About HydrOphObia.

In bis late work on the &c Influence
of the Mind upon the Body" DR.. Luke
supports the hypothesis that hydro
phobic symptoms are often developed
without previous inoculation. In illus
tration, he relates a notable instance of
a physician Of Lyons, who, having as
sisted in the dissection of several VIC
Tins of the disorder, imagined that he
himself had become inoculated. On at
tempting to drink, he was seized with
spasm Of the pharynx, and in this con-
dition roamed about the streets for
three days. At length his friends sue
ceeded in convincing him of the ground
lessness of his apprehension, and he at
once recovered. DR.. Marx, a German
physician, writing to the Clinic, re-
CARDS hydrephobia as morbid affec-
ton of the imagination induced by fear,
and, In support of his opinion, cites
some interesting cases which persons
unaware of the superstition have es-
capped the spasm-

Cushing's Vitality.

Why, Caleb Cushing is not more than
half as old as DR.. Graham, and DR.. Ora

the young rascals in Louisville who

air of bathrooms, billiard-rooms and

Caleb Gushing win never die. They are
sprung from the same generic stratum,

apprehensions in that direction. Caleb
Gushing viii live to write an obituary
notice of his old friend Ben Butler, and
to pronounce superb eulogium over

of himself, a perpetual legacy to the
American people, surviving the ravages

How the Changers are Purifying the

How the Changers are Purifying the
State.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 26.-In no State
have the results of this movement been
more surprising in none, certainly, has
there been a more crying need of re-
form. In proportion to population and
resources, no State exceeds Kansas in
the power of its monopolies, and in the
political influence of its great corpora
tons. Nowhere has this power been
more effectively and unscrupulously
employed for the control of legislation.
In the light of past developments, it is
scarcely necessary to add that we may
fairly claim precedence in political cor
ruption, as in many other respects.
There has long been a widespread
feeling that some check must be put
upon these corporate Influences ; that
the undoubted right of the State to con-
troll them must be exercised In the in
terest of its citizens and that their IA
cilities for shaping and thwarting legis-
lation must be curtailed. This preva-
lent sentiment has hitherto failed of its
purpose through the want of organized
and united action. Indeed, 'Anti-
Railroad" majorities have frequently
been chosen to the Legislature /; but
they have generally turned out to be the
most abject servitors of the railroads.
Whenever any restraining legislation
has been perfected, it has signally failed
of execution, and has remained dead
letter on the statute books. A law of
the State at this hour fixes the rate
of fare at a certain maximum figure,
and makes it a misdemeanor for any
railway officer to receive any sum In ex-
cess. Yet that statute has been entirely
desregarded. More than that, legisla-
ton has been shaped especially to en-
courage railroad companies to resist and
delay the payment of taxes.
More offensive, if not more injurious,
consequences have followed the open and
shameless interference In our elections,
great and small, popular and Legislative.
To the active interposition of the rail-
way-strikers our municipalities owe
much of the burden of bonded indebt-
edness which is crushing them, amount
ing in the aggregate to $13, 900, or
81, 600, 900 more than all the roads of
| the State are valued at under our in
| famous Railroad Assessment law.
How to correct these and other glar-
ing evils has long been the conundrum
with which our people have wrestled. It
has been solved. TheGrangers have fur
nished the remedy. The State Grange
was organized only last year, and al
ready its ramifcations extend through
every section of the State. Nearly ], 900
subordinate Oranges are in operation.
In the canvass of last fall, quietly, with
out the blowing of trumpets, and in the
face of the ridicule of the entire party
press, the Changers organized their
forces, marched to the polls, and elect
ed the Legislature, if not an absolute
anti-Republican majority, at least SO
nearly so as to assure the accomplish
ment of much beneficial Legislation. If
this anticipation shall prove illusory,
there will be no room for doubt as to
the composition of the merit Legisla-

Growth of the Order-The state Agency
and the Purchasing System-What Has
Been Accomplished.
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. Although
to Minnesota belongs the honor of
leading off in the grange movement, il
was not until last year that the infu-
ence of the order began to be felt, and
systematic effort was made to reap
some of the benefits that it was designed
to confer upon the producing class. AT
meeting of the Executive Committee
that year, j. S. Denman, of Winona,
was appointed State Agent for the pur-
chase of agricultural machinery and
such other supplies as might be desired
by members of the order. That gentle
man at once opened a correspondence
with manufacturers throughout the
country, and took other steps to estab-
lsh purchasing system from first
hands. Unfortunately opposition to the
action of the Executive Committee in
making the appointment arose in the
order, but happily this was removed by
the full State Grange indorsing both the
Office and appointee. Mr.. Denman has
now made his headquarters at Winona,
where he has a warehouse and yards
covering an entire block of ground. He
is paid per cent. on all purchases, not
to exceed 81, 800 per annum, all received
over that amount to be turnedo over to the
treasury of the State Grange. For a
faithful discharge of the duties of his
Office he has given bonds in the sum of
sos, 900. The plan OF purchases en-
braces local agents appointed by the
County Councils. These local agents
solicit orders in their respective coun-
ties for machinery, dry goods, groceries,
etc., being allowed commission of 5
per cent. They are also allowed to take
orders tor parties outside the order,
charging them an additional 5 per cent.
These local agents have arrangements
for purchasing dry goods, groceries, etc. i,
at wholesale prices. There are also
grange stores In most of the chief
county towns, elected by the County
Council, at which members can pur-
chase at reduction from regular prices
Orders for machinery are sent to the
State Agent, through whom all such
purchases are to be made. He has al
ready contracted for furnishing all kinds
Of farm machinery at an average dis
count from the ruling prices of last sea-
son of 334 per cent. In this arrange
ment is not included, the Marsh and
Edward Harvesters, the Mccormack and
Champion Reapers, and number of
Illinois manufactured plows, heretofore
largely used in the State, but it is

A HindOO Story.

A tiger proving in forest was at
tracted by bleating calf. 1t proved to
be bait, and the tiger found himself
trapped In spring cage. There he lay
for two days, when Brahmin happened
to pass that way. 80 Brahmin 7" pite-
ously cried the beast, shave mercy on
me let me out of this cage" "Ah !
but you viii eat me-" "Eat you de-
your my benefactor Never could / be
guilty of such deed" responded the
tiger. The Brahmin, being benevolent
ly inclined, was moved by these en-
treaties, and opened the door of the
cage. The tiger walked up to him,
wagged his tail, and said Brahmin,
prepare to die !; shall now eat you.
"Oh, how ungrateful how wicked am
not your savior ?" protested the trem-
bling priest. True" said the tiger,
every true but it is the custom of my
race to eat man when we get chance,
and / can not afford to let you go.
LET us submit the case to an arbitra-
sor," said the Brahmin. "Here comes
a fox. The fox is wise let us abide by
his decision" "Very well, I" replied the
tiger. The fox, assuming judicial as
pect, sat ON his launches with all the
dignity he could muster, and looking at
the disputants, he said "Good friends,
i am somewhat confused at the different
accounts which you give of this matter
my mind is not clear enough to render
equitable judgment, but If you viii be
kind enough to act the whole transaction
before my eyes, I shall attain unto q
more definite conception of the case.
Do you, Mr. Tiger, show me just how
you approached and entered the cage,
and then YOU, Mr.. Brahmin, show me
how You liberated him, and shall be
able to render proper decision They
assented, for the fox was solemn and
oracular. The tiger walked into the
cage, and the spring door fell and shut
him in He was prisoner. The judi
c;al expression faded from the fox's
countenance, and turning to the Brah-
min, he said +" I advise you to go home
as fast as you can, and abstain, In flu
ture. from doing favors to rascally
tigers. Good morning, Brahmin; good
morning, tiger"

claimed that equally good machines will
be furnished at this reduction. On
sewing machines still larger reduction
has been secured, machines that retailed
last year at S65 being supplied through
the agency at $50. Last year it is esti-
mated there was paid out in this State,
for farm machinery alone, in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 600. All this pur-
chased through the agency, at the dis
count stated, and we have q saving 10
the purchasers, the producing class, of
over 81, 100000.
While the plans for purchasing ma
chinery and supplies seem to have been
arranged so as to produce the best re-
suits to the purchaser, but little has as
yet been done to enable the producer to
get by the warehousemen and station
agents in getting his produce to market.
Some few warehouses have been erected,
and still few others leased by Gran.
gers, who operate them through one of
their number, but this plan of opera
tions has neither been in operation long
enough, or become general enough, to
judge intellgently of its results. One
of these agents reports gain to those
operating through him of from 3 to 8
cents bushel on wheat, made by sell
ing direct to the Milwaukee and Chica-
go operators, and shipping direct in
through cars. This, however, may be
an exceptional case, and, therefore, it is
hardly just to Judge of future results by
the experiment in this direction. The
matter of manufactures is also attract
ing much attention in grange circles,
though as yet but little has been done
in this direction. On the Streight river
near Faribault, Rice county, an eight
run Touring mill was built last season
by an Incorporated company of Patrons.
There are also two or three smaller
grange mills in other localities, and still
others are contemplated another season.
OF the workings of these mills no re-
ports have been made. The benefit to
accrue to the Changers, however, is cas-
lily deducible, it being a well-estab-
lshed fact that our millers, while pay
ing from to cents more per bushel
for wheat than agents for Eastern pur-
chasers, are uniformly prosperous.
With both the profits, that of the mil
Ter, and the increased price realized fol-
his wheat, the Granger must reap q
good return from his investment. The
subject of starting an agricultural ma
chine mandatory in the State has been
under consideration among leading
members of the order, and it is not i'm.
probable that the initiative of such 9
movement will soon be taken.
HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE.
The order in this State was never in 6
more dourishing condition than now
Reports show that new oranges are be.
ing organized at the rate of about two
per week, and many new members are
being added to old ones. Much of this
success is due to Secretary Paist, elect.
ed Secretary on the organization of the
State Grange, and continually up to the
present time he has, by his prompt re-
spouse to those desiring information
and his zeal in promoting the interest:
of the order, and in forming new
oranges. exerted powerful influence
for good.

An operate Troupe in High Feather.

An operate Troupe i'm High Feather.
An extraordinary public entertain
ment has been produced in Lima, Peru,
by an Italian named Contarini, who pro-
poses to carry his exhibition to Europe.
He has taught and trained, by dint of
great patience and perseverance, an
opera company, made mp of thirty par
rots and paroquets, who perform two of
Bellini's operas, Norma" and "Son-
nambula," on a miniature stage, with
full chorus and recitative. The direc-
tor and manager accompanies the ar
lists on q piano-harmonium, and the
perfection with which each bird sings
his part and the excellence of the chorus
are prodigious. The debut of this
lyrico-ornithological company in "Nor-
ma" vas attended by the wealth and
fashion of Lima. When the parrot that
sang the contralto finished the allegro
Ia the "Salutation to the Moon" such
was the enthusiasm, the shouting, and
the applause at hearing bird sing the
"Casta Diva" that the bird company,
affrighted, took flight and sought refuge
among the side-scenes. This inter-
rupted the performance for fully a
quarter of an hour, and Signor Con-
tarini had to tranquillize the "artists'
by giving them bread soaked in wine.
Thenceforth the expressions of appro-
baton were moderated, in order not to
spoil the play. 1t aprears that the bird
artists have now become accustomed to
the applause. The correctness and
propriety with which they give certain
parts of the opera are wonderful. The
primo tenore possesses all the airs and
graces of the school of Mario, and the
ladies of Lima have named the prima
donna Patti.

ing fashionable.
DRESS so that none will remember
what you wear.
BoNNErs are undergoing decided
change, and change for the better.
GUIpURE lace squares for the neck
are pretty finish to house dresses.
FASHIONABLE modistes predict that
the polonaise is "booked for another
season.
TARLETANE is no longer used for eve
ming toilettes. Nobody appears to be
sorry.
A TEMPORARY fashion was that of dis
carding corsets. Very few ladies had
the courage to conform to it, we think
IT is subject of frequent comment
that New York ladies wear less jewelry
this season than for many years past.
LEATHER muffs have been introduced
this winter, and to some extent are
fashionable among would-be conspicuous
young ladies.
1T is quite the correct thing among
the ultra fashionable ladies to wear
miniature bows of bright colored ribbon
in the hair.
THE new Grecian head bands are of
jet or ivory, cut something in the bat
Element style, and are intended to sur
mount the coronet braid
THE beautiful and expensive silver
fox fur is now so cleverly initiated In
every way that even experts are puzzled
to detect the genuine.
The enormous fans used early in the
season for dress occasions has been SUI
perseded by the Pompadour," taking
its shape from the name.
SCANT skirts prevail for the streets.
This fashion does we'll enough for q
time with ladies of good figure, but an
old or passe woman in the garb looks
absolutely disgusting.
A WREATH of small buds forms the
sole face trimming of the bonnets most
recently imported from Paris. The
color of the buds should correspond
with the complexion of the wearer.
VELVET picture frames-which have
long been In use abroad-are coming
into use here. Artists assert that they
detract from the beauty of painting,
and are only suitable to frame portraits.

Spread of the Farmers Movement i'm the

SCHOOLGIRL, Mich, Jan. 27.-Thers
are in the State of Michigan at present
about 5000 members of the order of
Patrons of Husbandry, divided into
about 200 local oranges, the average
membership of each being IS. The or
der is comparatively new in the State,
but has made rapid progress since its
first organization. There are two State
Deputies engaged in The organization OF
local oranges, who are working in
the eastern part of the State, organizing
from ten to dozen oranges weekly.
As yet the grange has not been felt in
politics. OF course politics are foreign
to the purposes of the organization, but
of course there are questions of public
policy on which the Changers will have
a common interest, such as the regula-
ton of rates of transportation on rail-
roads and other kindred matters. On
these the Changers will probably unite.
Arrangements are now in process of
perfection by which the State Agent
will open warehouses for the acconlmo-
dation of members. lie will be author
lied to sell produce left with him, and
after deducting a small commission, will
be able to return larger price to the
producer than could be obtained from
the middlemen. He is also to purchase
agricultural and domestic machinery
from the manufacturers, from whom a
considerable reduction is expected. The
Patrons will thus receive their imple-
ments at wholesale rates, effecting a
saving on some articles of from 20 to 33
per cent. There is also some talk of
establishing number of grist mills and
agricultural implement manufactures in
the State, to be under the watch and
care of the Patrons.
Altogether the Patrons are making
considerable progress, and at no DIS
tant day they win be power in the
land.
The address of Worthy Master Brown
befors the State Grange was a very able
effort, full of good thoughts, encourage
ment, and sound advice. He alluded in
glowing terms to the growth of the or
der, which he gave in detail. He dwelt
upon the advantages of associated labor.
He said there must have been some
recognized necessity for this movement,
which has made its growth so rapid, so
unprecedented. The spread of the prin-
ciples of the order amounted to an up
rising of the people-the agricultural
people-who recognized in the move
ment want which had leng been felt
but unexpressed. He alluded to the
transportation and other questions. He
said that here in Michigan the farmers
had, perhaps, little to complain of, but
our sister States of the West had been
under the domination of monopolies !;
and he believed it was our duty to aid
Our brother, everywhere. He believed
that the created should not be greater
than the creator that the source of all
laws were the people, and they are the
ones to make regulations in respect to
commerce, etc. He recommended that
the delegate elected to the National
Grange be instructed to do all In his
power to bring about certain-named
changes In the constitution OF the Ma
tional Grange, and recommended va
