Livingstone.

It seems pretty certain that not only
the remains of DR.. Livingstone will be
recovered and brought home to an hon
ored resting place, but that there will
be no difficulty in getting the journals
in which the illustrious traveller has
written the story of his discoveries. DIR.
Livingstone, it is ascertained, was on
his return journey to The coast and En-
gland when he was seized with his last
illness, and had probably completed the
exploration on which he set out, seen
the ancient fountains at the west of the
great watershed he has mapped, visited
the copper mines of Katanga, and the
people who dwell in caves.

VIRGINIA
THE WORK OF ORGANIZATION.

THE WORK OF ORGANIZATION.
The following card in the Petersburg
bnder gives hopeful account of grange
matters In Virginia
Since the organization of the State
Grange and the election to Office of
some of Virginia's truest and best sons,
it's success cannot be any longer doubt
ed or its purpose questioned: While it
was true that it had met with opposi-
ton from some of the leading newspa-
pers of the State, its progress has been
onward. We confidently believe
that in twelve months from this time
every county in the State of Virginia
will be represented in the State Grange,
and in many counties every township.
And even then we can confidently say
that not the slightest interference will
be had with the politics of the country.
We have for our object higher aims and
nobler purposes-the moral and social
elevation of our people. We have uni
ted together in a common brotherhood
for our mutual protective interests and
advancement, and this we have done
without the slightest infringement upon
the rights of others, and by the help
of God and our own strong arm, we ex-
pect to go on till we kindle flame of
brotherly love and bind together under
one common banner the farmers of Vir-
ginia."

A VOICE FROM THE EAST.
THE FARMERS STRIKE.


From the New Haven (Conn.) Union,l
The strike Of the farmers and work
ingmen of this country, against the OPP
pressions of the monopolists, viii, In
future, be looked upon as the greatest
movement of modern times. Subsi
died newspapers and awe-stricken
plunderers may howl about the exclu-
siveness and secresy of the two organi-
cations which are welding the industrial
classes together /; but the form is not
what troubles them so much as the fact
that they are thoroughly arousing to a
sense of their duty. Even the New
York Nation, a paper not particularly
devoted to the interests of the producing
class, is compelled to remark that the
farmers and producers of all kinds have
been oppressed by having an unreliable
and changeable judiciary, corrupt and
incompetent Legislatures, and good
laws which were lot enforced, and bad
laws which were enforced. They have
been oppressed, too, by monstrous
and mis-shapen tariff, so complicated
that its operation on the actual industry
of the country is almost as mysterious
and little understood as the perturba-
tions in the earth's orbit by an undis.
covered planet. They have been OPP
pressed just as the consumer of milk
has been oppressed by adulteration,
just as the coal consumer has been OPP
pressed by the Pennsylvania mono
polists.
From the same paper.l
The New York World is catching at
straws. 1t rends in the signs of the
times terrible smashing up of old
cliques and old customs. Its patron
Belmont, the greedy agent of the more
greedy Rothschilds, is afraid that new
deal IS at hand, and that the rotten
financial system now In vogue, and the
still more rotten one which is advocat-
ed, that of specie payment, will be con-
signed, along with the party which he
represents, to political oblivion. One
desperate effort is to be made to post
pone the final smash-up, with the hope
that If even a concession is made to the
people in the way of resolutions, enough
monopolists will ride into power to pre-.
vent the carrying out of reform
measures.
Let no one be deceived. The farmers
of the West, and workingnen of the
East, are in dead earnest. The ques
tions which they advocate are of grea
moment. No dilly- qualifying with politi
cal hacks and public plunderers can b.
tolerated. The Democrat and Republi
can parties mrst battle the people di
rectly, and with principles expressl.
laid down, which fully represent thu
sentiments of the leaders, or one o
them must disband, and turn its forces
into the ranks of the people, and form
a rear guard in the great battle for lib
erty.

Some Anecdotes of President Tyler.

One of the most prominent traits of
Mr.. Tyler's character was the assiduity
with which he made fattering promises
to persons who held Office when he came
in power, and the cheerful rapidity and
perseverance with which he broke
them. When he was made President,
by Harrison's death, Jonathan Codding-
ton was Postmaster of New York, Mr..
Tyler sent letter asking Mr.. Codding-
ton why he had not renewed his bond,
and when that gentleman replied that
he expected a successor would shortly
be appointed, the President assured
him that nothing of the kind was con-
templated. Mr.. Coddington renewed
his bond, and about a week afterward
another Postmaster walked In and took
possession of the office.
During the Tyler regime the Madi-
sOnian was the official organ, and sup
ported the President with fealty that
was delightful to behold. Mr.. Tyler
gave all the office-holders to understand
that it would be to their advantage to
Immediately subscribe to that paper.
OF course, everybody who had the
slightest regard for continuance in
Office, and who desired his head on his
shoulders, sent the subscription price
($l0) to Washington, and took the Mad
isoaian home as gentle narcotic.
- friend of Mr.. Tyler's wrote the
President S life; and the latter, wish
ing to have his gentle virtues under
stood and appreciated by his admiring
countrymen, caused bales of the "Life
to be dispatched to all the public Offices,
and desired everyone in the service of
the Government to buy copy. The
request was SO overcomingly modest
that it could not be understood by the
gross natures of the office-holders, and
many of them openly rebelled. Sc
widespread was mutiny that numbers
of the bales of books were sent back tc
Washington, the President not daring
to push the m after.

MAUDE.

Dear me she can't wear it at all
Just to think how she grows.
Look, papa you'd hardly suppose
made that dress late in the fall
Outgrowing her baby-clothes SOL
II she only would stay
Our dear little darling Away,
And never away from us grow!
Pretty pet in the misty "to be"
Could we look in her eyes
AS pure as the tint of the skies.
And say, Little Maude is just threeir
Could cradle-glee gladden. our ears
And her prattle OF words,
More charmful than singing of birds.
Ripple sweetly along the years
But no in a pitiless whirl
How the seasons go past
Our baby is growing 80 fast
She'll soon be our "dear little girl J"
Affair in the future it seems
When thought of another
Far dearer than father or mother,
With love-light will halo her dreams.
When some one viii win her away
With the old tale of love,
When trusting his vows, she will prove
Her faith at the altar some day.
All, well she's our little one yet
Though she's growing so fast
Her babyhood cannot long last;
Cope-weT take it off now-sweet peti
There-run and tell papa" This dress
Will not answer at all
For baby so plump and 30 TALL
And he'll buy you new one-I guess.

BRASS VERSUS STEEL.-Robert Hall,
the celebrated preacher and writer,
could make sharp repartee upon oc-
casion. It is related of him that while
in his prime, and before the painful dis
ease which afflicted him for SO many
years had come upon him, he paid his
addresses to Ann Steele, the distinguish
ed poetess, but was met with a decided
repulse on her part. One evening in
company, not long after his unsuccess-
full courtship, he was rallied by q
sprightly maiden, who said to him, my
dear Mr.. Hall, why do you not try
again We are not all cold and selfish.
If you have courage, you may find some
where heart that is not all steel p
"No, replied Hall, looking unutterable
things; "but might find what would
be far worse-heart minus and face al

A Sad Ending.

In the Wiertz Museum, near Brus-
sells, is a picture of Napoleon Bona
parte, representing him in Hades, which
is thus described "He is surrounded
by those whose lives he caused to be
sacrificed in his attempts to conquer
the world, Bloody hands are thrust
out toward him, and horribly mutilated
bodies and dismembered limbs, still
dripping with gore, strew the ground.
Clinging to him, with faces expressive
of anguish or fury, are the
wives and sisters of those whom he has
slain yet he is represented standing in
the well-known attitude, with folded
arms, calmly gazing into futurity, and
needing naught of the scene about him.
His face betokens deep thought. The
whole picture is terrible in its signifi-
canoe"

WHAT THE CHANGERS HAVE DONE.


Colman's Rural World has the fol-
lowing correct summary of what the
Changers have done:
The influence of the Changers
movement have been felt oil over the
land. 1t has penetrated into the in
nermost recesses of every monetary in
stitutio1 in this country. 1t has
brought fictitious, inflated values down
to real values. 1t has put stop to the
operations of stock-gamblers and swim
dlers. It has brought many down from
the high stills on which they have been
taking colossal strides, to the solid
earth, where they walk very much as
other common mortals. 1t has stopped
the spirit of speculation. 1t has given
credit its death blow. 1t has made
more wary and cautious every business
man. 1t has poured hot shot into the
ranks of corrupt rings, until their num-
bers are thinned and they are left harm
less for evil. In has put stop to ex-
travagance and recklessness In the ex-
penditure of money for private or pub.
| lie purposes. 1t has killed off the
whole race of salary grabbers. 1t has
made the very word "back-pay" ig.
nominious. 1t has been more effective
in Staying politicians than Sampson was
in Staying Philistines. It has filled the
very air with the spirit of reform. The
year 1873 will be a memorable one. A
new era will date from it. 1t was in.
augurated by the farmers. But the
work which they sat out to do has only
begun. There is an Augean stable to
cleanse. The purity that existed in the
early days of the republic must be re.
stored. Every farmer must grid up his
loins and prepare to bear his part in the
contest against the corruption of the
times.

MICHIGAN.

HOW THE GOOD WORK HAS PROGRESSED.
Extract from an address by State
Deputy King, at Battle Greek:
"a new history of organization must
now be written. Hardly year ago Mr..
Kings connection with the grange
movement began. Ii, his first efforts he
was welcomed by brs lew farmers. They
had been feeced and deceived so often
that they were shy of any new move
ment with which they were not fully
conversant. But a few were gathered
in here and there and organizations be-
gan. 1t was rare thing then to find
more than fifteen or twenty belonging
to one grange; now fifty could hardly
be called an average. He could report
Reorganization OF one hundred oranges,
which gave him the paternity of large
family. With all those engaged in the
work of organizing, working equally
hard, the demand could not be supplied.
The cry was come and help us here ,
from all parts of the State, and requests
had even been sent from other States
for help from Michigan. He thought
this looked well for the future of the
order. On the 18th and 18th of last
April the State Grange of Michigan was
organized; now there are $50 subordi-
nate oranges under its jurisdiction.
Many who ought to be active workers in
the movement were kept away by blind
prejudice. but, step by step, this was
being overcome. One idea which many
seemed to have at the outset was that
the farmers were not competent to man
ace an organization Of>sO broad scO:,e
He said that few months before he
called at postoffice to procure a money
order in payment for a charter, when
he was asked the question whether peo-
pie who were not farmers were admitted
into the order. He replied that only
those directly interested in agriculture
were allowed to become members !;
thereupen the postmaster remarked that
some outsiders must be admitted, as the
farmers had not brains enough to run
the thing themselves. He closed with
bright picture of the order"
