ARBITRATION.

Among the benefits to be derived
from the organization of the Order OF
the Patrons of Husbandry, we desire to
draw the attention of our readers 10 the
system of arbitration" Why should
orr farmer, on the slightest provoca-
ton, ego to lava" Has any one of
them made anything by it, Even if
they have gained their case, have they
not generally been the losers? And
how many, if not the majority of law
suits, can be avoided by simply con-
senting to appear before commission
of three, selected by each Grange, whose
business is to hear and decide such
cases as may be brought before them,
it being understood that all the mem
bers of the Grange agree to abide by
the decision rendered by this commit
tee. Hasty actions will be prevented,
and all of US will acknowledge that
many law suits are the result Of passion,
often bitterly repented of. We would
beg our Oranges to consider this sub
ject well, and try their best to have
COMMITTEE of Arbitration" established
I in each Grange. 1t should be made
law that any case not amounting to
more than the value of s. should be
brought before the committee. We
have seen the salutary influence of such
committees. In the kingdom of Den
mark, where it has existed fer more
than thirty-ive years, nobody can 60
| before the court with case without first
having submitted it 10 the committee.
If this fails to settle the difficulty, then
they can proceed to law Seldom does
minor case fail to be settled before
These committees; thus fortunes are
saved to the people. But it does not
only save money; it prevents the grow
ing Of ill-feeling and enmity. Pro-
| longed law suits create and nourlsh
them; speedy settlement destroys these
feelings in the bud. Thus, morally, the
system of arbitration has beneficial in
fuence on seciety.-Om Home Journal
gg- Had the writer of the above ar
ticle beer Granger he would have
known that the board of arbitration
which he recommends, exists in every
Grange in the United States.
II is the duty of that board or COM
mittee to try to settle all differences of
the members of its own Grange and to
act in concert with similar committee
of another Grange TO adjust all disputes
that may arise between the members OF
their Oranges
1t is highly important for peace and
economy that this principle be strictly
adhered TO.

Ed. Register-It is a matter of VOL
der to some why ladies are admitted
into the Grange Its social feature
would be incomplete without woman,
its order and effectiveness is greatly
promoted by her presence, besides they
are directly interested in all that per-
tains to mans duties and prosperity as
q husbandman.
The economical reform contemplated
by the Grange are vastly in her line
fashion, the most costly tyrant Of the
age, has held supreme control over her
Judgment and taste. The Grange is to
help make her an independent thinker
and actor, to free her from the absolute
away which prevailing fashion has held
over her every act. She can be sus-
tanned by the sober, practical sense of
men, who it is her natural aim to please,
that if it is inconsistent with the clrcum-
stances or the necessities of the times
for her to be attired in costly apparel,
she can be just as respectable and lntiu-
entail in her sphere, draped in calico; in
very many localities such has been the
resolves and practice of the matrons !;
aud like our brother Methodists we
would say, now is the time, yes the &C
cepted time for our sisters Of the Grange
TO assert their independence, by resolv-
ing to dress in calico, until their hus-
bands get out of debt, sit can make no
sort of difference wherewithal we are
clothed, or in what style"

the phrase ''driven 10 death, ~ implying
all that it does of physical exhaustion and

not one that so powerfully counteracts the
effects of fatigue as HoStetteT's Stomach

which nothing can wholly compensate,

which a severe wetting might otherwise

The ladies of the Bolivar NJ. E.
Church are now holding a fair in the
Armory Hall, for the benefit of their
Pastor
On Thursday of last week they had a
Centennial Tea-party; quite number
were dressed according 20 the consue-
tude of one hundred years ago. Among
those represented was the Father OF
our Country and the honored and re-
vered of the people, Gen. Washington
and his stat, one British Gen. Burgoyne,
Mrs Washington and many others OF
that epocha. would as soon attempt
selenography, as minute description OF
the costumes, though were l permitted
| could whisper some encomlums, l
fortultously heard But fear my fair
friends would think the service savours
to much of espionage. However | was
on qui uiue for Diversion, and could
not keep from smiling, when one of the
disputants sprang lightly forward ex-
claiming, "Come no rexation, of what
importance who looks the hest" CI
for one shall retain my own opinion. }
"Here mount the rostrum in behalf OF
Mrs. Emma b., see how well she fills
the character of matron." She did 1t
with much grace ard amused people by
her sprightly repartee. There is rich
vein of quaint humur in he mind, and
her unebbing spirits entitle her to the
honors of prosopopaia perfect.
As / gazed around l was impressed
with this feeling. Who will represent
us, when the next century shall have
rolled around, for we have deeper inter
ests here even than the change of fash
ion, and the revolutions in the kingdom
of dress. l cannot but call your atten-
ton to the vast magnitude of conse-
quences that are to follow, and urge
you particularly to the training of the
young. Educate them so in after years
they will fill the places which we shall
vacate for them, with honor 10 them
selves and to us. For it is now in the
moulding period Of life, when the heart,
just charmed into the fevered hopes
and dreams of youth, and have no rival
engagements to withdraw it from the
opportunities of new desire. B.

he settled gently into his saddle. AS
he gathered up the reins in his left
hand and turned his horses head, the
whole brigade broke forth in one of
those wild, triumpbants shouts, by
which it afterwards become SO well
known to the enemy, and which the
General pronounced 1.-The sweetest mu-
sic he had ever heard" As if unable
to bare it calmly, he seized his old cap
from his head and striking his spurs
into his horse, galloped away and
while the shouts followed him and still
rung in his ears, he disappeared over
the hills and departed for his new field
of labor and of glory.
This is the only reported speech of
Stouewal Jackson. The rest of his
life was occupied in making history in
doing great deeds for others to write
about and speak about, for
"He was Virginia's greatest son,
He that won in all his fights,
Nor ever lost Southern gun"

The Wife of the late Hon. Frank
Thomas.

A writer from Richmond, Va, to
the Buiiimorsan, says: -
When | saw the account Of the sud-
den, terrible and unfortunate death of
the late Elk Governor Francis Thomas,
of Maryland, my mind instantly revert
ed TO the scandal that so soon grew out of
the unfortunate matrimonial alliance he
made with Miss Sallie Mcdowell, OF
Lexington, Va, now more than third
of century past. ! think it was about
1910 or lS4l, when Governor Thomas,
then a member Of the National House
of Representatives, met in Washington,
at the residence OF the Hon. Thos.
Hart Benton, Senator from Missouri,
the young lady whom lie wooed and af-
forwards married She was a niece of
Mrs. Benton, daughter of Governor
James Mcdowell, cher father subss-
quently becoming a member of Con-
gress,) a consistent member of the
Presbyterian Church, and one of the
most lovely and accomplished young
ladies of Lexington, Va. She was
youthful and beautiful, just entering
her twentieth year, and the Governor
was all of forty. He was, however, re-
markably we'll preserved-tall, stately,
and commanding, and in the very zeuith
OF his fame as an orator and pollti-
cian As is already known, the alliance
proved most unhappy one, but have
yet to meet with the first individual
who attributed anything whatever of an
improper character to the young wife.
The husband was all afame with
jealousy; like consuming fire it alb
sorbed or destroyed all the better feel
ings of his nature, and the young wife
was even soundly beratsd for organiza-
ton IN own cousin, a young gentleman
of spotless reputation snd absolutely
above suspicion. But, it is we'll known,
that the Governor has since acknowl-
edged his error, and to the latest day
OF his lite did not cease to lament that
he had listened to the whisperings of
the numerous lagos who had poured
their infiaming and poisonous falsehoods
into his willing ears. Under such
state of affairs Mrs. Thomas life become
unbearable, and she speedily sought
refuge from her troubles in the bosom
of her fathers family A petition for
divorce was made to the Virginia Leg
islature, which then contained over two
hundred members, and numbered
among them, several Of the most able
and talented men in the State. Cover
nor Thomas resisted the application
with all his earnestness and all his elo-
quence, but the bill granting divorce
was passed unanimously. and the lady's
maiden name Sallie Mcdowell restored.
She subsequently, married the Rev. Dr.
Miller, prominent minister of the
Presbyterian Church in Lexington, Va,
and if am not mistaken, is still living,
happy wife and devoted mother.

Funeral OF Ex-GovERNoR THOMAS.
On Tuesday afternoon of last week,
the remains Of the late Ex-Governor.
Francis Thomas, were removed from
Emanuel Episcopal Church, Cumber-
land, and placed in special car, fur
nished by Master Of Transportation,
Thomas Il. Sharp, B. & o. r. r., and
taken to Petersville, in this county.
The only person who accompanied the
remains from Cumberland, were Col.
James NJ. Schley, Mr.. G. F. Dunlap,
young Frank Thomas, adopted son.
and several others. The Cumberland
Daily Nsws, of the 9th ultimo, says:
cat Knoxville the remains were met
by Mrs. Blackburn, sister of the deceas,
ed, and her son and daughter, Mr.
John Sifford, of Frederick, and Mr.. X.
II. Butler, of this place, who met at
Petersvile on the previous day to ar
range for the final obsequies. A very
large crowd of people, friends and adj
mircrs of the lamented dead, were also
present. Shortly after the arrival Of
the train, the casket was placed in a
hearse and funeral procession, consist
ing Of twelve or fifteen carriages,
number Of persons on horseback, and
few on foot, was formed and the cortegc
proceeded directly to St Marks church,
one mile south of Petersville, aud four
miles from Knoxville The church is
a neat brick edifice, standing in the
middle of beautiful little church yard,
the whole nearly mile from any
house. The building, which holds
three or four hundred persons, was
nearly filed before the arrival Of the
funeral cortege, and afterwards was
crowded. The casket was taken into
the church and the upper portion OF the
body exposed to view. The face of
the dead had not changed in the least
particular, and the expression of the
features was a. calm and placid as
when regretfully gazed upon on Mon
day. When all had passed before the
coffiu it was removed 10 the Thomas
family lot, in the little churchyard, and
the burial service of the Episcopal
Church taken up by the Rector of st.
Marks Rev. Joseph Trapuell, where it
had been ended a, Emanuel church, on
Monday, and the body of the great
dead committed to the silent earth.
Surrounded by the bones of his ances-
tors and family and tie monuments to
their memory sleeps the tired statesman,
securing at last that complete rest and
seelusion for which during the decliu-
ing years of his life he SO often wished
Peace be with him J. Gov. Thomas,
we understand, died without will

and the carelessress with which he used
TO take Babcocks flute to rake the fire
with was constant menace TO their

Horace Greeley's advices TO $50
