GRANGE ITEMS.

The next session Of the National Grange
will be held in Cincinnati, commencing Wed.
nesday, November 81.
Some Of the Patrons IN Philadelphia couu.
ty, Pa, have organized what they call a
"Mlanurc Club" IL controls the manure Of
several street railroad stablcs, Last year
nine hundred horses contributed TO the man
ure pile at tho price paid, sl2 per horse,
the total amount paid for manure was Sl0,-
500.
The order Of Patrons Of Husbandry in
culcates charity, sobriety, energy, industry
economy and honesty. Hense any farmer
becoming Patron can not be injured in per-
son or estate, but may be by cooperation
with his fellows, greatly benefit himself and
extend his benefoient influence to those
around him. s Iy.t
The Executive Committee Of the National
Grange has hitherto consisted Of seven MEM
bers, with the Master. The amendment to
the constitution, reducing it to three, has
been ratified and is now law. The wisdom
Of the reduction is yet to be made apparent
The Indiana Legislature has given the
Grangers a law under which they can form
voluntary associations for the purpose Of iu-
surfing against fire, etc.
Connecticut, with its thirteen Oranges
aud 328 members, has had as much influence,
casting two votes, at the sessions Of the Ma
tional Grange, as Ohio with its l,2l4 pay
ing Oranges and 5I,977 members. This is
one of the anomalies Of the existing system
Of representation that can not be avoided
whiIc the constitution remains unamended,
but it is cmuently unjust that the Patr ons
Of Ohio, to secure their votes in the Ma
tional Grange, should have to pay dees to
the amount Of $4,000 year, while those Of
Connecticut get of scot free. If the official
reports of the National Grange arc correct
as they probably are-the treasury has not
received single cent of dues from Connect.
cut in 1875 or 1876. Then why has Con-
necticut been allowed to consume the funds
Of the National Grange and vote them away :

CRoP PRosPEcTs. The Western papers
which make speciality of collecting iniorma-
ton respecting the condition of crops at GER
tain season. Of the year. have just published
reports from 459 countries in the States Of
Illineis, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee aud
Maryland. The section covered embraces
the winter wheat growing region Of the couu'
try. or the 459 counties from which re-
ports have been received, in l26 the pros
poets are reported as excellent, 304 as aver
age, and only 20 as poor. The reports Of
the same counties respecting the prospect Of
the apple and peach crops indicate an aver
age for the former and at least a partial fail
ure of the latter on account of the severity
of the winter.

JOURNALISM AMONG THE JAPs.-There
are now some hundreds of newspapers 10
Japan--weeklies and daiies. IL must be
very interesting to hear the Japanese news
boy Of the period crying through the streets
the names of those journals as quoted in the
Yokohama Gazette "Here's yer Nichi-Nichi
Shinbun all the news in the Osaka hippo
The Choya Sai.Kai Shiubun, sir ?'' The po-
stion Of Court reporter can be no sinecure,
for we find in the law reports notices Of such
sensational cases as "Van bort VS. Tussajiro !;
in the Judicial Court of Kanagawa, before
Mr.. Asna Kansui, President" aud "Kondo
Hayoyemon and Hakii Lerjero VS. j. Carter"

20 piculs, what under the sun those may be-
Then there is the case of Yokusawa Gensuke
VS. Maruya Yenhochi, full report Of which
we shall arrange for should our readers de-
sire TO be informed upon it. The papers
there have an off.hand way Of referring to
"the wel-known case of the capture Of the
vessel KoyomEuru by the Rujs- Hawai- off
the coast OF Hinaku-Higo," aud also refer
with regret to the delay in the departure of
the Nagoya-maru. They refer, in local jots
to the gallantry of Generals Shinohara and
Kashoshima, but seem to have poor opinion
in which we coincide. The arrest Of Gou.
Dairokr for some political affairs, is triumh-
antly noted, but whether he was taken by
lasso or trap ir not stated. The traveller is
also. warned that the road to Utsin, on the
Nakasendo, is not open, and the climax is
capped by giving n statement of the COM
position Of some Japanese mineral springs,
the most noted of which appears to be Yu-
nishi-gawa-mura, Gosho-yu, at Nikks, the
proof OF patients cure at it being probably

New York, after an era of unexampled
prosperity, is beginning to discover how it
lOels to have growth checked by the cessation
of building. Thus far in April, usually the
busiest building month of the year, but forty
one building permits have been issued, and
number of these were for additions or altera-
tions to houses already constructed. The
commercial metropolis of the country has
done little or nothing to deserve prosperity
for several years.

A Serious

Yesterday afternoon Angus D. Nc
Quaig, while riding on horseback from
the HayRanch in Spring valley to town,
met with a serious misbap. When
near the DEVILS Gate Station his horse
stepping on a piece Of Ice slipped and
fell, Mr.. McQuaig falling under the
animal and breaking his left arm in
two places. He vas brought into
town by Andy Loucks and taken to
DR.. A. q. Bishops office, who, with
the assistance of DR.. Cram, set the
broken arm. An examination showed
the breaking of the bones to be a COM
pound fracture and will prove a very
painful wound, being the worst case of
the kind that has been mel with by the
attending physicians. Mr.. McQuaig is
engaged in the wood business and is a
partner of Constable Mckay. 1t will
be a long time before he recoyers the
full use Of his arm again.

look TO the StOye.DtDes.

Standing on Buel street last night
we noticed that from a half.dozen
stove-pipes sparks were being emitted
in no small quantity, falling on II 9
roofs of the houses and wood piles in
the street. Those who we're enjoying
the genial warmth Of a rousing fire
had little thought of the danger they
were in and the peril of a number of
adjoining bouses that but n spark
might cause to be reduced Il ashes.
The greatest %precaution should be
taken against the possibility of fire and
proper attention should be paid to the
condition Of every stove-pipe in town.
Some extend above the roof but a foot
or two and nightly threaten the
safety OF the town. A fire now
would prove doubly disastrous,
with an inclement season just com
mencing and so many out of work.
Look to your stove-pipes and see that
they are made ecure and of sufficient
height above the roof of your house.

ORE

In q country where labor Is high,
fuel dear, and water scarce, it Is not
astonishing that only high grade ores
nj be worked with a profit. We may
congratulate ourselves that nature has
concentrated her wealth in a shape that,
with all tho drawbacks incident to the
mining industries, IL ores IAN be
worked at a handsome profit and pay
living rates to all those concerned in
the production Of bullion. Never
since the discovery of tho district has
there been more flattering prospects
or q greater mass of ore In sight, prac-
tically inexhaustible in quantity and
increasing in value; but AS every ton
OF ore that does not carry u certain per-
centage Of the precious metals is prac-
tically waste rock, and as there are
millions Of tons Of low grade ore in all
the mines assaying from five to eight
per cent. in lead, aud from five to
twenty dollars in gold and silver, but
which at the present rate Of labor and
cost OF supplies can not be probably
smelted, we submit that there is no
better field for inventive talent, nor one
more certain of q rich reward. than
tAnt OlOI 0O ~ VIC ulSCOSCtCE Vi d
cheap and reliable concentrating proc
ess. In Europe, ore of a grade aver
aging IS low as two per cent. lead and
five dollars q ton silver, is successfully
treated and yields q rich return. This
process Is carried on by means OF
elaborate machinery, plenty Of water
the latter the. principal agency-and
the application Of cheap labor. These
conditions do not obtain here, and
never will. The time may possibly
come when labor will CON-
mand less rates, but as that
depends on the ~cheapening of sup.
plies and general cost Of living,
and our isolation will always act
as an important factor to keep up the
present standard, we x%pprehend that
there will DO no diminution in wages.
Again, our arid deserts and barren
mountains do not afford the water
supply needed In the German process,
and never will be attainable until the
face of nature Is revOlutionized and
the seasons changed. 1t has been sug-
gested that the mines themselves will
furnish water in sufficient quanti-
ty, and 1t may be possible that this
source may be utilized, but as the sup
ply Is uncertain it could hardly be de-
pended upon. The inventor has these
two obstacles staring him the face; but
he has this in his favor, that what are
high-grade ores in Germany are low
grade here, and it is only a problem of
concentrating five o II in one, and
doing 1t cheaply. The field is vast and
the reward certain. The wealth locked
up in low-grade ores in Eastern Nevada
il beyond computation. There are
hundreds OF mines laying idle. await
ing the coming Of such a process, and
we are not too sangnine in predicting
that tho problem will eventually be
solved. We have made great progress
In sil yer mining and overcome obsta-
clss that seemed insurmountable, and
w have faith that science will invent
some method OF utilizing so vast a
field of wealth.
