LOOK OUT, CHICKEN THIEVES "A resi-
dent of Frostburg set an ugly trap for Wis
itors to his chicken-house Tuesday night
1t was a loaded gun so attached to the door
and adjusted that opening would discharge
the load right into the pirate. Late in the
night the neighborhood heard an explosion
at that chicken-house. On going out it was
found no thief had been perforated, but the
door had moonlight put through it at exact
ly the appointed spot, but for the forager the
aim evidently miscarried. The next time,
We are authorized to assert, the arrange

every foot of the entrance, with some emf
lading provisions thrown in as extra, to
sextuplc the explosion and the chances for
hitting the marauder

LARGE RATTLEsNAKE.-On Friday oflast
week Mr. 1T. Dewitt, of Frostburg, accom-
panied by Mr.. John Lowndcsbcrry, While
hunting on Savage mountain, had his attcn-
ton called by the latter, who was follow
ing, TO huge rattlesnake he (Mr. Dew
had just stepped over. The snake was in
striking attitude, but made no dcmmonstra-
tion-a fortunate circumstance for Mr.. De-
witt. This gentleman, upon observing his
narrow escape, at once put q load of shot
where it would, for the time being, do the
most good, completely scvcring the head of
the reptile. The body was found to be
several feet long and about nine inches in
circumference. An examination of the
mouth disclosed fangs nearly half an inch
in length.

promises. They have under their control
nearly all the leading presses Of the State,
have spies in every camp, are followed by
regiments Of postmasters and contractors
and are plethoric with plunder snatched
from the public treasury.
We express ourselves freely on this mat
ter for the reason that we heartily abomin-
ate this infamous system of fpolitical cor
rupt'on. 1t goes upon the theory that the
whole farming community is made up
either OF such plastic or base material that
it can be moulded into any form by sophis-
y or bribery. When will the farmers of
Minnesota arouse themselves as has been
done down in Indiana and Illinois and
come forward as one man, and with voice
of thunder explode the Vaccinations of all
these pestiferous demagogues? To talk
reform is idle; to perfect reform if done at
all must be executed by the farmers them
selves.

SAD SToRY.-The be autiful woman who
insnared the nephew Of the Emperor of
Russia, mere lad, is an American She
was the daughter Of clergyman eminent
for learning and piety. She grew up an
exceptional beauty, was carefully. educated
and tcnderly loved. She married, was
divorced more than once. forcing each hus-
band into court to recover alimony. On
the money thus obtained she went to Eu-
rope and led wild and criminal life
fell in with the youthful branch Of the
Royal house Of Russia, tempted him to
steal for her the family diamonds, which
crime has proved his ruin, then she fed to
Paris, where she now is. This is all she
has left as the wages Of sinful life. From
a home where she was tenderly loved she
has wandered through crime to the 10 "
dens of Paris. Nothing more tr',e than
"the wages Of sin is DEATH" Some nigh,
her COZ pse will be thrown into the open pit
at Pere La Chaise, and that will close he,

than Rome As Rome is worse than the New
Jerusalem. Il needs converting all
through, from Colvin to Western avenue.
It cannot afford to send off dollar for the
purpose of converting foreign sinners.
more especially sinners in and about Rome.
It is just barely possible that these Cath
olic gentlemen may manage to squeeze
through, when the gates are finally open
ed to admit the elect. They have bible
Of their own; they have churches and
ghostly advisers, who lay claims to piety
and learning. There is bare possibility,
therefore, that the money expended to
convert these Romanists may be money
thrown away 1fthey don't get to heaven,
1t will be because they have failed to try
in their limited way. Hence, as an econo-
mical measure, the Times objects to try
ing to convert Catholics in Rome so long
as we have Bridgeport and the North side
to convert the Pope so long as we have
Colvin-at least to trying to do it with
Chicago money. There is no good reason
why conversion, like charity, should not
begin at home.
So far as our personal experience goes,
we are prepared to cenfrm the above as:
good advice.
The Grange advance., 1874-06-24
From Chicago Times.

AMONG those clerical gentlemen who fav-
ored Chicago, on Sunday, with their views
of the salvation question, was a reverend
speaker who gave an account of his effort
to convert the Italians. He did not favor
his hearers with any statistics as to the
number Of Italian souls that have been
converted but he did state how much
money had been expended. Not only this
but he gave the further important infol-
nation that the effort to convert the 1tal-
ians is now in straitened condition for
lack Of money, and that it must have
more, or the work must stop.
It is curious feature Of the compost
ton Of sects, that they will give more for
one proselyte than they will for a convert
of any other kind. A Protestant will ex-
pend more money and effort to convert one
Catholic, or Jew, to Professionalism, than ne
would to convert ten common sinners In
the same direction. Chicago, for instance,
is choke-full of commonplace sinners,
who mur''er, rob, deal three card monte,
run keno-dens, manipulate people par'ies:
and commit develtries of all kinds and
yet there is very little organized effort
made to convert them. Almost any Or
thodox church in this city would con-
tribute $500 to convert some Catholic or
gangrinder in Rome, while it would be
verY 10th to advance 10 cents to convert q
sinner of home manufacture and residence.
We have here one Of the most iniquitous
cities on the continent. It as much worse

From FARMERS UNIoN.-"Mr. Donnel-
ly ought to be invited to seat outside the
Order, and that Immediately, for violation
of his obligation"
Why not have done with this ridiculous
clamor? Beside being undignifed and
furiously malicious, it is scandal upon
the Order of Patrons. If Mr.. Donnelly has
violated any of the rules of his Grange let
him be cited to appear and answer before
his superiors, and if, after trial, found
guilty, be expelled. If the editor OF the
Union or any other public brawler has
specific charges to make against the ac-
cused, let him make them in private and
becoming manner before the proper tri-
bunal. and not call apon the entire State
to sit in judgment upon a private member
of secret organization.
TO animadvert upon Mr.. Donnelly's po-
litical course is perfectly legitimate, but to
publicly clannor what his standing is or
should be before his Grange is not only in
decorous but irregular.
The Grange advance., 1874-06-24

P1oNEER.-Of late, whenever we see any,
thing in the Pioneer in accord with the
spirit Of the real political revolution now
going forward, we hail it with pleasure as
An evidence that the scholar is doing credit
TO its teacher. Elsewhere will be found
an article taken from that paper of the 18th
inst. which is as sound good doctrine as the
original text repeatedly promulgated
through the GRANGE ADVANCE. Every
body on..the streets proclaims that the Pio-
neer is spy in our camp; that it is play
ing "good Indian " only to secure our con-
fdence, and throw us off our guard, to be-
tray us at the moment We shall most need
it's assistance. But We answer if bad wo-
man wants to reform let her reform, and
don't discourage her first efforts with un-
necessary suspicious. "Suficient for the
day is the evil Tor good) thereof.''
The Grange advance., 1874-06-24

The Minneapolis Tribune has discovered
that the GRANGE ADVANCE is Donnelly
organ. The Waseca News long since
proved it to be Democratic. Gentlemen, if
you would follow the excellent example of
the Pioneer and come out Of the dirty parti-
san slough through which you have been
wallowing, wash the filth from your bodies,
embrace the doctrine promulgated and ad-
voeated by the GRANGE ADVANCE, editorial
duties would be honorable, digniied and
truthful, with no necessity for striving to
exc out precocious living by duplicity
and Misrepresentation.
The Grange advance., 1874-06-24

The editor of the Waseca News is still in
q feverish, nervous state Of mind, caused
by few trifing paragraphs which appeared
in the GRANGE ADVANCE. One was, that
the editor when a legislator last winter in
sisted upon his constituents not only pay
ing their delinquent taxes with all the
incidental charges, but an additional
IL per cent. As a trusted representative Of
the interest Of the people he had right to
manifest his sympathy for the poor and
necessitous in his own way and should not
censare us for publishing an act Of which
he has proudly boasted.
The Grange advance., 1874-06-24
TnE editor Of the Waseca News is so

TnE editor Of the Waseca News is so
splenetic and soured in temper that he can
not even enjoy joke. When speaking of
tax matters he said the common people
paid their taxes" For this little freak Of
Aatulency the GRANGE ADVANCE poked fun
at him, modified with little ridicule. In
stead Of laughing at the matter the editor
goes off g on his ear" and has been berat-
ing us and explaining to the people for the
last three weeks. Herewith we give him
glory and renown are somewhere in the
future for that genius.

RA1LRoAps.-The tax which the differ
ent railroads will pay into the State treasu-
ry this year will in the aggregate amount
to about $1so,000. Railroads are, after all,
an mixed evil. Firmness, tempered
with justice on the part of the people, will
soon force satisfactory settlement Of this
vexed question, and the sooner it is set
tied the better for all concerned. A rail-
road worked on fair business principles is
a blessing to community, but if it mas
power to control and tx the market rates
Of produce, the blessing is converted into
curse.

CuRRENC1.-There is no probability
that the President will consent to any
further increase of the volume of currency.
He appears to have discovered that infla-
ton adds to the ill-gotten gains Of specu-
lators, and adventures, and impoverishes
the industrial classes. He also advises
Congress to 60 home, cool off; consult the
people, and not be in hurry to increase
the national indebtedness.
The Grange advance., 1874-06-24

MEMoRAHDUM.-T The President has no
disposition to let Senator Ives carry off tie
credit Of the Memorandum on the currency
question. The President says he wrote it
himself, in the evening, after hard days
work to show mel. bers Of Congress who
were persistently questioning him upon the
subject. We may be in error, but cannot
help thinking it is the most sensible thing
he has done during his administration.

The STATE UNIVERSITY will shortly send
out circular protesting to consult farmers
about course of lectures to be given next
winter on agriculture. The farmers had
much better reclaim the lands donated by
Congress for an Agricultural College and
Experimental Farm than trife with these
classical schoolmasters What supreme
burlesque, to talk Of teaching farming in
winter lecture-room! The design Congress
had in view was excellent, and if the
scheme had been carried out in good faith
farmers would ere this have had an agri-
cultural school of their own, similar to
those which have proved so highly bene >
fetal in other states and countries. But in
this, as in all other public matters, the
farmer was the subject of plunder. Some
gentlemen engaged to represent this agri-
cultural business, resigned in disgust, un-
willing to lend tl-eir names to support the
farce. From the sale Of lands this fund
has been accumulating for years, and now
the very class Of people to whom the land
grant was given for school and farm must
receive it as q favor if their boys are
permitted to listen to a few winter dis
courses On matters and things in general.
Bah! When will sham and cant and false
pretences come to an end?
As a classical school, the University may
be good enough and can be made an hdhor
to the state, but to do so it must rise SUPER
ior to clap'trap. Let the University en-
joy its own revenues and give back the
agricultural land:grant for farmers school
organized on true agricultural basis.
