MISTAKE OF OUR RFST
YOUNG MEN

by our best young men we mean the
young men of generous and lofty instincts
whose minds and hearts have been biobI,,
cultivated. BY the very excellence of
their nature and qualities these YOUNG men
are subject to peculiar danger They are
full OF capacity to enjoy life and have
Keen zest for its thousand pleasures.
They are generous, sympathetic. and
fond of social life. Among the habits Of
social life pretty generally prevalent the
indulgence in wines. The tendency of
this habit is always toward excess. Young
men drink great deal of wine, not be-
cause they care particularly about it them
selves, but because they desire to be gen
erous in the treatment of their companions
and associates.
Much of this wine is vilely adulterated
Even if pure it is a stimulant which in
such quantities as are used would be in.
furious. The adulteration greatly increases
its harmful effects.
What is the consequence? We behold
around, every year, graves opening for the
beloved and cherished sons of opulent
family who die of Bright's disease or some
other form or illness brought on by the
tree use of stimulants. How many hopes
buried in these graves! They cover the
form OF the deceased, but they contain al
SO the broken hearts of parents, and the
bruised spirits of loving friends.
we have no can't to indulge in on this
subject, and we have no tiresome bomilv
% write; but the mistake of young menim
making wines and liquors such important
parts of social pleasures, we see, in mel
'ncholy instances, too often proving ia,
al mistake.

HAND POWER LOOMS

Editor Patron. In connection with the
| "new process" cotton factories, | would
like to see the Oranges turn their atten-
ton to the introduction of hand power
looms. For beginning, let each Grange
purchase one loom. It will cost, with the
| freight, not exceeding $3.50. 1t can be
run by lady with a ten year old boy to
turn the crank. 1t will turn out from ten
to fifteen yards of jeans, tweeds sattinets,
cassimeres in day, or from 20 to IS yards
of plain cotton cloth. This would give
about 1000 yards per annum of the wool
ems, if only these were woven, or about
100000 yards in the whole State, if eve
ry Grange in Mississippi should purchase
a loom. This, of course, is a small guam
ritv compared with our whole Consump-
ton, but it would be good seed well sown.
1t would be the beginning of what, next
to agriculture, is the surest source of the
prosperity of community or State
small factories, minor industries, in the
homes of the people. 1t is this that makes
France SO prosperous, that built up Phil
adelphia. that laid the foundation of New
England's wealth and prosperity, making
her the manufacturing centre of the I'm
ion, to which all other sections pay tribute.
We Of the South need indoor employ
ment for our women-our sisters, wives
and daughters; not the ordinary labors of
the household, but productive remunera-
tive employment in avocations to which
they are peculiarly adapted.
When success shall have crowned their
first venture, the Oranges can double, ire
BILE, quadruple the number of looms. In
dividuals would purchase and run looms
A lady could purchase one for but little
more than she used to pay for high
priced sewing machine, and she would
find the homework less laborious, more
healthful, and more remunerative. How
many ladies in our towns and villages
could find remunerative employment
would be added to the list of wealth pro-
ducers
The 'new process" factories would fur.
nish the cotton warp; thousands of busy
hands and whirring spindles in all the
homes throughout the State, would pre-
pare the wooden wool Of course, we
should have to raise more sheep, and to
start more wool-carders. But all these
would grow up together. In very few
years we could manufacture, not one mil
lion, but twenty millions of yards of wool
en- cloth, and that IN our own homes, by
our own labor, with our own capital, and
that without lessening the product of our
tselds. No foreign caRital called in, no
huge corporations created, no huddling of
hundreds of laborers together to the det-
riment of health and morals, no great out
lays for mammoth buildings that have
wrecked so many manufacturing enter
prises in their incipiency, no strife between
eapital and labor-no combinations to
lower wages==--fof the capitalist and the
laborer are one!

COOPERATIVE STORES.

The general cooperative stores in on
don have proved to be so useful and remun-
erative that the establishment of special
stores on similar principles is proposed. A
millinery and Dress" association has
been formed with a large shop in London
and a branch in Paris. Ladies who be-
long to it will not only be able to get at
the lowest possible prices the very latest
fashions in dress-they will also have a
share in the profits of the establishment.
The purchase of even single share in the
association gives participation in the
shops profits and privileges of dealing at
it. 1t is an excellent project and the
enormous SUCCESS of the other co-opera-
tive stores is an earnest of the future state
of this one. The profits of a popular mil
liner and dressmaker are said to be alb
surdly and unreasonably large, and it will
be well to teach these people that thew
may some day come to be superfluous
The ''stores" offer to the enchanted female
eya q vista OF charming attire-for what
surly lord and master could refuse to his
wife new gown or bonnet when he
knows that the shop will return to her
pleasant little dividend at the end of the
year! 1t is perhaps useless to hope for
the existence of such ''stores" in New
fork -tou what an EnglishWomen would
consider laudable and righteous economy
an American woman would very toolishly
call 'meanness." One of the great virtues
of'the average Briton is that he or she is
not afraid to economic quite frankly and
openly; 1t is no disgrace with them to look
after the pennies. And it does not pre-
vent thera ftam doing pobly genefous
deeds NezV York Tribune.

1t is said that all of the Northern Dem
ocrats in Congress are opposed to passing
new appropriation bills drawn SO as to
meet the approval of Hayes, and that the
yielding will be on the part of Southern
Democrats, enough of whom will break
lines to pass the bills with the votes of
the Republicans and the Greenbackers.

SHEEP DIP.-An agricultural journal
gives the following as good dip for sheep:
Tobacco, lbs; oil of tar, II pints; soda
ash, 10 lbs; soft soap, lbs; water, *
gallons. Boil the tobacco, and dissolve the
other ingredients in few gallons of wa
ter, then add enough water to make up
the Is gallons. This will suffice for *
sheep. The temperature of the water
should be kept at about 70 deg. Fair
Keep each sheep in the bath three or four
minutes, This will not inure the wool.

Mr.. Wheeler c. Ellis, at Georgetown,
Col. and Miss Lima Sallers, at Wash
ington Court House, Va, were married
by telegraph one day last week. Three
years ago Wheeler Ellis, young,
poor, and Woodworking mechanic, left
Washington for the Far West to seek
his fortune, leaving behind lovely
and lonely maiden to await his coming
at some future time, when his finances
would admit of marriage. This time
had come this week, but on account of
business engagements, the young man
found he could not make the trip East.
A friend arrived from Colorado, and
wished to take the young woman West
with him, where the marriage ceremony
was to be performed. But her mother
would not consent. Her daughter
must be married first before she set
out. The girl had waited long already,
and nothing but distance seemed to
stand in the way. At the suggestion
of the Rev. George Carpenter the tele
graph was called into service. This
Gained the old lady's objections and
the preacher performed the ceremony.
No cards. The only spectators were a
friend or two. From the time of the
first message till the young man an
swered the solemn Il do" was some
thing over four hours. The bride
started Immediately for her home and
her husband in the Far West. What
God hath joined together by telegraph

Uses of the Horse in South America.

The following is an extract from the
letter of II lady residing at Buenos
Ayres: You see that we are now at
Mercedes. On our way out we noticed,
from the railway station, Il great num-
Der of horses; not grazing, as they may
be seen anywhere, nor trying to run
races with the train, as they may be
seen any day, but with an important,
business-like look about them. There
were few Guachos standing near
them. who also appeared to have some
thing to do, which is an unusual thing
with the natives, who seem always as if
they had never done anything and
never intended to do anything. In re-
ply to our inquiry, we were told THAI
the horses had just been threshing; that
the sheaves of corn are put into an in
closed place like pen, and the widest
come atable horses are driven in and
dashed to make them kick and jump
and so the wheat is threshed.
1.-The horse" says MAYORS Spelling
book, sis very useful animal; but
surely none but the Guachos know its
value. When the milkman comes in
the morning ard is asked for the butter
ordered, he will perhaps say that he has
not made it yet. Back he Chambers on
his horse, where he sits surrounded by
his milk cans, and on he trots. Pres
emily he dismounts, opens his cans,
skins the butter Off the top of each,
puts it into a cloth, mounts again, and
trots about selling his milk as he goes
al ng. After few hours he returns
and hands IN the butter; and not bad
butter either when it is sailed and set
tied up.

PROPAGATINd PLANTS BY CUTTINGS

PRopAGATINa PLANTS BY CUTTINGS
The season is approaching when this
mode of increase is practised by those
wishing to do so. The class of plants
capable of increase by cutting is very
large, including, among trees, catalpa,
mulberry, cottonwood, Lombardy pop
lar, and many others, as well as cur
rants, gooseberries, grapes, blackber-
ry roots, quinc $, and frequently APP
piles and pears as well as roses, wiegela
rosea, snow ball or virbunum, and
many of the ornamental plants. BY
far the best mode of doing this is TO
take off the cuttings in fall, and bury
all winter in a dry place in the ground.
An acquaintance takes off currant cut
tings very early,-as soon as the leaves
drop in August or September, -buries
them, and plants out next spring. He
claims that they then grow bet
ter than if set ont with wellformed
roots.-T. IN Prairie Farmer.
