TABLE Rock, Neb., May 2sth, 1874.
DEAR OLD EGIs: Weare enjoying fine wealth
or at this time, in this section of the great West
Farmers are getting along finely with their work.
They as class are getting to be here 'Mon-
archs of all they survey" A person living here
now can see Grangerism in full blast. The far
mer here can tell you sad, yet no doubt truth
full story. For instance, he came here ten years
ago, took up government land, lived two or
three years in a cabin or 'dug out" labored
hard, suffered much deprived his family of ma
ny comforts, and yet withal, he was almost skin
ned alive by every one with whom he dealt The
doctor, the agent for every ware, the merchant
in particular, shaved him close but at the con-
cluson of this sad story, he eXultingly tells you
"But the farmers are even with them now"
We grangers will show them who is who. We
will patronize our granger's store, our granger
merchant, doctor, ETC., etc. But there being
two sides to almost every question, we will hear
what those hardhearted agents, doctors, me-
.chanics, merchants, and other dealers may have
to say. They, too, tell you pitiful story, I'M
.doubtcdly also true. They say, it is true we
charged the farmer heavy percentage because,
for our pills, our lumber our merchandise and
farming implements, We had to wait one, two
and sometimes three years for our pay.
l am neither granger nor anti-grangcr, but
do now, and always have felta great interest in
the farmer. delight to sec him get along, and
accumulate in his very honorable vocation; but
many disintercsted, intelligent people here say
the Changers movement is crippling the COM
mon interests of this section of the country.
For instance, here is Pawncc City, the county
seat ofthis Pawnce county. 1t has been forsevc
raj years great trade centre. The Changers
have at this place their store and agricultural
warehouse, and are doing an immense business;
but all the other stores and traders, some 10 or
Is in number, are doing comparatively nothing.
Some merchants in the place are closing out, and
SO it goes. Everything is dull as dull can be-
except at the Changers places of course those
merchants and traders, not Changers, and who
in consequence are doing but little or no bust.
ness, they are spending nothing, making no i'm
provements, and it looks as though the Gran
gers movement was making things in general
rather tardy.
Even if other stores sell now at lower per
cent. than the Changers store it makes no differ.
ence TO the Granger, for he will deal at the Gran
gers store. submit these facts, as they seem
to my mind to be. However, it may be that
when the radical points in the Granger move
ment shall have been softcncd down, that it may
then prove to be great blessing to the masses.
1t has already done one good thing. 1t has
taught the farmer not to sell his chickens be
fore they arc Matched. In other words, not to
go in debt LATE OF FALLsToN.

This Institute has been established, and is
conducted upon the plan adopted and found so
eminently successful by similar Institutions
in Europe, as for example, that of Prof Won
Gracfc of Berlin, of whom the surgeon in charge
is pupil. The success and public favor which.
have greeted it from its Inauguration, have been
so encouraging, that VIC have been induced 70
extend its accommodations from time to time
and now can confidently claim that no institu.
ton in the country can offer more suitable pro.
visions for the comfort care and convenience OF
its inmates.
As this was the pioneer establishment in the
Southern States and is now in the fifth year of
its existence, it may be not inappropriate to re-
fer TO the fact that since its Inauguration nearly
five thousand operations have been performed,
including four hundred and fifty cataract opera
tions, the s.atistics of which compare most ia.
vorably with any on record.
THE CHARITY DEPARTMENT OF THE
INSTITUTION, located at No. ~ Saratoga
Street, is supported by the City and State and
is open daily for the reception of INDECENT pa
tients. The dispensary is open from TO 10 A.
NJ, daily, when all applying receive the atten-
tion of the surgeon in charge and me- icincs

ErGENIE,s CoRsEr.MAKER.

Olive Logan writes to HdTper's Ueekly
some interesting gossip about the ex- En-
press IEugenie and her corset-maker, Mad
anne GringOire. Under the influence Of the
imperial patronage, the custom of Grim
gOire became fabulous in extent. Forty
dollars per pair was the price paid by
Eugene, and GringOire would make none
for anybody under twenty dollars.
Summoned to London about six
months ago to attend Fl. r. H." the Prin-
cess of Wales, Gringoire found that her
own body was more in need Of attendance
than that of her noble customer, and in
fOggy London Gringoire babe adieu to a
world Of ''false, vain show" in feminine
outlines as well as all other things. From
GringOire's former employees We learn that
the MarchiOneSS of Hastings is held by
them to poSSesS a beautiful figure, sonly
eighteen inches around the waist,
such a bust, and such sloping
shoulders" The ex-Empress measures
twenty-Seven inches around the waist. but
her bust is so very large that her waist
looks very small, and always wears cOntil
cOrsetS; never silk nor satin. GrinCoire
made special night-cOrsets for her, made of
little tiny bones not thicker than a pin,
and with straps and buckles in front. in
stead of busks. This was to preserve her
figure, as she constantly feared losing her
shape. The Empress cOrsetS were washed
as well as made by GringOire at a cost of
81 per pair. She has never had a new pair
since she left the throne. Madame Grin
goirc went and called on her once at CHS
eIhurs;, and found her dressed in plain
merino dress, with linen collar and cuffs.
She told Madame G.. that she was very

ARIsTOCRATIC HUNTING.

Canon, have been cutting up high jinks in
Estes Park and enjoying all sorts Of hair
breadth escapes. A reliable correspondent
writes us that they have been particularly
successful in following the pet pursuit Of
good old Izaak Walton, and that scores, if
not hundreds, Of spe.liled beauties overload
their baskets daily. They have also killed
any number of 'beasties" of various sorts,
and the Earl had a pitched battle with a
female mountain lion not long ago that
came very near causing much weep
ing and wailing at Dunraven Castle. He
was alone, having separated from the rest
of the party, when be observed the leOnine
mountaineer about to spring upon him
from an overhanging rock in the vicinity.
He had just time to raise his gun to his
shoulder and fire when the creature went
for him. The ball hit her fairly in tie

CATHERINE sEDGwICK's LOVE
srringaeId Republican.


The love story Of Catherine Sedgwick,
who wrote of such ideal passions in her
novels, forty and fifty years ago, has been
for the first time given to the world IN the
columns of the Pittsburgh Eagle. Miss
Sedgwick was the flower of peculiarly in
teIlectual family, many Of whose members
won distinguished names in various fields,
and s.HOpe Leslie with its successors, has
rendered her place in American lit
erature secure. Her home in Stock
bridge, her native place, where she
died not many years ago, was long
social and intellectual centre, and
she was surrounded by most revereut
friendship and attentions n singUlarly
even. placid life hers seemed; and yet she
had her romance. Her brother Theodore,
son of the eminent Judge Of the same
name. was a lawyer in Albany when the
century was Young, and his partner, Har-
mann Bleecker, naturally became acqualnt-
ed with the brilliant young writer, and an
engagement followed. Mr.. Blocker was
one Of the old Dutch families Of the knick-
erbocker city, a man of wealth, culture,
and high character, but of colder and less
unreasonable nature than his betrothed.
In his reading, therefore, the ardent alice
tiOns she portrayed between the
lovers Of her romances startled him.
He stopped to ask himself if this
were what he was expected to feel. The
result of his self-ex animation was a letter,
telling her that if the love she had so Wv
idly depicted should be exacted from him
he felt that he could never respond to the
demand; he could never feel so exalted
sentiment. And the engagement between
Hartmann BleeC ker and Catherine Sedg-
wick was broken. Mr.. Bleecker, in his
subsequent residence in Holland, as Charge
de'Affaires, met a young woman OF the
county who married him, then in his Old
ace. and made him a faithful wife; their
old mansion, spacious and overlooking the
Hudson on one Of the steep hills OF Alba
nv. still stands. Miss Sedgwick was I'M
welded to her death.

L0ndOn IoFTeSpOnle-ice OF Inc Clnelnnan Com

mercial.
have heard Patti in Opera, a privilege
we are denied in the United States. 1t is
not far from twenty years since she was a
slender little girl, with great black spark
ling eyes, singing in concerts under the di-
rect on Of the elder StrakOsch. Her youth
has been wonderfully preserved. Her eyes
seem larger, and blacker, and glow with a
deep fire. There is not a line in her face
to speak Of the unkindlineSs of time
There is tenderness almost weak in the
expression of her mouth. Her throat
and arms are plump, and have the
Whiteness Of SHOW. Her figure is
charming, and in grace and vivacity she is
bird-like. In the third act of I'll Troya-
tore" the splendOr of her diamonds was as
founding. There were cOrOnet and neck
lace and girdle-bands and bracelets and
rings OfdiamOnds, diamond bird and but
terfiy in her hair, a diamond bOquet on her
bosom, and as she ed she glittered from
head TO foot in degree that was dazzling.
The part of LeOnOra is an exactiug one,
and as she submitted repeatedly to be re-
called and encOred, she was in the last scene
nearly exhausted, and her pallOr, which was
very marked, was not all artistic. The ques-
IlOn as 10 Hef appearance III opera III AIueIICd
has not been settled. She agrees to go.
All that she asks as a condition to going is
granted. She signs the contract to 60; and
then she does not 90. With Europe treat
ing her as the very queen of song, and
showering the richest evidence Of admira-
ton and homage upon her, it is not sur
prising that she hesitates to cross the At
lantic to encounter the immense fatigues of
a season in America l do not think it i'm
pOrtant that I should discuss the question
of her capacity as an artist, or compare her
with Nilsson and Lucca.
