EXPECTATION OF BEES TO CALIFORNIA.
During the past two or three years the
North Atlantic Steamship Company have
done quite an extensive business in the
expectation of honey bees to California
and other places on the Pacific Coast
At this season of the year the trade is
particularly brisk, and during the last
week upward of one thousand hives
have been brought to this city over the
Hudson River Railroad. The hives are
brought mostly from the Central and
Western parts of the State, Utica and
Syracuse furnishing the largest number.
When shipped, the hives are stacked on
the upper deck in order to give the bees
plenty of fresh air, but we are informed
by Mr.. Wickham, the agent of the Com
pany, that not more than fifty per cent
reach their destination alive. When en-
tering warm climate the wax melts and
browns the bees, and many are otherwise
killed by an insect called the miller. In
all cases the bees are transported in the
hives they have filed, and some of the
dealers ftup the hives very tastefully,
arranging on one side wire cause to in
sure good ventilation. Large numbers
are sold in San Francisco and Oregon,
where the bees prove very thrifty, swarm
ing three or four times year. The
hives are sold at auction mostly, and
bring from $25 to 500 each.

The TRIAL WITH THE ELEPHANT.--The
following scene was witnessed at a me-
nagerie in Blackburn (Eng.) recently.
A young man, who had for some time
been carefully observing the monster
elephant, determined to try the strength
of the huge bulk of flesh with his own.
There is the end of the elephants tusks
On iron rod, binding one tusk to the
other. Our hero seized hold Of this, and
began to lean his whole weight upon it,
The elephant, not liking this treatment,
determined to punish his antagonist He
raised his head aloft, and the young
fellow was swung from the ground until
he almost touched the canvas covering.
The animal repeated this, and second
time he descended to the ground, when
the elephant, perhaps thinking it best to
temper justice with mercy, wrapped his
trunk round the hapless and now
thoroughly humbled youth, and very
unceremoniously laid him in the mud that
overspread the floor. The wrestle was
ended, the elephant coming off victor,
while his combatant picked himself up,
and amid the hearty laughter of the
spectators, vanished.

PECULIAR MODE OF. INcULcATINa VIR-
TURs.-Two elergymen entering into con-
versation, one lamented the little power
his preaching and admoniton had toward
reclaiming his parishioners from their
vices; to which the other replied he had
been more lucky, for he had made many
of them proselytes to the three capital
virtues, namely, faith, hope and repent
ance.
"Aye," says the other, "you have been
very fortunate indeed. But pray, by
what means did you bring them to so
happy conversion2'
hWhy, by borrowing their money; for,
had they not had faith in me that ! should
repay them, they would not have lent it

BuRYING COFFIN WITHOUT A CORPSE,
A curious circumstance occurred at
Sandgate, England, recently. 1t appears
that body was found ashore, and inter.
ment ordered by the coroner The coffin
was supplied, and put in the shed, near to
where the corpse lay. The sexton, a
discreet and careful man, took the hearse
for the corpse, and, on inquiry, was
referred to the shed, where he saw the
coffin, and, with assistance, put it in the
hearse, and conveyed it to the cemetery;
the clergyman read the service over It
and all was thought to be finished. II
the evening, however, Mr. Graves sent tc
the sexton to know when he was coming
for the corpse. The worthy sexton a
once saw his mistake; he had buried the
coffin only. The coffin was quietly due
up and the corpse properly inferred thu
next day.

The SUPERIORITY OF Young DUMAS TO
HIS FATHER.-The Paris correspondent
of the Boston Traveller says: Ohe day
the son was walking out with Mons. Jules
de Premaray, the dramatic critic of La
Patrie; their walk extended further then
they supposed, and when they looked at
their watches they found it past six
o'clock. ut is too late to 60 home and
dine with me. Let us dine together at
some restaurant but as / have only ten
france in my purse, I must call by my
fathers and get him to give me some
money" When they reached his fathers
house, he ran up stairs. He came down
stairs in ten minutes, looking very blank.
"see here, my friend" said he to Mons.
Jules Premaray, 1--WE must 60 home and
dine there. l have only FIVE francs
le(t--my father borrowed t'other fve.franc
piece"
Young Dumas has been poor, but even
in his most straitened circumstances he
has taken care Of his mother and sister,
whom his father never seems to have be-
slowed a thought on-he certainly never
has bestowed money on them. His
mother kept for great many years a
circulating library and reading room in
the Rue de Ia Michodiere, not far from
Madame Busque's squash-piery, or rather
her old place, for the squashery.is now in
the Rue Godot du Mauroy she at present
lives at a village just outside the north
west gates of Paris, in an annuity bought
by her son. His sister married q
provincial gentleman of tolerable income,
and he placed in her bridal casket five
thousand dollars, beside paying for her
wedding attire. His father gave her
his presence at the bridal ceremony. He
gives away portion Of his income in
charity whenever he finds a deserving
object.

Large Fortune.

A Californian Deprived by Death Of o
Large Fortune.
A late San Francisco paper relates the
following:
Some five or six months since, an expe-
rienced miner and mineralogist waited on
gentleman Of this city, and exhibited to
him some samples Of q mineral he had
just assayed and found to contain silver
at the rate Of more than one thousand
dollars to the ton. The person visited,
kowing the other to be man of veraeity
as well as master of his business, became
deeply interested in his statements, and
on further inquiry found that the speci-
mems were none other than ore from the
since celebrated Washoe silver mines;
that it existed in the locality where found
in large quantities, and that his visitant
was fully empowered to sell the whole for
fifteen hundred dollars. Instead, however,
of at once closing bargain for its pur-
chase, as advised by the man of science,
his friend directed him to 60 and make
another assay with scrupulous care, and
if the result corresponded with the for
mer, the money should be Forthcoming;
the two to be joint owners in the claim
when bought Another assay was made,
and large button of glittering silver
produced, which was carried to the cap
italists late in the evening-too late for
consummating the business that day. 1t
was accordingly postponed until the next
morning when at an early hour it was to
be attended to.
The assayer, o man over sixty years of
age, spent that evening with a friend and
in long conversation, having rehersed
the story of an eventful and somewhat
unfortunate life, remarked with smiling
countenance, that he believed he was at
last on the eve of negotiating for min
ming claim that would secure compe-
tsncy for himself and his motherless chill
dren. He was wandering over the world
for many long years leaving Ireland, the
land of his birth, while yet a young man,
he had gone to Hungary and other parts
of Europe, thence to South America,
afterward to Mexico, passing finally to
the golden sheres of California always
in eager pursuit Of fortune, which some
how had always until now, managed to
elude his grasp. Having thus related his
sad experience, and expressed again his
confidence in the purchase he was about
to make, he parted with his friend in the
best possible spirits. The following
morning he was found by his son dead in
his bed, and with him went the power to
effect sale for few hundred dollars of
a mine now valued at millions. Had
Richard Killaly lived tbut few hours
longer he would have been millionaire,
and his children instead of being left to
depend on their youthful exertions for q
livelihood, might this moment have been
the richest heirs in California.
