Patrons Of Husbandry.

Concerning membership, articles Y and
VI Of the constitution of the National
Grange read as follows:
amy person interested in agricultural
pursuits, OF the age of sixteen female
and eighteen years male duly proposed
elected and complying with the rules and
regulations of the order, Is entitled to
membership and the benefit of the degree
taken. Every application must be ac-
companied by the Tee Of membership. II
rejected, the money will be refunded
Applications must be certified by mem
bers and balloted for at subsequent
meeting. 1t shall require three negative
votes to reject an applicant"
The minimum fec for membership il
a subordinate Grange shall be for mer
five dollars, and for women two dollars
for the four degrees, except charter mem
bers, who shall pay-men three dollars
and women flfty cents"
Now, says one, why those five dollars
what will be done with the money? /
not a hall needed for place of meeting
and chairs, stove, desks and other flrni
ture, for the accommodation of members
And if a schoolhouse be chosen for tn
rendezvous" there is yet required ex
penses of Grange seal, record books, ac
count books, blanks, stamps &c. for til
archives, reports, communications and in
tercourse of Grange, besides the regalias
not mentioning Jewels And is it no
necessary to have Grange fnnd?
But, pray, do you hear of any objection
to the initiation fee of the Masonic an
Odd Fellowship orders? Those order
claim fee Of from 90 to 80 dollars fo
initiation and comforting of degrees; th
Order of 2. of II. claims but fee of $;
for men, and So, for women tor the con
ferring of four degrees. Would yo
hear of such an objection if the orde
should claim masonic-lik fee. Is nc
rather the objection made because of til
minuteness of the sum asked?
Dues are 10 cents a month, but eac
Grange may otherwise regulate its ow
dues.

DEAR REPUBLICAN:
Since my visit with you some Gays
since, have done business at Bourbon,
Etra Green, !nwood, South Bend (lnd.) J.
and Niles and Dowagiac, Mich l found
business in general very prosperous, es-
pecially su at South Bend, where | had
time to look through some of the great
mahutactories-the South Bend Iron
Works, .the Birdsell works, 'Beeches,' and
last the "Hoosier Croquet" Manufactory
by Teel & Slick. These gentlemen have
a wide spread reputation for making the
best sets of croquet in the country So
great is their reputation that they have
orders for over two thousand sets per
annum. They will soon introduce them
in Plymouth they say. We have one OF
their sets which we have used four sea-
sons, they are now the best set in Laporte.
The Birdsell boys are shipping many car
loads of Glover Hullers, and all in all
South Bend is the graden City of our
beautiful State.
I succeeded in recovering the goods OF
which l vas speaking to you. Found
them far up in the north woods of Mich.
Beautiful country up Therefor
Whortleberries.' They ship car loads
ofthem, pay II to IA cents per quart.
z. L Barnum, that Prince of showmen
will visit this city on Monday August
25th, with his entire Travelling World
Fair" Let all come up from your city
and see and hear the "4dllsing Machine ;
have seen his show several times this
season and can say that it takes one
about two hours to walk "apast" all his
curiosities. His is now the best show ex
hibited on this side of the broad Atlantic
Come up Mr.. Millikan and bring youl

"The American Colony of Iren-
OpOlis."

This is colony chiefly from Wiscor-
sin, led by Rev. W. Cochran, of Baraboo :
The name, "Irenopolis," which is Greek
for City of Peace" was chosen because
one main object of the colonists is to live
in mutual peace. The fourth article III
their constitution reads thus: "Fhe mem
bers OF this colony hereby pledge their
word and honor that they will use slf
their influence. moral and legal, including
their votes, to exclude the sale and use Of
intoxicating drinks from the colony :: en-
deavor by doing to others as we would
they should do to us, ever to promote the
prosperity OF the colony, regarding the
rights and interests of others as well as
our own, especially in sickness. and there
by render ourselves worthy, not only of
the name, American, but also of the
name, Irenopolis, the City of Peace"
The site of this colony was fixed at
Beaver Crossing, Seward county, Neb,
about the first of June, 1873. Six famil-
res, coming all the way from Wisconsin
in their prairie schooners," are on the
ground and have already commenced
Improvements with vigor Indicating
their purpose to claim the toe1aty per ce,a5
deduction offered by the Burlington ant,a
Missouri River railroad to all purchasers
in 1878, who, within two years, bring hall
their land under cultivation. By secur-
ing this reduction, they will nigh pay for
their "breaking." The colonists have
already purchased 1880 acres, and it is
confidently believed that double the pres
ent number of families will soon report
themselves. The entire freedom of this
colony from all smell of ecclesiasticism
will make it a favorite witlpall who are
more ready to plant themselves ON the
broad principles of temperance and NOR
ality than they are to tie themselves to a
particular creed. The old citizens of
Beaver Crossing welcomed them with.
open arms. and have made generous con-
tributions in land toward the establish
ment of first class school. The only
saloon in town closed its doors the first
Sabbath the colonists spent there, and
will no more be opened on the Lords
Day Baraboo has long been credit to-
Wisconsin; may Nebraska have as good
reason to rejoice in Irenopolis,

What I Know About Trimming

Since the days of grandmothers, there has
never been such rage for trimmings upon ladies'
dresses and suits this year; and the most popr-
lar is the so called French fold, made from bias,
material, put upon the dress in variety of styles
To trim dresses at the present day without the yar
ous Sewing Machine attachments would be an i'm
possibility.
A young man in Chicago has just invented an
Improvement for all Sewing Machines, with which
to put the fold fast and easily as an ordi-
nary hem can be made. The same implement is
also practical Binder and good Hemmer
1t is haing made and sold by tie Leslie Rufiier
Company, and is valuable addition to the Sewing
Machine. 1t is called Kom;ng's French Trimmer
and will be sold by all Sewing Machine Agents.

Geo. E. Pugh, always reliable and in
fuential Democratic politician, III Ohio;
now favors the nameless party of that
State. The nameless party claims to be
Democratic, and advises all Democrats
to abandon the old organization and join
the new. The uneasy Republicans
among them, claim that it is party of
reform, and that that is the principle at
the root of the Republican party, and'
therefore it is Republican.
The reasoning is all right, but the peo-
pie are such an Internal set of fools they
will never find it out, and then they are
not willing to trust a.set offellows whose
prominent idea is that every body .s-dis

Cavalry, has been ordered to proceed to Camp
Bidwel with his troops and take command of
that post relieving Lieutenant Winters of the
First Cavalry who will join his troops in the

Agency in Oregon, has made application to
the military authorities at Fort klamath in
that State for a detachment of troops to be

erty. Whether he fears an outbreak of the
Klamath Indians OF raid of the Modocs on
the reservation is not stated.
The settlers al Goose Lake and in Surprise

siders the post unsafe as it is defeneeless.
There is at present great number of Piutes
in Surprise Valley.
General Wheaton, Post Commander at
Camp Warner, who was in command of the
troops in the first fight with the Modocs, has
been ordered to the front.

NATIONAL AGRIcuLTURAL CONGRESS- On the
oath of May, the second meeting of the Ma
tional Agricultural Congress viii be held at
Indianapolis Indiana. By the constitution
of this body each State and Territory is enti-
tied 10 two representatives for every State or
ganization-engaged in fostering agricultural
pursuits. The United States Department Of
Agriculture, agricultural schools and colleges
with an endowment Of less than $50 600 and
agricultural and horticultural societies of not
less than fifty members, contributing to the
support of this Congress, are entitled to one
representative each. As the meeting of this
Congress will be in the centre of the country
where the farmers movement, which is now
agitatiug the West, originated the proceedings
will doubtless be of highly interesting char
acter. Agriculturists are aroused in all parts
Of the country TO the Importance OF protecting
their rights from INVASION and if they unite
the victory is within their grasp.
