had they remained in their several pre-
vious avocations. The records of any
secret society In this or any other coun-
try may be searched In vain, for no.
bier, purer and more patriotic showing
than these earnest and patient men have
made and can make of their connection
with the National Grange. The whole
story of the connection of the Grange
with politics and political parties is
equally false, and to any member of the
order is perfectly absurd. The consti.
tuition of the National, State and supor-
dinate Oranges requires that no political
or partisan topic shall be discussed in
the Grange, and no rule is more strictly
enforced. The members of the order
are from all political parties aud from
every shade and section of each, and
their political views are never ques-
toned or influenced in the Grange.
Belonging to the great agricultural
class, it is fair to presume that they will
seek to have the State and National
Legislation such as will promote and ia
cilitate, In the highest and widest sense,
the interest of agriculture and as
these are affiliated with all others. they
will not probably wrong any others.
They are, so far as we know, q unit In
favor of honesty, capacity and economy
in the management of National and
State affairs. But even these principles,
against which no sincere patriot can
raise any objection, cannot be discussed
IN the Grange. / think it possible that

Every now and then Mrs. Ponder is for
day invisible to her friends. unavaila-
bic to her family. and uncomfortable to
herself. because she has to dust and wash
precious articles that she dares not en-
trust even to her rarlor- maid and when
they are washed and busted, they arc

the precious bargains are once more safe

How Nashville Barber Created SEN
zzs. sati0n at the Springs.

A few days since young barber of this
city put his best garments in hand vallse
and HE'D him away to one of the popular
summer resorts in Tennessee, within less
than weeks journey of Nashville. He
was fair to look upon, sported good har-
ness, used pomade and things with I'M
sparing hand, and had acquired quite
reputation for agility and grace in tripping
the light fantastic.
Upon arriving at the springs in question
he moved through the throng like a con-
quering hero. Susceptible schoolgirls
and even sentimental maidens of two
seasons y fell before the charms of those
ambrosial locks, that graceful bearing and
polished manner. and within an hour after
his arrival our knight of the lather- brush
was master of the situation, and had no
lack of partners for the dance. Oneyoung
lady was especially kind, and as she was
one of then attractive ladies at the
springs, our discriminating and apprecia-
tive barber sought every opportunity to en-
joy her society. %
This state of affairs continued for about
twenty-four hours, when the young mans
80 profession was discovered, causing a
change to come over the spirit of his dream
Immediately. The young lady who had
been the recipient of his marked attentions
lost her interest in the society of the
springs, and departed for home on the
first train.-NashUiIbe Union and american.
