Origin of Odd Fellows.

1t has been supposed by many that the orr
gin of the society of Odd Fellows--or rather
the organization of that association-was OF
comparatively modern date. They will be some
what surprised, hover. to learn that its origin
dates as far back as Nero, and was established
by the Roman soldiers in the year 55 At that
time they were called Fellow Citizens" The
present name was given them by Titus Cesar,
twenty-four years afterwards; and they were
so called from the singular character Of their
meetings, and from their knowing each other
by means of mystical signs and language At
the same time he presented them with dis
pensarion. engraved on plate of gold. bearing
different emblems Of mortality La the fifth
century, the order was established in the Span
i,h dominions, and in Pori ugai in the sixth cen.
tury. Ii did not reach France and England
until the eleventh century. Ii was then eStab
lished in the latter country by John De Mile,
who. assisted by FIVE knights from France. form
ed Grand Lodge in London This ancient
fraternity has now its Lpdges in every quarter
of the globe, and, by It's usefulness ard benev-
olent character, command, the respect and

nature and purpose.

honor, and have as much cool bravery, as white
men, SSome Indians Were al Hotter saw mill,
near Helena when one of them displayed his
revolver and boasted so highly of his extranr-

party exclaimed, Ugh you cant shoot, and
denounced him as braggart, at the same tine
saying that he could put him to shame at his
own game Whereupon native No. ! pro-
posed test of skill, giving his opponent the
choice of a rifle his favorite weapon. This
was at once acceded to, and immediate prep.
ara,ions were made for duel in tn If own pc

riors had collected, and the party repaired to
spot near by, where they marked off about for

dusky dueists, who, meanwhile, stood by

When all was ready the two warriors took their

The California Alr-ship Avitor.

A trial of Mr.. Marriott's serial steamship.
| Ayitor took place in San Francisco recently. -
The local papers give long accounts of the ve>-
sci and the trial, from which We take the follow
ing particulars
THE Avltor may be briefly described as a bal
loon of the form of a very short and thick cigar,
its extreme length being ninety-ive feet, its
height ten feet, and Its width at the centre a.
bout seven feet A delicate frame work ofIight
and strong wood passes longtudially around it,
and serves to hold the guides for regulating its
movement in their places. At the after end of
the frame the rudder is placed-an ingenious
contrivauce 70 directing its course either vertl-
cally Or horizontally.
The propelliug power is furnished by very
small engine and boiler of the very lightesr
weight. and certainly oi no more effective force
than could be produced by turning crank by
a aIan of Ordinary strength. The engine and
boiler-the latter filled up with alcohol-are IN
dangerous proximity to the balloon itself, and
are placed in niche in its bottom. From the
engine, by light shafts and gearing, the power
is transmitted to a couple of propeers working
IN the frame first mentioned !; and number of
lines, bands, ribbons and network, all OF the
Highest nlaferal serve to bind the frame to the
balloon, and preserve its contour
ABOUT one hundred guests witnessed the
public trial OF this carriage on the 18th. On
arriving at the scene the Avitor Works were
found with the door open and the carriage just
coming out into the open air. The wind was
blowing quite hard and coming in gusts; 1t
was found that it would be impossible to have
a satisfactory trial out of doors. The holding
on to the guys and framework in this wind
caused he carriage to be severely strained. and
finally it was taken back into the works. Steam
was raised, aud the carriage, obeying its pro-
pelers, raised itself several feet from the floor
and started forward at rapid pace. Persons
having the guys in hand stopped it at the end
of the hall, and. turning it around, it sailed
back The carriage afterward mounted nearly
to the roof with a frmness aud steadiness equal
to the movements of an ocean steamer on
smooth water" ~

A Talk with a Lion Tanner.

A lion tanner named LeDgel, was severely
bitten in the leg by lioness in Charleston.
South Carolina, in April, and is still di~abled
in consequence of the wound. One of the
Charle,ton papers describes a visit to him Us
follows:
Ia answer to question as to his manner of
tanning lions he replied at length, saying that
''it was gift of nature with him. Il have
no fear of them People tell me every time |

me. and should make me fear to 60 in the cage
again. But it does not. When am away

Three years ago [ tanned five in New York
which while in Europe, had killed one ufan
and badly maugled another. who had attempted
to tame them. La three weeks after they We're
put in my charge they were as tame as |
wished. though before they were considered
untamable | very seldom use force In tanning
them, but sometimes it becomes necessary
kindness is my usual plan; L always care
tul TO keep my eye upon them.
Every one who has seen the lion tanner eav-
ing the cage after his feat of lying down among
the lions putting his feet on their heads, feed
ing them, and firing off pistols, has doubtless
noticed how careful he was-stepping out back
wards very deliberately, and watching closely
the beasts which always advanced upon him =
In speaking of this, he said "If did not
keep nv eye upon them they would jump at

age: there i, more danger to me at this time

To be your loving bride.
My brothers they were soldiers
The youngest of the three
Was slain while fighting by the side
Of gallant Fitzhugh Lee.
They left his BODY on the field,
Your side the day had Won;
A soldier spurned him with his foot
You might have been the one.
Ny lover was soldier,
He belonged to Gordon's band,
A sabre pierced his gallant heart
Yours might have been the hand.
He reeled and fell but was not dead;
A horseman spurred his steed
And trampled on the dying brain
You may have done the deed.
I hold no hatred in my heart,
No cold unrighteous pride,
& For many gallant soldier fought
Upon the other side.
3 But still I cannot kiss the hand
That smote my country's son,
Nor love the foe that trampled down
! The colors that she bore.
Between my heart and yours there rolls
a deep and crimson tide
My brother and my lovers blood
Forbids me be your bride.
The girls who loved the boys in gray
The girls to country true,
May never in wedlock give the hand
To those who wore the blue.
