burdens laid down by the dictation of their brothers
in foreign lands. In order to carry out those
solves it was necessary for them to adopt banner
under which they could rally. They did adopt one
OF beautiful design, dotted and striped all over
| embematica Of the union Of hearts and Of the
union of interests. They took from the heavens,
by imitation the stars, and they adopted for the
stripes the colors Of the bow of promise" and
they called it the Stars and Stripes the flag Of their
country In those days they made that banner with
but thirteen stars upon its fair folds but to-day in
fulfllment Of the prophetic vision that they fore
| saw We place upon the azure blue more than forty
stars. Such flag was procured by a committee of
your feow-citzens on the last anniversary of the

all times and under all circumstance uphold main

Inc Master, ". ., Flint, replied to the
Mayor in the following eloquent remarks:
Mr.. Mayor: 1t is with feelings of great pride and
satisfaction that we accept at your hands this beau
tful prize, which the citizens Of Sacramento have
| generously offered, and which l believe have
fairy won. We regard it as token of the respect
and appreciation in which the members OF our Or
der and the farmers generally held by the dwell
ers OF the city. 1t is also evidence to US that the
principles and objects Of the Patrons Of Husbandry
becoming better understood, and that they are
~ ant RI Of
engaged in pursuits other than agriculture. The
principles which teach here, if properly carried
out must result in the elevation and enlightenment
OF the entire human family. All trades and profess
siOns necessary to the happiness and wellbeing
OF humanity, and the the wants and rights of
each fully understood the betteri will be for their
followers and the smoother will run the wheels of
| the great social machine.
! To obtain what We believe to be Justly due us is I
OF course one of our chief objects but this |
| pa!es when compared with the social and educa- |
tional advantages of institution, for here we |
seek to build up what in the city exists from force
| of circumstances. We endeevO. to cultivate and |
strengthen a friendly and pleasant relation among
tlllers OF the SOIL and to educate the young in the
| ways and methods of the world, that their future
paths may be travelled with ease and pleasure.
| Patriotism and the incubation of true republi-
! can form Of government prominent features Of |
our order. We claim to be loyal American citizens
as well Patrons of Husbandry, and we deem it
especially appropriate that we have been presented
with this flag the emblem OF liberty and equality,
and the 5 ,mbO Of justice and power.
We accept it with just sense of the meaning it
conveys and extreme qualification at the honor
ferred upon US. We love our country, and hold its
flag IN reverence and respect. May Its stars shine
until their companions in heaven grow dim, and its
stripes reflect back the red glow of the morning
light until the sun shall fail to rise
This flag to-day will be baptized in the breeze, and
upon every festive occasion of the Order it shall
float above us, AID out to the inhabitants of
the city around us kindly greeting from Sacra-
mento Grange
We extend to YOU sir, to the celebration commit
tee and to the citizens at large, our cordial and
hearty thanks for the beautiful present you have be-
slowed upon u.s. and hope that the pleasant relations
now existing may long continue.
Worthy Steward, you will now take this flag to its
staff the hall and throw it to the breeze, and
may it float there a memento of this occasion I'M
til the eyes which now behold it shall have lost their
luster, and these walls shall have crumbled into
dust.
J. V. Webster, Secretary of the Stale |
Grange, addressed the assemblage, briefly re-
viewing the history of the Order, which has
row been in existence sixteen years.
When the ceremony Of the presentation
was concluded the Changers invited guests |
we've led 70 the banqust hall, in the rear of

could be mentioned. and we're presided over |
by twenty-five of the lady members of the |
Grange. Over one hundred persons could be |

At II o'clock the dancers repaired to the |
spacious dining parlors of the State House, |
where sumptuous supper had been prepared |
un1er direction of Charles Eldred, the son Of |
the proprietor. The tables were beautifully |
decorated, and the diniDg-room tsstefully |
lighted with profusion of Chinese lanterns. |
Too HANDY WITH HIS PISTOL About |
half-past o'clock last evening those who re-
side in the neighborhood of Fifth and K |
streets were startled by the report of pis- |
toll Immediately afterward Mrs. Churchill |
rushed from the Gem saloon, screaming muir
der, and commenced blowing a police whistle. |
Railroad Detective VIM. Brissell, who hap
peued to be in the vicinity, rushed into the
saloon and found Robert Williams standing !
in the canter of the room with pistol in his |
hand. No one else was in the saloon, the |
proprietor. Robert Churchill-whom he hsd |
taken shot st-baving escaped by the back |
door. The wouldbe murderer was placed |
under arrest, dissrmed and taken to the city |
prison. He had Householder Sharp's pis-
tol, with one cartridge exploded. 1t appears
that the men ara brothers-in.law, Mrs.
Churchill being a sister Of Williams. Broth
erly love does not appear to exist to great |
degree between the men, and when Churchill |
refused to set up the drinks, as requested |
by Williams the latter took umbrage, and |
tried to kill the former.
