SOME days ago we made reference to
the dispute between Commissioner
Watts, of the Agricultural Bureau,
and an East Tennessee Grange whose
request for seeds had been refused by
that official on the ground that the
United States Government could not
recognize secret societies. From the
Grange Outlook Of this week, it appears
that, under date Of April ,, Col. G. W.
Charlton, Of Knoxville, wrote to the
Commissioner, asking by what act Of
Congress OF other authority this
curious ruling Of the Agricultural Blu
reau had been reached. Mr.. Watts
replies, April >:
If we were 10 respond ahirmatively
10 the secret societies of GranSes-of
which ! believe there are about twenty
five thousand-al other secret socie-
ties, Masons, Odd Fellows, Red Men,
ETC., ETC., and the hundred others,
would claim a like right, by which the
operations Of the department would be
overwhelmed.
There is hope that, SO long as the
willy Watts remains at the helm, the
operations Of the department viii be
neither oyerwhe nor overwhelmed.
IT SEEMS that Hines who, by bribing
postal clerks, underbid the Ring con-
tractors on the post routes in Texas, is
not the only man in the business.
Through long years Of immunity, it
would appear that the members of the
Ring became more and more exacting
II their profits, until the cupidity #
other rascals was tePpted to Try
the same game. In Iowa there Is
a large stage-owner named Warren,
who freely advertises by postal card,
through the ~postofice itself, that he
has no less than sixty-fvc mail routes
to sub-Iet or dispose Of on the shares.
We do not know how long Mr.. Warren
has been in the business. His very
open style Of advertising proves that
he is either a hardened sinner or a
newborn ~simpleton. a reference to
the books at Washington develops that
Mr.. Warren, IN each Of the sixty-fve
bids be made, and he made NO more
was about two anda half cents belowth the
next lowest bidder. This was very sue
cessful guessing" and it is suspected
that, ike Hines, he had the assistance
of q few postal clerks, though none Of
them have yet been identified.

sat in the audience were doubtless sur
prised at themselves as they learned

Mr.. HENRY WENTWORTH Monk, Of
Canada, is the modern Peter the Her

Christendom to rescue the Holy Land
from the Infdel. Naturally, the mod
ern Monk differs somewhat from the
medieval monk in his plan of proce-
dure. Instead Of fighting the Turk, it
Is now proposed to bride him, or in
other words to pun chase Palestine, for
which purpose the enthusiastic Cana
dian offers to subscribe $3.50, the money
to be paid so soon as a suficiency Of
similar subscriptions are obtained.
ATTEMPTS to discover the circulation
Of leading newspapers from the sums
they pay the postofice under the new

payments afford no criterion, as the
greater portion of papers from the

New York Herald Cable

LONDON, August 25.-Cuptain Webb
started yesterday upon his swim across
the channel at the rate OF twenty strokes
per minute. The weather was cool, At
o'clock he lunched on ale and beef tea,
and at s o'clock on beef tea and beer,
He then rested, floating on his back. AT
0 o'clock he was troubled with floating
sea weed. Atll o'clock cod liver oil was
given him. The moon rose ut o'clock
in the morning, when he INDUCED in
brandy and tea. Al this time Webb
declared the accomplishment Of the feat
asure thing, AT 8 o'clock he partoOk Of
coffee. The tide running northwest and
the Captain appearing exhausted, his
trainer stripped to render him assistance,
but Webb laIghingly declined hisservices.
His strokes at this time were at the rate
Of twenty per minute. Fears arose that
the norihyard tide would drift him
abreast Of Calais sands, and as the sequel
proved he had four miles further to swim.
Daylight broke at 4 o'clock, finding him
drowsy, when he INDUCED in coffee aud
brandy.
At $50 Riddins buoys we're sighted and
their positions located at There was
a westerly breeze and chopping sea re-
tarding IN their influence, and it was only
indomitable pluck that insured success.
A skiff was kept on the weather side,
Webb, swimming slowly, and at this
time he INDUCED brandy straight every
90 minutes. Soundings were taken at $
o'clock and s fathoms appeared, Steamers
now appeared from Calais and steam
ed along the weather side breaking
the sea, Cheers rang necessarily, giving
fresh hope to the gallant swimmer, who
had direct course for the Calais sands,
westward Of the pier, At 1880 O'Clock
he was in shallow water, and ut l0:40 to-
day, incredible to relate, the brave
Matthew Webb stood on land. He was
tired, but soon recovered and was convey.
ed to the hotel in a carriage, where be
was rubbed down and put to bed, and at
10 o'clock, when the correspondent sailed
on his return to Dover, he TRANQUILITY
slept. The doctors have no fears Of
serious consequences. Captain Webb,
naked, beats Paul Boynton about two
hours. In London the widest enthusi-
asm prevails. Iii pronounced the great
est physical feat Of the century.
