Diary For The Week.
The last meeting for the year of the Board of Benevolence was held on Wednesday evening , at Freemasons ' Hall , Bro . Robert Grey , President of the Board , presiding . The Senior aud Junior Vice-Presidents , Bros . James Brett and C . A . Cottebrnne , occupied their respective chairs . Bros . Colonel Shadwell H . Gierke Grand Secretary , A . A .
Pendlebury Assistant Grand Secretary , W . Dodd , aud W . H . Lee represented Grand Secretary's office ; there wore also present Bros , the Rev . J . Studholme Brownrigg , Perryman , Lucking , Mercer , Garrod , Brown , Monteuuis , Chapman , Belton , Grieve , Shedd , Hogard , Woodward , Banker . Taylor . Letchworth . Devan , Birch , Newton , Mote ,
Archer , Grice , Webber , Dehane , Powell , Spinks , Bateman , Massey , Cox , Brooke , Clark , Adams , Ransford , Salter , Lister , Mayer , Shepherd , Wing , Darck , Dickey , Bilby , Weeks , Graham , Parker , Orme , Dodner , Douglas , Farwig , Cantle , Harbord , Emblin , and Sadler . The brethren first confirmed recommendations made at the former meeting to
the extent of £ 170 . There were thirty-nino cases on the new list . Five of the cases were deferred , being incomplete , and one was dismissed , not being within tbe rules of the Board of Benevolence . The remainder were relieved with a total sum of £ 782 . There were in this sum two
recommendations to Grand Lodge of s 850 each ; five to the Grand Master of £ 40 each ; and six of £ 30 each . There were also 11 immediate grants of £ 20 each ; two of £ 15 each ; four of £ 10 each , two of £ 5 each , and one of £ 2 .
A recent issue of the Universe contains the following : — The Freemasons of Portugal are much shocked at the impiety of the patriarch of Lisbon , Cardinal Neta . It appears that in the course of hia funeral sermon His Eminence remarked that the deceased King had need of the prayers of his subjects , as it was
evident , notwithstanding his many virtues , that he must have committed many venial sins in his lifetime , and might therefore be still in purgatory . Now , of course , no Catholic who remembered his Catechism , or who attended to his religious duties , would see any thing strange in the patriarch's remarks ¦ to pray for the soul of
the deceased monarch would seem to him to be the most obvious and practical way of showing his affection for him . But the Freemasons of Portugal aud France are indignant at the suggestion that King Luis's soul did not ascend straight to eternal bliss . This is refreshing to hear from members of an Order whioh has expunged the name of God from its books—whose motto is , Ni Dieu ni Mailre — " Neither God nor Master . "
Even our very respectable contemporary , the Paris Figaro , is horrified . Listen to its plaintive protest : —After having been the model of constitutional Sovereigns , after having proved himself a good son , a good husband , a good father , having left to his subjects the memory of all his virtue ? , and being regretted by them as no
other King could be , having died a sincere Christian , with the Apostolic Benediction , and after having a who ' . e nation regretting him and praying for the ivpose of his soul ; all this is of no avail , it would seem , for King Luis ' s soul is still in purgatory . The Figaro is evidently much disturbed in its tonsorial soul at the
possible consequences of the patriarch s sermon j it might even bring about a schism in Portugal , and what grief and consternation there would be in the Lodges throughout Europe . Bat the most comic part of the article is where its writer explains to the public
the grave significance of the patriarch's utterance as being no lees than a " formal disavowal of the absolution pronounced over the dying King by the Pope's Nuncio . " We strongly recommend this theme for development by our Protestent contemporaries in England .
We often wonder how our ancestors , of the " good old times , " used to create an appetite , or add to the taste of the good things provided for their use . They had none of the sauces and other delicacies whioh at the present day seom indispensable , and yet we are told they enjoyed life to a good old age . We are afraid this statement
must be accepted with great reserve j no doubt many of our fore - fathers enjoyed good appetites and good digestion , but many more of them must have suffered a martyrdom which , happily , is not forced upon us at tho present day . Among the many good things provided in order to tempt us to a meal , help us to ieliah it , and at the same
assist digestion , may specially be mentioned the productions of Messrs . Gordon and Dil worth , a firm long established and well known in America , who are now represented in this country , at 119 Minories E . G ., by Mr . Elias Jessurun . Among the specialities of the firm are their Tomato Catsup and Sauce , both of which are excellent
and well worthy a trial . The Catsup is made but once a year , in Tomato season , from tho whole fresh Tomatoes , and has a particular piquanoy attained only by the new process of this firm . It is the only sauce on the market made entirely of Tomatoes , and is really the popular national sauce of America . Among the many other good
things provided by this firm may be mentioned Preserved , Canned and Brandy-Fruits , Fruit-Jellies , Syrups and Jams , Vegetables , Salad-Dressing , Blackberry Brandy , Mince Meat , Plum Pudding , Olives and Capers , Sweet Pickles , Wine Jellies , Soups , Sauces , & c , but * wo strongly advise our readers to send for a fall illustrated catalogue and price list , or ask their local tradesman to procure them one .
