Tlio rigiit of the line wa ? taken by the Omnhn , Lincoln and Council Blulii Can- tons. These divisions constitute the uni formed rank of the order. The dross con sists of black suits with gold-mountcc scabbard , burnished steel swords , purpli velvet waist nnd cross belts nnd gaunt lets embroidered with gold bullion , am high-crowned , black-beaver chancaii ! with purple ostrich plumes.

In nppcamnco , tin Millard canton , ot Omaha , poaii'ssed i decided advantage. Their bearing wx : ! of tlio military order , and evoked consld urablo admiration from the spectators. Following them , marched tlm Fords , o : Lincoln. These lacked the military ail of tlio homo canton , as a whole , thong ! some of tliutn bore themselves with f great deal of grace and dignity. At intervals along the ronto they gavt exhibitions of fancy mamimvrcs , such : u Hie forming of crosses , circles , triangle : and other Masonic symbols , and in the main acquitted themselves in a mannci to receive the commendation of many o tlio lookers-on. The Pottiiwattamio canton of Council Blufl's brought up the rear of the uui formed rank. The lodges followed in the order men tioncd above. These presented an ap pcaranco greatly above what om generally expects to lind in such i procession. The members wcro wpl clad , and wore a diversity of regalia both as regards ornamentation and coloi which interfered with an approach to i harmonious whole.

Odd Fellows , to our city , and Its c\cry enjoyment. The Cadet band of Lincoln played n wait/ , after which the anniversary ser vices from tlio form book worn rend. The Glee club then sang the Thanksgiving hymn , nnd were lollowctl by the intro * tlhction of Kcv. S. S. Hunting , the orator of the day. lliV. : S. 8. HL'XTINO'S SIT.ECH. Mr. Hunting commenced with u refer- nnco to tlio oecuninry and charitable assistance which Odd Fellowship had rendered during the past year , untl then traced its history from llio time of its inception in England , through llio partial establishment , in this country , concluding with n succinct statement of the manner in which Independent Odd Fellowship hail taken its rise. Speaking of its trials , he said : "In 1832 and 1833. during tlio anti- Masonic excitement which spread over the country like a tornado , thundering against all secret societies , anil charging them with political corruption , immor ality nnd intidolity , Odd Fellowship was sevurolv tried ; tlio order disappeared in Massachusetts , But it survived nnd under a newly revised and reformed litany in 1810 continued to prosper till 1801 when tlio war cloud settled down upon the country lint tlio history of those four ; years proves that oven the desolation of a civil war , unequalled in this century for some of its harsher features , could not destroy our order. \Vhon the war had closed , a eall of tlio Grand Lodge to meet in Baltimore in 1805 brought together a band of the most devoted friends of tlio cause , and tliero they cemented their friendship over tlie laying of a corner stone of a monument to Thomas \Vildoy , tlie lirst grand mas ter of tlie order in the Unitid States. That monument bus been erected in Broadway in thn city of Baltimore , by tlio voluntary contribution of Udd _ Follows1 and on ono siile are inscribed those words : 'Ho who realizes that the true mission of man on earth is to rise above tlio level of individual inllucnco , and to recognize the fatherhood of God over nil , nnd the brotherhood ot man , is nature's true nobleman.1 " Air. Hunting then showed how tlio society had grown in twenty years to eight grand lodges , 0,581 subordinate lodges , and in membership to 5U2.-107. Tliero wcro14 grand encampments , and 1,1)43 ) subordinate encampments. In 1881 § 3,112,000 had bocn expended on the sick and tlio orphans , as against about § 800- 000 in 1801. In reference to this ' share said ' 'Nebraska state's ho : jravo § 10,242. ami you know how it was given. You ask tlie 43 ! ) brothers , the forty-nine widows and they will tell you what this relief means. The 2,030 benefits for weeks of sickness have each been voted and n fraternal feeling 1ms gone with it. * * * Compare this method of giving relief with the ordinary gush and par tiality of city charity 'committees. ' IF $350,000 were given to bury the dead , the burial was attended by brothers of tlie order , though the deceased may have been a stranger in a strange land. There is no diminution in the zeal of the mem bership , no desire to halt by the wayside , but the energies of this vast brotherhood of more than half a million of men con tinues active in the great cause of human benefaction. By way of illustrating the working of Odd Fellowship , tlio speaker told of the finding of n membership card from Macon - con , Ga. , in the pocket of a drowned pas senger on board tlie foundered Schiller ofT Sicily Isle in 1875. It led to his burial followed by brothers who had only known him in death. "Pennsylvania leads all the states in membership with her 80.000 strong. In New Hampshire one in ton of tlio lepil voters are enrolled as members. With Nebraska , the outlook has never been fairer. Our order lo-day holds no second position , but occupies a trout rank of honor among the other agencies for good by which wo arc surrounded. * * * ' 1 ho great principles of fraternity that underlie our organization nro permeat ing all classes , and men nro beginning to realize now as never before tlio true relations that tliuysustain to each other ns members of the same great family. The germinating seeds of tlio Odd Fcltow.ihip that were sown by the pioneers of our order are taking deep root in tlio hearts otf our people , and wo begin to &eo tho. liolds whitening for the harvest. * * * Odd Fellowship inspires the hearts and animates tlio soul of living men , who , with an upward looking of their whole being , arc striving to place humanity upon a common , world-wide platform , upon which all mtin 111:13' : stand irrespec tive of parly. Wo may remember that our drdor reaches around the globe. Not only in tlicsu United States and territories , but in Mexico and South American re publics ; in the Sandwich Islands , Now /oalund , Australasia , iu Kuropo , Ger many , Denmark , Sweden , Franco , Portugal tugal , Spain and Swit/.crlanil. Mr. Hunting continued at length , and closed with an eloquent tribute to the order. Tlio Kail. The grand ball , the closing feature of tlio celebration , took place in tlio Expo sition building last night , Like a few of the enturtninmonts which hnvo already been given in that institution , it proved a notable event. The hall was brilliantly illuminated. The lloor and galleries wuro lilted with spectators. There wcro about 8,000 people present. The orchestra occupied the stage , the front of which was lined with a choice array of beautiful llowers. Above the orchestra was the word "Charily" llaminjj in hundreds of minia ture gas jets. Thu grand march occupied about twenty minutes. It was led by Mr. ami Mrs. M. Goldsmith , These were followed by tlio several cantons in uniform , and tnoso , in turn , by a miscellaneous nggro- cation of rognliud members and frionds. The ellcct was charming , especially when the great throng was in motion , keeping time to the strains of n beautiful march under Hofman's leadership , The programme consisted of twenty- four dances , the dancers remain ing m largo numbers until toward the close. The percentage of dancers to the attendance was greater than has thus far been noticed in the now build ing , i'lio percentage of good dancers was equally gratifying , nearly all who essayed thu fascinating movement of the waltz being able to do -without attracting - ing unfavorable attention'to themselves , The following is the ritOGKAMMK : Grand .March To Our Visiting Brothers Luiiciers Oaadrillo Initiatory Waltz , Plain State Lodge No. 10 Quadillle , Plain Three hiuks Polka i , . . .Scales nnd S woru Waltz Quadrille , , . . , .Covenant Ie r.

Mrs. Nottingham , being unable to get the means from her husband to supply her necessities , nt last informed him tlmt bho should rcsnmo her profession of teaching , so as to be as independent as she was before she was married. "You're not in earnest , my dear ? " said Mr. Nottingham. "Of course I'm in earnest. Why not ? Do you suppose I intend to go on this way , bogging and prayinjr for nvory farthing 1 spend ? I've boon independent once , and can bo so again. " "No ; but look here ! " Mr. Nottingham had risen , and was pacing up and down i-atlior uneasily. "My wife can't go to lunching ! What is it you want ? " "What I can earn 1" proudly replied Mrs. Nottingham. "But put it into words. " "Well , then , look here , " said Mrs. Not- tiiigham ; "Lhnvc. jilwnys done my own work and sowing. Considered as a cook , 1 demand 915 u month ; ns n seamstress , $5 ; as your wife ami the lawful mother of your children , at least $50 moru. And then I shall not consider myself ade quately compensated. " "Whow-w-w ! Let mo sec it's § 70 a month. "I consider my services as worth lh.it at least , " said Airs. Nottingham , with dignity ; "but if yon would rathnr hire a housekeeper , I will prosecute my original idea of opening a tTuIect school. " Mr. Nottingham walked ii | > and down tlio room once more , rubbing his hair into porcupine fashion with his lingers. "I will consult Uncle WcUierbuo , " ho said. said."Very well , " said Airs. Nottingham. "I'm quite willing to abide by his deci sion. " Uncle Wctherbco. n bron/.o-viznged cx- snilor , who was comfortably smoking his mcurnchuum up stairs , was summoned at onee. Ho came down rather slowly , on account of a wooden leg and listened to the pleading on ritlicr sidu with the ut most gravity. "D'.yo want to know my opinion ? " said Uncle Wetherbue , when they both had linishud. "Certainly , " said Mr. Nottingham. "Of oour.su , " said his wife. ' Then look hero , " said Uncle Wether- bee , "matrimony's a co-partnership of joys und .sorrows' , and it ought to be of money as well. My advice is , Nophuw Nicholas , that you divide oven with your wife ? " "Divide oven ! " blankly repeated Mr. Nottingham. "Or , bettor still , " went on Uncle Wolhorbco , "tako one-third ot this money yourself , lay aside one-third for house hold nnnloMis , nnd then give llio other third to Pho-bo. " "Yes , but , uncle " "You asked my advice , " said Uncle Wolherbco. "Tficro it is , and I have nothing more to say. " Ho stumped of ! ' up Muirs ugiihi. Mr. Nottingham looked nt his wifu ; his wifu looked buck nt him. "Wolh" said Plinibo. "J will try it , " said Mr. Nottingham , "It seems si wild idea , but Un 'o ' WcMmr- bee is a rumurknblo bunsiblu man , Y jJ I'll try it. " For the no.\t three years Mr. Nottingham ham remained in iiartuership witli hiti wifu on these unusual financial condi tions. "Though for the life of mo I can't Pee what you do with all your money , " said ho to ins wife. "Tho very idea that has often sug gested itself to inn in regard to your money , " retorted Mrs. Nottingham laughingly. "I had intended to buy a house for you if it had not been for the unexpected ap propriation of my funds , " saiil .Mr. Not tingham. "I can wait , dear , " said his wife , serenely. "All in good time. " But- one afternoon Mr. Nottingham came homo early from business nnd rush ed un to Unclu Wetlierbno'H room. "My dear uncle , " wild ho , "that house of Filkirk's is in thu market at fo reed Bale. Such n bargain ! Only three thous and dollars ! " "Why don't you buy it , then ? " ( .aid Mr. Wotherbco , scooping fresh tobacco out of his jaw. "Beoimso Pvo only been able to lay tin two thousand of Hint diicsodly small at- lowMiiun of iniuo , " btiid Mrs. Nottingham. "Kyer since 1 divided with Pliwbu , accord ing to your suj.'gi'Stioii " "Yns , " nodiu-d Uncle Wclhcrbcon , "ncrord to mj auagost'tm ' " "Pvo been a ucmpui lively poor man , " sighed 1Nottingham. ' . "Only can't lay up .iiiytlilug on such a small pittance us that. " "Perhaps j-our wife thinks so , too , " chuckled Undo Wi'therbeo. "Oh. that's ultogother a diflerent matter - tor , " said Mr. Nottingham. "I'vo been thinking to reconsider that nfTulr. " Um-lu Wfthorbuu started intently at his wooden It- ; : , and * > aid nothing. "Jut"nddodMr Nottingham , "about the Filkirk place ? It's n little gem of a house , nnd I've always wanted a house of my own This ruin-paying business don't iillogoCher suit mo. And I could give a iuorlg jju for the f 1M ( ) if you would allow mo to use your name aa security. " "O certainly , cortntnlyl" said Uncle Wclhcrbee ; "uso it as much ns you liko. " And Mr. Nottingham went off rejoicing. But Wicgs te Snnsrstcr , the agents in charge of the Filkirk placewcro exultant when ho arrived. "Two thousand dollars and a mort gage for the balance is very well , " said Mr. Snngstcr ; "but wo had another ofl'cr this morning of cash do vul Ami wo considered it our duly to Mr. Filkirk to close with it. Very sorry but perhaps wo might suit Mr. Nottingham with some other piece of property ! " Mr. Nottingham wont homo sndly dis pirited. "What's the use of trying to save money ? " said bo. "I'm going to glvo up after this ! " "I don't ' agree with 5-011 Ihoro , dear , " said Mrs. Nottingham. "Pvo been sav ing money for the past throe years , nnd I'vo found it pays. " "You ImvoV" said her husband. "Of course I have. Do you suppose I spoilt all the money ? Not a bit of it. I put tlio best part of it out at interest , al ways following Uncle Wothorbeo's advlco in my investments' and I've bought a hotiso with ill" "What house ? " Mr. Nottingham's eyes opened wider and wider. "The Filkirk house. " said Mrs. N. , her lips anil cheeks dimpled all over with satisfaction. "I completed the bargain to-day. My dear , " ( stealing one arm around her husband's neck ) "how do you think I have held up my end of the business partnership ? " "Better than I have tlouo myself , Plirubc , " said Mr. Nottingham , with a curious moisture coming Into his oycs. "My plucky little wife , lam proud of yon. " "It was your money , Nicholas , " said the vvlfo in a faltering voice , "But it was your pmrtcnco nnd economy that stored it up , Phoubo. " "Then yon don't regret the tcims and tlm articles of our partnership ? " So tlio young couple moved into the Filkirk liou.su when the 1st of May cnmo round , and tlio cosiest room with n south window and an open lircplnco for a wooden lire , was reserved for Uncle Wctherbco. And Mr. Nottingham is never tired of tolling his friends his wife bought tlio place with bur shnro of the partnership profits. "Tho most charming woman in the world. " says Mr. Nottingham. DUNDY COUNTY'S GROWTH. An Immense Hush of Settlers to SoittlnvuHt Nebraska. BIIKIEMAN , Nebraska , April 21 [ Correspondence to the Bii : . " | The immigration to Dundy county and contiguous territory has bocn marovlons this spring. It is estimated that not less than 3,000 people have landed at Benklo- man in the last six weeks , nnd that 2,000 have taken land and begun the founda tions of a homo. The immigrants are , as a class , enterprising , intelligent , well- to-do people who do not comet nero be cause of poverty , but because of seeing a a good investment in a western homo They have be on favored by nature in every way ; a mild winter , nn early spring and copious rains. During the past two weeks there has been nearly four inches of rain fall and tlie ground is wet for four font from the * pin-face. Nearly every day sees a shower of severity and long duration. Crops of every kind are being planted and all encouraging wign is tlio immense amount of fruit trees and small fruits sot out. It is conceded , now , that the danger line of drouth has parsed Dundy county and it is supposed that bravo spirits are struggling against it further on. Nearly $1,000,000 , has been spent this spring.in improvements , and all the region round about is witness to the labor and cnro. Bcnkleman lias grown marvelously and all the neighbor- me towns have risen so rapidly as to huvo no jealousy of Bcnkiiiuian. With tlio line prospects of crops all feel satis- lied and many a pleasant homo now smiles forth , where tlio untelopu made their homes years ago. The soil of Dundy county is black , as deep , as fer tile and tlio surface as level as central Illinois , and that is good. A very dis tinct line separates this good portion from the sand hills comprising the re mainder of the county. Adjoining Dundy county in Colorado , on the line of tin ; Oberlin extension of the B. & M. lies a country far larger , as fertile , ot tlio blackest boil and of wonderful product iveness. This is now the Held of settle ment and is sure to make a renmrkulilo region , l.ying just west of Bird City , Kan sas , and just Mich land. There are thoii- anils quarter-sections upon which a ImiiilKuruhief could be dropped and seen fiom every part of llio quarter. The complaint of fraudulent entries of Commissioner Sparks never applied to this country to any extent. A larger per- uenlugo of actual settlers , who intend to rear homes and remain , never came to any new country. Some instances ot fraud hayo occurred among the entries ot the eattlo men made in an early day before tlio scrutiny of the actual jiottliTt ) was upon them , nro undoubtedly reeking witli dishonesty. These instances wuro entries of bottom land , good for grazing purposes only , and alVi-el the interests of no settler or farmer wishing agricultural laud. There have been no con Mints here nhonl land , as there is too much -rood laud lying open to llio settler , which af fords a satuty vnlvo for the pressure to obtain u farm of Uncle Sam. Thu time i now piiht of fonrd for the pro porlty and fertility of tliUiotiiitryanil : the grow ing prosperous towns , tlm building rail- rouils , tlio thick settlement of fnnner.s , thu valuublo and numerous improvu- iiienls , this growi'ig crops and favorable prospects shadow forth dimly the coming greatness of this country and tlio solemn departure of thu Great American Desert from the limits of tlio state.

"A canal , " was tlio answer. "Why wasn't it finished ? " "No need of it. By the time they had dug this far the company was consoli dated with a railroad , tlio subscriptions were all in , the stock-holders fro/.en out nnd the leading men ready for a year's pleasure trip to Kuropo , " Ho Never Fooled 'lt\iu. \ In His LU'c.

They grow mellow in . endearing recollection and their lugs bo- cumu no emotional that the judge , upon starting homo , discovered tlmt it was only in the most wayward manner--a manner of unexpected nnd uncurtain direction that ho could wjilk. Ono thing favored the old follow. IIU tongue never becamu thick , but his eyesight , alas , was ut times woefully bad. " ( Jot to rig up something , " he mused , ns ho pursued bib scalloped way in the direction of homo. "Never fooled 'Liv.a in my life , but it stands me in hand to do it his time. Let mo see.

Good plan. " When ho reached homo , Mrs , Bnlvngo , although tlio hour was late , .sat in ex pectancy of his arrival , bho spoke pleasantly when ho entered the room. "Ah. " ho mused , "think I'vo got you this timo. So devilish blind I can't and a book. Hero's ono on llio trunk.
