"a The Boston Mass Journal says of
the attempt to make political machine
out of the farmers movement: "That
many wrongs exist that demand righting
we do not doubt, but to break loose from
all ties and give up all other principles to
effect change is not the way to succeed.
Influence enough can be brought to bear
on legislation without new organizations,
to bring about all that is desired. The
wiser portions of the Grangers believe
this, and are deprecating the formation of
a party which will be sure to fall into the
hands of designing politicians.

How the Persians Collect Debts.

THE Persian creditor having once de.
termined to get his money calls for it
early in the morning and cannot be per.
suaded to go away until he is paid. He
brings his carpet with him and sits down
in his debtors bedroom, eating, drinking,
sleeping, and smoking there till he is
bought off. Some years ago, not many,
a Persian had, or fancied that he had, a
claim on the English Foreign Office.
so one day he travelled away from Te-
heran, and, after many strange adventures,
arrived in London, taking his carpet with
nm, and 1ully prepared to sit upon the
Foreign Office, which he supposed to be a
person, till he was satisfied. Lord Pal.
merston was Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs at the time, and took the thing
good d-humoredly; but Mr.. Hammond, the
Under Secretary of State, who is sharp
tempered gentleman, and was already high
up in the office, was for calling police
man.
The practice of Sitting upon man, y
as it is called, universally prevails in Per-
sia, and it is not easy to deal with it.
Still 1t may be dealt with, and Sir John
Mcneil, a shrewd old Scotch diploma.
tist, who was once accredited to the Per
sian court, contrived to get rid of Per
sian who had tried to sit upon him by a
rather clever device.
AT the New Year, which is kept as a
great festival in Persia, religious mendi-
cants go about not SO much asking for
aims as insisting upon fixed sum- They
generally tax foreign ambassador rather
highly, and one of them, dervis. de.
manded an extravagant sum from Sir
John Mcneil. The Scotch diplomatist
offered to compromise with him for any
reasonable amount, but his offer was re-
fused, and as he would not give more the
dervis proceeded to sit upon him. He
established himself in Sir Johns garden,
just before his study windows, and every
now and then during the day, and when.
ever he woke up at night this dervis set
up horrible hullabaloo and blew a
cracked trumpet as ifthe judgment day had
come. Sir John, who did not like TO have
his rest disturbed in this way, determined
to put stop to the dervis' tricks, and
eject him by force; but he was solemnly
warned by the Persian authorities that il
would be dangerous to lay hands upon
the dervis. "Get rid of him if you can, !"
said they, laughing, as they are wont to do
at minister's perplexity, "but do not
touch him"
"Very well" said Sir John, dryly; and
he sent for a bricklayer.
"Build me a wall round that howlinp
ueggar In my garuen," satu OH JOnn TO
the bricklayer, "and then roof it in p'
The dervis looked on composedly while the
wall rose slowly round him, and made
more noise than ever; but when he per
ceived they really meant to shut him in a
tomb, alive, he jumped over the lowest
part Of the wall and rushed away like a
maniac. Sir John was probably the only
European that ever got the better of a
dervis.-COr. Neao York Herald.

egY AS new issues have arisen, the Re-
publican party has taken grounds plainly
and unequivocally, and marched straight
forward to the accomplishment of its pur-
pose. And now it has entered upon the
great contest being waged between the
people and the railroad and other money
cd corporations. Already the influence
of the position taken by the Republican
State Conventions of Ohio, Iowa, Mime.
sofa and Maine is beginning to be felt.
A month ago the railroads of this State
defiantly published their rates of freight
and fare even higher than they had been
before. But now they are beginning to
yield, so that on all principal lines in this
State their rates have heen and are being
reduced to a point lower than they have
been for the last ten years.-PriRcet0n (LU.)

Forgetting the Farmers.

This significant fact should be we'll
marked by those interested. But there is
another no less remarkable. The conven-

of free trade. The country was to be re-

u The Hartford (Conn.) C0urant sar-
castically says of the 'new party" move
ment in Ohio: The new party in Ohio,
which is pre-ordained fzzle, wasted a
great deal of ingenuity in pursuit of an
appropriate name for itself. AS it set up
a claim to be a reform party, the name Of
Liberal Democrat was at once seen to be
ridiculous, after the Greeley performance,
and neither Liberal nor Democrat ex-
pressed any intention of reform to the
popular mind. The Cocktail Convention
was title given to the gathering, and
cocktail would not be bad name for the
gang. But on the whole, the name of

If the party is to become national, John
Cochrane, the executor of the Greeley
movement in New York, and Sam Garry
of Ohio and that true friend of the people,
and General Brinkerhoff and the "quadri-
lateral journals" that manufactured the
biggest political fasco ever seen on the
continent, would find the title of "Bour-
bon Sour" one easily understood in these
hot days, and their party, by a run of luck,
might become as epidemic as the cholera.

THE PRESIDENT NO SwEARER.-We
think President Grant, in the course of
his more active recent life, has seen
men and occasions when the provoca-
ton to a little conversation savoring
more of strength than righteousness
was very great; but we are nevertheless
gratiied at reading the following testi-
mony to his reticence in the use of pro-
family, in Washington paper: "On
Friday, before leaving for Long Branch,
the President dropped in to see we'll
known citizen of Washington. During
his stay the daughter of the gentleman
referred to remarked that she had heard
pleasant thing about him. The Presi-
dent inquired to what she referred. Il
have been told by an officer who served
with you in the army said she, that
he had been with you under many try
ing circumstances, and that in no single
instance, no matter what the provoca-
ton, had he ever known you to make
use of profane language. l was de-
lighted to hear this, especially in view
of the fact that profanity is said to be
the rule, and not the exception, among
army officers. Will you excuse me,
Mr.. President, if I inquire if what l
heard is trne" 1T is, believe, modest
ly replied the President; Il have always
regarded profane language as unneces-
sary, to say the least; and as l am a
man of few words, j have never been

and on his return to the hotel he was
shown to his new apartment, with the
information that the baggage of the
former occupant had not been removed,
but that it would be taken away during

growing dark, so our hero sat down by
the window to indulge in little twi-

A LITTLE DEAF.-Old Uncle S. was
engaged to work in B. one winter by
Mr.. H., who took him to board in his
own family. Mr.. s. arrived Saturday
evening, and during the evening Mrs.
H. thinking to find whether the old gen.
tleman went to church, asked him the
question.
''Mr. S. where do you attend church,"
"What did you say:"
"Where do you attend church,"
"You will have to speak triAe loud
er, as am little deaf"
So Mrs. H. asks again, in a louder
voice, "Where do you attend church -
The old man hesitated, not liking to
ask again, but, after few moments, he
said, s.When do / change my shirt y
Imagine, if you can, the result. Mrs.
H. didn't find where he attended
church, after all, but she was careful
to speak very loud when talking with
the old man after that.
