NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. THE INDEPENDENT. WASHINGTON COUNTY, At 1 o ’clock the members met in the hall of the Junction Grange, where they put on their regalia, formed in procession and marched to tho church, headed by a band of music, and a flag of the Great P la­ ne Grange. The flag had at the head of it the words, “ The Patrons of Husbandly.” Underneath were the are, plow and harrow— the em- b’ ems of industry. On the left fi.uge Cue apple and grape trees, laden with fruit, were conspicuous as was the bundle of ripe wheat on the right f.in gc— the symbols of the rewards of industry. The well- balanced scales, representing justice, was a prominent feature in the cen­ ter, as was u full-blown rose at the bottom tlie flag— indicating that the farmer's home was to be orna­ mented and made attractive. rJ he flag was well-designed, beaulifullv executed, and much admired. "When the members wore sealed, the baud played an appropriate air. Mr. F. W. Folsom, the Master of Junction Grange, called the meeting to order in a few appropriate remarks. The choir, led by the Messrs. Gilbert, and 3Iiss 31 ary Test-on the harmon­ ium, sang in good style, “ W e envy not the princely man.” Judge H. N. Hill read the opening prayer. The band played a second piece of music, all of which gave a bright and cheer­ ful tone to tho meeting. THE OR.VTON. Bathing. Bathing is mot only an act of clean­ liness, but is in an eminent degree conduc ve to health. The fine and sensitive pores of the skin soon be­ come torpid, and their delicate and most important functions are sus­ pended by the solid materials in the prespbation and the accumulation of filth, and require very frequont ablu­ tion with water, to preserve the nor­ mal condition, without which no person can be healthy, happy or com­ fortable. The mere wea ing of p oper cloth ng and washing of the move exposed portions of the body, and the frequent changing of cloth­ ing, is but an imperfect attempt at cleanliness, without being accom­ panied by entire submersion of the body in water, either tepid or cold. It must be admitted bv every seusi- ble person, that there is no more real appreciative luxury than a pleas­ ant general bath when the system is in a proper condition to receive such a bath; it is, in fact, one of the most valuable but most neglected hygienic remedies we poses«. We admit that many people are susceptible of taking cold, and are, so to speak, “ living barometers;” but even to such the warm bath would always prove advantageous. One-half or more of the rheumatic twinges, swollen limbs, and cramped joints that occur in such persons, would yield to proper perseverance and confidence in this potent alleviator. For ordi­ nary purposes, care must lie taken that a warm bath is not used at too high a temperature at first. As a general rule, we would advise, more especially in cases where some chrome diseases is firmly located, using the warm bath for a few days, first fol­ lowed by the tepid bath, then the cold. In all coses, whether the warm, tepid or cool bnlh is used, the first shoul be of only a few min­ utes duration, which soon may be increased to ten of fifteen minutes at a time, care being taken never to remain immersed sufficiently long to induce a sensation of cold on com­ ing out. A healthy reaction should follow the bath, and a pleasant glow of warmth should diffuse itself over the surface of the body. If this be not the ease, the bath has been in­ dulged in too long, or injudiciously taken. When any symptom a]»pears that contra-indicates the use of the cold bath, the tepid, warm, or vapor bath may be substituted, according to circumstances. At any rate keep the skin freo and active by some kind of bathing, the frequency of which must depend upon all the surrounding conditions and habits of each life. — Manufacturer and Ru Uder. The leading event, of the day was the oration by the Hon. J. H. Smith, of Harrisburg. The President in­ troduced 3Ir. Smith in a few appro­ priate and complimentary remarks. 3fr. Smith’s address was short, eom- piehensive, witty, argumentative and telling,and was received with marked approbation by the meeting. He spoke of the fanners, artisans and mechanics as the great producing classes; but heretofore as the worst rewarded for the labor, owing to the well-organized “ rings,” combinations of captialists, middle-men, and ware­ Do not run in debt to a shoemaker. housemen.

Tweed, Jr., stood in the warden*« office, with a look o f melancholy dejection on his face, A half-dozen reporters were standing about the great stove, looking speculatively at the door. Presently it opened, and the keeper McDonald, bounced in and crying out to a convict employed around the office, «aid, rather exci­ tedly. “ Say, Bill hand me a lar­ ceny jacket.” “ B ill” jumped briskly to his feet, and from a shelf on the left of the office pulled down the required article. Young Tweed appeared not to notice this little in­ cident, though he must have known, as everyone else present did, that that “ larceny jacket” was intended for liis father. On the way back from the Island the party that ac­ companied the once mighty Tweed to the last scene of his degradation spoke not a word, but mused as the steamer steamed down the river, on the liarndess of the ways o f trans­ gressors. How a Woman Buys Ticket. a Railroad Fanny Fern enumerated a lot of things which she said no woman could do; but she forgot sev­ eral items, and among other things she forgot to mention that the woman has never been found yet who can buy a railroad ticket and get herself safely on l>oard a train without raising a general com­ motion and bothering everybody else around the place, and then she always looks as though she thought she ought to have a present of % new silk dress for getting on the car at all. There was one of this kind of women went over to Newark the other day. She got down to the ferry alxmt five minutes before the boat started, and o f course she didn’t have any ticket, so she step­ ped up to the office to buy one. First she asked the clerk what time the next train left for Newark.'* “ Six o ’clock, madam.” “ What time is it now ? ’* In reply the clerk pointed to the clock, winch occupied a conspicuous position. “ Oh, yes, I forgot.” And then she took out her watch and found that she was just about a minute and three-quarters slow. Of course she didn’t alter the watch — she never intended to— but it was a satisfaction to know just how it was. By this time there were two or three more women and a half a dozen men behind her waiting for a chance to buy their tickets; bot( bless y o u ! that woman paid no more attention to them than she did to the presence of the equinoxes. F i- n.ally she remembered she wanted a ticket, so she felt for her pocket- book and couldn’t find it, until she happened to think that it was in her reticule, which was harnessed to her waist, and so she got hold of that and wriggled and twisted until she got it in front of her and managed to find the pocket-book. Of course it had money iu every compartment, and the mouey was all waded and twisted up so the book was ready to burst. First she unrolled a lot o f large bills and rolled them up better; then she looked at some ones and twos, but concluded she wouldn't have a bill changed, so she rumaged around and found a lot of postal currency, but it wouldn’t pay to havo the clerk make change for her, so she hunted until she found a fifteen- cent stamp, then she got out a two- cent piece and then chased a three- eent piece all around that pocket- b»x>k, and when she captured it she laiddown the twenty cents and looked at the ticket-man as though she ex­ pected to hear him thank her for saving him all the trouble of mak­ ing change, but he didn't say any­ thing of the kind and didn’t even look much as though he meant to. Of course any body would think, when she h td lxmght her ticket, this female might have got out of the way, but she wasn’t quite ready yet. She had to look at the ticket and put it bark in her portmomye, and put that in her haversack, and wriggle that back where it belonged, and then when she got in tho narrow passage way leading to the l«»at, she had to stop aud go through the whole performance again before she could tear off the coupon to give to the taker.
