The highest classes of tobacco , however , are converted into the well-known " Dragoumis , " for which the Alexandria Cigarette Company have gained a deservedly high reputation , and we have no hesitation in saying , after a practical test so far as our taste and judgment permit , that they are superior to any we have yet tried , either imported or otherwise . — Whitehall Review Their latest brand , " Dragoumis , " made of a skilful blend of fine Egyptian tobaccos , is full of flavour , yet delicately fragrant enough to please the most fastidious palate . We shall be surprised if "Dragoumis" do not prove the cigarette of the season . —Pump Court .

Original Correspondence.

Original Correspondence .

QUEBEC VERSUS ENGLAND . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , I have read with great interest the articles by Bro . Graham , P . G . M ., on this subject , but , unfortunately , I have not seen Bro . Hughan ' s letters on the same matter . I have been very fraternally watching for some

correspondence ot editorial comment on the question , but up to the present issue ( July 28 th ) none has appeared . Bro . Graham is apparently well qualified to place the Quebec side before the Masonic brethren in its best li ght , but he must pardon me , as a young Mason , if 1 point out that he appears to have overlooked tho free part of the Mason , and would wish to force the free Mason to become a bond

Mason , inasmuch as he would compel all Masons or Masonic lodges , against their wills , to become subordinate to some particular Grand Lodge other than their mother Grand Lodge . 1 must admit that 1 am " unconvinced of the correctness of the Quebec constitutional and historical contentions , " & c , for 1 have always held , and must hold until it is clearly shown that I am wrong

, that a lodge of any Constitution if established in a Colony or District before a Grand Lod ge of that Colony or District isformed , has a perfect ri ght to remain faithful to the mother Grand Lodge if the members decide so to do ; but alter that Colonial Grand Lodge isformed , no more lodges

of the mother Constitution can be founded in that particular province . "Freemasonry requires a perfect freedom of will , " How can there be a perfect freedom of will if the old lodge is forced to join a new Constitution ?—Yours frater .. nally ,
