good for asparagus is humbug. We
have not found it so. In practice OIL
over forty years We have used it freely;
but we have also used freely of animal
manure. The latter by the way should
be well rotted, otherwise the seeds Of
weeds and grass give great labor to, clean
out. Oflate years we have used the scra-
pings of hen roosts, by gathering them
and sleeping for few days in water, then
applying the liquid to the bed, say in
early March. and at the same time sprink,

The Grand Army Of the Republic.

-
The Convention of the Grand Army
of the Republic that met not long ago at
Columbus, Ohio, assured the world that
il was q benevolent institntion, intended
to see to the comfort Of the widows and
orphans of soldiers who persisted 10 the
late war, and Of MANNED and disabled
soldiers; and that it was not political In
stitution. Nobody of experience in the
ways of the world believed any such stuff.
The benevolent giving out was merely
the sugar coating Of the pill. The fol-
lowing extract from letter wfittel by a
responsible party will show the true char,
Facter of the organization, intowhich be
was initiated last summer. He writes us:
"I was initiated into the Grand Army

ton will not speak. Of now, as it is too
long. After initiation ! was made ac-
quainted with the following grip, pass
word and signs. The grip is, to lock
small fingers. The password is "Mc-
Pherson.'' The hailing sign is "handle,
tear and charge cartridge" IF this is an
swered, you are to address the one who
answers as follows:
Q.-Were you in servicep
Al was.

Al am.
Q.-What battalion?

may be) .e
After this / was appointed. The P.
G. then addressed US in few remarks,
and we adjourned. When I entered this,
I was told that it was no political order.
But the next night we met, and, after in
itiating few, the following was moved:
Resolued, That this encampment of the
- Battalion G. A., r. hereafter will in
no wise whatever encourage the profess
sions or trades of men who are Demo
cratic, and do all they can to discourage
their business, and at all times throw
their influence with the order or the
members of this Union party. :
/ was then convinced that the order was
political, and resolved to expose it. {. I
have attended fourteen lodges, and in
each one found from five to twenty stand
of arms-to back Gngress, as the mem
bers said" .srsee
The order of the Grand Army Of the
Republic is just such an order as was the
Know Nothing Order-a secret political
society-only little more so, and more
mischievous in its designs. A secret So
ciety in a free country, that keeps arms
on hands, means mischief; and it is we'll
the public should understand it.-Enq.
