Is tlio lionso turned topsy-turvy?
Does it rinji from street in roof?
Does the racket still continue.
Spite of ah your mild reproof?
Are you often in a llutter?
Are you sometimes thrilled with joy
Then 1 have my grave suspicions
That you have at home?tlmt Boy.
Are tiie walls and tallies hampered?
Are your nerves and ink upset ?
Have two eves, so liriulit ami roguish,
Made you every care forget?
Have your garden beds a prowler
Who delights but to desirov?
Those are well-known indications
That you have at houie?that Hoy.
Have you seen him playing circus?
With his head upon liie mat,
And his heels in mid-air twinkling?
For his audience, the cat?
Do you ever stop to listen.
When his merry pranks annoy??
Listen to a voice that whispers,
You were once just like?that Boy.
Have you heard of broken windows,
And with nobody to blame?
Have you seen a trowsered urchin
Quite unconscious ol' the same?
Don you love a teasing mixture
Of perplexity and joy?
Tou may havo a dozen'daughters,
But I Know you've got?that J Joy.

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

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,

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,

The Third Congressional District.
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. Such a decision !
would create a vacancy in the reprcKcii-j
tation, and necessitate a new .election i.'i;

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|{

I he wants to live tor is to pee Boyton 6ome;

Cabrots for Farm Stock.?My expert-,
ice in growing1 roots for stock has notj
sen very extensive, but hs far as it goes
is 6trongly in favor of raiding carrots. I
"efer them to sugar beets, rutabagas, or
to common lurnipy, ueuaut>u my uu-uio hk? -
iem a great deal belter, they are more
ltritious, are eunier to cut when wanted 2
ir food, and are saleable for other pur-]
yscF, when not wonted for cattle. They!
e excellent for horses, making them look i
ce and feel well. 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. To cut'
igar beets or rulabr.gas by hand powor |
pretty hard work, but with carrot* there
no trouble in this respect. If good ones ]
e grown thoy will frequently find a1
arket at a very roiYiunorativo price, either'
r table urte or for coloring butter. Forj
e latter purpose I have sold them at I
ices ranging from fifty cents to a dollar f

The Lest variety I h.wo ever grown is
oekin'e Vermont butter earret. This was ^
iginally one of the ehort7horn varieties,

the rate of 660 bushela per aero. This
