ADDRESS OF BRO. E. P. WOODS.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS or STAR OF THE
WEST GRANGE:
| have often wished to say something for
the good of this Order, but conscious OF my
inability to speak | have refrained from
making the attempt, until the present time.
Twill make the attempt to-night-suceed or
fail.
Two years have passed since the oroaniza-
ton of this Grange. l have served YOU as
Master for one year, and have tried to do
my whole duty. I know I have made sew
errors in my rulings, but | have always been
conscientious in my efforts to do Justice.
Since last spring this Grange has not been
in a prosperous condition, and we are all
aware of the cause. Clouds of darkness
have gathered over rs. but I have hopes that
we will yet behold d clear sea, through
which we may sui in safety. / am sure
that with our present Master and officers
elect. we will overcome any difficulties we
may encounter. There nave been quite a
luinbeT added to our roll. The Gfange is
in a good financial condition. / am sorry to
say that many OF our members have proven
IukeWarln in a cause we should all strive to
Delild up. There are some who saw they
never expect to be benefited by the Order.
1t is because they 10 not look at the Grange

In answer to many questions as to what
length of time a '-demit " is good we
wosuld state that, under the law in Montana,
they are good for six months. Should any
grange, by any mishap, forfeit its charter,
or find it necessary to disorganize on ac-
count of their Inability to keep up the Order
to it's proper standard, the faithful members
who desire desire to keep in fellowship with
the Order will find it necessary to attach
themselves to the grange nearest to them.

BRIDGING THE BLOODY cHAsM.

A correspondent Of the Elmyra Husband
man, writing to that paper some reminis-
cences of a meeting of Patrons, concludes as
follows:
The general good feeling prevailing to-
day between the members of the Order is
mainly due to the influence of our sisters.
The warm-hearted Southern nature, ever
ready to take fire at real or fancied wrongs.
has met the Northern farmer more than half
way on the common ground of brotherly
love. The sword has been truly turned into
the ploughshare, and instead of bitter ami
mosities, a true feeling of regard and es-
TEEN is springing up in the breasts Of all,
and while party spirit is running high in
politics, each bent OF doing the most good
for their common country, this gigantic Or
der is quietly working out the great prob
lem Which our statesmen have been so long
bafiled over, and to-day / saw in Central
New York, surrounded by an audience of
nearly four thousand people, a son of South
Carolina, and the representative of thou
sands Of noble men and women in that
State who sent their greetings and love by
this, their son, to their Northern friends.
He was only a farmer, and a casual observer
would never dream of the eloquent fire and
language that lay hidden under that plain
exterior, but he kept the vast audience en-
thralled-and that the stirring, strong senti-
ments that he uttered came from his heart.
no one who was SO fortunate as to hear him
would doubt for a moment. His mission
here among us is a grand one, and that he
may be successful and meet with as large a
body OF hearers wherever he goes will be
the honest wish of all who heard him to-
day. The farmers, ever ready for action in
peace or war, are naturally the ones to
bring about the good feeling and faith thai
is now wanted to heal any breaches that
may be left in the hearts of those North and
south. II they are not gifted with diplo-
macy or wealth they have large hearts and
honest convictions of right or wrong. and
the time is rapidly approaching when the
covert sneers and jokes at the expense of
the farmers movement will be changed to
wonder and admiration at the gratifying re-
suits accomplished.

that asylum of peace and enjoyment so
much sought after by those wearied with
the strife of the commercial world, In fact,
we see in it everything that enlightens,
strengthens, ennobles and sustains mani
kind.

regret to have TO announce to you an assas-
sination committed on Thursday night on the
person of his Highness Hussein Ayni Pasha and
his Excellency Rachd Pasha. Hassan, the as

tary school four years ago as lieutenant; and
afterward was appointed captain to be sent to

The guards, thinking he was still an aide
