A St. Paul (Minn.) special of the 18th says
Grand Master Parsons, head of the Patrons of
the State had called upon the Oranges which
had selected delegates to the Owatonna
and other political conventions to withdraw
their appointments. He claims that the
Oranges are prohibited by the rules of the
Order from engaging in politics, but indi-
vidual Patrons, county councils, and farmers
meetings may act as they please. The plan
proposed in Dakota, and being adopted in
other counties, is for the Oranges to call
pubic town meetings to select delegates,
with which plan Mr., Parsons protest does not
conflict.

False Quotations.

A writer in the Vineland On. j. Adver-
tiser says:
1t is surprising there should be any
doubt as to the correctness of the word
manner, often misquoted manor, from
Shakespeare's Hamlet" manor would be
tautolOgy and nonsense; ride Hamlet,
Act 1, Scene 4
Horatio-"What does this mean, my
Lord ?"
Hamlet-"The King doth wake to-
night" etc.
Hor -"Is it custom?"
Ham.-Ay! marry, is't. But to my
mind-though | am native here, and to
the manner born, it is custom more hon
ored in the breach than the observance.
The word manner is used and prop
erly so, by Shakespeare as a custom, and is
no way relating to an estate or district, or
IN reference to manor or immortal
rights, as in England, which is unknown
in Denmark vide, definition of manner
in Worcester's Unabridged Dictionary, and
Mrs. Cowden Clarks Concordance of
Shakespeare.
The following correct quotations are
also frequently incorrectly written and
spoken:
''In the sweat of thy face, mot brow
shalt thou eat bread "-Genesis, 3, 10.
'When Greeks joined Greeks, then acas
the tug of war."-Nat Lees Alexander,
Act 4, Scene 2.
The abominable quotation, usually
made and often given on the stage, when
Greeks met Greeks, then came the tug of
war; misleads the reader, and is opposed
to the truth, for unlike some nations, the
Greeks fought not against each other, but
against the tyrants, Darius, XerXes, and
the common enemy.
Numerous Interpretations are printed
daily, for, like the bell-wether sheep, lead
ing the flock, writers and speakers care
lessly follow each other rather than trou-
BILE themselves to consult the text, and the
old proverb applies, lone fool makes
many"
The uniformed say, ooh I know it is
true, for | read it in print" | lately pc
rused a Philadelphia weekly publication
of considerable circulation, and nine of ten
quotations were incorrect.
The lines in Buffers "Hudibras' are
invariably written and spoken wrongly
e: "a man convinced against his will, SC"
whereas the text is, ''he who complies
against his will, &c" The first is sheer
nonsense, for if congsnced, his opinion
would not be the same.
''ris true; it's true, it's pity; and pity
It's, it's true''
God tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb"
This proverb is generally, but erro
neously, supposed to be from the Holy
Scriptures 1t is from Lawrence Sterne's
Sentimental journey" vide Maria" and
is French proverb, published in 1894,
as follows: "Dieu mesure lie froid la bre-
bis ton due" The translation being
"God measures the wind to the shorn
Sheep" Sterne has not improved on the
proverb, for lambs are rarely shorn. The
proverb is somewhat different by another
French writer, viz: "To a close shorn
sheep, God gives wind by measure"

who received permits to sell liquors in the

the State Department by his statements in re-

highest praise of the Commission appointed
by the President, with jackson Schultz as

of the present management are well
calculated to cause the past Irregularities to

the American Commission, and to encourage
the hope that the art and industry of Europe
may be fairly represented at our own Centen-
NAL in 1876.
