A new remedy for consumption has
been founder at least the doctors
think so at this moment-in the transfu-
sion of the blood of animals. In France
TRANSMISSION has always been performed
from man to man, but while it has
been found easy for men to give up
their blood for money, while enjoying the
eclat of an experiment in crowded am
phitheatre, among the applause of hum
dreds of students, good Samaritans are
rare in private life. A medical man
was unable to find any one ready to sell
his life's blood to young lady until he
made romantic appeal, and in the case
of an aged man it was quite impossible.
But Dr. 0. Hesse, of St. Petersburg, says
that human blood is not absolutely neces-
sary. He has performed the operation
of TRANSMISSION thirty-one times. In six
teen of his cases defbrinated blood was
Employed practice generally con-
demned. In the remaining fifteen cases
the blood of sheep was used. There was
one death, in three other cases there was
no perceptible improvement, in the re-
naming eleven cases there was marked
improvement throughout, and in some
cases perfect cures. DR.. Hesse hopes to
prove that he can cure pulmonary phthisia
in this way. DIR. Gedellices has tried
the TRANSMISSION of sleeps blood IN two
cases. In one there was great improve
nnent, and in the other complete cure.

The Holly Springs South, edited by
Hon. j. w. c. Watson, one of the ablest
lawyers and politicians of the State, in
its issue Of the Both ult., comes out in an
article upon the inexpediency of forming
party in this State based on color
Among Mississippi's great men, there is
not one that is truer to the South or his
State than Hon. j. w. q. Watson, and
his council is entitled to thoughtful
consideration. The following is an extract
from the article alluded to:
''In the second place it is not iudicious,
because in at least three of the Southern
States the negroes are in constantly
increasing majority, and to organize
parties on the basis of color is. to remit
those States to the indefinite control of
the African race, and unfortunately one
of these unhappy States is our own.
Nor is it judicious even in States and
counties where there is a white majority,
because if successful there, it must recoil
with frightful effect in less favored locali-
ties.
The common answer to our position is
that the negroes are already banded to-
gether into black mans party, and that
it is therefore necessary that the white
men should, in self-defense, form a SINH
lar organization. While it is true that
the negroes, with inconsiderable excep-
tions, have attached themselves to one
political party and obeys its behests and
votes its ticket with the regularity, and
with about the intelligence of machine,
it is not true that they have formed a
"black mans party" On the contrary
though, in these Southern States they
practically furnish all the votes to their
party, yet in a very large majority of
cases their favors and offices are bestowed
upon white men. We admit that the
solid unaniInity with which the negroes
vote the Republican ticket regardless of
the mental or moral qualifications of its
is well calculated to hurry
white men into the opposite extreme,
but we are quite sure that the remedy
is not there to be found. 1t is enough
to make the most sanguine patriot des-
pair of the Republic, when he sees the
controlling element in the State casting
its vote for strangers, imbeclles or thieves,
for the sole reason that such characters
the Republican party. What
the remedy is for this state of affairs we
confess ourselves at loss to divine
Time alone must bring the remedy, and
if it is not brought speedily our State
seems doomed to destruction.
As grave as are the evils that atflict
the body polite we feel assured that they
will be aggravated rather than diminished
by the organization of parties con the
color line"

Women In IIle Grange.

The oranges are making great Roadway
in Virginia, and it gives us pleasure to
record the fact, for we deem it to be the
forerunner of prosperity TO the farmers Of
our state We do not look upon this
move as in any way opposed to the great
interest of Virginia, but believe that to
our farmers, who are intelligent men, it
will prove protection against monopoly
and extortion, and at the same time be of
great service i'll the interchange of ideas
and practical experience, thus doing
more in a year TO advance the interests OF
agriculture than could otherwise be ac-
complished in ten.
AS a social club, the grange presents
the very best possible form that can be
found, for there is the halIowed influence
of woman, and wherever wOmnn is, her
benign influence tends to elevate and adj
vance mans moral character; III other
societies, where women are excluded,
we may find pleasure, profit and enjoy
ment, but here we find elevation for our
morals and manners, as we'll as protection
for our prosperity and the advancement
of husbands We were doubtful at first
of the propriety Of admitting ladies to the
oranges, but after mature deliberatioD,
have concluded that as many of our
ladies are deeply interested in farming
pursuits-in fact, we can point to instan
ces where ladies are excellent and most
successful farmers; in many branches
of the farm the hand of woman is indis-
pensible then if the grange is to benefit
the farmer, why should woman be exclu
ded is the natural question that arises
if her husband, father, brother and
friend is to be benefited by going into
the grange, why exclude her who is 10 he
much interested in all that concerns their
welfare? Her quick wit can often solve
problems that men cannot SO easily see
into; hence her necessity in the grange,
and above all, her moral influence sane
titles the grange, and makes it as sacred
as the hearthstone or the altar-Virginia

The establishment of q woman's COM
munity within the limits of the town of
Wohurn. about twelve miles from Boston,
was begun on the 22d ult., by the formal
raising of the frame of the first building.
Tn this community all the land is to be
owned by women; and so far as the man.
agement of the affairs of the village is
concerned, woman's suffrage is to be real
lied to the extent of the utter political
disqualification of the sterner sex. The
members of the community are obliged to
assent to a constitution which IS to gov
ern it, but further than this they are
unrestrained; except, however, that they
are expected to attend at least once
week upon the unseetarian services to be
held. The occupation of the residents IN
Aurora village will be varied, and indus
trial schools are provided to fit persons
for the different kinds of work to be done,
including domestic school for instruction
In home duties. Each homestead Is to
be accompanied with garden, and gar
dening and Embarrassing will be favorlte
occupation. Cooperative schemes are
also planned. One of these, and that
which has been pushed nearer to reallza-
ton than any other connected with the
enterprise, is the establishment OF lann-
drv where full facilities are TO be afforded
for doing work on a large scale, and bring
money into this thus far decidedly needed
village by competing with the famous
Troy laundries. About one thousand
narsons are committed to the enterprise,

Adjourned sine die
COMMENTS BY THE vICKsBURGER.
The discussion took wide and liberal
range, and resulted in the adoption of
resolution that it was inexpedient, just
now, for the bailiwick of Vicksburg to
issue an address to the people of the State
Of Mississippi concerning the election of
1875, and this action was certainly proper
and right The State election is off yon-
der in the future, fourteen or fifteen
months and then it would be rather i'm
modest in Vicksburg to undertake to die
tate the line of policy to be observed in
every county of the State. Let us go to
work in our own.county and redeem that
first, the fall elections will roll around in
other States before this work is finished
at home, and then we can join the white
sons of Mississippi in united effort to
redeem the State and carry the proposed
amendment.
Will the Vicksburger please inform US
to what Constitutional amendment" it
refers?

to the Colum bus Enquirer.
A remarkable instance occurred at
this church gathering seldom witnessed
by many. Mr.. S. B. Baldwin, ST., and
wife, aged respectively sixty four and
fifty six, were present with their decen-
dants. They have eight sons and four
daughters, who reside in four different
counties in this State. They with their
descendants make an aggregate of thirty
six, all living. None of them either
drink, curse or use tobacco. All of them
are grown except three-and something
more remarkable is, there has been but
one death in the family in thirty-one
years. Mr.. B. had four sons in the late
war from the beginning till the close.
They are enjoying their annual reun-
ion this week at the old family home

knights I'emplars.

The military and religious order of
Knights Templars was found in Jerusa-
lem early in the twelfth century, by the
venerable Hugh de Pagauis and Godfrey
de ST. Omar. Baldwin ii, king of Je-
rusalem, gave them a habitation on the
south side of the church and convent of
Solomon's temple, and the canons of the
temple added sufficient land on which
to erect offices. The first intent of the
order was to procure the remission of sins
by protecting the Holy Sepulchre, and
keeping secure from robbers the roads
through which pilgrims passed to Jerusa-
lem. Nine years after the establishment
of the order, it received a code of laws
from the council of Troyes, and was in
vested with white habit by pope Homo
rious. Afterwards, in the time of pope
Eugenius, red cross was sewed on the
nantes as further badge of distinction.
The knights, who were at first but nine,
rapidly increased IN numbers and III
wealth. Immense donations were made
them in all the provinces OF Chrlstendom,
and men of the highest rank were proud
to bear their title. According to the
original rule of the order, its members
were bound to live in perpetual chastity
and abstinence from luxury. After the
capture of Jerusalem by the Saracens,
the knights spread all over Europe and
in every country we're under the control
of governor, called the master of the
Temple As they increased in power
and prosperity, they decreased in virtue,
until at last their arrogance, extravaganza
and vice, rendered them universally OBJ
noxious. The order was finally sup
pressed in 1912, by a decree of the
Council of Vienna, and its property
bestowed on the Knights of st. john
