There is no doubt that our present mixed cur

''THE WORLD" AND NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

From the NJ y World.
We are disinclined to give further promi-
nence to the negro suffrage issue, and have
forborne to make any reioinder to recent
articles in the Tribune and the Times assail-
ing our position on that subject In spite of
the Democratic party, the negro suffrage
question is forced into the State canvass this
fail. We briefly called attention to this fact
in a recent article, expressing the opinion
that the Democrats will unanimously vote
against that provision of the new State Con-
stitution which proposes to confer universal
suffrage on our negroes. Vote on this ques-
tion we must, one way or the other; and as
the Democratic party have never desired negro
suffrage, in this State or elsewhere, it is right
that their votes (since the question cannot be
blinkeD should express their real sentiments
and preference.
If the Republican party had not compelled
us to meet the question, we would gladly have
ignored it. The Worlds allusion to it was
not gratuitous because the issue is forced
into the canvass by the Republican majority
OF the Constitutional Convention who insisted
on such provision, and by the Republican
ma ority of the last Legislature who submitted
it to the vote of our citizens in the approach
ing election.
We do not know that we should have given
further space to the subject if q RennbIican

our sincerity, on this vexed question of NEGRO
suffrage. Our traducer is the Buffalo CSD,,

Terrible Retriblttion.

The Macon Telegraph of the 10th
has the following: A shocking ac-
cident occurred on the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad, on Thursday
last, by which one man was instantly
killed, another was mortally woun-
ded by being shot through the head
and having bis brains knocked out,
and the third badly shot in the
mouth. All three were brought to
this city yesterday on the eleven
O'Clock passenger train, and the two
wounded men taken to the hospital.
1t appears that these three men,
with others from North Georgia
and Tennessee, had recently been
employed as laborers on the Macon
and Brunswick road, and when 60
ing along to their work on Thursday
last, they got to teazing o negro
man, wto was in front of them few
PAGES with a heavily loaded gun on
his shoulder, by throwing pine burrs
at him. Unfortunately, . burr
struck the hammer of the gun which
caused it to fire, and the whole
charge was thrown back among the
crowd Of men with the result as
above given. ... ...... ...
No blame is attached to the negro
other than that he had no business
with the gun-that he should have
had spade or pick upon his shoul-
der lnstiad of a loaded musket.

Proof Reading

There are a great many people
who think proof reading one of the
easiest things in the world, and who
get very impatient over mistakes in
books and papers. A writer in the
Galaxy gives some interesting in.
cidents oftypographical errors. He
mentions one edition of the Bible
rhich contained 5000 mistakes. He
gives the following example of the
difficulty in the way of getting out
a perfect book Some professors
at the University at Edinburg, re-
solved to publish a book which
should be a model of typographical
accuracy. Six proof readers were
employed. and after it was thought
to be perfect, the sheets were posted
up in a hall of the university, a re-
ward of two hundred and fifty
dollars was offered, for every mis-
take that should be discovered.
When the book was printed, it was
found that it contained several er-
rors, one being in the title page.
another in the first line in the first
chapter. The only books that are
believed to be entirely free from
errors are an Oxford edition Of the
Bible, a London and Lelpsic Horace
and an American reprint Of Dante.

Babies.

A contemporary exposes himself to
the execration of mothers by the
following cold-blooded TRADE. He
says: "The persistency with which
some mothers thrust their babies
upon the notice ofsociety may be an
amiable weakness, but it is never
theless a bore. Babies are we'll
springs of delight, no doubt; but
everybody is not athirst for them.
If they were rarity, they would,
perhaps, be held in more general
esteem but, alas they are as plen-
tiful as blackberries, and so very
much alike that it is difficult to dis
tinguish the 'sweerest baby in the
world from the next one you meet.
The domestic histories of babies, as
related by their maternal historians,
are also nearly indentical. They all
have the same winning ways make
the same little ailments so that the
nursery anecdotes of one fond
mother would suffice, with very
slight variations, for the entire tribe.
1t is true that some infants sleep
well o'nights, and that others
mor's the pity-are of dissipated
nocturnal habits, and insist upon
being walked about in their parents
arms when they ought to be in those
of Morpheus; but that is of no i'm
portance except to the parties i'm
lnediately concerned. Their un-
timely sprees are of no interest as a
breakfast-table topic; and whether
their techiness is superinduced by
teeth or original sin, concerns not
the world at large. Unless fond
mothers have some little compas
sion on suffering community, and
cease to bore us with their nursery
chronicles, we must rouse ourselves
and settle the grievance in the Hero
dian fashion; and if we once begin,
we shall not confine our remedial
efforts, to children two years old
and younger but shall take a much
wider range!' What a monster q
bachelor can be! Some devoted
woman should come to the rescue
of the ''babies Of the period'' by
marrying this fellow.

Wintering Bees.

taNo one in this latitude should at
tempt to winter bees out of doors
on their summer stands, without
some thought and care for their
proper protection. Cold will not
injure colony Of bees of proper
strength We have seen bees, in an
old battered hive with the top warp
ed and a crack through its whole
length, come safely through most
severe winter, while those in good,
tight hives near them s.frozen to
DEATH" the owner said He could
not understand it, but we do, per.
fectly we'll. The bees in his nice
hives, although he found them frozen
into solid ball, did not perish Of
cold; there was no outlet at the top
for the moisture of there breath to
pass off-this accumulated causing
dampness of the hive and about the
cluster of bees, which formed into
ice when severe cold came. The
cracks in the old hive secured the
necessary upa0ard ventilation. All
moisture could pass Off freely from
them, and when cold weather oc-
CURED, it did not harm them.
Our rules for the safe wintering
Of bees are: l. Allow every colony
that is to be wintered out of doors
at least 25 lbs. of honey in hive 1st
of November. 2. A cluster of bees
sufficiently large to extend at least
through two thirds of the comb in
any ordinary hive. 3. One or two
inch holes to be left open in the
top of the hive under the cap or
cover. 4. Ifthe hive be shallow,
winter passages or holes through
the combs, to enable the. bees to
reach their stores by "short cut"
in very cold weather without pass
ing over frosty combs. Honey will
not benefit bees if-it is where they
cannot get it without freezing. 5.
Some protection for the hives, sufi-
clent to prevent the sun striking
them in warm days-which excites
the bees and draws them out Of the
hive, when many perish. A few
boards set up in front or little
corn fodder placed around them,
answers very good purpose-the
IDEA being not to protect from the
cold but from the sun.
Entrances should be nearly closed,
but not entirely so, for confinement
of fany kind bees do not like.
When bees can be put in q dry,
dark cellar, not too warm, they con
sune much less honey thar when
left out doors. In the cellar they
should have upward ventilation and
be undisturbed. When in box hives
or gums, the hives should be invert
ed They should not be carried to
the celler until it is quite cold, and
be brought out again some warm
day in March.
All who use .novable-comb hives
will find it well when preparing their
bees for winter, to take from the
hive one comb, Choosing one as
near empty Of honey as possible
then move all the frames slightly,
so as to give more room between
the combs for the bees to cluster.
We have done this for seven win
tiers and find it a great help. The
comb thus removed should be care
fully preserved and put back in the
spring, and the others restored TO
their original position.-Bee Keep

Love at Seventy.

A Boston correspondent. tells the
folio wing =
Here is touching little romance !:
half century ago, two young peo-
ple-youth and maiden in a country
village-loved each other. Unkind
fate prosecuted them and denied the
legitimate reward of mutual affec-
ton. Both married and lived in
widely separated towns, children
grew up about each, and the cares
of life came upon them; but the
spark Of that early love burned in
both bosoms. Once in great while
they exchanged letters. At last the
wife died; his children grew up and
went to the bad, and he was left a
lonely old man. poor and comfort
less This summer her husband
died. Soon as blessed defunct was
put comfortably under the sod, the
widow packed up her goods and
started for the home of her first
love. She arrived one afternoon,
and was directed to his house, but
its master was absent. Nothing
daunted, she weEt in and sat alone
till he returned. Imagine the meet
ing of tender old creatures of sew
enty, who had been faithful to each
other through fifty years. She re-
NAMED in his house a few days;
then they were married; and the
neighbors say, that never did hu-
manity afford such similitude to
two very sentimental turtle doves
as in the welded bliss Of these alb
surd old people. They are living
now. stepped in happiness, it would
seem, and, no doubt, fully believing
in the maxim, Better late than

Trlssty Farm Hands.

Any man who goes into the en-
ployment Of another, should take
his position with the determination
Of making the connection between
himself and employer one of mutual
benefit. Farm hands are liable to
lose all but selfish interest, and make
their chief object to pass away their
time and receive money. The OBJ
lection is not usually an unwilling
ness on the part ofthe employe to
perform sufficient labor, but lack
of carefulness and perfect trust.
Some hired men are to sensitive
and appear unwilling to he instruct
ed in the performance of any job,
others are willing to do any way
suggested, right or wrong, and to
execute it in the quickest possibie e
manner, regardless of result. Now
to the parties concerned. A hired
man should become as one of the
farmers family, and make his en-
ployer's interest his own, and show
himself trustworthy.
zItmakes no difference how much
muscular strength a man may pos
sess, or how much labor he may be
able to perform, if he cannot be
trusted out of sight with the care OF

A farmer wishes to know when
the s'barn chores are finished, that
the cattle and horses are all in their
proper places, and made secure, land

wastefully fed : that when his team
