BEAUTIFUL GRANDMAMMA.
Grandmamma sits in her quaint arm-chair;
Never was lady more sweet and fair;
Her gray locks ripple like silver shells,
And her own brow its story tells
Of a gentle life, and peaceful even,
A trust in God and a hope in heaven.
Little girl May sits rocking away
In her own low seat, like some winsome lay;
Two doll babies her kisses share,
And another one lies by the side of her chair;
May is fair as the morning dew,
Checks of roses and ribbons of blue.
"Sav. grandmamma," says the pretty elf;
"Tell me a story about yourself.
When you were little, what did you play ?
"Was vou good or naughty the whole long
day?
Was it* hundreds and hundreds of years a^o?
And what makes your soft hair as white as
snow ?
"Did you have a mamma to hug and kiss?
And a dolly like this, and this, and this?
Did yon have a pussy like my little Kate?
Did Vou go to bed when the clock struck
eight?
Did you have long curls and beads like mine?
And a new silk apron, with ribbons fine ?"
Grandmamma smiled at the little maid.
And, laying aside her knitting, she said,
'"Go to my desk, and a red box you'll see;
Carefully'lift it, and bring it to me."
So May put her dollies away, and ran,
Saying, "I'll be careful as over I can."
The grandmamma opened the box, audio!
A beautiful child, with throat like snow,
Lip just tinted like pink shells rare,
Eyes of hazel, and golden hair,
Hands all dimpled, and teeth like pearls?
Fairest and sweetest of little girls.
"0 ! who is it?" cried winsome May;
"How I wish she were here to-day !
Wouldn't I love her like everything!
Wouldn't I with her frolic and sing!
Say, dear grandmamma, who can she be?."
"Darling, said grandmamma, "that child
was me."
May looked long at the dimpled grace,
And then at the saint-like, fair old faoe.
"How funny!" she cried, with a smile and
a kiss,
"To have such a dear little grandma as this!
Still," she added with a smiling zest,
"I think, dear grandma, I like you best."
So May climbed on the silken knee,
And grandmamma told her history ;
What plays she played, what toys she had,
How at times she was naughty, 6r good, or
sad.
"But the best thing you did," said May,
"don't you see?
Was to grow a beautiful grandma for me."
New Enow-Nothings.
The recent publication of a letter from
John Y. Foster, a New Jersey editor, to
ex-Speaker Blaine touching the tenets
and purposes of a secret order known as
the 0. A. U., having caused a great deal
of comment, the New York Herald has
investigated the subject with its accus?
tomed thoroughness, and publishes two
pages about the result. It. reports that
the cabalistic initials stand for the Order
of the American Union, an organization
having for its aim political opposition to
Roman Catholics, particularly with refer?
ence to the school question. The Herald
says:
"The order is. believed to be in the
hands of Grant and Blaine. E. Cowles,
from Cleveland, member of the National
? Executive Committee, which met at the
St. Nicholas Hotel last week, went to
Washington last Thursday night to ini?
tiate Blaine and talk with the President.
Grant will be run by the order for a
third term, as a political necessity.?
Most of tbe men employed by the Gov?
ernment in the post offices and custom
houses are believed to be members of the
Order. Plenty ot money has been ob?
tained to carry out the operations. Chief
Justice Dunn, of Arizona, was removed,
it is alleged, by command of the Ameri?
can Union, because he wa3 a Papist. It
is also said that Tom Murphy, of New
York, was asked to resign the Colleetor
ship for the same reason, but of this there
is good reason to doubt."
MEMBERSHIP AND ORGANIZATION.
The total membership th roughout the
country at present is said to be 76,811.
The largest number in any one State is
found in the State of New York, the
strength of the Order being 21,217. New
York State bas forty-three Councils;
Ohio, twenty-one; New Jersey, nine?
teen ; Illinois, sixteen; Pensylvania,
thirteen ; Connecticut, 6even; Maine,
four; Vermont, two; New Hampshire,
three; California, five; Michigan, seven;
aud the Order is increasing rapidly in
every State. Hundreds are being initia?
ted every day. There are subordinate
bodies or lodges, for the purpose of
spreading membership. To become a
member of the Order one must be pro?
posed by an active member in good
standing in the Council. His name is
. handed over to a committee who makes
the most searching inquiries about his
probable antagonism to, or sympathy for,
Romanism. If reported favorably by
them to tbe Council the candidate is bal?
loted for, and, if duly eleefted, initiated.
President Grant is a member of the Or?
der, having been privately initiated by
Special Deputy Edgar a few days before
he delivered military speech on the
school question at Des Moines. Ex
Speaker Blaine is the baby in the Order
having been initiated only a few days
ago, by Special Deputy E. Cowles, who
was sent by the Executive Committee
from the St. Nicholas Hotel last week to
Washington to perform the ceremonies.
The rallying cry of the American Union
is "Grant and the third term." No mon?
ey is needed, for it is understood that
plenty of it is coming from Washington.
SECRET PROCEEDINGS.
A detailed report of the ceremonies of
opening and closing a council and initia?
ting a candidate is given. The table,
which stands in the centre of the room,
is covered with the United States flag,
and on it is placed an open Bible. In
the ants-room a candidate is interrogated
as follows: I. Will you sup\.ort the con?
stitution of the 0. A. U. ? EL Are you
in sympathy with Hornau Catholicism ?
HI. Are you in favor of the Bible in onr
free schools? IV. Are you in favor of
our free school system ? V. Are you
opposed to sectarian schools, tbe Roman
Catholic in particular? VI. Are you
opposed to the division of theschool fund
for any sectarian purposes ? VH. Will
you pledge yourself to use your vote and
influence to retain the Bible in the pub?
lic schools and all other public institu?
tions? VIII. If admitted into this Or?
der American Union will you pledge
yourself to do your utmost to prevent the
election of auy Papist to any office of
honor or trust? IX. Do you'promise to
use all lawful means to advance the prin?
ciples of Protestanism ? X. Are you
willing to subscribe your name *.o the
truth of these declarations?
The answers proving satisfactory, the
Marshal says, "Then tarry here while I
make known your answers."
THE OBLIGATION TAKEN.
While the candidate enters blindfolded
and is conducted around the room the
members sing, "My Country 'Tis of
Thee." At the conclusion of the singing
the candidates are placed in front of the
altar, their right hands on the Bible.?
The President then administers the fol?
lowing oath:
"I,-, in the presence of Almighty
God and these witnesses, do solemnly
swear (or affirm) that I will support and
defend the Constitution of the United
States and of this State; that I will ob'ey
the Constitution and laws ; that I will
not knowingly vote for, recommend, nor
appoint, nor assist in electing or appoint?
ing a Romanist or Papist, or any person
sympathizing with the Romish Church,
to any political office of honor or trust
whatsoever; that I will oppose to the ut?
most of ray power all attempts to use the
public funds for any sectarian purpose
whatever, and will ever maintain the
great principle of one general, unsecta
rian tree school organization. That I
will not permit my children to bo
brought up in a Romish school of relig?
ious or secular instruction ; that I will
never propose, nor second, the proposi?
tion, nor initiate nor cause to be initiated,
into tbis Order A. U." any Romanist or
Papist, knowing him to be so; that I
will never reveal nor betray any secret
that may be entrusted to me in the work?
ings of this Order A. U., or that may be
entrusted to me by any brother of the
same; that I will never use any of the
signs, grips, words, passwords, or other
mysteries of 0. A. U., whereby aoy knowl?
edge of it may be known to "the uninitia?
ted. All this I voluntarily promise, de?
clare and swear, without hesitation or
mental reservation. So help me God."
All the members of the Council then
repeat the following words: "To perpet?
uate the American Union ; to oppose the
power of the Church of Rome; to sustain
our free, unsectnrian schools ; to oppose
appropriation of public money for secta?
rian purposes ; to oppose the election of
Papists to political office?to all of which
I pledge my life, my fortune and my sa?
cred honor. So help me God." \
grips, signs a icd passwords.
After this the members are seated, but
the newly initiated are placed in front
of the President's chair, who delivers to
them a charge descriptive of the purposes
of the order, and gives the following in?
formation as to its secret workings:
"Now I will proceed to instruct you in
the workings of our order, known under
the name of the Order of American
Union, known only to its members, and
you are never to reveal it to outsiders.
Its primary bodies am called councils.
Tbis is one of them, and is known as
Bunker Hill Council, No. 20. The State
bodies arc known as 'Legislatures/ and
the national body, is known as the'United
States Senate.' We have grips and pass?
words, sign i of recognition and signs of
distress. The sign of recognition is by
carelessly plucking at your hair with
your right hand. Then throw it off side?
ways. If answered correctly in the
same way by the challenged party, you
say, 'Have we met before?' The an?
swer will be, 'An American citizen trav?
els extensively. I have been over a
great part of this Union. Where do you
reside?' 'In American Union, Bunker
Hill Council, No. 20, State, city and
county of New York." Wt have also
signs of distress ; if you can be seen, the
sign of recognition serves as the signal of
distress; if not seen, you give three raps
with feet, or hands, first one and then
two in quick succession, or by calling out
three times at the top of your voice,
The shield! the shield I the shield V
"To gain admittance into this or any
other sister Council you give one rap at
the outer door and the first part of the
password to the outside sentinel. He
will admit you into the ante-room. At
the inner door you give three raps?first
one and soon follow with two more in
rapid succession. To the inside sentinel
you give the whole password. When ad?
mitted into the Council chamber you will
advance in front of the alter and salute
the presiding officer by running the index
finger upward the nose bridge and draw?
ing it back toward the right over the eye?
brow. The grip of recognition is by
clasping the right hand and entwining
the small fingers. If both of you are of
the same Council give one pressure with
the thumb; if a member of the Legis?
lature, two; if a member of the Senate,
three pressures. The password (which is
-whispered into the ear of the new mem?
ber) ending 31st December, 1875, is
'Gladstone.' Now you will proceed to
the Secretary's desk, sign the constitu?
tion, and take your Beat as a worthy
member of the American Union, Bunker
Hill Council No. 20."
The Herald says that the information
herein given is obtained from a source
that is believed to be trustworthy, and
all the documents given have been set
up by our compositors from original
Erinted copies as -used by the members,
t also gives a report of the adventure*
of a reporter who, by means of the pass?
word, &c, obtained admittance into a
Council and witnessed its deliberations.
All Sorts of Paragraphs.
? Hall's Journal of Health insists
that we should be healthier if we ate
more ouions.
? Said an Irishman : "It's a mighty
fiDe thing to be alone; especially when
your swateheart is wid y<3."
? Before marriage young ladies devote
themselves to fineries; after marriage
they have to think of groceries.
? Statistics are given to prove that of
the sum total of human misery, physical
and mental, women have to bear two
thirds.
? As a means of governing large cities,
the New York Sun thinks absolute uni?
versal suffrage may be pronounced a
failure.
? A negro boy was driven barefooted
on a cold day from the house of a farm?
er for whom he worked in North George,
New York. The boy's feet were so bad?
ly frozen that they bad to be amputated.
? A man in New Hampshire had the
misfortune recently to lose his wife.
Over the grave he caused a stone to be
placed, on which, in the depth of his
grief, he had ordered to be inscribed:
"Tears cannot restore her?therefore I
weep."
? He sat in a railway car. His head
was thickly covered with a mass of red
hair. Behind him in a seat sat a man
with hardly any hair on his head. He
said to him : "I guess you wasn't around
when they dealt out hair." "Oh, yes, I
was," replied bald head, "but they offer?
ed me a lot of red hair, and I told them
to throw it into the ash bin."
? The Constitution of Rhode Island
demands a property qualification from
all foreign-born citizeno who claim the
right to vote in that little State. At?
tempts have twice been made to abolish
this discrimination against foreign-born
citizens, but each time the proposition
was voted down by an overwhelming
majority.
? A remarkable instance of calcula?
tion was recorded at Aylmer, Canada,
where a barber named Johnson, for a bet
of fifty cents, ran under the cars of a
railway train that was passing at a rapid
rate of speed. He won the wager, though
he lost the heel of one boot by a wheel
that came unpleasantly close as be
emerged. The man who lo3tthe bet said
be had expected to win and get a couple
of dollars for attending the inquest.
? It isn't possible always to tell what
will break a man's heart and lead him to
commit suicide. The other day the jn.il
: er of Henderson County, Ky., shot him?
self because the sixteen prisoners he had
under his charge had broken out of jail
and made their escape. He left a note,
saying that he knew nothing of the pris?
oners' plan to escape, but knowing that
Eublic sentiment would be against him,
e wouldn't dare to face it, but preferred
making an end of himself.
Be BfAKLY.?Never try to keep out of
a man's way when you are owing hiin
anything, unless it is a thrashing. It is
bad enough, in all conscience, to be in
debt, but do not make your condition
worse by growing meaner under its press?
ure. When you absolutely cannot pay
up at the appointed time, don't make
him think you are sick. Don't skulk
about in any way street to avoid meeting
your creditor; don't go around the first
corner when you catch sight of him be?
fore he has peon you. All such conduct
is unmanly. No doubt you arc averse to
standing face to face with a man to
whom you are a debtor, pay-day past and
you are n debtor still?it i? mortifying,
very, but it is only one of the natural con?
sequences of borrowing, and ns you have
incurred the penalty, why meet it like a
man. Face your creditor, let him know
that you neither forget the debt or un?
derrate bis patience with you. Say
frankly that you are very sorry to see
him out of his money, and that you will
pay him ns fast and "as soon as you can.

Whereas there are outstanding certain
legislative pay certificates, treasurer's
bills payable, and claims passed by the
General Assembly, amounting in all to
about five hundred thousand dollars,

from a. field, all that is necessary is to
have one or more sheet iron chimneys,
some four or five feet high. Set fire to
the stump and place the chimney over it,
so as to give the requisite amount of

different sizes, the removal of stumps

J. N. ROBSON,

COMMISSION MERCHANT.
and
DEALER IN FERTILIZERS.
Charlkstox, S. C, November 1, 1875.
HAVING been engaged for twenty years
in the Guano Trade with eminent suci-ess, I
deemed it advisable to introduce Fertilizers
under my own name and guarantee. I have
made arrangements to have prepared a Guano
under mv inspectien and control, called
ROBSON'S COTTON AND CORN FER?
TILIZER. This Guano is of the highest
standard. It contai ns, among other valuable
ingredients, three percent, ol Ammonia, one
and a half per cent, of Potash, and fourteen
per cent, of Available Phosphate. I also
nave prepared for me a COMPOUND
ACID PHOSPHATE of the highest stan?
dard. These Fertilizers are compounded ol
the purest materials, and arc manipulated
and tested under the supervision Dr. St. J.
Ravenel, of this city whose name gives a
warrant for their high character and adapta?
tion for our soil. I offer these Fertilizers to
Planters on the following favorable terms:
Robson's Cotton and Corn Fertilizer,
Cash $44 per ton ; on time, $50.
Robson's Compound Acid Phosphate,
Cash, $23 per ton ; on timcj $33.
Planters ordering immediately will be al?
lowed to the first of April to decide which
they prefer, cash or time. An order for a
car" load of eight tons will be sent free ol
drayage; but for a less amount $1 per ton
wili be charged. On orders for large lots
from Grangers or dealers, a liberal discount
will be allowed.
I take this occasion to return my thanks
to those who have so largely patronized the
Fertilizers hitherto offered by me, and in so?
liciting their favorable attention to another,
I pledge my best efforts to meet a continu?
ance of confidence by keeping the highest
standard of Fertilizers adapted to cotton and
corn.
