ANN U AL ADORE SIS.


Brothers and Sisters: We have reach
ed that point in the history of our Order
when apologies for the Grange and ex-
p essions of hope for its success, or fears
| OF its future have ceased to be in order.
The Grange is established.-it is one of the
forces of the day operating in business.
social and political affairs. That farmers
have organized and have an institution
we'll adapted to their wants and necessities
| there does not remain a doub' nor can
there be many who are ignorant of the
method, discipline and constantly inCreas-
ing strength of the Grange.
1t now only remains for farmers to avail
themselves of the opportunity afforded by
the Grange to reap the advantages which
inevitably follow combination, and which
can never be attained single handed The
condition of the Order in isolated cases is
no criterion by which to Judge, nor can
the fluctuations of rospsrity in certain
localities be taken as evidence of the con-
dition of the Order at large. Subordinate
Oranges may remain dormant and State
Grange cease to convene, but the Grange
a large will not be atfr cted materially by
such vicissitudes 1t is fact that some
STATE Garages have failed utterly and
many Subordinate Oranges have gone out
continuous, overlapping not only State
lines but National borders, and is now
fourishine in the Dominion of Canada,
mum boring hundreds of Oranges and thou
sands ofmembers. Nor can we congratu-
late ourselves too highly upon the capabil-
ity of the Grange to solve many veXed
questions How unlike the combinations
of the Old World for the redress of griev-
ancesl In its secret parts it shields no
dagger ready to be buried in the breasts of
those in authority; but it makes the nobler
and juster way of righting wrongs by
teaching and training the oppressed a
peacable solution of their trouble-that is
the deposit of wise ballot.
The radical changes and rapid culmina-
ton of events which have marked the last
half century require that every force in So
ciety developed and brought into action.
The calls upon individual life and the calls
upon all classes are greater now than they
were fifty years ago. 1t is the tendency of
the age to centralize and monopolize, and
CORPORATIONS are souiless and without
feeling. They study their own interests
and gather into their service the wealth
and most brilliant talent the country affords
nor are they conscience stricken that
Their gains are the loss and material de
struction of other classes of men. In order
to equalze and make balance against the
great corporations of the day, 1t is neces-
sary to confront them with forces IN some
degree commensurate with their strength.
The consolidated power of few men of
talent ensconsced in the security of cor
norafion are a match in BUSINESS ability
for thousand men of ordinary ability.
They sit7serene and unmoved, though the
people cry out against them and beg for
help to save them from monster which

IMPORTANT TO CAIRO.

From the letter given below, which APP
peared in yesterdays Globe Democrat, it
will be seen that Cairo will probably have
besides the Texas narrow-gauge railroad
another narrow-gauge road connecting it
direct with Louisville and Cincinnati
The plans for building the road appear,
from the communication, to be rapidly
maturing. Yesterday the surveyors Of
the Texas road reached Greenfeld's
Landing, opposite Cairo and, If the water
goes down sufficiently to permit it, they
will commence throwing up the embank-
ment from this end in ten or fifteen days.
Thus, within the next year or so, Cairo
may expect to have altogether three more
railroads than she now has.
But here is the letter;
PARIS, GEORGETOWN AND FRANKFORT
RAILROAD. FRANKFORT, KY, April 28 1881.
Col. j. W. Paramore, President Texas
and St. Louis Railroad, st. Louis, Mo-:
Deaf SIR am informed that you have a
prospect OF extending your road north
through Arkansas and Missouri to Caro-
We are building a narrow gauge road from
Louisville to make connection with Gin
cinnati, and have organized company Il
construct road from Louis
vile to Cairo, il there is pros
pect OF getting a Earrow-gauge connection
at that point. You will see by the map
inclOse, with our line marked connecting
with your line, that it will make the shortest
and most direct road 10 Louisville and
Cincinnati, and the most populous portion
of Kentucky and Ohio, and would COM
mand large business. Please let me hear
from you. Yours respectfully,
J. c. FAwcETT, Gen'l Manager.
By referring to geographically correct
map, 1t will be seen that line drawn from
Cairo, through Paducah, Greensboro and
Louisville, to Cincinnati, will show itself
to be nearly ir.line, and will run through
some of the hveliest towns in Southern Hi
nois, Indiana and Kentucky. Col. Para
more Will answer the letter to-day, assuring
Mr.. Fawcett that his company will afford
the P. G. and F. every facility in its power.
1t is claimed that narrow-gauge road can
run alongside standard gauge road de-
claring per cent, dividend, and the mar
row road will be enabled to declare a 90
per cent dividend. Ten per cent OF this
can be given to the public in the way Of
reduced rates and still have handsome
profit left. st. Louis cotton men are firm
believers in the narrow.gauge system.

BURR ROBBINS & COLyIy.

This greatest OF great shows, circus and
menagerie will be in Cairo on the 18th Of
May, and give an exhibition afternoon and
evening. The press Of the country unite
in glowing tributes to the show and its
management. A fair specimen OF these
Communications we give below from the
Cincinnati Enquirer;
"The great exhibition is the model one
of the day, in every respect-in fact, we
but speak the universal sentiment of our
people, when we say that it is to-day one OF
the best shows in America, and far superior
to anything of the kind ever seen here. Mr..
Robbins, the proprietor, is not only an
experienced Snowman, but very pleasant
and agreeable gentleman, whose
arduous duties are shared
By his accomplished and kind hearted lady,
What Mr.. and Mrs. Robbins ore them
selves, they demand the same of their
whole corps of employees, viz: FAIR and
honorable dealing, and the greatest civihty
to everybody. We never saw a more orderly
and well-behaved company of ladies and
gentlemen with any travelling exhibition.
The managerie consists of choice selection
of animals, birds, ETC.. and the ring
performance, in point of skill and science,i is
OF very instructive and amusing character.

Discoveries in Ancient Mexico.

M. Lesire Charnev, who recently re-
turned from the Franco-Lorillard expe-
dition in exploring in Mexico and Gem
trail America, has brought away photo
graphs and paper impressions Of
Inscriptions and bas-reliefs which he
declares he would not take thirty thou
sand dollars for. Unfavorable weather
and the desertion of the Mexican lndi-
ans he had employed, forced his re-
turn much sooner than he originally
intended, but he proposes to return to
Mexico next October. He describes q
ruined Toltea city near Tobasco, on the
Mexican Gulf coast. He believes 1t
was founded between 1850 and 1850,
and was in perfect state OF preserva-
ton when Cortez invaded Mexico.
The hills were covered with temples,
pyramids and palaces. The largest in
the pyramids is 500 feet in height, and
a second is fully 800. Nature has
had more to do with these monuments
than art, as the builders had merely
shaped the hillocks into the pyramidal
form, and afterward faced them with
stone; and steps were also cut in the
sides, paved with mixture OF cement
and pebbles. He learned that in ancient
Spanish records statements were to be
found that this city was not destroyed
until after Vera Cruz was laid out. At
Palanqua he procured many valuable
impressions and tracings, and In the
way of discovery located tho ancient
cities of Tula, Niotihucican and Comal-
calico. In the course Of his travels he
also came across two hitherto unknown
cemeteries, and procured much inter-
esting and valuable data from the in
scriptions there discovered. A large
number Of photographs Of mural de-
signs, upward Of u hundred paper pres
sings of bas-reliefs, and many impress
sions of the hieroglyphics on the mouid-
ering temples, palaces and monuments
were also secured.
