perience in the planning and conduct of
great enterprises gives pertlnence and
weight to any proposition which he may
Law before the world. Whatever problems
of engineering, mechanics or finance may
be involved in the planning and construc-
ton of a Shi2Canal or Ship Railway
across the Isthmu., and no one will ques-
ton their multiplicity and magnitude, they
have already been met and successfully
overcome by him elsewhere on scale not
out of comparison with those of the new
undertaking. In laying before the world
plan of a ship railway, like that which we
illustrate in these pages, Capt. Eads offers
no speculative project, but the well-consld-
cred design for capable and experienced
engineer, working plan which can be
carried out with absolute certainty.
The illustration on our front page, Fig
ure /, gives a general view of one OF the
shore ends of the proposed road, with
large man-of-war just entering uron the
transisthmian journey, and section OF the
basin. which constitutes the real terminus
of the railway. To avoid extending the
track out into the harbor, this narrow 0a-
sin, 1000 feet long, is excavated inland at
right angles to the shore line OF the mar
Dor. Al the harbor endsth basin is deep
enough to place the railway thirty feet be-
low the surface icNti Oi liiC "atoi'
that point the track rises one foot In the
hundred, so as to reach the surface level at
tbe shore end of the basin. This basin,
and the corresponding one at the other END
of the Railway, will be lined with substan-
tial masonry. The outer end will be pro-
yided with a caisson gate or lock gates, SO
that the basin can be pumped dry Tor re-
pairing the track.

transitu over the Railway, also map dia-
grams showing the proposed location OF
the Railway and its maritime connexions.
Figure Z shows, in cross section, snip
resting on the cradle in deep water, ana
illustrates the manner OF supporting her,
,,hstantiallv as is done in every dry dock
Her weight rests mainly on the Keel Por
ton being sustained by the opposing bIlge
hlocks which also serve to keep her from
topping over.
The method of preventing injury to the
vessel while travelling on the Railway Is
INGENIOUS and effective. 1t consists In oriei
of cradle, made up ofseparated parts Dut
all of them containing hydraulic JACKS, on
which the ship is in fact supported. Al
the lacks communicate by pipes, SO tnat
the same hydraulic pressure IS evenly as
tributed along the bottom OF the yessei, no
matter what may be the verticai ifres uiai
tiles ofthe track. Carried on TINS hydfsuile
cradle the vessel may, in fact, be SAID to
rest mon wafer: and there appears to be
less danger of injuring the craft tnan there
would be in towage through canal

singly. By cooperation govern
ments are formed, mountains tun-
neled, forests removed and the wild
lands brought under cultivation to
make them the happy abodes of
thousands, and even millions, of
the human race.
1t is only little over hundred
years since the American republic
lived in tents along the shores of
the Atlantic and its people stigma
tized as Ignorant clamorers" and
"rebels," but by seven years of CO.
operative, painful struggles the Re
public was founded and the equality
of civil and political liberties es-
tablished for all its citizens.
By hundred years of continued
cooperative efforts the greatest
government the world has ever
known has been developed and
maintained. When so much has
been accomplished by an industrious
people in SO short period from
such small beginnings, what may
not the Patrons of Husbandry ac-
complish with like devotion for the
agricultural class with even better
instrumentalities and advantages?
Already in the short period of
twelve or fourteen years great
Order has been founded that num-
bers its adherents by the thousands;
yes, indirectly, even millions. May
we not then rightfully expect that
another decade will number in its
ranks nearly all the agricultural
clasSo of the continent?

ehen be removed by unfastening two bolts.
and the wheel under it can then be taken
on with ease, as shown in Figure d. 1t is
expected that the transit of the Isthmus
VIII be made at the rate of ten or twelve
miles an hour, and an additional hour will

and IN discharging her at the overland Jour
ney's end.
The Railway will be composed of twelve
rails, spaced four or five feet apart. The
locomotives will be FIVE times as large and
powerful as ordinary freight engines, and
the whole twelve rails will be used by the
two locomotives and their tenders. The
ship cradles are intended to be of suitable
lengths to receive all classes of vessels, and
Will have wheels about three feet apart on
each rail, making total for large steamers
OF from ten to twelve hundred wheels
The maximum pressure allowed to
wheel cupable of sustaining twenty tons
will be five tons, or considerably less than
the ordinary pressure upon the driving
wheels of large locomotive, which is usu-
ally six and half tons. The weight of the
largest merchant ship fully laden is about
o,ooo tons. The weight, distributed over

day to the descriptions and illustra-
tions of the Jetties at the mouth of
the Mississippi river and Capt.
Eads' Great Ship-Railway project.
We feel sure that every member of
the Order who receives a copy of
the paper will be interested in all
that is said about these great works,
for every intelligent farmer must
know that of all interests that of
agriculture has been and will be
most benefited by their success.
Thousands of Patrons throughout
the South have displayed their ap-
probation of the great value of the
Ship.R Railway to our agricultural
interests by signing petitions to
Congress to adopt the Ship Rail.
way bill, and many have written
to their Senators and Representa-.
tives urging them to support the
bill, while quite large number of
Oranges have adopted resolutions
to the same end. We would sup-
gest to every Patron who reads this
number of THE PATRON, whether
he resides in Ohio, Illinois, Kansas.
California, Texas or Georgia, to
write to the Representative from
his District and urge him to sup
port the Ship Railway bill. That
measure is distinctly in the interest
of agriculture, and farmers every
where should give it a timely and
effective support. This can be
done by petitioning Congress,
adopting resolutions, and writing
directly to Senators and Represen-
tatives.

Cooperation is making sr i
rapid and steady progress that it
will in a few years at farthest be
generally adopted by the farmers of
the country. 1t is so fair and satis-
factory when rightly understood
and practiced, that no intelligent
farmer who has proper regard for
his own interest and the welfare of
his family will hesitate to adopt it
when he can do so. The co-opera-
tive stores in operation under
Grange auspices in all sections Of
the country are giving complete
satisfaction.

Do the friends Of THE Patron
want a large thirty column paper?
IF they do. let them go to work for
it in earnest. With a circulation
double its present size, we can en-
large the paper TO thirty columns
and otherwise greatly improve it,
vet the price will remain at one
dollar, which makes it the cheapest
weekly paper published in the
South. We hope to receive a club
of five or ten ubscribers from every
Subordinate Grange which receives
a copy of this issue.
The patron of husbandry., 1882-05-06

We wish to retain the present
size of THE PATRON and print it
on new type. This we can do if
every Patron who receives copy
of this issue will subscribe for it.
We hope to enroll the names of
several thousand Patrons of Ohio,
Illinois, Kansas and California on
our subscription books, and we
look confidently for many clubs
from West Virginia, Kentucky and
Missouri. Every Master or Secre-
tary receiving copies of this issue
of THE PATRON is respectfully
requested to exhibit them at his
Grange meeting and solicit sub
scriptions.

The Texas Cooperative Associa-
ton is probably the most successful
Grange enterprise in the country.
The Agency at Galveston has
been most ably and satisfactorily
managed by that sterling Patron,
]. S. Rogers, and its business is
steadily increasing. Worthy Mas
ter Rose was the originator of that
organization, and its great success
is due in great degree to his zeal
and untiring energy.

GRANGE.

CoLLEY GRANGE, No. 365,
Sullivan county, Pa, has been in
good working order ever since its
organization, October II, 1874, and
has never suffered from any disease,
although a fatal disease has been
plying foul with some neighboring
Oranges. The reason for this is ap-
parent. The Grange has good IL
brary for the benefit of its members.
1t has four acres of land of nicely
arranged grounds on which its
Grange Hall stands. Last fall the
Grange built barn 3ox4o feet,
with underground stabling, where
the horses have shelter while the
members enjoy themselves within
the gates. Ali this looks as if Col
ley Grange was composed of an in
telligent, active and energetic MEM
bership which has fixed to stay.

A rumseIler, one day when bis bar room Wa

before him in vivid pictures the inevitaole re
suit of his calling. To his assertion tnat ~

Licensed to lay t e wise man lows.

And make her children's tears to flow;
Licensed,to do thy neighbor harm;
Licensed 10 kindle hate and strifej
Licensed to nerve the robbers arm;
Licensed 10 whet q murderer's kuife.
Licensed thy neighbor's purse to drain,
And rob him of his very last;
Licensed to heat his feverish brain,
Till madness crown thy work at last.
Licensed where peace and quiet dwell
To bring disease, aud want, and woe;
Licensed to make this world hell,
And fit man for a hell below.

Cooperation in thought, co-oPe-
ration in practice, CO operation IN
results, is our aim, and in union
there is strength. Our Order has
accomplished much by cooperation,
but greater results in the future are
awaiting US, if we are true to the
great principles laid down as ours,
putting away distrust, jealousy and
hatred, and cultivatiKg confidence,
faith, hope and charity.

would secure subscribers for it.
THE PATRON is one of the most
extensively circulated papers in the
South, and is interesting and valua-
BILE to earnest members of the Order
no matter in what State they may re-
side. We hope to enroll the names
of ten thousand subscribers on our
books during the present month,
and this number can be secured
with very little effort. We have
every facility for printing and
conducting frst-class Weekly
Grange journal, and have put the
price SO low that any Patron can
take it without inconvenience.

Many thousands of youn

Many thousands of young farm
ers in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and
other Northern States will read
this number of THE PATRON. To
all these we would say that the
Cotton States presents very great
attractions to industrious, ener-
getic young farmers and mechanics,
and all such who desire homes
in the Sunny South will meet with
. warm welcome from our people
of all classes, and particularly from
members of the Grange.

DR.. James Calder, Lecturer of
Pennsylvania State Grange has
been delivering a series of lectures
in the southeastern section of that
State to highly appreciative audi
ences. A local Democratic paper,
whose edition seems to have heard
Calder, has this to say, among other
things of the Lecturer and the
Grange in the State. 'sThose
who failed to be present missed
rich treat. The doctor, in an easy,
social manner, spoke of the grange
organization and of its benefit to
the farmers generally, whether
members or not. A more full expo
sition of the grange organization
could not well have been given.
1t is in no way an oath bound body,
nor is there any significance in its
secrecy, more than in that of our
families. 1t is not political party,
except in so for as to counsel all
parties to nominate good and com
petent men for office upon pain OF
united efforts for their defeat The
Order of Patrons of Husbandry
show much of efficient work that
has already been performed. Thei
means and power of doing good
are increasing from day to day. and
the real struggle of the Order is
now greater than ever before.

We win present in a few weeks


We will present in few weeks
a splendidly executed portrait of
Worthy Master Deadwyler, of the
Georgia State Grange, accompanied
by a sketch of his life. We will
also give the portraits of Wor-
thy Lecturer A. N. Edwards, of
the Texas State Grange, and of
Worthy Masters II. M. Daugh-
erty of Caldwell county, A. F.
league of Lee, and other Grange
leaders in Texas. This feature of
THE PATRON will be very inter
esting and valuable to all Patrons
who take the proper interest in the
cause and who appreciate the SER
vices of our patriotic leaders.

This number of THE PATRON
goes to thousands of members of
the Grange in Kentucky, Ohio, Illi-
nois, Missouri, Kansas and Cali
fornia, as well as to many in all the
Southern States. We request every
official receiving one or more copies
to bring the paper to the attention
of the members of his Grange, and
we would be very glad if each one

Worthy Master Leonard Rhone,
Of the Pennsylvania State Grange,
tritely says:
'Co-operation underlies the
whole structure of the Order of Pa
irons of Husbsndry. 1t has done
more in dif'using a true knowledge
of its principles among the masses
than any other organization ever
instituted. .

together jointly to accomplish that
which could not readily be done

A Pernicious Principle.
Pittsburgh Advance.

License is pernicious. Temper
ance people can have nothing to
do with it.
To license the drink traffic is to
license all the crime it produces; all
the squalid poverty it spreads in
homes; all the social and political
corruption it stirs up in society, and
all the murders resulting from its
inflamed passions.
The patron of husbandry., 1882-05-06

The best farmer is the one who
thinks as well as works, who knows
what he intends to do day, or at
least a night in advance; who be-
lieves that thought has as much to
do with successful farming as plenty
of muscle, if not more.
The patron of husbandry., 1882-05-06

We are highly gratified at the
steady increase of our circulation
in Kentucky and Missouri. In the
latter State especially THE PATRON
has many friends, and we receive
subscriptions from there almost
daily.

latod to protect and benefit the
great commonality-tho Industrial
classes of the country-if not for
their especial interest, are almost
certain to be defeated by their
skill in the lobby associated with

be perceived by every intelligent

pillars which remain to support the
superstructure of the peoples rights

A Word with You,

We discard the bombastic style Of an
nouneement so common, and seek to i'm
press people with plain, unyarnished facts,
as all our business purposes are based upon
strict regard for truth and honesty. There
is generally too much concealment about
merchandise, and, sad to say, great deal
of swindling is done under the guise OF bust
ness. We make 1t rule not to advertise
ANYTHING we do not 60, or anything we can
not exhibit. We have now in store large
and complete stock of clothing for men and
boys, manufactured by us OF the best ma
terial-clothing in every way as good as
custom made. A splendid line OF mems
and boys overcoats. Our prices are posi-
lively lower than you can buy elsewhere.
All we ask Of clothing buyers is to come
and look at our goods before purchasing,
and will soon convince the most fsstidious
as to the quality of our clothing and our
low prices. Famous New York Clothing
