Our Weekly Budget.
in that island . The Austrian military manoeuvres are about to commence , H . R . H . the Duke of Connaught having left Loudon ou Thursday evening for the continent , in order to be present at them .
We announce , on the authority of the Graaf Rexnet ' Herald , that the contemplated division of Cape Colony into three districts for Masonic purposes , finds favour with the majority of the Lodges , and our contemporary is of opinion that the measure cannot fail to promote the efficiency and
welfare of the Craft . The brethren in the Eastern provinces have for a long time experienced the greatest inconvenience , owing to the great distance at which they are situated as regards the District Grand Lodge . Representations were accordingly made to the proper authorities , and
it has been decided to portion out the colony , as we have stated , in three Masonic districts . Already steps are being taken to procure the election of some eminent brother to preside over the new district of the Eastern Division of South Africa , and we trust , in the interest of the Craft , that the choice will fall on the worthiest member of our Community .
The same journal expresses a certain amount of dissatisfaction at the proposed establishment , in Richmond , of a new Lodge under the English Constitutions , there being already a Dutch Lodge located in the town . Our contemporary regrets that in so small a place the brethren should be divided . It admits there are certain circumstances
which have given rise to unpleasant feelings , but it considers it would be far wiser to try and remedy these grievances than to divide a body so inconsiderable in point of numbers . It further announces , on the authority of the Field—a colonial journal , not our contemporary of the same
name hailing from the Strand—that a Masonic ball on a grand scale was held at Kimberley , in the month of July . The guests numbered some 450 , and included the Administrator of the Diamond fields , and his Secretary , the only two non-Masons present . Bros . Tymms and Graham , the
W . M . s of the two Lodges—Cosmopolitan , No . 1409 , and Richard Giddy , No . 1574—received His Excellency very cordially . The ball was a great success , the arrangements being admirably managed , and the scene , what with the gay dresses of the ladies , the regalia of the brethren , and the decorations of the Hall , was very animated .
According to the Keystone , Bro . Rob . Morris , LL . D ., has written and published twenty-one volumes on Masonic subjects . The first—Lights and Shadows of Freemasonrywas published in the year 1852 , while the most recent—Freemasonry in tlteHoluLand—made its appearance only four
years , since in 1872 . From the same source we learn that the first Masonic work published by Bro . Cornelius Moore , Editor-in-Chief of the Masonic Review , appeared in 1846 ,
bearing the title of The Craftsman . Others of the same author ' s works , such as his Ancient Charges , Outlines of the Temple , and Leaflets of Masonic Biography , have long enjoyed a wide degree of popularity .
We regret to announce the decease of a most estimable Masonic journal—the Canadian Masonic Neivs . Our American advices say the Editor would gladl y have given his time and labour for the first year or two without any
expectation of reward , but this liberality met with no proper response from Canadian Craftsmen . The news is not very encouraging to Masonic journalists in this , or , indeed , in any country .
The Hebrew Leader says that the Masonic Orphans ' House of Kentuck y has now one hundred and thirty-one orphans and eight widows as inmates . It likewise announces that a xMason in South Carolina , having recently sold some liquor on Sunday , was indefinitely
suspended . On appeal , however ,, Grand , Lodge mitigated the punishment to live years' suspension only . In Indiana no brother is permitted to sell liquor , either wholesale or retail . We consider Freemasonry is not justified in
interfering with the private affairs of its members . It is open to a Lodge to reject all candidates who are keepers of liquor stores , but having admitted such into the fellowship of Freemasons , it has no business to say they shall not follow

When the Grand Lodge of New York holds its annual communications in the new Masonic Hall , dedicated to the purposes of Freemasonry in June of last year , the adjacent streets , says our friend the Neiv York Square , are laid with tan bark , so that the noise of passing vehicles may in no
wise disturb the deliberations of the assembly . We are likewise informed that 2256 votes were cast for the various Grand Officers , each Lodge being allowed but a single
representative . Though the attendance is so great , the utmost order prevails , and though the Hall is of great extent , the Grand Master ' s voice can be distinctly heard in every part of the room .
We read , m the New York Courier , that great preparations are being made in that city , for the approaching conclave of the Grand Commandery , in the month of October . It is even suggested that the Templar parade on this occasion will surpass that of the 1 st June , in
Philadelphia . It is also not improbable that the unveiling of the statue of General the Marquis de la Fayette may be held during the session of the Conclave , instead of , as already announced , in this present month . As the Marquis was made a Knight Templar in New York , our
contemporary thinks the participation of the Grand Commandery in the ceremonial would be only paying a just tribute of respect to the memory of one who had deserved so well of the United States . In such case , it is hinted that , probably , Commanderies from other States might be induced to visit the city .

The Prmce of Wales having most graciously signified his compliance with the request of the Lord Provost of Glasgow that he would lay the foundation stone of the neAv Post Office erecting there , Bro . Bain , the Lord
Provost , has now requested Sir Michael Shaw Stewart , Grand Master Mason of Scotland , to solicit H . R . H ., who is the Grand Patron of the Order in Scotland , to perform the ceremony with full Masonic honours ,
From the well known loyalty of the Scottish Craftsmen , as well as their desire to do honour to the Prince , not only as their Patron , but also as G .
