be promoted , and the happy effects that result from it . The sermon has been published by command , and is dedicated to the R . W . Bro . the Rev . John Huyshe , Prov . G . M ., and the other Grand Officers of the province of Devon .

Lecture On The War.

LECTURE ON THE WAR .

Bro . Colonel Wigginton , W . M . 1298 , recently delived a lecture at St . Paul ' s National Schools , Canonbury , on his " Trip to Sedan . " The lecturer passed rapidly over the journey from London to Antwerp , Brussels , and Bouillon , commencing his subject at the latter place by describing the castle

erected by Godfrey de Bouillon , a name well-known in England ' s history , and the advantage the colonel and his companions derived from the Masonic introduction given by Bro . Distin , of the English Hotel , Antwerp . We give tiiis in his own words : " Tired and wet , we at last reached the Hotel de la

Porte ( the best hotel in the place ) , where our entrance was greeted , not by obsequious waiters or smiling lasses , but by a stench that fairly staggered us . Imagine the smell of a large , crowded , badly-ventilated stable , in early morn , at first opening the door ; and you may have a faint idea of the

odours that we expected were to attend us at the dinner-table , coffee-room , and sleeping-berths . Stifling our feelings—as the smell stilled our olfactory nerves-we ferretted out the landlady ' s sacred domain , and presented our John Bull Distin ' s introduction ; when , after sundry questions being put to us , we

were handed over tc the care of a pretty little lass , who tripped upstairs before us to the best room in the house , where we espied two beds , in one of which she informed us Napoleon slept upon his journey from Sedan to captivity , the room being now called ' Napoleon ' s room . ' And here we found

the value of Bro . Distin ' s recommendation . What he said in his note we know not , but the result was , immediate ( and the best ) accommodation ; for three diys afterwards , at Sedan , we met two poor fellows who asked us how we were treated at Bouillon , for the night they saw us arrive , they told us , they were

turned out of' Napoleon s room , ' and had to turn about for a bed , getting one at last in a peasant ' s cottage ! These were non-Masonic Englishmen I Commend me hereafter to a body calling itself Masonic , the mysterious agency of which can reach even the landlady of an hotel , when over-politeness

and consideration , at that busy time , were conspicuous by their absence . I have experienced the gentle influence of the gentle Craft before , but here was a marvellous illustration of its power , it being felt most mysteriously by one of that sex which , as a rule , arc steeled against , and jealous of ,

i ' . s influence . Suffice it to say , that at Antwerp , Brussels , and Bouillon it opened gates that would have been fast barred against us , and cleared a road that would otherwise have been beset by difficulties . " We cannot follow the lecturer through two and a half hours' discourse ; suffice it to say , that it was

full of incident , and that the audience were held spell-bound , as it were , till its conclusion , when long-continued acclamations testified 10 their appreciation of what was unanimously accepted as an intellectual treat . Col . Wigginton proposed to deal further with the battle-field of Sedan , when we hope the charity for which he exerted himself will be largely benefited .

REPORT of Dr . Arthur Hill Hassall , Analyst of the " Lancet" Sanitary Commission , Author of " Food and its Adulterations , " & c , & c , on Mayar ' s Semolina : " I have carefully tested , chemically and microscopically , the samples of Semolina sent by Messrs . L . Mayar & Co ., 36 , Mark Lane , London , E . C . I find them to he perfectly genuine , of excellent quality , and eminently nutritious . They contain a very large percentage of

nitrogenous matter , chiefly gluten , and are far more nutritious than any other food , such as Arrowroot , Tapioca , Sago , Corn Flour , Farinaceous Food , ordinary Wheat Flour , or any of the Cereals in use as food in this country . — ( Signed ) ARTHUR HILL-HASSALL , M .

CROSBY ' BALSAMIC COUGH ELIXER —Opiates Narcotics , and Squills are too _ often invoked to give relief in Coughs , Colds , and all Pulmonary diseases . ^ Instead of such fallacious remedies , which yield momentary relief at the expense of enfeebling the digestive organs and thus increasing that debility which lies at the root of the malady , modern science points to Crosby ' s Balsamic Cough Elixer , as the true remedy . —Select Testimonial . Dr . Rooke , Scarboroughauthor of the "Anti-Lancet , " says : "I have

repeat-, edly observed how very rapidly and invariably it subdued cough , Pain , and irritation of the chest in cases of pulmonary consumption , and I can , with the greatest confidence , recommend itasa most valuable adjunct to an otherwise strengthening treatment for this disease . " —This medicine , which is free from opium and squills , not only allays the local irritation , hut improves digestion and strengthens the constitution Hence it is used with the most signal success es
