At about half past eleven o'clock last sight, the Are alarm was struck, and it was discov ered that the Topeka foundry and machine shops were on fire, the flames having made considerable progress.

The firemen were on the ground in a very short "time, and a full stream of water was directed on the blazing building the light from whioh now lit up the whole eastern part of the city. The fire had got too far under headway to save the main building before the water could be laid on, or any portion of its contents, so the energies of the firemen and several volunteers pressed from the large crowd which had assembled was directed to saving the back buildings, which at the present writing seems likely of accomplishment. The loss cannot fall far short of $30,000, including machinery, patterns, etc. We were unable to learn whether Sir. Andrew Stark had any insurance on his property or not.

He has suffered seriously of late in his business, and the present disaster will therefore fall upon him heavily. He is one of our oldest citizens, having come to Kansas duringjthe territorial excitement. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incen diary. Commonwealth A Cold-Blooded Murder. On the night of the 29th, about 7 o'clock, a negro named John Blunt murdered a wealthy farmer named Charles Ingersoll, in Kanawka Township, Douglas County.

The victim was an old settler and quite wealthy. Blunt had been working on his farm, and the murder was committed in the presence of Ingersoll's wife, bv firinar four shots into his body. He died almost instantly. The murderer mounted a horse and escaped, but was subsequently cap tured at Fall Leaf by Sheriff Walker, who had considerable difficulty in preventing his lynching, but finally lodged him in the jail at Lawrence. The Grange Objects and Benefits.

At the recent installation of the officers of the New Hampshire State Grange an excellent address was delivered Dy uoi. D. Wyatt Aiken, from which we extract the following paragraphs concerning the objects and benefits ot the tiranse ine lounders, seeing how mucn co operation and concentration were doing for every other association, conceived the idea that the same co-operative principle might be employed for the benefit of the larmmg class and the people lor Whose benefit it was conceived saw that it was good, and took hold of it in earnest. i ne Denent to tne pocKet is tne nrst consideration of those seeking to enter the Grange, but that is by no means the only benefit. The Grange seeks to do good to its members without waging warfare with any other class.

If the farmer sells his produce to the middleman at little more than the bare cost of production, and the middleman sells it to the consumer at a profit, we cannot blame the middleman it only snows tnat ne is snrewder than we. The only remedy is for the farmers to cooperate and lessen the number of profits Detween mem ana tne consumer. One great object of the Grange is to elevate the farmers. From the nature of their calling they are much isolated, and this isolation tends to make thfim unsocial and selfish. The farmer's wife never goes anywhere, because her husband cannot find time or disposition to go with her, and she becomes unsocial and selfish also.

This is characteristic of the farming com munity from Maine to Texas. In the Grang'e they are brought together, their social natures are developed and elevated. lie had been in many states, but he had found none where the farmer and his wife did not find time to go to the Grange after they had once entered. Then the Urange is an educating pow er, lie believed it required more mind, thought, energy, to make a successful farmer, than any other avocation in life This is an age of progress, and the man who stands still and don study to improve, will go backward. Farming must be studied.

Agriculture is a science, and the more we study it the larger the field spreads out before us. To be a true farmer a man should study to prepare himseii as much as ior any oi the professions, in the Grange the latent intelligence of the farmer is brought out, and each can learn ot the other some new idea or method Two heads are always better than one, only does the Grange improve him educationally ana socially, but morally The larmer ought, above all others, to be a Christian. His avocation should pecu liarly lead him to look through nature up to nature's God. The Grange makes him charitable." Referring to the secrecy of the order, he said it was that which gave it cohesion and permanency, in ail trades and professions there is a degree of secrecy, and the most successful man is he who keep3 his plans to himseii. in the urange there is just enougn secrecy to maKe it attr etive.

The Grange also does what no party or organization has done, unites the people of all parts of the country. It says to every man in toe union uome in, and I'll give you the hand of friendship." It knows no north, no south, no east, no west It bridges the bloody chasm which has divided different sections. The constitution of the Grange prohibits the discussion ot religion or politics, and neither political nor religious' tests for membership are allowed. Yet this means to exclude only sectarianism and partisanship, for religion in its true sense is al ways taught here, and there is no fitter subiect than pontics in its real meaning- the science of government for our con sideration Summed Up. Inasmuch as the commercial papers have been engaged in summing up the losses accruing to the granges through the failure of E.

E. Morgan Sons, we see no harm of presenting a statement of account irom the standpoint ot the iratrons them selves. What have they gained 1st. They have gained some knowledge of the ways that are dark and the tricks that are vain, used bv their enemies, that will be of service to them the future. ad.

They have gained conndence in themselves and their organization that will insure their harmonious working and ultimate success. 3d. They have gained, in that their trial has discovered the weak-kneed and worthless in the order. 4th. They have gained, in that the di vision of their losses has united them in a closer bond of sympathy, and cemented a brotherhood worthy the name.

5th. They have gained independence 6th. They have gained a victory over the wheat ring, the extent and complet-ness of which will be measured by failures certain to occur in the immediate luture, What have they lost? 1st. Nothing of integrity. 2d.

Nothing of determination. 3d. Nothing but $100,000 which, set over against tne previous gain ot ,000,000, is so small a sum as to be scarce worthy of mention and tbis $100,000 being voluntarily shared by the 17,000 or 18,000 Pat rons oi the btate is still further reduced so as to be absolutely trival. Then, in view of the fact that this $100,000 has been lost in an attempt to inaugurate a system of business which, if successful, will save the farmers of California hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, it should be regarded simply as an investment. Further, the practicability of the new system having been fully demonstrated, the $100,000 invested in its inauguration, and supposed to be lost, comes to be considered as the most profitable investment the farmers of California ever made.

Cali fornia Granger, One Beauty of the Grange. One of the best things about the Grange movement is the effort to make the American farmer remember that his house in not a tent in the desert, but a home, and that he should make home agreeable. It is a strange fact that the nearer one comes to a city the more delightful he finds the gardens. The fact is that the denizens of the city appreciate the pleasure afforded by ivy and shade tree and flowers, while the frirmer does not. He looks upon his land as something to scrape a living from, and chops down the growing shade trees for cord wood.

AVith a very few days' extra trouble each year, our farmers could live in houses embowered by roses and ever- treens, and surrounded with flower gar-ens, tfaahvillt Banner, How a Congregation of Colored Baptist jCiiuoyeu memteivea.

When the ladies and gentlemen had made the circuit of the room about two score times, the Judge Advocate, as the principal iudge called himself, cried out Let de fust couple decease from walking." Then there was a pause while the judge put on his glasses and looked more closely at the performance.

Paraf is the first discoverer of method of doing without rain. He has solved the problem of artificial irrigation He is known as a successful chemist and inventor. Those who wish to know more of him may be informed that he is a pupil of the College of France, and a fellow as sociate with Jfroiessor Schutzenberger M. Paraf knew that the air is full of mois ture, and he knew that the chloride of calcium would attract and condense it. He has applied this chloride on sand-hills, on grass, on all sorts of soil, successfully, and has ascertained that it will produce the irrigation of land more cheaply and efficiently than any other artificial method.

One of M. Parafs applications will produce and retain abundant moisture for thee days, when the same amount of water introduced by the ordinary methods will evaporate in one hour. M. Paraf states that his preparation is less expensive than canal irrigation, and believes that it will not only produce two blades of grass where but one now grows, but will render possible fields, meadows, and prosperity where now there is nothing but sand mi deeert waste, Legislative Proceedings.

It is reported that there were about forty- five buffalo hunters and Government freight ers frozen during this cold weather between Fort Dodge and Camp Supply. There was one outfit that burnt their wagons, corn, bacon and every thing that was available for fuel, but before they could get word to the Fort they suffered greatly. Some of them froze to death; others will lose their feet, amputation being necessary, while the balance are more or less disabled. "We glean this statement from several reliable parties, and they all tell the same story, with the exception of the number, one saying 45, another 60. and another 75 or 80.

It is probable, however, that 45 will come nearer the number than 80. It seems singular to us why hunters and freighters will launch out on these broad and treeless prairies ia the dead of winter without being fully prepared for Kansas storms, knowing as they do, what might happen at any time during the winter season, and also knowing that these death dealing storms lasses, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of but ter, 1 cup ot milk for water), a even tea- spoonfuls of soda, salt and ginger to suit the taste, flour sufficient to make the mix ture roll out well.

How Gunn Insured Pitman's Life. Mv life insurance agent, Benjamin Gunn. is still around and he is tlill can vassing actively for his company. A day or two ago he dropped in to persuade Mr, Pitman to take out a policy, and tne 101 lowing conversation ensued Gunn" I called Pitman get out I I don't want to be bored about life insurance." Gunn I just dropped in to see if Pitman i know you did, and i aon wan't any. 1 ou can't insure me." liunn "11 you will permit me merely to ex Pitman "But I won't permityou Skip I This is the sixteenth time you've tackled me, and I'm sick of it.

And of course you are willing help along any scheme which will put an end to war and mur der." Pitman Certainly." Gunn "Well, then, iust listen tome, am acting in behait ot your society, i have on hand a magnificent plan for pro ducing permanent peace on earth and making armies useless. Why did Cain kill Abel?" Pitman I dunno." Gunn Because he had no particular interest in keeping him alive. That's the reason.

Why did David bang Goliah whylid theliomans butcher the Cartha ginians why did the Modoc3 kill lien Uanby; why did old what's-his-name burn Eidley and Latimer at the stake? Fit.mfln 44 Hflnffprl if lrnrkw Gunn Why, "because it wasn't money in the pockets ol any of those leiiows have the other chaps walking around en joying life.

Do you believe Wise would a-hung old John Brown if John's death would a-forced Wise to borrow money to buy boots Pitman May be lie wouldn't." Gunn" Well, then, look a-here. Suppose you was a policy holder in a Mutual Life Insurance Company wouldn't it reduce your dividends if you was to kill another member, and wouldn't you do your terrific best to keep that member alive? Pitman Strikes me I would." Gunn Of course. Now, what I am aiming at is to gather the whole civilized earth the whole human family into our company, so's that all hands will be perfectly wild to keep every body else alive.

When this is done you can beat your swords into spears and your plowshares into pruning hooks, for there 11 be no more war. Don't you see I'm not working for a paltry commission or two. It is a labor of love. I'm trying to elevate the race and promote Christian civilization." Pitman It never struck me that way." Gunn Anyhow, it's so. And I ask you, as a member of the Peace Society, to enroll your name among those who are carrying on this great work.

Terms as low as any other company, and dividends payable semi-annually. Unborn generations will rise up and call you blessed. We make our policies payable at any age, or will put in the Tontine and you'll dry the widow's tears and hush the cry of the orphan. Go in for a five thousand dollar Eolicy, and I assure you that the glad osannas of the white-robed angel of Peace once more will resound from the starry vaults of heaven, and over the smiling earth the songs of love will still the clangor of the war-horse and the boom of the cannon, and man once more will know the felicity of Paradise. Lemme see how old are you Pitman I'm forty-four in February.

Put me down for five thousand, payable at sixty years of age. Call In the morning with the papers, and I'll sign 'em." Gunn Good day. I'm off.

Mark Twain's Earlj Home. A correspondent writing from Hannibal, says On Third; (Street, a short distance from a cross street it is Bird Street, Rock Street, or Collier Street, no one seemed to be certain which was the correct name stands the building in which Sammy Clemens lived twenty years ago. It is a square two-story frame house of the plainest possible architecture. The half-decayed weather-boarding is deeply streaked with moss. It has a stone foundation, large brick chimney outside the building, and fronts eastward, being faced by four sprawling locust trees.

Otherwise there is not a single distinguishing mark. It has no front yard, and the fences in the immediate vicinity are ancient and frail. The upper part of the house is given to old boxes and the spiders, while the lower floor is used as a cabinet-shop by some desecrator of regard for button-bursting and side-splitting genius. Many of the people of the town remember the boy, but with different opinions. One old lady, Mrs.

Martin, says he used to come up and play with her girls, and that he weren't such an awfnl smart fellow till he got away, and then folks be- fan to see lots of him." Another person, owever, of the masculine persuasion, says he knew the boy well, and that he was smart as a steel trap. A third says that old an Clemens married a second cousin of his (citizen's) sister, eo that he came that pear being in the gtiU I to cct and ry 1 1 TITHE wrliln(r(o mlvcrtUvra picas mention th name of this mnjr.

R. V. Pierce, M. Buffalo, N. Y.

Dear Sir I had suffered from Catarrh in an aggravated form for about twelve yenrs ana lor Severn vears irom lsroncnini irouiue. Tried mnnv doctors and thintrs with no last- ing benefit. In Way, '72, becoming nearly worn out with expensive ruitonal labors on a I paper iu New York City, I was attat-ked with Bronchitis in a severe form, sunVriiiK almost a total loss of voice. I returned home here, but had been home only two weoks when I was completely prostrated with Hemorrhage from the Lungs, having four severe bleeding spells within two weeks, ana jtrsttnre.e insiae oj nine aatn. In the September following, I improved sulli-ciently to be able to be about, though iu a very fgeble state.

My Bronchial trouble remained and the Catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Every effort for relief seemed fruitless. I seemed to be losing ground daily. I continued in tlii feeble state, raising blood almost daily until about the first of March, '73, when I became so bad as to be entirely confined to the house. A friend suggested your remedies.

But I was extremely skeptical that they would do me good, as I had lost all heart in remedies, and began to look upon medicine and doctors with disgust. However, I obtained one of your circulars, and read it carefully, from which I came to the conclusion that you understood your business, at least. I finally obtained a quantity of Dr. Safe's Catarrh Remedy, vour Oolden Medical Discovery and Pellets, and commenced their vigorous use according to directions. To niy surprise, soon gau improve, xno xsi covery and Pellets, in a tfliort time, brought out a severe eruption, which continued for several weeks.

I felt much better, my appetite improved, aud I gained in strength and flesh. In three months every vestige of the Catarrh was gone, the Bronchitis had nearly disaDDeared.had no Coush whatever audi had entirely ceased to raise blood; and, con trary to tne expectation or some ot inv friends, the cure has remained permanent. 1 have had no more hemorrhage from the Lungs, and am entirely free from Catarrh, from which I had suffered so much and so long. The debt of jEfratitude I owe for the blessing I have received at your hands, knows no bounds. I am thoroughly satisfied, from my experience, that your me'dicines will master the worst forms of that odious disease Catarrh, as well as Throat and Lung Diseases.

I have recommended them to very many and shall ever speak in their praise. Gratefully yours, Vm. II. SPEXX'EK. P.

At Plymouth, the farmers plant less gram every year. One may ride several miles without seeing a single acre of Indian corn.

More attention to milk productions, vegetables, and fruit, is given. Widow Phila Lambert of West Georgia, 50 year3 old. has for fifteen years supported eight children by laying stone wall, harvesting and other heavy farm work, and has not only made herself owner of a house and a few acres of land. but has given her children a good educa tion. The Prairie Farmer tells ns that the project of establishing a herd-book for the registry ot Berkshire swine nas at last been set on foot.

At a meeting of Berkshire breeders, held at Springfield, 111.. recently, measures were adopted to carry out tne enterprise. In writing to a friend in Manchester, Mr. John Ruskin adds the following as a postscript to his letter I wish it were known more generally that, for the last twenty years at least, 1 have been contending against all hope of reconciling art with tne smoke oi manufacture." A letter from Alexandria says that Col. Gordon is to be raised to the dignity of Pasha, with the Medjidie of the second class.

The Khedive nas expressed the utmost satisfaction at the progress he is making, and at his wise administration. The most loyal support is being afforded him by the Government. Mr. Robert Perrine, Patterson's Mills, Washington County, has sold to Samuel Archer, Kansas City, his entire lot of thoroughbred Merino lambs, thirty head, at fifty dollars per head, making $1,500 for the flock. This is said to tie one of the largest sales of spring lambs ever made west of the mountains.

A Paisley correspondent informs a Glasgow journal that at a meeting of a ceatain Paisley Club, recently, it was proposed as a rule that members of the club should each not have more than two children, for the reason that such a measure would tend ultimately to create scarcity in the labor market, and consequently ben-lit the working man." The Grange as a Reconstruction Agent. Politicians have been endeavoring at least they say so to reconstruct the Southern States, but their work has been futile, and to-day discord to a certain extent reigns in some ef the States. It is almost certain that politicians are a fail-tire in securing harmony among a distracted people. It is high time that "the people of the country look for some other agent to work this pacification between the op posing elements in the United States. It would seem that the Grange is to be this agent of bringing order out of chaos, of binding up and nealing the wound3 caused by the late civil war.

There were, October 1st, in the United States and Territories, 20,800 subordinate Granges, and their membership cannot fall short of 832.000. As these members are bound bv the same ties throughout the country, and are work ing ior me same interest, they should bring about unity in the land. Other combinations oppose them, which will have the effect to unite the Patrons of Hus bandry. At tne present time the Grange Knows no or South. East or West Republican and Democrat, blue coats and gray coats, Northern and Southern meet in the Grange, and are lost in each other.

These names are not known. The Rural Carolinian says Brothers of the North and West, come down South and visit our Granges. We know our people, and we know what we say, when we promise you, not merely friendly greeting, but a warm, cordial, brotherly welcome." The same feeling of brotherly love Is felt in the West and North. Those that emigrate to the South should be Patrons of Husbandry from the North. The South would then become more prosperous, and its resources fully developed.

Midland Farmer. A live Grange. A brother writes, Our Grange is a live one." Only six little little words, but now significant. They set ns to thinking, are too many dead granges too many that have just enough vitality to keep them alive, and none to spare. These hang like an incubus upon the body of the great reform, dragging it downward and impeding its progress.

There are rash Grangers, impetuous Grangers, indiscreet Grangers, but the worst of all is the dead Grange, for it sends forth from its carcass the foul odors of decomposition, and fills the moral air around it with its festering breath, and men avoid it as they woul3 contagion stseif. Reader, is your Grange alive one? If not, what killed it? Is there vitality enough in it yet to restore it, to preserver its life How many live members have, you? Go to work with -renewetl zeal. Fan the little flame, if there is one. Infuse new life Into dead members, and the next time you write to ns, say "Our Grange is a live one." There may be live Granges with dead members in them, but there can be no dead Granges with live members in them. A half dozen live, vigorous, energetic.

persevering Grangers will keep any Grange in the country in an energetic condition, and are worth a whole regiment of cold, lukewarm, half-and-half jnedbers, Ohio Farmer. V'JSSl vewT? cLtr 11 I i- 1 A.N.K..8.L..
