TRIBUTE OF KESPECT FROM A POPULAR PRE- LATE.
(From Halifax Herald.
Among the numerous letters received by Sir Charles Tupper and the committee of management, on the occasion of the recent banquet at Amherst, was one from His Lordship Bishop Rogers, of Chatham, N. B., which, being received too late to be read at the banquet at Ambherst, was one of His Lordship Bishop Rogers, of Chat- ham, N. B., which, being received to late to be read at the banquet, has been for- oe us for publication. It is as fol- ows: —
My Dear Sir Cuarirs,—
My object in writing to you now is to add to those of your friends at Amherst, my humble valedictory good wishes for you and yours in the future, and my thanks and congratulations for your past political services to Canada since the day of your first election, twenty-nine years ago, to represent Cumberland in the Provincial Parliament of Nova Scotia.
On that day (being then the R. C. clergy- man stationed in Cumberland) | heard with pleasure your eloquent address, spoken from the platform erected outside the court houee of Amherst; and since then I hare followed your career as an able national statesman, with ever-increasing admiration. I do not wish this to apply to each and every one of your political acts, in detail, for some of them never came to my con- sideration, and with others I might not coincide either on account of the teachings of my church or on account of my personal preference of other views—such as is con- sistently the case in a mixed population where each enjoys the freedom of his own opinion, and respecta the similar right in his neighbor.
But my admiration is for the general aim, tendency and effect to your whole course, which has been to build up and censolidate the Dominion of Canada, to develope its re- sources, to increase its credit and wealth and reputation, and to facilitate the mutual intercourse and trade of its people by easy and abundant means of inter-communica- tion—especially railways.
The clear mind, active energy, firm will, broad views, and assiduous industry em- ployed by you as a leading statesman in the service of your country have not failed to produce their natural results—the at advancement of all the interests of the country, and the material and social com- forts of its inhabitants of every class and party.
Therefore it is right and just that your constitutents of Cumberland are te meet you at Amherst on the eve of your depar- ture for London to continue your patrietic services in a higher sphere, not merely to give you a farewell banquet, but to testify their high and grateful appreciation of the honor and benefit which your native country has derived irom its distinguished son and ever faithful parliamentary representative. In this they do honor to themselves by ren- dering honor to whom honor is due, to him who has merited well of them and of his country.
As aformer resident of Cumberland at the time ef your first election, in which I may have somewhat aided, acting in sym- pathy with the then archbishop, clergy, and Roman Catholic people of the whole archdiocese of Halifax ; as an old acquaint- ance who often met you in our respective professional visits to the sick ; asa warm sympathizer with the policy of those who advocated the confederation of our former isolated provinces to organize them into one united and prosperous Dominion of Canada, and for the sake of him who has departed to a better world, whom I ever revered as father and friend, the late ven- erated Archbishop Connolly, of happy memory, who cherished for you such a high esteem—I write you these lines of valedictory greeting and cordial good will —earnestly wishing all legitimate happi- ness to yourself and to your amiable wife, Lady Tupper, and to all near and dear to you. May you live many happy and pros- perous years to continue to shed honour and benefit on your native province and her confederated sisters of the Domin ion of Canada, as well as to render vener- able services to the mother country, is the sincere wish of him who has the honour to be, my dear Sir Charles,
Your humble servant and friend, + James Rooers, Bishop of Chatham, Chatham, N. B.

The Pope on Freemasonry.
(Scottish American Journal.)
Clearly, the Pope has been ‘‘putting his foot in it.” By the gross ignorance which he has displayed in his encyclical letter re- garding the constitution, history and object of Freemasonry, he has done more damage to Roman Catholicism than has been done by the centuries of Protestant assaults,
The keystone of the Roman Cathoiic faith is belief in the Pope’s infallibity; and yet in that letter Pope Leo hassimply made a laughing stock of himself.
This is greatly to be regretted. Impar- tial observers cannot fail to see the good object he has in view. He wishes to put down such Secret Societies as the Irish Invincibles that have been shown to exist in Ireland, America, and elsewhere, and he has simply been misled, and has confound- ed these societies with Freemasonry. It is well known to all—except perhaps the Pope and his advisers—that it is just the very reverse of what he represents it in that letter. When he speaks of ‘‘the blind obedience demanded of its votaries,” he shows that he knows nothing of Free- masonry. He has been reading the reports of some of the Irish trials, and learnt that members of the Secret Societies there take oath to carry out the decrees of the inner circles, withvut question, whatever they
‘may be. Bat all know that there is nothing of that kind connected with Freemasonry, A good Mosson indeed would scorn to be a member of any such society, or to aid in anything in carrying out their now weil known objects.
A very little reflection upon the many exalted laymen and eminent clergymen, of all creeds, who are Freemasons, might have | shown Pope Leo the mistake he had made,
The Prince of Wales would not hold high office in a fraternity whose object was the overthrow of civil and religious liberty, or of dynasties, or of social order ; nor would sO many ministers of religion. Only a few weeks ago a minister iz Fife preached from his own pulpit a special sermon to his mys- tic brethren. What a mockery that sermon would have been had Freemasonry been what the Pope represents it !
But, as we have said, the Pope has simply been misled, and has somehow con- founded Freemasonry _with Nihilism, or with the many Irish diabolical secret societies, which have no resemblance to it. Practically in these days Freemasonry is simply a world-wide benevolent society that alleviates much distress and suffering, and so is most deserving of encouragement and support; but then when societies are pro- ductive of nothing except evil, and every days’ experience tends to show the necessity for combination to stamp them out root and branch.

A Serious Joker.
A REMINISCENCR OF THE LATE ARTEMUS
WARD. ‘Two days before the unveiling of the Perry monnment,’ says Robert Mc Wade to a Cleveland Press reporter, ‘I came to Cleveland and first met Artemus Ward. At that time, his reputation was not as extend- ed as it afterward became, and I was puzzled to determine when the man waa joking and when he was inearnest. ‘Now,’ aaid Arte- mus, ‘the Academy of Music is closed, but we ll go around to the Opera House,’ and he led me a devious route through streets and alleys to a store in which some itinerant side showman had temporarily located. He never smiled sas he inquired the price of reserved seats, and graveiy paid his ten cents. As we stepped inside a young man was playing a wheezy organ. Artemus stopped him, and in a tone of surprise ask- ed him : ** Yeu have not always been en- gaged in this mental occupation, surely ? Have I not seen you in a more exalted position, one more befitting your merits ? The young man was delighted, and can- didly told us that he had been connected with a circus, but that it had become stranded, and that he was forced for a time to accept anything that offered. Artemus gave him a solid chunk of encouragement, and we passed on to where a flashily dress- ed young lady was coiling huge snakes around her neck. It wasa most disgust- ing exhibition. Artemus immediately dotfed his hat and stood before the girl in an attitude of the most reverential astonish- ment. Then he suddenly ejaculated : ‘Sublime ! And I am informed, my dear young lady, that you really insert the head of one of those serpeuts in yoar mouth !” The girl proudly replied that she did. ‘‘Would you kindly oblige us?’ asked Artemus, with a bow. She did, and, turn- ing to the crowd, Ward asked: ‘‘Is not that sublime ? Can any one now doubt the superiority of the human over the lower order of beings? Wonderful, wonderful !” The girl retired highly elated, and Artemus Ward turned his attention to the monkey cage. That, said he, taking my arm and pointing to a common monkey, ‘is a species of jackal. It is a very rare specimen, and was specially imported at great expense.’ This was said loud enough for the showman to hear, and that worthy waiked over and learnecly corrected Arte- mua by saying that the little monkey was a species of orang outang from the island of Sumatra, the only one on exhibition, etc. Artemus thanked him kindly, and yet doubtingly, for the correction, and as we passed out he extolled the merits of the show in the highest terms. And that was all there was of the opera house perform- ance.

The following estimate of the standing of Independent Oddfellowship for 1884 should satisfy the opponents of benevolent socie- ties that the latter are certainly doing « large amount of good:—-Membership, 500,- 000; revenue, $5,500,000, of which $2,000, - 000 will be paid for relief. In the past 65 years 1,000,000 Oddfellows have been relieved at an expenditure of $44,000,- 000 and 140,000 fatherless families have felt the practical results of the crganiza- tion. Of the members who have contribut- ed to pay this large sum and who have not required relief not one is the poorer, bat rather the richer in the knowledge that he has contributed to relieve distress and want which othe: wise would have existed. True it is that one of the first teachings is that men are warned from joini the order for pecuniary or selfi motives, and that the work done is not of charity. Yet the fact remains that there is suffering, and the amount paid unnually preves that but for its payment a very large proportion of the number relieved might have had to draw on the public for aid, as well as have to suffer privations that their wisdom in associating withthe order prevented,
