The Deacon's Dog.

1t was a great many years ago,
at camp-meeting,. that Brother
Higgins, good man but passion.
ately fond of dogs, came in one day
accompanied by a black-and tan
hound. Somebody asked him tc
address the congregation, and he
mounted the stand for that pur.
pose, while his dog sat down on his
launches Immediately in front,
looking at his master. In the
midst Of the discourse which en-
tertained US much, another dog
came up, and after a few social
sniffs at Brother Higgins dog, be
gan to examine the hindsleg of the
latter with bis teeth, apparently
for the purpose of ascertaining if
it was tender. An animated con-
test ensued and one of the congre-
cation stepped forward for the pur-
pose cf separating the animals
His efforts were not successful
He would snatch at the leg of Hig
gins dog. but before his hand got
there the yellow dog would be on
that side, and would probably take
an incidental bite at the deacon $
hand. Brother Higgins paused in
bis discourse and watched the
deacon. Fhen he exclaimed,
"spit in his eye, Brother Thomp-
son, spit ia the hounds eye y
Brother Thompson did, and the
fisht ended. "But I just want to
say" continued Mr. Higgins, "that
outside of The sanctuary that dog
of mine can eat mp any salmon

then chaw up the bones of his an
cestors for four generations Nth

WHAT THE ORANGES ARE Do,sc

The rapidity of their growth in num-

Citations is said to exceed FIVE thousand,
and they WELD great power in each of
the Middle, Western and Southern
States. In propotion to voting force,
farmers have exerted no influence what.
ever IN shaping Federal laws. They
nave been beasts of burden, ridden to
poverty by the tarih-moncers and
land-pirates, and by myriads of Office
holders. The farmers at last throw off
the yoke. For the first time they are
10 open revolt. Eastern and mercan-
tile journals and organs of New Eng
land selishness deride the oranges and
pronounce them ignorant and impotept.
In fact,money and concentrated force ia
the peculiar agency of success to which
the monopolists of power and money
nave ever resorted. They will ever ex-
ert the same influences at Washington
and it is very we'll that the great cen.
trail grange of the continent is located at
Washington. The old spectators and
and habitual, life. long

Of the oranges, but the farmers have
