OUR VOLUNTEERS.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —I am sorry to say that there is every probabibty of there being i\o Volunteer re view on the Prince of "Wales' birthday, now fast approaching (at least tlie officer commanding the district so wills it). This, I think, is really too bad, as I believe nearly every Volunteer looks forward to these reviews with con siderable pleasure ; at least it is so with the members of our company, as they intend to proceed to the Thames to take part in the review down there on that day in the event of there not being one in Auckland. Hoping, sir, that you will put a spoke in the wheel for those Volunteers who are desirous of performing their self-imposed duties with pleasure to themselves and to the benefit of the force at large, I am, &c, A Volunteer.

PRIZE-FIRING.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —Being on the parade ground last night when Major Gordon gave it out that Mr Kohn, of Queen street, had signified to him, (Major Gordon) that two prizes would be given by the above-named gentleman, I -was much surprised at hearing that the said prizes were to be competed for by the Bri gade and Rifle Association. Now, Mr Editor, I can say without fear of contradic tion that at the time that the worthy Major was making the above announcement, out of the four hundred Volunteers who were listening to him, not perhaps ten out of that number could or would be allowed to fire for Mr Kohn's prizes, notwithstanding that tlie companies addressed by the Major are the cream of the Auckland Volunteers, aud the truth of this statement the Major command ing can vouch for. Trusting that these few remarks will cause Mr Kohn to throw open to all Volunteers the prizes mentioned by Major Gordon on this well-attended parade of last night.—l am, &c., A One-Eyed Gun ner.

MISS ROSE EVANS.

Thou'rt leaving us fair actress, Gentle, soul-delighting Rose ; Going from us, ere the summer, In its floral beauty glows. Our evenings, long and dreary, Very dreary would have been Had'st thou not made t em pleasant With thy genius, little Queen ! Thy Olive and thy Samlet, Life-like, natural, pleased us well ; And now, with lingering echoes, Comes, perchance, thy last farewell.

Erom Auckland thou are passing, Like a form of life and light ; Or a frail barque, onward, onward, From the narrow range of sight.

FREEMASONRY

Dh. W. E. Bedolfe, of the Sphynx Lodge of Freemasonry Camberwell, has published a continuation of his researches in authentic history in relation to Freemasonry with the view of shewing that the mysterious

craft is of Roman origin : —" After an erudite and philosophical preface they author launches into the headship of lodges, pointing out that the Worshipful Master is to his branch of tbe Order exactly what

the chief of the Tribunes was in ancient Rome—the Magister or ruler of the Collegium or Lodge, and was held in high esteem, in support of which he quotes Csesar, who speaks of the Roman Operium (Master of Works), Magister Curiae ( Master of the Municipal College ), Master of the Arval Brethren, whos badge was a crown of wheat ears with a white band. The simile of the two is further traced by allusion to the historic fact that it was the Master of the ancient society who could legally take the omens, so essential in all Roman affairs, and invoke the Deity at the opening and the closing of a lodge, thus acting as priests of the institution. In conjunction with this peculiar office he announces that which is too little known even among brethren of the Order—viz., that a perfect or past master ( one who has formerly held office for a period ) is decorated with the symbolical Triangle, and that this is de monstrated in Euclid, Book I, Problem 47 —a problem which was discovered by Pythagoras, who is said to have sacrificed a whole hecatomb of oxen as a buifnt offering to the Most High in gratitude for his having so inspired him.

When the great Samian Sage his noble problem found, A hundred oxen dyed with their life-blood the ground- Of the different grades of degrees in Freemasonary the very likeness of the forms to those of the Colegium are insisted upon as proof of Roman origin by an argument that the characterestics of every institution point to their paternity, just as the Buddhist religion of China is known to be of Hindoo origin because its terms and conditions are Hindoo, and so with numerous other cases of historic worth. And in like manner some of the modern customs of Rome are shown to have had their origin in that which gave birth to Freemasonary ; although the Romans have donned caps of other colours to attract the sense of mankind from an origin which t hey fain would blind for cogent reasons, which it is unnecessary to particularize here. The three degrees of the Graft are shown to have been observed among the Roman builders, who constituted them selves into a guild for trade and archi tectural purposes: those of the lower degree being operative working masons (now resembled by initiates), who remained there permanently ; those of a higher social rank or education (now symbolised by the members of the second degree) remaining so only for a stipulated time, or until found "worthy" to be advanced to the third or highest degree. This triple division is founded on the three degrees propounded _£■-225E_tbagoras, who is termed the founder w. v \ sn philosophy, the illustrious origin . atoA "the mathematical school, and the expottiider of the mathematical system of tho universe, which he reduced to a de monstrative science ; He first made music malleable.

William Cobbet says, in one of his books, a man who gives his children habits of industry provides for them better than by giving them a fortune. . The Wanganui Chronicle understands that Capt. William M'Donnellhas been temporarily appointed to the office of native interpreter to the Resident Magis-, trate's Court, Wanganui. A spiritualist friend of ours, who was having his haiivcut, was delighted at being aiked whether Jie would likp a J»edii;r» !?rusb,

A curious and romantic bequest has just been made to a servant in Jersey, the cir cumstances of which are as follows :— Nearly twenty years ago the daughter of a professional gentleman in London ran away with her father's coachman, a man named Smith, and married him, and was therefore disinherited by her irritated parent. The runaways settled in Jersey, and the other day the huband, who had been earning some 12s per week, was informed, while employed digging potatoes in his garden, that his wife's father was dead, and left him property valued at L 23.000. Mosgiel Tweeds, of Otago manufacture, are now in demand in the London market. They are a decided novelty, and excellent quality ; and yet at a distance of 1 ,(.00 miles from the place twhere they are produced, and from the people whose interest and profit it is to prefer the home production to the imported article, their excellence is discerned and appreciated before we bestow even a passing notice on the child of our own industry. Truly a Prophet hath-no honor in his own country ; but it is not " colonial" to " sneeze at" a profit. The time has come when the nether extre ities of every New Zealand man and boy should be clothed in stuff of the homo production. Samuel Coombes has just received a parcel of the above Tweeds from the manufactory, and not oniy hopes that they will be extensively sought for, but expects every public spirited man to "go in" for at least one pair of Mosgiel Tweed Trousers.
