ANTIQUITY OF THE ]. o. o. F. We find the fol-
lowing in an old English paper from speech delv-
cred by Mr.: Cooper, at a meeting of the Order, in
Greenock, Scotland. Mr.. Cooper said
The origin of the order of Odd Fellows is of
very great antiquity. 1t established by the Ro-
man soldiers, In the camp during the reign of Nero
In the year 55 At that time they were called Eel
low Citizens" The present name was given them
by Titus Caesar, in the year 70, from the singularity
OF their meeting, and from their knowing each other
by night or by day, and by their fidelity to him and
their country. He not only gave them the name of
Odd Fellows, but at the same time, as pledge of
friendship, presented them with dispensation en-
craven on plate of gold, bearing the different en-
blems, such as the Sun, Moon and Stars, the Lamb,
the Lion, and the Dove, and other embems of NOR
ality: The first account of the Order being spread
in other countries is in the fifth century: when #
established in the Spanish dominions. and in the
9th century, by King Henry in Portugal and in the
twelfth century, it was established in France. and
afterward by John De Neville in England. attended
by hve Knights from France, who formed Loya]
Grand Lodge of Honor in London, which order re-
manned until the eighteenth century, Gin the reign Of
george the Ill, when part of them began to form
themselves into union, and a portion of them re.
main up to this day-the Lodges which are now yery
numerous throughout the world, and call themselves
the Loyal Ancient Odd Fellows, being a portion d
the original body; the Manchester Unity is of more
recent date although there is no doubt of its eanat
