Mi n at, itnnocrat: For the past eight or ten rears 1 have heard a greet deal said about the grange in Linn county, still I bad al most conclude 1 that all tbey did was to Met tad enjoy -Oiamselye A short tints ago f received s special invitation to attend a public installation of the officers of Sbedd's grange, on Hsturdsy, tbe 10th of this month. The roads be ing rough and tbe morning being very cold, 1 did not expect to see msny there, but, to my surprise, I found tbe Ms sen tc hell crowded. 1 notiosd parties theie from almost every part of the county. Among these were Mr. and sirs. Brsdweil, Mr. Parker, Mat Hcott, three of tbe Hwang's, Ee and IS. K ester, A. IS. Morris snd wife, H. W. Cooper snd son, all from Band Ridge. Mr. and Mrs. Luper, Mr. snd Mrs. Knighton, of Tsngenf. Thoroes Krotnsn, of AJb. ny, snd many others from different parts of tbe county including Hon. A. W. Uunsrd and lady, Horn. H. Kbsltoo snd exaBherifr R. A. Irrine. About 1180 a. m, Mr. Htanard called the grange to order, inviting the officer elect to be seated on tbe left. He then notified the cfficei a thst R. A. Irvine was to Lnetsll them. (I began to get snxioua to see tbs wrformanoe.) Irvine, assisted by Mr. Fioman and Mrs. A. B. Morris; proceeded to install tbe offi cers. This was dene in about twenty- w 1 five minutes with great credit to them selves snd tbe grange. J. B. Cornett as installed ss Master. After the in stallation, we were invited to tbe room below to partake of the supply of cakes, chickens, pies etc. The sociability snd scquainUncee formed there mere than paid for tbe time apent. After dinner we were invited to the room shove, when Mr. Cornett called tbe house to order and read the following program : A. U. Morris, Thorn aa Ftomsn, John ."per, Moaee Psrker, Mat Scott, Her- vey 8 bel ton and R. A. It vine. Mr. Morris was Ualled for end talked about fifteen minutes. Us said s great man) good and true thing. Thomas Fromsn talked shout ten minutes, lis showed Nearly to my mind, that it was nece- aary for the farmers to ououerat togalb er for their own protection Mr. ltiper gave them to understand that Tangt-ut grange was in s prosperoua condition. Mr Psrker, not having much to say, etd bat he would give awsy fir others. Mst Scott talked about ten minutes, sllhough Isboring uodsr a a sere cold. Hon. liar vev Sbeltou wss next cslled lor. lie referred to tbe social features. tbe moral influences snd the great ben efit for tbe young people. Uie argu ment was with great force, and from the attention, I em satisfied that it left a good i ss press ion. R. A. Irvine's speech asted just one hour. He gave ns to understand thst we had been invited by our friends to attend that meeting, and that we were more than welcome. He then proceeded to ahow tbs workings of the Linn County Council, for tbe last five years. He convlneod me thst tbe grange is not only benefited by the work of tbe council, but slso every farmer in be county. He also convinced me thst tbe grange has been badly misrep resented by parties who know nothing about it. He spoke of tbe great influ ence the grange had on the young peo ple, also f tbe mstetisl of which the grange is composed ; bow the grange wss increasing in this country ; thst it was much better for the young people to join the grange and have tbe influ ence of the old substantial farmers. Tbe best of sttsntion was given Mr. Irvine. He is well posted in the grange mat ters, snd manifests great interest. I will sdvise every fsrmer to join the grange at once. A Farmrr. NO I'BOOs RICQI IKI.O Branch Covington was tried yes terday and acquitted of having slandered A. C. Cnapin, a prominent Austin lawyer. Chapin enjoys the reputation of being tricky, hence the jury did not hesitate to acquit Cov ington, who had merely stated that lawyer Chapin was a scoundrel. Quite an amusing Incident occurred during the trial. One of the witnesses, who was being cross-examined by Chapin, himself, was asked If he heard Covington say that he, lawyer Cbapln, was a scoundrel. "I did hear him say tea crowd of ten or fifteen persons that you were a scoundrel, and he offered to prove it." "What did yeu say T" "I said, and all the rest of us said, that he need not prove it, as we all knew he was telling the truth when ho said you were a scoundrel."- Siftings.

(Kress ear Regular Oorrpnpolnt. Washinutox, Feb. 3, 1883. In (Joogresf. tbs week has been con sumed in monotonous debate on the tariff bill. Both the House and tbe Ssnste bare separate bills under con aideration. Tbe House is getting slong very slowly with ita tariff bill, but tbe Senate is taking its measure in heroic doses, having sat up with it for nearly a week until midnight. It See ma almost impossible thst sny thing can be accomplished in tbs few remaining days of the session, tbe work is so gtest, ee intncaU.and so important ; it is fraught with sock grsst political industrial, and commercial possibilities thst Congress oan hardly be blamed for hesitation snd timidity. Tbe stimulant of protection bss been given until it hss become s necessity, and to deprive our economical system of it now will produce tempor ary debility snd may bi ing on delirium. Tbe probsbilty tbst no substantial changes will be made in tariff schedule has given rise to increased speculation as to tbe probability of an extra session. Democrats seem to think that there will be no extra session, but it is believed in some qusrters thst a esl'ed session im mediately sfter the fourth of March is by no mesne improbable. Tbe bill recently presented by Mr. Blancbard, of Ixroislana, to change tbe time of the assembling of Congress bss received more favorable comment, per haps, than any bill hss been recently presented, and everyone is asking : "why wss not this msde s Uw long a a m a a ago. According to the present ar rangement a Congress does not come into power until thirteen months after its election. This is ample time to en able professions snd platforms to be forgotten, snd for the Congress elected thirteen months previously to become a political anachronism. The country now bss ooly the illusive remedy of choosing s nsw Congress, which like wise grows stale before it can legislate. Thus it ban gone on for session sfter anon, no Congress performing the be hest, of its lime because it had been chosen, ss it were, for s previous sge, snd so long before its dsy of actios that its energy bad become devitalised, iu vows forgotten. Mr. Blanchard's trill enacts that the first session of Con grass shall assemble os the 5th of March, immediately after the adjourn ment of tbe previous Congress, snd again on the 1st of January. By this arrangement the first session of each Congress would continue from tbe 4th of March until about the middle of J one or perhaps longer, and the second ndon would begin with tbe begin ning of the new year. This would do away with ths holiday adjournment snd, it is agreed on all hands, would facilitate legialation in msny wsys, but, chiefly, in thst the new Congress, com ing in on the 4th of March, would be enabled to take up legislative work where it kad been left off, and the ne cessity of deiog the same work over snd over again in Committee would be avoided. Thia ia the week previous to Ixsnt, and society in preparation for tbe sea son of abstinence, reflection, and pious resolutions, is disbolicsly gy ItaaqMets, bells, receptions, soirees danaaote, and beds masque sucieed one another, or rather overlap one another iu a confus ing tangle, and one wonders at the stamina of the American woman who not unfiequeatly makes s dozen calls in the afternoon, goes to the theatre in tbe evening, and is seen in tho tnaxse of the Germsn from miduiarbt uutil two the following morning. But it must be confessed, she shows tbe effect of this torture in a faded sallow face, early wrinkles, snd s peculiar dejection of gsit and style for which the English have coined tbe word "Americanitis. " "Americanitis" is epidemic here ; it spares neither sge nor sex, and can be cured only by the substitution of fresh air and rest for carbonic acid gas and revelry. If Herbert Spencer hsd de livered bis famous warning against "overwork'' from a Washington stand point, he would most likely have said thst the menacing danger wan uot ever work, but over-play. Lent, elsewhere is a period of rest, is so onlv in nsme here. Church fairs and entertainments for alleged charit able purposes tske the piece of banquets and balls. The dramatis peraonse snd the play aad the passion are the ssme, the stage properties and scenery alone are changed. "durability is better than shew." Durability of health is worth more than the wealth of a Yanderbilt Kid ney-Wort is man's co-laborer in main taining health. With healthy liver, bowels snd kidneys, men and women will always be in good health. If the bowels are torpid, if piles torment, if the back is full of pain, get a package of Kidaey-Wort and be cured without more suffering. For supplying London with water there are now 8 28 J miles of pine constantly charged. CHESS COLUII.

Ws have been asked to prepare and print a Uble showing how the electoral votes of the several States would be divided between tbe two parties if tbe States should go in 1884 aathey have gone this fall. With pleasure, for wbst it is worth. It is well enough to recall the fact thst sn enumeration of th. sort, published by The njut after the elections of 1878, indicated s Kepublican majority of (I in the electoral vote of 1880, and that the actus! result varied little from this estimate, Garfield's majority in tbe Electoral Colleges being 59. In the following tab'e we have guid ed for the most per by the vote cast this fall for State officers wherever State tickets were run, and iu other cases by the vote on Congressmen. There sre s fsw exceptions to this rule. New Jer sey elected a Democratic Legislature, but a majority of Republican Congress men ; we have put New Jersey on tbs Democratic side. But we have given to the Republican Colorado and Kan sas, although a Democratic Governor was elected in each, and Virgina, which is of uncertain political value on sc count of Mshone. It will be observed thst the new sp portionment of Representatives hss carried the total electoral vote from 3G9 to 401, and tbe majority needed fer .u election from the historic 185 to 2 J I OssaiiereUii Becturts: Votes Republican Eleetxrial VOe Alaaassa M .... lO.UosoraSo s Arkansas ' Illinois W California 8 lowe................ is t ..niu-ctiiui. ............ ..

Ia order that they niv not T W become unduly excited over tho pros pect which the figures bold out. it is w - proper to remind them that the nex President of the Uaited Sttte will not be eleeted until 1884. This reminder is not unnecessary. Some of onr esteemed contemporaries seem to be laboring uuder tbe impres sion that a Democratic President was elected last week. Tbey differ in opin ion only as to who was elected. S. Y. Sun. "All through advertising," remarked ex-Mayor Gregory, to us ss he went homeward with a bottle of St. Jacobs OH, "that I bought this.

It is selling very rapidly. FLAW Till rial SwSieeSa. BY A rLAlX CHAP. THE PUI1LIC TASTE. "Deary se, what are we coming to," said Mis. Jones, tbe other day, throw ing down a paper which she hsd been reading, "there's tbst big fisted Sullivan can draw ten thousand to see htm pound s fellow being around tbe ring, while tbe great Prof. Wiseman has to lecture to empty benches,' and she heaved a rolling sigh ss she remembered tbe time when people went to bear the educated tell of tbe iutellectusl sffsirs of the orld. Thst remark bss set us to thinking too. Awhile ego we reavd the tbe sc eouut of the sparring match in Kailech's church, in Sen Francisco, between llsee snd Blade, snd it msde us wonder what the world was eeming to if they had got to tbe pass when they open front doersgto churches for brutal displays of bull-dog strength snd physical skill. Tbey would not stsnd such proceedings everywhere. Suppose, fur instance, we should propose a dog tight next Monday night in tbe Presbjterisn cbureb, er a boxing match in the Congregations 1 cborch, er a "purring" exfcibttien in the U. P. church, we would soon very justly find ourselves "elevated" into the near est gutter ; but, at the ssme time, if such things were to occur even here, we'd wager onr best eoat there would be full bouses. wslking mstch wt'l fill tbe largest paviiien for the sake of seeing several men walk gauntly, breathlessly, ss if worn out, around a sawdnst ring ; eve rybody watches to see a Ian tic of a man starve himself by going without eating ; in New York a sporting gentle man has been endeavoring to eat two quails s dsy for thirty days, and tbe way be sasnds it is telegraphed sll over the U. 8., snd gaping multitudes stare at hi mat 4 o'clock each day wnen he taken his meal. No wonder the Mrs, Jones every where sigh when tbey think of sll this. It simply exhibits the fact that the human race is becoming wrapped up in tbs sensational, or anything thst will produce excitement. It is tbe spirit which causes intoxication, gambling, and faat living generally ; tbe earth dosn't turn around fast enough for most men. We have been looking for some nervous yankee to invent some thing which will make this uncertain globe revolve with greater speed. Or even if sometbtng could be obtained which would make the blood circulate more rapidly without wearing tbe sys tem out, a step in this direction could be obtained, snd with our blood at fe ver heat at ail times, matters would move slong with more sctivity, murders would become more frequent, lynching would be the rule, divorces would Lelp disturb society, knock-downs would take tbe plaee of hand shaking, mobs would meet on every corner, and things generally would be lively.
