A Very Valuable Work.

" HISTORY OF THE GRANGE MOVEMENT, OR
THE FARMERS WAR AGAINST MoNoPo-
LIES" Being full and authentic account
of the struggles of the American farmers
against the extortions of the Railroad
Companies. With History of the Rise
and Progress of the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry. Published by the NATIONAL
PUBLISHING Co., of Chicago ard st. Louis.
The most remarkable and powerful
movement of the present day is, unuues-
tiOnably the War which the Farmers are
waging against the Monopolies of all
kinds that have for so long been robbing
the people and expressing the toiling por-
ton of our community
The work begins with the causes
which have aroused the American people
against the monopolists, and treats of the
railroad system of the country, its growth,
actual condition and prospects. 1t then
shows how this noble system has been per
verted to further the ends Of selfish CAPT
talists and railroad directors, who seek
gain at the expense ofthe community; and
we are given terrible and thrilling &C
count of the crimes and frauds of the
railroad corporations of to-day. The
author yields fearless and vigorous pen,
and points out the evil which this selfish
greed has entailed upon us. He shows
how the great corporations have been
able to control the whole country; how
they have robbed the nation, and cor
rupted our Congress, State Legislatures,
and Courts of Justice.
Passing from the Monopolists and their
outrages, the author takes up the cause of
the wronged and oppressed farmers, and
gives us a detailed statement of the evils
from which the farming class is suffering.
He analyses skillfully the causes of these
evils, and shows how and by whom the
farmers are robbed.
A considerable portion of the work is
devoted to history of the Order of Pa
irons of Husbandry. A complete account
of the organizations and objects of the Or
der is given; its laws and mode of pro-
cedure are stated; and each feature is ex-
planned at length.
1t is decidedly the most interesting and
useful volume of the day, and as it comes
at time when the whole country is suf
fering intensely from the effects Of the
evils it denounces, cannot fail to have
tremendous sale. 1t is an ably written
work, and a bold and vigorous plea in
behalf of the farmers and all who are OPP
pressed and robbed by the grasping Mo-
nopolies which are causing so much
rOuble.-ErchG7age.

The Dead of 1873.

THE death-roll of 1873 is a long one,
and embraces the names Ofmany eminent
men and women of both hemisphereS.
Among distinguished foreigners who have
died, and whose names are familiar the
world over, the following are the most
prominent: The Emperor Napoleon 4;
Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton; Adam Sedg-
wick, the English geologist; Macready,
the great tragedian j ohm Stuart Mill, the
economist; Ratazzi, the prominent ItaI-
ian statesman; Clara Mundt, the novelist,
better known as Louisa Muhlbach; Sir
Edward Landseer, the renowned artist :;
King John of Saxony, and Henri Roche
fort, the Red Republican leader of
France
In our own country we number among
the prominent dead, Governor Geary, of
Pennsylvania siefJustice Chase, Cakes
Ames, James Brooks, William Whiting,
members of Congress; Mansfield T. Wal
worth, the novelist, killed by his own
son; Horace F. Clark, the railway opera
tor; Hiram Powers, the sculptor; Jesse r.
Grant, father Of the President; Frederick
Dent, father-in-law Of the President; John
P. Hale, so well known in the political
history of the country; General McCook,
killed at Yankton, OAK; Laura Keene,
the eminent actress; General Hardee, au
thor of Hardee's Military Tactics;"
Richard Yates, of Illinois; Louis Agas
siz; Samuel Nelson, ex-Justice of the Su-
preme Court, and others of less renown.
Death has been particularly busy among
prominent clergymen in America. In
the list we find the name of Joel Parker,
d. D., a prominent Presbyterian clergy
man, of New York; the Rev. George At
wood, of New Hampshire; Bishop Nc
Ilvaine; R. S. Storrs, d. D., of Massa-
chusetts; and Gardener Spring, of New
York; the Rev. John Todd, of Pittsfeld,
author as well as preacher; Solomon
Howard, d. D., ex-President of the Ohio
University, and Bishop Armitage, of the
Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin.
1t is said by those who have compared
the lists of prominent dead for 1878 with
those of 1882 or 1857, that though the
mortality among distinguished, men has
been very great, it is not so large as in
those years, and perhaps not SO great as
in others that might be mentioned. How
ever this may be, the roll is a long and
painful one, and contains many names
whose owners have not only the plaudits
Of their own countrymen, but the admit
ration of the world-ChScGgo Inter-
ocean,

2S4,901 pounds for the same time last
year-an increase of over % per cent.
Their value is estimated at $4,000.
The Omaha Herald says that in 1860
the entire population of the Territory of
Nebraska, which then embraced large
portion of what is now Dakota, Wyoming,
and Colorado, was 2S,S41. Then there
was only three-eighths of human being
to each square mile of land-rather thin
settlement. But in 1870 the State of
Nebraska contained 122, 903 inhabitants,
making for its 10000 square miles of land
one soul and five-eighths of a soul OF
population to the square mile, not a
thictzly settled country yet, when we con-
slider that the five-eighths generally held
some local Office or went TO Congress.
To-day it thinks that the State has a
population of at least 100000.
