Funeral cf a Bee.

A correspondent Of the Glasgow Herald is
The voucher f3r the following: son Sunday
morning last while walking with friend
in garden near Falk:rk, we observed two
bees issuing from one Of the hives, bearing
betwixt them the body of defunct comrade,
with which they flew for distance of ten
yards. We followed them closely and noted
the care with which they selected a conve-
nient hole at the side of the gravel walk, the
tenderness with which they committed the
body, head downwards to the earth. and the
solicitude with which they afterwards push

for about minute, perhaps to drop over the
grave of their friend a sympathizing tear,

Married BY Proxy.

One Of the members of the 103d Uni:
ted States colored troops was to have been
married recently to a blooming colored
damsel of Savannah, but just as the ar
rangements for the nuptials were nearly
completed, his regiment was ordered to
Fort Pulaski, and the expectant bride
groom had to leave with it. He wrote to
his espoused, informing her that he was
too good a soldier to stay behind, and
that therefore a postponement was un-
avoidablc Shortly after he sent another
letter from the fort, stating that it would
probably be long time before he could
attend personally to the matrimonial af-
fair, and that on the whole, as the pre-
parations might not keep, aud should not
be wasted, he would delegate his grooms-
man to represent him in the ceremony,
reserving to himself the right to clail1l
her as his wife when he returned to
Savannah. The wedding came off as he
sugsested.-Saeon'sah Herald,

a Knotty Point Promptly Cut.

The Morris Jerseyman, by way of ilus-
trating the utter emptiness of the "princi-
Piles of the Democratic party" relates the
following veritable incident:
Some years ago, when the Lecompton
question was a matter Of discussion, and
the Democracy were divided into adhe-
rents of Douglas and Buchanan, two we'll
known members of the party, one an ex-
Whig and former member of Assembly
and from Middlesex, and the other an ex-
editor and ex-Legislator from Camden
who afterwards found refuge in, Pennsylva-
MIA, were quarrelling in the bar-room Of
the Trenton House as to what "the eter-
nal principles Of the Democratic party
were" one loudly insisting that s1a-
very had Constitutional right to have
''free course and be glorifed'' over all
our territories and the other as stoutly
declaring for "Squatter Sovereignty."-
In the height of Che argument, the WE'LL
known features of Judge Narr were re-
cognized In the father end of the ROOM
and he was instantly brought,by the friends
of both into the presence Of the anxious
disputants. The decision of the question
was submitted to him. Here was guam
dary. He tried to escape, but stalwart
hands kept him up to the mark. The
True American was just then on both
sides, and the expression of a decided
opinion mfght do immense damage to the
prospects. The Judge, however, on d
moments reflection, proved himself equal
to the occasion. Taking cigar from his
mouth, and turning to the crowd of inter-
ested listeners (of whom we confess to
have been one,) he said: Gentlemen,
as l understand the eternal principles Of
the Democratic party, they are to keep
your id mouths shut when you don't
know what yor are talking about p and
retired in a blaze of glory. 1t was we'll
said and suspect that the party have
changed but little from that day Of this.

Our Hair.

DR.. Dio Lewis has the following suggest ion
in relation TO preserving the hair:
God covered the skull! with hair, some pco-
pie shave it off. Mischierous practice. 1t
exposes the throat and lungs-the eyes like
wise, say wise pbyesiologists. Men become
bald. Why! Because they wear close hats
and caps. Women are never bald except
BY disease. They DO not wear close hats
and caps Men never lose hair below
where the hat touches the head, not if they
have been BALI twenty years. The close
hat holds the heat and perspiration. Thereby
the air glands become weak; the hair falls
off What will restore it! Nothing after
the scalp becomes shiny. But in process of
falling out, or recently lost, the following is
the Eest: Wash the head with soft cold
wafer freely once or twice day. Wear a
thoroughly ventilated hat. This is the best
means to arrest The loss, and restore what is
susceptible Of restoration.

Curious Predictions.

In 1858 a pamphlet was published in
Germany, purportiug to be series Of
prophesies made by Mademoiselle Len.
ormand, in whose predictions the first
Napoleon placed great reliance. They
were-lst, that in 1853 war would
break out between England and France
on the one part, and Russia ; I'd, that
when peace was restored, war would
follow between England and India Sd
that great migration would then take
place from Germany to the United States;
4th, that a civil war would rage four
years in the United States, to be succeed
ed by an era of remarkable prosperity
5th, that about the time of its close, 8
fearful sickness, commencing in Russia
would extend across the Baltic, desolate
Germany, cause immense mortality in
England, and thence simultaneously
spread to the east and to the west Sc
far all has come true, and the unfulflled

Give the Chilaren Fresh Air.

Some parents make the great mistake
of keeping their children indoors during
cold weather Such practice is perni-
cious in many respects. 1t enfeebles the
bodies of children, and renders them pc.
culiarly liable to be attacked by colds and
coughs. A child should have its feet
well shod with socks and boots, its body
well wrapped in warm clothing, its head
and ears securely protected from the cold;
and then be let loose to play in the keen,
bracing, winter air. By this meanes its
body will become robust, and its spirits
be kept bright and cheerful whereas, if
a child be shut up in the house, 1T will
become fretful and feverish, and perhaps
wind up with severe attack of illness.

Remarkable March of a Cow.

A COW belonging to Gen. Sherman S
mess, went with Sherman's army all the
way from Atlanta to Savannah thence
to Goldsboro, Raleigh, Richmond, and to
Washington where she now is at the
Soldiers Home. During all the marches
she gave a gallon of milk day. Total
number of miles travelled since Nov.
16, 1864, to May 10, 1920. She is now
in excellent condition, and gives one and
one quarter gallons rich milk day. The
National Republican says: at is per-
haps needless to add that this veteran
bovine "bummer" and her lacteal pro-
ducts will be well cared for and apprecia-
ted at the Soldiers Home"

NO.25:
Up a Tree.

Artemus Aristottle's patriotism broke
out demonstratively upon his receipt Of
the news of the fall of Richmond. He'd.
have the biggest star-spangled banner
and the tallest flag staff in Berks County
that's what he would, and he told Aunt
Hannah so. ,
So Arte rushed down to Philadelphis
by express train, purchased forty feet
flag, and rushed home again by next ex-
press. Then Arte set about achieving
the longest liberty pole in Berks, out of d
straight hundred and sixty feet-mors nr
less-pine tree, standing on knoll back
of the house. With the big bunting
lashed about his shoulders, and armed
with hatchet, he up-onded the long hay,
ladder against the pine, scrambled in
among the lower branches, ghd began
cutting his course upwards, trimming,
close to the trunk every knot and branch
as he progressed.
Having cut his way to the tip-top o.
the tall pine, Arte flung his dag to the
breeze, lashed it hard and fast to the
staff, hurrahed Justify for Grant, "tigered"
for Sheridan, and then made the disco
very that he had cut off his retreat
There he was, hundred and fifty feet up
in the air, and every individual thing that
he could have climbed down by, cut off
smooth. Arte's enthusiasm collapsed in
second, and he hailed the house.
Hannah O-Hannah I'say-Han-
nah Come out here"
Out came Hannah, and seeing her hus-
band bumped up into ball, away up
there under the "fag of the Free" the
old lady piped out at him in key major !;
"Why, sakes o'me! What is it, Arte"
"Dod dern it, Hannah I'm up a tree.
Can't ye take that are musket and shoot
my dinner up here ?"
"Why, dear me, Arte, how will you
ever get down from there ?"
"Dunno, Hannah, less ye git some
body to chop the derned tree down, and
that would eenamost kill me- bod blast
the luck 2"
Arte clung to his perch about as long
as he could, and then clasping legs and
arms about the trunk, he began to slide
down stern foremost like bear, ripping
scraping, and tearing over the rough sur
face in way that by the time he touch
ed terra frma, it was about an even ques-
tion which had lost the most bark-Ar-
temus or the tree
"1'll be ded blamed if ever 1 60 to-
cut another tree into flag staff, I'll be-
gin at the upper end" Arte swore, as
Aunt Hannah led him away ragged and
bleeding.

WORK FOR THR sOLDIERs.

The world witnesses with amazemcnt the
orderly disarmament Of three-iourths OF oui
great armies and their peaceful return to civil
life. 1t is all very well for tho world to wonder
and an emotion Of complacency on our OWL
part is not amiss-but We want something more
than emotions. Ours is practical nation, and
showed its practical turn by the readiness with
which It took hold of the war. We look for the
same talent to DO exhibited in the return Of
peace. Society has now to absorb into IT.
ordinary industrial occupations some hundreds
of thousands of men with the same easy readi.
ness with which it dismissed them from the
paths of peace to the rough ways Of war.
The Sanitary Commission has established a
bureau of employment at No. IS Chambers.st.,
to which We have lately referred. But the main
purpose of that is to provide employment for
partially disabled soldiers. We desire now to d.
rect attention to the claims Of all soldiers upon
the public for employment.
1t is not an appeal to the charitable. The
notion that any soldier is to be relieved or en-
ployed from charitable motives ought to be re-
jected at once. Upon Government and People
alike, the soldiers have the first claim. 1t Is

TEXAS.

The Picayune New. Oreans) has not been
eager to give reports favorable TO the Union
cause, so we may fully credit its statement that
ex-President Ashbel Smith and another eminent
citizen of Texas, having been deputed by their
tellow-citizens, have reached New Orleans from
Houston. charged with the duty Of announcing
the collapse Of the Rebellion in the "Lone
Star" and urging Uncle Sam to send down
authority and force to take charge Of that
"wayward sister," who seems to be in de-
cidedly bad way. Kirby Smiths surrender was
not known at Galveston when these "comms-
sioners left; indeed, it was supposed there that
he had determined to Eight on, fight ever"
but the Texans had had enough, and they were
fully resolved on saying so. Indeed, the soldier.
ing part of them had become so thoroughly dis
gusted with the whole business that they were
DESERVING uncontrollably, roaming in bands
whithersoever they would, and appropriating
whatever they fanced Confederate property
that they could lay their hands on. A little Of
this sufficed the forehanded Texans, who there.
upon sent their ENJOYS to New-Oreans TO solicit
protection as aforesaid. So our expedition now
steaming for Texas will be received with enthu.
siasm, alike by the Whites whom it will rescue
from anarchy and the Blacks whom it will de-
liver from hated bondage.
Texas was never Rebel at heart. Her
Democratic politicians, blacklegs and negro
traders (three designations in many instances,
for the same persons) carried her out of the
Union at the point of the Bowie-knife, against
the Judgment and instincts of her industrious,
thrifty classes. Counties wherein three-iourths
of the Whites were loyal were made to count on
the side of Secession. The political and other
blacklegs gave their neighbors but this alterna-
tive, Eight the North across the Potomac, the
Ohio, the Missouri, or fight us across the
street," and too many Of the better class sue
cumbed to a rule which in their hearts they
loathed. The killing Of Unionists for their
Unionism had been commenced here before MIR.
