The Pope Expelled from the Free Masons.

THE Pope was formally expelled from the order of Free Masons by the Grand Lodge which met in Italy on March 27. He was connected with a Lodge at Palermo in his early youth, and charges were first preferred against him in 1865, but he refused to meet them. Subsequently, when he had cursed the order, and excommunicated all members of it, the charges were renewed, a regular trial was held, and a decree of expulsion was entered and pub lished, signed by King Victor Emanuel, Grand Master of the Orient of Italy.—Detroit Tribune.
