For many years past the grand lodge of England has refused to sanction the appear- ance of Masons iu Masonic clothing at funerals and upon other public occasions, while it has even prohibited those burlesque ceremonials dosiguated lodges of sorrow, which of late have in this country grown into popular exhibitions, says the New York Mercury. A movement is on foot among the Masons of this state to revive an obsolete prohibition against all public demonstrations of Masons in a Masonic character, should they be arrayed in Masonic clothing, and most especially funeral parades, which constitute anout theonly opportunities afforded the Blue Musonry to air themselves in distinguishing raiment before the eyes of the admir 50 10 reasont Why the obsolete restriction ~should not bo re-ex- humed, but on the coutrary a hundred objections towi a custom whosesignificance and dignity melted away with the flight oftime.
