GRANGE WoRK.-If the Western Gran
gers are not becoming potent in political
way, they certainly exhibit a wonderful
activity collectively, in pushing the indi-
vidual interests of the farmers. This is
especially true in Iowa, where the hayseed
elements have carried the Grange system
into more branches of every day needs, than
in any other State. The order has attained
immense strength in the State. A recent
meeting for business showed that councils
are in operation in each county, and the
total membership something like 100000.
Under these, forty-one County Councils
have been organized to attend to the
purchasing of supplies for the different
Oranges, and to assume the management
of the cooperative stores, mills, manufac-
tories, ETC., already begun. A law was
passed at the last session of the Legislature,
enabling the councils to organize local fire
insurance companies, of which twenty mime
are already doing business. They usually
include about four civil townships in each
assigned territory, giving the offices of
President and Secretary to some local men,
bers, and charge only from one to two mills
on the dollar, and as yet there has not been
a failure to meet liability. Several of
them are carrying from $500, 900 to $780,
600 each in risks, and the satisfaction is
reported unversal.-NashrilleB Banner.

A brilliant Record OF Cures.

An American humurist tells that it would have
been money in his pocket if he had been born without
stomach, and then proceeds to figure up the cost of
chronic dyspepsia, to which he is martyr, and which
he says it is impossible to cure On this point, Josh

CHILD ABDUCTIoN.-There is consider
able excitement in Philadelphia concerning
the abduction of the young son of Mr..
Christian X. Ross. He was stolen by kid
nappers on the list of July, and up to this
time not the slightest trace of him has been
obtained. His father has received an
anonymous communication making an offer
to return the child for ten thousand dollars.
He has given notice through an advertise
ment in the newspapers that he is ready to
negotiate to the extent Of his ability.
If this unusual crime breaks out in this
country land species of crime are apt to
become epidemic) it will cause more dread
on the part Of parents than any other in
the record Of guilt. 1t would be better a
subscription of ten thousand dollars should
be raised to employ all the police and de-
tectives in the city and vicinity to ferret out
and bring to justice the guilty parties, than
give one cent as ransom; for if the scoun-
drels succeed in procuring a ransom for
this child's release, others will be abducted
and this species of theft become regular
business.

REPORT Or THE POSTAL SERVICE
The report of Senator Mitchell, of the sub.
committee of the Senate Committee on
Transportation, in relation to the railway
postal service of the country, presented by
him on the last day Of the session Of Con-
gress, has just been printed. The Senator
has gone into a thorough discussion as to
the power of Congress under section 8,
article of the Constitution, which declares
that Congress shall have power to establish
postotfices and post roads. He holds that
Congress, under this delegation of power.
may provide for the transportation of it's
mails over railroads owned by private cor
porations, or of the State in which such
roads are located, by paying just compen-
sation; that this may be done by an exer-
else on the part of Congress of the right of
eminent domain. He holds, generally, that
the power to take private property for the
purpose of the transportation of the public
mails does not depend on any express pro-
visions of the Constitution, but that it is
an inherent attribute of sovereignty exist
ing in every Independent State. In sup
port OF this opinion, he draws 4 comparison
between the powers of Congress under our
present Constitution and those which exist
ed under the Articles of Confederation. His
views are also sustained by numerous cita-
tions from State and Federal Courts of
high authority. While declaring the exist
ence in the General Government of the
power mentioned, Senator Mitchell does
not recommend resort to its exercise at
this time, and only in case of absolute
necessity. if such should arise. He con-
templates such changes in our postal laws
as will enable the Department to make
just compensation for the carryage of the
mails on railroads, and also tend to the
extenuation of the mail service as the
growth of the country may demand The
present law he regards as essentially defec-
tive, and he, therefore, proposes to devote
a large part of his time during the recess
of Congress toward perfecting bill, the
provisions of which he hopes will be &C
ceptabe to the railroad companies, and at
the same time just to the Government.

THE NEW Postmaster GENERAL.-The
Post Office Department, which went beg
ging for some days after Postmaster Cen
eral Creswell handed in his resignation,
having first been accepted by Mr.. Hale, and
then declined, has been rendered to Mar
shall Jewell, the present Minister to Russia.
Mr.. Jewell is a citizen of Connecticut, of
which State he was elected Governor in
1869, and reelected in 1871 In May, 1873,
Mr.. Jewell was nominated as Minister to
Russia, and was at St. Petersburg when he
was rendered the Postmaster Generalship,
which was accepted by telegraph. Mr..
Jewell will return and take charge of the
office in about month. Till then the
employees in that department may possess
their souls in peace. Mr.. Marshall, First
Assistant, has been appointed to serve
until the arrival of Mr.. Jewell.

eB Sudden wealth upsets men as fire.
quently as it makes them. Very few know
how to use money unless they have earned
it by painful application to business. The
man who drew the big Crosby Opera House,
in Chicago, some years ago, died poor
man, for he had not been used to handling
such sums of money, and lost it. The
journeyman- carpenter, in Peoria, ILL.,, who,
three years ago, fell heir to $3.50, 900, by
the death of an uncle, has his money yet;
for he was so conscious of his inability to
use it as other men do, and so afraid of
losing it, that he simply boards it, taking
from the principal enough each week to
pay his expenses. He thinks it will sup
port him as long as he lives, as it doubtless
will; but a more miserable man never lived.
Johnny Steele, the Petroleum Prince, ran
through his millions in riotous living, in
side of three years. The number who have
used suddenly acquired wealth wisely, is
very small. l.. II. Keith, of Kingston,
Mass, is an exception. He held a ticket
in the third Gift Concert of the Kentucky
Public Library, and that ticket drew the
capital prize of 100000. Mr.. Keith, a
cool, lf-posed man of business, simply
went to Louisville, took his money at the
hands of Gov. Bramlette, the manager, and
went home with it, and, without any par
ticular fuss, invested 1t in his business, and
is rapidly converting that 100000, into
100000. Should he draw the grand prize
of $3.50, 200 in the fifth (and LAST of these
popular concerts, that takes place in Louis
vile, July 31st, he would be precisely the
man that he now is. Such men are never
unduly elated or unduly depressed. They
are self poised, and keep always on an even
keel. Every man believes he could use
money wisely, but few do it. We should
like to be tried with a million or two
Would that we held the ticket that is to
draw that $250,000! We would try to hold
the money.-Toledo Blade.
