The ONLY MAN ron THE FIaHr.-It
is said, and there is no reason to doubt
the report, that Grant thinks he is the
only man in the country whom the aRe-
publican" party can nominate in 1876 with
any hope Of success. He therefore con
cludes that the party win have to nominate
him, whether they like il or not, as the
only possible escape from defeat. This,
most obviously, warrants the inference
that Grants opinion Of the great mass Of
the "Republicans" is very low. That Is
to say, he fancies that the aRspublican"
party esteems success in the next Presidcn-
tial election as quite superior in importance
to every other consideration whatever,
whether Of patriotism, or honest aud wise
government, or the general welfare Of the
nation

The Indianapolis Journal gives It's
party the following sensible advice :--aIn
this situation It is the duty Of the party,
through It's Conventions and other means,
to express itself deliberately, decidedly,
and strongly against third term. This
should be done for the sake of the party,
regardless of Gen. Grants plans or par-
poses, Possibly such an expression from
every Republican State Convention that
meets may, If the courtiers allow thu mat
ter to reach his ears, convince the Presi2
dent Of the hopelessness Of such candi-
dacyj but whether il does this or not. It
will at least have the effect Of placing the
Republican party right on the record,
assure the people Of its honest purpose.
aud prepare it TO enter the next Presiden-
tial campaign untrammeled by the ghost
of this peruicious dogma II Is equally
due to Gen. Grant and to the party itself
that il should deal fairly aud honestly In
the matter; or, in other words, that It's
Conventions should take firm and decided
ground against third term


The NeW York Tribune saws THAT
this is sound and practical no impartial
person can deny. And:yet two thingsare
doubtful; first, if you can obtain from
your Republican Conventions any utter
ancs that is not full Of serviIity TO the
Administration and second, it Is very
doubtful II after all it isn't too late to do
any good.

DoS'T FRET.-There is one sin which
il seems to me is everywhere and by every
body underestimated, tolerated with undue
tolerance, and quite too much overlooked
in our valuations of character. It is the
sin of fretting, 1t is as common as air.
as universal as speech; 50 common that
unless il rises above It's usual monotone
We do not even observe it. Watch any
ordinary coming together Of people, and
see how many minutes il will be before
somebody frets-that is, makes a more or
less complaining statement Of something
or other, which, most probably, every one
in the room, or the stage, or the car, or
the street corner, as It may be, knew be-
fore, and which, most probably, nobody
can help. Why say anything about II?
II Is cold, it Is hot, il Is wet, il Is dry;
somebody has broken an appointment, IN
cooked a meal; stupidity or bad faith
somewhere has resulted in discomfort.
There are always plenty of things to fret
about. The days win always have more
or less bad weather, or weather inconye-
nient to somebody's fixed plan. An men
go astray, speaking lies and making blum
ders, as soon as they be born. Ii Is sim
ply astonishing how much annoyance and
discomfort may be found in the course Of
every days living, even at the simplest, If
one only keeps sharp eye out on that
side Of things Even Holy Writ says we
are born to trouble as sparks ay upward.
But even to the sparks flying upward, in
the blackest Of smoke, there is blue sky
above, and the less time they waste on the
road the sooner they win reach it. Fret
ting Is all time wasted on the road.

Jane Dalton was q CHEEKY, chubby little

THE POETRY OF MARRIAGE
Marriage is very matter-of-lact

and all experience shows that it is

All experience does not show any

two people of opposite sex, tempera-

need of sentiment then. There is a
necessity for a little OF that romance

language


''In the Grange We are taught the

reason in the past to believe anything
these political tricksters have said.

We do not wish to be understood

will teach US how to judge of the men
whom we will select for Office. We
mean that the farmers are educating
themselves into q brotherhood in the

practiced upon them under the COWS

by educating them up to the point,
that we will have q correct knowl-

The fall of the year is the best season to
judge of the milking qualities of COW.
Many COWS give good flow of milk for the
first few months after calving, and then
drop suddenly down to mere strippeHs. But
if a cow continues good at the pail for eight
or nine months without much diminution
in her yield, she may be considered all
right, SO far as quantity is concerned. If,
however, you are not fully satisfied from
the representations given of her in this res
peet, sure way to judge of them is to get
a broadside view of the animal, few rods
of, and if she is very small in girth imme-
diately behind her fore shoulders in com.
parison with her girth just forward the
hips, you may rest satisfied she will fill
the bill. But should this form b. wanting
you need not look further, uni. ..
seeking COW for some purpose other than
the dairy.


Nor need extra size be sought for in the
makeup of good cow unless she is wanted
for breeding oxen, when the reverse proper
tions are the proper points by which to be
governed. A COW after coming to maturity
will give milk for ten or twelve seasons, if
well cared for; and each years milk is
worth more than her carcass in beef; SO that
extra size is a small item in making up her
worth. Besides smaller COW will keep on
much less food than an overgrown one
which of itself is fair set off to the create
value of the large COW when turned int,
beef


Effeminacy is a universal characteristic
of the milk-giving races, as distinguishe
from the opposite sex, and therefore if
