| importantes, como acusar alguno,
de falta 6 cr1men que haya come
lido Ga
! Desgraciadamente este hermoso y
solemne juramento Sc prostituye con
frecuencia, empleandose, sobre todo,
en- las discusiones. Los que 10 pro-
nuncian son desde luegO puestos en-
prision despues conducidos ante ell
rey. ST Ell asunto que haya obligado
& hacer uso de dicho juramento, Sc
califca de bastante importancia, el
que 10 pronuncia abusivamente en-
vano, es decapitadO. En- case contra.
rio, acusado y acusador son senten-
ciados tambien la ultima pena, pOr
haber profanado dicho juramento. La
simple articulation de esta formula
hecha por ell REQ despues de senten-
ciado q muerte, lie da derecho a ser
pasado por las armas y no decapitado.
Por este y para impedir. que los reos
puodan pronunciarlo, va en- poder de
los ejecutores, estos sujetan per .el
cuello las vlctimas, pasandolas un
cuchillo trav6s de los carrillos, de.
modo que les atraviese la lengua.
Cuaiquiera que oye prOnunclar este
gran juramento, esta en- la obligation
de denunciar los que Sc hayan SER
vido de 6l, deteni6ndolos por 81 y
reclamando ell auxilio del primer tram
seunte para conducir a prision al
delinouonte.
Este juramento sagrado trae un
orlgen antique datando de la 6pOca
mas funesta de la historic de los
achantis. Sogun SO refere en- esta,
uno de sus reyes declare la guerra
contra otro distrito limitrofe. El
mismo rey dicigfa las operaciones de
la campana, asistido de su hermano v
de I'm hijo de este, ambos principles
herederos del reino. Hallandose un
dia con sus tr0pas acampadas en- una
pequena poblacion llamada Crowanti,
saieron los tres principles hacia un
bosque Immediate, para celebrar con-
sejo y deliherar sobrO 10 que deblan
hacer, toda vez cue ell enemigO iba
corcandoles y cerrando el paso. Des-
graciadamento eligieron para teatro
de sTs confercncias ell sitio cerca del
cl7al Sc hallaba emboscado ell enemigo.
Mientras acordaban las medidas que
pr0cedla tomar, fueron sorprendidos
Y muertos, dispersandose su ejer-
CitO.
Las vencidos achantis volyieron sin
embargo a recoger los cadaveres de
sus prlncipes y los condujeron a Gu.
masia. El dia de esta catastrofe fu6
un s3bado. En- este desastre nacional,
Sc haIla fllndado dlcho gran juramen-
to y desde ent6nces esta expresamen-
te prohibido pronunciar el nombre dc
aQuel desgraciado rey, y solo Sc le
escoge entire todos para jurar por
ell.
Hay tres maneras de formular este
jnramento: Ia una consiste en- pro-
nunciar ell nombre del rey; la segun-
dsb jurar por las tres indicadas v1cti-
mas y la tercera por ell dia del sabado.
Estas tres formulas dc juramento tie
nen igual valor entire los achantis y
Sc les da la misma signifcacion.

A Square Blow.

In his address TO the Patrons of Cali
fornia, the worthy State Master, j. V.
Webster, goes straight for the mark
when lie uses the following words
.QuestioYs vital to the interests of
the order and to our business rela-
tons, are continually arising, which
need direct solution with a full COM
prehension. We should strive to
make the Grange the granary of the
moral, intellectual and experimental
products of life, where each Patron
should bring his offering of whatever
kind or nature that tends to the de-
velopmsnt and progress of man.
No meeting of the Grange-not even
the fraction of an hou. Curing its ses-
sion-should be uselessly spent; for, in
our work, especially, time is money;
and every member who attends the
grange expects to receive full compen~
sation-either in knowledge, expert
ence or pleasure-for the lime and SER
vice rendered. Let every member
think of this and determine to be USE
full, both by taking an active interest
in the exercises of the order and by
introducing subjects of practical ill.,
terest for discussion; by calling forth
the practical experiences of the broth
ers and sisters, to make il living
heritage earnest, pleasant, and as
permanent in its beneficial workings
as the declaration Of the purposes of
this order avow it was designed to be-
