bers of the national grange are eligible af-
ter years service. This degree has charge
of the secret work of the order, and is the
tribunal for trying impeachments.
The gentle reader will already have no.
ticod that the "Patrons" are as free from
prejudice of sex as Miss Anthony herself
could desire. One of the head -conters Is
quoted as saying: "Suffrage for women
Is coming; we have the certain means of
knowing that which even the press cannot
find out. We have taken broad stride in
the worlds progress we have given wo-
man her true place. We not only make
her eligible 10 our highest Office, but we
have three places which only woman can
fill. You may call it the poetry of our or
der, but 1t is a part of tho foundation as
well as principle, for no person can be-
como member until they have been con-
secrated and blessed by her hands," This
ceremony of conservation and blessing is
SO original that we make no apology for
reproducing "Olivia's" account Of 1t uerba-
tim. Indeed, 1t would he treating our sub
scribers very shabbly 10 abridge a sylla-
BILE. ION remote PLATFORM" she says,
"in the hall where the meeting is held,
may be seen the three women whose charm
ing hands consecrate the new asprant.
The first is Flora, named from mythology.
Her brow is bound with flowers, and, if
the proper season is at hand, they trail in
garlands from her garments, which are as
fieecy as the clouds. From the profusion
before her she selects a specimen and pre-
sents 1t to the new accession. To tho nno-
cent young girl she Presents a lily. To the
juiceless old bachelor sprig of rue. The
woman who represents Ceres is usually a
matron. Her ripe forehead is surmounted
with crown OF straw, which is dotted
with golden grain. She bestows upon the
candidate handful of her treasures, or,
perhaps an ear Of corn, after her part of the
ceremony is over. Last, but not least,
comes Pomona, symbolic of the riches of
harvest and autumn. A glorious woman
she should be. When the candidate has
passed her hands nothing more can be
done for him. He is a full-fedged Patron
of Hus bandry." We should add that, af-
ter these imposing ceremonies are over,
and the business is all transacted, the grange
resolves itself into a committee of tho
whole on having good time-in warm
weather, usually adjourning 10 outdoors.
Does this seem like child's play? The
middle-men grain speculators, etc., haven't
found it so; it is estimated that the farm
ers of Iowa alone have already saved $780,
600 by buying their machines directly from
the manufacturers through the grange.
The railroad people, too, and the politicians
have their own opinion on the subject. A
society that is rapidly extending over the
Union; that took in HOS new local organi-
cations, last year that now claims to be
receiving members at the rate of from 300
to 500 day, can indulge, if it chooses, in
very singular, and even puerile ceremonies
without forfeiting its claim to respectful
consideration.

CHIEF JUsTICB CH.sSR'S B.sRLI'
D.HX'S.

Mrs. Stowe in her readable sketch of the
deceased Chief Justice, contained in her
book "Men of Our Times" published a
few years ago, gives the following interest
ing incidents Of his early years:
"In regard to Chase's early education, we
have not many traditions. His parents
were of the best class of New Hampshire
farmers; Biblo-readng, thoughtful, shrewd,
closely aud wisely economical. 1t is said
that in that region literary material was so
scarce that the boys first writing lessons
were taken on strips of birch bark.
When his father died there was found TO
be little property for the support of the fam
lily, and only the small separate estate of his
mother was LEFT. She was of Scotch blood
that blood which was at once shrewd, plous,
courageous and energetic, and was compe-
tent 10 make little serve the uses of
great deal.
But an education, and a College educa-
ton is the goal toward which such moth
ers in New England set their faces as

ODD birds.

Tho Brush Turkey OF Australia makes
pile of eggs, and then covers them with
pyramid of earth and twigs, and so on.
The sun heats the pyramid, and so the eggs
got hatnhed. The cock watches the mound,
just as a gardener looks after his hot-beds,
uncovering and covering up the eggs ac-
cording to the temperature. When the
young ones come out of the shell, they are
kept covered up for day to let their feath-
ers grow. On the second day they begin to
take their walks abroad, but soon go home,
and are tucked in again by papa. On the
third day they can fly as well as he can.
The Blue Crane, with black beard and
a red hood, is shy enough when wild, and
yet can be tanned most easily. 1t stalks af-
ter its master or mistress like footman,
and looks over the garden-gate with great
interest at all passers-by, just like an old
gentleman retired from business. When
sportsman levels his gun at the Australian
Crake, it flies off crying, "cheap-cheap-
cheap" as If il wanted to save itself by de-
preciating ITSELF The Superb Warbler is
blue and black wren. He gathers his wife
and children about him an i sings hymns
to them whilst they nod applause. Wild
Geese are very funny birds. They march
through field like so many policemen,
only the geese are stealing. One of them
marches with his head up like a sergeant.
He is the look -out goose, or rather gander.
When he thinks he has been on duty long
enough, he puts down his long neck and
gives the goose whose turn il is TO come on
next sharp pinch behind with his bill.
Plovers and Peewits are SLY little rogIes.
If they think you are getting too near their
nests. they will pretend that their wings
are broken, and lead you nice chase the
wrong way. The Elder Duck teaches her
young to swim in this way: she carries
them out into the water on her back, and
then dives from under them. Penguins
look very much like Dutch burgomasters.
l remember one in the yard of the London
Inn, Capo Town, that used suddenly and
solemnly TO burst out braying like dom
key. In their native wilds II is their GUS
tom, after supper, to bray an evening cho-
rus. l have read of a tame Penguin that
used to stand by his masters chair like a
servant at meals, and sleep under his bed
at night. Whom this Penguin wanted
bath, 1t used to go into the kitchen and or
der one by tapping his bcak against jug.
Little birds all hate the Cuckoos, and mob
them in what tho London boys call the
'small gang" style. suppose the reason is
that Mrs. Cuckoo, too lazy to build a most
of her own, goes about laying an egg here,
and an egg there, in other binds nests; and
then when the young Cuckoos have grown
strong enough they tumble all their foster
brothers and sisters out; and yet the foster
parents-aren't they odd birdsH-go on
feeding the young Cuckoos for weeks after
they leave the nest. The American Mock
ing Thrush is another saucy bird. It can
i'm itate the voices of all kinds of birds, and
is very fond of getting little birds together
by talking TO them like mother, and thon
sending them scamperlng by screaming
like an eagle. Things.

THE P.lTRO.vS OF HUSB.sTDRX'.

The papers have contained such frequent
illusions OF late to this new order that
readers, both on the farms and in the cities,
are growing curious about it. They want
to know what it is, and what it is for, and
how much there is of it. Thanks TO "Olivia"
of the Philadelphia Press, we are now able
to crafty in some measure this very reason
able and laudable curiosity.
Some years ago-date not accurately ix-
ed by "Olivia"-an immensely wealthy
Philadelphia departed this life, leaving
all his property, real and personal, to an
only son. The young gentleman was &C.
centric; instead of becoming a spendthrlft,
he became chemist. In the course of
time he became possessed with the idea
that he had a mission that it was his duty
TO go among the western farmers and ex-
pound to them the saving truths of agri-
cultural chemistry. Full of this benevo-
lent project he wont to Mr.. William Saun-
ders, now of the agricultural bureau at
Washington but at that time editing hor-
ticultural paper, for advice rs to the map
ping out of his lecturing tour and the best
Saunders told him at once that the thing
could not be done; the farmers were too
isolated he would save himself dsap-
pointment and modification by staying at
home.
Whether the advice was taken, history
alias "Olivia'-does not mention. Most
likely not. But the visit set Mr.. Saunders
Thinking Othar INF iarostS yyara Croauizad
they had the strength born of union; why
should not the farming interests follow
suit? Mr.. S. revolved these thoughts in
his mind, talked to his friends, worked
them out on paper, and in the winter of '67,
at his own office in Washington, founded
the order which is now making such a stir
in the world.
The organization of this order, as de-
scribed to "Olivia," is rather complex. At
the base is the subordinate, local, or neigh
borhood grange; above this the state grange;
at the apex, the national grange, of which
Mr.. Saunders tells her that its chief duties
are "to collect and disseminate information
for the benefit of the whole order, to place
state oranges in cooperative communica-
tion, and advise subordinate oranges with
reference TO matters of special interest" In
the subordinate grange, there are four 'de-
grees'-"laborer or maid," according TO
sex), "cultivator or shepherdess," "har-
vester or CLEANER" and "husbandman or
matron." The fifth degree" Pomona,
hope" Is obtained on entering the state
grange, which is composed of the masters
OF subordinate oranges, and such masters
wives as are "matrons." The hesixth-"Flora,
charity'-is obtained on entering the ma
tional grange, which is composed of the
masters of state oranges, and such of their
wives as have taken the previous degree.
