Worthy Master, Brother and Sister Patrons: This is the evening selected by you for your humble writer to attempt, in her own feasible manner, to read something for your entertainment. I assure you it is with great reluctance that I appear before you this evening for that purpose—feeling my incompetence, but nevertheless, I will endeavor to perform the task allotted me to the utmost of my ability. As members of this order let us study well our interest therein. As a Grange we are bound together by all the sacred tips of brotherly love. There should be a chain of affection around each heart that time could never tarnish its brightness nor hardness of blows sever its links.

Never, since man has fallen from the plastic hand of his Creator, has there been success in any business without punctuality and strict attendance thereto.

Never, since man has fullen from the plastic hand of his Creator, has there been success in any business without punctuality and strict attendance thereto. Let me insist, brothers and sisters, that we all be present at every meeting—unless it be from unavoidable hindrance—and cultivate that harmony and kind affection that should exist between brothers and sisters. Let me urge you each and every one, to go boldly forth and battle hard and strong to maintain the rights of our Order. But a few more trying struggles and we shall behold the bright dawning of the day of our supremacy. The morning star now brightens our Eastern sky, and we shall soon see daylight peeping o'er the hills. Permit me to impress upon your minds, my brother patrons, the importance of your vocation.. Your calling is a high and an ennobling one. You are enlisted in one of the grand armies of earth, and now look well to your sabres, that the brightness be not sullied. Fight onward, ever onward, with all the firmness of a noble warrior. View for one moment the grand intellects that are working in our cause! The noblest minds and the purest hearts that God has ever placed on earth have espoused our cause, and are working firm and steady in our ranks. Now another clean, white page in life's great book is spread out before us, what shall our record there-on be? Shall it be covered with blemishes, at which we shall ever blush in after years? or shall it be covered with noble deeds of good works that shall ever stand on the records of time, as if they were carved on tables of stone? Let this year's work be one that generations to come shall look back upon with gratitude for the noble deeds done by us for their good as well as ours. We should strive day by day to add something to our store of knowledge, that will ever be beneficial through coming years. We have each been endowed with intellect capable of indefinite expansion. Of cold winter evenings, brother patrons, sit not lily down by your fire-sides, folding your arms, as if you expected to be borne on golden wings o'er life's tempestuous sea; but always select you some good work and let your minds dive deep into the truths that therein lie. Improve the intellect and you purify the heart, extend the morality and elevate the man to the position he should hold. Great mental exertion is the only means through which progression is ever reached. The great Divine has seen proper, in his wise dispensation, to commit talents to all of our keeping.

Man has ever claimed a precedence in everything since the fall of Adam; but I here boldly affirm that woman holds a sceptre and wields an influence for good that man never can assume. She goes not holdly forth to the battle-front nor stands she proudly up in the senatorial hall to pour forth her eloquence there, but at the home-fire-side and in the society in which she moves she does her noble work, and writes her indelible impressions on the minds and hearts of those surrounding her. Sisters, we have a noble mission! Ours it is to pour the balm of consolation into man's bitter cup; when he mildly cries there none can heal! Let disaster upon disaster come to man—and when woman turns her smile upon him, and speaks her kind word in due season, all passes quickly by, as but a flower of yesterday. At the home-fireside we have a task to perform. Right there is moulded the character of the coming generation. The wise Solomon has truly said—"That just as the twig is bent the tree is inclined;" and it might be well for us to remember that he has also said, "Spare not the rod for you will spoil your child." Now, sisters, as we have the counsel of one so wise as he; let us hearten thereto. We should be careful that the earliest precepts instilled into the minds of the young should be pure and noble in character and lasting as time in impression. NETTE B. CURTXEC.

The well in Louisville, Ky., is 2,068 feet in depth; the bore sank for Belcher's sugar refinery in St. Louis penetrated 2,200 feet, while that excavated for the Insane Asylum in the same city reached the enormous depth of 3,843 feet, or in that locality, 3,000 feet below the level of the sea. This would give a water pressure at the bottom of 1,293 pounds to the square inch. A bore in the old world is deeper than the one last mentioned by several hundred feet. It is situated in the village of Sperenhurg, some twenty miles from Berlin. The government, in order to obtain a supply of rock salt, began the sinking of a shaft 16 feet in diameter. At a depth of 250 feet salt was reached, but excavations were continued, the diameter being reduced to 13 inches for 4,191 feet, at which point work was discontinued, the bit still remaining in the salt deposit, which thus exhibits the prodigious thickness of 3,970 feet. At Alrie, in Artols, France, a well, bored over a century ago, has since then flowed steadily; the water rising 11 feet above the surface at the rate of 250 gallons per minute; and at Lille, in the same country, one well has yielded a continuous stream since the year 126. This fact, coupled with that of the large amount delivered, renders the artesian well of the greatest value for the irrigation of desert plains. MISCELLANEOUS. The ice crop of the Hudson is said to be worth more than the wheat crop of New York State. The Heathron Chinco has located in Boston and opened a laundry. He charges eighty cents for a dozen pieces. A decree has been issued by Emperor William preventing the exportation of horses from Germany. Gen. James Longfrestill has bought a farm in White county, Georgia, and proposes to engage largely in sheep mising. The song of the Washington pounch—"I want to be a lobby man and in the lobby stand, with brass upon my forehead and green backs in my hand." "Speaking of inferences," said Judge Lord of Boston, "when we see a couple at the Charlestown Navy Yard, we infer, not that there is to lie a war, but an election." Advisors from Buenos Aires state that the palace of the Catholic Archbishop In that place has been macked and the houses of the Jesuits set on fire. A woman at Tiffin, Ohio, fell and broke her arm, but she refused two offers of assistance because the men were stranglers to her and there was no one around to introduce them. Among the California appropriations of the Sundry Civil bill are $291,000 for the Coast survey, $70,000 for public lands survey, and $5,000 to reopen and prosecute the McGarrahan case. The Baltimore American given an The King of Shirts.—S. N. Moody, of New Orleans, who died recently by his own hand, while suffering from an intolerable neuralgic attack, was a singular man. He prospered when Louisiana was as poor as a rat. The secret of his continued success was advertising. He knew how to advertise, and the duller the season the more persistently he kept himself and his wares before the public. He was known as the "Shirt King of the Southwest." On every dead wall and on nearly every telegraph pole, in the Mississippi valley, the way-farer was invited to "get his shirts at S. N. Moody's." He was a most liberal patron of the daily press, and by a thousand ingenious devices, and in spite of tremendous opposition, he died, as he lived, the super-eminent and pluperfect "King of Shirts." Such was his faith in the necessity of captivating the fancy of the people, and winning their attention, that it was seriously declared in New Orleans, years ago, he offered $50,000 to help pay for a new steamboat intended for the St. Louis trade provided he had the napping of the craft. His offer was promptly accepted, but almost as suddenly declined when it became known that "Get Your Shirts at Moody's" was to be the baptismal appellation. Col. Moody was a thorough business man, but he lived in elegance and had many warm friends. It may not be a sublime ambition to secure a sort of immortality in connection with the nether garment of a man; but out of that common and not to-be-despised article of wear, Moody became a rich merchant, lived on prince, and gave his children a first-class education; backed up by all the advantages of foreign travel.—Augusta Constitutionalist. A Legal Wag.—Judson T. Mills, of South Carolina, was judge of a district court in Northern Texas, fond of a joke, but very decided in his discharge of duty. Thomas Fannin Smith was a practicing lawyer at the bar, and having shamefully misstated diameter being reduced to 13 inches for 4,191 feet, at which point work was discontinued, the bit still remaining in the salt deposit, which thus exhibits the prodigious thickness of 8,070 feet. At Alrie, in Artools, France, a well-bored over a century ago, has since then flowed steadily, the water rising 11 feet above the surface at the rate of 250 gallons per minute; and at Lillers, in the same country, one well has yielded a continuous stream since the year 1126. This fact, coupled with that of the large amount delivered, renders the artesian well of the greatest value for the irrigation of desert plains. Some seventy-five shafts have been sunk in the Desert of Sahara, yielding an aggregate of 600,000 gallons per hour. The effect of this supply is said to be plainly apparent upon the once barren soil of the desert. Two new villages have been built and 150,000 palm trees have been planted in more than 1,000 new gardens. Water, it is stated, is reached at a very slight depth, in some cases hardly 200 feet.

Mills, of South Carolina, was judge of a district court in Northern Texas, fond of a joke, but very decided in his discharge of duty. Thomas Fannin Smith was a practicing lawyer at the bar, and having shamefully misstated the law in his address to the jury, and asked the judge to charge the jury accordingly the judge was indignant, and replied: "Does the counsel take the court to be a fool?" Smith was not abashed by the reproof, but instantly responded: "I trust your honor will not insist on an answer to that question, as I might in answering it truly, be considered guilty of contempt of court." "Fine the counsel ten dollars, Mr. Clerk," said the judge. Smith immediately paid the money, and remarked: "It was ten dollars more than the court could show." "Fine the counsel fifty dollars," said the judge. The fine was entered by the clerk, and Smith, not being able to respond in that sum, sat down. The next morning, on the opening of the court, Smith arose, and with much deference of manner began: "May it please your honor, the clerk took that little joke of yours yesterday about the fifty dollars as serious, as I perceive from the reading of the minutes. Will your honor be pleased to inform him of his error, and have it erased?" The coolness of the request and the implied apology pleased the judge, and he remitted the fine. THE CHARITOR WHENA—Long ago, during the Millerite fever, when ascending robes were in order and all were listening for christian wheels, a good couple had retired one night—the man somewhat visionary, but his wife practical enough. In the club of a midwinter night he awoke, hearing a slight noise, and gently nudged his sleeping partner. "Wife, I hear the charistion wheels coming." "Life still, John, you old fool. The Lord would not come on wheels, with such a good sleighing." himself that the angel of bliss and the dove of peace swung on the door-knobs and turned handsprings through every room. And yet yesterday no man's voice was heard calling out: "June, oh June—them pertater has bled dry! Come here! blast ye come in!" And she was heard replying: "Glt man take the kettle off; you old noodle-head, and don't blast me! I'll break another rib for you." A gentle husbandless creature in St. Louis writes to a lawyer who advertised that he would provide companions for unmarried persons: "Mr. dear Mr. — This is to certify that I am a widow with thirteen children born, and have had three husbands each of which died in peace in his own way. I have a small farm near this city, and would take another husband yet, if I could find a young one; no old, bull-headed sardine need apply he will not be taken in. Ten dollars will be given you to produce the man." A Wisconsin schoolboy handled in the following composition recounting his go to school to learn to read and write and siphon to slide on the ice and trail off an old wife if I have one in summer to pick wild flowers and strawberries and to get out of work hot days, some boys has to go to school to get out of their mother's rode, but I would rather stay in winter than go two miles and set by a cold stove and freeze my time. I like to go to school to see the teacher scold the big girls when they out up. Some goes to school to fool but I go in study when we are old we can't go in school and then we'll feel sorry that we fooled when we was young and went to school. I don't get no time to fool anyway for I have enough to do when it comes to my gogography." We understand that Gen. Boudike has his dredging machinery in good running order, and that the work of progressing liness, with no interruption except the occasional breaking of a chain. Gen. Davidson gives us information as to two points which we think are of interest. He says in making the channel the necessary depth, the scoop removes all the sand and reaches a species of stiff mud that will not wash. He has also observed that the water is perfectly clear when the tide is flowing in, but when it is going out, the water is thick with sand. This shows that the drifting sand all goes seaward. These facts, we think, add greatly to the encouraging aspect of the harbor enterprise—Wilmington Enterprise.
