Th2 Alliancs zp3sei SECRETS OF THE ORDER REVEALED TRIB ULATIOXS OF A CANDIDATE. OneMcKeever has been telling the editor of the Elberton, Ga., Star his experience in i lininsr the alliance. He 1 w seems to have had a rough time and will not take the other seventeen de grees. His story runs: k I made np my mind to join the al liance, and yesterday, donning my Sundav-go-to-nieeting clothes, repaired to the schoaL house where the order met, and sent in my application by a neighbor who was a charter member. In flue season the glad tidings were conveyed to me that I had been ballot ted for and accepted, aud boiling over with eager gratification, followed my conductor into the wood-room ad join ping the main building. Heie my guard made our presence known by picking up a section of a fence rail and rapping three limes en th" floor. This gentle signal was answered by three raps from within and the query: Who conies there? " "A horn v-handed son of toil, arro- ing in the darkness, and anxious to have the light or the alliance shed upon him," replied my guide. u Bie.ik down the barricade that stands between a Brother Farmer and light and admit the applicant, spoke a soiioroHS voice from within. Just at that instant the old door, winch had been removed from its hin ges, was kicked over and striking me on top of the head raised this lump von see here. I thought it was an ac- : cident at the time and so made up my mind to gnu and bear the pain. Two stout men stepped forth and violently seizing me by the arms, I was carried in to the middle of the main room I saw that the house was pretty well ' filled with spectators. Sitting on top ' of a cotton bale was the Grand Mogul 'of the order, as I afterwards learned, j On his right a section of rail fence had been built and astride this was sitting J another officer vn ith a pile of guano sacks under him which I lielieve was the Grand Secretary. I noticed that all ihe officers and their assistants were in their shirt sleeves, and wore jeans pants held up by one suspender each. These parties, I afterward learned, rep resented the poverty-stricken condition of the farmers. In one corner stood six-men, arrayed in their best store clothes and plug hats, and each had a feather pillow rammed into his pants to represent high living, who were to act as merchants. 1 had scarcely time to take a hasty glance around the room when a fellow stepped up and dashed about a pint of guano in my face, and before 1 bad time to wipe uiy eves or spit out the stuff, ray sight was ob scured by an old guano sack--that didn't smell by any means like the last rose of summer Ifeiug bound over my orbs of vision. I w.ts then led three times around the room and halted in front of the Grand Tycoon on the cot ton bale. " Benighted brother farmer, who hath been groping in darkness, the light of organized agriculturists is now about to break npon you " spake the Tycoon. "You ire now within the sacred precincts of the Farmer's Alliance, and in order to fix indellibly on your mind great truths, we will proceed to carry you through the or dealsif initiation. That handful of guano cast into your eyes is intended to show you the folly of an undue use of this ex jiensive commodity. A lim ited use of guano in the right place is proper; but you will not, I hope, soon forget the lesson taught you about its abuse. Now carry the benighted bro ther to the Grand Vice Tycoon for further instruction." was turned violently around, my guards released me, and I was told to go . . . m a . straightforward at a brisk trot. This. C7 m I did, but soon ran against a ten rail fe.ice that had lieen secretly built in mv path: in the fall I was skinned V .... to I wsts soon brought up standing again, the "guano sack removed from my eyts, ai.d I was carried before the fellow sitting on the pile of sacks. Wit h a look of pitying contempt this viee-tycoon spake to me thuslv Benighted brother farmer, seeking the light of truth, we administered to you the Fence Degree, in order to im press upon your mind that to be a pros perous farmer, it is necessary to avoid too close intimacy with a fence. It is the habit of too many farmers to sit m . n t ' astride a rail fence and watch a nigger work his crop. We trust that the les sou you have just learned will not le lost. The six well-dressed men you ee over in that comer represent the mercantile world, and we will proceed to administer to you what is known in the alliance as the Ox, or Ilewer of Wood Degree."' My guide then stepped np and tying a board over niv eyes - like they do fence-breaking steers I was led into the centre of the room. Soon I heard a scuffling at the door, and the six fel lows representing merchants torced into the rj,un a little spotted bull calf, as wild as a Texas pony. He was then brought up alongside of me, and the pair of us yoked together, one of the merchants holding a rope tied in a ring of the yoke. I thougSib I had seen pretty tough times, but I aoon knew that my past experience was but child s play compared with the ordeal before me. That little bull and I were turned loose, and the time we made around that room would shame a race horse. 1 knew I had to keep up or my neck would be broken. It had always been a mystery to me how it steer could turn his yoke, but it is no longer a secret. The bull turned his twice and I turned mine three times. I yelled for some one to head us, but the louder I hollered the Taster the little bull traveled. Just as I gave m3rself up for lost we were brought loa.'taiwt still, the yoke removed from my bruis ed and bleeding neck, and I was again led before the Grand I y coon, who con solingly addressed me thusly: "Benighted brother, seeking .visdom, the lesson you have just received is to impress upon your mind the sad truth that you are but a beast of burden for the commercial world. The merchant has a yoke of servitude upon your neck, and you can only look for relief to a farmers Alliance man. We will now administer to you another degree showing the difference between cash and credit. 1 was again taken in hand by two merchants, who forcibly tied a strong cord around each of my thumbs, aud in a twinkling I was suspended to a ridge pole. That I yelled with pain and begged for mercy, it is needless to add. One of my torturers demanded to know how much cash would pay him to be released. I offered all the money in my pockets, which was 35 cents. He agreed to let me down for $1 cash or $10 on credit, secured by mortgage, lien, deed of gift and waiver note on my farm, stock, wife and children. I eargerly accepted, and on being released stepped to the table, ami in Flie presence of two witnesses signed the paper. 1 was then led before the officer astride the worm fence, who ex plained the thumb swinging degree as follows: " Benighted brother, the ordeal which you have just passed through is j afforded by them is not utilized by the administered for the purpose of re-j United States.

"Is therj a Mr. Johnson in this car?" called the conductor, as he entered a coach on a Lehigh Valley train and held up a telegram to view. ' "There is!" replied three men in chorus, as they rose up.

The International GoBfrtti of American ante. The congress of the three Americas was formerly opened on October 21, at Washington, D. C. The Hon. Jas. G. Blaine, Secretary of State of the Uni ted States, was elected president, and Senor Romero, minister from Mexico, was at the head of a committee to re port at the meeting of the congress upon a list of committee for consider ation of the different subjects to be dis cussed. As none of the delegates to the congress hare power in full to act independently of their government, the congress1 action will be in the nature of advice to the different countries. But the results of the convention must be of the highest importance. On the day mentioned above, repre sentatives delegated from the follow ing countries were present: Hondu ras. Mexico, Nicaraugue, Peru, Salva dor, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bolivia, Brazil, Columbia, Costa Rica, Guate mala, United States. In conference these delegates, together with repre sentatives of the Spanish-American Commercial Union, a.e to determine what measures can be taken to increase commerce between the political di visions of the three Americas, to rec ommend changes in our modifications of existing international relation, and to give as practical a meaning as pos sible to the doctrine of America for Americans. In Europe the citizens of the western hemisphere sees much that is repugnant to his ideas. Labor is there established on a basis that does not accord with our ideas. Standing armies and compulsory military service. war of great expense both as regard lives and the general resources of life. immense and expensive navies, are not attractive objects for our imitation-. in his address to the convention. i Mr. Blaine spoke of the immensity of the-interests represented. Nearly l j X)0,000 of sqa re mile', or an area three times as Urge as .all Europe, with 120,(XX),0(K) of population, weio in cluded in the countries of the conven tion. His address was a plea for closer commercial relationship, for co-operation and confidence to do away with the necessity for the maintenance of the balance of power, and for friend ship instead of force as the dictator of international relations. After some further addresses the congress adjourn ed until Monday, November 18th. The intermediate time will le devoted to a forty day excursion through the United States, by invitation of the government. A magnificent train, the finest in equipment that has ever been made up, is to transport them to the leading points of iuterest of the country. While the productions of America, especially in the line of machinery, enjoy a world-wide reputation, they are not on that account free from compe tition. Not only have the manufac turer's of this country open rivals, but a species of underhand competition is at work. Foreigh producers copy the forms and characteristics of our goods in cheap material, and thus succeed in placing them iu markets which have been worked np by ourselves. The South American couu tries are a favor ite field for this form of competjtiou. This is but a side issue. The main fact is that the great opening for trade England. Many other circumstaBces operate in the same unfavorable way There is one element in the problem, apparently but not in reality a minor one, that admits of easy attack. Com paratively few people realize how im perfect are our postal arrangements with these countries. Letters can be sent by regular mail, but of the proper postal facilities for business there is a great deficiency. Millions of dollars worth of business is transacted annu ally within the United States through the post office. Samples of goods are sent by mail, and selections are made from them as the bahis of orders to be in turjsj sent by mail, and paid for by nostaF monev orders. The Federal .- ... ! (Government in providing these laciu- . . ... nf ties appears in iv toiinnun" a regulator of commerce between the States. The post omce has already become an important element in the actual business transactions of buying and selling in this country, and with the establishment of a more compre hensive parcels post, will become a still larger factor. If we turn to the southern countries . ii and colonies all appears different. Over twenty-five independent states and colonies on the continent and islands are among them. With the exception of a few iiuimportant isl ands, there is practically only a letter post betweeu us and them. Money orders cannot be sent, so that without special accounts, small financial trans actions are debarred. It is safe to say that no more easily executed and important improvement can fall within the scope of delibera tion of the congress. The business of sending samples by mail implies the necessity of cheap postal rates. Then as a third innovation, an effective par eel post should be established. The Blue-Glass Craze. BROWNSEQCAUD'S ELIXIR RECALLS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MEDICAL EXCITE MENTS. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. In 1870 General Pleasant on nnh- lished a work ful I v explaining his the ory a to the infallibility of blue glass iur invigorating ami retaining or re storing health. In a subsequent edi tion he added a list of testimonals from gnteful patients who professed to h ire derived immense benefits from the treatment, an i also the full text of the spec i Heat ion for his patients. His hook Was entitled "Blue Rav of the Sunlight and of the Blue Color of the Sky in Developing Animal and Vege table Life, in Arresting Disease, and in Restoring Health in Acute and Chronic Diseases in Human and Do mestic Animals. ' The General adorn ed the frontispiece with a rather un fortunate quotation: "If this theory- oe true it upsets all other theories. The converse seems to have been very satisfactorily established. A full re cord of the General's military exper ience is also given, apparently as mew! at .t a gu r nty of gool faith 1 he ar.th r s hrst experiments were on grape vines. In his greenhouse he substituted blue for white glass in every eighth row and succeeded in producing gmpes so fine that all others were rendered insignificant beside them. In 1809 he treated some hogs to a sim ilar dose and some little pigs grew and thrived so well that a royal road to a fortune in hog-raising seemed to have been found. Next he tried the effect of blue glass od an Alderney bull calf, .which grew six inches almost as by a miracle and became a veritableSaul among the little calves on the estate. From hogs and cattle the descent to poultry was short and easy, and a chicken-house wa fitted with just the right proportion of blue glass. The M foreordained. The -oui. j hicks v ready for the boilei' .oiu-v as icji: its they emerged fn m the shell, and those that escaped the usual a:.d proper spring chicken route to oblivion grew into splendidly devel oped and plumaged birds. It needed not implicit belief in Dar winism to induce the General to ap ply his experiments to men and wom en. Architects would be required to so arrange buildings its to insure the introduction of the elixir-like rays so that the owners and occupiers might enjoy the marvelous advantages, and "mankind will then not only be able to live fast, but can live long aud also live well." Judged by the fact that the blue glass craze, general as it was during the years 1876 and part of 1877, died out quietly and has long since been decently interred, some of the testi monials as to its efficacy from very funny leading. They show that if all the writers meant what they wrote General Pleasanton invented an elixir to cure not only every ailment but to supersede surgery and obstetrics. In fact it mast nave ueen omnipotent. A man with varicose veins was able to throw away his silk stocking after sleeping in a room a few nights .. blue glass in the windows. 'Typhoid' patients, after a day or two, anise like giants refreshed and dismissed their physicians. A bald-headed lady was delighted to discover an embryo crop of hair after seven days treatment, while another grateful recipient en larged on the marvelous effects of blue grass on his ancient mule. This once gray and festive quadruped had been deaf for ten years, its limbs were stiff, and it was a very bad way; but after blue .grass was inserted in the stable window J;ick braced up, could hear the word "oats" if only whispered, could kick its owner across the yard, and generally acted like a vivacious three-year-old. Excitement ran high and the craza traveled north, south, east and west. The wildest stories of cures were cirr ciliated. Men heard of objeets of pub lic sympathy getting cured almost without money and without price and entirely without trouble, for never was there so passive treatment recom mended, nor one less hampered with direction as to what should and should not be eaten and what habits or vices should be abandoned. The demand for blue glass was such as the most ardent enthusiast never anticipated, it crraduallv and finally dawned upon the credulous public that they had 1 made themselves riaicmous, mue g.ass became a .drug on the market, and the " , I II people wno were ici ui wmwu grow young again looked elsewhere for remedies and elixirs. l a I ..... . . . .

Extinct from an account of a trip made by Georgia farmers to-Phio a published in the Atlanta Contention. In the first place, no withstanding the fact that the value of Hie farm lands in Ohio under mortgage is muck greater than those in Gorgia, the farms are in far superior condition. The mortgages in almost every instance are for improvements. Every farm iu the State, ut least everyone the Geor gians saw, was as clean and neat as garden. The faim hone re, as a rule, small, but pretty modem cottage well fprnhhed and cam fort able. The barns are sujierior to the dwellings. The first story generally of stone or brick, and the balance of vi-pod. They are painted and i very one has a cupalo on the roof which gives it a rather pleasing appearance. The ground floors are for stock and vehicles, the sizes averaging room for from twenty tonne hundred head of cattle and horses. Above is for the grain, liny. forage, amt agricultnrai implements. ; The farms the State over will' aver age not more than one hundred and twenty-flve acres each. Everyone is in the very highest state of cultivation. ihe most improved agricultural imph inents are. used, consequently the fann ers require vevy few farm lalmrers. Everv farmer raises horses, cattle ar hogs, and the majority of the in rajj sheep, consequently thev h ive-enom. stable manure to highly fertilize th- rarms without the use of any great' quantity of commercial fertilisers. In fact many of the farmer use no-commercial fertilizers at all. However, the secret of the great yield per acre iu the Ohio farms i general ly conceded to be due to the manner in which their lands are prepared When the Ohioians were informed by the Georgia farmers that iu Georgia we never go dowu in plowing more than four niches, and the average three they were amazed and every one re nt at incte Was no wonder the Georgia farmers made nothing. In Ohio they never plow less than eight inches deep, and often as much as twelve. By -this deep plow ing, three horses being used to each plow, they claim that the soil will pro duce much more and that itdoes not require as much fertilizer. Again, there is nothing lost on an Onio farm. The strictest eeoinnmy is studied and executed. Every person on the farm has his duties and they are carried out to the letter. The la borers sire few but are well paid and required to work. Every member of the fanner's family works, and the women do us much as the men. In fact farming in Ohio has been reduced to the most economical system, but every farmer lives well his home is comfortable and his table is invariably laden with the lie-t the land affords. The beauty of it, tuiwever. is that every thingjs raised-ou the farm. I think the great need of a Georgia farm is grass, stock and manure. I would be glad Georgia farmers could be induced, to practice the sys tem and economy uniformly followed ; by Ohio farmers. . The system uf farming and the crops . cultivated in Ohio have constancy re-" turned veget ible matter to the soil.1" in Georgia our clem culture has as constantly withdrawn it, and our lands are, therefore left barren aud denuded. Again, you understand that their grasses induce and maintain the rais ing of stock which, together with the immense amount of straw and waste vegetable matter, makes large accumu lations of very rich barnyard manure. All this is carefully handled in Ohio and judiciously applied to the lands. Ohio farmers rely alnn st exclusively upon clover and barnyard manure, to? gether with proper rotation of their crops. Georgia farmers depend too much upon commercial niaiiures and allow their fields to be too closely glean ed by stock. That I can take a thousand dollars and invest it in Georgia land aud.niA?? more than an Ghio fanner can with an investment of $3,1 H HI. Because their laliorer will do a third more than ours. Their prejudice are much stronger g mist the negro than ours. They can not pay more for the saint class labor, They regard the negroC as an "unprofitable servant." They rate him Mow his real merits. We are lietter satisfied with our own We have found that we have u Mtpr market for all farm products, . .. ,.ut down our an1 increase our net profits. We shap make our "living" at home, and out surplus crop cotton .will, in time, make os rich. I The Fayetteville Centennial is at- trotting a good deal of attention.
