ADDRESS
70 the Patrons Of Husbandry Of the
State Of Tennessee.
BY THE MASTER OF THE STATE
GRANGE.

GRANGE.
BRETHREN We enter upon the
discharge of our new duties with a
Just sense of the responsibilities of
the position, and an honest purpose
to do our duty as becomes a good
Patron. We earnestly invoke your
hearty CO operation, that our noble
cause may prosper. 1t is a source
of graduation that the spirit mani
tested by your representatives in
the late meeting of the State Grange,
augured well for the future success
of our Order, Notwithstanding there
is a reduction in membership and
in the number Of working Oranges.
But those errors and false views of
the nature and methods of the
Order, which have greatly retarded
it's growth in some sections of our
State, have been, we trust, dissi-
pated; and we may now rejoice in
the bright prospect that opens be-
fore u.s. Our Order is yet in its in
fancy, and though highly practical
and comprehensive in its aims, was
necessarily experimental in its oper-
ations in the beginning; and your
representative in their late meeting
labored assiduously to remedy all
defects, and to so perfect the ma
chinery of its organization as to ia
cilltate greatly the future progress
and development of the Order in
our midst.
The removal of all obstacles to
the rehabilitation of the dormant
Oranges, and such other provisions

A 1ady's Strange Pets.

Most ladies choose a dog, a cat, a
canary or pony for pet, and often
"set their poor lives upon them,
but rarely does one hear of lady
attaching herself to such strange
pets as the writer saw at Mrs. Lin
coins, 81 Howard street, day or
two ago. Living in the family are
a couple of lions, twenty one months
old, brought up by the hand of Mrs.
Lincoln. They are African lions, a
species not easily reared in this
country, but Mrs. Lincoln has sue
ceeded by the exercise of great
care, in rearing them to III, $3.50
eht aye --au size. The male weighs
about $50 pounds, and the female
perhaps fifty pounds less. They
have been at the house on Howard
street since last September, and un
til within a month have had the
run of the place." going about the
rooms with considerable freedom.
As a measure of caution the police
thought the creatures should be re-
strained, and their quarters are now
more limited than. formerly, al
though they have safe out door
run and a room adjoining the kitch-
en-, with only a strong wire door
separating the apartments. Mrs.
Lincoln is as free with her pets as
ladies are with their poodles. She
plays with them; feeds them from
her hands, and has taught them
various tricks. They kiss her
at her bidding, jump through a
hoop, etc. Before the police re-
strictions were placed upon them, the
animals were accustomed to walk in
to the kitchen or porlor among the
guests, and go back to their quar-
tiers without offering harm to any
one. A year ago the lioness used
TO occupy the same couch with the
lady at night, but now she has
grown full large TO be taken upon a
common bedstead. The animals
are quite a curiosity, and, in their
gentleness, show plainly how potent
is the law of kindness, even with
the brute creation.- Boston Her.

A Husbands Right to His Wife.

Savannah (Ga. News: An inter-
esting decision relating to the right
of husband to the custody of his
wife was recently determined by
Judge Rice at q late term of the
Gwinnett County Court. The wife
was a minor, being only sixteen
years of age, and or this ground her
father detained her at home. The
husband sued out writ of habeas
corpus, and on the return day of the
same the Judge held: 'That, not
withstanding the license was ir
regularly issued and the father had
not given his consent, she being six
teen years of age, the marriage was
valid and binding, and the parties
occupied the relationship of hus-
band and wife; but that under the
law which gives the parent the Gus
tody and right to the services of his
child until majority, unless he vol
UNFAIRLY loses it, that defendant had
the right to her service until she was
twenty-one, and therefore was en-
titled TO her custody. An order was
therefore passed dismissing the writ
and remanding the wife TO the pos
session of her father"

A story is told of a deacon in
TenRnessee, who was in the habit
of riding bucking mule-that is,
a mule that can make a camePs
back of its straight one, and, by a
spasmodic movement of its four
legs and hump, discharge its rider
like cannon ball. The other day
they came to the edge Of the worst
mud hole in the State, and the mule
gave uamistakable indications OF
bucking. The good deacon knew
that he was about to be thrown, and
his mind skurried about for pray
er. His table grace came easiest
Lord, for what we are about to re
ceive make us humbly thankful.
he exclaimed, and the mule ha(
bucked and he was in.

People suffer great deal of pain I'M
necessarily. Among fortunes that need
not be endured are those inflicted by the
rheumatism and govt, since the acrid ell

by contact with the sensitive covering

Boys Think About it-Tathers Talk
to Your Boys.

Boys, did you ever think that this
great world, with all its wealth and
woe, and all its mines and noun
tains, its oceans, seas and rivers,
steamboats, and ships, railroads,
steam printing presses and magnetic
telegraphs, will soon be given over
to the hands of the boys of the
present age? Believe me, and look
abroad upon your own inheritance,
and get ready to enter upon your
duties.
Yes, boys, as your fathers drop
one by one into the grave, some boy
that was, but now a man, must take
his place. There is no vacuum in
business; there is no stoppage in
the affairs of life; we are not missed
by the great business world. The
King, the Emperor, the Resident
the Pope, may die, but there is no
vacancy; the chair is filed instant
er, and he who fills it was once q
boy.
But boys, you can never be truly
great, important, intelligent and in
faential men unless you lay the
foundation in your boyhood days al
school or in the business you are
learning. Attention, close atten-
ton, develops the true man.
Boys, bad habits in youth will
follow you in manhood, and will
only grow stronger with your
growth and maturity. Avoid, then
all bad habits, and especially those
of drinking, gambling and icenti-
business. They not only unfit you
for the great and responsible duties
of life, bnt unh9 you for good and
respectable citizens.
Cultivate a thirst for knowledge
good books and intelligent society
Do not cultivate a love for the BIZ.

pense of your mind. A little rccre-

our duty to appoint Deputies fol-
every county in the State, and il
will be our aim to appoint earnest
working men who will always be
ready to give aid and counsel to all
Subordinate Oranges in need of it.
With proper response on the part
of Patrons, we may thus hope to see
the Inauguration of new era in the
history of Grange progress in our
State. We trust the brethren in
every county will see that the names
of suitable persons are furnished us
for the office; and again we invoke
your jealous co operation with
these officers and all others who are
laboring in behalf of the organiza-
ton.
We shall endeavor to have the
proceedings of the State Grange
brought within the reach of every
Grange in the State, living and
dormant, and, we may add in this
connection, that your Executive
Committee, composed of active, ex
perienced men, have under consid
Grafton a plan for furnishing more
abundant and cheaper reading mat
ter for the Patrons of the State, an
object which we heartily approve,
and the consummation of which
viii be an important step in the pro
motion of that growth in practical
knowledge contemplated in the
Grange plan for the education of
those engaged in the active duties
of life.
In concluding our Introductory
address to you, Patrons, let me urge
upon you thorough organization,
for without it your progress will be
slow; and prompt attendance at
your meetings, otherwise your in
terest will flag. Both are necessary

Now and Then.

1t is only now and then that such men
as Hon. Alex. II. Stephens, Ex-GOv.
Smith and Ex-Gov. Brown of Georgia,
endorse a medicine for the throat and
lungs, and when they do it is pretty
good evidence that the remedy must be
good for the cure of coughs, colds and
lung affections. They recommend the
Globe Flower Cough Syrup, and their
testimonials are to be seen around the
ten cent sample bottles of the Globe
Flower Syrup, for sale by all druggists
in Pulaski. A sample bottle relieves
the worst cough, and will cure sore
throat. Regular size bottles. so doses
