Mr.. Farnsworth's Address
The Presbyterian Church was
we'll filled on last Wednesday night,
to listen to the address Of Mr.. E.
D. Farnsworth, on0dd- Fellowship.
The Brotherhood were out in suf.
ficient numbers to make an impos.
ling appearance. Afterassembling
in the church, the programme was
first announced by the N, G, of
Calhoun Lodge. The opening
ode of the Order was then sung
with stirring effect. Mr.. Werner
presided at the organ, and assis.
ted by good choir, and the breth-
rem, the music was excellently Civ
Ell, ana seemed to fill the house,
A prayer was then pronounced by
MIR. Cunningham, followed by anoth-
Their piece of music, after which
Mr.. Farnsworth was introduced
to the audience by Grand Patri-
arch Geo. B. Boyles, after which
the address begun. The speaker
said the first prosperous Lodge in
! the United States OF the Indepen-
dent Order of Odd Fellows, was
instituted at Baltimore about So
years ago, by five men who had
been made Odd Fellows III the
old country; and such was its
rapid progress, that now the Order
numbered nearly a half million
of men on this continent. With
in the past few years it has been
introduced into the German En-
pire, and it met there with an en-
thusiastic reception. Lodges
were springing up rapidly in va
rious portions Of continental En-
rope. Ignoring politics and secta-
rianism, its members were from all
conditions of society. In deeds
of benevolence, he said, Odd-Fcl-
lowship was second to no organiza-
ton known to men. In proof of
which he referred to the fact that
during the year ending Septem-
Der /, 1871, there were expended
by the Order in the United States,
tor the relief of distress, $4,000
for burying the dead, 100000,
etc. He concluded by assuring
the ladies that they, especially,
were benefciaries of the Order,
and should be its earnest, ardent
defenders.
The address was a plain, SEN
sible talk, without any attempt at
oratory, but made up oftrutLs and
arguments that appealed directly
to the common sense of the lis.
tener.
After the address, the closing
ode of the Order was sung, after
which the audience dispersed, the
fraternity returning to their lodge
room.
On Thursday evening, at II
o'clock, Mr.. Farnsworth delivered
an address or the same subject
at Mulberry, and Friday night at
Lynchburg.

The History of A National Rem.

y
edy.-Here is the history of the most cele-
brated tonic Of the age in a nutshell. In 1860
was announced that certain combination of
vegetable ingredients, with pure diffusive
stimulant was working wonders in the
cure of chronic dyspepsia, nervous debility,
liver complaint, periodical fever, rheuma-
tism and constitutional weakness. The I'M
pretending name given to the specific was
PLANTATION BITTERs. The statement at
tracted the attention of invalids every
where. The new remedy received fail
trial, and tho results more than confirmed
all that had been said in its praise Thence
forward it was grand success. The bust
ness columns of the press spread the glo-
riOus news far and wide, and the mar
tyrs to indigestion, biliousness, physical
prostration and premature decay, as if by
common consent, sought relief from the
new vegetable restorative. They found
irhat they SOHght. From that time to
the present the increase in the demand for
Plantation Bitters has been one of the
most striking events in this age.

Two Kinds Of Treat.

A story of James Fl. Beard, the ar
fist, illustrating his quickness of re-
partee, is located at the old Broadway
House, in Cincinnati, where the better
class of gentlemen We're wont to congre-
gate. 1t seems that on one occasion
the Broadway was visited by party OF
young bucks from Louisville, who had
Inherited the traditional dislike of Gin
clnnatl and her customs. As a large
party of Cincinnati gentlemen were
seated in the saloon engaged in CONVEX,
sation, one Of the Louisville visitors
attracted everybody's attention by vo-
CELEBRATING to his friends, Come, gen
tlemen, let US have Cincinnati
treat " Thereupon each member
started up to the bar, and calling for a
drink, paid each his own score, and
then laughed merrily at the supposed
insult they had conveyed. Beard saw
their intent, and turning to his com
panions, said, "Come, boys, let's have
a Louisville treat" They obeyed, and
emptied their glasses, when Beard
winked ''loudly'' at the bar-keeper,
and said, ''charge it" The laugh
turned against the Louisville party.
