to every human relation interest. and duty.
II haunted him like passion and interviewer with

forcement OF this principle. II was this which inspired
his countenance with the sanity expression that seemed


less OF earth than OF heaven and gave pathetic thrill

BosToN, October 1.-THE Grange OF

y.aized here includes many OF our lead
ing gram merchants, the constitutional
Qualification for membership being
simply an Interest in agricultural pur-
suits. II now appears that the farmers
of the west regard this new Grange
with great suspicion and Jealousy. The
officers OF the National Grange have
been beseiged with remon.trances on
the ground that the order was an or
sanizstion for the protection OF farmers,
and if merchants were allowed 10 form
Oranges it would defeat the plans AMI
interfere with the political Influences it
was desired 20 gain through the secret
working OF the order On these grounds
they demanded the recall OF the char
ter OF what they term the Grain
Spectators Grange in Bo-ton. So
urgent and numerous were these c0m-
plants and remonstranceS that the Ex-
ecutive Committee OF the National
Grange has been obliged, even 10
the absence OF special provision in
the constitution of the National Grange
covering the case, to demand recall OF
the charter ct the Boston grange.


The Boston grange having received
their demand hold that they are a
regularly established aud legally Or
gsnized body, that they are in possess
sion OF all the private work OF the
order, and they will continue their
work in diaregsrd OF this demand
The result will be that the matter will
come up for adjudication on the next
session OF the National Grange, which
will be held on the first Wednesday in
February.

We believe it prudent to repeat our
warning to business men and others
who requested Mr.. PANNELL to become
8 candidate for the House OF Delegates.
that unless active work is done and a
strenuous effort is put forth to secure
teh attendance Of our beet citizens at the
polls tomorrow, there is danger OF the
election OF q man in every way insult
ed to represent the people OF Ohio
county or give to this county that share
OF influence on legislation which is
Justly her due. There is in every COM
munity class OF voters that is easily
controlled by any demsgogue who sees
fit to circulate fslsehoods for his own
advantage. The laboriug men are
taught to believe that a certain
candidate who never did an
honest days work. is their especial
champion and friend. The same man
pretend, TO be the friend of capitalists
and property owners and points to the
fact that he has never done days
work with his hands and that he owns
property in the city as the surest prooi
that he cares nothing for the working
people. ( A professional gambler, ne
breaches morality, and a confessed ig-
norsmus, he argues that intelligence
should control the election.


Without desiring to play the role Of
the alsrm;st or to cry wolf when
there is no danger, we are compelled to
insist upon tn. putting forth OF the ut
most exertlops to secure Mr. PANNElLs
election Tomorrow. Mr.. PANNELL has
been selected without regard to party,
as the very best man to secure for Ohio
county and the city of Wheeling the
legislation that is needed. and our clti-
zeus have deepinterest in his electior.
Let no true friend OF the city be absent
from the polls tomorrow.

They'll come again to the apple tree,


Robin and all the rest
When the orchard blossoms are fair to see,
In the snow of the blossom dressed;
And the prettiest thing in the world will be
Tho building of the nest.
Weaving it well so round and trim,


following it with care,
Nothing too far away for him.


Nothing for her too fair;
Hanging it,safe on the topmost limb
Their castle in the air.
All, mother-bird you'll have weary days
When the eggs are under your breast,
And your mate will fear for willful ways
When the wee ones leave the nest;
But they'll find their wing in glad amaze,
And God will see to the rest.
SO come to the trees with all your train
When the apple blossoms blows
Through the April simmer of sun and rain
Go flying to and fro:
And sing to our hearts as we watch again
Your fairy buildings grow.

DEATH from lightning is thought to
be quite painless. Owing to the velo-
city with which the electrict current
moves, it is believed that a person
struck by lightning has no premoni
tion of the blow which he receives.
The nervous system requires certain
interval of time to become conscious
of pain. The time of an electrict dis
charge is but small fraction of this
interval hence, as a sentient apparatus,
the nervous system is destroyed before

SURGICAL OPERATION ON A HEN.-
A gentleman living in Lexington,
Mass, bought some hens of a neigh
Dor. After getting them home he no
ticed that one of them had an i'm
mense crop, which hung down nearly
to the ground, and seemed to cause
her much trouble, if not considerable
pain. Being of a kindly nature, and
always desirous of alleviating the SUI
ferings OF the afflicted, besides being
somewhat Of an amateur surgeon, it
occurred to the gentleman that he
might perhaps relieve the hen Of her
unnatural burden. He accordingly
procured sharp instrument, and
making an incision through her neck
into the crop, took out a large dish
cloth, which in some greedy moment
poor biddy had swallowed. He then,
after applying water and lard to the
wound sewed it up, aud the hen now
is apparently as we'll as ever.

How LONG SHALL WE SLEEP
The fact is, that as life becomes con-
centrated, and its pursuits more eager,
short sleep and early rising becomes
impossible. We take more sleep than
our ancestors, and we take more be-
cause we want more. Six hours sleep
will do very well for a ploughman or
brick layer, or any other man who
has no exhaustion but that produced
by manual labor, and the sooner he
takes it after his labor is over, the bet
ter. But for a man whose labor is
mental, the stress of work is on his
brain and nervous system, and for him
who is tired in the evening with day
of mental application, neither early to
bed nor early to rise is wholesome.
He needs letting down to the level of
repose. The longer the interval be-
tween the active use of the brain and
his retirement to bed, the better his
chance for sleep and refreshment. To
him an hour after midnight is probably
as good as two hours before it, and
even then his sleep will not so COM
pletely and quickly restore him as it
will his neighbor who is physically
tired. He must not only go to bed
later, but lie longer. His best sleep
probably lies in the early morning hours,
when all the nervous excitement has
passed away, andhe is in absolute rest.

THE OLDEST HORSE IN THE WORLD.
Twenty mine years ago last spring a
horse was brought from Vermont to
Boston for sale, being eleven or twelve
years old. Strange as it may appear,
that horse is still living; and is now
forty or forty-one years of age. He
was purchased at that time by the late
Cyrus Reed of Lexington, and is now
owned by his son John Reed, one mile
from the Lexington depot. Notwith-
standing his great age, he has been
most wonderfully preserved, and is able
to perform light work, and is often seen
on the road, working as faithfully as he
did quarter of century ago. He
was fortunate to have been born in an
age when speed was not the only requi-
site for a good horse, otherwise his
bones might long since have been ming
ling with dust; but he bids fair to live
several years longer. To stand before
this venerable old horse and ponder up
on the events he has passed through,
and to realize that he is the only sur
vivor of all the horses born in 1888,
makes us feel like paying respect to
his age, and like calling upon the So
ciety with long name to secure him
against all labor for the future-Our
Dumb animals.

Springfield Republican has this:


In dealing with railroad train moth
ing is more desirable than promptness,
especially if your business consists IN
getting on after the cars have started.
The above reflection came to us at the
depot Yesterday, and it seemed so fresh
and important that we essayed to run
up to a middle-aged man standing near
and tell him about it. Doubtless we
might have done so only just then an
engine ran up to us, and In avoiding
that we got in front of an express freight
train. and then under a baggage truck,
so becoming fully occupied with our
affairs until the middle-aged stranger
had disappeared. He was merchant
in one of the villages between here and
Worcester; yesterday he whipped one OF
his boys and sat down to his breakfast
with facial expression that must have
terrified the potatoes. ''What is the
natter" asked his wife, holding cup
of hot water handy. Nothing, he can
didly replied; you're always bothering
me with your foolish questions when
I've got to take the first train for Spring
field" In due time he arrived in this
city, got trusted for sundry groceries, and
started to take the 1l.30 train home.
He had five packages, and the way was
long, the time short, and beads of per-
spiration presently glistened on the end
of his nose like pearls on consumptive
beet. Just as he reached the Massasoit
House the train started; on he rushed
and set paper of butter on the sunny
step of the smoking car, and two more
packages on the rear platform. but drop
ped bundle and missed the next car
altogether. His lips movedrapidly, and
it is conjectured that he swore while
setting on the fourth bundle, and hop
ping along the track on one foot, with
his other knee resting precariously on
the lower step of the car. Then he let
60 and knelt down beside the track
while the last car passed him. Rising
with a look never to be forgotten by
that rear brakeman, the unhappy mer-
chant raised pound of hominy, his re-
naming package, high in air, and threw
it as if he meant it should go through
that train and off into space on the east
side of the earth. But this, too, was
a failure. The fall broke the paper and
the hominy strolled about the little hol-
lows in the railroad, while with a dread
full and untamable aspect, the dissatis-
fed man retired to swear privately in the
dim recess of the depot, pausing only
to bestow a morganatic blessing on the
clergyman who expressed pity for him.

ABOUT FREIGHT.-Two or three weeks
ago an item appeared in the JOURNAL to
the effect that freight from Redding to
Yreka was only four cents while three
cents was charged to Weaverville. Our
reason for mentioning this at the time
was that we thought the difference was
not enough considering the greater dis
tance to be travelled to Yreka. The mat
ter has since been satisfactorily explained
to us, and we give teamsters and others
interested the benefit of the explana-
ton. The freight hauled to Yreka was a
very small lot taken by farmer from
that neighborhood, who happened to be
at Redding and desired to make expenses
on the home trip, and we are assured that
no other freight has gone to that section
during the past Winter at such low
rate. The last team which left Redding
for Yreka loaded mostly at seven cents,
while freight was taken for this place at
two cents.
