1t becomes our bounden duty as
Patrons to adhere to the noble
teachings Of the Order. She i'm
parts many noble and instructive
and important lessons, some of
which we hope to be able to cohsid
er. She lnculcates economy. Rig
id economy is the hinge upon which
the financial gate opens to the ave-
nue. that leads out to prosperity and
wealth. Parsimony is meanness
and never'leads to any noble or ele-
waiting position, but the praatice Of
economy is not only a duty but a
noble virtue. It teaches frugality
in the necessary expenditures of
money, or any commodity that is
consumed or used. To be econom-
ical in the expenditure of money is
to purchase absolute necessities,
such as will enhance our comfort
and happiness. and not pompous
things for show merely because 9TH
ers may. By economy of time, Of
labor, of implements, much useful
information may be obtained, much
trouble and anxiety avoided, and
much wear and tear from friction,
exposure and neglect. saved. She
mildly encourages temperance.
This is not limited to the excessive
use Of Intoxicating liquors. Ebriety
is vice, and should be avoiced by
all Patrons as the serpent sub rosa,
or as being beneath the dignity Of a
true gentleman. temperance in
eating is enjoined; temperance in
our sayings and actions should ever
be regarded. By so doing we pro-
mote our own happiness and that of
those with whom we associate.
Thus many Of the goading stings Of
society will be avoided, and each
will learn to regard his fellow-being

Cheap transportation was nnder-
stood to be the goal of the Changers
ambition, the raisou Rekrie of the
Grange, and it is very hard to un-
derstand how the most ambitious
Granger could aspire to any greater
excess of cheapness than he has
had along the great grain route du-
ring the present season. The cur
rent complaint that it takes two
bushels Of grain to get one to mar
ket, loses something of its force
when grain is carried from Chicago
to New York at 9Z8 cents a bushel
for wheat and $40 cents a bushel for
corn. During the month of June
lake freights from Chicago to Bufa-
10 have been as low as the modest
figure Of 25s cents for wheat, and
~ cents for corn, the vessel paying
e per cent per bushel for unloading,
and the elevator charges at Buffalo
having disappeared during an 'ele-
vator war; Now it has been main
tanned by grave and eminent author
ty, that when the railroads put up
the freight tariff on grain $ cents on
a bushel, they diminish the value Of
the farms Of the Northwest by fifty
millions of dollars; how much do
they add to the value of these farms
when their competition reduces the
grain rates as it has done this sum-
mer, and the last by some twenty
cents a bushel:"
So discourses that great and good
paper the Missouri Democrat, of
July g.. But it is not the conun-
drum proposed by the Democrat
that bothers the Granger" 1t is
this: How can railroads &c., that
never could afford to carry wheat
for less than IS to IS cents per
bushel manage to make a comforta-
bic living at 10? We tremble for
the railroads and steamers if two
years ago they told the truth.
The facts are, as we are told, the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad made
more money within the past six
months in doing business at cheap
rates than it ever did in proportion
since it was open to the Ohio river.

The Centennial celebration Of
our National Independence, by a
Joint exhibition of the industries and
inventions of the world, is a grand
idea.
If nothing better should result
than change from mere noise and
powder, to some other modes Of
celebration, in the future it will be
worth all that it will cost.
Surely the friends of popular edu.
eaton in this country, shonld hail
the coming international exhibition
at Philadelphia with joy; and should
enter heartily and earnestly into the
work Of preparation for the event.
No pains should be spared to make
a full and true representation of the
workings OF our public school sys-
tenn. This can be accomplished if
teachers, school boards and superin-
tendents will begin at once and
work with a will.
But the Exposition, itself, will be
one of the best schools. It is uni
versally admitted that travelling is
one of the very best means of OBJ
tanning knowledge. This exposi-
ton will bring together the products
of genius and industry as we'll as the
peculiar products of nature from ev-
cry part of the world. What would
ordinarily take years of time and
large sums of money to gain, can be
seen and learned in a few days.
What favorable opportunity for all
our common school teachers!
Teachers, a visit to Philadelphia
during next Summers vacation will
be to you a voyage around the
world. If you will go with your
eyes open and minds at work, it will
be better for you than years study
at the normal school.

cord-wood merchant and asked him if he

"Oh, yes" sung out the dealer in drowned
cottonwood.
The Dick was quickly landed, and enough
wood-about fifty cords-was taken aboard to
run her into New Orleans and back to wood
pile. When the clerk, Alexander jenkins,
counted out the money and asked the wood
man to sign receipt therefore, he refused,
whereupon Capt. b. asked him, if he had not
agreed to take the protfered Atchafalaya
