Last week We took trip through the
towns Of Featherstone, Vasa, Cannon Falls,
Warsaw, Leon and Belle Greek, and were
well repaid for our trouble in what We

yield will Of course be considerable below
the yield Of last year, yet We believe from

very nearly up to the yield Of last year.

The Discussion OF RituaIfsm Opens


NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-In the Episcopal
Convention to-day, the new Canon on
Ritual, proposed last week, came up.


Rev. DIR. Fulton said the church was not
so near destruction as the public believed.
The committee had examined the matter
in all its bearings most thoroughly. They
had sat one thousand days before they
could put a word on paper. The rubrics
of the PRAYER book had their roots away
down in the early days of the church, and
no person should touch them. The Com
mittee on CanOns Of the House of Bishops,
he said, was unanimously in favor Of the
canon.


DIR. Cady said he was authorized to state
that the committee of the House of Bishops
were not in favor of it.


Rev. Or. Dekovin, of Wisconsin, then
took the floor and an hour was voted him TO
SPEAK on the subject. He said it was fact
that our church had admitted men into
holy orders, not holding the doctrines of
the church, such as for instance the doctrine
of baptismaI regeneration which he be-
lieved. Surely the time was coming, or
had come, when this church of ours would
be prepared to say what was the limit Of





had his own way he would prefer no canon
at all on the subject. He thought the
church should be above the Paul Pry sort Of
work in sending around presbyters to ferret
out in what parishes these ceremonies were
being used. Was this church prepared to
say the use Of incense was wrong when,
according to scripture, it was used in the
worship of God by patriarchs? He argued
that a man may hold in this church that
Christ's body and blood were in sacrimen-
tai union with the holy elements. BE
closed by moving as an amendment the
striking out ofthe clauses giving as exam
PIES of wrongful practices the use Of in
cense, cruciixes, genufectiOns, etc, con
fining the canon to erroneous or doubtful
doctrines


Pending his motion the convention ad-

Freemen Protesting against BayO


neted BaIlOt-BOXes.


MEMPHIS, Oct. ga mass meeting is
called to meet at the Greenlaw Opera
House tomorrow evening, to take action in
regard to the presence of national soldiers
in the city on the eve Of election, and pc.
tition the President to remove them.


Memphis Avalanche, Oct. p.


A detachment of United States infantry
is in camp on Vance street. So far as the
mere presence of these troops is concerned,
it is a welcome one. With rare exceptions,
the behavior of regular soldiers is such as
TO command universal respect. But their
presence here is understood to be in con-
nectiOn with the coming election. Why?
Our elections are notably quiet and peace
full. Massachuset does not contain a
county freer from political disturbances
than Shelby county. Any man. no matter
what his color or politics, can vote without
fear at any election precinct in which he
may reside. There is no reason for send
ing troops TO Memphis that will not apply
with equal force to Cincinnati, Boston or
Albany, n. Y.





till after the election, is designed by those
who sent them to be taken as evidence that
they are necessary TO secure a fair election.
The announcement will 90 to the country
that the presence Of soldiers is required in
Memphis to enable Republicans to vote; yet
there never was an election trouble in the
city or county, nor is there the slightest
probability of an outbreak of any kind.


These troops did not come without an
urgent request. Who made that request?
Who declared at Washington that Memphis
and Shelby county are lawless; that the
presence of troops is essential 10 the en-
forcement of the election laws? Did Hon.
Barbour Lewis make this representation?
He is the official leader of the Radical party
in West Tennessee. Without his request
or sanction it is not probable that any
such outrage would have beer committed
as that involved in sending troops here
with the view of controlling the election.
1t is understood that Judge Lewis dodges
this question. Ii cannot be successfully
dOdged.

Horrible Sequel to n salt Lake City


Funeral.


A horrible discovery was made in
Salt Lake July Sd, upon exhuming the
body of a young man named VIM. B..
LackhSrst, who was buried on the 2Sd
of June last. On the Goth of June
Lackhurst attended picnic and while
there concluded to take bath. He did
so in a running stream near by, re-
naming in the water some time. He
was in perfect health and apprehended
no i'll consequences. After his bath he
went back to the picnic grounds and
got in a swing. All at once his head
dropped, his muscles relaxed and he fell
heavily to the ground. Every effort
was made to revive him, but in vain.
The senseless young man was placed in
a carriage and taken home. After
some hesitation the physicians in at
tendance pronounced Mr.. Lackhurst
dead, and preparations were made for
his interment. The body presented a
very life-like appearance-sO much so
that his friends felt very uneasy about
going on with the funeral. The fn-
neral was indeed delayed one day, but
finally the physicians reaffirmed their
previous conclusion that he had died
of heart disease, and the body was bu-
ried. Two friends of the family seemed
haunted by the recollection of that life
like face. They whispered their fears
around till they spread throughout the
city, and permission was obtained to
exhume the body. Upon lifting the
coffin and removing the lid a asickening
sight was met. The body was turned
over on its side. The skin and great
pieces of flesh had been torn from the
face, the hair pulled ont IN patches, the
grave clothes and coffin lining torn in
sbreds and the finger nails worn down
tokthe quick by the efforts of the man
to burst the, cerements of his grave.
The sight was the most terrible evel
witnessed, and the stoutest-hearted Of
the party nearly tainted.


An investigation has been demanded
to seeif there is no way of fixing the
responsibility for this awful blunder.

AT o recent meeting of tho State
Grange of Missouri, the following res
olutions were reported by the commit
the and adopted.


l. That we fully endorse and approve
the declaration of principles adopted at
tee late meeting of the National Grange
at st. Louis.


2. That as cultivators of the soil we
have been too long governed and con-
trolled by the great moneyed power of
the land, and by rings which are against
us simply because we have been ignor-
ant of our own strength in our defense,
or have wasted it wrangling with each
other.


3. That as retrenchment and reform
is our motto, as true patrons we should
begin at home, and while we demand,
as we have right to, that our legisla-
tors and rulers shall be economical in
the expenditure of public money, let us
not be prodigal in expenditure of our
private means while we condemn ex-
travagance of public officials and COM
plain of wrongs inflicted upon us by
those whom we have entrusted with
power, let us not still further wrong
ourselves and families by living above
our income and involving ourselves in
debt, thus sacrificing peace, comfort and
independence at the SHRINE of fashion
and show.


4. That we invite the hearty support
and cooperation OF the sisters of our
5ofh and offhe diyinely sancsss..o s.org 5ney6f help
meet to man, therefore her place is by
his side. Hers is a high and noble
position, and if rightly improved, will
rear to her memory monuments more
durable than marble, and leave an in
heritance to those that will come after
her more to be priced than wealth or
honor.


5. That in republican government all
power is vested in the hands of the peo-
pie, and in ours a majority of people
belong to the producing classes yet
the power and strength of these classes
have been used by less numerous and
INSCRIPTIONS class for the advancement
|of their own selfish purposes.


6. That although ours is not n politi-
cal organization, and especially ignores
political or partisan questions, yet we.
call upon our representatives in con-
gress and state legislatures to listen to
the appeal of more than one hundred
thousand patrons of Missouri, to econo-
mize the resources of the government
and to stop currents of extravagarce
which have borne us to the very verge
of bankruptcy and ruin.
