Masonry Eleven Thousand Years Ago In America.

to-day cannot be the language of 11 , 500 years ago , or even ono thousand years ago , —language is too variable for that . Proud as we should be to think that America is the old world ( so to speak ) , and the seat of the earliest

civilisation , and that Freemasonry existed here 11 , 000 years atro , with all due respect we must say that Dr . Le plongeon has not presented to us facts that warrant any such conclusion . He gives Philadelphia the just credit of

having , in 1732 , a Masonic Lodge , " held in Tun Tavern , ' bat he mistakenly says : " Henry Price was the first Provincial Grand Master , appointed by the Grand Lodge of England on April 30 th , 1783 . " The records themselves

of the Grand Lodge of England show that Daniel Coxe ¦ was the first Provincial Grand Master , for New York , New Jersey and Pennsylvania , appointed on June 5 , 1730 . Bro . Le Plongeon ' s work is illustrated with over thirty

engravings , including a ground plan of the " Temple of Mysteries , " Cross-bones and Skeletons carved on the cornice of the Sanctuary , extracts from the Troano MS ., and a map of the Maya Empire . The work is dedicated

to Mr . Pierre Lorillard , through whoso liberal patronage it was published . Bro . Le Plongeon tells us he has a work in MS . entitled " Monuments of Mayax , and their Historic Teachings , " which he says throws much additional light

upon America ' s antiquities . It no doubt has value , but if it should claim less , it might prove more . The author begins the volume under review by saying : " Not a few , and I among them , earnestly believe that Masonry existed before Adam was created . I believe it , because I am

convinced that this pretended ancestor of man is a mythand has never existed . " Dr . Le Plongeon doubts so much himself , that he will doubtless pardon us for doubting whether Masonry existed in Yucatan 11 , 500 years ago . — Keystone .

LODGE HISTORIES .

CENTENARY OF THE PHCENIX LODGE , NO . 257 .

ON Saturday , the 31 st tilt ., a Masonic ceremony that will long bo remembered by those who had the pleasure of taking part in it , was conducted in connection with the 100 th birthday of the Phoenix Lodge , and in presence of the Right Hon . the Earl of Lathon ) , Deputy Grand Master of England , W . W . B . Beach , Esq ., M . P ., J . Lo Feuvre Esq ., the Provincial and Deputy Provincial Gtaud Masters of Hampshire and the Isle of VVight , most of tho Officers of

the Provincial Grand Lodge , several Masters of Lodges , and a very large number of other influential Masons of the district , including amongst others Sir Samuel Wilson , M . P . Tho ceremony was conducted jointly by Lord Lathom and Col . Crease , R . M . A ., the Master of the Lodge , although it is right to say that the greater part of the work rested on the shoulders of the latter gentleman , who is an enthnsiastic Mason . The brethren having assembled in the

handsome and commodious building in Highbnry-street , Portsmouth , and the usual processions having taken place , the Earl of Lathom briefly addressed the gathering , stating the pleasure that it gave him to attend the Centenary Festival of so renowned a Lodge as that of the Phoenix of Portsmouth . He congratulated the members of the Lodge upon its long list of distinguished Masters ; he was sure that it had

done good service not only in the neighbourhood of Portsmouth , bat to Masonry in general , and nothing would give him greater pleasure than to come amongst them on many occasions , but he must ask them to remember that , in addition to his public duties , he had the honour to discharge those of Grand Master of a large Northern province . He took the greatest interest in Masonry , and he was glad

to find it flourishing in the South , as it undoubtedly did in the North of England . The warrant for the constitution of the Lodge and the warrant for the centenary jewel having been read , the following interesting historical memorandum , giving the names of distinguished members of tho Lodge , was read by Bro , J . Ilidd Hayniau , who , at its conclusion , received the cordial and grateful thanks of the Lodge for

tho trouble he had taken in its compilation . The Phcoiiix Lodge was constituted under a warrant of the Grand Lodge of England , dated the 20 th of May 1780 , but from tho fact that tho Royal Arch Chapter attached to it is considerably older than the Lodge itself , and that twenty years prior to this there were no less than five lodges in existence in Portsmouth , there is very little

doubt that the Lodge whoso centenary was celebrated on Saturday was a revival of a much older one .

^ . at private rooms ; and from 185-1 to the present time at tho Lod ge Rooms , 110 iligh-streut , which vvero formerly the mess rooms ° f the Iloyal Murine Artillery . Tho first VV . M . was Bro . Samuol Palmer , a P . M . of King George Lod ge , Sunderland , aud among tho founders was Thomas Telford , tho celebrated engineer , who , his biographer records , took a warm interest in tho welfare of the Lodge . Bro . Palmer was succeeded in tho office by Bro , John Rankin , his S . W ., who presided over the
