THE FARM.
THE ORDER AND STOCK IMPROVING.

Pleasant Lake Grange $50, Min
nesota, deserves special credit as the
first Grange, $50 far as the World is
alvarez to utilize the Order in a de-
cidedly beneficial and obvious d.
rection. Its membershave purchased
a pair of blooded bulls, one a Short
Horn and one Jersey, which will
be employed in improving their
cattle. Ills safe to predict that the
investment will prove a profitable
one Immediately, while the indirect
advantages accruing, it will be diff
cult to overrate. So little is the
additional expense of replacing a
scrub with 3 good animal, that it is
the very acme and absurdity Of mig
gardliness to fail in so simple. but
important a detail. There is still
excuse for failing to do this when,
the Grange is in existence, and
twenty or thirty farmers in moderate
circumstances can. by combination,
obtain all the advantages of. ample
capital. Indeed this whole field
might with propriety and benefit be
undertaken by the Order. Ii the
lecturers willset themselves to col
Letting and collating facts and figures
concerning the difference in cost and
return between thorough cultivation
and half cultivation. between scrub
cattle and Short Horns, between
melon-seed pigs and Poland Chinas,
and impress these duly upon the
minds Of members, and further viii
endeavor to pursnade all that there
is which withholdeth more than is
meet but tendeth to poverty, they
will be enabled 10 do work whose
benefits Will be for all time and to. be
reckoned by millions Of dollars.

The walnut has always been a

The first two years the growth might
be cultivated with some crop. This

to obstruct cultivation, consequently
would be advisable for division fences.

Remarkable if True.

The following incident of the famine,
reported by the Collector of Monghyr, is,
says the "Times of India" certainly re-
markable:
"A woman of the fishing caste was Sit
ting by the side of the Ganges, some one
hundred miles from here, in the Patns
District, about daylight Of the sixteenth:
of August Suddenly the bank on which,
she was sitting gave way, and she fell in
to the water, dragging with her q large
bundle of castor-oil sticks which she Was
carrying at the time She managed to
support herself on these sticks which
formep kind Of life-buoy, and she was
carried down by the current, which was
then running at q great pace. As each
village or port was passed, she shouted
to the villagers to help her, but no one
came to her relief. In this way she was
carried nearly one hundred miles. and
fortunately for her, when she had been.
twenty four hours in water, she passed BY
Monghyr, and was rescued by Col. Muir.
ry, who seeing her floating by, sent his.
private boat and rescued her. Tho wo-
man did not appear much the worse for.
her prolonged stay in the water, but nat
urally was much impressed by the fact Of
her being rescued by European, whens
so many Of her own caste had declined
to help her. She was provided with: ..
railway ticket to Patna, together with.
food and clothing from the relief funds."'

/ LeEana Of tie lro,, Mask.

During the seventeen years confno-
ment Of this strange prisoner 1t Sainte
Marguerite, st. Mars, who brought him
to the fortress, was replaced BY Mon
sieur de Bonpart, a governor. Tho
daughter Of the latter, just energinE
from childhood to womanhood, grew up
with this mystery around her. She hsd
seen the graceful figure of the masked
prisoner promenading at night upon the
terrace and at worship in the chspef,
whera.lle was forbidden to speak or un-,
cover his face, the soldiers in attendance
would have their pieces always pointed
towark him, il he should attempt to do
either She discovered that her father a.
ways treated him with the greatest re-
spect, serving him bareheaded and stand
ing. His tabls.service was of massive
silver, his dress of the richest velvet, he
wore the finest linen and most costly
lace. She had heard her father accident.
ly speak of him as "The Prince" No
wonder that his sad fate. occupied her
theuglts by day and his noble figure
haunted ber dreams by night. She, too,
was very young and. beautiful, and their
eyes occasionally met in chapel. He
sang beautifully and was very skillful
performer on the guitar. 1t is said she
climbed the rocks under the terrace and
sang sweet songs to the poor captive
Thus the romantic love sprang up BE-
tween them, and as it gained strength,
the young giIl dared to purloin the keys
from her father and so obtained access to,
the prisoner. Wien the governor dis
covered his chlld's treachery, he wa
struck with the greatest dismay. His
oath was binding upon him to put i'm
mediately to death any one who had spo-
ken to the prisoner. But she confessed
her love for himand pleaded pitiously for
her young life. The captive also, to
whom the governor was much attached,
joined his prayers to hers and implored
that they might be made man and wife,
and then the secret would be safe. The
governor was not stern enough to immo-
late his child, and perhaps a CLEAN of
ambition may have flashed across his
mind, as, in the event of the death Of.
Louis XIV. the prisoner would be &C.
knowledgcd and his daughter sit on tho
| throne of France. However. their nup-
tials were performed by the priest Of tho.
castle in the dead Of night, and all were.
sworn to secrecy. From this union two
children were born. A Awhisper of this
reaching the ears of the Minister the
Maruis of Louvois, the prisoner was i'm
mediately removed to the Bastile for
safer keeping; and the mother, the priest
and governor disappeared. The child
ren were sent to Corsica, to be brought
up in obscurity under the name of their
grandfather, Bonpart, which was corrup-
ted into Bonapartc. And thus, says the
lcgand, Providence avenged the wrongs
of the twin-brother of Louis XIV, and
restored the Oldest branch of the .Bour.
bon line to the throne of France.-"Ba-
zaine's Prison." Scribner tor January.
