It fosters agriculture. It is careful of all its prosperities and sources of prosperity, It establishes a currency. It organizes and superintends an elaborate postal service. It carries on all the processes of a hf;ht organic life. Our own nation governs itself, and one r) the conditions of all good gov ernment is intelligence at th'ba-is of its policy.

education is one of the primary , functions of the State's life No democratic government can lnn exi:?t without it, and ourie?t p'Mi pie are thoroughly conFirtned in this conviction. We have taken up the subject simply to show that the State Citnnot "go back on" Ps record without the surrender of j the policy which grows out of the In-t inct of all living organisations tm slf protection and self-pr-ever-vation. To surrender litis policy would lie, not only foolish, but criminal ntvl there is not one Aineric m institutioti tht American people would ooner tight fot and die for. than that which se:ures an educab-d aiid intelligent nationality. i mm Patrons of SiusUanitry. Worthy Master, Having heen chosen by the committee of last meeting to presen' at essay, it being left to .my own option as to subject, 1 have selected that of "Women's l)uties and Influence." Not wishing to.be tedious in rpiering to the many w ijs in w hieh she may be in-.trumrntai in promoling good, will for the presort confine her influence within thtgrange. From the position iti which some ot us iie now placed, we would naturally infer that woman must have been decided upon as a personage of .some influence, or she would not have been promoted as an equalized inmate of this institution, since other orders have been living almost since time immemorial in secret brotherhood. Thanks to those intelligent sympathetic brothers of ours, who have at last discovered that woman can keep a secret when her ovn interest is involved. -Within the hall of the grange, woman has, I think, an excellent opportunity for displaying her influence morally, intellectually, socially and domestically. iirst, I think she should manifest this, not only in her persona! appearanee, but in her taste in decorating the hall, making it a place of desirable resort, rather than of mere duty. Associated with this her deportment should be such as to evince to the brotherhood congeniality of feeling in regarding their superiority and wisdom in Important affairs of duly, combining with pure deference that modesty which has ever been one of woman's prime attributes. When matters of importance require her notice, her decision should be such as emenates from a well ballanced judgment, rather than persua s-on or indifference, and charity should characterize her ruling passion. In the literary arrangement her subject should be brbf and pointed, manifesting i ntelle. tual economy and common sense. In t he-culinary department she should combine taste, economy, liberality wi.h a degree of cheerfulness which flirwfl only from a benevolent heart. When duty calls her to the sickroom, she hou'd hasten without delay, rendering with aid and comfort that sympathy which has -always been ascribed to woman's niturc. Her conduct towards her own sex should be marked with kindness b'V ml of envy, gentleness and pure friendship, nd love t f sr I r. Vt it d to tie r in unit v iet ti-i -o ciitilinue.

T anr!c Oraila of a strange 711 an 171io divert in ISie oi3s Alone. Winti-ircsT, Jan. I. A t.aedy of an itnknown character took p!ace fmr mile north of here last j Kator,,s,.v n!ht About a month atro a man gtviug fits name s$ John l1-trker, canie into that neighbor hood and took a job of clearing some timber land. Instead of boarding with the family, he went Into the woods some distance from the road, and constructed a "dug-out," in which he lived alone. The general appearance of the man, however, indicated that he vs not a laboring man. The "dug-out" soon b came the resort of a class of men who spent their earnings in drinking and card playing. Tire silent hour of midnight had often witnessed their revelries. On last Sunday morning the scene was chang ed. Th "dug-oat" was found, with all that was combustible burned out, and John Parker was found within, having his head nnrned off and his limbs somewhat charred. A coroner's inquest was held and the following facts were brought out: Witnesses testified that they had been there the evening before and had .remained till midnight, drinking and card play, ing; Parker was somewhat intoxicated during the fore part of the evening, but when they left he was comparatively sober. A family living near by testified that about midnight they saw a fire at or near the "dug-out," but supposed it was a pile of brush burning. At about 2 o'clock reveral pistol shots were heard in that direction. Thiswas.ihe sum and substance of the evidence taken by the coroner. Dr. Sherry, the physician who made the examination; informs y ur correspondent that he lound the ody partly covered by the earth that had fallen from the side of the dug-out, and was but little burned, and in full drS3, except hjs boots which Could not be found. His revolver which was a laige navy was found between his feet discharged. There was no mark of violence on the bodvj and the headless trunk was a horrible sight. Who the victim was, or where he was from, s unknown, as he persistently refused to give any information on that pointi He never Came to town, and always sent the money by some one when he wanted anything, and never went any place. John Parker, as he called himself, was about thirty years old; was six feet high, and weighed about 200 pounds; had side whiskers, light hair and blue eyes; was a solid muscular man. vVhether a criminal fled from justice, or what not, there is a mysteiy connected with his life as well as with his sudden death.

A tr.an down their offered me fifte. n for ten cents." "He did. hey?" answered the druggist. "That is two-thirds of a cent for a cigar.
