TJieFnlvcrsary of Odd Fellows.
Perhaps it is not generally known,
even among the craft, that the 23th of
this present month, is the semi-centennial
anniversary of the introduct
ion of the order in the United States.
The first and only successful Attempt
to introduce the principles of Friend
ship, Love and Truth, in America,
was made in Baltimore, on the 25th
day of April, 1319. Thomas Wildey,
a blacksmith by trade, an English
man, by birth, and a citizen of Balti
timore, Md., by adoption, published a
card, calling for a meeting of Odd Fel
lows at the Seven Stars Tavern in
Second street in that city. It was
answered by four members of the or
der; and Washington Lodge No. 1,
was instituted. Through the instru
mentality of Past Grand John Crow
der, of Preston, England, a charter
wr received on October 23d, 1819.
From this little band of five mem
bers in Baltimore, one half a century
Brc. has grown the mighty army
which has overspread the land, and
(sheltered under its protecting arm
thousands, who but for it, would have
been last in the miseries of Ignorance
and destitution.
Let the Odd Fellpws, all over the
land, notice the day as is becoming.

A writer in Putnam? Monthly, who
was at Harper's Ferry with the na
tional troops in 1861, gives the follow
ing report of o conversation with a
colored man named Antony, who had
come into the Union lines :
"Antony, did you ever see John
Brown ?"
"Do you mean Mr. Brown dey
hanged at Charlston?" . ..
"Yes." '
"Know him I "Yes, sar" he dropped
his brush and straightened up "yes,
sar ; I was one ob his lootenanta."
"His What?"
"His Iootenants."
"What do you mean? Hehadnone."
"Ye3, sah; de white folks said de
cullud people didn't care for him, an'
want ter help him. But de cullud
folks roun' yer was all down on his
paper ; dey was 'rolled, an' we met,
6ar, in de woods, Sundays an' nights,
an' got ready ter fight for him when
he called us ; an' I was choosen loo
tenant ob de cullud people in Shep
herdstown." -
"But how did it happen that the
white people never knew it?"
"Why, cos no cullud man would
tell, an' Mr. Brown, he and Lis men
wouldn't tell, an' dey used de roll ob
names fur de wads to de guns, or
some sich t'ings, so I've heered. Any
ways, no one eber knowed wot be
come ob it."
If Mr. Brown had waited another
day, "do you think many negroes
would have joined him ?"
"Many I Why, Lieutenant, more'n
dere is in dis army would hab been
wid him in two days, an' dey'd hab
fought for him till all was killed ef
dey could hab believed in de white
men bein' true." - - - ' l
"How many do you think were on
the rolls?"
"Can't tell yer, sar, jes' how many,
but a dreffle sight more'n a thousan."
"But if that was true, why didn't
you come to the Ferry and help him?"
"Cos we was afraid. De cullud peo
ple's been cheated so offen by de
white folks, dat when dey struck de
blow too soon at de Ferry we was
'fraid we was goin to be cheated." -
I don't understand about striking
too soon.". ' - 7 : " . r
"Why, ye see, sar, Mr. Brown tole
us dat we should get lcab t' come
home Saturday fur Sunday; an'' a
right smart lot o' folks came home,
more'n ever in de summer even
more'n Christmas ; fur ye see de ser
vants are hired out roun' de country.
We was all ter be dar Sunday: an'
den -when dey 'spected we'd be ail
donegoneback toourplaces, Monday,
we'd wait in the mountains back ob
de Ferry, till Mr. Brown gabe de word,
an' den all hurry dar ter jine him.
We folks didn't Know what ter do
when Monday came, 'cos we hurd de
news dat Mr. Brown an' his men had
taken de Ferry an' de arsnal, an' was
killiu' de white an' cullud folks.
Course we couldn't knoww the. truf.
and wegot skeert ter go down dar,
les' it was only a plan ter git us ter go
down dar, les' it was only a plan ter
git us ter show ourselves in ii body,
an' den dar'd be a 'scuse for killin or
sellin' us ; an' we'd beed cheated so
many times afore, we tort we'd better
do nuffin, till we see wot Mr. Brown
did. When de sojers cum and took
him, we kep' quiet."
"Did you ever see Mr. Brown after
that?" !
"No, sar ; we didn't dar to say nuff
in 'bout him ter de white folks. We
talked 'bout him' ter ourselves, but
nebber let anybody know it. One
night some ob de bhepherdstown
boys went 'tween night an' mornin'
ther de helds back ob Charlestown,
whar we could see de jail whar we was.
an' we sat dar t'inkin' an talkin' till
de night was done gone, an' we could
hardly git back terde plantation 'fore
mornin' ; but I tell you, Lieutenant,
dar warn't many such men as Mr.
Jirown ; he was ne saviour an' re
deemer ob de cullud people, an' mos'
ob dem beliebed he was Jesus Christ
come back ter sabe us."

Johnson :
The late President always boasted of
bis integrity and his honesty, and in
his farewell address prompously pro
claimed that no one could charge him
with corruption, or with having re
ceived a cent which did not rightfully
belong to him. It has been discover
ed since he left the White House, that
he carried away with him ail the
books of record belonging to the Gov
ernment, amounting in value to up
wards of three thousand dollars. These
books were mostly bound, costing
from thirty to ninety dollars each,
and were paid for with the public
money, and he had no more right to
take them than he would have to car
ry off the furniture paintings and
stationery from the White "House.
These books comprise all the records
of the civil, military and dipiomatic
business which transpired during his
term and of Mr. Lincoln..
' Before Lincoln came into office, no
no such records were kept at the
White House by former Presidents.
Lincoln commenced the practice, and
at his death all the records remained
at the White House, and came into
possession of his successor. The clerks
who kept inese books were atiiched to
the Treasury department, detailed for
duty at the White House. It is prob
able that Congress will order an inves
tigation, and if it can be done, compel
the retiring President to disgorge. A
person connected with the White
House, knowing that the books werej
oemg Doxeu up to ue removed, en
deavored to have them stopped, and
applied to a magistrate for a warrant,
but as he had no title in the property,
and it was scarcely believed that
Johnson Intended to carry off - the
public property, nothing was done to
prevent it.
Tlie Grain Movement.
The citizens of St. Louis appear in
earnest in their efforts to secure the
grain trade of the Northwest. Another
large and enthusiastic meeting of
merchants, real estate owners, bankers
and business men generally, was held
last Thursday evening at the Southern
Hotel to further discuss the practica
bility of establishing and subscribing
to the stock of the St. Louis Grain
Association. Governor E. O.. Stew
ard in a speech before the meeting,
said that in the matter of handling
grain, St. Louis had fifteen cents per
bushel the advantage over any other
city in the West, and that the present
movements was designed to restore
the lost confidence in the minds of
the shippers of the Northwest, and
to show them that upon its success
depended their future prosperity. . x

, Xnturnl Magic
Great performers of the art of leger
demain sometimes give exhibitions
gratis, and when not expected. Houd
in, well known for his dexterity,
while in Agusta, Georgia, once resol
ved to try his art on the old colored
woman, whom ha met in the street,
with her basket of eggs. Houdin sud
denly paused and inquired :
"How do you sell eggs, auntie?"
"Dem eggs" was the response, "dey
am a picapune apice fresh, too, de
last one ob dem ; biled 'em myself and
knows dey's fust rate,"
"Well, I'll try 'em," said the ma
gician, as he laid down a bit of frac
tional currency.. "Have you pepper
and salt?"
"Yds sar, dar dey is," said the sable
sales-voman, watching her customer
with intense interest.
Leisurely drawing out a neat little
penknife, Mr. Houdin proceeded very
quietly to cut the egg exactly in half;
when suddenly a bright, new twenty
five cent piece was discovered laying
embedded in the yolk, apparently as
bright as when first came from the
mint. Very coolly the great magician
transferred the coin to his vest-pocket,
and taking up another egg, Inquired :
"How much do you ask for this
egg?"
"De Lord bress my soul ! Dat egg?
De facam, boss, dat egg is worth a
a dime shuah!"
"AH 'right.'T was the response,
there's your dime ; now give me the
egg?"
Separating it with an exact precis
Ion that the colored woman watched
most eagerly, a quarter eagle was care
fully picked out of the centre of the
egg and placed in the vest pocket of
the operator, as before.
The old woman was thunderstruck,
as well she might have been, and her
customer, had to ask her the price of
the third egg two or three times before
he could obtain a reply.
"Dar's no use talkin', mars'r'" said
the bewildered old darkey, "I
could' t let you hab dat dar egg,- no
how, for less dan a quarter I declare
to de Lord I can't."
"Very good," said Houdin, whose
imperturbable features were as solemn
as an undertaker, "there is your quar
ter, avl bere-i your egg. All right.
As he opened the last egg, a brace of
five dollar gold pieces were discovered
snugly deposited in the very heart of
the yolk, and jingling them merrily
together in his palm, the savant coolly
remarked:
"Very good eggs, indeed ; I rather
like them, and while I am.about it, I
believe I will buy a dozen. What is
the price?"
"Iso price!" screamed the amazed
daughter of Ham. 11 You couldn't buy
dem eggs, mars'r, for all the mon
ey you's got. No! dat you couldn't.
Ise gwine to take dem eggs all home
I is ! and dat money in dem eggs all
belongs to me. It does dat. Couldn't
sell no more of dem eggs no how."
"Amidst the roar of the spectators,
the benighted African started for her
domicile to "smash dem eggs," but
with what success we are unable to
relate. -
In January, 1853, the Treasnrer of
Coshocton county, Ohio, was robbed
of $12,000. A large sum, perhaps
$20,000, was spent by the county au
thorities in an unvailihg effort to fer
rit out the robbers. Finally a quarrel
between the latter resulted in one of
them Informing upon the other, and
it was ascertained that the guilty par
ties were the county Treasurer, Sam
uel Ketchum, and James Brown, a
banker. After the villains had secured
the money, Brown, in order to d isarm
suspicion, gagged and bound Ketch
um, and iu this condition was found
in the Treasurer's office. No suspicion
attached to any one, and no arrests
were made till about eighteen months
ago, when Ketchum, getting angry
because Brown wanted more than his
share of the spoils, let out the whole
secret. Brown had his trial in New
ark, last week, and on Thursday was
convicted. He is said to be worth
$100,000. .
" Qnite an excitement was raised on

southward, a few . days past, to cap

A Good Story.
The Buffalos found In the telegraph
poles of the overland line a new source
of delight on the treeless prairie the
novelty of having something to scratch
against. But it was expensive scratch
ing for the telegraph company ; and
there, Indeed was the rub, for the bisons
shook down, miles of wire daily. A
bright idea struck somebody to send
to St. Louis and Chicago for all the
brad awls that could be purchased,
and these driven into the poles, with
a view to wound the animals and
check their rubbing propensity.
Never wa3 a greater mistake. The
buffaloes were delighted. For the first
time they came so the scratch was sure
of a sensation in their thick hides that
thrilled them from horn to tail. They
would go fifteen miles to find a brad
awl. They fought huge battles around
the poles containing them, and the
victor would proudly climb the moun
tainous heap of rump and hump of the
fallen, and scratch himself into bliss
until the brad awls broke or Rio pole
came .down There ha3 been no de
mand for brad awls from the Kansas
region since the first invoice.
- Washington, April 13. -
Senator Sumner made his long ex
pected report upon the Alabama trea
ty in executive session to-day, accom
panied with a speech which occupied
two houre In delivery. The Senators
gave very earnest attention not only
to the speech but to the whole subject
in hand. There was a very general
feeling that the matter should"be treat
ed as one of utmost gravity, as possi
bly involving war at some future day
unless managed with the greatest wis
dom. Senator Sumner's greatest objection
to the treaty was that it did not rise to
the dignity of the question involved.
It only proposed a settlement of the
claims of private individuals of each
nation ; while a proper treaty upon
the subject should consider the in
sult and injury to our national sover
eignty. Iso mere payment for ships
destroyed could settle the matter.
American commerce had been driven
from the sea. Dangers from English
pirates and consequent increased rates
of insurance had changed trade from
American bottoms to English or those
of neutral nations.
Our shipyards had been idle and
trade in all its branches had felt the
effect of England's action. The loss
to the shlppinginterest alone was over
one hundred millions. A hope of re
cognition had encouraged the rebels,
prolonged the contest and cost in
treasure and life Was the debt of Eng
land. The Senator then discussed the sub
ject of belligerent rights at length.
He held that the first great wrong of
England was in her haste to recognize
the rebels, both on land and sea ; that
the only claim' she could set" up to
recognizing belligerency on account of
our own course was the sharp point
that we had blockaded the rebel ports
instead of closing them by proclama
tion, and argued with great force
ngahist this position , and drew the con
clusion from all his arguments that
England had not a shadow of excuse
for her course ; and he expressed the
hope that the Senate would reject it
unanimously.
Scott, Casserly, Chandler, Thurman,
Fesscnden, Howard,Warnerand Davis
made brief remarks, most of them be
ing of the nature of compliment to
Sumner, or assent to his views. All
were agreed as to the grave nature of
the question.
Chandler made a warlike demon
stration. He did not believe there was
room enough on this continent for
for any nation which had' insulted our
own. He had long believed a struggle
over Canada would soon come' and he
now believed it would come in his day.
Senator Warner made a short speech
attracting a good deal of attention. He
said the Senator should act In the
matter not in haste, not in excite
ment, nor with a flourish of trumpets,
but coolly, deliberately, solemly, and
that masterly statesman, the Senator
from Massachusetts, reaching the
consequences of England's action,
should know how impossible it was to
state the damages to the United States
and civilization in an account current
to be balanced by dollars.
He would not allow her to atone
for this great wrong by the payment
of a little paltry gold. If she could
afford to go down to history as an
aider of a rebellion in the interest of
human slavery, we could afford to lose
the few millions which she might
agree to give us in settlement. He
would have us maintain our great
vantage ground, as a guarantee of fu
ture justice and peace. He thought
that, despite England's aid to the re
bellion, we achieve the gratest tri
umph for liberty and Christain civil
ization to be found in the annals of
the races, and could afford to be con
tent. . .
In truth, there could be no settle
ment of this question made. It never
was possible we might forgive Great
Britian for the wrong done us, and
she might apologize, but she could
never pay for it in gold. Instead of
advising and consenting to this trea
ty, he would advise the President to
withdraw all propositions for settle
ment. In 6uch action there would be
a suggestion of national dignity, and
strength and reserved rights, which
could not fail to exercise a healthy in
fluence on the mind af the British na
tion, and of the world.
As soon as Mr. Sumner closed, Mr.
Chandler moved to open the door and
debate the treaty at length; In this
he was supported by Morton and oth
ers. The Senate, however, decided by
a large majority not to do this, but
deemed Mr. Sumner's speech of so
much national moment and interest
as to remove the injunction of secrecy
so as it was concerned, and allow him
to send it to the press. This he has
done by mail, through the associated
presSj to-night. ;

Radicalism and.it3 Fruits. The
St. Louis Democrat pointedly says :
"Iowa is a Radical State the er-
mont of the west the State where ne-
So suffrage was adopted by the popu
r vote by a large majority. There is
no state in the Union, not even Mas
sachusetts or Vermont, where the con
trol of Radical Ideas and of the Radical
Forty is more complete than ir Iowa,
f, then, as its opponents assert, Rad
icalism means rascality, incompe
tence, extravagance and corruption,
Iowa will be precisely the State in
which to find all these consequences
Illustrated. No better test can be de
sired. Iowa is out of debt and has
$029,000 cash on band. Iowa grows
more rapidly than any other State in
population and wealth. Iowa is build
ing more railroads, and more school
houses and churches, reads more
newspapers, establishes more libraries
and enjoys a more thorough and faith
ful enforcement of civil law than al
most any other State in the Union.
If extreme Radicalism resulU in that
way, what State would not be Radi
cal? Vermont and Iowa, the extreme
States East and West, get the best
government at the least expense per
capita. Look at the taxation in those
states, and compare it with that of
of New York, Indiana or Maryland.

The Herald's Washington special
gives the following account of the al
leged interview between Senator Ross
and President Grant :
Mr. Ross was admitted at the same
time as old Zftch Chandler, but had
the first chance to speak to the Presi
dent.
"I came, Mr. President, to talk with
you about the appointments for my
State, having heard you Intend to
make certain nominations. They
may not narraonize with my .desires,
if you deem it worth while to consult
them in the least."
To which Grant laconically and in
terrogatorily responded, "Y ell, sir."
This Presidential response was not
in the true manner to be relished by
the Kansas Senator.
"Arn I to understand that I am
rightly informed as to your stated
intentious to disregard my preferences
injthe matter of appointments, Mr.
President?" inquired the Senator.
"That is a question hardly susccpti-
Die oi an answer, sir. io what ap
pointments do you allude ' inform
me,Jand then I can reply," rejoined
Grant.
Senator Ros3 liked the second an
swer as little as the first, but having
come for enlightenment, he was de
termed not to go away in a fog. The
Senator, therefore, with suppressed
rage, explained the appointments to
which he had reference.
"Frankly, sir," said Grant, "I in
tend not to make those appoint
ments."
"What, sir, you scorn to accomodate
me in the least?" exclaimed Ross boil
ing over with rage.
"Sir, I believe I have given you my
answer," hrraly but sternly replied
Grant.
"This is not treating me fairly, Mr.
President, nor as one gentleman should
treat another," uttered Senator Ross.
"I have no intention to be dictated
to, sir," said Grant sharply.
"Nor have I to be Insulted, even bv
3ou, sir, were you toenty times the
resident," exclaimed Ross, with his
ire stirred up to white heat.
"I must declipe to be annoyed any
further on the subject," muttered
Grant between his teeth, "and desire
the interview should be terminated."
"You and your desires may go to
hell !" roared out Ross.
"Leave the room, sir! Leave the
room! or I shall force you out," thun
dered Grant,.
Ross tdok his departure accordingly
in a great rage, quitting the White
House like one rushing fromaplaguc,
and hurried to the Capitol.
President Grant thr?w himself into
a chair the moment the door closed
and wiped his brow with his pocket
handkerchief, evidently much agita
ted. Old Zach Chandler approached and
wa3 thus addressed by the President :
"Excuse me a few mohients. After
that interview. I must have a little
time to cool off.
Such is the account as I have learned
it, and which I give substantially as
it came to me. I do not vouch for ita
trutl, but have (rood ground to believe
it Is not very different from the actual
occurrence.
