From all parts of the country reports
come of the immense sales and increasing
demand for that deseryingly popular Sew
ing Machine, The Old and Reliable "STAN-
DARD,' the price of which, the proprietors
wisely reduced to $40 including all the at
tachments, and at once secured fer them a
popularity among the people, tar beyond
that ever yet attained by any other ma
chine at any price, the consequence of which
is agents are leaving the old high priced ma
chimes, and seeking territory for the "STAN-
DARD." Knowing from experience that
with the best goods at the lowest price they
can ontsell all other Machines, where the
superior quality and low price is made
known. This splendid Machine combines
all the Improvements. 1t is far ahead of all
others in beauty and durability Of its work,
ease of management. light running and GER
tainty of operation, is sensibly made upon
sound principles; with positive working
parts all steel. and can be safely put down as
the very perfection Of a Serviceable Sewing
Machine. in every particular, that will out
last any Machine, and at a price far down
below any other. 1t is thoroughly warrant
ed for five years. Kept IN order free of
charge. And sent to any part OF the Coun-
try for examination by the customer before
payment of the bill. We can predict equal
" as large a demand for them in this sec
ton as in others. Families desiring the best
Machine manufactured should write direct

wishing to seize the chance should apply for

Suffering for a Lifetime.

Persons afflicted with the rheumatism
often suffer for a lifetime, their tortures be-
ing almost without remission. The Joints
and muscles of such unfortunates are in
most cases shockingly contorted and drawn
out OF shape. To afford them even tempo
rary relief, the ordinary remedies often
prove utterly useless. Hostetter's stomach
bitters. on the other hand, is avouched by
persons who have used it, to be a genuine
source of relief. It keeps the blood cool by
promoting a regular habit of the body, and
remove from it impurities which, in the
opinion OF all rational pathologists, origi-
nate this agonizing complaint and Its kim
Bitters remedy disorders of the stomach,
liver and nerves, prevent and eradicate in
termittent and remittent %fevers, promote
appetite and sleep, and are highly recon-
mended by physicians as a desirable medici-
nal stimulant and tonic.

PATRONS OF HUSBANl|lD)RY.
THE GROWING GE.

OF course it is not to be expected that
every subordinate grange in the land is
prosperous; but from the purposes the Or
der seeks to accomplish and the material
with which it has TO work, it ought to be.
everywhere not only prosperous but pro-
noting Il beneficent work. We have no
fear or suspicious that the grange will fail.
Very far from it. The farmer. whether he
be d member Of the order or not, cannot af-
ford to let it die. Its maintenance underlies
the prosperity of the individual-the pros
perity of the agricultural class nnderlies the
national prosperity. The drift OF the
thought leads us to consider the importance
of agriculture and the relation OF the agri-
cult,rists to the commonwealth. We come
back to tie first thought OF the value Of a
prosperous grange to the progress OF the
farmer. This proposition rightly under
stood will not be questioned. We ought,
therefore, to expect an enthusiasm on the
part Of the membership, and 4 continued
growth both in numbers and influence. Cir
cumstances and surroundings may. and
most probably often do, retard or destroy
many Il subordinate grange that would be
otherwise efficient. But even here there
ought to be enthusiasm. The surprise is
that in SO many instances, where there is in
telligence. some enthusiasm and an abiding
faith in the result, the grange has come to u
standstill AMI considers itself fortunate if it
has been ahle to hold the members who
Joined when the order was on its high tide.
Let the worthy master, oyerseer and lec-
turer, with any other efficient members they
may call to their help, study the pecnliari.
tics of their grange and work up faithfully
to that. It may be a social supper, a SPELL
ing school. an interest In music, literary
performances. the study of some science al
lied to agriculture, 4 debating club. or a
plan to save or turn an honest penny I'M
any or all of these are worthy candid and
careful consideration. and whatever is the
bent of the iseighborhood. not in hostility to
the purposes of the order, should be kept
prominently torward.-Er.

WASHINGTON.
The Democratic Programme.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-An adjournea
meeting of the advisory committee OF the
House and Senate Democratic caucuses, decid-
ed to divide the judicial bill into two separate
bills, the first to contain all appropriations ex-
cept the item for U. S. marshals' fees. 1t will
also repeal the Jurors test oath, and amend the
law in regard to drawing jurors.
The second bill will contain the appropria-
ton for marshals with the Objectionable fea-
lures of the vetoed bill.
Joint Caucus on the Vetoed Bills.
The Democratic senators and representa-
tives held Joint caucus this afternoon to re-
ceiye the report of the advisory committees on
the judicial expenses bill. Extraordinary pre-
caution was taken to preserve secrecy. The
report provides for division OF the vetoed
bill into two bills, the first to provide for jul
dicial expenses; the second to contain those
| clauses to which the President objects. The
adoption of the report was advocated by X err
nan in an earnest speech, who said this plan
was the wisest and most eXpedient in every
point of view.
Considerable discussion was had on resolu-
| ton to pass the bill again in its present form,
| but was rejected Another resolution offered
was that both Houses Immediately adjourn,
and if reconvened adjourn again and so on ad
infinitum This, when it came up in the regl-
lar order was laid on the table. The report
| of the advisory committee was adopted I'M
amended and the bills will be reported to the
| House tomorrow.
The Debate was very animated and at
| times considerable excitement prevailed Its
most determined opponents now say they will
make no further opposition to the measures.
Congress will probably finally adjourn inn
mediately after the Presidents action on the
| bills
