The " Freeman ' s Journal , " writing under the heading " United Italy , " says there is a grim irony in writing the word , in view of the actual state of affairs in that unhappy peninsula ,
and continues : the " Liberals " and Freemasons are doing everything in their power to galvanise into life the forthcoming fetes in celebration of what is officially called " the twenty-fifth anniversary of the liberation of Rome . "
o o o We have just read of a case in a Tasmanian Lodge , where a Brother received his third degree , his Grand Lodge Certificate and Clearance , in one evening . Some sister Constitutions appear
to be able to provide for a case of emergency in a very satisfactory manner . Had this happened under the E . G ., the Brother ( who was leaving the country ) would have been forced to wait for his G . L . C . for an indefinite period and , possibly , lose interest in the Order in the meantime . — " Indian Freemason . "
Messrs . Cassell and Company have decided to issue their well-known illustrated serial , " Heroes of Britain in Peace and War , " in monthly parts at one penny , to be completed in twenty-two numbers . The price at which this work is now issued is less than one-fifth its original cost . Each number will contain no fewer than thirty-two quarto pages , handsomely illustrated and enclosed in a neat wrapper .
In reference to Mr . F . J . Cross ' s work , " Beneath the Banner , " recently published by Messrs . Cassoll and Company , of which a third edition is now in preparation , Lord Wolseley has written to the author , " I am much obliged to you for your little book , which , as far as I can judge from looking through
its pages , seems to be one well calculated to inspire young people with an admiration for heroism , and therefore with tho desire to imitate the examples of the heroes and heroines whose deeds aro described in your little work . "
In " The Quiver for September the Editor makes a special appeal on behalf of the children of the slums in London , and other large cities . Ho hopes , with the assistance of his readers and the co-operation of thoso interested in the subject , to open up playgrounds for children and places of
rest for weary toilers in the over-crowded portions of the metropolis and largo provincial towns . The proprietors of " The Quiver" will head the list of subscriptions with a donation of £ 100 , in addition to bearing all the expenses connected with the organisation of the fund . *
