A Boston Man in Paris.

The Paris correspondent of the area.
dian writes at follows: II must tell
you little history which will amusc
you. You have heard of Madame
Judic, who was once the star of the El-
dorado, and who, by dint Of beauty, a
fine voice and much talent, has pushed
her way into the opera bouffe company.
Well, the other night, Madame Judie
was in her box assisting at first per-
for,nance, when 10! a tap, and gentle
tap, tap, tapping came upon her (box)
door. She opened it and there entered
unto her a man-servant. with a curious
present in his white cotton gloved
hands. 1t consisted Of five red pinks
struck through ring. Said ring was
set with diamonds and cat eyes, and is
worth about $1,000. With it was a
note, and the note read thus: MADAME,
L am an American. l adore, but have
never spoken to you. Accept this gift
from one who worships you, but is
obliged to 60 home to his wife in Bos-
ton, an American How nice to be a
pretty actress and get pretty gifts from
people who don't even know you to
speak to but how dangerous it is for
wives in Boston to let their husbands
go all alone to Paris.'

didn't you take it out any way? No.

measure when you were sure it could

would pass anyway, and then voted
against it. Bosh, Mr.. Dunnell, that S

Some one writing to the Pioneer from
Clearwater, Minn., tells of man who,
under the influence Of ''mixed juices -

her arm. 1t took the sheriff and the
doctor to put the man and the arm
"here they respectively belonged.

Resolutions of Fountain Brook
Grange. No. j2S.

WHEREAS, The question of political
discussion in the Grange is receiving
support enough to call for
a clear expression Of sentiment
from all loyal oranges, and whereas a
division of opinion on the subject among
law-abiding Patrons seems to US i'm
possible.
Therefore resolved. That in our
Grange capacity we will not lend our
selves to any political party or faction,
but will engage in those pleasures and
discharge those duties for which the
Order was alone created.
Resolved further, That we hold it to
be the duty Of every Patron to be we'll
informed on the leading issues of the
day, and to exercise his right of suf-
trage in such manner as he believes
most likely to fulfill the mission of the
Order, but this is duty to be per-
formed outside the gates.
Resolved further, That there are sew.
eral reasons why we believe it to be un-
wise and inexpedient to discuss these
questions in Grange, foremost and suf.
ficient of which is that the law forbids
it. And further
Resolved. That we look with suspicion
upon the motives Of those who advocate
the violation Of law for political profit,
and that he who would subvert the order
to his personal gain or aggrandizement is
traitor, worthy Of ignominious defeat
and expulsion from the Order; and
finally
Resolved, That at all times and under
all circumstances, in the matter Of obe-
diencc to the law, as in all things else.

[From the N. Y. Sun.

"A One'legged SOldler walking up tilc
Bowery was accosted by clothing mer-
chant with the usual Sell you some
thing to-day!'' Entering the store the
veteran was invited to inspect the large
stock, but having looked through the
array Of coats and vests and trousers. he
turned to go, saying that he saw moth

"Vos dat all! Yacob, bring me one
of dem one-legged gray pants on dot

In few minutes Jacob returned and
reported that the last pair had been
sold.
Meanwhile the partner next door who
had been listening through the thin
partition mapped out plan of cam
paign against the one-legscd cripple.
''Yohn,' he whispered to an attendant.
''cut me of de leg Of one Of dem gray
pants. Send him up quick
By the time this had been done the
soldier had hobbled out of the first
store only to be inveigled into the sec.
ond. Again he went through the in
spection Of odds and ends, and again
demanded one legged trousers, intimat.
ing that he didn't believe the trader had
them.
''Not haf one legged pants! Fadder
Moses vat you takes me for9 Yohn. bring
me one of them one-legged gray pants

The newly altered trousers were pro-
duced, and the waggish soldier gave
himself up as lost. But as he spread
them before him he became conscious.
as did the dealer, Of something wrong.
'Mein Gott! Fadder Abraham! John!
you haf ruined mel You haf cut off dc
wrong leg!'
This was probably the same dealer
who was recently called upon by a
young man for coat. A fit was made
IN due time. and then came the haggling
about the price. First twenty dollars
was fixed, then the c'othier abated dol
lar after dollar, fighting his way inch by
inch. until at length he had offered the
coat for eight dollars.

Producing the two dollars, the young
man moved away with his purchase:
but as he reached the door he heard
the dealer exclaim, with upliftcd hands:
.:Gott help me! 1 only make one

Another of the Chatham street DEAL

and cavalry boots. An ex-soldier pur.

"Valk! You walk in dem boots! w.

Politics in the (Sranxe.

In another column we print certain
resolutions of Fountain Brook Grange
on the subject Of this article. We print
them because it is intimatcd in the rcso-
luti0ns that some man or men favor DO
litical discussion in the oranges. We
confess that We have never seen or heard
Of man or woman who was in favor of
violating the constitution by discussing
political questions in the grange, but we
take it that Fountain Brook Grange has,
and therefore print their resolutions.
The great question as we understand
it is, what are, and what are not, politi-
cal questions ? This question being de-
termined all are, or should be, agreed to
exclude the former. But it is very diff.
ticult thing to fix the line of dcmarka-
tion. a question that was political last
year may not be this year, or one that
is political this year may not be next.
There was time when the question of
slavery was the greatest political ques-
ton before the people, but to day no
grange would be considered as violating
the rule by discussing the question of
slavery, or favoring its abolition in
Cuba and South America. There was a
time when the question of tariff was a
political question but it is not now. The
great political parties are no longer di-
Vlded on this question. Democrats and
Republicans are alike found on both
sides OF it, and so Of hundred others
that we might point out.
But there are many othc RS that it i
mot so easy to determine. For instance
we are told by some that it is not prop.
er to discuss and denounce the tak;no
and keeping of the salary grab. We
think otherwise. Some will think that
the currency question should not be
discussed, because it is political; others
will think differently; and so we might
go on.
How, then, are we to determine
whether a question is or is not within
the prohibition? Without undertaking
to fully answer this question we will say
that it will be found safe rule to ex.
clude every question that is calculated
to stir up strife and bad feeling, and to
destroy the harmony of the Grange.
whenever any question arises that
threatens to destroy the unity and good
feeling of the Grange, let it be instantly
expelled. No matter how important it
may be, it is of thousand times more
Importance that peace and fratcrnal re-
lations should be maintained.
Political and religious questions arc
forbidden simply because they are ant
, to cngender strife and bad feeling. Anv
question that will produce the same re-.
suit is within the spirit of the const;tu.
tional provision. If we are so disposed
we shall be able to find plenty of sub.
jects to discuss that will be edifyinp
and instructive without at the same
time >tendeng to produce wrang.

THE OWATONNA CONVENTION.

The attention Of all thoughtful men
has been arrested by the action of the
Republican Convention at Owatonna on
the l4th inst, in nominating the Hon.
Mark II. Dunnell as the Republican
candidate for Congress from the First
District. We had supposed there was not
man in the district, however humble
and unknown, who had not a better
chance for that nomination than Mr..
Dunnell. We believed firmly that no
man who was tainted with the salary
grab, or had ever touched one of the un-
holy, Judas 1scariot pieces of silver CIV
en- by that infamous measure could ever
get vote in any convention for any
office whatever. And yet already,
while the storm of indignation aroused
by the measure has scarcely begun
to lull, here is man who
publicly proclaims that he was illegally,
constitutionally and morally author
ized'' to take and keep the back pay
money for which he had given neither
labor nor time, and who says that if he
had given it back, II should have con-
sidered that was guilty Of an act of
degradation from which l recoil.' This
man is nominated as the candidate of
the Republican party Of the First Con-
gressional District Of our own State.
We can neither express our surprise
or our grief. It would seem that what
the people denounce by their voices one
day, they will sustain by their votes
the next. Is it possible that after all
VIC have heard against this back pay
steal, that nevertheless the people
are going to send the salary grabbcrs
all back to Congress! If so, we confess
there is but little hope for reform, and
the outlook is gloomy.
We cannot yet believe that the peo-
pie of the first district have made this
nomination. It surely must have been
the work of the politicians-the men
who have shared in the spoils. But
even if this be so, why have the people
permitted it? Are they so dead to
their own interests that they still al
low themselves to be run and voted by
wire pullers and tricksters? If yea,
then let us hear no more about the peo-
pie being down'trodden and oppressed.
Let US hear no more abou tunjust and par
tial legislation or political corruption.
for if the people will make no effort to
prevent it they arc not worthy of any.
thing better. ''Who would be free.
himself must strike the blow
But if the people of that district have
been negligent to their own interests we
still hope that they will now have their
eyes opened and that they will instant
ly arise and grid themselves for the
fight. Place in nomination some man
whose skirts are clean, whose character
is bed rock, and whose integrity is un-
impeachable, and then turn out and
support him to man. This is no
question of politics or political parties.
1t is question of principle, and of vital
Importance, and one upon which the
oranges have spoken both inside and
outside of the grange. We cannot be-
lieve that they are ready to swallow
their own denunciations, and the man
they have denounced. If not. let them
see to it that no salary grabber shall
again darkcn the doors of Congress
from the first district of Minnesota.

Tha Civil Rights Bill passed the Se-
nate. last Saturday morning. by vote
OF yeas %, nays Is, after discussion
lasting through the whole night pre-
ceding. The minority made a vigo-
rous fight, not only against over
whelming numbers. but the insolent
and unsorupulous spirit which pressed
such a measure on the country for no
other than political reasons. Senator
Thurman said in debate. that "the
only object of Its passage was to retain
the 800, 600 votes which were virtually
essential to the Republican party. "
For this reason they were willing to
run the rick of destroying the entire
common school system of the South.
Brownlow says that it is not in the
power of forty Congresses to establish
the mixed school system in Tennessee.
There will be just as great difficulty in
all other Southern States, except in
South Carolinn and Louisiana. The
bill is fatal blow ut the real privileges
and extraordinary advantages of the
colored children in the Southern
States, inflicted in The name of On
abstraction, in order to retain politi.
cal control. This is seen by intelli-
gent colored men, but The bulk of
them, like those who applauded it's
passage. are weak enough to suppose
that it is another step forward.
