HOLLOWAY ' S PILIS AND OINTMENT — Tho great variations of temperature , the togs , and the foul vapours which permeate the atmosphere try tho respiratory channels terribly ; hence arises hoarseness , quinsies , loss of voice , bronchitis , and the whole train and endless variety of throat and chest affections which now prevail . Neglect of these in their early stages is almost , criminal , ns many a life may be saved through early and prompt treatment by means of Holloway's well-known remedies .

THISTLE LODGE , No . 62 , S . C . ON Monday evening a special meeting was held , for the purpose of presenting a Past Master ' s jewel to Bro . Joseph Pogson , who for tho last three years has filled tho R . W . M . 's chair to tho honour and advantage of tho Lodge . There was a large turn . out of brethren , including Crawford W . M ., Coultart S . W ., and Cohen J . W . The Lodgo having been opened in the first degree , the S . W . called upon the W . M . to make the presentation . Bro . Crawford then very
gracefully alluded to the efficient way in which the affairs of the Lodge had been conducted during the three years Brother Pogson had acted as W . M . They had worked heartily and harmoniously together , and he must say that to present a tribute of tho Thistle Lodge to Brother Pogson was one cf the pleasantest duties he had ever had to perform . It would bo superfluous in such a company
to dwell upon the many high personal qualities of their esteemed brother , who was so well known , not only in his own Lodge , bnt in all the Lodges of the province , to whioh he had cheerfully rendered most valuable assistance . Tho handsome Masonio jewel was handed to Brother Pogson amid much cheering . It bore the following inscription : —
" Presented to P . M . Joseph Pogson by the brethren of Lodge Thistle , Dumfries . No . 62 . March 1884 . " In reply Bro . Pogson thanked the brethren for the great honour conferred npon him . Since he had been installed Master of tbe Lodge he had found himself in many difficult and trying positions , but until that moment he had never experienced what it was to be
overwhelmed . During his term of office he had received great kindness and marked courtesy from the brethren , which had assisted him to fulfil his duties with success . Ho had sncoeocled a long list of able aud honourable Masters , who had brought the Lodge int > an efficient condition , and he would have been grieved indeed had any negligence or lukewarmness on his part allowed the Lodge to suffer ,
or had any aotion of his tended to abuso the confidence so generonsly placed in him . The W . M . then called upon the S . W ., who after corroborating the remarks of the W . M . respecting Bro . Pogson , under whom he had been an office-bearer , and who had ever comported himself with beooming dignity and moderation , stated that subscriptions for the presentation flowed in so rapidly and
unexpectedly that the committee were enabled to purchase a present for Mrs . Pogson , whioh he now had the honour and pleasure of handing to their worthy brother on her behalf . Brother Pogson suitably acknowledged the gift , which consisted of a beautiful gold brooch , upon which was inscribed an expression of the respect and esteem
with which her bnsband was regarded by the Craft . The J . W . Bro . Cohen , moved a hearty vote of thanks to the testimonial committee , the vote being acknowledged by Brother Murphy . The remainder of the evening was spent with song and sentiment , the gathering throughout being a most harmonious one .

PORTSMOUTH MASONIC " AT HOME . "
THE committee of this popular class gave a juvenile party in the large Banquet Hall of the Freemasons' Club on Tuesday . Between fifty and sixty children , with their chaperones , attended , and it is only fair to state that the adults enjoyed th 9 play of Punch and Judy aud the vagaries of Johnny Stout and the prancing steel , with its attendant jockeys , as much as their moro juvenile friends .
Mr . Wilton ' s efficient band , as usual , provided a choice se option for the votaries of Terpischore , and a most agreeable and enjoyable evening was spent , tho party breaking np at twelve o'clrck . The dresses of the little folks refloated great credit on that- j ; uaidians , and afforded a most pleasing spectacle .
MR . CHARLES DU-VAL , who ^ ives his enteitainmnt , at St . J time * s Hall , is an entertainer with a method qu to his own . "Olds and Ends" is the title of a variety entertainment in which the performer presents with great success a number of humorous c ' lnrnca-a that involve strongly varied contrasts aud rapid transitions of costume . His aim is to amuse , and he succeeds admirably . In thrse
portentous times , when the shadow of tho Georgian democracy au I a hundred attendant cr ; izc 3 threilon n 3 with universal diilnes- , Mr . Du-Val's entertainment shonld be welcomed , espeei illy by all who remember , with a sense of grim irony , one ancient character , istic of onr couutry . Though we have little leisure to grow fa * , wo may still laugh and correct the serious tendency of our days with
such whimsical impersonations as Professor Dnlbore and Be'sy Scrubbe , which indeed are excalleut alternatives , as themodical men say . Mr . Du-Val's happy disguises and surprises , his pleasant humours and ready quips , should be quite as beneficial to the dys . peptic as the lights and glitter of the theatre , or the flinging of a stone—remedies so earnestly advocated by tho ingenious Mr . Green
in his witty poem of " Tho Spleen . There is no doubt about the heartino 33 of the laughter Mr . Dn-Val provokes ; it has all the con . tagious force of genuine merriment ; in Professor Dulboro's scientific lecture tho least elevatiou of the savant's eyebrow , and the slightest drop of the mouth , arouse those curious isolated outbursts , so full of individuality and so pleasant to hear , that fill tho pauses in tho
general laughter like the explosion that follows the surrender of a long-held citadel . In truth , the lecture 13 irresistibly funny . Not less good , in another style , are the female impersonations . Mrs . Clearstarch , the laundress , who has had "fifteen childer and brought 'em up respectable , " and who , in a moment , is transformed into Miss Dashaway , tho belle of the ball , shares the honours with her successor . The young lady's singing is ODO of the cleverest illusions
in the programme . Better than these , moro racy , moro c mplete and distinct , is the maid of all work , Betsy Scrubbe . Another notable feature in the entertainment is Mr . Pallette ' s exhibition of portraits , where the face 3 of prominent public characters are ve-y clt-verly imitated . The entertainment is altogether remarkable for its versatile humour , the never-failing spirits of the unassisted impmMoiuit . or , and a commendable freedom from vulgarity . —Saturday Review .
