THE BENEFITS OF THE GRANGE.

The Grange is a moral organization; the
virtues of honesty, integrity and trugality,
are taught and kept constantly before the
minds OF the members, and no one is cnti-
tied to membership who is dishonest, i'll
temperate, vulgar or profane. 1t is also a
social organization, for the reason that those
brothers and sisters meeting in happy uni
son, rejoicing together in that fraternal teel-
ing which has q tendency to improve socie-
ty. and make us willing to listen to the
wants and relieve the distresses of poor, un-
fortunate sisters and brothers. 1t is also an
intellectual organization, for in the Grange,
brother strikes hand with brother, and sis
ter with sister, and each one tries to eluci-
date, enlighten and invigorate each other.
It also helps to educate them in their house,
home and field duties, as we well know
that a good housewife will in exemplifca-
ton of her duty. stimulate her sisters to
go and Go likewise. Also a pleasant, attrac-
tive and well-ordered house cannot fail to
inspire an enthusiasm which cannot be re-
sisted, and which must make an impression
that epnnot be easily erased. 80 also with
the farm ; the brother who raises two BUSH
els of corn or other crops, when the other
raises but one, and exempliies it, must and
VIA awaken a desire in all others to obtain
4 similar result.-NutionaI Granger.

The oranges in Texas are in a most flour

are used as schools, debating societies, and

The Knickerbocker Grange, of New York
cautions all 1nernper of tho Order to scrrlti-
nize with care every circular purporting to
come from that city, and to forward no
money to any individual or firm not men,
bers of the Order or regular bonded agents,
and fraternally offers to examine and report
upon any question that may arise upon any
matters pertaining to New York City, such
as the standing of various firms, etc.
The Grange store at Hyde Park, Vt, is
selling more goods to outsiders than all the
other stores in the town, besides supplying
several oranges with goods.
Changers are generally enthusiastic, and
SO much in earnest in the matter of cooper
alive stores that the imperfect knowledge of
many committees appointed leads them into
numerous errors and difficulties. A little
more care and time in studying into plans
and causes would save many from ship
wreck, in plunging headlong into business
which they know little or nothing about.
A general Esprit Of progress" is mani
tested among the members of subordi-
nate oranges everywhere. Subjects for dis
cussion are chosen inc members appointed
beforehand to elucidate them, who accom-
push their task with an ability that shows a
most rapid advance of intelligence among
the brethren of our Order. Never has there
been so much learned within the short snace
Of three years.
The Patrons of Lenawee county, Michi-

THE GRANGE.

Comparatively speaking it is but ada.
since the farmers organized into what the,
called the Grange. The object of this or
ganization was not to wage a warfare agains
any portion of community but in the HOPE
that by unity and concentration to protec
themselves from those who preyed upor
and sapped the cream from their earnings
In the history of our country no organiza
ton has so rapidly grown up and so imme
diately made its power felt, and as rapid has
been the advantageous results to those who
organized and originated it. The results &C
complished have been far greater than the
anticipation of those who conceived the idea
of the organization and what they will &C.
%compllsh it the Grange continues true to its
principles is beyond the ken of any Twin
man. It's march onward must be one al
true progress and higher development, for
the Grange can, and will, produce results
that will stand an enduring monument to
the PRIDE and glory of the rural population
of the world. The true aims of the Order
are as yet construed. in far too narrow a
spirit and it does not take Us wide o scope as
it should and as it is yet destined to take.
The sons and daughters of the Grange de-
mand a broader culture, superior education
al facilities, and a high moral tone, is order
to advantageously compete with the pro-
fessional aristocracy, and the grange is lay
ing the corner stohe for this desirable issue.
The Grange could exert all influence in
behalf of the sanative condition of the la
boring classes; also in the identifying of
their homes, in order that they may har-
monte with Natures plan which ever MN

ity, and makes them attractive centers Tor

tend to strengthen their love for country

prevalent for the excitements of the city.

w WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Gen. Bennett,
Chief Of Ordnance, has appointed COM
mission of ordnance officers to proceed
to Philadelphia to investigate an inven-
tion of Elridge Wheeler and report upon
this wonder.
Admiral Porter, who has examined a
model, expressed high opinion of it..
Millions of dollars have been expended
by the different nations of the earth in
experimenting without success with the
problem which he has solved.
Mr.. Wheeler, it is said, has succeeded
in manufacturing an iron gun, with a
steel lining, which, in the opinion ofI0rd-
nance officers OF The army and navy, is
destined to revolutionize the gun busi-
ness all over the world.
The invention of Mr.. Wheeler is
thought to be a rediscovery of the art
of manufacturing the famous Damascus
blade. 1t is understood that the Prus-
sian Government has sent commission
to examine the invention.

they do not propose to resurrect the
bill, but that any attempt to bring the
