ing that Louisa b. Campbell and Ferdi-

at the Pierrepont House, at 3 O'Clock
on the afternoon Of that day, by each of
those clergymen. The consequences
were alarming. Clergyman after cler-
gvman beset the clerk Of that hotel dur

lowing 3 o'clock. Each showed his note
and asked for his bridegroom; was told
that there was no such thing in the

The State Grange of Massachusetts,
met at Springfield on the 14th of De-
cember. The Plowman says:
"The attendance was numerous. and
the prevailing sentiment was one of
faith and energy. a finer looking
body of men it would be difficult TO
bring together within the limits of the
commonwealth. They wore the APP
pearance of solidity and positive per-
sonal influence. In point of numbers
merely, the meeting was the largest
grange meeting ever convened in the
State. The State Grange showed very
clearly that its sole purpose was bust
ness, and business that was to leave
its impression behind. Supplement
ing. as the grange does, the local work
of the societies and the special work
of the State Board of Agriculture, it
tends with its influence TO awaken
still wider and warmer interest in agri-
cultural life and pursuits, and in a
practical and daily sense includes all
the objects of their care. The farming
community of Massachusetts, have in
the State Grange supervisory body
of picked men who will jealousy see
that its living interests receive no
harm from any quarter. Resolutions
were discussed and adopted, before
adjournment, in favor of the taxation
of church property, of the savings
banks deposits, and of rcmitting so
much as constitute the double taxa
ton on real property, through the tax
ing of mortgages"

Meeting of Metrons.

At the last annual session of the
California State Grange, the Matrons
in attendance had special session by
themselves, which was reported to the
Pacific Rural Press by Jennie c. Carr.
Ii shows what subjects the women de-
sire TO discuss and accords with the
suggestion made by us, that the grange
hall should be so constructed that i'll
case the discussions in the grange on
special farm topics, possessed no spe-
cial attraction TO the ladies, that they
could retire to the grange parlor and
discuss questions of special interest to
themselves. The report says:
There was no formality, each pre-
senting her views on the good OF the
order, and other subjects, as the spirit
moved. An appropriate working
dress for women, and the relation OF
dress TO health, were considered. Miss
Taft, OF Boston, presented some new
ly patented articles of wsman's wear,
which were greatly admired. The
comfort corset exhibited by her, is
desideratum for ladies who feel as
though they were falling to pieces in
true hygienic dress.
None of those corsets are sold except
Oh exact measurements Of the person
to be fitted. They have broad Shout
der pieces, modelled to the curves of
the shoulder and neck, and from these
all the undergarmcnts are suspended.
The laces are under the arms and adj
Unstable at will, and the garment is
really not so much of corset as a
skirt, back aud chest supporter. AT
ter Miss Taft had concluded her exhi-
bition of these and children's waists,
Mrs. Carr illustrated principles of the
hygienic dress with doll completely
rugged, from neck-tie TO low-heeled
shoes. Some excellent patterns for
children's clothes were displayed. All
these new-fangled garments are ex-
ceedingly simple in form and finish.
The Matrons then discussed the So
eial features of the order, and the
means by which these could be brought
TO the front in respect to interest. 1t
was agreed that too little attention
was paid to singing, and it was rec
omended that social gatherings should
be had in the homes of Patrons-a
kind of grange singing school. In the
long evenings these might be made |
basket parties such as we used to
have during the war"
The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1876-01-13

The object of the Grange must be
kept distinctly in view. All Patrons
ought TO know what they are. Unity
of action among the farming class is
ono Of the objects. Social, intellectual,
moral and material Improvement are
o:her objects. The improvement of
the general condition of the farmer is
sought for, by giving more attention
opnblic schools, public libraries, pub
lie meetings, public highways, public
laws and public men-watching care
fully their course, TO ascertain if they
are true TO the best interests of the
people.
Farmers are now wide-awake, watch
full, seeking for light and information,
and the powerful influence of the
Grange is at the bottom of it. Sus-
tain the Grange. 1t is the farmers
best friend.

Hay for Fuel.

II is well known, says the Progress
size Farmer, that last winter thou
sands of families were kept from freez-
ing, in northwestern Iowa, by burn
ing loose prairie hay i'll common
stoves. At the Dubuqe Exposition,
held the first week of September, Mr..
August Beadle, of Ceresco, Howard
county, exhibited stove which sup
piled, from fourteen pounds of pressed
hay, abundant heat for two hours and
half. During this time baking and
other cooking was safely and thorough
ly done. The hay was pressed by a
simple machine which any child can
use.
The strangest part of it all is that
some inventive genius, here in the
west, has not invented a stove suitable
for the purpose, long ago. Then our
farmers would not be under the pain
full necessity of burning their corn for
fuel that their stock died fer the want
of last fall. We do not know whether
it is at all practicable, but no evil can
result from the agitation of the sub
ject, and much good may come from it.

WineSap Apples.

The beauty and excellence Of this APP
pie is scarcely surpassed by any other
of its season, and when taking into ac-
count the hardness and productive
ness Of the tree it cannot be recon-
mended teo highly. We have some
here now that came from middle Ar
kansas in the fall, that are as solid as
when taken from the tree, while some
OF ourown grown here are in good eat
ing condition. This shows its value
further south. Few apples have sus-
tanned such a high reputation for so
long period. If our ideas are cor
rect, it is now a hundred years old

The Farmers Troubles.

Mr.. Harris, in his December "Walks
and Talks" says:
Half our troubles are imaginary.
The remedy for these is hope; and the
remedy for the other half is work
Work will give us hope, and hope
makes labor easy. What will not lit
tie extra work do for our comfort. and
the comfort of our families? One
half hours extra work day, would
make all the difference between dis
spirited household and home of COM
fort. Let a poor discouraged man try
it. Brooding over our troubles does
no good. 1t viii pay no debts. Work
will make q creditor wait, And let
me say right here, that / do not think
farmers, as class, or their families,
are given to extravaganza in dress OF
in their style of living. just now the
tendency is all the other way. They
are spending less than usual. And it
is capital time to make improve
ments. In periods of general depres-
sion like the present, some people seem
TO think that the world is coming to an
end. Be that as it may it is wise in us
to continue blowing and sowing. It's
a great thing to feed and clothe the
world. We hove had a good breakfast,
and shall soon want good dinner,and
will not want to go TO bed without
supper, aud tomorrow we shall want
another breakfast, dinner and supper,
and so on during all the days of the
week, and the month, and the year.
There are three hundred and sixty-five
and quarter days in the year. Sup
pose we should forget that one-quarter
Of day, and the world OH the first of
January next should wake up and find
no break fast. There would be fine
rumpus when the world found that it
had to wait six hours for dinner on an
empty stomach. Why, then, need a
farmer fear. His products will never
go out of fashion. Bread, milk, but
ter, cheese, beef, mutton, pork, poul-
try, eggs, fruit and potatoes, will be
wanted every day, until the end of
time. And it is our duty and our in
terest to see that the world does not
come to an end for the want of food.

THE parallel between the downfall Of
Lord Bacon in 1921 and Secretary Belk.
nap in 1876 is very close one. 1t is his
tory repeating itself. Hume speaking Of
the corruption Of the time and the action
OF Parliament, and referring particularly
to the impeachment Of Bacon, says:
His want Of economy and his indulg.
ence to servants had involved him in ne
cessities; and, in order to supply his pro-
digality, he had been tempted to take brides
by the title Of presents, and that in a very
open manner, from suitors in chanCery,
The chancellor, conscious OF guilt, dcpre-
Gated the vengeance Of his Judges, and en-
deavored by 4 general avowal TO escape
the confusion OF strioter inquiry. The
Lords insisted on particular confession
OF all his corruptions. He acknowledged
twenty.eight articles, and was sentenced
to pay fine Of 100000, to be imprisoned
in the Tower during the Kings pleasure,
to be forever incapable for any office,
place, or employment, and never again to
sitin Parliament or come within the verge
ofthe Court.
The subsequent events in the case OF
Lord Bacon, however, are not likely to be
repeated in the case Of Belknap. Bacon
in little time was released by the King,
who RENTED his fine as well as all The
other parts Of his sentence, and conferred
on him pension Of FL 800 year.
