Bees--Their Strange Instincts.

Experiments were tried by Huber to as
certain how hive of bees would behave to a
strange queen after they had lost their own.
He removed the native queen, and after a
few hours introduced strange queen into
the hive. The bees which mount guard at
the entrance of the hive Immediately seized
her and made her prisoner, precisely as
they would have done had their queen still
been among them. They did this each time
the experiment was repeated. An interval
of sixteen hours was then suffered to elapse
before the time they discovered the loss Of
their queen, and then stranger queen was
introduced to the hive She was treated
precisely as the others had been, as were
also her successors in similar experiments ;
but in some instances where they survived
the pressure, want of air, and hunger for
several hours, they were allowe1 to assume
the position of queen of the hive. Twenty
fur hours were then suffered TO elapse after
their queen had been taken away, before a
foreign queen was put into the hive, and in
stead of being made prisoner she was vel
coined with every sign of JOY and at once
accepted as their queen evidently they had
arrived at the conclusion that, from the
length of time that had elapsed, there was
no chance Of their own queen coming back.
1t must have been from the reasoning of this
way. because it was always the case, that if
twenty four hours elapsed since she had dis
appeared. the new queen was received with
respect and obedience. A very striking in
stance OF this is related. The lawful queen
was removed at time when she was busily
engaged in laying eggs. After time the
news spread through the hive and the usual
CONSERVATION prevailed; they were left in
this condition q great many hours, their
agitation was the greater that no new queen
was ready for release from her cell in fact,
none of the royal cells had been built They
therefore, proceeded to enlarge some of the
cells containing the eggs of the workers. A
stranger queen was then introduced and
directly she entered the hive. those who
guarded the entrance, instead of making her
a prisoner, received her with the greatest
satisfaction; they approached her and
touched her with their ante, and gave her
food. The news began to circulate through
the hive that a new monarch had arrived, and
the bees kept pouring in. all of which drew
near in succession and performed the same
ceremony.

We were told good story, the other day,
by a gentleman from San Leandro, who has
taken into his employ hired man to 90 the
chores" about the house. The servant man
was born somewhere in Holland, and until
quite recently. has followed the sea as an
avocation. Hans, or Jack Tar, whichever
you may call him, was desired to go to the
stable and harness up the horse. and to be
particular, as his employer was going to
Oakland, to dress him up nicely" After
an unusual absence, Dutchy" emerged
from the stable, leading a neatly curried
animal, whose every hair was as smooth and
regular as lady's waterfall he having
spent fully half an hour in blacking up and

on the Telegraph Road. He was ordered to
90 out by the Captain, few days since, and
grease the wagon. He performed his
duties to the strict letter, but to the intense
astonishment of the Captain, who found that
his man of all work had actually creased
every part and particle of the wagon, even to
the pole = Oakland Necs.

PRIDE.
by JOHN C. SAKE,

IT'S n curious fact as ever was known,
Rut often in human nature shown,
Alike in the castle or cottage,
That pride, like pigs of certain BROOD
VIII manage to live and thrive on food
As poor as pauper's pottage.
OF all the notable things of earth,
The oueerest thing is the pride of birth,
Among our =" fierce democracie;'
A bridge across n hundred years,
Without a prop to save it from sneers-
Not even couple of rotten piersyi
A thing for laughter, filings and jeers,
Is American aristocracy.
Depend upon it, snobbish friend,
Your family thread you can't ascend,
Without good reason to apprehend
You may find it waxed at the other end
By some plebian vocation
Or, worse than that, your boasted line
Nav end in a loop of stronger twine
That plagued some worthy relation.
Because you flourish in worldly affairs,
Do not be naughty and put on airs,
With insolent pride of station
Don't be proud and turn up your nose
At Atpoorer people in palmer clothes,
But learn for the sake of your minds repose
That all proud flesh, wherever 1t grows,
Is subject to irritation

LAW OF THE FINGER RING.-If a gentle
man wants wife, he wears ring on the
first finger of the left hand if he is engaged,
he wears it on the second finger if married,
on the third and on the fourth, if he never
intends to get married. When a lady is not
engaged she wears diamond ring on her
first finger; if engaged. on the second if
married, on the third aud on the fourth if
she intends to be maid. When a gentle
man presents fan. flower, or trinkets, to
a lady with the left hand, this. or on his
part is an overture of regard should she
receive with the left hand, it is considered as
an acceptance of his esteem but If with the
right hand it is a refusal of the offer.

A REVOLVING EXHIBITION. "A Chicago
paper says: 8 For the last few days large
crowds have been assembled in corner of
the Court House square, staring with stupid
wonderment at one of the most repulsive ex-
hibitions ever shown for the public. In
small covered wagon, drawn by two dogs,
sits MANNED soldier, or man in soldiers
attire, woman and a little girl. The group
sitting there stretch out their eager hands
on every side for time gathering in the FIVE.
cent pieces, that are thrust upon them from
every side. When they have got sufficient
to reward them for exhibiting, the woman
deliberately unhooks her dress in front, and
there the wonder seekers see coled up in her
bosom a rattlesnake about four feet in length,
As soon as it is exposed, the reptile shoots
out its head, darting it rapidly TO and fro,
and slowly uncols itself, as the woman,
taking it from its warm nest, holds it for
inspection, while the man narrates how every
third day she suckles it as she would a child.
This exhibition is of itself sufficiently dis
gushing but it is followed by another still
more so. The man removing his hat from
his head. passes his fingers through his ha.r,
and draws from its nest among his shaggy
locks, spotted toad, black and yellow,
which he permits to crawl around his neck
and over his face. The man boasts that
there is no show in America equal to this
extraordinary exhibition. lie might boast
with truth that there is not one to be seen
equally disgusting.
