The recommendation was adopted. The Presbytery resolved that its next meeting be in the Second Presbyterian Church of Omaha and after the transaction of further miscellaneous business) adjourned, tine aa a a 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 introduction of the order in the United States. The first and only successful Attempt to introduce the principles of Friendship, Love and Truth, in America, was made in Baltimore, on the 25th day of April, 1319. Thomas Wildey, a blacksmith by trade, an Englishman, by birth, and a citizen of Balti-timore, by adoption, published a card, calling for a meeting of Odd Fellows at the Seven Stars Tavern in Second street in that city. It was answered by four members of the order; and Washington Lodge No. 1, was instituted.

Through the instrumentality of Past Grand John Crow-der, of Preston, England, a charter wr received on October 23d, 1819. From this little band of five members 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 national troops in 1861, gives the following report of 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. Anyways, no one eber knowed wot become 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." "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 people'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 7 "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' redeemer ob de cullud people, an' mos' ob dem beliebed he was Jesus Christ come back ter sabe us." Serlou Accusation Against An drew Johnson. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Times makes the following accusation against Andrew Johnson The late President always boasted of bis integrity and his honesty, and in his farewell address prompously proclaimed that no one could charge him with corruption, or with having received a cent which did not rightfully belong to him. It has been discovered 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 upwards 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 carry 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.

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, endeavored 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 practicability of establishing and subscribing to the stock of the St. Louis Grain Association.

Governor E. Steward 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. ABIELODY. As ulcrw the sun his parting smile At even-tide is weaving, With lingering light he wella the while Upon the world he's leaving.

Thos too, when life la waning fast, And youthful days are fleeting, "We turn on longing look to cast Upon those days retreating. When fortune hath In latter years Our several lots assigned us; When, we have rent with bitter tears The ties that used to bind us home. Btill through those scenes of voutli and Where naught but love Is spoken, Cn memory's wing tis sweet to roam In nights of Joy unbroken. And an the winds of nge' and pain Are around ns sadly sighing. While many a gem from friendships chain Within the tomb is lying may the deeds the post hath blest, On each returning morrow, Like sun beams from the golden West, lil amine our hearts of sorrow.

lleld and Farm. Xnturnl Magic Great performers of the art of legerdemain sometimes give exhibitions gratis, and when not expected. Houd-in, well known for his dexterity, while in Agusta, Georgia, once resolved to try his art on the old colored woman, whom ha met in the street, with her basket of eggs. Houdin suddenly 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 magician, as he laid down a bit of fractional "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 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 carefully 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' let you hab dat dar 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 quarter, 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 money 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 authorities 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 parties were the county Treasurer, Samuel Ketchum, and James Brown, a banker.

After the villains had secured the money, Brown, in order to isarm suspicion, gagged and bound Ketchum, 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 the streets adjacent to the military headquarters, and the news spread rapidly that seven Indians had been caught stealing, and were about to be tried therefor.

Upon arriving at headquarters and making inquiry, we were informed that they were a party of. a small-band of Pawnees who started southward, a few days past, to capture stock from the hostile tribes below. They succeeded in their project, and while returning chanced to pass through Hays City. Kansas, where they were attacked by a party of roughs, Who killed twelve of their number.

R. R. Livingston, of Plattsmauth, to the office of surveyor General of Iowa, and Nebraska. Gen. Livingston has long been a resident of this State, served his country with signal ability as an army officer during the war, and has always been known as an able and active Republican.

As aman of ability, energy and cultivation hi3 superior cannot be found, and to the discharge of his official duties he brings a vast fund of practical experience. The office to which Gen. Livingston has been appointed was first filled by Gen. Harrison, and from the date of found, ing till to day it has never been in better hands. Gen.

Hitchcock, who retires from office of surveyor General has discharged the duties thereof for the past two 'years in a very able and satisfactory manner. IVejnont Tribune, A knowledge of our duties is the most useful part of philosophy. A 'VV'A tf, ,5 A. 1 i 22, 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 scratching 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 mountainous heap of rump and hump of the fallen, and scratch himself into bliss until the brad awls broke or Rio pole came There ha3 been no demand for brad awls from the Kansas region since the first invoice. Washington, April 13. Senator Sumner made his long expected report upon the Alabama treaty in executive session to-day, accompanied 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 treated as one of utmost gravity, as possibly involving war at some future day unless managed with the greatest wisdom. 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 insult and injury to our national sovereignty. 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 England.

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 proclamation, and argued with great force ngahist this position and drew the conclusion 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, Davis made brief remarks, most of them being 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 demonstration.

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 excitement, 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 future justice and peace. He thought that, despite England's aid to the rebellion, we achieve the gratest triumph for liberty and Christain civilization to be found in the annals of the races, and could afford to be content. In truth, there could be no settlement 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 treaty, he would advise the President to withdraw all propositions for settlement. In 6uch action there would be a suggestion of national dignity, and strength and reserved rights, which could not fail to exercise a healthy influence on the mind af the British nation, 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 others.

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. State School Superintendent. The Governor has appointed S.

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 Massachusetts or Vermont, where the con trol of Radical Ideas and of the Radical Forty is more complete than ir Iowa, then, as its opponents assert, Radicalism means rascality, incompetence, 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 building 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 almost 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.

The Herald's Washington special gives the following account of the alleged 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 if you deem it worth while to consult them in the least." To which Grant laconically and in-terrogatorily responded, 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 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 intend not to make those appoint ments." "What, sir, you scorn to accomodate me in the least?" exclaimed Ross boiling 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," thundered Ross tdok his departure accordingly in a great rage, quitting the White House like one rushing fromaplaguc, and hurried to the Capitol.

President Grant himself into a chair the moment the door closed and wiped his brow with his pocket handkerchief, evidently much agitated. 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.
