The Last Sabbath or the. Cokikrcnce
Yuan. To-morrow Is the laat Sabbath of
this conference year of the Motho'lint
Cburcb in Petroleum Centre. Rev. Stephen
Heard, of Forestville, N. Y., father of tbe
present pastor of this cburcb, will occupy
tbe pulpit to-morrow evening. Tbe past
year bas been a prosperous ona to the
cburcb as regards additional members und
the general condition of the society. Nearly
92,000 bas been raised and expended in
Improvements, and tbe energy and perse
verance of tbe pastor bas done moen to in
crease the interest in cburcb affairs. We
believe it to be tbe general wish of tbe io
ciaty that the present pastor bo returned.
Origin or Odd Fellows. The origin of
the order of Odd Fellows dates back as far
as Nero, and was established by tbe Roman
soldiers in the year 65. At that time they
were called 'Fellow Citizens." The pres
ent name was given them by Titus Csrsar
twenty-four years nfterward, and they were
so called from the singular character of
their meetings, and by their knowing each
other by musical signs and langunge. At
the eamo time be presented loom with a
dispensation, engraved on a plate of gold,
bearing different emblems of mortality. In
the fifth century tbn order was established
in tbe Spanish dominions, and In Portugal
in tho sixth century. It did nut reach
Krauce and England until tile eleventh cen
tury. It waa tben established in tbe latter
country by John DeNllle, wbo, aesistod by
five knights from Fiance, established a
grand lodge in London.1

New York Citv In 1390. There is a
very funny article in tbe Comic Monthly
lor bopteiober, purporting to be a report oi
the meeting of New York Aldwnianin 1890.
It represents tbe city to have at least one
hundred Wards Mormon, Japanese,. Chi
nese and Shaker districts, joss bouses,
pavements made of stoel plates, termini for
twenty or thirty ocean cables, a public
prize ting cared for by the municipal au
thorities, women aldermen, and we don't
know what uli. The Comio Monthly bas
evidently an editor with tbe gift of sesond
sight.
Scspbnbion or a Stsck Firm The sus

firm ar unable to- ascertain tba real atain

Moek Exchange for tbe present, which was

Mr. Webster wrote, after continued pro
vocation, to tbe editor of a newspaper
wnicn referred to bis private affairs, and
especially to his not paying his debts. Uo
saiu suustantially: "It Is true that I have
not always paid my debts punctually, and
that I owe money. . One cause of thiols,
that I have not pressed those who owe ma
for pay. As an instance of. this I enclose
your tamer note, made to ma thirty years
ago, lor money lent biin. to educate hia
boys."
War With Spain-Excitement
aoavuej Asnoriaana in sjuba.
A Havana letter of tba lTth aays: Under
the news from Spain yesterday, the people
are discussing the probable war with tbe
United States. It is almost Worth a life for
an American .to go Into tbe streets alone.
It is reported! that Mr. Plumb, in conse
quence of long cypher dispatch recoived
day before yesterday, has dimaled the ar
chives of (be Consul Generalship to bo com
pactly packed, and that he will call a meet
ing of all tbe subjects or tba fulled States
to-morrow or next day. American houses
not only refuse to take orders for goods, but
will not sell exchange at freely a usual,
and many am Durebaslnir eiehanrn ami

While the advertising agent for Holmbold
was putting up bis mammoth poster in
New Haven, Conn., on a large board near
a bookstore, a young lady, very richly
dreHsed in silk and satins, but evidently
oon or tbe 'shoddy," seeing tba advertise
ment, mid supposing It to 1 a concert or
circus, stepped into a bookstore where tick
ets are usually sold forsucb entertainments,
and asked tbe clerk for two liekets fur
Ilelmbold's Bucbu." Of course tbe polite
clerk excused tbe matter as well as pojsi
ble, aud tbe lady retired amid tbe suppress
ed: laughUtr of several "bloods" who were
present. Sunday Slrrcury.
Prominent frieuds of Cuba desire that It
be stated that Atticls of the Constitu
tion adopted by the Cuban Congress in
April last, declares all inhabitants of the
country absolutely froe, aud they deny tbe
statement iu Senator Sumner's speech that
any decree bas been subsequently issued
maintaining slavery.
Lammers & Alden are selling off present
stock at cost.
A correspondent of the Waterbury (Conn. )
American does up Omaha as follows: "The
change from Missouri water to Omaha mud
is not very great. Tbe difference between
tbem seems to be that in one you go on a
boat, and the other on a 'bus. Both ele
ments are sticky, disagreeable, and appar
ently bottomless. I cannot recommend tbe
bus to try the water, for tbe mud already
seems too much for it, but I thiuk tt would
be an Improvement if the steamboat would
take to making trips through the mud.
Omaha bas 17,000 or 18,000 Inhabitants,
which its citizens magnify to 25,000. It
is tbe capital of Nebraska, and bas a turn-bio-down
looking building standing on a
bill, which it calls the capitol. It is prin
cipally remarkable as being tbe residence
of George Francis Train, tbe next President
of tbe United States', who owns two hun
dred and fifty cottoges here, which be val
ues at $30,000. Porbaps I should add that
tbe property stands in bis wile's name,
which wiil prevent its being attached to
pay the national debt when G. F. T. be
comes President.
Lust nicht an oil train on tha Erie rail
road took lire on a si do tiack at Pcnn Horn
City, about three miles west of Bergen tun
nel, too names spread with such: rapidity
that before any of the cars could be detach
ed and removed beyond danger, the entire
train was-enveloped, and twelve tank cars
Oiled with oil were burned, lnvolv
ing a loss or about $30,000. The rail
way track was on fire in several olaces. At
midnight the Penn Horn oil works were

For tho last ninety year Christ Church,
