A BEES NEST IN A MANS HEAD

Some visitors to the battle field of the
Seven Pines last week picked up a
remarkably we'll developed skull, in
which colony Of bees had built their
home. Il was evidently a last years
nest, for the bees were gone, though
the nest remained perfect. A soliIoquy
as touching as that pronounced bv
Hamlet over the skull of Yorick
might be suggested by this skull, and
the strange incident Of its becoming
the habitation of bees. Whose skull
was it? Nobody knows. Yet some-
body once knew the owner Of it we'll,

not back from the battle. That skull,
that once, perchance, was animated
by rare intelligence; that intelligence
gone, becomes the resting place of
