Statistics of the Order?A Reform Movement Inaugurated. A correspondent writing in regard to the meeting of the National (J range, in Louisville, Ivy., gives some statistics ol the order, as follows: At present, in the order there is a to tal of 42 State, and Territorial giarges, and more than 24,<>00 sub-granges, com prising a membership of about l,4."}0,ut)0 persons. This is an increase of 2,(100 granges, and in the neighborhood ol 130,0U0 members, over 1874. The work of the order in the future will consist more in consolidating and strengthen ing those grange;:, already in existence than in organizing new ones, inasmuch a* the territory in this country is pretty well covered. * The followingis a list of the number of granges in aeh .State in 1S75, as copied from the official returns : Alabama G7M; Mississippi 603 Arkansas 63<)[Missouri 2,032 California 263Montana 29 Colorado, 6!)!Nebraska 020 Connecticut 16!Nevada 15 Dakota 50 New Mamshire 01 Delaware 22NcwJcs.sey 93 Florida 147,New York 31s Georgia 705 North Carolina 535 Idaho 10Ohio ..1,205 Illinois 1,589jO rego n J 85 Indiana 2,033| Pen n sy 1 van ia, 591 IndianTerritory Hi-South Carolina 350 Iowa .2.004' rcnnessec 1.891 Kansas 1,301 j Tex as 1,101 Kentucky 1,60S|Vermont 'JOT Louisiana 314 Virginia (> >"> Maine 183.Washington T (;<> Maryland 157jWest Virginia 20:; Massachusetts, 9!)I Wisconsin 51." Michigan (;ul, Minnesota o-10j Total 2.'!,92"> The total number of granges in exis tence in 1874 was 21,183. The receipts of the National Grange, for 1S73 were$229,633, ami tlie expendi tures $lS?,99o. It is estimated tiiat the Patrons have $18,000,000 cash capital in vested in their various enterprises, which include railroad and steamboat lines, banks, fire and lite insurance companies, cotton gins and mills, pack ing houses, flouring mills, elevators, grain warehouses, machinery manufac tories, shipping associations, foundries, tutiimi'Hx ohuuui f'.nttii'iiw nln The correspondent says: Among the rank and file a powerful reform movement lias been initiated, whose objects are as follows: Limitation of the power of the high er granges, reduction of dues and fees, and the return to members of all dan gerous surpluses; abolition of the high er degrees, or their throwing open to all members; simplification of the ritual. There are some men in the order, like the Grand Master, Adams, and Master Allen of Missouri, who desire to make the most of their class privileges, and to coereeinto silence and submission all people and papers that do not think and say precisely what they wish. They have set themselves against the people, and will be smashed. The order is at. u-^iiuvriuuu in us constitution. '1 litis the National Grunge was first made up of some govern incut clerks at Washing ton, and, as tlie order widened, the same little ring kept itself in the place to which it had elected itself. The la^t dodge was, when too many elective and representative members began to get into the National Grange, to create a Senate (Seventh Degree of Ceres.) Thus when a member of the ring was repudiated and retired from the Nation al Grange, instead of stepping down and out, he stepped up and in, becom ing a member of the Senate, without whose approval the action of the Na tional Grange was void. This was com ingita little too strong even for the simple and long sullering American farmer, and now the reformers insist that ali degrees above the fourth (the equivalent of Master Mason) be abol ished, or thrown open, so that any member of tlie order will be eligible to any office and can attend any of its de liberations. This they will surely carry. Last year the State granges almost unanimously rejected a very cheeky amendment proposing to make certain founders members of the National (irange for life; and so strong is the feeling that Master Allen, of Missouri, the hottest advocate of Granger aristoc racy, has been instructed by his grange[i to vote for grange rel'orm. The dues ami fees will also l?e reduced, and the surplus returned, so that the Grange will have no dangerous funds on hand. Jso simplification of the ritual is expect ed at present, but ultimately there will be but one degree in the order, the fea ture of secrecy?which shuts out the Catholics, Raptists, Quakers, and all' who are conscientiously opposed t<>j membership in secret societies?re moved, and the grange practically re- ? solved into a series of indipei.Jent country co-operative organizations, hav-[? ing a .State Grange merely for consulta-l, :? 1 .. -V--'! - <1 UWII ami UIIIIUIIUI^, JUIU ik ill ID11H1 I (irange, wlioliy inexpensive, and liini-:1 ted in its functions to being a nicro hu : reau of record.

A memorial sotting forth the facts of the recent Congressional election in this District, and urging its illegality, on the! ground, among others, that the District i is improperly constituted, in that it isj not composed of contiguous territory, will be presented at the next session of Conirress. Jtefore a Democratic Jlouscj of Representatives, there seems to bei but lillle doubl that the matter will rt-j ceive proper consideration, and the elec tion be declared void.

J THE WA'l'ti; . ;i;i ).A fOK. j When Coolly rpnd !ln* accounts of Paul I Boy ton V ex| iloit in swimming the English ! channel, it struck lilm that he could im ' prove a little on I>ivion's lil'e preserver. He said he had invented an apparatus ^ i with which a man could walk on the surface ^ of the water, and with a little practice glide ni ! over it with the velocity with which a fc | good skater skims over the ice. So he in- P' j vited a parly of us down to the river one ai day to see him operate the machine. At ni the appointed time he appeared with some- fr thing that looked like a small gunboat tu under each arm. Then he strapped one on ht tach foot, and we saw that the article was ol xbout four feet long, and ehaped like a pnaiiow t-cow. As li? prepared to lower himself over the edge of the whr.vf, hi askod us to designate i the point on the other side of the river at j which wo wished him to land. He said it j was immaterial to him whether he went one mile or fix, up stream or down, because ho ! could ju-st hop along over that river like a I dwullov.*. His genera! idea was to produce a revolution in navigation, and to make' men independent of steamers and other vessels when they desired to travel upon the wafer with rapidity. Then he dropped in'o the stream with his fcows, and steadied himself by holding j th on to the side of the wharf until ha was co l( o *' t Af tniil nUk rm:rl (ha omsri. th mcnt would begirt, and he 3truck out with bi his left foot. The front end of that par- tli ticulnr ecow ncn'tled under the water, and at a? he tried to pare himnelf with bis right is foot, the end of that ecow also dipped down, lo' and Cooley tumbled. ! th The nert minula he was hanging head T1 downward in tho river w>th nothing vwibla th to the spectators but the bottoms of two hi foiu'-i'oot gunboats. The patent apparatus b] pimply kept all the rest of him under water, in Then a .couple of mnn paddled out to him in gr a skill', and haulrd him in. Then we un- 1 ro bucklcd hie scows, took olf his clothes, and a rolled him over a vinegar ban-el to work ke the water out of him. In about an hour he pi ?amn to and nttcrina: a irroan, he eaid: ! cr ' Where sun IT' Si We explained to him. and lie askedi "What drowned me*" We told him that he was injured by an in atiempt to revolutionize navigation, and he demanded: j or "How d' I try to do it?" ! C1 We reminded him that he started for a 00 skim up tlio river, with n frigate Hod to rJ each foot, and then he a.?ked: ' P1 "Wnei-e in the thunder are them ma fhines?" : Y>"e showed them to him, and calling1 'r Ben Martin to him, he said faintly: j ln "Ben, I wish you'd cuss them things for ^ me. Cuss 'c>n vigorous, nnd then eplit 'em ex up into hin'lin'Tvoi.,1 f^r the poor. I'm too: ftn weak to do justice to the subject." j RP Then we look him home, and ho wa6 in j Ir|{ bed for a fortnight, ilesuye now that all I he wants to live tor is to pee Boyton 6ome; ' day go chuck to the boitom.

For milch cowe they are' ee from the objections which lis against j irnips, give a good appetite, promote ^ ;alth and digestion, increase the quantity] milk, and improve the appearance and < so the quality of tho butter.
