The Question Finally Settled.

The question as to how many degrees
can be conferred on the same day is
finally settled by an official announce
ment of the Worthy Master of the
State Grange which is as follows:
Editors Rural Sun: To answer
once for all the Oft-repeated question,
is il lawful 10 confer more than one
degree the same day on the same per-
son? In reply, hear Dudley ". Adams.
Worthy Master of the National
Grange, in communication to me of
the 9th inst, received at my Office this
day. He says the Executive Commit
tee of the National Grange were in
session from the 4th to the 18th ult.,
and that they decided large number
of questions, and on reference to his
record he finds No. go in these
words:
"A Grange cannot hold two meet
ings on the same day." Then see Art.
TX, Sec. s, National Constitution
No Grange shall confer more than
one degree at the same meeting"
IHiS qucStlOu Hds DeeH dskeO, per-
haps, oftener than any other one, and
| have invariably answered that the
fact was made known to the National
and State Oranges at their late sessions,
that Oranges were working in a way to
confer all the degrees the same day,
and that neither of them took excep
tons or made any ruling in reference
thereto. But now here comes an
authoritative decIsion-take notice and
govern yourselves accordingly.

How TO Make Good Coffee.

| have travelled some. And it is
seldom that find coffee fit to drink,
especially at the hotels. 1t comes to
us pretty near cold, often full of coffee
grounds, of dirty, black color; very
often it is not deserving the name of
coffee. All the cream and sugar you
can put in it does not make it palata
bic 1t is no more trouble 10 make
good coffee than poor. First wash the
coffee clean, then dry it, then brown it
not burn it. The hopperful of our
common coffee mills is about enough
for eight or ten persons, according to
the strength the persons want.
Put the ground coffee in a bowl or
the coffee boiler, and half an egg,
then pour on just enough cold water
to wet the coffee by being well
stirred; then pour on enough boiling
water to suit the strength wanted,
boil from five to ten minutes, set off
the fire and add about half a gill of
cold water; let stand one minute to
settle, and pour off in another coffee
pot. Now serve; then you will
have coffee of a light amber color,
without grounds, fit for any one to
drink.

Language OF The Clouds.

The colors of the sky at particular
times afford wonderfully good evidence.
Not only does a rosy sunsent presage
fair weather and a rudy sunshine,
but there are other tints which speak
with equal elearness and accuracy. A
bright yellowish sky in the evening in
dicates wind a pale yellow, wet;
neutral gray color constitutes favor
able sign in the evening and an unta-
vorable one in the morning. The
clouds are full of meaning in them
selves. Iftheir forms are soft, unde-
fined, and feathery. the weather will
be fine If the edges are hard, sharp
and definite, it will be foul. General
ly speaking, any deep, unusual lines
betoken wind and rain, while the more
quiet and delicate tints bespeak fair
weather.

nismarck ON love.

Here is a good story which has not
yet found its way into print, but for
the truth of which | can voueh. Lord
George Gordon, young man of four
and twenty, wishing to marry certain
young lady, went quite recently to ask
the permission of his father, the Duke
of Argyle The Dixie, a pompous lit
tie man, replied, in effect, My son,
since our house has been honored by
being united with the royal family, l
have thought it right TO delegate de-
cision on all such matters to your elder
brother, the Marquis of Lorne. Go.
therefore and consult him." The Mar
quis of Lorne, on being applied to,
said: MY dear brother, in a case of
Importance like this, | should think
il right to ask the decision of the
Queen, the head of the royal family
into which | have married" The
Queen, on the matter being laid before
her, declared that since her terrible
bereavement she had been in the habit
Of taking no step without consulting
the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, the brother
of her deceased husband. To the Duke
then, the brother of her deceased hus-
band. To the Duke then, the case
was referred, and from him letter
was received telling his dear sister-in
law that recent political events had in
duced him to do nothing, even as to
the giving advice, without the express
concurrence of the Emperor William,
before whom he had lald the matter.
The Emperor William wrote long
letter, declaring that. though he was
surrounded by counselors, there was
one only who had on all occasions
proved himself correct, loyal and faith
full, and without whose advice he (the
Emperor) would give no decision
Therefore, he had referred the mat
ter to his faithful Minister. Prince Bis
marck, and it is narrated that whei
Prince Bismarck was made acquainted
with the subject he roared out. Colt
in Himmell, what fuss about moth
ing! Let the boy marry whom he
pleases, so long as she is young and
pretty"

The Next Presidential Campaign.

The New York Sun, which may be
styled the foremost leader of the polit-
zeal independents, thinks the Presiden-
tial campaign of 1876 will be fought on
the financial issue and forecasts its eff
feet on existing parties. 1t says:
To all human appearances there
must be an imitation candidate for the
part of the Western and Southeastern
Republicans and anti imitation candi-
date put up by the Republicans of the
Middle and Eastern States.
Of course the Democrats will have
wit enough to preserve their own Or
ganization and run a candidate ftheir
own, and thus a triangular contest will
spring up all over the country, compli-
Gated by the Granger movement; and
he is foolish man who will now IN
dertake to forecast the result. All we
can see plainly is that the currency
question is going to dominate in the
general melee. The Republicans have
raised the ghost, but they will be pow
erless to exercise it, however their
hopes and fears may press them to make
the effort. They have opened the
lid of the box; the giant is out, and
he must be encountered.

HIGHLANDERs have habit. when
talking th,ir English, such as it is, of
interjectiDgthe personal pronoun he
where not required, such as " The King

the subject of our text to-day intO four
heads. Firstly, we shall endeayor to

devil he was and Where the devil
he was going Thirdly-and this is of

question which has never been solved
yet, What the devil he was roaring

Bald Mountain Again.

The latest theory about the phenom-
ma in North Carolina is, that we are
rapidly approaching the period when
the devil is to be turned loose for a
thousand years, and that he is now
working his way up through Bald
Mountain. upon the top of which he
will soon appear, to take survey Ofthe
empires, Kingdoms, principalities and
powers of the earth This, however
is reasonable only upon the premise.
which few well-informed minds will
undertake to controvert, that there is
no country in the world where the
father of sin has more near aud dear
relatives and friends or more subservl-
ent aud faithful followers than in these
United States, and it is perfectly natu-
raj that they should first receive his
personal attention,

POLICE CcURT.-The attraction at
the police court yesterday morning,
was the trial OF the young boys engag-
ed in tie assault on VIM. Notthermann
night Waterman at Hobbs, Brockunier
e. Co.'S gaes works, in the Eight ward.
1t seems the boys in that vicinity have
been in the habit OF loaang about the
works at uight, much to the annoyance
OF the workmen and proprietors. The
night Waterman had strict orders to put
out all persons found about the estab'
lisE ment who were there after night and
not actually engaged in work.
When he attempted to execute
his orders on last Tuesday night, the
boys assaulted him with stones, bricks,
&c. and the result was the Waterman
was badly hurt. The Judge fined
James Howard and Samuel Hermann,
who were Tie ringleaders, S. and costs
each, suI Michael Ovens. Patrick
Gibben and Michael Shortly 20 and
costs each. Thos. Ovens was let off
with the payment Of the costs in conse-
quence OF his youthfulness.
Patrick Hoe, little fellow about
sleyeu years old. was charged with dis
turbiug worship 81 the Lutheran
Church, on 10th street, on Wednesday
night, by yelling in the Church during
the service. In consequence of his ex.
treme youth, the case was dismissed at
his coat, and 8 warning from the Judge
that il be was ever before the court
on that charge again, he would send
him to Jail for thirty days.
