Mr. Fink sprang from his bed, and called to ascertain who was there. By this time the stranger made a bound against another door of the house a few feet distant from the former, but failed to break it open. In a few minutes another effort was made to force the door by some ons-bounding against it. Mrs. Fink then sprang to the cfiior and held it while her husband got his gun. They then again called to the party outside and inquired what they wanted, but received no reply. They then opened the door.

The National Grange.

Charleston, S. C.,Feb. 3. The National Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, met in thik city at noon to-day, Worthy Master Adams, of lowa, in the chair. About sixty officers and members were present. Master Taylor, of the South Carolina Grange, delivered an address of welcome, which was responded to by Smedley, of lowa. Worthy Master Adams then delivered his annual address. He said Maine aud Montana have joined our ranks in the past year, and the few remaining States still unorganized are joyfully on the way. This uprising and organization of a great and scattered interest has not a parallel in the history of the world. The movement has surprised its friends and astonished and alarmed its foes. It found the agriculturists of the nation unrecognized, weak, plodding and unheard; today they are United, strong, thoughtful and duly respected as one of the great powers that be. We have just caught a glimpse of the “promised land,” but ere we can reach the goal a wide and weary wasteris to he crossed, which will tax to the utmost our prudence, perseverance and valor. The position of honor and trust, the avenues to wealth, the molding of the institutions of the nation, have long been in the hands of members of other callings. This monopoly will not he given up withput a struggle. The Patrons of Husbandry will be met by determined and persistent warfare. So we must close our ranks and keep our powder dry. In some States the Order is passing through the ordeal which shall reveal its weakness or display its strength. To maintain what we have gained and secure further advancement we must be able to show to our members and the world that material and moral gain does and will result from our organization. We must keep our ranks full and action wise.

Prominent among the subjects to demand attention is that of transportation, in which every citizen has a direct interest. There is a deep-seated and wellfounded conviction that the present modes of carrying commodities are uselessly expensive. The people and the Government have liberally aided in the construction of railroads and canals, in the expectation that increased facilities will result in cheaper rates of transportation. We relied on the idea that by building numerous routes we would obtain the benefits of competition and secure fair rates; but sad experience has fully proved that the increase in the number and strength of transportation companies only results in more gigantic and oppressive combinations. Though we have now several powerful lines between the Northwest and Northeast, they have within a few days formed a new combination by which Westernbound freights have been advanced. To remedy this alarming and growing evil, the people, in their individual capacity, are powerless. Only by united actiou as sovereigns can they obtain redress. In some States something of this has been done, but it has been fragmentary and necessarily inoperative on through freights. It is impossible for the Slates to act iu concept through their respective Legislatures, and there Is no solution but for the people of the States, through Congress, to stretch out the strong arm between the people and these corporations. We would do no wrong to the capital nominally invested in railroads. We recognize their capacity for good, and all their just claims; but we demand justice and protection for the people. "But if railroads even do carry at fair rates the fact remains that the transportation of heavy commodities is an expansive luxury, and our true policy is ‘„o bring the producer and consumer nearer together, and so do less transportation. We of the South and should spare no pains to push ir.aiiuf a ctures, that we be not obliged to transport our raw material out and *.ne manufactured article in. The where manufactures are strong, should w Vth equal activity promote t v a e cultivation of the raw material, so-Uyat the terrible strain on transportation be lessened. No country has ever remained permanently prosperous by the production and exportation of raw material. The tendency of such is always to,dependence and poverty. How important, then, is it to have amicable rebetween all the productive industries, as only by mutual development ean we be mutually prosperous, and the body politic be maintained in vigorous health. On the subject of currency Master Adams saidthat numerous citizens are trying to devise a plan by which bits of printed paper can be changed into millions.of actual money. The country is suffering from the derangement of its finances. The cause is that the country passed through a wasting civil war, which co-t, directly and indirectly, more than 000,000,000, which sum is forever gone. Paper currency was used to disguise our poverty, and by its use our judgment of values was more and more confused. We have, in consequence, drifted farther and farther to leeward, and there |U not

a royal road out of the trouble. . Only by a return of habits of industry and economy, guided by intelligence, can we regain wealth and remove the load of debt. As an auxiliary to this we want a stable and sound currency, which shall he a reliable measure of values and rec ognized by all the world. An unredeemable currency always favors speculation aqd sharpers at the expense of those engaged in productive industry. The delegates have been cordially received here, and an enthusiistic public meeting of welcome was held to-night.

Striking, or Interfering.

A cheat number of horses are in the habit of striking one leg against anofher; and a good deal of ingenuity has been at different times exercised in search of a remedy for this very troublesome prac tice. Both the fore and hind legs are” subject to cutting, the latter, perhaps, most frequently; but in them it is confined to the fetlock joint, whereas in the fore legs the horse may hit either the fetlock, the leg just above the pasterns, or just under The knee, where it is called a speedy cut, from its occurring chielly in fast action. It is desirable, before applying a remedy, .to ascertain, if possible, the cause, and the part which strikes, whether the shoe or the foot, and if the latter, what part of it. Many horses strike from weakness, and cease to do so when they gain strength and condition. This is more particularly observable with young horses. Others cut from a faulty conformation of the limbs, which are sometimes too close to each other; and sometimes the toe is turned too much out or too much in; when the toe is turned in the horse usually cuts under the knee. The objects to be kept in view in shoeing such horses must, be to remedy, as much as we can, the faulty action, and to remove, if possible, the part which cuts. The part of the foot which strikes is generally between the toe and the inside quarter, sometimes the inside quarter itself, hut very rarely the heels of the shoe. If the horse turns his toe in, in all probability he wears the inside of the shoe most; and if so, it should be made much thicker than the outside. If the contrary, the outside heel should he thicker than the inside. The shoe should he beveled off on the inside quarter, which should also he free from nails. In the hind legs we olten find that a three-quarter shoe will prevent cutting when other plans fail; for here the part which cuts is not situated so forward as in the fore legs, so that the removal of the iron altogether from the inside quarter will often accomplish our aim. It sometimes happens that every plan we can adopt will not prevent cutting, and then the only resource is the* adoption of hoots or straps. —Prairie Farmer.

A Simple Cure.

Joy to the world! Anybody who has rheumatism can now be cured. A Philadelphia medical journal in an article upon the cure of rheumatism by electricity gives the following instructions in regard to the application: —ls five cells are used the formula will be —r -5 K C~ : S IR SIR-| 1000 which will, of course, give practically the same result as E IR 1 IR - | 1000 I mention this because it seems to me to shed such a flood of light upon the subject that any poor, suffering cripple can rig up a machine and cure himself. •Hitherto there has been a cloud of obscurity surrounding the application of electricity to rhematism, but now any man who has courage enough to make C equal to 5 E divided by 5 1 R plus I E divided by 1,000 can drop the ashes out of his joints fast enough to make them rattle. And I suppose that in extreme cases where the disease will not yield readily a daring man might stir in the rest of the alphabet without danger of sizzling his legs off. The manner in which science is driving pain and sorrow out of this world is something to make glad the heart of the philanthropist.— Max Adder, in Danbury News, The chap who last summer married a Newport belle, and who during the engagement was always boasting of the “ linguistic and vocal accomplishments” of his intended, looks very serious now when the matter is alluded to by his friends.
