THE STUMP. of tho largest farm

that which met at Washington, of that
State, last week. The Chicago Tribune
says: Sixty oranges took part in the
procession. robed in the regnlia of their
order, and there were about 10000
farmers on the ground. They were ad-
dressed by Dudley W. Adams, master
OF the national grange. and Miss Gar

clared to have made the better speech

the subject peculiarly Interesting at this
timo. Until within recent Centuries.
pilgriE,ages were among the most com.

OF the Christian Courch. They were
acts OF faith, testifying to aud exsltipp
the plety Ut the pilgrim, and they were
most powerful means in the spread OF
Christianity. Originating in desire to

aud tho scenes Of his sufrerings they
were gradually extended to ali spots hal
lowed by tho bones and relics of famous
saints, or by the legendary associations
with their names. This custom of max
ing pilgrimages seems to be founded
deep IN an instinct of human nature.

lunch baskets, much after the fashion of
American camp-meeting excursions.
The English Catholics have chosen
Paray Ie Moniul. and there, at the shrine
OF Margaret Marie Alacoque, o nun,
from whom comes the legend of the
Sacred Heart, they made their devo-
tions on Thursday. The legend runs
that the Saviour appeared in q vision to
the nun, removed her heart, placed it in
his own bosom, where she saw it
wrapped in flames, and that he restored
it to her, leaving wound in her breast,
which never healed, aud instructed her
to tell the church to establish the wor-
ship OF the Sacred Heart henceforth.
From this curious Legend arose the wor-
ship OF the Sacred Heart, under the pa
tronage OF the order of Jesui.s. The
worship of the Sacred Heart and the
use of the mystic title and emblem are
as familiar to English Catholics as they
are to Catholics in America. In Eng
land. as in the United STAGES, the uamc
is attached to Catholic schools and asy-
lums, and is decided favorite in the
nomenclature Of the church.

FANCY DRINKS IN FArHRRLiAND. More
than one English correspondent, writ
ing from Vienna, has described tho
ecstasy With with the Americans have
gone" for those ''gentle American
drinks" mentioned by Disracli in '.Lo-
THAR. Our punches. our jaleps and
our cobblers spread like wild.hre. All
the world was tickled with straw. The
solemn German beverages were abjured,
nnd you saw weIl-born beauties imbib-
Ing gin slings and Tom and Jerrys with
the piquant consoiousness of doing
something naughty in II highly fascinut-
Ing manner. The drink imbibed, they
made hair-pins of the slender golden
tubes through which they had drawn it,
and went rejoicing on their way. Now,
1t Is not generally admitted that Ameri-
cans are artists in ambition, and, conse-
quently, tho compliment which our
German aud Austrian friends have been
KIND enough to pay us comes with pe-
callnr grace. Il is handsome return
for the kindness with which we have
taken to lage- beer. we feel that, to
some extent, we have justified ourselves
IN the eyes Of the world. How beauti-
iul ls tho Imagination that enters into
fancy drinks They are liquid kaleido-
scopes. to be admired by the mouth in
stead of the eye. Aud yet the Teutons
DO not seem to havo entered into the
spirit of the thing as largely ns could be
wished. 1t was no infrequent sight for
three of them 10 surround one cobbler
and gloatingly imbibe at once in a sort
OF triangular triumph. It has been sug-
gested, indeed, that this arose from the
conclusion that three heads we're better
than one, and that when 80 important
an affair as an American julep was to be
pronounced upon, it was advisable to
have one Judgment corrected by two
others. At any rate, there can be no
doubt that American drinks in Vienna
were success, and that we're the origi-
nator Of American fancy beverages
known. his name would sink affection
ately into the Teutonic heart.

BAD FOR PUNCH DRINKERS. We have
no doubt that there are fow parties in
town who suck in dampness through q
straw occasionally, though our natural
tinidity compels us to state, in this con-
neotion, that we refer to no particular
individual. However, we wish to warn
punch drinkers who nse straws, as they
run great risk. In st. Louis, gem
tleman we'll known in business circles
suffered intensely from the heat. After
experimenting with q number of cooling
beverages, he settled on claret punches
as the best 'steady drink" for hot wea-
ther, and absorbed several of them daily
through a straw. Unfortunately, be
held the straw in the same position as
he did Cigar, in the corner of his
month. with the end resting against his
cheek. at the expiration of few days,
the intensely cold liquid had O singular
effect, and formed IN abscess in his
check. Not knowing at first what it
was, he continued to dispose of his re-
gular number Of punches, and was soon
tuken with the lockjaw. Several physi-
clans attended him, and with difficulty
saved his life. They were for some time
at loss to account for the singular af-
Fiction. but on hearing his story, all
agreed that the clarot punches were re-
sponsible for the evil. The sufferer, al
though not entirely recovered, is out Of
danger. He will carefully avoid iu fu-
ture oil crooked and dangerous drinks,
which he now considers delusion and
u snare, and will either take his straight
or with sugar.
Middleton, village in Ireland, has
sot an example Of plucky dealing with
corporations which use their chartered
privileges for the purpose Of extortion
that would cause Il decided sensation if
followed as II precedent elsewh ere. Its
gas company advanced its rates twenty
i've cents per 1000 feet. The Middle
t"Iiaps met and requested Ahc company
& r.,;irn 10 tho old rates. The gus
nen refused. The Middletonians
a.faishtwoy had their gas shut of, and.
like the wise virgins in the parable, laid
IN largo supply Of oil for their lamps.
The company are in qnandary, for
they have invested mauy thousand
pounds in stock which does not yield
them penny vi dividend, which they
cannot remove without heavy loss, and
on which they nrc pnyiug iarge taxes.
The Middleton paper says cit would be
easier for the consumers to get along
without the company, than for the com
pany to get along without the con
sumers."

up to newspapers. II we give them any

The second meeting of the National
Agricultural Congress will be held a,
indianapolis, Indiana. commencing on
Wednesday, May "a. 1873. The neccs-
sary local arrangements for the occasion,
it is now understood. will be ample and
complete.
By the constitution of this body, each
State and Territory is entitled to two
representatives for every State organiza-
ton engaged in fostering agricultural
pursuits. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Agricultural schools
and colleges with an endowment of not
less than $4,000, and agricultural and
horticultural societies Of not less than
fifty members, contributing to the sup
port of this Congress, are entitled to one
representative each.
In urging the appointment and attend
ance of delegates as thus provided for,
very little needs to be said. The pur-
pose Of the organization is to afford On
opportunity annually for an interchange
of views and opinions upon all subjects
affecting agriculture and its kindred in
dustries, and to promote concert Of action
among those engaged in these pursuits,
in all matters relating to them and of
national importance.
The advantages to be derived from
such a medium, even in ordinary times
and under ordinary circumstances, are
quite apparent, and now that the public
mind is thoroughly aroused to the neces-
sity of considering with the greatest de-
liberation many questions touching the
industrial interests of this country, there
is good reason to expect very full rep
resentation. No similar body has ever
assembled in the United States upon
whose action rested more serious re-
sponsibility than will rest up the action
Of this. in many important respects Z
hope it will be the pleasure, as il certain
ly is the duty, of every organization en-
titled to participate to avail itself Of the
privilege. The constituent bodies which
have appointed or may hereafter appoint
representatives will please notify the
Secretary, Charles W. Greene. jackson.
Tennessee. who will in due time advise
them Of the subjects to be presented for
consideration at the meeting.
