New Jersey has 40 granges against HI last year. An advertisement lor a district school teacher, in New Hampshire, contains this clause: "No man need apply who wears a

shawl." The first impression of Mr. Mill's "Autrl.irtrhv " ronsistincr of 3.00 conies, was n j j . d ' ' all sold within six days of publication. A very favorable first impression. Out of a 120 nationalities in the world, there are only three queens: Victoria I., of England; Pomare, of the Society Inlands, and Ranavola II., of Madagascar. Mrs. Mary E. Norris wa carried 2 miles beyond her destination by the Orange and Alexandria railroad company. She charged them $800 for walking back, and got it. A gentleman who rather suspected that 60i e one was peeking through the keyhole of his office door, investigated with a syringe full of proper sauce, and went home to find his wife had been cutting wood, and a chip had hit her in the eye ! ' Mr. George W. Knox, of Cleveland, ha tackled a huze plank Avith a jack knife, purposing to whittle it into marvellous things, and leave them all connected. The work will be done In time for exhibition at the Philadelphia Centennial. Already the leisure of a year has been expended on it. Here is Marshal Bazaine's opinion of GamLett a: A friend said to him the other day, "You must feel much hatred for that man?" "said his interlocutor. "Hatred?" he rejoined, "Why Does anv one hate a child that tries to bite him? All that can bo done is to pull his ears. Gambetta is a great child." The Empress of Germany dresses very simple. She drives out in a calico dress. Mrs. Bismarck, though past sixty, fresh and comely as a woman of thirty, superintends her farm work, and goes about with a great bunch of keys at her girdle. Her house is tilled with miilts and such of her own handi work. The New Orleans Picayune says: "The great majority of the people of Louisiana fully and heartily indorse the proposed reassembling of the legal legislature of this state. The action is logical, true and consistent, and fully accords with the course advised by this paper. It is moreover the course made Imperative by the position assumed in Washington, and counseled by the delegates tent thither by the recent convention of the people. . Without such a constitutional assembling, Mr. Morton might plausibly claiai that the body claiming tobe the legal legislature had forfeited its constitutional title as such." Nothing can be more superb than the green of the Atlantic waves when the circumstances are favorable to the exhibition broken no color appears; but when the foam just doubles over the crest, like an Alpine snow cornice, under the cornice we often see a display of the most exquisite green. It is metallic in its brilliancy. But the foam is necessary to its production. The foam is first illuminated, and it scatters the light in all directions; the light which passes throuch the higher portion of the wavo alone reaches the eye, and gives to that portion its match less color. The folding of the wave, produc ing. as it does, a series cf logitudinai pro tuberances and furrows, which act Mise cylin drical lenses, introduces variations in the In tensity of the lieht, and materially enhances its beauty.

Refinement is not ttstidi outness. Je not luxury. It is nothtag-t-f the kind. Itie far remored Crom exceee or wae. A person truly reilafed will not Underor oeedlessly consume anythlag. Xleüieinent, oa the contrary, is always closely allied toctmplieity and a judicious nd tteful emplayment of the means of good acd happiness which it Las at comnund. It seeks to divest itself od superfluities, act aspires eomtinually to the utmost possible purity. To commence t a mate rial base, refinement leads to persooal cleanliness and elegant neatness, good taste and simplicity in dress. All ''loudBesg" or Hastiness is repug&snt to its spirit. In its home and surroundings, whetlier palatial.alliuenl. or humble, the same chastinessaod unaffected grace are maintained. The abode of genuine refinement and of the mere pretender to it are very different. If the former you will find no excess, gaudines, or false glittering, but .the latter abound with it. In personal manner refinewent is most conspicuous. A mauot refinexctnt is always polite without nourish, gentle without effeminacy, and considerate without stiffness. Display and ceremony are not identical with refinement, and are poor substitutes for it. There is, of c.1urs;, no refinement like that of the heart, which irapells its possessor to show on all occasions a thoughtful and kindly regard for the feelings of others. No adüereueo to etiquette can compare with it for insuring the fpontaneoys; obieryaace of trus aqd ratl-

fying politeness. In art, refinement is a most essential element. It is the greatest enhancement of beauty. It is a most attractive excellence in every style of composition, prose or poetical, and without it minting and sculpture lose .the most exalting attribute of their beauty. In music refinement marks the highest order of writing. THE GRANGERS. ' AX INTERVIEW WTTH THE SECKKTAtir OP TH3 NATIONAL. AO K1CULTUKAL CONGRESS THE TEN DENCY OV THE XOVEMENT ITEM OK INTEREST. The St. Louis Globe gives the result of an

interesting interview with Mr. Charles W. Green, Secretary of the National Agricultural Congress: "It is no more a farmers than a mechanics movement, and only takes its name from the largest class engaged in it. It results primarily from the aggressive combination ot capitalists the illegitimate and improper exercise of wealth power. The farmers were rapidly discovering the advantages of such association, independent of any political significance. It is easy to see how, almost impreoeptibly, the political influences have crept in at these social meet ings, until it has now undoubtedly become the leading feature. .Here was the oppressed condition under which each and all of the farmers, especially of the Northwest, were laloring. It was impossible to make both ends meet, let them pinch and save as they might. On the other hand, they saw railway kings and merchant priiw-es paraded before them, whose . . wealth was augmenting by millions yearly. Su-h things have engendered a deep-seated unrest which has been maniiested in various forms. The labor movement which nominated a Presidential candidate' for the last campaign was one of these. This was merged into the liberal movement with its candidate, Horace Greeley, always in full sympathv with the toiling classes. As this feeling has sained ground among the people, becoming a subject of general discussion, and since the monopolists have constantly treated the popular demands with an air of careless Indifference and haughty independence, it has very naturally resulted that when the farmers met Jn their clubs this has been the principal topic of conversation. Since it was not i-olititr.il in the partisan sense, the members of all parties and creeds could well pledge themselves as ainst a common foe. The party managers, seeing where this must inevitably lead, have vehemently charged that the clubs and granges were going into politics, which has generally beeu answered by the farmers m the spirit that if this is politics, they are willing to ba known as politicians, since it is a new and not unpopular species of the genusA" IS THE MOVEMENT POLITICAL? "But H you consider that the movement is really aud essentially a political one?" "Unquestionably so now. Th very denial of political intensions oa the part of the clubs and the resulting discussions, has un doubtedly exerted a strong negative influence in making it so. It has beeoma a fixed purpose of the clubs. Granges, and all sorts of societies, to reform the abusescomplained of. Fo nr-fifths of all the associations, of every character, organized during the past eizhreen nonths, have had that as the primary purpose of tbe organization. Other subjects will besecondary until this is finally disposed of." 'The Grangers say, I believe, that they do not politically, as a Grange, but that they do so individually. Is not such a course practicable?" "By making such assertions they are simply making themselves ridiculous. You may have noticed that one of the resolutions aiopted by tbe, Illinois State Grange, at Bloomlngton, made the declaration you speak of, and yet the3 sent out a dozen purelv political resolutions right In the face of it. The last Rural World, too, has an article by Master Allen, declaring positively that the Granges do not, and can not, discuss olitical questions, and on the same page is more than a half column of political Tesolutions, adopted at a recent county council of the G ranges. Such inconsistencies are only calculated to bring reproach upon the order. Either they are declaring what they know to b3 ialse, or it asumes an utter ignorance of the meaning of the term political." "I understand that the National Grange mets here next month. Do you know what subject will come under discussion?" "Oh! you know that is secret. I presume their action will only have reference to perfecting the business details ot their organization. Another subject susgested by the Indiana Farmer, an intenset ranze paper, altogether within the charmed circle, will be as to the disposition of their surplus $ö (X. As the Rural World suzgests that the choice of permanent location for the national wflices may also be determined here, the inference might bo drawn that the surplus would be expended for buildings somewhere, perhaps in St. Louis.". THE QUESTION OK SECRECY. "There is one advantage of secrecy which I had not before thought of. They can have their family quirrels to themselves, and not annoy their neighbors and the outside world with them." "Yes, and that is about theonly advantage I have ever discovered, except tint they can dispense their charity so that the left'hand may aotknow what tbe right is doing, in tbe scriptural fashion. In view of the dilliculty experienced in letting politics alone, this feature of secrecy is likely to cause them much- embarrassment, it is certainly too late to entertain the idea of a secret political party, strictly as sueü, and the political inllueneesof any secret organization must te seriously compromised by the fact of such secrecy. Again, this feature of the grange, and the ritualistic ceremonies Incident to it, occupies an v.nmense ajnount of very valuable timn. ad the more substantial business men among the farmers, who-count its value, soon tire. It w evident from all the reports we have seesu that not one-half of the granges are paying tb?r dues, a wäre indication that the interest in them- is flagging." kot Cjosing headway. "You consider, then, thiethe movement is IssingheadwayT "Not at all. The oje associations are tew gaining grotzed, and if thore was any system of record etch astheNatioaal Grange has Adopted, the extent of tiw opsa organization would su prise you. One great ad vantage for the oreii associations which the granges lose and wbicn they can ot aford to lose Is the assistance of the press in disKeuaiuatJnir their work.

The four days' proceedings of the State Orange, with its ven hundred aud fifty mera(ers, were all recorded in less than tbren columns of the daily papers, while the prtxfuedinzs ot the Decatur meeting for three days filled page after page of the Tribune and Times, multiplying the innuence exerted by them many tliousand fold. Its expressions are still being discussed, and will be for month to come, brause its ideas wer st jn motion. Really, this secrecy brfeds a selli-h-ness entirely foreign to the agricultural character, and it surprises me to so the agricultural publishers, so forgetful of their journalistic rights as to encourage a privacy of discussion whicli deprives thm of tbefr most valuable subject matter. The seeking of many of them alter tho loaves and fishes, in the form of subscriptions, is certainly liablo to subject them to tbe charge of being subsidized it way be, justly.

"CUSHING'S DEFEAT. THE, REAL DIFFICULTY. the president withdraws the nomination of caleb cushino mr. cushinq's Note to jeff. davis uneabthed a sensation AT THE CAPITAL. Washington, Jan. 14. Tbe lollowing is the message of the president, withdrawing the nomination of Caleb Cushing: Executive Mansion, Jan. 14, 1574. To the Senate of the United States; Since tbe nomination of Caleb Cushing, of Yirginia, to the chief justice of the supreme court of the United States, information has reached me which induces me to withdraw his nomination for the highest judicial office in the govetiment. U.S. Grant. The following particulars in regard to the republican caucus yesterday has been ascertained. The last forty or fifty minutes of the morning caucus were almost wholly occupied by Mr. Ssrgent in a detailed review of Mr. Cushing's public life, from the time of President Taylor down to the present day, which be severely criticised, arguing that conformation ought not to be thought of for a moment. Calls were then made for a vote, but Mr. Boutwell expressed a desire to reply, and the caucus accordingly adjourned to give him aqdother friends ol Mr. Cushing such opportunity. Between twelve and one o'clock p. m. Mr. Sargent received an ' intimation from an undisputed source that a letter damaging to Mr. Cushing had been discovered in the rebel archives, and leaving tbe senate chamber, he went at once to the war department to obtain it, if possible. He was informed by Adjutant General Townsend that an order from the secretary ot war would be necessary to authorize tbe furnishing ot the desired copy, and Mr. Sargent proceeded to the executive mansion, where Secretary Belknap was attending a meeting of tbe cabinet, and with the president at the 'time consulting the very document in question. General Belknap made Mr. Sargent's request known to the president, wbo at ones said it should be complied with, as the newly discovered letter was one which it was eminently fitted for the senate to hear and take into consideration. A certified copy having been handed to Mr. Sargent, he returned to the capital In time for the afternoon caucus. Mr. Boutwell took the floor according to agreement as soon as tbe meeting was called to order, and made a speech of some length in favor of Mr. Cushing, and was followed by other friends of Mr. Cushing, as heretofore stated. Mr. Sargent reserved the important letter with a view to allow everything to be said in support of Cush'mg's confirmation that could be sai4 by anv one present, be fore putting an end to the discussion by pro ducing the document, t many ne ootained the floor and read and commented on the letter, beintr listened to with the closest at tention. The result upon the caucus has leen already described. When the president read tbe letter of Cushing to Jell. Davis, he at once concluded to withdraw the nomination of Mr. Cushing, and caused a communication to be written to the senate for this purpose. The president, before be nominated Mr. Cushing, knew that this gentleman had taken state's rights views of the questions which agitated the country just previous to the breaking out of the late civil war, bnt when rort sumter was tired upon, Cushing made a patriotic speech, and olleredhis services In a military capacity to assist in putting down the re'ellion. Other gentlemen bad, like Cushing, declared their opinion that the government bad no right to coerce a state. W hen hostil itips resulted thev were aetivelv on the sida of the Union, but now that this letter to Jeff. Davis had come to- light, stating so broadly disunion views, tne president, not withstanding his appreciation of Cushing's legal attainments, resolved to withdraw his name, apprehensive that his opinions as expressed in tbe past might injuriously effect designs in the supreme court in the event of his confirmation as chief justice. The president called an extra cabinet meeting Jto-day, whicli continued nearly two hours, during which the subject of chief justice was considered. A short time before the president's private secretary started for the capitol, a long THE LETTER TO DAVIS. Washington, Jan. 14. The following is a copy of Caleb Cushing's letter to Jeffe'rson Davis: Washington, D. C, March 20, 1S61. Dear Sir: Mr. Archibald Rowan, for the last six or seven years clerk in the attorney general's office, desires from niQ letters of introduction to you, and he desires it, not in view of anticipating administrative lavors, but that he may have the honor of your personal acquaintance. I take pleasure in assuring you that he is eminently worthy. A southern man by birth, famity and affection, he has carefully studied and ably discussed in Mr. DeBow's review, and other southern works, tbe lamentable events which have been gradually undermining and have at length overthrown the American Union. Whilst a practical man, he is also a ripe and accomplished scholar, with a marked predominant literary taste and habits. In the discharge of his official duties he has combined in a singular degree tbe purest integrity and the mast eniighted intelligence, with modest contentment in his lot, having more than once declined offices of more conspicjous employment in the public service. He now resigns his present office from sentiments akin to those which alone he can feel to be due his country, namely, the confederate states, from one of which Texas he was appointed. I most heartily commend him, as a gentleman and a man, to your confidence and esteem, and I am, with tbe highest consideration, your obedient servant, C. CrsmNo. Hon. Jefferson Davis, president of the confederate states. OV. ANDEEW'S OPINION OK MR. CUSHING. Boston, Jan. 14. A letter from Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, dated April 27, 1801, to Caleb Cushing, declining the proffered services of that gentleman, is made public Unday. Gov. Andrew says to him:- "Your relation to public affairs, your frequently avowed opinions concerning the ideas and nentimentsof the masses, your intimacy ot social, political and sympathetic intercourse with tbe leading secessionists of the rebel states, maintained for years, and never, unless at thia moment, discontinued, forbid my finding any place lor you in the council ot j the ramp.

It is understood that the above report constitutes only a general outline of the course of education which is contemplated under the requirements ot the statute on which the institution is based. It will remain for the faculty who alone should be expected to do that work to layout the details of tbe system and organize it in practical form. It was determined to open the school under the direction of Piofessor Hougham by the first of March next by the organization of a class and the beginning of a course of instruction to be determined on by Messrs. Sutheil nd and Colfroth. A REFRACTORY MEMBER. From the first the managers of the fund and founders of the institution have had a deal of trouble with Mr. Purdue, or he has had . the trouble with them. At any rate, there has been a chronic disagreement,which has greatly embarrassed proceedings in the matter of building and organization. The gentleman for whom the school is named in the statute ot the state, gave one hundred and titty thousand dollars to secure it to Tippecanoe county. By virtue of this donation he has assumed to dictate in matters which aro only within the jurisdiction of the board, of which he is, by provision of the act, also a member. On Tuesday the usual disagreements arose, and because the board declined to accept the control of Mr. Purdue in its action, he very llatly requested the entire board to pass in their resignations and leave him to organize a new board, such as he couia control. The governor and other gentlemen did not see their way clear to comolv with the request, and in his quiet way tiovemor Hendricks gave him a fatherly talk, which Lwould have scalded a man of ordinary sus W itun:. 1 . i i a i cepiiuimv, uui wiiicu a luemuer mere re' marked passed from the honored founder of the university like water from a duck's back. He told Mr. Purdue that in the board he was entitled to just as much considera tion as anv other member so long as he con ducted himself in a gentlemanly way, and to no more. That he ithe eovernorl should carry out the law in regard to the agricul tural college in every particular with precision, and other words to the like effect The restflt was that Mr. Purdue withdrew in disgust from the session, andlelt theobsti nate members to go on in their own. way of loiiy ana perversity, as ne regarded it. xne session of the board continued to arrange minor matters part of yesterday. Tbe build ings which have been before described by the Sentinel are now nearly complete, and are very fine. Arrangements are made for extensive tree planting this spring, and for sinaing an artesian well on tne premises. Godly Sincerity. Half the trouble which many people take to be smooth and worth less impostors in religion would make them genuine christians. A lie is a great deal harder to tell than the truth. It is actually harder to be a successful hypocrite than to be a successful christian. In the one case Ood is continually helping us. In the other case God is hindering us, and all the time Is exposing us to detection and disgrace. It is really easier to possess a sincere heart-piety and to let that inward light shine out natur ally from the countenance and the conduct than it Is to go through life wearing the mask of false profession. To be a true christian is a constant joy. To seem to be one wnen we are not is to wear a hateful. galling yoke of bondage. In order to keep up appearances, an insincere professor is incessantly obliged to do many things which are exceedingly distasteful and even loath some. He must utter many a solemnfalse hood which sticks in his throat. He must forleit all self-respect. He must perform many a penance, and call it a pleasure. He lives in the constant dread that his mask may slip aside and reveal his real character, for no man ever went through a whole false life of professed piety without awakening occasional suspicion of his irodly sinceritv. Sometimes a sudden emergency jerks the mask aside and exposes the dissember. Oh ! what a wretched life is led by him who, in trying to "keep afloat' before his fellow creatures, is constantly striving to caulk up those fatal leaks which he knows are send ing him to the bottom.

An end to pleaant sounds that charm our ears; An end to enmity's foul 11 being. And to the gracious praise of tender friends; There is an end to ail but one sweet thing To love there is no end. . That warrior, carved an empire with his sword ; The empire now Is but like film name; That statesman spoke, and by a burning word Kindled a nation's heart luloa flame; Now naught Is left but ashes, and we bring Our homage to new men, to them we bend ; There is an end to all but one sweet thing To love there is no end. All beauty fafles away, or else, alas! Men's eyes grow dim and they no beauty see: The giorlous shows of nature pans and pass, Quickly they come, and quickly do they flee; And he who hears the voice of welcoming Hears next the slow, sad farewell of his friend ; There Is an nd to all but one sweet thing To love there is no end. And for ourselves our father, where la he?

BULLETS AND BLOOD. A DUEL TO THE DEATH. A KINOCLAR SCENE ''SIX PACES ASP FIRE" THE OLD TIMES REVIVED OXE DCEI.LIST WOUNDED MORTALLY AND THEN SHOT TWICE HY HIS OPPONENT THE CIRCCMSTANCES OK THE AFFAIR. Since the palmy days when the "peculiar institution" held sway over the sunny South and every dispute or insult was avenged by resort to the "code of honor," the regular good old fashioned duels have generally been abandoned. Much as many may lament, perhaps, this state of affairs, they will also now have occasion to rejoice with exceeding great joy at the revival of this "ancient and honorable custom." Indiana has the honor (T)to re-inaugurate the old method. The scene of such an affair was onlv about an hour's ride from this city on the"!.. 15. A AV. 11. R., in the burst called by the original settlers " Jeemstown ;" afterward mourned to "Jimtown, ' but, with tue advent of a railroad, now "Jamestown." The cause of the affair was indirectly the starting ot revival meetings in the town under the Y. M. t;. A.'s auspices last week. The ungodly thereupon arose in their might and proposed to hold a üance every night mat the righteous held a prayer meeting. Sat urday night last, however, the schemes of the revilers were brought to naught, and mournms followed the nrevious hilanty. They bad a dance, and the heels of tbe unrighteous twinkled to the sound of the - -j i fiddle and the blasts of the cornet. On with the dance, let joy be unconlined," was toe cry. And it went, and joy was not con fined, being distributed freely in cracked tumblers and beer glasses. J n fact, there was a llowing,"Tiot to say slopping, over of the bowl that cheerä and violently inebriates. At this t stal gathering and this eommunin together of congenial spirits the assistant marshal of Jamestown, named Unggs, lent the light ol his countenance, and another citizen named Mc-Lain also shone upon the assemblage, lhe dauling beaut v and ru diant smiles of a woman (of course there was a woman in the case "toujours Je femme") were claimed by both of the above persons. After miduigbt's solemn hour bad passed the ball broke up, and Briggs and McLain wended their way homeward. On the way the topic principally discussed was the woman whom each claimed as his afhni ity. The discussion was protracted until IT BECAME A DISPUTE, And finally with the light of the nine teeth century and the stars illumination bote upon them. Briggs and McLain de cided to resort to the code. Oh what a smart their wounded honor felt, was the thought of each as they decided on a'jewel." The Sunday just beginning, the wee day just ending, and before the one had fairly merged in the other or the other was lost sight of in the past, both men might perhaps beheld to answer at a tribunal not of earth. Perhaps some such thoughts passed through their respective minds. Not being sentimentally inclined, however, they did not utter them, but immediately proceeded to "business." At some distance from the scene of the dance, ; in the town, was a "common," a large open space suitable for tbe "Geld of honor," to which Briggs and McLain were called. This was chosen as the scene wherein to settle their dispute. The still quiet night, the absence of witnesses, seconds or any other parties made the af fair a still more cold blooded one, and showed the desperation, or more likely the drunken bravery, of the two men. Of course both were armed, according to tbe prevailing custom in this civilized, christianized, and "progressive" age. Briggs.the assistant marshal, proposed "three paces" each as the distance. The preliminaries were soon arranged. Back to back stood the two men. Though neither knew what the upshot of the affair would be, yet neither intended it to be merely a shot up. in the air. Briggs stepped oif one pace, McLain did the same. Then Briggs another and finally the three were paced off, and short paces they were too. The3" wheeled about. Not eighteen feet apart from death or injury perhaps fatal. "One, two, three, fire!" McLain, either nervous or a bad shot, (what caused it never will be known) missed. Bflggs emptied one barrel of his revolver. Tbe shot rang out on the still air; the bullet entered the thorax of McLain, and passed clear through the neck. Then followed something rarely if ever known in duels. Not content with having shot bis man, Briggs walked up to where McLain lay.. TWICK WAS HIS REVOLVER FIRED, The balls passing into his adversary's neck. And thus ended, perhaps, one of the most remarkable duels fought, even in tbe days when honor could only be saved by the argument of powder and ball. Jamestown was naturally excited. Not only was the attempt to run opposition to the revival damaged at the outstart, but probably nipped in the bud. Routed, broken up; ausgespielt. Jamestown is not an over populous town. Its ungodly are not as tbe sands on the seashore. Two men taken from its ranks the first night was a loss. The "raw material" would rot last at that rate, until the revivalists had closed up their evening sessions. This unexpected shell thrown into tbe enemy's camp decided tbe issue at once. The red flag of defiance thrown out on Saturday night was torn down and the white one ot peace and good will, alone waved over the town. So unusual an event created r consternation in Jamestown. A gentlemen ot this city who arrivod here yesterday noon, and who related the above facts to a Sentinel representative, states that it has thrown the town Into the greatest consternation. The unexpected affair, the deliberate cold-blooded actions of Briggs and McCain, in their attempts at each other's life, and finally the fiendish act on the part of Briggs in shooting the already wounded man, naturally caused intense leeling among all classes of citizens. Briggs was arrested Sunday morning, and in default of 5,000 bail imprisoned. His late opponent, McLain, was yesterday alive, but no hopes of his recovery were entertained. Altogether, tbe affair is one that would cause a thinkiDc; person to ask the conundrum, "Who shall civilize our home heathens?'' The greatest objection to a resort to the duel, is that one Is always sure to escape. Were it a case similar to that oi the "Kilkenny cats," one oonld cry with much earnestness, "Vive la code J'
