The four conquerors most conspic­
uous in the world’s history, are Alex*
ander, • Hannibal, Ceesar, and Bona­
parte. What was their end ?
Alexander, after climbing the dizzy
heights of his ambition, his temples
bound with chaplets dipped in the
blood of millions, looked down upon a
conquered world and wept there was
no other world for him to conquer, set
a city on fire, and died in a scene of
drunken revelry and debauch.
’Hannibal, after having, to the as­
tonishment and consternation of Rome,
passed the Alps, and having put all
her armies to flight, stripped “three
bushels of gold rings from the fingers
of her slaughtered knights,” and made
her very foundations quake, fled from
his own country, tyated by those who
once exultingly united his name with
that of their god, calling him Hani-
Baal, and died at last, by poison ad­
ministered by his own hand, unwept
and unhonored in a foreign land.
Cresar, after conquering eight hun­
dred cities, dyeing his garments in the
blood of millions of his foes, and pur­
suing to death the only rival he ever
had on earth, was miserably assassi­
nated by those whom he considered his
nearest friends, and in the very placo
which it had been his greatest ambi­
tion to reach.
Bonaparte, whose mandates kings
and popes for a time obeyed, after
spreading everywhere the terror of his
name, after deluging Europe with
blond, and clothing its nations in sack­
cloth, closed his days in banishment on
a lonely island, almost literally exiled
from the world.
What comments on the evanescence
of human greatness, especially the
greatness won by the sword ! These
men all stood for a time on the very
pinnacle of what the world calls great­
ness, and each in turn made the earth
tremble by their tread or their bare
w’ord ; yet they severally died a mis­
erable death—one by intoxication, or
by poison mingled with his wine ; an­
other by his own hand, a suicide ; a
third murdered by his friends, and the
last a lonely exile ?
O n the last day of the session of the
National Grange at Charleston, »S. C.,
the following resolution was adopted
by that body :
W hereas , It is proposed that the
next session of the National Grange
shall be held in San Francisco, pro­
vided the expenses of said session to
the National Grange shall not exceed
the expense of the seventh annual ses-
ion at St. Louis, in proportion to the
membership.
Resolved, That the executive com­
mittee and our worthy Brother Ham­
ilton be directed to make suitabble ar­
rangements to effect the above pur­
pose to the end that the grand chain of
fraternal love commenced on the At­
lantic, in the beautiful “City, by the
Sea,” shall be eternally welded and
perfected at the “City of the Golden
Gate,” on the Pacific shore, next No­
vember. Provided that, in thp judg­
ment of our executive committee, the
meeting at San Francisco shall not be
injurious to the interests of the order.
J acksonville F l axed O ut .—In '
early days there was a rivalry in every­
thing between the town of Yreka, Cal­
ifornia, and Jacksonville, Oregon.
Each town claimed to have richer
mines, finer buildings, more wealth,
faster horses and a meaner man than
the other. It was finally agreed that
each toyvn should pick out its meanest „
man, and he should be taken by a del­
egation from his town, and should
meet at the half-way house and swop.
Jacksonville picked her man, whose
occupation we have forgotten ; Yreka
selected her meanest man, the keeper
of a book and variety store, and on the
day previously agreed on the delega­
tions, each with its mean man, started
to the place of meeting—the half-way
house.
When near the place the Jackson­
ville men sent a spy ahead to see
whom the Yreka men were bringing.
He saw the book and variety man and
returned, meeting the Jacksonville
delegation a mile or two this side of
the place for the exchange to take
place. A hurried consultation took
place and the Jacksonville fellows
hacked square out, and taking their
champion, fled back home, as they
saw clearly that the Yreka men had
the best of them in the trade. And
the old story of swopping men, re­
minds us of the fact that there is a
swop pending between Walia Walla
and the Sound.— Walla Walla Union,

B y calculation it is known that the
next Presidential inauguration day,
March, 4, 1877—will fall on Sunday.
This conflict of inauguration dates
with a non-secular day has occurred
only twice before in the history of the
United States. The first was in 1821,
at the second inauguration of Presi­
dent James Monroe—he being re-elect­
ed and the second was at the inaugu­
ration day proper of Zachary Taylor,
in 1846. By special Legislative ap­
pointment, these inaugurals trans­
pired on March 5, the Monday follow­
ing the set date, as will probably be
that of 1877. Three times every cen­
tury in the revolution of years will in­
auguration fall on Sunday, about once
in a man’s lifetime.
