FIRST BABIEs.-A somewhat extended observa-
ton and solitary experience have convinced us
that first babies have hard time. Parents must
have two or three children before they know what
baby is, know how to treat it and acquire patience
sufficient to treat it properly. The poor little fell
lows that have the misfortune to come along first
have to educate parents to their task, and in the
process they get spanked, and shaken, and abused.
After man has three or four children, he learns
that whipping, or striking a child less than two
years of age, is barbarism. We know one "pater
nal head" who struck his first child when only six
weeks old the ass actually believing that the child
knew better than to cry, and that he stopped cry
ing at that particular time because he struck him.
We carry certain notions Of children and of family
government into married life, and the first child is
always the victim of these notions. And not alone
of these, for the parents have not learned sefcon
troll and baby is whipped quite as often because
the parent is impatient angry, as because it is
vicious or intractabe. We inhict on our first chill
dren the foggngs we ought to have for our own
impotence or fretfulness. This pounding children
before they become, in Gods eye, morally RESPONSE
BILE beings, is very strange business. Patience
good people-unwearying patiencei Don't wait to
learn until one Of your little ones shall be hidden
under the DAISIES! -.SpriaG6sH Rep =

IMPORTATION OF BEEs.-The New York Post says
that Mr. S. B. Parsons, of Flushing, Long Island,
had just brought over an immense stock of Italian
bees. He has some three millions and has also i'm
ported an Italian bee-keeper. OF these bees the
Post says
"They have been known in Northern Europe but
few years and it is only in the Vateline and about
the lakes that they are found pure, and whence
they can be safely exported only in the autumn or
early winter. Their superiority to the common bee
consists in their greater capacity to endure the cold
in the fact that they swarm more than twice the
number annually; that their queens much more
prolific; that their workers commence much earlier
in the season, and are much more industrious that
they less apt to sting, and may be easily tanned
by kind treatment; that the queen may be so edn-
Gated as 70 lay her eggs in any hive in which she
may be placed, while the bees of such hive, de-
ppiyed of their own queen, will readily receive her;
that the proboScis of the worker is longer and it
can touch the depths of flowers which are entirely
beyond the reach of the common bee. Mr.. Parsons,
from whom we gather these particulars, feels
ed of their susceptibility to entire domestcaton for
he went in freely among them without any protec-
ton, while the hives were uncovered, and the cards
of comb handled He also feels assured of their
hardness, because he found that the Italians were
in the practice of taking them up in the highest
Alps"
We condense further from the Post as follows:
"Some of the Italian bee-keepers estimate sixty
to seventy pounds of honey per season, to young
swarm while one hundred to one hundred and thir-
ty pounds is often the product of an old hive. An
Italian queen will produce from fifty to one hun
dred and thirty fertile young queens. The bees
be handled readily by child and each hive increas-
ed to fifty the first year. These bees are sent in
boxes four inches wide, four inches deep and five
inches long-an impregnated queen and three to
five hundred working bees, educated for their
position-through the postofice from Italy to Ham,
burg.
Our next invention must be mode of converting
honey into loaf sugar, and then beehive will be
each mans sugar plantation

The LATE POLITICAL MEETING. our last issue
we promised to give a more extended report of the
speeches, but owing to our reporter losing some of
his notes, we can but give synopsis of the speech
Of Mr.. Fox, with his concluding remarks. In reply
10 Mr.. Pool the Know Nothing candidate for Gov
ernor he showed the evils of the ad rdlorem system
as advocated by the Know Nothings-that it is in
tended to benefit the rich banker and money lender,
and Cypress the poor man. That the people who
vote for the system as expressed in their platform,
would be deceived by its results-that the same
platform is not understood by the members of that
party as they nearly all construe it differently.
Mr.. Fox, after replying to all the positions taken
by Mr.. Pool, at some length attacked Mr.. Pool on
Know. Nothingism, and exposed the horrid oaths
which he had taken. He alluded to Mr.. P's decara-
ton in Salisbury, that posterity would bless HIM
pooh when in his grave for his efforts in behalf of
al UdiOrem taxation"
Mr. Fox concluded his speech by turning to Mr..
p. and saying: my dear sir, you are mistaken;
this is not the way to excite the gratitude of those
who will come after you. If you really believe that
the party in power corrupt, that they have COM
United grevious errors do not overstep the bounds
Of modest virtue, by procaiming that you have come
in the form of angel to correct those errors, but
rather like Portius under the advice of his good
old father Cato Go to your retired home and pray
for the tcedL OF your country. Content yourself to
be obscurely good. When vice prevails and impious
men bear sway, the post of honor is private sta
ton Go, and mingle the tears Of earnest peni-
tence with the brackish waters of your own Pas
quotank, and appeal to that Being who can alone
forgive that He will absolve you from those awful
oaths which you have taken, as we believe, against
the very spirit and genius of our Government and
implore Him to pardon that restless ambition which
prompts you now to create dissensions among our
happy people; and if perchance forgiveness come,
you may he gathered to your fathers in peace, and
then, and only then, will posterity scatter flowers
of affection your grave, revere your name, and
bless your memory. Loud and continued applause.

PBENrIoEs OPINION OF BREcKINRIDGE.-Mr. Prem
tice wrote the following about Breckenridge, when
he was a member Of Congress: 1--WE ascribe moth
ing of corruption or dishonor to Breckenridge him.
self We believe him to be conscientious, an hon.
orable as we'll as most able man. We have been
half afraid during the canvass to express fully
opinion of him. lest our Wing friends in his district
and elsewhere might deem it untrue TO the interest
of our party. Paragraphs written by US some
months ago in relation to Mr.. Breckenridge, have
been kept at the heads Of his newspaper organs
throughout the conflict, and we can and do emphat-
icaly reassert every word of these paragraphs. Mr.
Breckenridge is pure and noble hearted man, and
a liberal minded politician he has earned and won
at home and at Washington as high reputation for
talents as belongs to any man Of his age in the Uni
ted States. We do not know any gentleman we
would rather see in Congress- and, if he lived in a
Locofoco district, Linn Boyds for instance, weshoud
sincerely rejoice in his election.

may have given some evidence of skill in those of
my statues which are now in. your city, could
scarcely have hoped that their merit, whatever it
may be, should have inspired the, citizens of St

acieristic must he the union of great intellectual
power with manly strength. -.
But have also reason to be grateful to you, be-

rank am really entitled artist, unsheltered
by their broad wings of compassion for the sex; for
this work must be, we understand the term a

The HEATED TERM.-Our exchanges come daily
with accounts of the overpowering hot weather at
the South. Natchetz St. Louis. Memphis, Savan-
nah and New Orleans are suffering almost beyond
precedent. The average range of the thermometer
at these points is this year far in excess of that of
the past
Forty two deaths occurred in New Orleans last
week from sun-stroke, and forty from appoplexy.
The whole mortality of the city was 800 The sun
is said to have poured down with intensity which
the Oldest resident does not recoeet to have seen
equaled."
In Mobile. Alabama, some half dozen cases of
coup de sOliet had occurred Heretofore has been
almost unknown in that place. Even night offers
no protection. The heat was so intense that the
rollers of the press of the AdUertiSer melted
The thermometer stood in the shade at from SO to
100 degrees.
Six deaths are reported at Augusta, Ga. One of
these was a traveller, who overpowered while
sitting in train of cars about to leave the city.
In the neighborhood of this place numerous other
cases were chroniced.
In Savannah, Ga, the thermometer stood last
week at 80 degrees in the shade. The sea breeze
was almost as bad as that from the land. Although
the papers notice no Deaths it is certain that some
had occurred through the instrumentality of the
heat
In seeking for precedents for this heated term"
one of the South Carolina papers refers to the year
1854. At that time, during the last of June, and
middle and end of July, the thermometer ranged
very high The heat it will be reeolected, was
very general in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore
and WashiDgton-the thermometer indicated from
96 to 90 degrees. Deaths from sun stroke were nu-
merous in all of our sea-board cities and at little
later period the yellow fever committed dreadful
ravages in the South.-Bdtt Amer.
