of the order, by Mesa lodge No. So last
night at the Armory.
For several weeks past the committee
having in charge the arrangements have
been busy preparing for the event and
their work was manifest last night in
every arrangement for the comfort and
pleasure of the guests of the lodge.
Invitations chaste aud handsome in
form, were sent out nearly two weeks
ago bidding those receiving them, to at
tend the anniversary occasion. That
there were few that did not respond, was
a matter easi y determined by the great
crowd present musical and literary
program had been arranged for the &C
casion. There were addresses OF well
come, original poems essays on the pro-
srees aud benefits OF the order, songs by
the members and by eevera Of the guests
and recitations.
F. H. Pierce, chairman OF the Joint
committees, from the lodge and the
lodge Of the Rebekah degree, very plea

manifold blessing which had been given
the race through Odd Fellowship, were
mastery comparisons and brought forth
much applause. In fact, although
having heard Rev. Ostenson frequently
in years agone, never have we heard him
in finer fettle than upon last night. He
with fine effect brought into his address
the mottos OF the order and hit home
with telling effect on the brotherhood OF
men. The essay or address was given
the closest attention and we can say, was
more than well appreciated by his au-
ditors.
The address, by Rev Ostenson closed

Boston and the Negro Widow.

Daily States.
The readers Of the States will re-
member the tempest in teapot
that was raised In Boston by the
advent into that city under the
auspices of a Miss Jewett, Of the
widow and children Of the negro
postmaster Baker who was MUIR
dereo at Lake City, S. e. The
woman had removed to Charleston,
where she was satisfied to live, but
in an evil hour for her the Boston
spinster conceived the idea of get
ting up little cheap notoriety and
making some profit withal by taking
the family to the Hub for exhibit
ton purposes. The excitement
was short-lived, however, and we
now find an article in the Baltimore
Sun to the effect that VIM. Lloyd
Garrison, Of Boston, has written
letter to the New York Sun, APP
pealing to the people of that city
for aid for the widow. The Sun

people of Boston found other holy
work to do. the poor colored widow and her
little children were forgotten and apparently

great numbers to gaze upon the unfortunate
and to make their arrival within her cultured
precincts the occasion of a violent TRADE
against the South and the Southern people.
But when it comes to putting up few dol
lars for their benefit appeal must be
made to New York. The poor and plum
dered South and its maligned white people
have to care for vast number of colored
families. They have voluntarily assumed
the burden of educating the race, and
Boston cannot for a single family. 1t
is time now for that city to give a rest
and cease proclaiming itself the friend of
