do You know of anybody in this country
by the name of ParkhurSt -
Yes, sir. " replied Mr.. Kondrick, g know
al old lady by that name living some dis
tanee IN the country, and used TO know hel
husband, David Parkhurst, many years ago. -
And where Is he now?' inquired the
man with emotion.
(" 1t is supposed he is dead. lie mysteri-
ously disappeared thirty-tive years age, and
has not since been seen or heard from
Billy, don't you know me?" cried the
old man as lie quickly raised his eyes, which
sparkled with excitement, and rushing for
ward, took Mr. Kendrick Iy both his hands.
"Yes," said Mr. Kendrck, a Go. Yon
are David Parkhurst." "
And sure enough it was he long lost wan
derer, who, after so long an absence had come
back white with age and clad in the rags Of
poverty, seeking the companion Of his youth
and the wife of his young manhood. He
went away in the prime Of life and returned
eighty years old.
When told that his wife was still upon the
earth, be manifested no very strong symp-
toms either Of surprise or d delight. but appeared
very much gCatItied. \ short time after
wards, however, he showed great deal Of
anxiety and was SO impatient 10 get home
that he could not be prevailed upon to rest
over night. When he met Mr. Eendrick !
was near / o clock, and as the train upon
which he was to end his wanderings left al
2:lO T. N, MT- kendriek had but very little
opportunity 10 obtain much Of his story.
MIR keudrIck took him 70 his house FOR din
ner, and Immediately after took him TO the
Shortline depot and put him aboard he train
He tried TO pursuade him TO stay till morn
ing, but the old man would listen TO 10 en-
treaty. His consequent hurry and restive-
ness Pre7entrd him from talking, and also
prevented Mr. kendrick from asking the
question that would have proved most inter
estiug to his narrative.
Without giving any reason for leaving
home, OF iUr refusing 10 give Information of
his whereabouts, Mr. Parkhurst stated that
he went from Kentucky 20 Mexico, where
he lived q number of years, and was sol
dier in the Mexican war, under the United
States After the war he went to California,
and thence 10 Nevada where he spent several
years il the mines. From Nevada he wan
deGel in several states and territories, and, a
a few years ago went to Wisconsin, where ! {
has lived until within the past few weeks,
when he resolved to retuIn to kentucky, aud
see If his people We're still living.
What Route be came lie didn't state, eX-
cept that he came % Louisville from Cairo on
the -Nsgy -HAsy, arriving here only few min
utcs before he met lr. KeudricE
He did not appear 10 observe the great i'm
provemcn's which have been made since lis
departure. and e,Inri % take no interest II
anything nor anyboIy but his own people.

4 ACosrEEClALPAHER or TIE GRANGE
The Milwaukee Jg,audt Of Conn
D,erce thus speaks Of the Grange:
The Grange movement IS broad
enough to achieve permanent success.
Pretended friends may mislead and
abuse it for 2 time, but they cannot
stop it. 1t IS rapidly teaching the
farmers and middlemcn their reSPec-
tive duties and their respective rights.
1t IS teaching the public servants,
whether politicians or corporations, to
know their place, 1t Is helping to
determine what Is jnst between all
parties. The ASSOCIATION Of men
against tie association Of dollars Is
entirely IL accordance with the laws
Of political economy. Whatever this
Grange association attempts IN orPn-
sition to those laws viii surely fail.
We believe in the Grange, and be-
lieYe there Is . code, called " political
economy" Of unwri;ten principles Of
Justice AMI common sense governing
men IN their relation to one another.

Cheap transportation.

At the session of the national associa-
ton of transportation and commerce at
Chicago, the 18th, the following majority
resolutions were, after discussion,
adopted.
That the great pressing need Of the
country is system of transportation
equal to the requirements of the age, and
that to the want Of such system is due
the present unsatisfactory condition of
trade and commerce.; that the presence
Of metallic currency is the result and not
the cause Of commercial prosperity, and
to restore such currency it is only neces-
sary to supply the means of exporting
our products at prices which will enable
us to sell them in other countries; that
this communication can only be secured
by an adequate system of transportation,
which only the cooperation of the people
and the government can secure; that the
corporate power embodied in the trans
portation lines has been so organized
that it is now able to dictate values
to the producer, prices to the consumer,
and profits to the manufacturer and
! trader; that further extension of the
power must be prevented by building
competing lines to protect public inter-
ests; that when national aid is extended
it should be done by contract with the
lowest responsible bidder: that as a
means to this end the national govern
ment should as speedily as possible, un.
dertake the construction OF the lines of
transportation routes; that q national
railway exclusively for freight should be
constructed from the grain growing Sec
tons to the Atlantic seaboard, to the end
that this great territory, with it's dense
population, and the principal distributing
cities of the east and west, may not he
