The commercial and political press of
the country, with few exceptions, are OPP
nosed to our Order, and we must employ
and sustain our own press to espouse our
cause and defend our rights. Without
some medium through which we can reach
the members of our Order we can make
but little progress in correcting existing
abuses, or in introducing and urging
measures of reform demanded by the great
interests our Order represents.
Only within the last few years have we
established papers, edited and devoted
exclusively in the interest OF the farmers.
They are all worthy of your patronage
and support. Will you support thenl' or
will you suffer them to suspend their pub
LEGATION for want of sufficient encourage
ment? Shall it be said that the very LASS
of men they are striving to elevate lack
the moral courage and generosity to con
tribute the pitiful sum necessary Tor their
support? Every farmer in. our State should
take this paper Policy and due regard
for his own interests demand it. How else
can he learn the fluctuations in the
markets and the value of his produce?
How frequently is he deprived Of all the
advantages in the rise of the markets, and
suffers the spectators to reap the benefits
which Justly and rightfully belong to him.
How few farmers have pro6ted by their
dear bought experience, to inform them
selves of the changes which so frequently
occur in the value of their products!
There is not single issue of the Far
mers Friend and other Grange papers
that has not the price of every article used
in your households and on your farms.
This information will hundred fold more
than repay you the price of your subscrip
ton. Very few of our members attend
the meetings of our State Grange, and
know but little of its doings, objects and
| principles. Very few ever see a copy OF
our proceedings. The enthusiasm which
characterizes the meetings of our State
Grange and gives animus to its proceed
| ings never reach the mass of our members,
consequently those members lose all in
terest in the Order, and become lukewarm
and Indifferent. An organ which can and
! should reach every member of the Order
will remedy this great and increasing de-
feet, where at his home and in the society
of his family he can read, reflect and
study the principles of the Order, and
learn what is being accomplished for
| his advancement.
Ignorance in all matters pertaining to
our Order is the great obstacle to its sue
cess and leads members to believe they
are supporting an institution from which
they derive no benefits.
A press will stimulate and guide the
agricultural class; cause them to think and
reflect on public affairs; awaken them re-
speeding their own interest, and propa-
gate our ideas to the world

We gather from the NJ ost recent reports
as. TO the cotton crop that there will not be
any falling off in Texas in consequence of
the increased acreage, and that in South
Carolina and Louisiana there will be an
average yield. In Virginia and North
Carolina there is a decrease, as compared
with last year, that will average IA per
cent. In Southern and Southwest Geor.
gia the decrease will reach 25 per cent
The same report might be made of9most OF
Middle Georgia. In thenorthern portion
of the State, the cropis as good as that OF
the previous season. In Alabama. the de-
crease is estimated at from IL to X pc,

A Remarkable Memory.

a story of wonderful memory comes
from Sydney, Australia. A prisoner set
up in his defense an alibi, claiming that
at the time of the robbery he was at
home listening to the recital of novel,
s. The Old Baron,'' by a man named
Lane, who had committed it, with other
works, to memory. Lanes recitation,
he said, took two hours and half. The
Attorney General holding this to be in
credible, Lane began:
In the time of King Henry, when
the good Duke Humphrey returned from
the wars in the Holy Land, where he
had been sojourning for number .of
years, there lived''-After the witness
had recited several pages the Attorney
General told him to stop, as he was
satisfied. But the defense insisted that
as the veracity of the witness had been
questioned, he should be allowed to go
on. Finally compromise was effected,
Lane gave chapter from the middle of
the story and its conclusion, and the ac,
cused was found not guilty.

Sensible Advice.

A Philadelphia clergyman, Rev. Mr..
Macleod, contends that there Is neither
health, sense nor religion in full mourn
ing. He tells his congregation that a bit
of black ribbon, worn in some way, will
tell the story of bereavement just as
well as complete mourning suit. A bit
of Grape on the bell-pull gives the hint
to those who pass by, and 1t is not con-
sidered necessary to cover the whole
front with black drapery. Why, then
will not bit of ribbon on cloak or coat
answer the purpose, and "a weight of
usual expense and costume that is al
ways gloomy and, in warm weather,
very uncomfortable, be taken from the
shoulders of bereaved mourners Chris
tians, he is convinced ought not to take
gloomy view of death. There are
glorious hopes linked with the sorrows,
.and the hopes of those who are gone be-
fore should be symbolized rather than
the sorrows of those who are left be-
hind. He would have cheerful garments
worn by mourners in token Of the tri-
umph of the glorified ones, and bit of
ribbon or Grape as simple memorial of
their own sense of bereavement. The
rest of the full mourning he would send
to the heather, who in their SORROW at
the grave have no hope.

TRAPPING THE BURGLARS.
A Detectives Story.

XXTE WERE on the railroad train,
w johnson and I,rushing west at the
rate of thirty miles an hour. johnson
was detective, and he and had known
each other from boyhood. We talked
over our school days as we sat on the
seat together; we discussed the crops I;
we urged the moral, social, intellectual
and political questions of the day we
speculated on the weather we brought
forth every subject we could think of
until, at last, there came lull in the
conversation. Then said, as sudden
thought struck me:
johnson, don't you ever have any
exciting adventures in your line of busi-
ness Tell us story of your expert
ence, will you 7"
My friend laughed, and, fixing his
keen gray eyes upon my face, answered,
musingly:
Exciting adventures 2 Hum-yes-
L suppose they would be called so. There
are good many occurrences that 1
might relate, but don't generally care
to speak of them however, as it is you,
Reade, will tell of curious capture

our city to Chicago, and back, and did
not catch him after all. almost had the
clutches of the law upon him several
times, but think he must have got
wind that he was pursued, for he did n
number of sharp things, and assumed a
number of strange DISCUSSES which baf-
fled my every attempt Still L deter

character, for he was person of educa-

never suspect of being guilty of the
crime which disgraced his career.

he was, and about nine o'clock one

" To make a long story short, after
much persuasion, and many threats, and
after copious appeals to his selfishness
and suspiclousness, he confessed all. He
gave me information that led, two.nights
afterward, TO the arrest OF ten as desper-
ate villains, as there is In Massachu-
setts.
We had hard tussle, and had to
shoot one fellow before we captured
them but we took them three or four
at u time, In different parts of the city,
so that made the matter easier. But
Haldeman, the man 1 had wanted so
long, the gentlemanly leader, was once
more lucky enough to make his escape.
The bank folks raised thousand dollars
for me, In consideration of my services,
and made my friend present of a gold
watch for his valuable assistance. The

Have you not given up hope of eyer

finished his story.
"No, sir, guess not,' replied he
"To tell you the truth, Reade," said he,
lowering bis voice, Z" L expect TO take
him this very night. j expect him to
get aboard this train at some country
station. That's why told you might
end my story suddenly. That's why I'm

ductor is looking for the other cars and

We rode on for long time in silence,
1 pondering over the strange story of
my friend, which was to prove such q
wonderful sequel, he with hat pulled
over his eyes, apparently asleep. The
train stopped at several way stations and
number of persons got in and out, but
my friend appeared to take no notice OF
this fact. BY and by he bent over me
and asked quietly:
"Reade, do you see that fine-lookmg

My friend laid his hand on the mans
shoulder and said something. The vii

to pull out pistol, but johnson sprane
upon him like tiger. The conductor
came in just here, and both together
they overpowered the rascal.
When the train stopped at the mex
station, saw Johnson leading the fel
low, handcufied from the train.
Some time after this learned by th,
newspapers that the whole gang wer
