The Boston Grange on Railroad Re
form.
BOSTON, Sept. IA well attended public
meeting was held to-day, under the auspl-
ces of lhs Boston Grange, at the CONNER
cial Exchange. 1t was called TO order by
John B. Bartlett, Master of the Grange,
who sisted that the principal question was
that nf the cheap TRANSFORMATION of products
from the West to the East and reform in
railroad management, which was not
only necessary, but indispensable.
j. G. Abbott, General Deputy of the Ma
tioDal Grange, spoke Of the great revolution
that was going on in the country, and urged
the importance Of put ing down this mono
poly of railroads. He gave statistics Of the
earnings Of the different railroads, neces-
sarily reducing the profit of the farmers to
acOut nothing. He CO tended that the cost
of freight and travel could be reduced to a
quarter ofihe present Rates, and considered
i5 downright robbery as it is now managed.
There should, he claimed, be superior to
combine and consolidate, and the Grange is
the only organization that has, with any de-
gree of success, met this monopoly.
Amasa Walker said it should be the duty
of Congress to interfere and protect the
business interests Of the country. He spoke
Of three ways in which the great object
could be attained: First, by general law
fixing the rate of travel and freight on all
roads in the country. Second, to crea
lew lines between the principal depots of
transportation, and third, by purchasing all
the roads and placing them under Govern
ment management, to Re leased, which
would open all roads 10 the public at the
cheapest rate. He reviewed the different
plans and thought the las. the most FEAST
be. he considered the question of railroad
reform national question. which would
become political one, and can only be
achieved by political action.

A NEW ORLEANS lady is in sore
trouble. Ste feels that all her long cherish
ed hopes of matrimonial happiness are
b,ighted and her life must henceforward be
a blank. Her name is Simpkins, and one
unlucky night recently, as she was sitting
in the parlor entertaining her idol, she dis
covered some insect was down her back.
She distinctly felt it crawl. She
knew il was big bug, and probably dead
ly poison; but as the idol was On the verge
of proposal, she stood it. II rested for a
while, and she felt relieved; it moved just
a little though, once, wen sho Tried to
touch it with the end of her fan outside OF
her dress; but in little Will she could
feel it sticking the sharp stiag into her
flesh. "Obl" she almost shuddered. "My
DEAR" said the idol. She paused. "Mv
dear miss, what makes you SO restless?"
"Oh, n thing" and she brushed at the bug
The idol turned partially and touched her
hand. Agony the Ong stung her; it was
burying itself in her flesh. She ru he'd from
The room and found-thst it was pin which
had slipped out of her dress. She returned,
but the idol was gone, and has never been
to see her since.

Pension Vampires.
The commissioner of psusions announces
that be is 10 receipt of Information showing
that exa ini0g surgeons in various locali-
ties have been guilty of the unnro.essional
and manifsstly unfair act of issuing clrcu-
lars, to pensioners requesting them to ap-
pear before them for exau,ination. These
circulars are couched in language which
tend to mislead pensioners, impressing them
with the idea that they must appear before
that particular surgeon or board Of examin-
ing surgeons and no other for examination.
Invalid pensioners will apply in all cases to
the most convenient examining surgeon
which will be the one nearest or most ac-
cessible TO their hon es, regardless of cir
culsrs. Circulars Of this kind are issued
wholly without authority and are regarded
by the commissioner of pensions as in every
respect unprofessionsl aud unwarra ntable.
Congressional Pay.
