ORIGIN OF oDD-FELLows.

1t has been supposed by many that the
origin of the society of Odd Fellows--or
rather the organization as an association
was of comparatively 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 Ne
no, and was established in the year So.
At that time they were called aFellow
Citizens. 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 pre-.
sented them with dispensation, engraved
on plate of gold, bearing different en-
blems of mortality. In the fifth century
the Order was established in the Spanish
dominion, in Portugal, in tn, sixth centu-
ry. 1t did not reach France and England
until the lIth century. 1t was then es-
tablished in the latter century by John
De Neville who, assisted by five knights
from France, formed Grand Lodges in ev-
cry quarter of the globe, and by its use
fulness and benevolent character, COM
mands the respect and countenance of all
who are acquainted with ito nature and
purposes. Those upon whose information
reliance may be traced, give credit to
Baltimore for first introducing Odd Eel
lowship into the United States, and to
Grand Sire Thomas Wildey, still living
among us, belongs the honor.

of shcrrard's. They gather about it, flap their
wings, cackle and raise a terrible hulLabaloo
generally. When we. see this we are inclined
to draw in our horns and be a little charitable

lieye, however, as the French diplomat has said,
that "blunder is worse than a crime" and
therefore we incline TO modify this letter of
Mr.. Clemens down into simple blunder. a
man pays good deal sometimes for wishing to
be thought the confidential adviser of big

Clemens error, aud previously has he and is
he answered it. We are impressed anew with

are carried off by the yellow fever now at the

MORE UNwRITTEN HlsToNY.-In commenting
upon this clip from Harkins speech, the Ohio
State Journal goes on to remark that after COL
Forney had finished his speech, some extracts
from which we gave day before yesterday, Mr..
Haskin related an interview he had with Mr..
Buchanan prior to tho passage of the English
swindle. He said:
Col. Forney had said in his speech, that the
executive was notin the habit of having the
truth told him. There was great deal of truth
in what Col Forney had said. But on the Sat
urday before the President sent in his Kansas
message to Congress, he had called upon him,
his little daughter was with him. He said to
the President, "Sir, was elected as u friend
to your Administration, and am yourpersonal
! friend. Idesire to be a friend to your Admin
istration when it is right, but upon the subject
OF the admission of Kansas nnder the Lecomp-
ton Constitution, permit me to tell yon sir how

He had replied to this:-'.Sir when I was nomi-
mated, in the convention which nominated me

sion of Kansas under any Constitution, unless
it be sustained by majority of the people, and
had been fairly submitted to them for their APP

physician has given his opinion, that by reason

the weight of his opinion. In recent letter
to the Medical Times, he relates the following:

suffering from rheumatic pains in her knees; she
has never been troubled before, aud she be-
lieves there is no tendency to rheumatism in
her family. She has noticed the advent of pain
