oceaking of the Grange ticket
~ y r,or,nack has this to say:


.orhe ticket is a good one, and in
nninion the best interests Of the
o UNITY will not suffer if it shall be
'.Ia.ted. 1t represents the free and
',a,armined will Of the people to
.rork reform in politics, and we
s.ol sure that no Democrat who has
.,ood by his flag for the last ten years
=, the presence OF certain and cOntin-
20, defeat. with the same object in
r;ew as declared by Saturdays Con-
rention, will now fail to take advan-
,sve of the situation, and assist in
IN carrying to victory principles for
,rbich we have so earnestly battled.
We await the action Of the Demo-
c,atic Convention but feel safe in
,.redic.ing that its wisdom will die
;ate course OF action that will bring
a.feat to the common enemy of
tho best interests of the country and
the Democratic party"
From this we should infer that the
orange ticket is his choice, and that
he awaits the action of the Demo-
cratic convention, with thehope that
through the wisdom" of his dicta-
tion it may ratify the nominations
the Grange Convention has made.
He has no fears that the best inter-
ests of the county would suffer should
this ticket be elected, but should it
not be, he fears, although he does not
cav so, his own financial interests
might. He declares that 1t repre-
spnts the free and determined will OF
the people to work reform in poll
tics. Mccormack has reformed, but
his party not being so eager as he, to
sacrifice what they call party princi-
ples for this would-be leaders, own
financial interest, makes him unhap-
nv. Again this veteran political
warrior feels sure that no Democrat
who has stood by his flag for the last
ten years, in the presence OF certain
and continual defeat, will now fail to
assist in carrying to victory princi'
ples for which they have SO earnestly
battled If the Democratic party has
any principles for which they have
been earnestly battling, we should
expect to find them in their plat
form. We have looked in VAIN

The DrOugll' at the East.
The Boston Journal Of Chemistry
for August SAYS upon this subject:


at is seldom drought so severe
is felt in this section in June and
July as has been experienced this
season. Our hills are bare and
brown our brooks have dried up,
and springs cease to bubble from the
earth our herds Of cattle find scanty
heritage in the fields, and corn
brought from the prairies OF the
West is fed to them freely over a
large part of New England. Our
hay crop will be scanty one, but
corn, which withstands drought re-
markedly, does not yet seem to suf-
fer seriously. All the different vari-
cites Of fruits have been injured by
the absence of rain, but still there is
much to be thankful for. We shall
have enough of the products OF
mother earth, so that when the time
honored festival Of Thanksgiving
Day" comes round in November, we
shall not pass it by and refuse to OBJ
serveit. -

Tn reference to "Granges and Poll

In reference TO Oranges and Poll
tics,n the Davenport Goaette says:
The efforts OF politicians TO induce
the Patrons Of Husbandry to embark
in political ventures seem generally
to meet with deserved failure in diff
ferent parts Of the State. The Grang-
es were originally instituted for a
different and better purpose than
that Of becoming the plant machln-
cry OF demagoguism, and we are
satisfied that political movements
which seek to engraft themselves
upon the order will be repudiated by
the majority of Changers every
where. The Changers have too
much honor and good sense to allow
their order to be used to forward the
schemes and personal ambition of
corrupt, selfish and unsuccessful
wire-pullers and demagogues, who
have adopted these tactics because
their various projects heretofore to
defeat the Republican nomination
have signally failed.

An honest old Pennsylvania farmer had a

but being weak in the back, and having a
dull axe, he hit upon the following plan

was ready, he informed his neighbors that

The New .PosTAaE LAw.-On the 3Oth
Of next June, the espresent postal law expires
and the new one adopted BY hesiast
Congress comes into force. This requires
postage paid on everything sent through the
mails, including newspaper exchanges, or
newspapers in the County or parish in which
they. are printed This must causesome
new arrangements about exchanges. Il is
impossible for daily papers to pay postage to
any extent on their exchange list sent out
from their Office, and it will result in
severe pruning Of all 'superanous papers.
There are several daily journals from centres
of intelligence that must exchange with each
other, while there are others which, although
desirable, are not useful; while there remain
large list which are rarely used. We
believe that the next Congress will be forced,
by the public opinion, to modify this portion
of the new postal laws. The local County
papers are no mean power in the land, and
this compulsory postage law is unjust to
them and unfair to the interests of their SUBJ
scribers. IF the whole postage bill Of the
United States press was paid by the depart
ment, it would not approach the 1.-THE Of the

Inbecile Ornament in Dress.

I Probably nothing that is not useful is in
any high sense beautiful. At least it will
he almost universally seen in the matter of
dress that where an effect is bad it is an
artificial or false effect, aud rice rersn. A
| trim ming that has no raisOn d'etre is gener-
ally nngraceful. A pendent jewel simply
sewed to foundation where it neither
holds up nor clasps together any part OF
the dress, usually looks superfluous, as II
is. Above all, bows (Which are literally
nothing but strings tied together) stuck
about when there is no possibility of their
fastening two parts, almost always appear
ridiculous when needed for IA mere orna-
ment, rosette should be used, which pre-
tends to he nothing else.
In the making Of dresses, lines ending
nowhere and nohow, are often apparent
and never fail to annoy the eye. The out
lines OF bonnets are conspicuous instances
OF the mistake. There is no art instinct,

hollow, forgets that the forms lie borrows

Mr. Evarts closed his remarks ut the Tyndall

nappy bit: An eminent German physician,
In preface to learned work, has asserted, in
entire good faith, that diseases and all the &C

the medical profession were all not evils, and
not IN themselves objects which required care;
but that the whole intent and purpose of the
divine arrangement in the permitting of dis
ease and these msfortunes was the training of
idea! Applied to the learned profession of the
clergy, it at once accounts for the existence of
moral evil, that this final good of the produc-

How DOC WAS "SoLD"-Here is 4
true dog story: A family down town hav-
ing n false CRATE in one of the rooms of the
house placed some red paper behind it to
give the effect of fire. One of the coolest
days this winter the dog belonging to the
household came in from out of doors, and
seeing the paper in the CRATE deliberately
walked up to it and laid down before it,
curled up in the best way to receive the
glowing heat as it came from the fire. He
remained mOtionless for few minutes /;
feeling no warmth he raised his head and
looked over his shoulder at the CRATE :;
still feeling no heat he arose and carefully
applied his nose to the crate and smelt of
it. 1t was cold as ice. With a look of
the most supreme disgust, his tail curled
down between his legs, every hair on his
body saying "rm Sold" the dog trotted
out of the room, not even deiguing to
cast a look at the party in the loom who
Ind watched his actions and laughed SO
heartily at his misfortunes. That dog
had reason as well rs Unsatisfactory

The bright kerchief that covers the peas

The outer dress that really covers an un-
der. dress fully and fairly is SO much more
satisfactory than one which only pretends
to do 80, and betrays its own deceit at the
elbows or the wrists, OF behind, or in some
other unexpected place. Any thing that
looks useful and is artificial lie bad, and the
more obviously artificial thing is, the
worse it must always be. A hood that is
at once seen to be incapable of going over
the head; something that looks like tu-
mic In one place. yet in another is seen to
have no lawful habitation, nor a name; a
false apron, o festoon that looks as though

irrelevant pins could it stay there; veil

to descend over the face, but is tackled to

manner; heavy lappets, that, instead Of

thing else, hang meaningless and mutilat-

instead of breaking through it; and other
things of the same kind-they leave the eye
