ANOTHER MISER DIES IN MIS-
cry.
From the New Orleans Times,

From the New Orleans Times.
Thirty years ago middle aged
man left Stockholm, the land
of his nativity, for America, the
foreigners Arcadia. After ten
years wandering through our
States, he finally reached New Or
leans, and among his countrymen
here he met with many eager to
lend him helping hand to retrieve
his fallen fortunes. Repeated trials
always resulted in failure. Then
the war came on, and for a time
he was lost to view. When next
he came to the surface in our city's
life he was draining the bitter
dregs of poverty, haggard, Woe
BECOME, gray bearded, decrepid
old man, peddling matches and
lead pencils. Regular each morn
ing he YEARLY wendell his way
among our French citizens, his
bent form and cadaverous look eX-
citing the sympathy and compass
sion of all who saw him. Four
years ago he applied for lodging at
Mr.. Jantet Begue's, No. 259 Char
ters street. His request was granted
and he was assigned a room in the
yard at a nominal rent. For the
two years he appeared to get along
we'll enough, still he always re-
tanned his beggarly appearance
then took sick and depended en-
tirely ON the charity of his landlord
for subsistence, occasionally gain.
ing strength to peddle his small
stock of wares in the neighborhood.
Last Wednesday he seemed as
we'll as usual, and toward evening
closed his doors and barred the
windows
Thursday and Friday passed, and
still no signs of animation is
sued from his room. Becoming
alarmed, the landlord opened the
window, and q scene that beggars
description met his view, for there
lying on the floor was the mortal
remains Of +. Andre Hillman, lit
orally wallowing in dirt, and as if
in CHASTITY mockery Of the dead,
three canaries at the first ray Of
sunlight from without, struck up
joyous carol, An examination of
his effects revealed the astonishing
fact of his having sufficient Of the
worlds good to have maintained
him in atfluence.

A NEW PARTY

We have never doubted that the
Grange movement would result in
the formation of a new political
party. The initiatory movement
has been made much sooner than
we expected. The meeting Of the
State Farmers Association of Hi.
nois, at Bloomington on Tuesday,
through its Advisory Board, was
to decide upon the ACCESSIBILITY of
organizing an Independent polite
al party, the matter having been re-
ferred by the last meeting
of the State Association to
this committee. After the dis
cussion, which lasted nearly all
day, it was decided by an almost
unanimous vote that a new party
should be organized, which shall
include the members of all indus
trial organizations, and a call was
issued for a State convention to
meet at Bloomington.

1t is surprising how closely the
politicians watch the current and
beat of the public pulse, and salts
fly themselves fully in regard
thereto before taking any decided
position on leading questions of
government. Gov. Hendricks, of
Indiana, is taking care of his rec
ord. He does not exactly know
how the Democratic pulse will
beat OH the financial question in
1876, and his views concerning the
veto, if he has any, are carefully
kept to himself. To the irrepres-
sible interviewer, who approached
him recently, he courteously re-
marked that he did not think it
comported with the duties and
dignity of his Office as Executive
ola Commonwealth to enter active
ly into a controversy with the Exec
utive Of the nation on veto.n He
remarked however, that he was
not willing to say, in view of the
facts, that the demand Of the west
for a moderate increase Of the cur
rency was unreasonable.

ORGANIZATION FORCED UPON
AGRIOULTURISTS. .

External vigilance is the price
of liberty" to nation, and as we
may safely say to each individual
and class composing that nation,
all assemblies of wOrkmen, trades
men, professional men, capitalists,
theorists and schemerS for the pur-
pose of advancing the especial
interests of themselves, means to a
greater or less degree, a coming
together of men to seek advantage
over others not of their Order or
class. Hence, when we find large
body of men taking no such action
nor assembling and working after
their social interests and wants,
we discover body of men preyed
upon to a degree that human pa
thence should not attempt to en-
dure.
Born 10 regard labor as duty,
and persevering industry as sure
road to success, our farmers work
ed expecting return for their
labors, equal to what they had
earned, and to what their capital
invested in farm property and i'm
plements entitled them, little car
ing what other men might do,
while leaving all free, as they de-
sired to be, to pursue the occupa-
ton best suited to their tastes.
But capital, and the men di-
rectly dependent on capital or
their support and employment,
captured Congress, Legislatures,
and the creatures Of our legislative
bodies, and transformed ii en- into
instruments with which to break
the natural laws which regulate
trade, so as to cause the fruits of
the labor of millions Of farmers to
flow into peck lts to which they did
not and should not belong. Hence
came final rebellion on the part
Of the farmers, and we are but in
the beginning of the gathering
together Of the forces which are
destined to restore the broken laws
of trade. --AmericG2 Patron.

The members of the Press
Association were h and 0 M G / y
received and entertained by
the citizens of Park ers-
burg, and especially by the
members ofthe Parkersburg press.
We much regretted that we could
not remain to enjoy the drive ar
ranged by the citizens of the place,
and the excursion to Volcano and
the oil regions. But through the
kindness of Hon. J. n. Cam
den, the representatives of the
independent with Mr.. Dana l. Hub
bard, of the Wheeling Standard
who was also compelled to leave
for home before the final adjourn
ment of the Association, were
driven over the city. We visited
the oil refining establishment, and
the barrel factory Of Camden & Co.
Here we found over a hundred
men at work, busy as bees,
putting the crude oil through
the various and complicated
process of refining, and manufac-
turing the barrels to put it in. The
oil is handled entirely by steam
pumps, and the barrels manufac-
tured entirely by machinery
About seven hundred iron-bOund
coal oil barrelsare turned out daily.
After leaving this establishment
we were driven to the magnificent
grounds of the Wood County Ag-
ricultural Association. The
grounds, thus far, have cost over
$25, 900, and much work yet re-
mains to be done to fully complete
them. Parkersburg is improving
quite rapidly a large number Of
new buildings are in course of
erection on the outskirts, and most
of them ola superior class. We re-
turned to the city after 7 o'clock,
and attended the night session of
the association.

The New York Tribune says
General Butler is re ported to be
in search ola newspaper. Notwith-
standing his contempt for the for
ty jack-ass mud power ofthe press,
he wants an organ in Boston to re-
feet his views, to fight his battles,
to pursue his foes and puff his
friends. Butler is old enough to
know better. The purchase of an
organ is always a losing invest
ment People will not read an or
gan, because itnever is fit for any
thing as a newspaper; and they
will not believe it because they
distrust its sincerity. Every year
its usefulness becomes less and
less; and as the independent press
gradually monopolizes the field of
