the education he gets in the Gran gC
is better than any schooling he re-
ceivcd when a boy. 1t may bc
claimed that we have better educa-
tional advantages now than then
that we have our agricultural col
leges, and SO we have. But | be-
lieve that there is no neutral ground
in the mind; if we have no infue
ence to carry it forward, it goes
backward, and this stimulating in
fuence for the farmer must DE found
in the Grange. His newspapers he
can read, but if he belongs to nc
Grange he has no desire OR energy
to trv the experimental knowledge
thus gained, that he may be graft
fed by telling the results to his
brother Grangers; therefore the ed
cational influence of the Grange
will be needed in the future, no
matter how good the school advan
tages may be.
Again, the social influence of the
Grange will be needed moro in the
future than to~day, simply because
Of the better educational advan-
tages. But few educated young
men court solitude. There is an
enlightening influence in an educa~
tion that makes young man dread
to take up the sober solitude of a
farm life unless there is some place
where he can show his smartness
Men who have passed the active,
social age of their lives are ready for
the solitude and quiet of farm,
and seem to wish it. But the farm
er's calling needs the active young
men to work in It's behalf, and not
those who have retired from active
life. There will be more educated
farmers boys in the future than
there have been in the past, and the
Grange must supply them a social
home Every true farmer has pa
triotsm tor his calling and wishes
his sons to follow that calling; edu~
cate them and give them a Grange
that will continue their education,
and that will give them a social
place; sacrifice about fonr-fftbs of
your business discussions that are
dreaded by your wives, your sons
and your daughters, and give the
young people a chance; work to the
best of your ability to get them TO
improve the chance thus offered,
and in your old age you will spend
many happy hours in the Order,
listening to your sons and daugh-
ters as they carry on the glorious
work of the Grange, far happier
than you would be did you see them
nearly starving in some other call

The Jetties.

7 The special telegram to the Dem
ocrat from Washington, giving a
synopsis of the report of the United
States engineer in charge of the
Jetties in South Pass for the year
ending June 30, 1881, showed a
very gratifying condition of affairs
in the Magnificent channel which
the genius of Eads created for the
commerce of the Mississippi valley.
During the entire year" says
Captain Huer, "there was through
the jetties channel of thirty feet,
having a least width of 200 feet. ="
In the pass above the ietties, q
channel twenty-six feet was main
tanned, except for few days, when
for short distance below its head
it was slighly less, and cat present
there is channel from the main
river into the gulf whose least depth
is twenty seven feet and least width
100 feet"
The report, sustaining as it does
previous ones by other United
States engineers, ought to set at
rest forever those constitutional
doubters and grumbiers who have
steadily and from the first set their
faces against the jetties, and who,
spite of the incontestible evidence
of their success, furnished by the
passage through them every day of
the largest ships with full cargoes,
refuse to believe that they are any
thing more than an experiment that
must result in failure. The stability
of the jety walls has been tested by
the most terrific storms and yet they
stand to-day as firm as adamant,
buttressed beyond the peradventure
of accident by accretions, which,
having formed behind them, render
them as immovable as mountains-
dykes against which the Gulf, lash-
ed to fury by the fiercest tornadoes,
may dash itself in impotent anger.
Not all the carping of critics, or
of the enemies of Eads and of New
Orleans, can obliterate the ietties;
they will remain a solid and incon>
trovertible fact, splendid monu
ment to the great engineer who de
signed and built them, and an in
caIculable blessing to New Orleans
and the entire Valley.
They are revolutionizing the
trade, to the dismay of those who
control the railways and artificial
waterways of the North and East,
and they will in short time create
revolution in the import trade of
the Valley. The importation of
goods from Europe for the West
an i Southwest, via New York and
other Atlantic ports, will necessa-
rily cease SO soon as theigreat ad-
vantages of the river are under
stood, and steamers which now
como here in ballast or with only
partial freights will then come and
go with full cargoes each way

The Isthmian Ship Railway.

The difficulties encountered by
Mr.. Lesseps in making his prelim
mary surveys on the Isthmus Of
Darien have caused grave doubts to
arise in the minds of practical en-
gineers as to the correctness Of his
calculations regarding the cost of
his great undertaking. His COM
pany has already spcnt large sums
of money, but has as yet accom-
plished nothing that can warrant a
speedy completion of his enterprise.
By consequence the attention of the
merchants and the capitalists of
this country has been seriously at
tracted to the great Isthmian enter
prise proposed by Capt. Eads, while
the confidence all classes feel in the
great engineer is inspired by his
hitherto successful accomplishment
of every undertaking be has as yet
attempted
For the lest few months the jour-
mails of the entire country have cons
mcnted upon the proposed ship
railroad over the Isthmus Of Te-
hauntepec, while the majority of
their readers are acquainted with
the captains plans and bave been
Informed of nearly all that can be
said of the vast enterprise. Yet
there are scme facts connected with
it that will bear recapitulation, and
of which there is no fear of the
public firing. The proposed route
Of the ship railway over the Mexi
can lsthmus is, in round numbers,
about $50 miles long, and will lead
In a direction nearly north and
south, or from the Pacific side north
to the gulf coast. As there are two
rivers running along the route,
Capt. Eads will utilize them for
some fifty miles, thus the actual
length of the ship railway will not
be much more than 100 miles On
the Pacific side the water is suffici.

LIE Dues Tea Experiment.

One of the first official acts of DR..
Loring, the new Com missioner OF
Agriculture, was to inquire into the
farm which his predecessor, LIE Due,
had established near Charleston, S.
G.. The new Commissioners, like
most people, had very poor idea
of LIE Dues operations in tea For
this reason he sent special agent
to the tea farm to inquire about it,
and report upon the practicabiity
and the feasibility of its continu
ance. The report of the agent has
just been made, and upon it DR..
Loring has ordered that the lease
of the farm be discontinued except
a very small portion, which, under
the present superintendent, will be
devoted to such purpose as may be
hereafter determined on. The
agent reports that the farm was an
anomaly; that the soil was unified
for the cultivation of tea, and that
there had been no results in any
way warranted the outly of money
made by LIE Due. He said that to
continue its existance would not
only be futile but ludicrous. DR..
Loring, therefore, ordered its dis
continuance, and if he makes any
experiments with tea cultivation at
all, it will be in some location and
upon soil more suitable, very pos
sibly in Forida.-SpirH Of Kansas.

People are Beginning 10 See.
AT last it seems that the farmers,
the real producers of wealth, are
coming to realization of their de-
plorable condition. Itseems that the
demonstration of unlimited and des-
potic power as manifested by the
giant corporations of our country,
has broken the lethargic spell of
inactivity of the people, who now,
with we'll grouded alarm, compre-
hend the imminence of the danger.
The cry of the old party leaders that
they are striving to stay the aggreS-
sions of corporate power; that they
will bring about all necessary re-
forms; and that they will labor for
the whole people, has at last come
to be regarded as a meaningless
promise, made with the prime OBJ
ject of heaping still greater oppres-
sion on the masses. Let the people
once be thoroughly aroused and the
cause of reform, of right and justice,
like an irresistible torrent, will
sweep rapidly forward, carrying all
distractions before it until cur
country is purified and the yoke of
oppression has been lifted from the
necks of the toiling millions who
have been groaning under the op-
pressions of a class in whose inter
ests all the legislation of our coun-
try has been directed for the past
fifteen years. Toicc of tire People

The results of WORTHY Master

The results of Worthy Master
Dirden's campaign will be of i'm
mense and immediate benefit and
advantage to the farmers of Missis-
sippi. They may be expressed in
few works: The Grange will be
thoroughly revived and reorganized
in almost every county in the State,
and they will be infinitely stronger
and more efficient than ever before;
cooperation in business affairs will
make rapid progress; the objection
features of the lien law will be re-
pealed by the next Legislature, and
better class of men will be sent to
that body; farmers will become more
watchful of their interests in politi-
cal and business affairs, and adopt
better and more intelligent system
in the management of their farms.
With such great results to follow
the manly efforts of this able and
fearless champion of their cause,
will not the farmers of Mississippi
rally as one man to his support?
The most useful man in Mississippi
to-day, the best and truest friend of
the farmers, is Putnam Darden, the
Master of the Mississippi State
Grange.

The members of the Grange
throughout the Cotton States will
find that to maintain their organiza-
ton and keep up its efficiency will
require earnest, persistent work and
the most active vigilance. 1t is USE
less to attempt to propitiate any
other class, though it is by no means
necessary to attempt an aggressive
warfare against any, for there is
scarcely class that does not antag-
on:ze the Grange in one or more of
its important features.
The Cotton Planters Association,
recently organized in this State, will
prove the most dangerous adversary
of the Grange that has yet appear
ed. That Association makes no
aggressive war upon the Grange,
indeed its leaders some times profess
friendship for our Order, but the
natural and inevitable effect of that
Association will be to divide and
distract the farmers. 1t is nothing
more nor less than the old Agricul
tural Society-system that once pre-
vailed in this country, but greatly
improved and strengthened for
practical organized action. The
old and new organizations are alike
in one important feature, and that
is sufficient to prevent any farmer
we don't allude to planters-joining
the latter: the town classes con-
trolled the old and they control the
new. The professional men in the
towns and cities are the leading
spirits in the Planters Association
and when farmers join it they sim
ply surrender themselves to their
old task-masters and accept sub.
ordinate position, for the least in
telligent well know that when law
yers, merchants, politicians, etc., &C
into an organization, they do SO te
shape and control its destinies.
We by no means oppose tht
Planters Association. Any class
have the right to combine in sucf
organizations as they may deem
best to promote their interests
What we aim to do, is to impress
upon farmers-no: cotton planter
that this new organization, con
trolled as it is and will be by classe
that are not in sympathy with th'
principles and purposes OF tn
Grange, is full of danger to then
and their own organization, and tn
farmer who enlists under its banne
is practically an opponent of tn
Grange.

A Trap for Sheep-kiIIing Dogs,

The Lynchburg Viefnfan de
scribes an ingenious trap devised
by Virginia farmer to capture
sheep-killing dogs. Having suffer
ed severely from the depredations
of dogs upon his sheep-fold, he built
around number of sheep that dogs
had killed an inclosure of rails II
feet high and about ten feet square
at the ground, the sides of the trap
sloping inward until an opening
was left about five feet square. Any
dog could easily climb such slo-
ping fence and enter the pen, but
not even a greyhound could jump
out of it. In three nights the farm
er captured forty-six dogs, including
fifteen or twenty that had never
been seen before in that neighbor-
hood. This, after there had been a
public slaughter Of all dogs sus-
pected of sheep-killing, save one,
whose master could not be con-
vinced of his guilt. The trap was
built for his especial benefit, and it
caught him the first night.

Bro. T. M. Kenna, of Pike coun-
ty, Miss, writes thus of the Grange
in the South: "You may say to the
Patrons of the North that the
Grange is booming down here
among the rebels that they enter
heartily into its principles, and en-
dorse every word of its 'Declara
ton of Purposes that they are
learning to know no North, no
East, no West; and arc burying
sectionalism SO deep that all the
bloody shirt politicians in the
country will never be able to grab
BILE it up. Yes, 'sectionalism is
dead and buried with the past and
brotherly love has taken its place

Calhoun Count
Worthy Master Darden.

Worthy Master Darden's meet
ings in Monroe county on the 9Th,
9th and 10th were all well attended
both by members of the Order and
outsiders. His speech on the 9th
was decidedly the ablest that we
have heard him deliver; he seemed
in better spirits and spoke with
more than his usual force and elo-
queDce.
The principles and purposes of
the Grange were never before pre-
sented to the farmers of Mississippi
so clearly and forclbly, and those
who attend Worthy Master OAR
denis appointments cannot fail to
unders and them and to appreciate
the imperative necessity that exists
tor the organization. Without tir
ing his hearers by dwelling too
much upon details, he discusses the
great questions involved in the
moVement--co. operation, transpor-
tatlon, the expressions resulting
from bad laws, the necessity and the
power of organizat'o l, etc-fully
irom the farmers standpoint, and
his arguments carry conviction with
item. No intelligent, unselfish far
mer, who takes a proper interest
III the present and future well
fare of his family, can hear this no.
ole and fearless champion of his class
without being aroused to the impor-
lance and necessity of a compact
organization for the protection and
upoullding of his interests, and for
the promotion of the general welfare
OF the producing classes.
Ills so unusual for a farmer to
appear before the people as

interests OF his class, to present
