PRESCOTT.

The WRONG BoY--An incident occurred at
the Mondell House one evening last week,
which is worth relating. A commercial tour
st from 81. Paul, came into the Hotel with a
very business like air, and asked why the
proprietor was not aroundl Being anxious to
display a little wit, he said to little black
eyed boy, (who happened 10 I've older than lie
looked ''Can You tell me what day Of the
month the fourth Of July comes onl' The
boy took a little time deliberate he looked
his man over and finally in a very sarcastic
manner, which did full justice TO the occasion,
said.-"Did understand you TO say you were
from Chicago, or Point Douglasl" The boy
five points ahead-a huge laugh, and prop0-
sition that "St. Paul" should come down with
he apples, or some other innocent treat. est
Paul" took up O newspaper and tried 70 act
unconcerned. Don't think he read any,
Finally, feeling that he must compliment the
boz. hc said: "You seem TO he pretty smart,
where did you get your educationp Sails the
boy, 81 got my education in Chicago. con-
olude, sir, that you got yours At Point Doug
las.p Boy ten points ahead. A hearty laugh
The boy concluding Il was too dry TO spar with
one that displayed so little genius, then said:
"Mr 81. Paul, & Your purse is too thin 70
treat, win 60 home" laugh No. 2. Our 81

wrong boy. We believe the boys name T.

Under this caption, a correspondent OF
Colman's Rural World has this to say
AS to the superiority Of object-teaching
over every other method Of lmparting in
struction, there is now, probably, 40 differ
ence of opinion. Show q child the picture
of a house, a doll, a bird or a tree, and in
stantly its little mind takes in the idea, mind
picture, of the thing itself. Tn selecting a
tinny seed to illustrate the planting OF a
principle IN the human mind, which was to
be its governor and guide, the Great Teacher
gave an example of the true, natural and
proper method of teaching. In all ages the
pen of the ready writer, the brush OF the
painter, and the chisel of the stone cutter,
as instructors of mankind have gone hand
in hand. Poets, painters and sculptors have
labored, and with success, to give us their
loftiest conceptions Of all that is great, noble
and attractive in the human character, rs
well as all thatis mean, odious and repulsive.
Both the canvas aud the marble have given
us, in emblem, the attractive graces of faith.
hope and charity, while the hideous and re-
pulsive features of envy, detraction and de-
spair convey their own lesson. Were ispos-

sible, amid all the conflicting elements al
work, to ascertain by some unerring practi-
cal test, the effect of the teachings of ouI
ritual upon the minds and hearts of the vast
membership of the order, our faith and hope
would be increased and strengthened by the
revelation that the order, even during its
breef existence, had done something towards
its own Improvement and the improvement
of society, socially, morally and intellectu-
ally. So much then for the conception of
an idea, and its embodiment III a practical
and concrete form. Edifices for the comfort,
convenience and delight of mankind, will
yet be constructed-first. in the mind Of the
builder, which will furnish a contrast as
striking as is now presented between the
mansion of the millionaire and the tenement
house; and this change will be brought
about by cooperation. When the last man
and not till then, will the final word be
spoken, there is nc more work, the
labors Of the benefactors of the race will
cease. We stand higher and see farther to-
day than we did seven years ago. Then,
but two words-farmers, unite-were heard
here and there in the land. But they were
words of magical power. To-day, another
word, equally if not more potential, is heard
in connection, and that word is-co-operate.
A great warrior was advised to pursue a
defeated foe, mo- replied he, eve have
glory enough for one day. 1t is glory
enough for one man to leave behind him the
im~perishable monuments of his mind and
will in the organization of the grange. Like
those Of Franklin, Washington, Jefferson
will live when envy and detraction shall
have lost their power.

PROGRESS OF RATION.

The spirit of cooperation is constantly
on the increase in America. The Amer
lean cooperative union store, at Louisville.
has proven q success, and given sati ~staction
to the stockholders and customers. The Sow
ereigns of Industry have given cooperative
stores a fair test, and they have placed many
dollars in the pockets of poor mechanics.
There have been organized in Kentucky
many cooperative stores among the oranges,
md so far us our information reaches, not
one has yet failed to accomplish the expect
ed ends. There should be a cooperative
store in every neighborhood where there are
enough people to sustain it. It don'trequire
much money to get up a cooperative store,
only such articles as the people will actually
want, and have the cash to pay tor. Where
a cooperative store is established, every
man becomes his own merchant, and if a
Woman makes ten pounds of butter and sells
it to the store, the after profits of the butter
will proportionally return to her pocket, il
she holds a share in the store. The custom
ers get their dividends in proportion to their
purchases from the store, and the good eff
fects are realized by persons who may not
be stockholders. Cooperation will become
as popular in America as itnowi is in Europe,
saving millions to those engaging in it, and
always helping the poor.-LouisuiWe Ag-

Seven hundred thousand Changers now
enrolled; still there is room for more.
The Patrons Of Pennsylvania, Delaware
and Maryland will appear in great force at
the opening of the Centennial. The ground
set apart for their use will be in readiness for
the brotherhood, and Changers will here
find good accommodations at veryl low prices
during their visit to the great National Ju-
bilee.
The Patrons are not too far advanced in
the knowledge Of political ethics not to
know that a subdivision of labor is the high
est order of civilization. We have use for
every branch of industry in existence, and
more still if the happiness OF mankind can be
promoted thereby. Grange philosophy at
tempts to tear down no industry, but to build
up the greatest Of all-farming-and to har-
monte the labor of the world, so that in ev-
cry calling the " laborer shall be worthy of
his hire" and conversely, that the shire
shall be worthy of the labor

freely the usury laws Of the c~ountry-that

kings" This will hasten the time when the
national government will make the rates of
interests uniform throughout the Union, and
place usury at such a low rate that hereaf-
ter money sharks cannot corner the curren-
cv, or speculate on the Governments credit
known as money.

trained in the Oranges to public speaking,

through such narrow passways that en-

Many unjust and useless criticisms are 90
ing the rounds of the press against the Sec
rotary OF the National Grange, 0. II. Kelley,
on account of his connection with an en-
lgration company, who desire to improve
and settle a large body of land in Florida.
This is all wrong. Brother Kelley has a
right to attend to any outside business, pro-
vIded 1T does not interfere with his duties in
his official position. He stated to the Exc
cutive committee that the salary he received
not sufficient for his full upport unless
ne also had the privilege of doing whatever
ne could outside, consistently with his off,
sial duties, and this he is only doing in his
with the Florida Land Company.
We wish him success.

MAY, CAN, MUST, MIGHT, COULD, w0ULI
AND SHOULD, OR THE POTENTIAL
MOOD OF THE GRANGE.
The grange may in some distant future
sink into an abyss OF failure, but the proba
bilities of so deplorable an event are very
vague; a failure it never can truly be, tol
the vast and substantial benefits already
resulting from it is the best assurance Of
success.
The grange can accomplish such results as
to stand IN enduring monument, the pride
and glory of the rural population Of the
world.
The grange must ever be true to its princi-
pies it's onward march must be one of true
progress and higher Development, that it
may never be said of it what a witty political
orator once said OF our party promises, who
compared them to Western roads which
opened stately enough with stately trees on
either side to tempt the traveller, but soon
| became narrower and narrower, and at last
| ended in a squirrel track, which ran up a
tree,
The grange might exert a much greater
power for good than it has yet exercised.
The true aims and purposes of the order are
construed in far too narrow a spirit, and the
scope In which it works in many of our SUBJ
ordinate oranges is less limited than its true
designs indicate. The sons and daughters
of the grange demand a broader culture,
superior educational facilities, and a high
moral tone, in order to advantageously COM
pete with the professional aristocracy. The
grange is laying the cornerstone for this de-
sirable issue.
The grange could exert an influence in be-
half Of the sanative condition Of the laboring
classes also in the identifying Of their
homes, in order that they may harmonic
with natures plan which ever mingles beau
ty with the sterner qualities of utility, and
make them attractive centers for the children
clustered aruund the firesides, whose souls
always delight in forms of beauty. Such
homes will be to those who go from them
into the outer world, bright stars to which
their thoughts will ever turn with loving re-
membrane.
The grange would benefit the farmers
family to a much wider extent if he would
more generally bring his sons and daughters
within its gates. TO the young people of
the land It's educational advantages are the
most ~forceful, and as they are some day to
take tile places which their parents now oc-
cupy, they should DO onjoying tho privileges
which will fit them for the fulfllment Of
their duties to the highest advantage.
the social requirements of youth are
and the inducements offered by the
grange in their behalf should not be neglect
ed, as it may tend to strengthen their love
for country life, and counteract the tendency
low so prevalent for the e~xcitements OF the
The grange members should be earnest in
their purposes, faithful in their obligations,
lntiring in their work, patient in their ex-
pectations, temperate in all things, unceas-
ingly strive for the highest moral and intel
ectual elevation, and ever exercise true
.orotherly and sisterly love.-Cor. Dnlgo
