CONSTITUTION & BY-LAWS
Of tlie Order of
Patrons of Husbandry
OF THE
NATIONAL GRANGE,
Adopted at the Sixth Annual Seuion
of the National Orange, and In-corporated,
January, 1873.
PREAMBLE.
Human happiness is tbe acme Of
earthly amliilion. Individual hap-pfneaa
depends upon general pros-perity-.
The prosperity of a nation is in
proportion to the value of its pro-duction.
The soil is the source from
whence we derive all that consti-tutes
wealth ; without it we wonld
have no agriculture, no manufac-tures,
no commerce.
Of all the material gifts of the
Creator, the various productions of
tbe vegetable world are ol tbe first
importance.
The art of agriculture is the pa-rent
aud precursor of all arts, and
its products the foundation of all
wealth.
The productions of the earth are
subject to the influence of natural
laws, invariable and indisputable;
the amount produced will conse-quently
be in proportion to the in-telligence
of the pioducer, and suc-cess
will depend upon his knowl-edge
of the action ot these laws.and
the proper application of their prin-ciples.
Hence, knowledge is the founda-tion
of happiness.
The ultimate object ot this organ-ization
is for mutual instruction
and protection, to lighten labor by
diffusing a knowledge of its aims
and purposes, expaud tbe mind by
tracing the beautiful laws the Great
Creator has established in the Uni-verse,
aud to enlarge our views of
Creative wisdom and power.
To those who read aright, history
proves that in all ages society is
fragmentary, and successful results
of general welfare can be secured
only by general effort. Unity of
action cannot be acquired without
discipline, and discipline cannot be
enforced without significant organ-ization
; hence we have a ceremony
of initiation which binds ns in mu-tual
fraternity as with a band ot
iron ; but although its influence is
so powerful, its application is as
gentle as that of tbe silken thread
that binds a wreath of flowers.

The Liquor Trade.—The organ of
the liquor interest in New York has
taken pains to collect and group all
the facts connected with the trade
in this country. The amount of tax
on spirits collected by the United
States in 1872 was •49,475,516.36.
This represents about 100,000,000,-
gallons, worth at wholesale
885,000,000. This aggregates a
money interest of over $400,000,000.
The beer trade pays a tax to the
Government of »8,573,49M0. This
represents a retail value of over
$212,000,000, which, added to the
value of the article to the manufac-turers,
represents a money interest
of aboat $300,000,000. The wine
trade represents and interest of
$75,000,000. The import trade of
liquors, beer, and wine represents a
retail value of liquors of $27,000,-
000; of beer, $2,800,000; of wines,
$135,000,000, or a total of nearly
$165,000,000. Added to all this,
the capital invested in buildings and
machinery, etc, together with the
expenses connected directly aud in-directly
with tbe trade, the footing
is at least $1,500,000,000.
" Mr. Speaker," exclaimed a mem-ber
of the Arkansas Legislature,
"my colleaguei taunts me with a de-sire
for fame. I scorn tbe imputa-tion,
sir. Fame, sir I What is famel
It is a shaved pig with a greased
tail, which slips through the hands
of thousands and then is accidental-ly
caught by some fellow that hap-pens
to hold on to it I let this greas-ed-
tail quadruped go by me without
an effort to clutch it, sir."
Mark Twain's Tribute to
Woman.
At an annnal banquet of tbe
Washington Correspondents' CInb
the following toast was read:
Woman: The pride of the profen-sions
and the jewel of nan.
To which Mark Twain responded
a« follows:
Human intelligence cannot esti-mate
what we owe to woman. She
sews on buttons, she ropes as in at
the church fairs, she confides in us,
tells whatevershe can find out about
the little private affairs of oar neigh-bors,
she gives as a piece of ber mind
sometimes, and sometimes all of it
In all relations of life, sir, it is a just
and grateful tribute to say of her
she is a " brick I"
Wherever you place woman, sir,
in whatever position or estate, she
is an ornament to the place she oc-cupies,
snd a treasure to the world.
Look at the names of history! Look
at Desdemona! Look at Looretia
Borgia 1 Look at mother Eve I I
repeat, sir, look at tbe illustrious
names of history! Look at Eliza
beth Cady Stanton ! Look at George
Francis Train! And, sir, I say with
bowed head and deepest veneration,
look at tbe mother of Washington 1
8he raised a boy that could not lie;
bnt he never had a chance It might
have been different if be had belong-ed
to a newspaper correspondents'
club.
[Mark looked around placidly up-on
his excited audience, and resum-ed:}
I repeat, sir, that in whatever po-sition
yon pat a woman, she is an
ornament to society, and a treasure
to the world. As a sweetheart she
has few equals, and no superior. As
a wealthy grandmother with an in-curable
distemper, she is gorgeous.
As a wet nurse, she has no equal a-mong
men. What, sir, would tbe
people of the earth be without wo-men
t They wonld be scarce, sir, al-mighty
scarce! Then let ns give her
our support, our sympathy—our-selves
if we get a chance.
But jesting aside, Mr. President,
woman is lovable, gracious, kind of
heart, beautiful, worthy of respect,
of all esteem, of all deference. No
one here will refuse to drink her
health right cordially, for each and
every one of us has personallyknown,
loved and honered the best of them
all—his own mother.
Bret Harte.
Some ten years ago, Thomas Stan-
King, then unknowingly near the
end of bis short bat noble and glow
Ing life, was guiding an acquain-tance
t h rough the dingy .gold-strewn
recesses of the Government Mine
building in San Francisco. Paus-ing
before entering the Secretary's
little office, be said:
" Now I want you to meet a young
man who will be heard of far and
wide some of these days. Tbe visi-tor
went in and was introduced to
Francis Bret Harte, then Secretary
of tbe Branch Mint We all know
how tbe later career ot the young
writer has more than justified the
affectionate prediction ofStarrKing;
for, since that day, Bret Harte's
fame has, to borrow tbe language of
bis admiring German translator,
"extended from the coasts ot tbe Pa-cific
Ocean to the English coast of
the North Sea." " His works have
drawn hearts to him wherever the
language of Shakespeare, of Milton,
and Byron is spoken."—From Scrib-net3!

Thrilling Accident.
A telegram from Bedford Ga., to
the Atlanta Constitution, says:
" This afternoon, near this town,
the engineer of the down freight
train discovered a little child, about
two years old, on the railroad track.
The faces of the engineer and fire-man
blanched with terror as they
whistled " down brakes," and saw
that it was impossible to check tbe
train in ' time to save the merry
prattler, who stood astride the rail,
looking at the approaching train,
unconscious of danger, and a pleas-ing
light gleaming from his bine
eyes. The suspense seemed terri-ble,
and it is said that tbe hair
hair of tbe engineer is now streaked
with gray rrom tbe intensity of his
dread. The fireman, however, at
the risk of his owu life ran for-ward
on the engine, and leaping
from the cow catcher, grasped the
child and saved it from a terrible
death."
flow o Batchelor Bought a Wife.—
Mrs. Galhner, a widow, ot Detroit,
told an anctioneer one day last week
that she bad no flour or wood and
must go to the poor house. He told
ber she must get a husband, and
proposed to sell ber to tbe highest
bidder. She consented, and he im-mediately
drew a crowd by bis cry-ing
out, and tbe sale commenced
wish a bid of 43 cents. An old
bachelor named Joslyn speedily
raised it to $5, and then to $8, at
which figure she was struck off to
him. It was stipulated that there
should be a week's courtship, which
was faitfnlly carried, out, and at
the expiration of tbe time be married
her.
A Fow Thought* on Tobaooo.
Tha oVtsMswrw n—m 1*4,1-
Jan^baaaM»oWitoaai»earas»aataad
from it we make a few exUsssi:
BECaTPTS, DaTJCAKDa, *C
We hare to report large receipts
in all markets. Owing to the strin-gency
of the money marketa there
has been a slight decline is some
grades; more noticeable in common,
medium and nondeserlpta. Good
rich fillers and fine wrappers are in
demand at fine prices wears they
have been well handled and assort-ed
iu keeping order.
We urge planters to pat their
tobacco in nice keeping order, ta-king
care to have It wail ■seorted,
as we see so much that is so badly
assorted, many lots nicely tied and
uniform and then mixed. It wonld
certainly pay them well to aa
it by the bundle, joet as thsf-loeding
to market, patting different
lengths and colors together.
Our manufacturers are in need of
all grades of tobaooo and we would
sdvise farmers to bring in their
crops freely aa tbey are getting lolly
under way and will need large
quantities of all grades. There
sems to be a scarcity of fine waxy
fillers and wrapper in toe crop which
we have remarked for some time.
Such grades will command fine
prices all the season when brought
to market in nice order.
Shonld you find your tobaooo re-ally
soft, do what yoa oaa to put
it in safe keeping condition aa there
is a great glut of soft tobacco on all
markets.
CARE DURING THE WET WEATHER.
A word to my friends about this
long wet spell. Shonld yon have
all of your tobaooo joisted and hung
regular on sticks in the barn, I
think, if this wet spell continues it
would be well to try to" dry it oat a
little. Say get the heat from 90 to
100 degrees—I would not advise a
greater heat and that for only an
hour or two; if yoa have it in bulk
you had best cover it op to keep
oat tbe dampness, and when the
weather is clear and drying, uncov-er
and let the damp, foul air Mow
off, which, I think, would help a lit-tle
to keep the tobaooo in nice,
aweet condition. Should you find
it injured in the least, I wonld ad-vise
yon to take it to market. Yon
are all familiar with the looks of
dry, moulded tobacco and if yoa at-tempt
to do anything with it it will
make it look worse. I saw moulded
and injured tobacco bring fine prices
on tbe 6th of May. The Messrs.
Neal & Co. have a large snuff order
and moulded or injured tobacco an-swers
well for that purpose. Con-sequently
don't hesitate to take it to
market as soon as yon fiud that it
is the least injured, as I am satis-fied
they will do their best tor you.
A FARMER'S APPEAL TO GUILPORD
FARMERS.
Although Tobacco has been cul-tivated
to some extent for a num-ber
of years in the Northern portion
of Guilford county, its culture has,
until recently, attracted bnt little
attentionSouth of Greensboro-Grain
and tbe grasses, aided in a small
degree by a limited supply of fruit,
have been the sole reliance; while,
as a consequence of this unwise
course, gold and bank notes and
greenbacks have sought a "more
congenial clime."
When we reflect that in the State
of Virginia, immediately upon oar
borders; that in the counties of
Caswell, Person, Ac, in this State,
and that even in tbe adjoining
county of Rockingham, tobacco
has been for many years the chief
staple, and exclusively relied upon '
to bring money into those sections,
it is really surprising that we, the
farmers of Southern Gnilford, have
been so slow to discover that it is
equally available for ns. Truly we
have bad a "Rip Van Winkle
sleep," and I regard it aa a proper
occasion for mutual congratulation
that at last our eyes are open
''To see ourselves as others see as."
I am uot one of those who favor
innovation simply for the sake of
novelty; who are disposed to risk
mnch labor and capital upon
schemes of doubtful utility,or boast
that the mountain is in travail
when the probabilities are that she
will bring forth nothing but e con-temptible
mouse; but, when I
clearly see the golden prize in the
distance, I am willing, if needful, to
forsake the path of my fathers, rash
through the tangled wilderness, bid
defiance to every obetacle,and grasp
the sparkljng treasure 1
I believe, Mr. Editor, that the day
is not far distant when thia new
product—tobacco, new at least to
most of us—will telL not only upon
tbe prosperity of the surrounding
country, bat also upon that of the
city ot Greensboro. Let tbe farm-eis
of this community no longer be
canght napping upon this subject
but be up and doing. Then shall
our waste places be repaired, our
fortunes enhanced, our children ed-ucated,
out spirits made buoyant,
and old Gnilford become in wealth
and intelligence, what she deserves
to be—tbe leading county in the
State.

Remedufor Croup.—This remedy
is simply Alnm. Take a knife or
grater, and shave or grate oil in
small particles about a teaspoonful
of Alum ; mix it with about twice
the quantity of sugar or honey, to
make it palatable, and administer
quickly as possible. This will give
almost instant relief.
It Is a remarkable fact that the

is frantic to pat it in tbe postrofficc,
