Useful Information.

Officers of the grange could not do
better service for the cause than by
showing to farmers what has been &C
complished through organization by
other classes. The history of the diff
ferent organizations of merchants, TOR
instance. would be cry instructive,
and the high value placed upon these
organizations by that class of sllrewd.
thinking people, the liberality with
which they are sustained, If properly
presented to farmers would awaken an
interest in the subject that would
cause them to give the grange a warm
support. There are comparatively few
farmers who know anything OF class
organizations and their practical work
ing how the prices OF ali farm pro-
ducts are fixed by them, and how the
entire business world is governed by a
set of rules and regulations that enable
the handlers of these products to reap
all the profits. Farmers ask what has
the grange done? Is there any money
in it: The best answer to such 9ues-
tons would be to show them, by facts
and figures. what the merchants or
carnations have done and are doing.
If the farmers were fully informed of
these things, and that the merchant
| expends annually hundreds of dollars
to keep up his organization, while the
farmer pays but one dollar. they would
not stop to ask such questions. but be
come active members of the grange at
once. With this knowledge, the five
dollars initiation would appear TOO in
significant for a moments cOnSidera.

1t is intelligent. educated. thinking
men and women that the age demands
and the grange is our school. None
are too old to learn-none so wise but
they may gain in wisdom. There is no
society that has ever done for woman
what the grange has. in raising her up
side by side with man, where she can
be a true helpmate and co-worker.
She should recognize this by showing
a Willingness to work with him and
educate the young. SO that good NOR
ais, common sense and labor, with
fOrethOught, may Outrun whiskey,
parties and money.

Attend the grange and farmers
club. The different subjects talked
over Will strengthen and add To your
ideas. and many suggestions can be
made on the work hat is in progress.
1t will pay YOU a heavy interest bv Civ
ing a little time and attention To your
grange or club. Keep up the interest
and it will not be time wasted. The
little time that YOU spare from the
farm Will be more than balanced by
the arnount of information gained.

ference OF the Methodist Episcopal Church.
at their meeting at Lynn to-day, adopted
unanimously the following ...r
First.1That the warm and practical SYM
pathy of this Conference for the oppressed
Of our land is history Of too long stand
ing and too outspoken to need any reafirma-
ton by us 1T the present time; and now
that lesalized slavery has been forever abol-
ished in this our country, we feel equally
DESTROYS that they who, having been vic
tins OF that oppression, were deprived or
their civil rights and means for intellectual
and moral culture may have secured to them
all the rights and privileges that their
changed relations to the country and their
consequently increased responsibility so I'M
peratively demand for them. .f
Second. That we are glad to recognize in
the inaugural address OF our present CHIEF
| Magistrate, and in other words and acts OF
I bis, a clearty-defned purpose on his part SC
to administer the Government OF these
United States as to secure to all classes Of
our citizens the full and free exercise of all
their rights and privileges, and we pledge
to him in the execution Of this purpose oul
hearty sympathy and support; and we viii
earnestly pray that God may give to hin
| and his advisers thewlsdom to guide them
in their important and difficult work; ant
we. sincerely hope that: our too-lons dis
turbed country may again: enjoy an era o.
good feeling, peace, and prosperity.
The adoption OF the substitute-report wa!
received with applause. 49, .....,

AGITATION IN NEW YORK..
RoNDoUr, n. Y, April EN- the New
York Methodist Episcopal Conference to-
day Rev. Isaac J. Lansing, agent for the
Freedmen's Aid Society, made an ImpaS-
stoned address, reciting the wrongs OF the
colored race in the South, and declaring
that the white people aTe opposed to their
education. Christian ministers in the South
refused to fraternize with him because he
worked to educate the blacks. lie said fra
tcrnity North and South had different mean
inSs. Roman Catholics are expanding thou
sands of dollars among the blacks at the
South. They drew no color-line. Mctho-
dists South drew color-line. The Catho-
lies meant to control the votes Of the south
ern blacks, and the Methodist Church
North is the only power that can battle
them. Mcthodists must go at this work in
earnest il success is desired, and not drive
the subject out OF the pulpit as they now do.

not regard the withdrawal Of the troops as
affecting his legal rights, whatever effect it
might have on his practical ability to main
tain them. He said it would probably be
his duty to hold bis office until removed
from it by force.
In answer to an inquiry az to his course

termine; that he could only say that he IN
tended to pursue 4 course consistent with
