ten for the occasion by lady Of this city, and the
music composed by Prof. La Hsche. The orchestra
and choristers gave 1t with fine effect and solo
part in each stanzs was given by lady with great
power and sweetness. At the close, it was most
heartily applauded.
The R. W. Grand Chsplain, Rev. A. D. Mccoy, Of.
fered up prayer.
The choir sung an "Ode to Charity ;" words by
George W. Christy, and music by Prof. La Hache.
The Grafton Of the day was next delivered, by the
Deputy District Grand Master Hon. A. 8. Heron, Of
Baton Rouge. It consisted of brief history of Odd
Fellowship, from its rise in this country and its lin
cage through other countries and centuries back 10
the Romans in the time Of Nero an allusion to the
national and widespread celebration of this day, Of
which the celebration here was but part and an
eloquent exposition OF the principles, aims and good
works of Odd Fellowship. He was much applauded
upon concluding.
The choir then sang The Orphans Appeal and
Relief" from the Dedication Cantata !" words by
Miss Emma Shropshire, and music by Prof. La Hache.
1t was sung in different voices, and with final cho
rus, in very sweet and spirited manner.
An original poem, written for the occasion by Mark
F. Bigney, editor Of the Weekly Mirror was read by
that gentleman with marked effect.
The choir next sung another original ode written
for this occasion by lady, and entitled "The Odd
Fellows Mission" The excellence of this music was
in keeping with that which preceded it.
A benediction by the Grand Chaplain closed the
exercises, and the hall became empty whilst the band
played some final airs The uptown and down.to n
Lodges formed in procession, and marched to their
different places Of meeting the Lodges which be-
longed at the Hall retired to their rooms and doffed
their regala, and were soon, with the ladies' and
other spectators making for their homes and dinners
in all quarters Of the city.
THE FINALE-THE BALL.
As soon as the crowd left in the afternoon, the
ballroom was cleared Of everything but its decora
tons in order to prepare for those devotions which
all festivities at their close offer to the muchrevered
goddess of the Dance the joyous and winsome Terps
chore. At night the hall was densely crowded, and
the spectacle splendid in the extreme. The rich
fancy costumes and the fashionable dress of the
ladies and other guests, mingling with the Odd Eel
lows in their many coored regalias glistening with
silver and golden embroideries offered as gorgeous
picture of life and enjoyment ever whrled to the
strains of music, or flashed in the light of chande
liers. As we write, the music streams enticingly
down Camp street-units us for further writing
and we must close.
To go little further, we would like to publish tn
different original poems offered during the exercise
at the hall. The crowded state Of our columns for
bids it 4; but we must find room for the poem which
Mr.. Bigney composed and himself recited. It wa
unquestionably the gem of the occasion

THE GOLDEN CHAIN.


There is chain whose golden links
Heav'n's choicest gifts embrace;
Life crowning heritage on earth,
Its glory and its grace
Pure as the rainbow's blended dyes,
Free as the stars from stain,
Are Friendship, Love and Truth-the links
Which form that golden chain.
FRIENDSHIP in mystic brotherhood
1t binds man to his kind,
Supporting still the poor and frail
And guiding still the blind. -
So brave to meet fraternal wants,
So gentle in distress,
1t shares, it watches and it cheers
And prays that Heav'n may bless.
LOVE blissfuI dream of Eden sweets
Which angels fain would breathe;
1t comes like Spring, the tree of life
With blossoms to enwreathe;
1t presses from joys blushing grapes
Their rich ambrosial wine,
And thrills the throbbing human heart
With ecstacies divine.
TRUTH! mirror Of the god-like mind
Like the nnruffled lake,
Rejecting all the glowing heavens,
Whose glories DER it break.
In its clear depths no hidden snare
Can ever lie concealed,
For all things there are pure and bright
As Jove's immortal shield.
Thus richly linked the golden chain
A sacred charm extends,
Inviting still the good and true
To join for noble ends
Making the ,Dords of brotherhood
Assume magic power,
And every sign benison,
And each Degree..a dover.
So stands the glorious Order, with
Its banner fairs unfurled,
Ploclaiming Friendship, Love and Truth,
Redeemers of the world
Keeping the sacred jenels bright
Around which brothers meet,
And symbolizing holy ties
With ,cater, Jio,cers and tchsat.

In comparing this statement with our last-two
weeks since-we find that whilst the receipts at the
ports have been $4,000 bales the stocks at interior
towns have been only reduced 1886 bales, which
disposes of the wholesale allegations of General
Wright, the great New York bull at this time, who
stated in his circulars of the 18th and 10th nst writ
ten for the Liverpool trade that the receipts at the
Atlantic ports were at the expense of the inland
towns rather clearing out of stocks in the interior
markets.
The talk is, what quantity is required from all
sources to make up the estimate of 3,s00OOO bales
Some talk that there are not 163 900 bales in the in
terror that is on plantations and towns not named
others are certain of the fguers being realized The
