Mr.. DUDLEY w. ADAMS, Master Of
the National Grange, delivered Fourth Of
July Grafton at Ottumwa, in which he
foreshadowed a probable and useful inhu-
ence of the farmers oranges and associa-
tons that are springing into existence all
over the country. He devoted large por-
ton OF his address to the social and domes-
tic life Of farmers as class, and told them
that toll IS not necessarily glorious which
wears out body and soul in the drudgery Of
the farm without just return. He
blamed the farmers for making agriculture
so disagreeable as to drive all young men
of spirit and enterprise into other business.
He urged greater culture, the giving OF
more time to reading and study, and the
larger indulgence of healthful amusements.
The farmers would probably be just as
well off as they are now in worldly goods
if they would follow this advice, and would
certainly have better consolation in hard
times. The oranges are calculated to cul.
tivate this new spirit among the agrcultll,
raj community. h

New Allies Of woman Suffrage.

"There is one auxiliary of REFORM says
the Springfield Republican, (which, per-
haps, has hitherto failed to get proper
recognition and credit--the mixed" secret
society. Every Good Tcmplars' Lodge in
. the land is, whether consciously or uncon-
sciously doesn't matter, picket of Wo-
man Suffrage. 1t is constantly educating
young women in voting and being voted for,
while it accustoms young men to see these
novel proceedings with entire tranquility
of mind. The new farmers organization,
if it adheres to the ideas and justifies the
expectations of its founders, will do more
in the next five years to bring
in Woman Suffrage than all the
Woman Suffrage conventions that
could be held from now till The end of the
century. In the " Grange" we are told,
there is no discrimination against sex the
women vote and hold office on equal terms
with the men. Our farmers, as class,
are very conservative, but they are well
| stocked with common sense and homely,
practical logic. If they find this sex-equali-
ty work well in the " Grange" they will
presently be for trying it in the little, local
township elections, or at any rate will not
oppose any very determined resistance to
those who do want to try it. That point
carried, the day is won. Woman Suffrage
ceases from that moment to be bug-a-boo
and becomes matter-of-course fact, like
majority rule or jury trial.

THIS description Of political Conserva-
tives is copied by The Chicago Times as
applying to those political relics who per-
sst in thinking that the Democratic party
still survives: 'tThey are hulks rottening
on the slow waves, moored to the dismal
shores Of the past, unable to catch with
their rottening sails a single breath of that
good wind that veers toward the haven Of
reform, Haunting their old flags in the rot
ten air, on the rotten sea, and under the
brazen sky of party world" a

The Cuban insurgents are in great luck
having received on the 9TH instant cargo
of arms, powder and medicine from the
blockade runner ynginius, which success
fully eluded the vigilance Of the Spanish
war-vessel, landed her large and priceless
cargo, and reached Kingston, Jamaica, on
her return, last Wednesday. The expedi-
ton was under the command of General
Raphael 'Quesada, brother Of General
Manel Quesada.
The Virginius has had peculiar
history. Bought Of the United States
government in 1870, she sailed for Vene-
zuela in October of that year, and landed
an expedition in Cuba in June, 1871.
She got through the Spanish blockaders
safely and sailed for Aspinwall, where
she was repaired. In April, 1872, she
left that port, conveyed by one of our
steam corvettes, the Kansas, and followed
by the Spanish war vessel Pizarro-to
both OF which vessels she easily showed
her heels and sailed to Venezuela, where
she was blockaded by seven Spanish
men.of-war, at different times, the ex-
pense to Spain exceeding 100000 in gold,
yet on the 9TH of September the Virgin
ius, having got ready, quietly slipped out.
She was unsuccessfully chased by the Vas
co Nunez de Balboa and sailed to Maracai-
DO, Venezuela, and from there went to Gu
racoa.
| Her last success is a most cheering one to
the Cuban cause. In fact, it seems that
with the large accession of arms and ammu-
milton received by the Cubans from her
cargo they ought to double their active
force in the field and inaugurate offensive
operations. 1t looks very much as though
Cuban independence would have to be re-
cognized before the year is out. ava

Two jurors in Omaha, as soon as the
jury retired, proposed, instead Of bother
ing themselves about the case committed
to them, to while away the time by playing
poker, and had actually taken the pack Of
cards in hand for that purpose. The other
jurors, however, protesting, the players
desisted. We need not say that the jury
did not agree; but the fact Of the cards
coming to the knowledge of Judge Lake,
he had the pretty pair of jurors before him
and gave them moral lecture which they
will long remember.

PLATO, the sage, has had his birthday
celebrated in Germany, but not, it seems
to us, in the most appropriate manner.
There were no debates on immortality, no
metaphysical dispositions; there was moth

remembered the 2,302d anniversary Of
gentle Plato's entrance to the world and

The Japanese are just now copying the

above note, which the Japanese Emperor
has not yet copied, undoubtedly to the dis

they have those civilized appliances.

A GalIOwS Scene.

WILLIAMSBURG, Pa, Noy. Cat lao
O'Clock au attempt was made to hang Wade.
The block was knocked ont, but the rope was
too long, and he touched the ground with his
feet. While the arrangement we're being made
for the execution, Wade was very profane, and
told the jailor to hurry up, as he had an ap-
pointment to dine in hell with the devil at 3
o'clock. He said the only thing that troubled
him was whether the people he murdered were
in heaven or hell. When he first tell his feet
struck squarey on the ground, slightly choking
him. Ia this position he remained shouting,
"Oh, Lord, have mercy!' The rope then
came of his neck, AID his body fell heavily on
the ground. His body was carried upon the
scaffuld, and after a long delay in arranging the
rope the drop was again pulled. He fell this
time less than three feet. His frame was VIC
lently contorted, and he seemed to be strugg-
ing with the dread messenger. His pulse con-
tinued to beat for seven minutes. After hang
ing twen1y-seven minutes he was paced in the
cottiu and taken charge of by his friends Many
pieces of rope were cut off and carried away as
relics by the spectators
