SEGONTIUM CHAPTER , No . 606 . THE annnal installation took place at Carnarvon , on the 3 rd inst ., the retiring M . E . Z . being Comp . the Rev . W . Morgan . There was a numerous attendance of members and visitors . Comps . C . H . Rees P . Z ., and C . Davies P . Z . were the Installing Principals . Comp . T . E . Harris H . ( Bangor ) waa duly installed M . E . Z ., and he appointed

The French Masonic Lodges are doing more damage to Freemasonry than the deadliest enemies of the Craft . So far , tbe hierophants of the " temple " of the Rue Cadet and elsewhere have been satisfied to pour out their wrath npon weak-kneed brethren , who allowed their wires to manage the religions side of their household , and who dared to have a sneaking desire for Christian burial .
It appears now that the " Vrais Experts and other Lodges are going for the Boulangists . After some discussion M . Laisant and M . Goussot , two Deputies , who have offended in this respect , have been solemnly executed by M . Benoit-Levy , who , needless to add , is an Opportunist . It is qnite probable that the Boulangists would have used the broom handle in the same way if they had obtained
what in French political life is called the " plate of batter . " But two wrongs do not make a right , and the Freemasons of other countries ought once more to protest against the degradation of their world-wide brotherhood by the transformation of the Lodges into centres of political fanaticism . If this be French Freemasonry , it is probable that candidates will linger npon the threshold , and that brethren
from England and America will give the Grand Orient and its branches a still wider berth than at present . A corporation which professes to hail the pioneers of liberty of conscience , and wbich is essentially religious without being sectarian , cannot afford to refurbish and use the weapons of the Spanish Inquisition . If so there will be nothing
left for it but to institute a Masonic "Auto-da-Fe , " and to frame a creed the ohief clauses of whicb will be slavish adherence to tho majority . Imagine tho excitement that would be created in England , where the Prince of Wales is the Grand Muster cf tho Freemasons , if a brother wero expelled because he was known to hold Republican or eveu Socialistic views . —Galimuini ' s Messenger .
A grand ball took place at tho Town Hall , Dover , on Tuesday . It was well attended , over oue hundred and fifty ladies and gentlemen being present , and it was successful in every way . Tho hall was most tastefully decorated with numerous flags , banners , pennons , and insignia of various kinds , aud with a number of lino flowers and plants . At the lower end of the hall a miniature fish pond and
fountain had been cunningly constructed , and this , with its surrounding evergreens and large blocks of ice , had an exceedingly pleasing effect and a cool and refreshing aspect that must havo proved grateful to tha heated dancers . The ball began about 9 * 15 p . m ., to the strains of tbe fine string band of tbe Highland Light Infantry ( nnder the able baton of Mr . John Anderson ) , and
dancing was continued until four a . m . The floor was in excellent order , and the dancers apparently enjoyed themselves to tbe utmost , if we may judge by the spirit displayed . A portion of tho old Maison Dieu Hall was set apart as a suppor-room , and here the dancers retired at intervals to recrait their jaded energies . A buffet for light refreshments was placed on the platform . The purveyor
was Mr . C . A . Fairlie , Apollonian Hall , whose efforts in thia direction seemed to be appreciated . The floral decorations wero carried out by Messrs . Burbridge and Son , Dover and Ewoll , in their customary first-rate way . The M . C . ' s were Mr . James D . Terson , Mr . Edward Lnkoy , Mr . James Wood , and Mr . Stephen White , aud these
gentlemen were assiduous in looking after the comfort of the guests , in introducing dancers , & c . The Organising Committee and the Hon . Secretary . Mr . James D . Terson , are to bo warmly congratulated on the happy result of their labours and the greafc success which the ball obtained .
The members of the Chough Lodge ( No . 2264 ) held their annual election meeting , at the Cannon-street Hotel , on the 2 nd inat ., under the presidency of Bro . G . J . Judge . Bro . Charles Mnssared , of Milton-street , was unanimously elected Worshipfnl Master for the ensuing year ; Bro . Walter B . Marcua waa reelected Treasurer ,
