we'll as the men? 1t may amount to as
much as the fencing question, and perhaps
more, who knows? How wonder if my

The Chicago Pension Agency.

How Lady assumes her dutte. as United
States Official, and answers the questions of
reporter like good little girl.
Mr.. David Blakely, formerly Secretary
of State OF Minnesota, lately resigned his
place as Pension Agent at Chicago, and
Miss Ada Sweet, having been appointed to
take his place, as was duly announced in
The GRANGE ADVANCE, has assumed the du-
ties Of her Office. Like other mortals who
are elevated to high positions in this age
Of daily newspapers her first encounter was
with live reporter. The interview seems
to have been sweet. The lady compliments
Mr.. Blakely, compliments his assist
ants, and compliments the manner
in which the books were kept, compli-
ments the condition in which she found the
office, compliments herself and compliments
the retiring of Mr.. Blakely, and her
self upon being so quickly ushered
upon the duties of the Office. Which is all
proper and right, seeing that Mr.. Blakely
was an efficient officer and that it was
through him that she obtained the appoint
ment. The live reporter was of course
mutually complimentary, and did not for
get to compliment his paper and closed the
street converse with the sage remark that
his paper never tells lie with it's little
hatchet, which would have had the advan-
tage Of novelty had it not been so we'll
known that newspapers always tell the
truth.

tain1y Of the decline Of wheat and advised
them to sell
Last Fall we took cons derable pains to
ascertain the facts with regard to the pros
poets, and for the information of our read
ers had translated and published an article
on the subject from leading paper, and
felt justified in advising our readers to hold
for higher prices, those who took our ad-
vice have no occasion to repent. We have
seen nothing yet that would make US give
any different advice now. There is one
fact that papers have lost sight of, who
have based their conclusions on the large
amounts now in store. and then figured up
on the usual amount as remaining in the
hands Of the farmers. The fact is, owiur
to our favorable winter that nearly every
bushel Of wheat that will be sold the pres.
ent season is now in store.
frelghts nave been reduced, money made
more plenty by an act Of Congress, and the
foreign demand is not met. Wheat is now
advancing instead of declining at Chicago.
and the supply is reported light at New
! York, and we can see no reason why man
who is able to do 80 should not hold h;a
wheat for the usual high markets of Nav
and June.

LET Is HAVE HARMONY.

What the oppressed Conserv; tives of our
State want is success, and it is within reach.
It is not for partisan triumph that they should
not contend, so much as reform, and relief
from misrnle, corruption, crushing ont bur.
dens, and agonizing curses. We want q res
toratlOn OF our constitutional freedom.
regret to learn that the Democrats Of st.
Landry send full delegation to the Railroad
Convention, while the White Leagues send
another.
No good can come of discussion of the
causes of this antagonism III the Convention
The general sentiment of the Convention will
be that the white man should rule in our
State, and beg leave to suggest that both
delegations should be admitted and equally
share ST. Landrys vote.
beg leave further to suggest, as have Of
ten done for the last two or three years, that,
as We have before US none of the old party is
sues, that we should not quarrel about or even
think OF old party names; but that We should
keep IN mind that the fight is between those
who stand on and those who 'tact outside Of
the Constitution in all this business" be
tween the people and those who are misgov-
erning them-between those who have some
thing to lose and a set of robbers and outlaws.
The only platform shibboleth and war cry we
needs ''Anti- Radicalism. This is all-compre-
hensive, and is susceptible Of no mistake or
misconstruction. Respectfully

"In His Name" and g For Christ's Sake,
were the passwords, seven hundred years ago
of the Waldenses, or followers Of Pierre
Waldo a pious merchant of Lyons, who, hav
ing passion for reading, happened upon az
an old parchment writing in Latin, which
proved to be the Four Gospels. Delighted
with the beautiful story here told, he copied il
for himself and translated it for his neighbors.
Resolving to live out the precepts therein
divided the proceeds among the poor, be
coming the founder Of little company called
the s'Poor Men of Lyons" Excomnunica-
ted for distributing the Scriptures among the
people, they were forced to hide among the
mountains, but they continued their work,
increasing in numbers, though pursued with
fire and the sword, the Inquisition originating
in the persecution Of the Walde,ses
In His Name" is a tenderly pathetic
story Of the home-life Of that eventtul period
the child-heroine being Felicie Waldo, the
little niece of the historic Pierre Waldo The
story is an exquisite conception, model of
grace and purity: the incidents such as may
well have TRANSFERRED in those days; the actors
all historic personages; the language well in
keeping with the scenes portrayed.

The Wonders Of a Hens Egg.

| The following interesting observations OF
the changes that occur from hour to hour dur
ing the incubation Of the hens egg are from
Sturm's Reflections
The hen has scarcely sat on her eggs twelve
hours before some lineaments of the head and
body Of the chicken appear. The heart may
be seen to beat at the end Of the second day
it has at that time somewhat tie form of a
horseshoe, but no blood yet appears. At the
end of two days two vessels Of blood are to be
distinguished. the pulsation Of which is vlsi-
BILE one Of these is the left ven!ricle, and the
other the root OF the great artery. At the
fiftieth hour one auri lie of the heart ap oears
resembling moose folded down upon itself
The beating of the heart is first observed in
the auricle, and afterward in the ventricle. At
the end Of seventy hours the wings are dis
tinguishable; and on the head two bubbles
are seen for the brain, one for the bill, and two
for the fore and hind part OF the head. To-
ward the end of the fourth day the two auri-
cles already visible draw nearer to the heart
than before The liver appears toward the
fifth day. At the end of eleven hours more
the lungs and stomach become visible; and
four hours afterwards the intestines, and loins,
and the upper jaw. At the one hundred and
forty fourth hour two ventricles are visible,
and two drops of blood instead of the single
one which was seen before The seventh day
the brain begins to have some consistency.
At the one hundred and nineteenth hour of
incubation the bill opens, and the flesh APP
pears in the breast.
In four hours more the breast bone is SEEN
In six hours after this, the ribs appear, form
ing from the back, and the bill is very visible,
as well as the gall bladder. The bill becomes
green at the end of two hundred and thirty
six hours; and if the chicken be taken out Of
its covering, it evidently moves itself At the
two hundred and sixty fourth hour, the eyes APP
pear It the two hundred and eighty eighth,
the ribs are perfect At three hundred and thir-
ty-6rst, the spleen draws near the stomach, and
the lungs to the chest. At the end of three
hundred and fifty live hours, the bill frequent
ly opens and shuts; and at the end Of the
eighteenth day, the first cry OF the chicken is
heard. 1t afterward gets more strength and
grows continually, till at length it is enabled
to set itself free from its confinement

~he Public.

! One Stoutmeyer, brother in-law Of Charles
Clinton, now nominally proprietor Of the New
Orleans Times, and editor in chief Of that jour-
nal formerly solicitor for the Auditor so-called)
has been guilty, in his capacity of Radical editor
Of a so-called Conservative Journal of serious.
gross and willful falsehood in relation to myself
He states that am a resident of this city only a
few years, and insnuates that am carpet-bag-
ger such as himself Having, like the fox, un-
doubtedly lost his own tail in this regard he is
anxious to have as many others in his own pre-
dicament as possible. He is scarcely expected
to know who are our ante bellum citizens Except
they be of that class if anything more to be
despised by the respectable portion of this COM
munity than the tribe to which Stoutmeyer
claims affinity, viz: scallawags) to be familiar
with the status of decent people.
All my friends know that 1 am resident Of
this city for about twenty years. and that have
lived honestly and upon my own earnings, with
out dependence upon brothers-in-aw, rascally or
otherwise He states first that was i'm the en-
ploy of Clinton, then that Clinton obtained for
me a position, then that he influenced business
to me. These are all false statements, as never
had and desire no business dealings with Clin-
ton. This Stoutmeyer Whose name, by the way,
could be more appropriately spelt stout-liar),
cannot have made these statements inadvertent-
w. as this same Clinton is his own brother -in-aw,
and he had means of information. He repeats
the lie that the committee waiting upon Kellogg
beratcd me and elbowed me to the rear. I
should like to know the name of the man Or men
who did this berating and who made such use Of
their elbows.
Having demanded justice of him and met pre-
varication alone, and informed him personally OF
my opinion of him, not the most f1attering. and
met the reply that it was matter of difference
of opinion between lis, take this means of in
forming the public that he is liar and falsifier,
one unworthy of notice, except for the position
he occupies as editor in chief of one of our pub
lie journals, willing to prostitute its columns by
making of them the vehicle of infamous libel.

French Legislative Manners.

The American Congress is bad enough in
| the display, at times of bad manners but
there is no Legislative body in the world that
is SO excitable, unruly and obstreperous as the
French Assembly Two weeks ago there was
a scene Of uproar and discourtesy that would
have disgraced an American ward meeting.
Several Deputies called each other liars and
danced at each other in fashion more honest
than dignified, until the President, unable to
stop the riotious proceedings, was forced to
adjourn the Assembly.
There are plenty Of instances further back
graceful conduct in that same tribune. When
Nj. Dupn was President the way he took to quell
these pleasantries was both graceful and in
genious He held a big copper bell in one
hand-a sort of dinner bell-and a hammer
II the other and whenever he perceived signs
of a coming storm, he would pound and ring
as furiously as an old lady at bee-swarming
time. But he was not always able to calm
matters in this manner. Once, it is recorded,
Prince Pierre Bonapart rushed up to an
and boxed his ears once Count
keranfech, a Breton member, sweetly poured
his glass of sugared water into the face Of a
Deputy of the Left who had approached to
shake an angry fist at him; and at another
time the whole Assembly rose frantically, all
the members calling each other Oh women
and imbeciles and wild beasts, and other pet

, . eynryLLETINs COMMERCIAL MAP.

q a1Sa our LIST of September edition we VII
=" = q map which has been carefully and
ecially prepared for the BULLETIN by T. S.
iardee, the distinguished civil engineer who
IT. prepared the official maps of the States Of
IVY Mississippi and Louisiana. This map will
illustrate thoroughly the commercial import
ance Of New Orleans, and with the sure and
rapid development Of the mighty West, will
show its natural position for future com
mercial prosperity to be superior to any other
point on this continent.
1t will embrace all railroad lines completed
and projected which bear commercially upon
New Orleans especially those looking to the
Pacific at San Diego, Guayamas Mazatlan
and San Bias, and also through Texas to the
City Of Mexico. 1t will show also the pro-
pos d steamship lines to Vera Cruz and other
points in Mexico also to Central America
and Brazil 1t will contsin also plat show
ing location of the Fort st. Philip Canal, with
the depth of water, and the location also OF
the proposed canal across the isthmus of Flor
ida. On the face of each State will appear
such staff sites as will afford at glance an idea
Of its population and agricultural resources,
and therefore its commercial bearing and in
tercourse with New Orleans point Of trade
and export.
The map is now being engraved and cleo
trotyped in New York in the highest style of
art, and, we venture to say, will be the most
complete and interesting map of the kind
ever before published by any newspaper in
the United States.
A map will be sent with each copy of the
paper, and nearly $1,000 extra copies of the
paper have been ordered in advance, and we
confidently expect to issue 30, 900 copies.
Advertisers will see at a glance the impor-
lance Of sending in their orders and favors al

Two Little Wanderers.

There's probably no cynic in this prosac
world Of Notwithstanding people SO grim and
hard that he cannot be touched by that fairy
sketch of the two little wanderers at the Hoi-
ly-Tree Inn. What Gruff and Glum could
withstand it when Dickens read it himself
with the light in his eye and the smile on his
lip that he always had for childhood? There
is hardly pretter picture in all literature
than that Of the handsome, bright boy, and
the tender little May Moon perched up at their
dinner with Boots and all the maids of the
inn adoring them laughingy, cryingly. But
here is one that was almost as pretty that was
to be seen in Massachusetts town not long
ago.
One Of the smallest Of small boys, after
vainly begging the enormous sum of six cents
from his remorseless father, managed to ac-
quire it in some other deeply considered way,
and Immediately trotted off to consultation
with very wee girl to whom he was ton,ily
attached A serious conversation revealed
the facts that the attachment was mutual, and
that while one OF the parties possessed pro-
digious wealth to the amount OF six whole
cents. the other was cognizant of a carpet
bag which might be had nightly convenient
for the taking Combining the forces OF
money and carpet-bag, the two little creatures
marched off to the railway station and settled
themselves comfortably to travel wither they
knew not in an outgoing train. Of course,
hard-hearted conductor, regardless of their
wealth and baggage and affection, carefully
lifted them out and sent them home, where
their elopement is not mentioned with that
seriousness which they could wish.

OPIUM TREATMENT Druggist of Lon
don says that young lady who had been long
accustomed to the use Of opium, applied to ali
eminent physician to make hypodermic injec-
tions Of morphia. He commenced by making
the injections as desired, of morphia and
water; by degrees the quantity of morphia was
lessened without her knowledge, until within
a few days nothing but pure water was inject
ed-atter each Of which injections she would
lapse into quiet sleep, in the same manner
as she had been accustomed to do under the
actual use Of morphia. This treatment was
continued for several months during which
time tonics had been used to strengthen the
system and bring about a health condition
after being 50 long ii ne under the influence
of opium. When he considered it safe to do
so, he told her plainly that she had not taken
particle of morphia for months, and was en-
tirely free from its influence Her surprise
and JOY wee great. and she is now entirely
free from any desire for opium

The British Merchant NAVY.

| The official English statement shows that at
the breaking out of the American civil war, in
1861, England owned ), SO, 1863 tons, the Uni
ted States j,4S2, OPT tons, and France 1888, 99G.
From that period the mercantile navy of the
United Kingdom rapidly developed, until in
1872, the last date included in the return, the
aggregate of British tonnage was 1913, 500,
against 4,3Sl,957 belonging to the United
States, or an excess Of about two-thirds, and
nearly seven times as large as the tonnage Of
France, which was only 1,O77,611. From
this it follows that the commercial navy
than those belonging to the two other
chief maritime powers, and that the principal
part OF this increase has taken place latterly.
As might be expected, the greatest develop
meht took place in the years Immediately sue
ceeding the outbreak of the American civil
war, when considerable portion Of the
ocean-carrying trade performed by the United
States fell into the hands of England Be-
tween 1861 and 1865 when the war terminated,
the aggregate tonnage Of Great Britain rose
from 1886, 1863 to 1922, GO4-the highest point
ever reached-being an increase Of ], 427, 235
in four years, or at the rate OF 3555, 900 tons
per AMMAN. During the same period, Ameri-
can tonnange, exclusively registered for oco an
traffic, fell of from 2,642, 628 to ,GO2, JS, or
a decrease of more than million tons, being
at the rate of 100000 per annum. Since 1865
there has been an insignificant falling off in
the tonnage Of both nations, while that of
France has slightly increased.
