action of the big commission in rul-

reminds us of a story:
A negro debating society had un-

which was the mother of the chicken
the hen that laid the egg, or the
hen that Matched the chicken. The
President of the society leaned to
the material claims of the Matching
hen. Ayoung negro jumped up and
put the proposition thusly: "'Spo=e
you set duck eg: under a hen, an
it hatch duck? Which am de
mudder oh dat duck, de hen or lie

dent scratched his head, and seeing
no other way out of the difficulty,
said: Ducks an not before de

said to the attorneys Of that si,!e:

Piieai,ls Ia all ATTITUDES and should
be carefully considered and the rec
concentrations adopted by every
farmer in the land, whether he be
the owner of ten or ten thousand
acres:
There seems to US to be two thing
that the Grange must accomplish in
order TO bring about that better con-
dition Of the farming classes which
Il proclaims as its object; and hsv-
ing once accomplished these all the
rest will follow spontaneously. The
first IN to get every farmer into the
way Of paying for every article that
he buys just when he buys it-not q
little nor great while after. The
other 10 10 lead farmers into the
custom Of holding on to the farms
they now own, neither extending
them nor exchanging them for larger
ones, until they have developed them
10 the highest possible degree Of
productiveness. Neither of these
arc easily accomplished. The full
and complete accomplishment Of
them will not come in two, five, or
even ten years, and perhaps it will
nov come. But their partial &C.
complement will DO so much of q
gain that where we now have few
highly prosperous farmers we will
then have many. and that we will
then have highly improved farms
where we now have few. The lead
ing maxims Of the Grange should
therefore DO, Pay as you 60 and I'm

Rev. DR.. Guthrie: I bless God for
cities. Cities have been as lamps of
life along the pathway of humanity
and religion. Within, science has
given birth to her noblest discoveries.
Behind their walls freedom has fought
her noblest battles. They have stood
on the surface of the earth like great
breakwaters, rolling back or turning
aside the swelling tides of oppression.
Cities, indeed, have been the cradles
Of human liberty. They have been
the active centres of almost all Church
and State reformation.

ing ignorant and more or less un-
thoughtful, give themselves little or
no concern about the matter; and,
indeed, it may be correctly affirmed
OF some of this class that they would
prefer separation if they thought that
their excited and peculiar manner of
worship would otherwise be inter-

There are seven different kinds, and no one
Is recommended as "cure-allh Each has
its place and in that case will work wonders.
For instance, the Blood and Liver Remedy
and Nerve Tonic will cure all blood diseases
and restore and build up the nerves; the
Capitol Bltters will at once bring on the ap.

tarrh Remedy readily heals catarrh; the Inn
proved Cough Honey breaks up colds and
cures coughs; the Golden Relief cures any
pain or Inflammation, and the st. Nitus
Dance specific readily cures st. Nitus Dance.
SO each has its place. They are all special
remedies exceptthe Blood and Liver Remedy
and Nerve Tonic, which is a remedy for reg
ulating the general system. They all act
better and quicker when The systcm Is under
the healing and regulating influence of the
Blood and Liver Remedy and Nerve Tonic.
For instance, Catarrh is readily cured by the
Catarrh Remedy, when the system is at the
same time placed In healing condition by
the Blood and Liver Remedy and Nerve
Tonic.

The Louisiana Prosecution.

The action against the members of the
Returning Board in Louisiana is called
by some papers betrayal of the Pres
ident" and violation of an understand
ing. But as the President MADE no bar
gain, he cannot in that sense be be-
trayed. Undoubtedly Gov. Nichols in
Louisiana and Gov. Hampton in South
Carolina openly declared themselves in
favor of promoting the welfare of their
States by peace and order and respect
for the rights of all. There is no doubt
that they meant what they said, and that
they intend to use to that end all the m
iuence they can command. But thty
can express only their own purposes and
those of their immediate friends. NeithCr
of them can dictate or control or pledge
the entire action of their party. And /
is no secret that the Democratic party in
the Southern States is composed of twp
elements-the reasonable and the irret.
Oncilable. During the campaign of Last
year the Republicans did not recognize
such division. They assumed that
Democratic opinion in those States was
wholly irrecOncilable, just as the general
Southern Judgment of the Republican
phIbl was kndl ~ was nuOii1
The result was that the Republican ar
gument in the campaign sincerely as
sumed and declared that "tht South"
was altogether untrustwOrthy. But the
events of the last session REVEALED the
mutual mistake. The better SJuthern
Democrats and the Northern Republic.
ans united upon the Electoral bin, and
have honorably maintained the settle
ment. The SOutherners have seen in
the Republican support of the Admins
tration that an immense body Of Repub.
licans are, in the truest sense friendly
to the Southern States; and the North
erners have seen that among the South
ern Democrats there are tTuli patriotic
Americans. This is one of thl happiest
events of the year.
But it is not the result of any bargain.
Undoubtedly there were Southern mem
bers of Congress who asked the personal
friends of Mr.. Hayes whether, should he
become President, his course would be
in harmony with bis declarations as
candidate; and doubtless, knowing him
well, those friends said, as the event has
proved, that there could be 40 question
Of 1t, But the important fact to remem-
ber is that had MIR, Hayes been elected
by an incontestable and overwhelming
electoral majority his course in the
Southern States would have been pre-,
cisely what it is. Gov Chamberlain
elaborately argued at Woodstock the
question Of the Presidents constitutional
duty under the circumstances, and il the
Presidents own view had been that of
the ex, Governor his course would have
been such as Mr.. Chamberlain would
have pursued. But his view of his duty
was very different, and he acted accord.

Early History of Moving Machine.

In the historical essay prepared by
Robert Yerkes, and read at the dedication
of town hall at Novi, Oakland County,
Mich, recently, is given, among other
"reminiscences of the early days of the
township, the following bit of history in
regard to moving machine patented
and tested in that township as early as
1927:
The first moving machine in town
gerSOll. b0rrs&-1Sspd -hu--- ErastIls- In
hollow button-wood log, about thirty
inches long, placed in vertical position
on wheels, or rather rollers; the motive
power was in the inside of the hollow
section, and consisted of several cog
wheels, one or two bands, and some
other fixtures that are now forgotten;
the cutting knives were short pieces of
scythes fastened close to the lower edge
of the hollow log. The team was
hitched to tongue made Of long
crooked limb in order to place them on
the mown grass, and the machine be-
hind that, standing. When the team
started the motion of the rollers forced
the gearing into action; this gave ro-
tary motion to the hollow section; the
knives went around with a buzz, cutting
everything before them. Mr.. Ingersoll
carried model of this to Washington in
1897 and got patent on it. He came
home, and called his neighbors together for
a trial of the new machine. The mower
was placed on the IngersOll swamp
and started. 1t cut first-rate for three
or four rods, when the keen cage OF the
knives disappeared, and, not having any
shoulder or guards to work against, they
refused to do duty. The genius of the
deacon was equal to the emergency, in
prospective at least. He proposed to
attach grindstone in a way that would
make the knives sharpen themselves as
they revolved, a platform for grain was
to be added, threshing maching follow
ing would deliver the grain ready cleaned
into bags, which one man would tie
up and tumble off, and the work was
done.
He had recommend already made out
which his neighbors signed, after cutting
down a good deal. He then went East
among his old friends in the State of
New York, and came back loaded with
the spoils of victory.
There is an Gddendum to this piece of
history, which it will not do to pass over.

enviOus vandal cut down one-half of the
orchard. In the morning the deacon, see
ing the catastrophe, became exceedingly
alarmed lest all his buildings should be
destroyed. The story soon got round
that Ingersoll's moving machine had got
loose in the night, cut down his peach
orchard, set fire to a stump in one cor
