All through the day, O happy thrush!
1 hear thy music’s torrent gush:
Then comes the blackbird’s mellower lut e,
And merrily when both are mute
The robin sings;
But when the blue turns golden pale.
Hist! there’s a strange impassioned tale
Told by the Daulian nightingale
With dusty wings.
O magic music, linger still!
Echo from the furze-clad hill
Tosses back with semblance fine
The dreamy ecstasy divine,
• And ether rings;
But lo! through windows open wide,
To catch the breath of eventide,
Comes lovlier sound than aught beside—
May lady sings.

T»ie Order In Other state*.
Corner of Fremont and Mechanic Street,
jy—w4m GALVESTON, TE3
A co-operative store is soon to be
established at Ashton, near Dixon, 111.,
this winter.
The National Grange will meet in
the city of Louisville on the third
Wednesday of November next.
Officers of the Grange should always
rise to their feet when they deliver
lectures or give instructions to candi-dates.
Members of the Grange should club
together and order their fruit trees di-rect
from the nurserymen who grow
them.
Lee County, 111., Grange re com.
tnends that the county purchase suita-ble
grounds near Amboy for a median-leal
and agricultural fair.
At a meeting of Wharity Grange, No.
1245, of Cedar county, Mo., appropri-ate
resolutions of respect were adopted
by the Grange in memory of Sister C.
A. Brush, recently deceased.
There are at this date over 24,000
Giauges in the United States, with a
membership of about oue million and
a half. Missouri, Indiana and Iowa
have each over 2,000 Granges, and
Kentucky over 1,600.
At a regular meeting of Clay Grange,
No. 196, of Clay county, resolutions
of respect and condolence were adop-ted
in reference to the death of Rob’t
T. Groone, a worthy and valued mem-her
of that Grange.
At the last meeting of the Collins,
Colorado, Grange, the suggestion was
made that every one should commit to
to paper and send for publication their
ideas, no matter how crude, in order
to support with credit the agricultural
paper of the Territory.
If the-farmers hud that they cannot
profitably run co operative stores, they
will in all probability quit the busi
ness. In the meantime, it makes very
little difference what the enemies of
the Order have to say about it, as it is a
foregone conclusion that the Rochdale
plan is to have a fair test by the Pat-rons
of Husbandry.
The Son of the Soil, published at
New Orleans, says: Patrons must
learn the importance of making pur-chases
at the proper season—that is,
during the grinding season, October
and November, if they wish the lowest
rates. During these months they can
save from twenty-five to thirty-three
and a third per cent, over prices after
the grinding season has passed.
The Platte County, Mo., Register
states that the Grangers of Leaven-worth
are arranging to hold a fair at
Leavenworth, yet, this fall. The coun-ty
council of that county has taken the
initiatory step, and invited the citizens
of the city and the farmers of Missouri
to aid in the matter. The move is in
the right direction, and will doubtless
be seconded most heartily.
Grange picnics are largely on the-in-crease
everywhere, and chickens and
turkeys are learning to bow their heads
as Grange lecturers ride by.—National
Granger.
Such is the influence of all organiza-tions
that the ladies are connected with,
even the chickens are growing more
polite than they were in ante-Grunge
days. They may uot be any better cd-ucated
now, for at that time it is said a
white hat, seen even at. a distance, had
a magic effect in elevating their under-standings.
BUTT ICR MAKING.
First, there must be the right feed—
grasses or white clover, or other
equally good feed. The cow must be
right; some will make soft, white but-ter.
There must be cleanliness throughou
from the milking to the eating of the
butter, for milk, cream aud butter are
ever ready to absorb.
The temperature, for a'l that relates
to butter making, from the drawing of
the milk from the cow till the butter
is taken from .the churn, should be
about 60 degrees.
Skim the milk, which must be kept
iu a pure atmosphere, aud when it lie
gius to get sour, churn immediately or
soon after.
Churn rather slow, and take butter
at once out of the churn, and as soou
as gathered churning more slowly so ar
not to hurt the grain; aud keep in th,
butter howl only as long as is necsssary,
else there will be a wooden taste ini-parted.
Avoid all rooms, in the setting of
your milk, that have smoke in them,
or any odors; the milk is as sure to
absorb as it comes in contact with them,
and it will never give up an odor;
neither will the cream or butter.
Salt to suit taste, or an ounce of
salt to a pound of butter will do.
Work the butter slowly and careful
ly till the buttermilk in all out, then
stop. It may be done with pure, cold
water.
Butter made in this way is a new
article comparatively. It is so much
the more excellent than even the supe-rior
make that we get that it seems al-most
another thing.—Cor. Indiana
Farmer.
SHEEP ITEMS.
In an agricultural convention at
Dalton, Ga., a gentleman called upon
all present who owned sheep and no
dogs to rise, and thirteen rose up. He
then called upon all who owned dogs
and no sheep to rise, aud sixty to sev-enty
responded.
The sheep raisers of New Mexico
employ goats as leaders to their herds
of sheep, because they understand a
person’s voice so well, and will come
whenever they are called. The goats
have to be trained, and the sheep will
follow them.
A sheep grower of Chataugua coun-ty,
Kansas, who has been iu the busi-ness
for five years, informs the Sedan
Journal that he has never had to dip
his sheep in tobacco or trim their hoofs,
as they are not troubled there with
either the foot rot or the scab.
A King without any Nonsense iu
Him.
[From a Letter of Mr. D. E. Hoiton, in the
Milwaukee Wisconsin.
As we returned to the Western
front of the palace, the King and
some of his friends were standing on
the porch. He recognized Mr.
Damfeldt from across the wide
graveled walk, by lifting his hat to
him; whereupon Mr. D. excused
himself to us aod proceeded to pay
his respects to the King. The
King in a sensible and friendly way
extended his hand to the Superinten-dent
of Agriculture and Commis-sioner
to the American Exposition.”
They conversed for a little time,
when the two decended the stair-way
and beckoned us to approach.
'What! was the King going to meet
us strangers? lie shook hands with
us in the same cordial manner that
(Governor Taylor would greet a eiti-zen
of Wisconsin calling upon him
at the capital. lie speaks English
fluently, and asked how we were
pleased with our journey iu Swoed-cn,
ifcc. Replying to his inquiries I
took an early oportnnity to thank
him for the part his gorvernment was
taking in our Centennial Exposition
lie replied, that in consideration of
the number ot Sweedes that have
gone to America,and the friendship
borne our government, it was hut
proper that Sweeden should take
part in the Exposition. I said to
him that his personal presence m
America, would be cordially wel-coined
by our people. He replied
that, that time could not now he,
and expressed regret that in his
earlier life, he had not accepted the
opportunity of visiting the New
World, but he intimated that it was
possible that he might send one of
his sons. Thus our conversation ran
on when he said:
“May I have the pleasure of intro-during
you to the Queen. Certainly.
Why not? Being here at
the King’s palace at Drottingholm,
on this exquisite afternoon,‘ and upon
the invitation of the King himself,
why not he introduced to the Queen?
The King leads the way through
the palace from its west front to the
lawn upon the east front, where the
royal family and their guests are en-joying
themselves in the shade of
the palace. The King directs aser-vant
to invite the Queen to join him,
when a sweet-faced woman, dressed
with charming taste, approaches,
and we are introduced to the Queen
of Sweden. She could speak Eng-lisli,
though not as well as the King.
She and my wife held some conver-sation,
while the King brought his
Minister to Washington, Mr. Ste-venson,
(at present spending some
time in Sweeden), and introduced
him.
Oscar II, the present King of
Sweeden, is the grandson of Berna-dotte,
and has been upon the throne
hut three or four years. He is a
man about 46 or 47 years of age; is
tall and well formed. He is repre-sented
as a very abstemious and tern-perate
man in his habits—setting an
excellent example to his subjects in
his private character. So far as 1
can judge, his reign gives satisfac-tion
to the people, and all goes well
here in Sweden, so far as the gov-eminent
is concerned. There are
four sons, and the crown prince is
now a boy of some seventeen years
of age.

Alexandria, Va., October 4.—The
Gazettte says: The committee of ticket
holders, appointed to examine the
tickets remaining in the wheel after the
drawing of the Montpelier Female
Humane Association, last Friday morn-ing,
met this morning in the room of
the. Association, in which wheel, after
it had been closed and sealed, was de-posited
for safe keeping when the
drawing was over. As soon as the
wheel was seen, it was apparent that at
least a bushel of brass tubes, contain-ing
tickets, had been put iu since it
left the stand, for they were at least
ten inches higher than a mark that had'
been put upon the wheel previously by
one of the ticket holders, though the
seal was unbroken and had the same
stamps that had been put upon it pub •
lioly. They were those of the butt end
of a knife and a current gold coin,
which could easily have been put upon
new wax. In.an investigation ensuing,
it. was discovered that the arrangement of
the drawing had been entrusted solely to
parties from New York, and that all the
money arising from the sale of tickets, ex
eept some six or eight thousand dollars, had
been left in New York, and was not subject
to the draft of the officers of the association.
The parties present then appointed a com-mitt.
ee to proceed to New York and endeav-or
to recover just such of the money as
could be gotten hold of. After this they
adjourned, to meet again to-night. The ex-citement
on the streets, in consequence of
this discovery, was by no means limited,
and the subject was the topic of general con-versatlon.
It is believed that, not a single
dollar was drawn by any bone fide ticket-holder,
but that the whole of it has been
swamped Uy New York sharpers, who are
accused *f the whole fraud.
Giant Slieep,
From the Corpus Christ! Gazette.]
There was a lot of fancy English and
American bucks landed here last Sun-day,
intended for the flock of Samuel
Wolcott, iu Webb county. Two of
the improved Leicester breed weigli
respectively 195 and 201 pounds. Mr.
Wolcott’s Cotswolds, however, carry
a more valuable fleece than these giant
sheep. The demand for combing

Dissatlafaetlon In Cuba.
Washington, D. C. Oct. 3.—Information
lias been received here from Haflana which
9hows that there is a great deal of dissatis-faction
and uneasiness in Cuba among the
wealth}’ Spaniards at the prolongation of
the insurgents, from which immense dam-age
has resulted to the material interest of
the island, the injury being incalculable.
They have therefore united in a remon-strance
with the Spanish government against
tlie continuance of hostile movements, and
to suppress the insurrection, believing that
by a wise policy peace may be recovered
between the contending parties without
further bloodshed, but. did not succeed in
their afforts for reconciliation nor in getting
relief in that direction.
The same story comes from another source
which is said to be reliable, that these weal-thj^
Spaniards have either directly or indi-reetly
proposed to the Cuban Junta at New
York to co-operate with it in such measures
as may effect an accommodation between
the contending parties, but that the Junta
declined their overtures—declaring their
determination to continue the war until their
object in commencing it., viz, “the indepen
dence of 6’uba,” shall have buen secured.
There is no means of ascertaining the ex-pense
of the war on the part, of Spain fur-ther
than that forty millions of dollars were
expended for military porposes in one year.
In 1870-71, in Cuba, to say nothing of the
fleet of gun boats in the Cuban waters, the
same official sources say that the aggregate
force under arms exceeded one hundred
thousand men, more than half of which were
regular troops, ami that the losses of the
army exceeded eighteen thousand men.
The insurgent forces at that time did not
number more than six thousand of all tlieir
armies, and its revenue was of such vast ex
pense without corresponding results, that
the prominent Spaniards both in Cuba and
Spain, are anxious for the cessation of hos-tilit'ies,
but it is the opinion of a certain gen.
tleman at Madrid, as expressed in corres-pondence
from Spain, tnat the want of sta-billty
in the government and the prevalence
of civil wa* in Spain excludes a considers,
tion of tlie pacification of Cuba.

Texai a* Seen by tlie Netv York Sun
Very few people at the North
have any idea of the progress which
Texas is making in population and
wealth, through emigration from
other States and from Europe. Dur-ing
the year ending Sept. 1, the tide
of emigration was enormous. The
local agent at, Denison reports to
the State Superintendent of immi-graticin
that at the. points under his
immediate jurisdiction 52,368 had
arrived, bringing witii them horses,
mules, wagons, cash and other prop-erty
to tlie value of about $4,000,-
000. Besides these, there were ar-rivals
by way of the ferries on the
Sabine river, by the foreign steamers
at Galveston, and by other routes.
Tlie Superintendent, in his annual
report, claims that not less than
300,000 immigrants have settled in
Texas during the fiscal year just
ended. Tlie people of that State
also anticipate a large increase of
foreign immigration in consequence
of the success which has attended
the exportation of live stock to the
English market. A live stock traits-portation
company has been organ-ized
in England, which, by way of
experiment, shipped last spring over
two hundred horses and cattle by
steamer from Rockport lo Liver-pool,
and the venture resulted so
profitably that the company lias been
reorganized, the capital increased,
and it is now proposed to put eight
first class steamers in tlie trade. As
tlie company will rely mainly on
their transportation of stock" for
their profits, they will be able to
bring out emigrants at a very low
rate. The natural advantages of
Texas are very great; and now that
it has freed itself from the domina-tion
of the Grant officials, who
nearly bankrupted it by their job-bery
and extravagance, there is e*ery
reason to believe that it will contain-ally
increase in prosperity.
A farmer on Rock Creek, Cowley
county, Kas., bought 900 sheep one
year ago, at $2 per head. This sum-mer
lie sold the wool from them for
$2,000, and has 500 lambs besides.
Sheep aeed but little care inthiscli-mate,
cost nothing to feed, and are a
great profit.
