ly modern date. They will be somewhat
surprised, however, says the Cincinnati
Times, to learn that its origin dates as far
back As the time Of Nero, and was establish
ed by the Roman soldiers in the year IS.
At that tine they were called "FellowCiti-
zens." The present name was given them
by Titus Caesar, twenty -four years afterwards;
and they were so called from the singular
character of their meeting, and from their
knowing each other by night or day by
means Of mystical signs and language. At
the same time he presented them with dis
pensa,ion, engraved on plate Of gold, bear
ing different emblems Of mortality. In the
fifth century the Order was established in
the Spanish dominion, and IN Portugal in
the sixth century. 1t did not reach France
and En- gland until the eleventh century. 1t
was then established in the latter county by
John De Neville, who, assisted by FIVE knights
from France, formed a Grand Lodge in Lon
don. This ancient fraternity has now its
lo1.~es in every quarter of the globe, and, by
it's usefulness end benevolent character, COM
mands the respect and countenance OF all
who are acquainted with its nature and pur-
poses. Those upon whose information rcl'-
ance may be placed, give credit to b..'t'more
for first introducing Odd Fellowship into
the United States, and to Grandsire Thomas
Wildey, still living among US, belongs the
honor.
