For the Exchanged
To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

Every now and then, in all COM
munities, occasion arises to call atten-
ton to the rules of etiquette. Almost
every one in these days, though he
may never have studied Lord Ches-
terfeld or any code of manners, has
intuitive knowledge of what is polite.
But some few people, either from
thoughtlessness, Indifference or inten-
ton, are guilty of such gross violations
of the usages of good society that all
who observe condemn them. There
is certainly no place where good
behavior is so requisite as in the house
of God, as that is the place where
reverence to him and respect for his
people is most apparent. Everybody
must know what is proper there, and
yet preachers and congregations are
interrupted by audible conversation
and tramping of heavy feet leaving
church during service. Nothing can
be more in accord with cultivated
manners than quiet and comely de-
meanor in church.
There is one other matter to which
we hesitate to call attention, as it is a
habit of which many refined gentlemen
are guilty. 1t is the abominable
practice of chewing tobacco and spit
ting on the floor. Ifgentlemen cannot
content themselves without a quid for
a short time at a place of general
assemblage, cannot some accommoda-
ton be provided for them? Cannot
some one invent pocket spittOOn, which
each can carry for his own convenience?
1t is slight consideration for olfactory
and auditory nerves (not to speak Of
ladies dresses that they should not
eject the disgusting mouthfuls Of am
bier "splash" on the floor. G.

1t is claimed that one thousand
oranges will be established in Georgia
by Jan. 1, 1879.
The grangers of Missouri are fol-
lowing those of Iowa in establishing
manufactures for agricultural imple-
mentS.
Marion, Alabama, is taking steps
towards having a cotton factory. The
granCers have the matter in hand, and
much interest is manifested.
The State Grange Of Nebraska Is
putting in machinery at Plattsmouth
for the manufacture of plows, cult
vators, headers, harvesters and other
agricultural implements. The build
ing is a two-story brick, 40 by 40
feet. Thirty heads of families are
employed to commence with. Steam
and blast power Of the necessary guam
tity will be furnished.
Up to the LIST of January there
were 325 oranges organized in Tennes-
see. Since that time the number has
been increased to 700. 1t is estimat-
ed that there will be not less than
from $4,000 to $4,000 grangers in
the State before next fall. The order
is experiencing a wonderfully rapid
growth, and it will soon be the case
that there will not be farmer in the
State who will not be a member of
some grange. The new constitution is
being generally adopted, the principal
objection being made to the time of
election of officers; those Directing
think their terms should commence
with the calendar year.
The Kansas State Grange, says the
Wathena Reporter, has refused to
recognize any paper as an official or
gan. This was a wise action. Should
any particular paper be designated as
such, others equally friendly to the
order, and conducted with as much
ability, would have reason to be ag-
grieved, and stop striving to advance
the cause of the Patrons. As it is
all will do their best, and it is much
better to have the influence of many
than but one.

In the exercise of conversational
powers, as in everything else, there is
happy mean, the attainment of
which should be the aim of every soci-
al individual. The difference between
garrulity and volubility, unnOticed by
casual Observers, is readily marked by
those who have studied human science
and chronological analysis. Abstractly
considered, the former implies mere
loquacity, and its noisy subjects often
display shameful amount of egotism,
falsity and ignorance, by which they
have acquired the enriqble reputation
of yarnas and legally obtained gassers
as fitting sobriquet. Such epithets
are opprobrious in the extreme, and
every one who values honor and We
racity viii carefully avoid a personal
application of either.
The ability to converse well does
not presuppose an intimate acquaint-
ance with your neighbor's affairs, nor
the power of dilating the faults of
others and, paradmg individual excel
lences.
Habit soon asserts itself as second
nature, and the tongue, so fluent where
the laws of probity are disregarded,
becomes palsied when circumstances
demand a simple statement of facts.
