Agreeable to circular cmanating from

Lodges OF the Ordcr, under its jurisdiction,
TO observe the 10Th day of April, the Au-
niversary day OF Odd Fellowship. as a day

On the Goth day Of April 1919, ffty-
two years ago. Odd Fellowship obtained n
permanent establishment on the Western
Continent, and Washington Lodge No. /,
ot Baltimore city, in the State of Nlaryla,d
was instituted. Lodges of Odd Fellows
had for several years previous been in cx-
lstence IN this country, but they were lack
ing in the important cl mcnt of stability.
They were regularly instituted Lodges and
were founded by Immigrants from the
Mother Country, fourishing for several
years. and then gave up the ghost The
credit OF firmly establishing Odd Fellow

AS the 10Th day of April has been recog

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 27, 1871.
DEAR SPARTAN The Ku Klux Bill
having passed, the Radicals arc busy man.
ufacturing outrages SO that when Grant
comes back from the West, he will have
an excuse to put it in operation at once.
One of their lodges is to TEL! the same tale
over again ina different manner, and thus
create the impression thai" it is not the
"some old tale" The shooting of DR.. Win.
smith comes oft, this morning, in a new
dress, but is easily rccos osnized by any one
accustomed to their dark-way nnd vain
tricks.
This time DR.. Winsmith is described a>
"conservntive republican" and it is an
nounccd that lie has ':since died" In the
same number of the paper is n notice of
the Taxpayers Convention, which says the
New York and Boston capitalists have
formed company with two million dol
lars capital to purchase lands thrown on
the market by refusal of our people to pay
the taxes; but no mention is made that
the 'conservative republican" was in favor
ofthe said convention, although the cards
OF those discoptented republicans publish
ed in The Same number of the Spartan,
with DR.. Winsmith's card are noticed and
commented upon.
The paper here which is more active in
getting up these Ku Klux stories seems to
have regular correspondent in our neigh.
borhood. He writes them that those cards
are published because the signcrs are worn.
cd by the K. X, and that one of the wri-
ters told him since publishing his card,
that he was 'jus: as good republican as
he ever was" which is not hard to believe
Us the only reason they turned radical was
to share in the "stcalage.' Grant is bound
20 be President next time if "brute force
can make him, and he will control the
Southern States with his bayoncts, and
hopes. to control the Northern by bribcs
and cheating nt the elections. Whenever
any one is killed in the South after this,
so melody will be arrested aud hanged for
it. No man of common sense imagncs for
moment that any of the Ku K'ux will
suffer, for to catch them is impossible, but
some from the naighborhood will be Tie
victim. After they are arrested and car
ried to Charleston, (tho trials must all be
in the United States Court,) n sufficient
number of negroes and mean white men
will be escorted down to convict Of course
the trials will bo only farcos. The jares
will be exclusively negroes, as they must
take the test oath. Grant has made great
hubbub about the "insurrccticn" now in
South Carolina, and to shoH that it is not
oil humbug, he must hang lew men
whether guilty or not 1T may sturtle some
of our readers to think that Grant would
do such a thing, but his past history shows
ne cares nothing for human lic~ The Ku
Klux may kill the witnesses when they
come back, but that won't bring the dead
to life again. Had not tho mysterious
brotherhood better reflect q moment before
Furnishing the next evil-doer'? The life of
some our best citizens may be sacrificed

while it is clearly the duty Gas we know it to be
the pIeasure) of our busy housewives to make
them as light as possible, there is no saying
into what extravaganza men would not plunge,
did they not have gentle prudent women to check
them. The selfreliant man of business, conf
dent of his ability to pay, is very apt to run
Sc little bills that are matter of no great mo-
ment to him probably, but which if not paid
promptly, may seriously embarrasses the dealer,
who, while anxious to secure as much custom as
possible, still looks forward to speedy settlements
of his accounts for the means to carry on his bust
ness. In such cases, the calm mind of the loving
wife and mother, is the one to suggest to the
care o'er-whelm'd husband the settling Of the
same. Nothing creates so much confusion, and
dissatisfaction, as the accumulation of accounts
on the merchants books, against those who, with
the best possible intentions (and abundant means)
permit themselves to owe what they ought to
nav. In Honolulu this habit seems to have be-
come chronic, and we throw out these few hints,
with the hope that all will profit by them.{

observation, that, 8 man without woman, would

Be anything very long without her. Still, it is
our firm conviction that If there was but one to
be seen occasionally, men would rather try
to get along without any than to see the few
badly dressed. All men like to have their female

Let not Angelina believe that Edward does not
care whether she is neatly dressed or not, or that
he will fly to her side, to listen enraptured to her
sweet song, unmindful of the fact that her bright
feathers have not been smoothed since leaving
the coy nest at early morn. Nor must she think
because he shakes himself into his business suit,
and tearing away from her embrace, rushes down
town without bestowing a thought on the condi-
ton of his boots, that he will be unmindful of
her down trodden slipper that DISCUSSES her pretty
foot. And when the quarterly bills come in, she
may rest assured that, if he can remember bow
neat the morning dress always looked, (that he
now pays for) how gracefully the drapery (that
he notes on the bill. at so cents per yard) clothed
her pretty form-how perfectly the (seven dollar)
boots set off the slender foot, in fact how the
sum-total of the bill, causes him to wonder how
his wife can make so little go so far, her pride
will not be offended, or her sensibilities alarmed
by the wondering inquiry from him of-what

glarterly bills suggests to rs the thought. that
