Grange Librariee.

We notice that many Of the Grange
papers are agitating the question Of
Grange Libraries. This is move in
the right direction, and if carried out
successfully will render the Grange a
very useful educator. There is no
Grange SO poor that beginning cannot
be made at once. In the first place
the standard works on agriculture
should be secured. These vail give the
members an opportunity, at little cost,
to post themselves thoroughly in the
theory Of farming. After these works
are secured, as your pockets will allow,
procure the best works on science and
literature. Make your library some
thing to be proud Of. Interest you,
children in its pages, and you have, If
little time, valuable educator. A
small monthly tax on each member vii
soon accomplish all this. We hope tn;
library question will not be allowed t
sleep until every Grange in lthis broae
| land has full shelves OF standard books

Disaster ut New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 1.-THE regular
lower coast packet Empire, Captain
Jeanfreau, sunk to her texas aboEt 4
o clock this msrning, at her landing,
foot Of Cont street.
The Empire arrived about 1880 AN.
heavily loaded with sugar, molasses,
rice, etc. Several passengers left the
boat upon arrival, otherwise the loss Of
life would have been very large. As it
is, fourteen passengers and many Of the
Grew are believed to be. drowned.
Five bodies have been recovered, in
Guiding the Captains eldest daughter,
about II years Of age, and Mr.. Frisbie,
well known plantation engineer. Capt.
Jeanfreau lost four children, but saved
his wife and baby who, with him, were
sleeping in the texas.
D. R. Perrett, passenger, who es-
capped from the sinking steamer, gives
his opinion that the boat was over
loaded and parted in her center. The
Empire was built at Alg rs about three
years ago, ond was owned by the En-.
pire Parish Packet company. and valued
at about thirty thousand dollars.
She had on board about l60 hogs
heads Of sugar besides large number
Of barrels of molasses and Quantity d
rice.
1t is impossible At present to get the
actual number Of lives lost,as the book;
and papers of the boat are under the
texas.

Extensive Frauds in the Grain Trade

a system Of swindling, which has
been going on for years with respect to
thu grade of wheat known as Chicago
No. 2, has been exposed. For long
time the quality of that grade as re.
ceived at New York has not compared
favorably with the corresponding class
received from other points Of the West.
Accompanying the shipment of all
wheat from the West to that market
goes a certificate from the inspectors
and weighers Of the points from which
the wheat has been shipped, vouching
for the quality of the articles according
to their several standards. But these
certificates are not solely relied upon
East, and instead of allowing them to
take the place Of samples, the grain it.
self is sampled by the buyer in the
market, and paid for on its merits.
No good reason could be found for
the disparity of prices between the
Chicago Ne. ? and the same grade from
other points, but suspicious were ex-
cited that . swindle existed somewhere
in the handling of wheat either at Chi
cago or some places betev en- there and
New York.
The President Of the international
Elevators ct New York, corporation
whose duty it Is to sample all lots ar
irving there, wrote to the Chief Inspec-
tor at Chicago for samples as graded
here. On receiving them he Was sur
priscd to ind that the No. 2, as IN
spected out Of Chicago, was vastly su-
perion to the same grade a. it arrived
at New York. Nothing has boen de-
livered from the Chicago warehouses as
No. 2 but that which is strictly up to
sample. The mixture has been done at
some intermediate point. probably at
Buffalo, but the exact persons who
have perpetrated rhe crime cannot be
designated.
It rs not New York buyers who suf'
fer from this fraudulent practice OF the
niddlemen. The loss falls on the West
ern farmer whose wheat is graded by a
severe test at Chicago, bat it sold at
price fixed upon the value Of the de-
preciated article as it arrives at New
York. Out of how many millions
Western farmers have been choused b.
this fraud we cannot pretend to calcu
