Farmers Interest.

AIR. Editor Your editorial remarks upon
Farmers Interests in last week paper, pre-
sents Il statement which invites serious con-
sideraiiun on the part of our whole communi-
ty. The fact of discrimination against East
ern farmers in the charges for rail road trans
portation, aud the consequent disastrous effect
on wheat growers in this region are only too
true. But when you ''reach the conclusion
that the Grange is responsible almost entirely
for the serious disadvantage to us, and that
the order is therefore inincal to our formers, -
you go farther, as seems to me, than fair and
rational view Of the facts will justify. There
is no dispute about the facts, which are simply
these: The farmers of the West considering
themselves aggrieved by extravagant rates
charged for transportation, banded together
into the organization of the Grange, and were
thus enabled to exert successfully the force
which always comes of cooperation and of
union. The number of persons who Joined
the order was so large as to make them po,c-
err in the community, whose demands were
not to be resisted. They combined for the
purpose of 'bettering their condition." and
that is short but complete statement of the
purposes of the Grange. They were success
full in their object, as is pretty sure to be the
case when numbers and intelligent co-opera.
ton come to the front in any prope: enter
prise.
Now what is the fair inference both iDstruc-
tive and practical, to be drawn from the fact
thus clearly and broadly set before us2 We see
there the great principle exemplifed that
the uillers of the soil, hitherto helpless be-
cause of their isolated condition, found
themselves through their union a power
in the State, able TO compel the justice,
which, when acting separately, they could not
have attained. 1t is the old story and could
there be more convincing proof of the bene-
fit te he enjoyed by farmers through associa-
lion in an organized body? Can it be reason
| ably doubted, If the farmers of the East had
been thoroughly united, that is, If they had
gone into the Grange in numbers correspond
ing to the organization of the West, that all
just and beneficial reforms and improvements
| would be brought within their reach 1t is q
lamentable fact that the majority Of our farm
ers have hitherto failed to perceive the added
power and influence which they would gain
through this admirably organized association
lis purposes are by no means limited to secur-
ing material advantages. They include all
| that contributes 10 the bettermeut of the farm
er's condition and the welfare, social, pccuai-
airy and intellectual, of his family. 1t is
simply inexplicable why all intelligent persons
engaged in this nohlest of all empoymeuts do
not come forward TO reap the benefits which
this organization offers freely TO them all. =

Minstrel C0ncert.-As will be seen from
the advertisement 10 another column the D.
Il. B. G. intend giving two minstrel perform
ances at Grange Hail. Mechanicsvile, on the
nights of Thursday and Friday, March the
9Th and 18th. The Club has been induced TO
give these performances somewhat, no doubt,
from the very aattering manner 10 which toe
performance at Diamond Hall, GaIihersblrg,
on the 18th instant, was received. Certainly
the Cub had every reason TO be well pleased
with its audience, both as TO numbers and re-
spectabiliiy, for the Hall was filed With the
very best people Of the vicinity, both male
and female. That the audience were well
pleased With the club was shown by the rounds
Of applause and many encores, commencing
with the opening and ending only with the
end, in fact, never was an audience more
pleased. The programme consisted OF songs,
dances. light comedies, &c, which generally
90 10 make up a minstrel performance aud
was most excellent one, 10 fact, ''side split
ting" We understand the one at Mechanics
willie will be the same 10 many respects, though
not in all. but will be equally as good II not
better. We congratulate the good people Of
that vicinity on the prospect they have Of
spending two most delightful evenings. We
bespeak for the Club a cordial welcome and
crowded houses. Don't forget the night.

Writing for the Press An exchange
gives the following sensible advice to persons
who wish TO give their views upon subjects
through the columns of the press:
In writing for the press, hug your subject
closely and don't let it ont of your grasp or
lose sight of il for a moment. If you have
been led into an Introduction, cut /, out, es-
pccialy if it strikes you as being uncommonly
good The public hate introductions If yon
have ssid why you write, strike that out aleo.
You are nooen,ily, and the public don't care
anything about your motives foe writing
Plunge head-frst into your subject AMI get
rid of il in the fewest possible and shores;
words that will describe what you have to
say. Josh Billings says he don't care how
much man talks If he says 1t in a few words,
and the same applies TO writing. The raciest,
wltliest and most epigrammatic writers leave
a mental feeling behind akin to the carnal
one 10 the case Of hungry man who has just
psrtakeu Of splendidly cooked and succulent
food provided in too small quaRtity-lhere is
a healthy craving for more

Advice 10 donSump,ives.

The celebrated physician, DR.. Paul
Memeyer, gives the following valuable
suggestions to persons suffering from
lung affections. "rhc patient must
with scrupnlous consclcntousncss Insist
upon breathing fresh, pure mir, aud must
remember that the mir Of closed rooms Is
always more or less bad. " ="
No man, however uncleanly, would
drink muddy, dirty water. A party
which occupies u room for hours, breath
ing the same air, might he compared TO
a party Of bathcrs drinking the water In
which they battle. The patient must
keep the window Of his bedroom open.
Night air Ia fresh MIR without daylight.
