TO CORRESPONDENTS .
$ ^ The Public , and especially our Advertizing Friends , are cautioned against the man named GREEN . Dr . Crucefix has kindly consented to continue to receive confidential communications for the Editor . We are reluctantly compelled to repeat our notice that no unpaid communications whatever will be received . Dr . Oliver ' s address is Scopwick , near Sleaford , Lincolnshire .
Bro . RETTIE . — -Many thanks . Bro * CAMERON should be earlier in his future communications . Bro . SCOTT . —Thanks for a very welcome favour . Bro . HOLDEN . —The like . Bro . PILGRIM . —In weal or in woe , ever welcome . J . C . ~ We do not advise any reference on the subject at the Masters' and Wardens' Club ; it does not form a part of their object . A LONDON MASON complains pretty severely of our anonymous strictures on certain parties ,
yet unblushingly commits the same crime himself , by withholding his own name and address . Is this fair ? Is it honest ? THE GRAND S ECRETARYSHIP is an appointment in the gift of the Grand Master , not an election by Grand Lodge . It is now pretty well understood that the present " Evergreen " will resign in March , and that in April the mantle will descend on the ample shoulders of Bro . R . G . Alston , P , G . W . The salary is about £ 500 per annum . At any rate , the Craft cannot be losers by the change . A SCARBOROUGH MASON enquires if the Grand Master , or the soi-disant masonic patriot , has
ratted . Some brother versed in the science of ratting , will perhaps explain . It must have been a treat to have been present at the interview . If White was * , no doubt his tongue was in his cheek . PAnKY . —There is no occasion to break a butterfly on the wheel . The election of the child into the Female School , by unanimous consent , was a sufficient reproof to the dunderhead . GENERAL COOKE . —We cannot say whether the General has received back the subscriptions he so liberally gave to the Girls' School ; but should rather think not , as his name
appears among the Vice-Presidents as " George Cooke , Esq . " Q . C . —Some doubts having been expressed as to the true meaning of these initials , a Cambridge wag settled the question by observing that they-probably alluded to " quarrelsome company . "
THE BULLY AND THE COWARD are rank marks for contempt . A MEMBER OF THK G . M . L ( Ireland ) , requests us to correct an error in the report of the presentation of the medal to the Earl of Zetland , which should have been made on the part of the Grand Master ' s Lodge , and not by the Duke of Leinster . Our 'reporter , maintains that however unintentional , the error was committed by the Representative . A FRIEND AND BROTHER . —How strange that so excellent a correspondent should have neither name nor address . CAUTION TO MASONIC RATS . —The masonic Indigos are liberal in their promises , but it should be remembered that they prefer spaniels to bulldogs ; so they coax the latter , while the former fawningly lick the paw that strikes them . Too LATE . —Bedford , Durham , Liverpool , Chester , aud several other places .
May the Great Architect prosper the Art , and protect it against tyranny and oppression ! 3 N
