Growth of the Changers.

The latest weekly circular issued at
Washington from the Office of the Ma
tional Grange gives statement of the
number of subordinate and State
oranges, which illustrates in a striking
manner the rapid growth of the organ
ization. On Saturday, the date of
latest dispatch, the total num-
Der of oranges was 1874; the men,
bership being CAB, lbs. From the
LIST to the Odd inst. the number of
oranges organized was 7S9. During
the present year, so far, the number of
new oranges organized is 6,257, dis
tributed as follows: January, 1873 Feb
ruary, 347; March, 666; april, OIL !;
May, 500 June, 625; July, 612; Au-
gust, 500; September, 919; October,
l $50 November ODD, 7S9. The high
est number organized during any
month of 1872 was 40; the lowest, 81.
The following States have no State
Oranges Alabama, 266 subordinate
oranges; Delaware, none Florida, Is;
Kentucky, s. Louisiana, So; Mary
land, IA ; Maine, 1 Massachusetts,, IA;
New Jersey, q; New Hampshire, g.;
Virginia, s. OF Territories, there are,
Colorado, 2; and Washir gton 5, while
Canada has 8 oranges.
State Oranges are organized in the
following States and Territories, while
the number of subordinate oranges
named are included in each jurisdiction:
Arkansas, SO California, III Georgia,
395; Illinois, 74S; Indiana, 633 !;
Iowa, 1888; Kansas, 679; Michigan,
100; Minnesota, 379; Mississippi, $50 !;
Missouri, 1,079; Nebraska, $50; New
York, "a; North Carolina, 100; Ohio,
21S; Oregon, As; Pennsylvania, 4S ;
South Carolina, 100; Tennessee, 229 !;
Texas. 81; Vermont, 81; West Virginia,
%; Wisconsin, 251, and in Dakota, 80.
The total number of oranges in the
South, or rather former slave States, is
2,946.
In New England there are but forty
four Oranges organized, and none are
found in Connecticut or Rhode Island.
Delaware is the only other State with
out a grange up to date. The order
has grown with great rapidity in the
former slave States, especially those in
the further South. Singularly enough,
the order has its largest existence in
South Carolina, as far as the South is
concerned. No question of color has
yet arisen, and it is believed that
that matter is easily controlled The
largest number of organized oranges
are found in Kansas, according to popu-
lation, while Iowa and Missouri give
the largest percentage of membership.
So far the Southern adhesions are from
the small plantation-holaers, and APP
pear to be desirable acquisition.

A curious case has recently occupied
the attention of the st. Louis courts.
In 1856, an Italian named Cadamatari
came to this country, bringing with him
a wife and child, and settled in st.
Louis, where he adopted the occupation
of beggar. The little girl did most of
the begging, while the father invested
the receipts. This part of the business
he attended to with much shrewdness,
Specializing in auction goods, real es-
tate, and SO on, with the money she OBJ
tanned Becoming comparatively
wealthy, Cadamatarl determined On a
trip to Europe, and went off amply sup
native Land. While he was gone the
daughter begged as persistently as ever,
and In the course of about five years
accumulated So 900, which she depos-
tied with the managers of the st. Louis
University. Lately Cadamatari returned

1HE PARTICULAR MAN.-The particu-
lar man makes more trouble and causes
more annoyance and delay than half q
dozen careless people, When he is
travelling he puts his ticket In place so
remarkably secure that not only dishon-
est people cannot find it, but he can't
find it himself. This tends to make him
confused in his search and unreliable in
his statements to the conductor aad
after working up that worthy to de-
gree of misery that borders pretty clear
" on to profanity, he either pays his
fare over, or is put off the train. After
he gets home he puts piece In the local
paper, which speaks of the road as a
grinding monopoly"

On Tuesday morning De-. Is, as the
bells on the Dispatch struck for 8
o'clock, and before the echo had died
away, the American flag flew to the flag
staff of the Virginius, and at the same
moment boat containing Capt. Whit
ing and Lieut.. Mariax put away from
the Dispatch. As they assembled the
accommodation-ladder of the Virginius.
the single man on deck, who proved to
be Senior De Ia Camar., advanced and
made q salute. The officers then read
their respective instructions, and Capt.
De la Camafa remarked that in obedi-
ence to the requirement of his Govern
ment he had the honor to turn over the
steamer Virginius to the American au-
thorities. Capt. Whiting accepted, and
ascertaining that receipt would be ac-
cepted, gave one. A word or two more
were civilly spoken, and the Spainard
stepped over the side, signaled to his
oarsmen, and in ten minutes was AGAIN

A High Old Time at the Capital OF
Dakota.

The news of the nominations made Dy
President Grant for officers of Dakota
IS announced this morning In the tele-
graphic news from Washington, and
created a great uproar In Yankton.
The information was first received by a
private telegram, and its receipt was the
occasion for all the heavy politicians of
that seat of Government to go on big
drunk. A Sioux City wag who was
there started report that Pennington,
the Alabama gentleman named for Gov
ernor, was an individual of color, and
that he knew him well. No one in
Yankton knowing anything to the con-
trary, the information was considered
of great Importance. Some were i'm
mensely- mad, and others hugely re-
ioiced, and whisky was punished with
renewed vigor. The excitement be-
came SO great that finally two parties,
accounted respectable, held that nothing
but duel would square their account,
AM. thereupon seconds were chosen, and
the excited throng repaired to the
suburbs of the town. One of the
parties was too drunk to stand alone,
and had to be supported as he con-
fronted his enemy. A number of shots
were exchanged, and at the first firing
the drunkest man was let go of and
tumbled- headlong to the ground. He
gave himself up for dead, but finally
ascertained that he was unframed, and
continued the fire. No blood was
spilled, however, as the weapons had
been loaded without ball or other
missile. There were other proceedings
of similar character. It may be said
enphatically that quite number lost
their heads.

ASHES AS MANURE.-At the recent
meeting of the Fruit Growers Associa-
ton of Ontario, Mr.. Noodle stated that
he had been in the habit of using un-
leached ashes as manure for his fruit
trees, and that he values them more
highly for this purpose than barn yar0i
manure.

Spiders.

A contributor to Ho7per's Bazaar gives
the following account of the spider /:
We do not believe there is much hui
man affection wasted upon the spider;
nevertheless it is very useful creature,
and should not be despised. Its specific
office is to prevent the dangerous multi
plication of winged insects. Entrap-
ping flies is its forte, and it has been re-
marked that if spiders should strike,
and for a single month In summer re-
fuse to set their traps, we could hardly
defend ourselves against armies of nox-
ious insects that would take possession
of our dwellings. Nevertheless there
may be such thing as too many spiders
in the world-a possibility against which
Nature has provided. When spiders
are thickest and busiest catching flies,
alarge, peculiar-looking fly appears upon
the stage of sction, and adroitly seizes
the spiders wherever they are found.
These spiders are slowed away in secret
cells to be food for the young flies.
Thus there is compensation all around. !"
Mr. FREDERICK W. SCHNEIDER, of the
Troy Press, set and distributed from
Dec. II, 1872, to Dec. IL, 1873, 1884,
203 ems. This amount, divided among31
working days, gives 10, 366 ems per day,
averaging in round numbers 10000 per
day, with little margin of ia, 1872.
The highest number set in any one day
was II, 485. For thirty-eight days Mr..
Schneider set IL, 900 ems per day, and
for five weeks averaged 70, 900 per week.
For thirty-four weeks he set go, 600 ems.
The matter was of general nature and
outside of any department.
