THE GRANGERS.

Last week in speaking of tbe Patrons of Husbandry, we stated tbat its growth 1B this State bad not been so rapid as in some of tbe other Western States. This is true as compared with Iowa and Illinois. Since tben we learn that nearly three hundred Oranges have been organised in this State, and that with tbo harvesting of tbe antntnn crops tbe order promises to bound into publio notice to an extraordinary degree. The number of Oranges organized in the twenty-six States and Territories where it exists is estimated at 4,500 with an average membership of fifty, giving a total membership of nearly a quarter of a million. In Iowa alone there are nearly two thousand Oranges withr au estimated membership of 87,000.

It is strenuously denied thitt the movement has auything to do with politics, and its objects seem t$ be principally to promote social intercourse, to co-operate in buying and selling and to advance the general interests of the agricultural classes.

As a social stimulus the Oranges prove as they might be expected to do, a success. Drawing tbe men and women of the farming community together to talk aud plan concerning their mutual interests, a certain good-will and fellowship springs up between them which was unknown before. Their mental activity too is naturally increased. Discussion produoes thought and a desire lor greater knowledge. It is stated that tbe consumption of literature of various kinds has been twenty-five per cent, greater where Oranges have been established than it was before. This is perhaps one of the best effects of the movement—tbo stimulation oi thought and inquiry. Men will do better work in any department of life wben they take a genuine and earnest interest In it when they feel that they are independent and tbat ^helr pr*#iBo»is en»df no second order or importance. These exchanges of views on tbe various questions per talning to farm management which tbe Oranges facilitate must be of immense value to those who participate in the discussions. Another good result of these meetings is the creation of a feeling of confidence and mutual support. The isolated worker labors under peculiar disadvantages. He is liable to become discouraged, to feel that his work is iusigniflcant compared with the great, united professions of a more concentrated kind. Tbis is particularly apt to bo the case with the farmers, scattered as they are far apart over tbe country. But the Granges bring them together, there is tbo confidence of numbers, for once in their lives they are where the farmer'« interest Is tbe one subject of thought and discussion. Communicating with other similar societies throughout the Stato and nation, joined in tbo samo cause with them, each man feels that he is one of a grand host, a member of a most ancient and 'honorable order. And be goes with increased seal and pride to his work.

The system of co-operation in buying aud selling appears also to be productive of good, though it has not yet perhaps been reduced to its best results. The method is to have a general agtint who purchases articles tor a large number of Oranges, say for those of whole a State. The goods ate shipped in bulk to a central point, whence they are distributed to tbe various Granges and |j gthaso are put into the hands of to* bwners. By purchasing in this way they are enabled to save tbe profit of middle-men, and the large quantity of goods bought entitles them to a considerable discount. The redaction thus obtained is stated to be something like the following: Sewing machines are reduced from $50 to *30 from |S0 to 90, etc. Organs, $175 to $185 830 to fiyo. Scales from 25 to 50 per cent.

Mowers, fl 10 to Other agricultural and farm Implements in a similar ratio. It la estimated tbat tbe saving to tbe farmers of Iowa in this way h*s been from a million to a million and a half of dollars, since January.

A simitar co-operation in selling bas been practised to some estest. Instead, ur instance, of selling their bog* to the

fall upon tbe devoted beads oi the thouaand marshalling tbemaelvee un der the bsnner of "the farmers' mo|w» ment."

Still, it does not follow thst it will fall but it may be leas successful thai* its most

ardent

advocatee hope and be

lieve. Its ultimate, effect can haidly kelp being good. The social and mental atimulus which we noticed are of themselves sufficient to make the Granges of tsst profit. If they result in something more than this, in a dooperative system of buying snd selling, of direct pecuniary benefit to the formers, so much the better. If otherwise they will still be profitable. The working and results of the movement will at all eventa be watched with inteceat.

KEEP COOL.

Tbat is tbe advioe most appropriate to the season, snd We find everybody very free of it. It is truly consoling, when tbe thermometer is ollmbing up with all tbe pristine luxuriance of Jack-the-Giaut-Killer's Beanstalk, to have some provoklngly frigid fellow, whose blood la water and wboae face is marble, call attention tb the streaming perspiration on your lorebead, and tell you to "keep cool."

There Is much in his simpW'advice, after all and tbe cooling effect of a placid mind upon a beated body is something wonderful to observe. It is the men who never worry wb* are always provoklngly cool, and who exasperatingly decline to agree with you wben yon remark on tbe temperature. Tbe subject is one well worthy of investigation, for throughout tbe summer months, if not at all timea,, these individuals are most enviable.

To be sure, there are certain degrees of coolness which are rather overdrawn, and not commendable froifi an sasthelic point or view. Of such nature was the country lad who, wandering round a hardware store, caught aight of a "buzz saw," and kicking it contemptoiisly with his foot remarked to the oierk,

had au old dad ripped to pieoss with one of them t'other day." Nor can we thoroughly commend the coolness of Madsme Valliant, mistress of ceremonies to DuBarry, who, being suddenly informed thst her husbsnd bsd Wowd £is brains out, to^cWn^r |nWftfd whether tho poor, dear man was much mussed up. There is a certain exaggeration of coolness In these cases not wholly pleasant to a sensitive mind, and yet, without doubt, it sftved much needles^ perspiration and soiling of linen, jg-*,

More commendable was tbe coolness of D'Abrantes, who smilingly congratulated himself and tbe Emperor when their letter was sanded by a bursting shell, and Kilpatrlck'a "Only a look of hair," wben a minie ball sheared bis forehead, was worthy the composure of Dean Swift. Tbo "Little Corporal" had this keep-eool faculty in a tnost ununwonted degree, as witness his thick coat buttoned to the cbln, and his colorless face, aa he composedly trod tbe Egyptian furnace but perhaps tbe first story in tbe line, is one told concerning Alma. In the hottest part of the day the Guards were ordered up tbe hill in the fsce of a converging lire of shot and shell. As they struggled up amid the deadly hail, with hundreds falling upon either side, young, beardless lad, who bore tbe 9$lors of his regiment—It was bis baptismal fire—turned quietly to a man by bis side and murmured plaintively, "Do they al waya ahoot aa ft»t ss this, Charlie? I suppose it's the corw^t thing, though."

THE President of the Tippecanoe County Agricultural Society has issued a circular announcing tbatr Ihritogb tbe liberality of a number of .gentlemen of Lafayette, "who assure tne of their lively interest in the improvement of tbe human family," Uj» Is able to offer a prise or 100 for the three handsomest and beat-proportioned babies between the sges of 1 and 3 years. The babies are to be exhibited^ at the county fair on Thursday, Sept. 4, and the judges are to be "oompacq^ of an equal number of bachelors snd ladles who are mothers of not leas than ten children." There Is a little ragutness about tbis sentence, bnt we dare say the committee mean well enough, and thai thetfe Will be a fin* gathering of blessed babies at the time appointed. When the "bachelors and ladfeswho are the mothers of'not lees tbffli ten children" oome forward to the judges* stand, however, there- will be a fiattaring.

I have not been able to visit any but the Red Cliff aud Bad River Reserves. They aie mostly engaged in agricultural pursuits, although many of them have large Ashing interests and are very successful. At Odmuah, on B«d river, we have a boarding and day school, where, someeigbty or ninety children are being taught ilie common braacbes of our KngJUn education, the same Is being done at Red Cliff, and I will have one each of the other Reserves the same facilities by this time next year. At Red Cliff we are running a lax*e saw mill, and since I have been here we nave put in a flsh pond Irom which we took about thirty half barrels yesterday morning, and expect to do the »ame at each daily fishing. It costs about per day to run the pond. On the Bad river and Red Cliff Reserves we have about fifty acres of potatoes, coin and hay for all the stock, besides small vegetables enough to keep many of them from want this winter. As a clasa I find they will, and In fhet are anxious to work. I will commence making the payments on the 3rd of September, and will finish up by the 1st of October, when I will try and get home for a few days. The Indians look upen pay days as we do our Fourth of July. Its the grandest days oi the year with them, and I Judge Is quite as interesting to the traders and hangers on about the reservations. I will leave here about the 26th with acteamerand the anulty goods and-such funds as go with me, and make payment at Grand Portage on the 3rd of September, will stop and pay at Bad River on the 16th, and Red Cliff thefflrd, and so on till 1 am through.

1 PLEASANT RETREA T. LAKEMISXKTOUKA, MINN.. August l&il), 187&

EDITOK MAIL Tho Mall keeps mo well posted In regard to all local matters pertaining to Terre-Haute. And In readfng the balance of the good things it usually contains, it occurred to me that perhaps a line flrom this point, des.rlblng route, Lake, Ac., might be Interesting to some of its readers. Mlnnetouka is an Indian word—signifying big water. The lake is situated 25 miles from 8t. Paul, and can be reached either by carriage or by the cars, over tho 81. Paul and Pacific R. R. On .eaving the *»rs the tourist finds himself In tho immediate vicinity or the lake—also row boats. It Is of very Irregular shape, dotted with charming Islands, enclosed by a shore, the features

or which are varied and picturesque. The village where oue leaves the cars Is called "Wayzatn. there are two hotels at this point, and many remain here a day or two then enws to the opposite shore, to a village called Excelsior, whiob has one large hotel, and about 80 families, most of which kee travelers do ring the summer season, anu are always fulT and running over. Home ten miles farther up, at the head of the lake, you find "Cook'ijt Lake View House," quite a resort, and a pleasant place Indeed. The writer spent three weeks at the above place. A diminutive steam yacht, "The Sue Gardiner," capable of carrying thirty persons, plies between the above point*, connecting with the cars at Waysata, giving to the health and pleasure seekers ample opportuni to receive as well an send mail matter. The lako la sixteen miles long by six in width but owing to the peculiar conformation of its shores and Islands, 1U shore line is not less than 175 miles in length. Au almost endless succession of picturesque

particular has peculiar charms for the disciple* of "Isaac Walton." Pickerel weighing 29 pounds have been taken from its crystal depths: while ten pound fish are common. Pickerel, Black Bass, Grapples, Sunfish, and Day fish are the most common. I have ttfthed a great d«tal during tbe past four weeks here, and have been very successful, frequently capturing from twentyfive4c fifty iua hah day'sflshing. ltsMands for camping grounds are unrivaled, and the tents and the happy parties one M«S in passing up and down the lake will verity my statement.

At the opper end of the lake you will find In a remote plaoe the Bachelor quartern of a •cntlemau named Hanied, (a brother of the noted "Pete Hals ted," of New Jersey notoriety). He has bean in his preeeut Quarters sixteen years, entirely by himself. Keverthelem he is fond of company, and leaves nothing undone to make ft pleasant for parties calling upon him. His house is a model nf neatness, and every thing in parte* order fine paintings, engravings, Ae., adorn the walls, while a fine secretary containing a magnillodit library is found in his sitting-room. He has a beautiful sailing yacht, {oihls own make) and is ever ready to give you a nkse sail. He frequently enter

Isms quite large parties, at histaoie Is an excellent cook and does ss well bar you as either Bmning or the Yankee Kitchen could do. He is a man of about thirty-six years ofage, is well posted and highly edu cated and refined parties residing on the take can give no reason why be prefers this 'lonely mode of living.

There are upwards, I presume, of 09 row boats on the lake, and many sail boats tbat can he rented by the month, week, dayor hour afrreaeonable rates.

Ha regarda cholera aa material In its origin. In tbo paper mentioned above aaya:

Bat the main force of my statement ia untouched. Itiaan important one. I repeat it. No oaee of cholera haa ever yet occurred, except as the result of sleeping at nigbt where tbe csuse is, snd no smount of cxpoaure in the dsy time, without tbe sleep at night in the locality, ever gave the disease. No mere sojourner daring the past 900 yesrs haa ever alept at night in the malarious seaaon, in tbe Pontine marshes (nesr Rome) without dying. The Abrussi mountaineers, who put in such crops ss are raised tbo re, sleep in day time, but never at night. All testimony that haa spoken on this poibt in reference to yellow fever testifies thst no amount or exposure in dsy time is perilous. bnt tbat the only danger ia in sleeping in the locality at night.

THK New Yprlt Mail says: "For the resssuranoe of those timid souls who fear the MUhtning fiaah' and the 'all dreaded thunder storm,' some eooentric lover of figures has calculated the chances of any person being struck by lightning. It is about one in 100,883, or rsther less than the chances of drawing tfie capital prise in tbe Havana lottery. According to tbe same statiatician, one is twice as lisble to die of sunstroke, and six times ss likely to commit suicide. Under tbe circumstances it is not worth whits to go down cellar or bury one's self in a (bather bed when a storm comes up."
