The Grange advance. [volume] (Red Wing, Minn.) 1873-1877, 1875-05-11

Some little excitement is going on in
London about vice which threatens to
become fashion in the highest circles Of
society. Ladies of high rank and great
wealth, for lack of something better to
do, have set the example of gambling
at cards for large stakes and in one or
two apparently decorous drawing rooms
sums of money of an appalling amount
have changed owners. Scandal whisper
ed that nobleman Of high rank has been
obliged to sell estates which have been
in the family for centuries in order to
clear himself Of the difficulties which his
wife had involved him by her passion for
gambling. The Duchess of Manchester
is said to have lost fl4O,0O sterling.

In reply to your question as to how

to ten acres per day in very heavy grain.
My two boys, l6 and l8 years of age, did
all the binding with ease. l can work
early and late with my machine, working
equally we'll in the heaviest dews. The
closed canvases on the Edward are far su
perior to the open canvases on the Marsh.
There is no possibility Of grass or leaves
falling through and winding the rollers,
which Of itselfis great saving in time
and trouble.
I also cut piece of clover and timothy
seed, and it saved all the seed, while I
would have lost at least one.thirc on the
open canvases. The binders box is all

grain saved in it, which certainly is no
small item. Yours truly.

element that composed it may do next
wear that which was left undone three
years ago.
Rep. What is that!
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
Mr.. Halstead. Three years ago, if the
Cincinnati Convention had nominated
Charles Francis Adams, he would in all
probability have been elected. He Ger.
tainly wovld have carried the State of
Ohio by $4,000 majority; and it does not
seem irrational to think of calling the lib
eral and independent element of the coun.
try together about year from this date
and nominating Charles Francis Adams.
The Democratic party will be sufficiently
in mischief by that time to have terri
fed the country at the prospect of its
coming into complete power. The
Republican party, there is likelihood
will have been SO thoroughly whipped
and demoralized that it will be glad to
take hold of any chance to keep the De-
mocracy from the occupancy and posses
sion Of the whole nation. In this case
the Liberals and Independents, if they
make such a nomination as has beer
named, might count upon its endorsement
not by the Democratic party this time
for that will be elated and marching
headlong with its worst elements in front
but by the Republican party. Then thu
patriotic sentiment that will be stirred
up by the Centennial year may prove ,
very important element in our politics

No Difficulty in cutting Lodged Grain

Howard, Dec. l, 1874.
Messrs. Strother & Conklin, Cresco. la.
The Edward Harvester l bought of you
worked first rate. ! cut 80 acres of
heavy grain, and my boy Is years old
bound one-half of it; 73 acres of this was
on new breaking, which was very heavy,
and part Of it badly lodged. But I had
no difficulty in cutting and e]evating it
with my machine. Two horses drew the
machine with ease. The binders box is
a great grain saver, when the grain is
ripe. l saved all the scatterings. I
would not take $4,000 for my machine
if l could not get another Edward. Yours

Mr.. Halstead. Yes. If you read the
dinner speech Of Carl Schurz you will see
that he suggested the establishment of q
centre of correspondence looking to the
organization of the disaffected elements
that is, the cooperation. upon some def
mite plan, of the voters who are dissatis-
fed with the existing parties. Steps
have been taken to provide this centre of
correspondence.
Reporter. When and how was this
done? 49,,
Mr.. Halstead. It was done by friends
Of Mr.. Schurz, meeting on Wednesday,,
the day after the dinner. They had a
long and serious consultation, and meant
business.
Reporter. Who were present?
Mr.. Halstead. do not care to give a
list Of those present. I was present. but
rather as sympathetic spectator than an
active participant.
Rep. Were resolutions adopted!
MIR. Halstead. No. It would have
been rather too solemn under the circum'
stances to build platform.
Rep. Was q committee appointed!
Mr.. Halstead. Yes.
Rep. Are you member of it
Mr.. Halstead. No. I do not know
how to serve on commissioners did
such thing.
Rep. Can you give any further infor-
nation about this movement!
Mr.. Halstead. Perhaps I could, but l
do not feel at liberty to mention names
and details. The consultation was in
some sense confidential, and while state
the fact that there was q consultation,
and that action was taken, and have
nothing to conceal as to my own senti-
ments and the extent to which l partlci'
pased, must end this right up.
THE OLD PARTIES.
Mr.. Halstead further stated that il
Grant was not the nominee Of the Repub'
licans he thought Bristow or Chief Justice
! Waite would be, though he regards Mr.
Evarts as possibility. Relative to the
Democratic candidate he said:
1t would be venturesome to predict
but if 1 were to guess, as I might if
were Yankee, l should say Bayard o.

THE Fam Mo.

Have you ever heard
OF the creature absurd,
The ridiculous bird, the flamingo?
With neck long and slim,
And legs neat and trim.
And the funniest sort of lingo,
When fishing he gees
He thrusts 10 his nose,-
This numerous bird, the flamingo;
Without bait o. hook,
His long neck a-crook,
Aloft in the air zee his wing go!
A plunge and a dive!
And a fish all alive.
This wonderful bird, tie hamingo.
Brings out to the land,
And gobbles off-hand,
In a twinkle he makes the whole thing GO
Then his mate, the old woman,
As though she were human,
And not an old growing flamingo,
For lack of her share, -r
Sets up great fare,
And makes everything in din 90.
But screech, loud and shrill,
Comes out of the bill
OF the masculine bird, the flamingo,
His eyelids both close,
And he stands on the toes
OF one leg-he's asleep, by jingo!
