70 1t is stated that bees greatly i'm
prove the qualification of fruit trees.
Orchards in which several hives are kept,
always produce more fruit than others in
which there are none. In the provinces
on the Rhine the fruits are more abundant
and finer than in any other part of Ger
many, and there it is the custom to keep
large quantities of bees. Plants, too,
which bees visit, thrive better in the
neighborhood of hives. .-....
U The river Thames is navigable to
the length of $50 English miles, with a
tidal rise to the extent of 20 miles. The
Thames takes the largest merchantmen
to the immediate vicinity of London
Bridge; and as the tide is going out it
takes them back, without the help of oars,
sails, or steam tugs. Nature has made
the Thames the grandest of all trading
rivers; it gave it a larger share of the
ocean tides than it ever bestowed on any
other river in Europe.

Ohio. The bride Immediately left with
her husband for their Western home.
KIT CARsoN.-This world renowned
explorer and forest tanner is now in the
city of New Orleans, where he excites
no little surprise by his wild costume
and appearance. No American, since the
days Of Daniel Boone, has passed through
more startling adventures, or can narrate
more stories of mountain torrents, hair
breadth escapes and Indian rencontres
than he.
UConsolation for the homely. Many
man has risen to eminence under the
powerful reaction Of his mind in fierce
counter-agency to the scorn of the un-
worthy daily evoked by his personal
defects who, with handsome person,
would have sunk into the luxury of a
careless life under the tranauillizing
smiles IF continual admiration.

" The London, Canada, Free Press
says, man named Hagarty, endeavored
some few days ago to kill his wife by
striking her on the head with an axe.
She warded off the blow with her arm,
which was much gashed. Hagarty used
to allow her one quart of whiskey daily,
and bottle was found by her side.
o. brute, in the shape of man,
was sent to the workhouse in Louisville,
for whipping an infant child few weeks
old. His wife testified on the trial, that
he caused the death of a former child
having actually whipped it only three
days before its death.

that Heaven has put them upon us, and
that the only way to save ourselves, and
fulfill our part in the terrible drama. i:
to strike with all our might, and let the
great culprit see at once the strong de-
termination and the tremendous power
he has presumed to set at naught We
have been slow to take the decisive step.
The Russian has evidently concluded
that we preferred negotiation to action;
the very population of st. Petersburg
has been taught that we are too COM
mercial to be real warriors, and too fond
of profit to be keenly sensitive to wrong.
Now that we have thrown away the
scabbard, and stand face to face with
our insolent antagonist, it only remains
to disabuse him thoroughly of this
imaginary estimate Of our temper and
power. That we have no doubt will be
done, but it will be done all the more
readily by our gallant feet and army, if
it be known that all England follows
her sons to battle, and will prosecute
their cause and avenge their death, till
soon or late the rights of nations and
the liberties of Europe receive a fresh
sanction in the signal punishment of the
gigantic offender.

WHAr THE DENocRAcY SAY OF PREsI-
DENT PIERcE.-At the regular monthly
meeting of the New York Young Mems
Democratic Committee, the following
among other resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That the result of the re-
cent elections in New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, and Connecticut is TO be at
tributed to the loss of the confidence of
the Democracy in the fidelity of the
Presidentto those great principles which
achieved his election, and to the un-
principled conduct of his spoils Cabinet;
that, while we regret the loss of these
States from the triumphant phslsnx Of
1852, we must still view the sacrifice
with that stern conviction of justice
which sctusted the Roman Judge in
condemning his own son.
Resolved, That the National Democ-
racy of this city and county approve
and sustain the course of Hon. Francis
B. Cutting, and other Democratic Rep
resentatiTes in Congress, in thwarting
the effort of the administration to force
the Nebraska bill to a vote without dis
cussion, by a preconcerted plan Of
dragooning and attempted intimidation;
and that we applaud the chivalric con-
duct of Mr.. Cutting in promptly meet
ing the attempt of the administration to
coerce members of Congress into COM
pliance with the Executive will.

bill provides that nothing in the act
shall be so construed as to interfere

SIR CHARLES NAPIER.-Sir Charles
Napier has as little of the heroic look as
any man you ever saw. He is stout,
burly, and square in figure. His feat
ures are ordinary, His aspects that of
a mere farmer. and his usual attire is by
no means so good as many farmers
would wear. He has a very good
natured expression of cOuntenance.-
His hair is white-that is, such Of it as
remains. He has a slight limp, from a
severe wound in the thigh received in
the engagement, in August, 1903 be-
tween his brig Recruit and the French
corvette Diligente. He is fond Of rural
life, and as Lord Palmerston observed. J
is an excellent farmer, deep in sub soil
ploughing, the breeding of stock, the
alienation Of green and cereal crops,
the use and abuse of manures, and all
that relates to a country life. As a
speaker, he is energetic and decisive,
coming at once to the purpose, and
throwing out his sentences rapidly and
loudly. as if he were firing red hot balls
into the enemy. At the age of sixty
eight, this fine old fellow goes out again
to battle.-London Correspondence "
Y. lSundog Times. 4.
