THE INDIANA BEE TANER-ihe Wabash

tanner in that place:
One Of the remarkable sights hdre on
the Fourth, was Mr.. Twiniug and his
queen bee. The day before he came into
our office with an old plug hat. lie had
cut two holes III it about midway to the
crown one in the front, the other IN the
back part. holding the hat III his hand
and turning II over SO as 10 show that II
was empty. he said. you see that this hat
j. now empty. Tomorrow | intend to
have swarm of bees at work in it max
ing honey. and | intend to wear it on my
head with the bees in it,! Sure enough,
on the Fourth, as we were going out into
the grove. We came across Mr. Twining
He was located under a shady tree, and
was exhibiting to an admirlng crowd OF
men and women his wonderful patent bee
hive on his head was the identical hat
that he had shown us the day before. 1t
was literally covered all over with bees,
busy at work, going in and out at the ori-
tices before mentioned. All the spare
space in the hat was filed with new comb
that had been made within twelve hours.
In his hand he held the queen bee, which
he was showing TO every one who would
venture near enough to gaze on and adj
mire the wonderful little insect-During
all this time he was giving an eloquent
aud instructive lecture on the habits,
worth and care OF beeSs

FELLow-ClT!zESs: 1t is now about eight
wears ago since ! addressed the citizens of
the city OF Charleston, and | now address
them upon similar topic and under al
most the same circumstances. Upon that
occasion il was whether the South should
submit to be robbed OF the magnificent
Territory Of California. The question now
is whether the South will submit 70 be
robbed of all her other Territories, both
for the present and for all time IN this
great question, teliow-citizeuS. although
men play their part, yet there are princi,
pies and interests at the foundation that
strike at and override the steps OF every
man.
When the Charleston Convention was
sitting here, "A distinguished delegate from
New England said to me: 4" Sir, we cannot
yield to your demand If we were TO ai-
firm the rights of the South, as You state
them. we not only could not carry State,
but not a District in the North

England brought forward proposition
that it should he divided into ten States,
in order that she might reap her benefit.
That was not done; but another step was
taken by them with view to attain their
ends In order that the South should not
expand, they got Jay to make treaty
with Spain, by which the novigation of
the Mississippi was to be obstructed.

ATLANTIC CABLE.-Some fifty miles Of the
Atlantic Cable have been taken up, to a
point extending seaward fifty miles from
the shores of Trinity Bay. Fracture were
found in the cable just where they had
been indicated by the instruments on
shore. The intention is to underrun a
similar length of the wire on the European
side, at it is then thought by the sanguine
promoters of ocean telegraphing that the
Atlantic cable will be made to woak. 1t
cannot be questioned that those concerned
in this cable enterprise possess energy and

The following incident in the life of the
late g. P r. James is related on the Gre
dit of "one of his Oldest and most init
mate literary friends
"When Mr. James was young man,
his cousin was about to marry the daugh-
ter of an eminent lawyer of the time, and
the title-deeds OF this gentleman entailed
property were, at the request of the tathor
of the young lady, submitted to his exam
ination The keen lawyer discovered that
the parents of the gentleman, although
moving in the best society of London, had
never been married Mr. James was made
acquainted with this awkward fact, and at
the same time informed that he himself
was the heir-at-law. The match was about
to be broken off, and much distress occa-
sond on every side, when Mr.. James, ha-
wing quiently taken possession of the pro-
perty, went at once to the unhappy young
man. his relative, and conveyed to him the
whole of the property, which amounted to
very handsome independence"
