Ninth Annual Session.
Report of the Committee on Suggestions for the
p. Good of the Order.
Your Committee, after consulting carefully
about the best means OF promoting the welfare Of
the Order in this State, would beg to report that
a decline ofinterest in it as an organization among
the farmers is now and must in the future conSti
tute the chief difficulty have to contend with
In order to meet that difficulty, we can suggest
no better plan than to keep constantly in the field
an efficient Lecturer upon sufficient salary
whose duty shall be to visit all parts of the State
as often possible during the ensuing year, and
especially those counties where he may have rea.
son TO believe most good can be effected, but the
fact being that the State Grange is not able to nav
the salary, compels us to recommend another way
of raising means to meet the expense, and would
ask the adoption of the following:
Ist. That in consideration of 81 , co. to be raised
hereinafter provided, and paid into the hands
of the Secretary of the State Grange by or before
the Ist day of March, 1885, it shall be the duty of
the Worthy Master, upon his signifying his accep-
lance of the above said amount as compensation
for his services, to take the field after the above
named day and devote all his energies to a revival
of the Order among the farmers of this State
and That the Secretary of this Grange be re-
quired, as soon as practicable after the adjourn.
ment, to notify every delegate and Master of Sub
ordinate Grange that he is expected to act as
committee for his county to ascertain at ono.
from each Subordinate Grange what it NAV be
willing both as a boiy or as individuals, to con-
tribute towards such salary, with instructions to
have their contributions sent to the Secretary of
the State Grange in time to reach him by the first
day of March, 1850, with the understanding that
if more than enough is raised to meet the salary,
the overplus be retained in the Treasury for a
similar purpose the following year, but if less lie
shall be required to devote only so much time to
the work as the amount subscribed shall be pro-
portionally to the amount of the salary, the time
to be selected by himsefwhen he can best spare it,

EFFECT OF EDUCATION ON. La
-t&f@tf8 Ha-s0 s0E ROR So 81 E 3Eyt 4}kA


The value that is created and added to
matter by labor is in the ratio of the skill
of the worker or the appropriations of
they are made The degree of these is in
proportion to the mental cooperation
with the movements of the hands. When
the mind is torpid, the hand works alone,
and for want of watchful guide it moves
in an uncertain manner and with doubtful
effect; but in as far as the mind is quick
ened by education, the perceptive facul-
ties sharpened and the reflective faculties
strengthened. the movements of the
hands directed to their .purpose-they
strike in proper direction and with APP
propriate momentum; all the force is ex
pended to advantage; none of the blows
are lost; each one produces changes that
add to the value of the material operated
upon. Education, then, is the economy
of force, and gives it a greater power to
create value. 1t enables the intelligent
and skillful to add more to the worth of
matter than the ignorant. + 4. ".5.as
% The cost Of educating labor er-of set
ting him to thinking, and fitting him to
expend his forces to advantage-is very
small. The few years of youth, when the
body is comparatively weak, the expenses
for teachers, for books, etc, are but small
sacrifices compared with the gain. The re-
turn in increased productive power is
great and permanent It's the difference
between the sl<ilIful and quickly moving
and the unskillful and slow workman,
between the large and certain and the
comparatively small and uncertain pro-
ducer.--DR. EDWARD JARVIS. nag

Thus it will be seen that an investment
of $40 in cooperative store for II wears
would yield $40, 1860 to one one person,
he purchasing from this (his) store 500
worth of goods each year. This calcula,
ton is based upon actual experience, and
is far below the success of some Co-oper-

that three hundred persons engage in a
cooperative business for II years. each

a saving to them of $3.1o3,o9o upon an

SCIENCE AND PRACTICAL LIFE.

At recent meeting of the Royal So
ciety, London. DIR. William Spottiswoode,
in an address, introduced the following
thought that science and practical life
were essentially distinct, and that in their
cares and their purposes, in their sorrows
and their joys, neither intermingled with
the other. But in proportion as it has
been gradually recognized that science,
and even philosophy itself, is based upon
experience, so has their distinction grad
ually faded from our view. And among
many other instances of forecasts in this
direction by far seeing men, l may adduce
the dream Of Babbage, that mathematical
calculation might be reduced to mechan-
ism, and that the data of many problems
both Of physics and OF life might
be handed over to an engine which
would work outs the results. That
dream of his was as nearly realized
as any dream of his ever could be- for
the merit and the charm of the man him
self, and the fascination which he threw
about all his projects, were derived from
the fact that, at whatever rate realization
followed, his ideas flew faster still and
outstripped them all. And if, in the ma
chinery for complicated calculation de-
signed by the Thomsons, much more has
been actually achieved than ever before, it
is not because this is generation of more
feeble folk, or because there has been any
lack of elasticity of mind or fertility of
ideas, but because their minds and their
ideas have been more under control, and
because these men have succeeded in that
which their great predecessor always
missed, namely, mastery over themselves. ="
There are not few workers in every de-
partment of effort who will appreciate this
conclusion

A BISHOPS LIBEL SUIT Bishop Herzog,
of the Old Catholic Church, has obtained
damages in suit for libel against a Basic
newspaper, the Folksbldtt. Units Berne cor
respondence Old Catholicism and all its
works were denounced in violent terms,
and Bishop Herzog was stigmatized as "a
comedian and an "alcoholized priest =
jaltkoholischer pfarrer), the latter express
sion being evidently play on the term
acknowledgement (Old Catholic priest).
In his defense the editor stated that the
Objectionable adjective as it appeared in
his correspondents letter was alkoolischer,
and that, recognizing its insulting if not
Iibellous Specification, he had altered it to
altkatholischer; but by the stupid perver-
sity of a compositer the word had been set
up altkholscher, which, being barbarous,
unmeaning compound, and not German
word at all, could hardly be held to con-
stitute SANDER As for the epithet
comedian" the defendant contended that
inasinueh as Old Catholics preserve many
of the outward forms of the religion they
have left, and their priests clothe them
selves in sacerdctal vestments, while they
have abandoned the beliefs, OF which
these are the emblems, of the Church te
which they rightly appertain, Bishop Her
zog. when ne performs ecclesiastical func
tions, is really playing part In comedy
The defense, though ingenious, was I'M
awaiting.

CAPITOL NOTES.

/ When Denis Kearney was in the city
recently he called Assemblyman Maybell
into the lobby ard said to him in a strong,
business-like way. "Maybell, you must pass
law here regulating labor. This session
must not go by without law that will fix
the price of labor and make us all square on
that subject. You know we have the Con-
stitution now, and the majority of our new
Supreme Court are Communistic, so damn it,
drive ahead and give us a law that will
clinch the thing" Maybell answered him
somewhat despondingly, saying, L can't do
it, Kearney the damned Constitution amt
what thought it was. | may be able to get
law through to enforce the eight-hour law
upon public works, but that's as far as we
can go. tell you what it is, we're sold on
that Constitution. Why, we can't do any
thing under it. 1 can't get up and say two
words upon any subject but that cussed thing
is showed at me, and that always settles 1t.
You wouldn't be on this floor two days be
fore you would see it just as tell you.
tel you, Kearney, We can't do anything until
we burst that damned Constitution all to
hell. And that's what we've got to do" AT
this juncture they resolved themselves into
Committee of "Ways and Means upon the
subject, and walked off together bordering
over the new field of adventure.
A Joint committee from the City Council
of Stockton and the Board of Supervisors of
San Joaquin county have been appointed,
and will arrive in this city tomorrow, to so
before the Judiciary Committees of both
houses of the Legislature, and request
that the navigable streams of the
city be put under the supervision
&c ba pnarJ nf
This action is taken from fears entertained
that the navigable channels near Stockton
will entirely fill up, as it is asserted that
recent examinations at Stockton show that
the Mormon slough, according to actual
soundings, has been filed up by deposit
within three years, ranging from four to seven
feet in depth. The committee upon the sub
ject consists of G. A. Rusgles, A. G. Paul
sell, Alex. Gall, John Archer, A. Shedd and
J. G. Campbell.
The committee appointed to investigate the
cause of burning of the State Normal School
at San Jose, having reported to the under
writers their conclusions, after examination
under oath of all possible witnesses, that the
fire originated from defective ash chute
being In close proximity to wood, it is thought
at the Capitol that the proposed committee
of investigation from the Legislature will not
now be appointed
Friends of the State ConstabuIary bill are
highly satisfied with the favorable feeling
among the members of the Legislature upon
the subject, and also from the almost unani-
nous support the measure is receiving from
the press of the interior counties.
1t is understood that the joint committee
of the two houses which have been en-
deavoring to perfect bill organizing the
State Board of Equalization, and defining its
duties, has failed to agree, and that the
matter will now be considered by the CON-
mittee from each House separately, and each
committee will report bill of its own.

A STORY OF CLAY.

Here is an anecdode told me by my
father, who was great admirer of Clay's,
and who was an eyewitness of the scene.
1t has never appeared in print, at least to
my knowledge, and for its truth I can
vouch When Henry Clay ran for the
first time for. Congress he was billed to
address an assembly in the open air. A
vast crowd had convened to hear the young
orator, and conspicuous above all arose the
tall form of Jim Burnim, a rough, with an
unenviable reputation and great personal
enemy of Clay's, owing to repeated de-
feats sustained by him from Clay in his
political aspirations. When Clay had CON-
menced his address Burnim placed himself
directly opposite him in the crowd and an
noyed the speaker continually by Interrupt
| tions and personal remarks, hut chiefly by
kissing every good point Clay produced. No
| matter how smooth and lucid his stream of
oratory might be, or how forcible his argu-
nient, Burnim was ready at the fms with
his insulting hiss. This continued until
| Clay could stand it no longer, and when,
after a particularly pungent thrust at the
| morality of the anti-Federalists, he was
greeted with the indomitable, silent howl
| of Burnim's, he turned savagely to him,
and with flashing eyes delivered this cutting
speech &c Mr.. Burnim," said he, "when
your last hour has come, aud your evil
sinful soul has sought the dark shades of
hell; when standing there before its sui
phurous gates, your spirit charred with sin
awaits admittance, Satan, glowing in his
crimson majesty, shall ask his vassals gath
cred around him who it is that stands out
| side his portals, and when he's told that
you are there, he'll rise, and with a look of
dark disgust, cry to his waiting menials

"BurrALo BILLS INDIANS

Readers of the RECORD UNION will remem
Der that when Buffalo Bill " and Captain
Jack" played here what proved quite a
| heightened engagement for those noted scouts,
that mention was made in these columns oil
the odd lot the frontiersmen brought with
them from San Francisco as supers, who per-
sonated the wild Indians of the plains that
bill and "Jack" nightly slew SO remorse-
lessly. The youths were a lively knot of fell
lows, and soon made themselves known
throughout the city. and "Buffalo Bills In
| diansS were the texts for several facetious
mentions by the city press. The final
"local" they received, was an account of
their being left behind in Sacramento, while
the remainder of the troupe went over to
Virginia. They were evidently much at.
tached to the scouts, and decidedly in love
with stage-life. They were without means,
and begged piteously to be taken lover the
hill" What became of them, has not before
been definitely stated. Now comes Captain
Jack, the temperance frontiersman, with a
book of his poems and sketches, in which he
gives the sequel to the story about the
'supers,' whom he terms Robust Hood
lums, with faces already made up for the
war-path" He adds that g the pleasure of
being slaughtered by Buffalo Bill had an
irresistible fascination for them.
When we reached Virginia City no supers
were to be seen but on opening the ward
robe trunk we found that several Indian
suits were missing, and came to the conclu-
sion that the 'supers' had stolen the toggery
and started on the war-path on their own
account. About o'clock that afternoon;
however. number of them turned up, car
rying their wardrobe under their arms. They
told their experience as follows: when we
got through in Sacramento, we didn't know
what the mischief to do next Finally, we
went into the theater and snaffied our ward
robes, then went into an old shed, dressed
up in our toys and painted our faces. You
see Indians are allowed to'ride free on all the
roads; so we got on the back platform, and
concluded we could fake it through some
how. The conductor never bothered us till
we struck Reno, when Scotty, the dog-gone
fool, gave us dead away, trying to spout
Shakespeare When he said Now is the
summer Superintendent Yerinoton, who
was passing along the platform, heard the
blasted fool, and dropped on the whole
racket. He called couple of brakemen,
and told 'em we war white men, and they
fired US off. We commenced to jabber Choc
taw and Piute, but it wouldn't work worth a
cent Then we slid around and got into q
freight car, but they dropped on that and
fired us again. Then we walked up from
Reno-and here we are. Yes, here we
are said Scotty, AN if we don't eat till
after the show, we're liable to drop without
bein shot Bill ordered some rations, and
the noble warriors went through their war
dance that night on full stomachs.

WASTE IN CoKE-MAKING.-T waste OF
valuable products in coke makingisstr
commented upon by DR.. Angus Smith, In
spector under the Alkali Acts in England.
He calls attention to the fact that, in the
combustion of every ton of coal made into
coke, twenty pounds of ammonia are given
off and allowed to go to waste. He esti-
mates the annual loss of ammonia thus
wasted to be not less than 100, 600 tons,
which, at els per ton, would represent a
money value of G., $40, 0G0 Tor over Sll,-
000,0 annually thrown away. In addi-
ton to this, the tar allowed to go to waste
in the same way amounts to half that sum,
which swells the annual loss to the enor-
nous sum of more than three and a half
million pounds sterling. The loss does not
stop here for, as DIR. Smith proceeds to
show, ammonia being valuable fertilIzlng
substance, it follows that, if the amount
wasted, as above noted, were saved and
properly applied, it would yield an increase
of eight millions at least. At Bessages, IN
France, he says, where coke-burning is
practiced, all the gases are utilized in the
process, showing that the saving of these
valuable elements is practicable. The same
reproach may properly be cast upon the
manner in which the manufacture of coke
is carried out in this country.
