing wish for an
*r establishment of a Grand Chapter.' Accord
, M ingly, on November 23d, 1795, the Grand Chapter
gjv was formed. In 1797, a convention of Chapters
p -"was held in Boston to form a General Grand
v Gbapter for the U. 8. The Grand Lodge of
’ Penna. condemned this organization, as it intro
duced various innovations upon the ancient and
<- established work of Royal Arch Masons. After
■ the General Grand Chapter was formed in 1798,
[ it was deemed advisable to adopt a regular form
J L -of work, which was done in 1810. Taking the
Ce 6 Ancient York Rite as a standard, they selected
: - from tho Scottish Rite those things that approxl
m mated to the former, and thus formed the present
■itosystem of Royal Arch Masonry. Thb Pennßvl
• IC vania Chapters, however, still adhered to the
% Ancient York Bite, but have admitted the degrees
■of Excellent and, Mark Master into the system.
' -vQn December 17th, 1810, a committee was ap
, ’pointed by the Grand Hiram Royal Arch Chapter,
to review tho By-Laws, which was done, and
adopted December 21st, 1812. The preamble de
clares * hat Ancient Masonry consists of four
degtjees, viz.. Apprentice, Fellow Craft, Master,
i, ana the Holy Royal Arch Chapter.’ On July
ri' 16th, 1824, the Grand Royal Arch Chapter was
- made independent of the Grand Lodgo of Ma
sons. On December 23d, 1828, a new series of
regulations were adouted. In 1855, a change was
V made in the constitution of 1824, which added to
k V ’ its members * all High Priests, Bcrlbcs, and
Kings, under its jurisdiction.’ In 18—, a sepa
■-.' • rate Mark Lodge was opened, nnder warrant of
;U ; Concordia, No. 67, of Philadelphia, and worked
•My ' until 1824, when it obtained a warrant from the
Grhnd Chapter.
' *v “The first Grand Encampment in the United
States was constituted at Philadelphia, May 12th,
1797, The convention was composed of Nos. 1
■ and 2, of Philadelphia, No. 3, Harrisburg, and
“ No. 4, of Carlisle. On February 16th, 1812, Nos.
1 and 2 of Philadelphia, having united as No. 1
’■</ with No. . 2 of Pittsburgh, No. lof New York,
i r No. lof Wilmington, Dei., and No. lof Balti
mote, Md.‘, formed the second Grand Encamp
«’ ’ ment, which existed up to June 10th, 1824. In
iyivonlo.
1816, a convention was held in Philadelphia,-
when much discussion WaaVHad: in reference to
the order of conferring tho degrees aa practised,
in the New.England,States: the Pennsylvania
delegation objecting to the Mark and Excellent.
Master belonging to, tho system. :A separation
then took placo by this, New England delegation,
witodrawiog and calling a convention In. New;
York, on June 20th, 1816. This convention mot,*
: and formed the present Grand Encampment
of the U. 8. •In May, 1852,: St. John’s, No. 4,
Philadelphia, No/6, Union, No. S, and De Molay,
Reading, organized a third Grand Encampment,
nnder tho alleged authority of tho Grand Lodge,
of Pennsylvania, but that body resolved on Feb
ruary 16tb, 1857, that it had no authority over
the Templar system. A union was then perma
nently effected. ’
“The Grand Council of Royal Select Masters
was organized October 24th, 1847, In Pittsburgh.
Tho first of these subordinate Councils were. No.
1, at Washington, No. 2, at Pittsburgh,and No.
3, Washington. Texas. —
“During 1849,50 me of the Illustrious Compan
ions of the Grand Council having recelvod the
“Ineffable degrees," entertained donbts whether
the Royal and Select Master’s degrees did not ac
tually belong to the Ancient and Accepted Rite.
Various committees were appointed, time and
again, to report thereupon, anti tho Grand Coun
cil langnisbed until the 3d day of February, 1854,
when the officers of the Grand Connell, wlthont
consulting the subordhiates, surrendered their
authority over these degrees to the Grand Conn
ell of the Princes of Jerusalem, who, on that
evening, issued a Charter for a Connell of Royal
and Select Masters, to be known by the name of
Van RenseUaer Council, No. 1, to be held in the
City of Pittsburgh. This Connell afterwards
surrendered her Charter to the Priaces of Jeru
salem, and her members generally became affili
ated with Mount Moriah, No. 2. The subordi
nate Councils of the State, not recognizing the
act of the Grand Officers, called a meeting, De
cember 80th, 1864, and forthwith proceeded to
elect officers—since which period It has been
steadily increasing in numbers and Influence and
ranks, for talent and zeal, second to no Grand
Conncilin the United States.’, .
“In 1858, the M. P. GrandlM. Alfred Crelgh re
ported a mannai, which was adopted by the
Grand Council as the true work of Cryptic
Masonry. , . . _
“June 10, 1863.—Th0 Grand Council of Royal
and Select. Masters held its seventeenth annual
Assembly, In Greensburg, Westmoreland County,
Penna, sixteen Councils being represented.

The M.F. Grand Master Creigh, in his unnnal
address, suggested tho propriety of dividing the
State of Pennsylvania into nine districts, over
each of which Districts three Ghiblimlteß,should
be appointed, whose duty it shall be to make
themselvesitfqualnted with the mysteries of the

; Paius, Friday, Juno 12th, 1868.—We aUll go on
. spending in the usual magnificent style, and "lm. ,
proving” the country generally, according to tho
Imperial fashion. The dorps Lcglalatif has Just
| voted one hundred millions, to bo laid out on tho
'parish roadk throughout France. Now to “Im
prove” roads Is no doubt a very excellent thing
In itself. But it Is also equally beyond a doubt that
In bringing forward the above proposition, tho
govemmenthasbcenactuatedbyapolltiaalobject, -
quite as much as by a desire to improve the lanes
which lead llrom one French village to another.
The measure Is simply a sop thrown out, in an
ticipation of tho approaching elections, to that
rural population, whose votes have hlthorto
been the baka and main, support of tho Empire.
In other words* just as tho Imperial Government
has heretofore bribed tho. town, It now begins to
find It necessary to bribo the country; and
as milliards have been expended to keep
the ouvriera of Paris employed ;
and in good humor, so now a few millions are
being laid out for the same purposo on tho
paysam. Several reasons have led to this step.
First, there is the elections, to which, if I re
member rightly, I pointed long ago os the real
motive and object of this rood-making mania,
when It wob first mooted. But there is another
cause also. The exhibition last year bronght
thousands and hundreds ot thousands of the
French peasantry to Paris, many of them for
the first time in their lives, and however mnch -
astonished and delighted they were with the
magnificence they saw around them, it has been
found that, on their return home (so the Prefects
report), toy brought back with them no Incon
siderable amount of jealousy at, the enormous
wages and comparative luxury enjoyed by the
artisan and laboring population of the capital.
Their not unnatural reflection was that it was
rather hard that so much public money should
be expended upon a class' who: re
turn'none but Opposition members to the
Legislature! while they themselves, who first sot
up the empire.and have since maintained it, and
who never vote for any but candidats duyouveme
ment, should be comparatively neglected, and
ruined between free trade and agricultural dis
tress. And so the Government, on .this state of
feeling being reported, had to look about to see
what could be done; and the Emperor, who is
always ready at a pinch, hit npon this splendid
idea of road-making, and announced it with
all due tenderness and paternal consideration in
hlB speech from the throne. Such, lam assured,
is the true origin and progress of this last little
item of Imperial munificence. Road-making, as
I have said, is no donbt a very good thing. But
hitherto all roads except the roulesAmperiale, or
highways, were the business of the Department or
of the Commune, which had to provide for their
own wants out oftheir own funds. Now, these
also are being taught to look to the government
for help, Instead of to themselves,and bo the prin
ciple of self-dependence is still further weakened.
Nor will Prefets and Sons-prefets, Mayors and
Government candidates fall to intimate In their
election circulars next year, that if a Commune
desireß to come in for its full share of the 100
millions, there Is no Way by which it can insure
that end so effectually as by its vote 1
There have been commotions in Luxembourg,
and placards advocating annexation to France.
The Constitutionne 2,with a sort of sarcastiegravity,
reminds the authors of this movement that the
political position of Luxembourg has been set
tled by the Treaty of London, and that the great
powers of Europe are not at all disposed to allow
of its being modified. The tone of this warning
is not exactly expressive of satisfaction.
The travels of Prince Napoleon In Southern
Germany are commented upon just as his former
tour was to Berlin and the North. His object
may, very likely, be to keep the Emperor well
informed upon the real state of public feeling In
that country. But beyond that, I do not think
his “mission” extends.
Count Stackelberg, the new Russian Ambas
sador, was presented ot the Tulleries just before
the Emperor’s departure, and met with a most,
gracious reception. “The representative oi the
Emperor Alexander,” Napoleon said, “might al
ways feel sure of a cordial welcome.”
The Abbd Deguerry,Cure of the Madeleine,who
instructed the Prince Imperial In his religious du
ties, has been made officer in the Legion of
Honor, a curious reward for such an office. It
is said that he will be also raised to the rank of
Senator, although hitherto only cardinals and
archblshopß have enjoyed that honor. If so, the
Abbe will be well provided for, His cure, the
richest in France, is superior in value to any
bishopric, and is estimated at from 80,000 to
100,000 francs; the salary of Senator will add to
that 30,000 francs more. With such an income, a
Curd may contrive to live*—even in Paris!
Admiral Famfgut is one more cloße to us, and
has beer, paying a visit at Brussels. His dag-ship,
the Franklin, having too great a draught of water
for the port of Antwerp, cast anchor at Flashing,
where a polite Invitation awaited her gallant
commander to proceed to the Belgian capital.
He accordingly embarked in a small steamer .for
Antwerp, and thence went forward te-Brussels,
where he was most cordially welcomed by the
King and Queen, and a grand dinner given in his
honor at Court I understand the Admiral to
have been greatly struck by the unexampled pros
perity of the really free, though monarchical little
kingdom which he has heen visiting.
The sum deceived for entrance upon tho race
course of the Bolb de Bolougne, last Sunday,
when the grand Frix de Paris was ran for, is re
tained, I see, at 122,000 francs. Last year it
was 216,000 francs, 1 owing to the great ExhibL
tion ; and the two previous -years 124,000 and
127,000 Irenes. The Marquis of Hastings, the
winner of the prize, left behind him 7,600 francs'
for the poor, of Paris, and 2,500 for the church,
at Chantilly, which-is chiefly used by. the English:
grooms employed at the training stables of that
place.
The Italian government Is preparing, I believe,
to make a strong effort to secure the transport of
the Indian mails by the Brindisi line, \ The British
P. and O. Company, as it is called, is bound to
establish an Alcxandria-Brindisi line of steamers 1
between those two places, If required to do so by
Its government, after the 31st of December next;
and the Italian government has now, I under
stand, offered to undertake that service for the
Company. The thief impediment 1b the formal
opposition of the French government to a plan
which would entail heavy joss pn French railroads
and the port of Marseilles.

Tho Fatal Trial Trip at toe Little Weft*
.h:iL -ersi*:':, I/-:;.;!;. V,.. .
IFrom the Chicago Times. Jans S3.] 5
The experimental trip of the Little. Western,
yesterday, was attended by disastrous couse
qucnccs; the boat being up#el lu the trough of the
eca.' ond the captalnXThomaaQarrett) and Henry
Cbubolm, a newspaper reporter of this city, bo
-1 ing drowned: Captain Garrett, for over eighteen
years, was a sailor on: the ocean, for a part
of the time commanding a packet between: Kew
York and Liverpool. - Conversant .with , the
details of shipbnliding. -tffo great study
of his life has been the discovery of agencies
which would render vessels able, to woathur any
sea. The system of air-tight compartments was
the one regarded as the most available, and in tho
Little Western wero embodied his ideas of the
tho perfect vessel. Not having sufficient funds to
carry out bis design, ho became 'associated with
Prof. Legendre, of the .Chicago University, tho
latter onterlng into tho scheme solely from hu
manitarian motives. .The boat was intended as
soon as constructed to cross tho Atlantic Ocean.
The trial trip was to have been made on
Saturday; bnt owing'to tho violence of tho wind
and waves tho experiment wob postponed until
yesterday.. At 10 o'clock in tho morning a party
of gentlemen got Oh board of her, and tlioy went
out into the lake a couple of miles. They re
turned about noon.' The boat acted very well, re
sponded to her rudder, and was subjected to a
variety of tests. Tho captain and those on hoard
were thoroughly convinced of her ability to ride
safely in any sea; and upon her arrival at the
pier she was the subject of warm encomiums
from those who hod been aboard.
. At two o’clock in tho afternoon it was resolved
to make another trip, Pro essor Legendre, ono of
her owners, being desirous of sailing opposlto
his residence, Cottage Grove. Six persons ac
cordingly embarked: Capt Garrett, Prof. Legenr
dre, George Atkins, foreman of the Times, Henry
Chisholm, a newspaper reporter, R. Cheater, and
a boy whose' name is unknown. The wind was
blowing strong from the north at the time, and
the waves were rolling very high. They sailed
about three miles south, opposite the. Douglas
University," where she was ■■ capsized about
three: miles from the. shore,' Mr, Chisholm
was in the cabin et the time, the doors of which
were open, the remainder of the party being on
deck. When she rolled over, they clang to her
keel, and endeavored to rescue Mr. Chisholm;
but their efforts were ns the cabin in
stantly filled. By their united exertions the bbat
was righted, bnt the cabin being filled, became
unmanageablo and rolied over on her side. Mr.
Chester, Mr. Legendre and the boy clang to her
side, Mr. Atkins and the Captain swimming to
the masthead, to which they clung, their
bodies being in the water. The coldness of the
lake and the violence of the waves benumbed Capt.
Garrett ond hls strength failed him rapidly: , Mr.
Atkins, seeing his grasp growing weaker, called
for a line, and tied it with his hands and teeth
around tho body of. the exhausted man. The acci
dent was observed by a number of persona at
Cottage Grove, and steps were immediately taken
to reseno the parties off the boat The Uni
versity row-boat-was manned by five of the stu
dents, and, with a pluck and- vigor worthy
of all commendation, they palled out in tho di
rection of the capsized boat After a half hoar's
steady and determined effort .they reached them,

Repose is the condition of mind and body
which man, in this sublunary sphere, seeks to attain,
and it is to the proper enjoyment of tbis state of rest
that the admirable invention of the Elastic Sponge
Company has been applied. They manufacture Mat
tresses, Bolsters, Pillows, Pew, Chair, : and Carriage,
Cushions, Hassocks, &c., all filled wiih this un
rivaled material, which, while it is cheaper than either
curled hair, moss or feathers, combines all the other',
virtues of elasticity, durability, lightness, cleanliness
and healthiness., Givo it a trial; there is no snch word
