said within himself. "Though 1 fear not

The primary meaning Of Grange IL gran

meaning is farm with ito complement Of

word 10 the one upon which we build the
notion Of our social and cooperative insti-
tuition. AZ on wsll.rsgulatsd farm W
need cooperation in its labor and In the
care OF Ito products, 90 In our socisl life
No need the rsciprooation Of kind offices,
and mutual care. to tighten tho burden OF
earthly existence.
We think Ne are taking tho right view Of
farm life, and farm labor is the most an
oient and honorable Of oil secular employ
ments. 10 this conclusion No are impelled
by two considerations First, it WAS pro-
jeoted in the garden Of Eden, and God was
the author Of the programme, that "the
man should dress it, and keep it," and.
second, out of the earth BY farm labor, has
to come the sustenanoe of tho countless
myrisds of civilized society.
So, then, the farm is not . new institu-
ton. 1t Was from the beginning and Ito
utility is still going on with q cumulative
increase, - the feoundity VI the race 10

our social position, standing 1t the head of
all civilized, and elevated forms Of human
life, We are forming ourselves into social
compact, for mutual improvement, In order
that We may not detract from the nstivs
dignity Of our calling, that W may reoog-
nice among ourselves the honor and excel
lenoe of farm labor, and to demand Of our
fellow men tho simple justice We are SO
willing to recognise in cir behalf. We
are taught to look upon all lsboring me-
ohsnics q fellow hslpers in supporting the

rate their merits or defraud them Of their

1NTEREsTING.--The Census Marshal
Of Spanishtown, while going his rounds
lately to ascertain the number of child
ren in his district entitled by law to draw
school money, called at house where
he found the lady in charge busily at
work attending her household affairs, and
put the usual question as TO whether there
was any children residing there. The
lady answered that there was; ; and in
answer to further inquiries, informed the
Marshal that she had six Of them, the
Oldest Of whom was four years, and that
she had been married five. years. She
showed the censustaker three pair Of
twins who were gamboling and frisking
about in an adjoining room. To say that
the Marshal was very much astonished
but poorly expressed the state of his feel
ings. He left the house with an inward
conviction that Spapishtown could boast
a tree whose supply Of fruit was more
bountful for its age than any other in
the State.-Sdn Md:e0 Times.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

We have received, with the compli-
ments of the author, a pamphlet entitled
"The New Education" appended TO
which is the Memorial of the California
State Grange and Mechanics Delibera-
tive Assembly, which was addressed to
the Legislature Of California. We do not
recognize the author, who writes over the
signature Of Columella," but he is a
vigorous writer, and his pamphlet, com
ing just at this juncture, when public at
iention is directed to University matters
by the re cent action of the Regents with
reference to the Agricultural Professor
ship, will awaken inquiry whether the
institution, with its magnificent endow-
ments, is being conducted in the interests
of the few or Of the many.
We have no desire to disparage the ad-
vantagos ard value Of a classical educa-
ton. But, to quote from the Placer ar
gus, where there is one young man or
woman in the State who is able to afford
such an education, and expect to devote
their lives to the literary or professional
pursuits in which it will be of value, there
are hundreds, who above all things ought
to have the sound practical ira ming; that
will fit them for the every day pursuits Of
life" The education Of the hour must
be such MS is adapted to the requirements
Of the hour. Congress has recognized
this fact, and has, by liberal cndowments
in behalf Of schools and colleges for cdu-
cation in Agricultural pursuits, shown a
desire to meet one Of the growing wants
Of the country. Agriculture in this State
is now being conducted on ruinous prin-
ciples. The sole aim Of the majority of
those employed in agricultural pursuits
/ seems to be, TO extract the greatest pos
sible present yield from the soil, and give
nothing in exchange. Under this miser-
able system some OF the best lands of the
State are already exhausted while the
State is yet only in its infancy. With
the increasing experience of years we are
slowly learning the extent of our agricul-
tural capacities. We are learning that
in the diversified soil and climate which we
have within our borders, there are but
few of the agricultural industries of eth
er the Old or New World but can be
successfully followed here. With the in
creased development Of our agricultural
/ resources, new manufactures and increas-
ed commercial intercourse will naturally
follow. These are great results, and can
only be brought about by the aid Of intel
ligent minds, for mere physical strength
will count for but little unless directed by
scientific agricultural knowledge.
We trust the discussion of this subject
will continue, believing that good will re-
suit from it. At present the manage
ment Of the University is attracting pub
/ lie attention, and the course of the Re
gents in dcposing Professor Carr, is a
matter Of unfavorable comment. 1t is
said, (and there is n spice Of sarcastic JUS
tice in the remark), that some of the Re
gents owe their position to the possession
Of wealth rather than brains If such be
the case, the management of the insttu-
ton will require little legislative over
hauling, and until that can be had the
people must bide their time.
