The Devil Whisky.

Whisky is the devil that makes the
mischief wherever it is tolerated,
whether in America, Ireland or Scot
land. There are 200, 900, 900 of people
in Europe, outside of Great Britain and
Russia, who drink nothing stronger
than wine and beer and among all that
vast mass, outnumbering the population
of the United States five times, there is
less drunkenness and fewer arrests
made on charges of drunk and disor-
derby" than in the single city of Chi
cago, which contains not one fve-hun.
dredth of their population. This is an
absolute fact-a naked truth-which it
would be well for both liquor advocates
and prohibitionists to turn over in their
minds, digest well, and draw rational
conclusions therefrom. A crusade
against whisky as beverage would be
legitimate and benefcent war, which,
if crowned with success by the extirpa-
ton of the accused fluid from the
Union, would be a most inestimable
public blessing. AS a temperance
measure, the tax on whisky should be
quadrupled, while that on light wines
should be reduced to one-fourth of ex.

of the SANTANA Bay Company as follows
"This company commenced operations

and OF every step lizards of all colors
would bounce out of the grass, as well
as IL the houses. The company sold all
its old furniture, in the shape of desks
and chairs, early in June, and the only
thing that they now possess is small
steam-launch, going to decay, as nc
coal is there to run her, and no trade.
The SANTANA Bay Company is absolutely
defunct and forgotten there. It has left
nothing behind it upon which to build
monument, or scrap of ground that
it could call its own"

finance, assembled at Saratoga few
days ago and turned the screw still
tighter on the surplus crops of the
farmers of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North

increase estimated as high as q million,
or a million and half dollars, that it
will cost to market the farmers crop

A Thrilling Incident.

CURED on the eastward bound passen-
ger-train, recently, two miles east of
Rose creek, near Winnemucca, Cal.
The train was on heavy down grade,
going at high rate of speed. making
up for lost time, when the engineer.
Nick Cole, thought he saw an obstruc-
ton on the track, few yards ahead.
The locomotive whistled "down brakes"
the lever was reversed, and every effort
possible was made to stop the train,
which was under tremendous Roadway.
AS the train approached the spot the
object proved TO be human being w.
ing with his body directly across the
track. The man (for man it was) was
alive, fully conscious of his mortal peril,
but unable to move from his position.
He had pulled out his handkerchief as
a signal, however, and was waving it
with his hand. Thanks to the West
inghouse brakes and other means used,
the train was brought to a stand-still
when within a few yards of the helpless
man. The man was found to be PAL
alyzed, and was picked up, placed on
board the train and taken to Winnie
mucca, where he was provided for az
the hospital. He states that while
walking along the track he fell down,
completely paralyzed in his limbs and
body, and could not move himself an
inch. When he saw the train coming
he expected to be crushed to death, and
his feelings were too horrible to express.
He screamed, threw his hands mp fran
tically, and waved his handkerchief.

The Harvest Feasts of the Granges.

We have always looked upon social
and educational features of our order
as its most important and characteristic
advantages. We do not undervalue the
economic capabilities of the grange,

always attainable at present, to enable
us to largely avail ourselves of them

Pure Girls and Impure Bows.

Girls, in treating dissipated young
men as equals, do wrong that they
can scarcely realize. Such men should
be made to feel that until they redeem
themselves, until they walk with cor
rectness and honor in the path of right
good people will stand aloof from them.
Girls who respect themselves will not be
seen with such young men and will de.
cline to receive them on. the familia,
footing of friendship. 1t is a mistaken
kindness to poultice when caustic is
needed, and am inclined to think that
little sharp decision OH the part of the
girls of to-day would &c far to correct
the general looseness of morality among

TRUST HIM NOT.
If a man should come beside thee,
With a smooth and precious air.

If a man should come beside thee,
With smooth and precious air,
And condone the little evils
With voice all smooth and fair,
And with h0neyed accent show thee
Things, thou knowest are below thee,
Though he wear sanity garment,
Trust him NOT.
If man with guile or fiattery
Would instill into thy heart
Thoughts of self and selfish action,
To obscure the nobler part,
Let thy Judgment whisper to thee
He but seeketh to undo thee;
Though his praises be as nectar,
Trust him not.
If a man with hollow canting
Vaunteth much his own endeavor,
How he weeps because the world is
Full as wicked now as ever
BY his own soul tits he judgeth,
And his narrow mind begrudgeth
Heavens mercies to the many,
Trust him not.
If the tempter tell the pleasant
Is the path that you may tread
That the life we live is present,
With no future far ahead
IT'S, alas the same old story,
Told by Eve in Eden's glory,
Trust him not.
Every evil, great or little,
Soils the whiteness of thy soul
Flattering words, like hidden quicksands,
May thy spirit oyerroll-
And when canting overreaches,
Let him practice what he breaches,
1t is the lesson wisdom teaches,
Trust him not.
In the mine the gem is hidden:
There are pearls beneath the sea,
And many pretty flower
Blooms unnoticed on the lea.

Position of the Patrons of Husbandry.

The Patrons of Husbandry are not
opposed to railroads, or any other pub
lie institutions, as long as such institu-
tons are not used as implements of OPP
preston, But like men of all classes,
they will tolerate no robbery or OPP
preston, in any form, or under any
guise, without at least a strenuous eff.
fort to preserve their freedom. There
was day when it was a noble thing to
die in the cause of liberty. There was
a day when it was a noble thing to be
eternally vigilant, because liberty could
be preserved alone to the wide awake.
But to-day, when men cry out against
grasping monopolies and grinding rings,
they may expect to be Kissed at and
threatened with dire calamities. They
may expect to be blamed with
bringing about all the direct andinevita-
bic consequences of the petty,
as we'll as immense outrages that have
been perpetrated in the name of right
and under the sacred forms of law itself.
But why this constant cry against the
Patrons of Husbandry? 1t is part of
a game. 1t is the purpose of the men
who have grown fat off the people to
continue their course uninterrupted.
They do not want to come away from
their pleasant places, nor leave their
ill-gotten gains. They see that unless
they can cry down the great reform or
ganization their days are at an end.
Let them cry. But, Patrons, go ahead
with your organization. Perfect your
plans, multiply your numbers, and as
sure as right, when demanded by pow
er, shall prevail, your success will be
certain. Be not deferred by any reports
set ahoat to distract your counsel. Be
one in mind-one in purpose. Be ever
active and alert. Patron.

Monroe made the arrest in the presence
of the others. Gordon seemed calm
and self possessed, but asked if it was
another kidnapping affair. On being
assured it was not and hearing the nat

begged that he should not be taker
