So fine, so subtle, 80 imponderable, it

PATRONS Of HUSBANDRY.

a New Orange Organized in Isoslon-
The Or:lor Of ''sovorcixns of Hus-
bandry."
A new Grange of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry has been formed in Boston. in
opposition to that of tho merchants
and business men, known as the State
Street Grange, and about which there
has been so much controversy. The
new Grange is composed of agricul-
tural producers of Boston and vicinity.
and, as organized on Friday includes
but thirteen men. These, however.
are men Of posi- tion and strength, each
one of whom takes the oath that he is
a representative agricultural producer.
MIR. Noyes, the proprietor of the Massa-
chusetts Plowman, is the secretary, aad
the prime mover in the undertaking.
At the meeting Friday tho following
resolutions were adopted:
Resolued, That We stand by and protect. nv
individual aud organized effort, tho asricui-
tural producing industry OF New England
and the country, and that VIC recognize the
necessity OF organized effort to secure 10 the
agricultural producer full equivalent for his
productions.
Resolued, That while we mako no warfare
upon any class OF men, we deny to tho middle.
men the right to take the lions share OF profit.
and that it shall be our determined effort to
bring the consnmer and producer in the
nearest proximity, and thus secure to each "a
advantage which il now lost to both.
Two other resolutions were adopted.
declaring that the grange would pros
eoute this work with unwearied dill.
gence, and expressing belief that the
meeting of the National Grange in st.
Louis, the first week in February, will
pronounce policy not only in har-
mony with the interests of the Ameri.
can farmer, but which will commend
itself to the great American public as
wise, efficient and just.
Deputy Abbott having got the work

SIX MILLIONS. two years AGO.
DR.. J. WALKER, an old and prominent
of California, discovered, by
actual experience upon his own sys-
TEN, medicine which may honestly be
termed "a boon to suffering humani-
w. Being combination of herbal
istio extracts, pungent and sour to the
taste, and yet possessed of gentle
stimulative characteristics- although
entirely free from alcoholic named
it VINEGAR B1rrERs, and despite the
prejudice existing among his profess
sion, against all patented medicines,
he determined to brave the ieers of his
brother practitioners, and give to suf
fering humanity the benefit of his acct.
dental discovery. He did so, and the
benefits from it's use became known.
The demand increased, and immense
quantities were sold, at merely nomi-
nal price. Its merit is told in the fact
that "in two years over SIX MILLIONS of
bottles have been sold;" and still the
demand increases. Surely such a man
should be ranked among the benefac-
tors OF the human race Com.

their share of material wealth, they
have, in most instances, suffered from

The Water Supply Of Windsor Castle,

A new system of water supply and
drainage has just been completed at
Windsor Castle. All the sewerage is
removed to a considerable distance
from the castle, and applied tor pur-
poses Of irrigation; the water is also
brought from afar, and yet this is all
effected without the expenditure of u
single ounce of coal, the only agent
used being the water of the Thames
and a turbine wheel. The force thus
gained pumps the water from the
neighboring we'll to all parts of the
Castle in which it is required-in one
instance to height of 274 feet. The
superfuous power Of the turbine is APP
piled to work machine for condensing
air, which is passed to distance of 500
yards through pipes, and there. by its
expansion, works the sewer pumps. By
an ingenious continuance the whole of
this last apparatus is made to start and
stop itself according rs the level III the
sewage reservoir is above or below a
certain point.

In fine, as the above shows, the
whole iron-clad fleet of England can
enter the harbor of New York az far as

cerned. Moreover, the ships would
not be weighted to the degree named
in the table. On arriving ut New York
their stores of coal would be exhaust

ers for evolutions during the attack,
and for returning to Canada, soy the
port OF st. John or to the Bermudae.
This lessening of their coal, would, of
course, materially affect their draught,
and enable them to glide over our bar
with ease and with safety. The two
most formidable vessels of the
English Navy, the Thunderer
and Devastation, draw, when they
are fully equipped, but twenty-six
and half feet of water. With but
four or five hundred tons OF coal in
their bunkers on entering New York
harbor, they would draw only between
twenty.four and twenty-five feet, and
no one who knows our bar would say
they could not, so far as draught is
concerned, readily cross it. These YES
sells, it must he borne in mind, were
built with special reference to crossing
the Atlantic, and not without careful
regard to the harbor of New York, into
which our English friends did not deny
to themselves they might some day be
called upon to force an entrance. The
British naval authorities were not so
foolish, as Capt. Ericsson says in his
telegram TO Mr.. Cox, as to build YES
sells incapable of crossing the bar of
the very harbor intended to BEEN
