in the British Parliament. He had heard
him quoted by monk in cowl, sung at

The Grangers-Their Object.

The Patrons of Husbandry, or Gran.
gers, as they are usually called, are a
body ofmen and women banded together
in secret society for the benefit Of the
laborers in one industry, viz: farming;
and their Oranges or Lodges are com.
posed only of such persons as shave an
interest in agricultural pursuits" The
Order was instituted some years ago,
with its headquarters at Washington
City, by set OF practical men who de.
sired to see the great farming interests OF
the land protected against the many
burdens and expressions which class
legislation and concentration of capital
had heaped upon it.
With this idea In view they consulted
with large number of the most en-
lightenea planters of the various States
in the Union, and finally, after several
private meetings, laid the plan Of the So
ciety and named the association the
"Patrons of Husbandfy," while the
lodges were called after the old farmer
clubs and associations of Wales and
Scotland, ssGranges."
At first their success was but partial;
only o few Oranges under the plan were
organized, owing partly to the want of
speakers and deputies to show to the
farmers the object OF the Order, and also
to tine natural cautiousness OF country
men in embracing any new plan to re-
lieve themselves Of evils to which long
use had made them slaves.
However, the Constitution and bylaws
were published, and by degrees the more
advanced speakers began TO- elucidate
the principles proposed to be taught and
exercised by the order, and openly to at
tack the overgrown railroad monopoiies
OF the West.
At once the people, began to listen and
to. think, and soon join the Grauges--not
as political organization, but simply a
society TO elevate the farmer by educat-
ing him in all that relates tothe sciences
and arts, and particularly the science OF
agriculture, and to teach him the power
fui protection which can be gained by a
united and concentrated action OF num-
bers.
The Grange, then, is nothing more nor
less than an Order tor the benefit of the
farmers just as the Printers Union Is
for the printers, or the Pilots Associa-
tien is for the pilots, the Merchants Ex-
change is for the merchants, or the Me-
chanics' Leagues for the mechanics; and
while they protect themselves they do
not attempt to oppose any other indus
try, but honestly try to cooperate with
all other orders to bring about such u
state of affairs as may always insure to
the iaborer Of every calling the reward
of his labor.-Louisvilie Leager.

Nine. Parepa-Rosa is said to have died

thrifty woman, and looked we'll after the
pennies. Nine. NilssOn-R0Zeaud has Ger
taiLly not squandered her means, and is
reported to have 500, 900 invested in stocks
and real estate. Miss kellogg is worth
prot ably 100000 well invested, and would
be worth more if she were not so generous.
She, or her mother, who acts for her, is
close at a bargain, but liberal with money
after she once gets it. Adelina Patti is eX-
travagant and aVaTiciOuS, too. She makes
4 great deal of money, and spends great
deal as well. But she has saved a for
tune. Mile. Albani is just beginning to
make money; so she has not saved any
so far. MIR. Gye, however, will see that
she does not lose anything. LUcca is
more like the Old-fashiOned prima donna.
She does not save a penny, though she
makes a great many. De Murska, also, is
improyident. Adelaide Phillips is poor,
through her generosity to her relatives, l
am told. Miss Annie Louise Cary would
save if she could only get little ahead.
But she is so kiud-hearted. Nine. Anna
Bishop belongs to the imprOyident, or
rather, unfortunate generation. She has
made fortunes, but only to lose them, and
is poor woman to-day. Carl FOrmes,
Mario, Tamberlik, neither have anything
left, not even their voices. Or the present
generation, Wachtel is well of; so are
Santley, Sims Reeves, Faure, and Me

Capoul didn't, neither did Maurel nor

A RIGHT BOWER MISSING.

"Wiu Sweeny come back?" IS now
the conumdrum in New York. Peter
B. was Boss Tweed's right bower-in
fact, the brains Of the Ring. He was
indicted with Tweed, Connolly and
Smith for the alleged appropriation Of
public money, but that Indictment was
subsequently quashed; and until the re-
lease Of Ingersou from the Stateprison,
and the remarkable and startling de.
velopments that followed that event,
thereexistedno charge, civil OF criminal,
against Swecny. But, on the strength
Of Ingerson's testimony regarding the
disposition Of the Ring plunder, a civil
suit was entered against Sweeny for
the recovery Of S7O00,OOO, alleged to
have been stolen from the county treas
ury by him in collUsion with Others.
Ingersoll's testimony on this point is to
the effect that the money received or
raised on bogus bills against the county
was divided on affixed basis, ten percent.
oft going 10 Sweeny. Hefurtherswears
that Swecny's share was always placed
in an envelope, sealed up and handed
to him without remark, or at most with
the remark, " Jim Watson sent this. -
This is all the testimony there is
known to exist inculpating Sweeny.
His bail was at first fixed at S3,0oO,000,
but his counsel have had 1t raced to
SI50,OO0, and 1t is thought, among the
old supporters Of the Ring, that he
will probably come back from abroad
and t.ke his chances.
