Grange Notes and Items.

The Grangers are doing more TO
project and establish substantial en-
terprlses In connection with their or
CARNATIONS than all the efforts of leg
islation and capital have done hereto
fore. At Red Oak, Iowa, they pro-
pose the organization of a stock com
pany for establishing linseed oil
mill, to consume the large amount of
flax seed raised in that vicinity. We see
many instances of this kind every day
and hope that the good work NAV 90
on with redouhled energy.-T Omaha
Union.
a Patron says OF the results of the
organization in his neighborhood =
"The discussion of questions of prac-
tieal interest to Patrons, which form n
feature Of our Grange, is having y
tendency to develope not only Bet
ter manner of expressing ourselves.
but greater willingness to make the
effort. Great improvement has already
been observed i'm even the little D rae
tlce we have thus far had"

A City Paved With Silver and Gold.

The principal streets of Virginia City,
Nevada, being macadamized with re-
fuse ore taken from the mines in early
days, and being coated with the rich ore
that has been year after year sifted
down upon them from the ore wagons,
are now everywhere more or less argen-
tiferous. Indeed, says the Enterprise
newspaper OF that town. there is not the
slightest stretch of imagination in say
ing that we never take step in the
town but we arc walking on silver-that
our streets are literally paved with silver.
While speaking of this fact day or two
since, young man bet his friend the
price of the assaying and the "cigars ;"
that he would take lump of mud off
of the wheel of bus then standing be-
fore them, and would get out Of it
precious metals to the value of over $5
per ton. An ounce or two Of mud was
taken from the wheel of the vehicle and
placed in the hands of an assayer, who
was not told where the sample was. OBJ
tained, and who no doubt supposed that
he was dealing with decomposed ore or
vein matter from one of our mines. The
assay was made, and the assayer's GER
tificate showed that the sample contained
silver, 1854; gold, 1892; total, 1886.
After this we may put on airs, even
though our streets are villainously
muddy occasionally, for the very mud on
our boots contains both silver and gold
not the vulgar mud of the "cow
county" towns. Hts

Slightly above the middle size, his
figure, though spare, was handsome and
commanding, the chest broad and open,
the bones and framework large, the joints
well knit together. His hcad-unusu-
ally large-gave space for broad and
noble brow. The hair-thick, jet black,
and slightly curling-fell down over his
ears. The eyebrows were arched and
joined; the countenance thin, but ruddy.
His large eyes, intensely black and
piercing, received additional lustre from
their long, dark eyelashes. The nose
was high, and slightly aquiline, but fine,
and at the end attcnuated. The teeth
were set apart. A long, black, bushy
beard, reaching to the breast, added
manliness and presence. His expression
was pensive and contemplative. The
face beamed with intelligence, though
something of the sensuous might also be
descerned. His broad back leaned
slightly forward as he walked, and his
step was hasty, yet sharp and decided,
like that of one rapidly descending a
declivity. There was something un-
settled in his blood.sfot eye, which re-
fused to rest upon its object, When he

How Lad Wheeled Himself Into For
tune and Influence.

At meeting of the stockholders of a
prominent railway corporation, recently
held in Boston, there was present two
gentlemen, both up in years, one, how
ever, considerably the senior of the other.
In talking of the old times gone by, the
young gentleman called the attention of
his friends, and told pleasant little
story, which should be read by every
poor, industrious, and striving lad. We use
his own language:
Nearly half century ago, gentle
men, was put upon the world to make
my own living. / was stout, willing, and
able, considering my tender years, and
secured a place in a hardware store, to do
all sorts of chores required. was paid
seventy-five dollars per year for my ser
vices. One day, after l had been at work
three months or more, nay friend there,
Mr.. B., who holds his age remarkably
well, came into the store and bought a
large bill of shovels and tongs, sadirons
and pans, buckets, scrapers, and scuttles,
for he was to be married next day, and
was supplying his household in advance,
as was the groom's custom in those days.
The articles were packed in the barrow,
and made load sufficiently heavy for a
young mule. But, more willing than
able, l started of, proud that ! could
move such mass on the wheelbarrow. !
got on remarkably well until / struck the
mud road, now Seventh avenue, leading
to my friend BIS house. There l toiled
and tugged, and tugged and toiled, and
could not bulge the load up the hill, the
wheel going its full halfdiameter in the
mud every time l would try to propel
forward. Finally good-natured Irish
man passing with dray took my barrow,
self and all, on his vehicle, and in con-
sideration of my promise to pay him a
"bit," landed me at my destination.
"Icounted the articles carefully as de-
livered them, and, with my. empty bar
row. trudged my way back, whistling with
glee over my triumph over my difficulty.
Some weeks afterward l paid the Irish
man the bit and never got it back from
my employers. (Mr. B., lam sure would
have remunerated me, but he never be-
fore heard this story; so if he is inclined
he can compromise the debt by sending
me bushel of his rare ripe peaches next
falD. But to the moral. A merchant
had witnessed my struggles and how
zealously / labored to deliver that load
ofhardware he even watched me to the
house and saw me count each piece as /
landed it in the doorway. He sent for
me the next day, asked my name, told
me he had a reward for my industry,in the
shape of five hundred dollar clerkship
in bis establishment. 1 accepted, and
now, after nearly half century has
passed, look back and say / wheeled
myself into all own, for that reward of
perseverance was my grand stepping
stone to fortune"
The speaker was very wealthy
banker, a man of influence, of position,
and one universally respected for many
good qualities of head and heart. Boys,
take moral from this story. You do
not know how many eyes are upon you to
discover whether you are sluggish and
careless or Industrious and willing, or
how many there are who, if you are
moral and worthy, will give you step
ping-stone to wealth and position

II invigorates the skin and promotes

If you have been picking or handling
acid fruits and have stained your hands,
wash them in clear water, wipe them
lightly, and, while they are yet moist,
strike match and shut your hands
around it so as to catch the smoke, and
the stain will disappear.
AT late meeting of the Presbyterian
Synod of Colorado, all that portion of
the Presbytery of Wyoming east of the
summit Of the main range of the Rocky
mountains, with the churches of Lara
mie, Rawlins and Cheyenne, were placed
in the Presbytery of Colorado, and the
name of the Wyoming Presbytery
changed to Utah.
A GEORGIA farmer says that he has
found that diversified agriculture pays
him best. He had twenty-five acres in
turnips. His premium crop produced
1852 bushels, but the average was 1000
bushels per acre. He planted two
pounds Of seed per acre, three feet apart,
on clover sod. He used 200 pounds
of South Carolina phosphates and 1000
bushels of stable manure. he broke up
the ground ten inches deep and turned
over the sod in June. He found clover
and cow peas excellent fertilizers.
PERHAPS the very best dish of pre-
pared apples for the table is to bake slow
ly, with Just heat enough not to break
the skin. When done, lay open and re-
move the core; sprinkle with sugar, gran
ulated is best, and work sugar and pulp
together; work to a fine consistency,
which few strokes Of the spoon will;
then close the skin upon it and lay away
to cool; it ought to be eaten cold. An
Esopus Spitzenburg is the best fruit for
it, and the best time for it is about the
holidays.
THE following simple method for ven-
tilating ordinary sleeping and dwelling
rooms is recommended by Mr.. Hinton in
his physiology for Practical use." ga
piece of wood three inches high and ex-
actly as long as the breadth of the win
dow, is to be prepared. Let the sash be
now raised, the slip of wood placed on the
sill, and the sash drawn closely upon it.
If the slip has been well fitted there will
be no draft in consequence of the dis
placement of the sash at its lower part;
but the top of the lower sash will over
lap the bottom of the upper one, and be-
tween the two bars perpendicular cur
rents of air, hot felt, will enter and leave
the room"
