a LIVELY FREIGHT The Spectator,
a paper published In Hamilton, Canada,
says they had lively time with
swarm of bees OH train mt Princeton,
few days ago. Some one had freighted
the bees, aud when the train stopped at
the above named place, IT was discover
ed that the wire gauze placed over the
entrance Of the hive, to allow the bees
air, and at the same time to prevent
their escaping, had become somewhat
displaced. The bees had made the dis
covery first, and resolved to "swarm,"
and make the rest o. the journey ito
some western station whittier they were
being sent), in their own way. They
did swarm, too, and about the ears Of
officials. who for some time made ineffec-
tual efforts to induce the saucy little
creatures to 20 back into tho hive aud
be good. A dozen or more passengers,
who ran to the spot to learn the excite
ment, got their eyes bunged up rs the
price for their curiosity. But all did
feel sorry for one bright. blue-eyed beau
ty, whose nose suddenly assumed alarm
ing proportions. The train started on,
and the refractory little creatures, who
had refused to return to the hive. were
on the wing few rods behind
the train, doing their best to keep up,
generally coming in, as the train stopped !

The Defeat of Reconstruction in
..t..t. - w. - Mi6SiSsinni


~ Han informant Of the Alton Ill. J
Ys!s9r0oh whom that paper declares re-
liable. Is to be believed, reconstruction
was defeated in Mississippi by All afro
cious fraud. The Republicans, to pre-
vent the colored voters from being de-
ceived In consequence Of their inability
TO read, had tickets printed in Chicago
IN peculiar style, viz: Upon the back
Ot the ticket was Autographed the ma
ttonal flag in colors, the stripes running
aengthwise with the ticket. Upon the
reverse side were printed the words:
4 For the Constitution" and following,
the names Of the Union candidates for
Stntc officers. Through some misman-
agcnieft OIL the part Of the Union men,
the tickets were circulated q little too
.scOn, aud some of them fell into the
hands ofthe rebels, who at once saw
their object and immediately set about
getting up an imitation, with the differ
against the Constitution" together
with the names Of the Democratic can
didates for State officers, were printed.
The only distinction between the Union
ticket and the imitation, with the cx-
ception of the wording, was that the
impression OF the flag upon the original
was from steel plate, and upon the
fraudulent one from wood cut. This
difference was not apparent to the eyes
OF the freedmen, so that they voted |
against reconstruction by thousands,
while fancying that they were casting |
their ballots "for the flag" The mat |
ter deserves further investigation.

To Clean Paint.

There Is very simple method to clean
paint that has become dirty, and il our
house wives should adopt 1t, it would
save great deal Of trouble. Provide q
plate with some Of the best whiting to be
had, and have ready some clean, warm
water and piece Of flannel, which dip
into the water and squeeze nearly dry;
then take as much whiting "a will ad-
here to 1t, apply 1t to the painted surface
when little rubbing will instantly re-
move any dirt or grease. After which
wash the part we'll with clean water,
rubbing it dry with a soft chamois.-
Paint thus cleaned looks as well as when
first laid on, without any injury to the
most delicate coiors. 1t is far better
than using soap, and does not require
half the time and labor.-Couchnakc

Wonders Of Minute Workmanship.

In the twentieth year Of Queen Eliz.
abeth blacksmith named Mark Scaliot
made Q lock consisting of eleven pieces
of iron, steel and brass, all of which, to-
gether with key to it, weighed but
ono grain of gold. He also made
chain Of gold, consisting OF forty three
links, and, having fastened this to the
before mentioned lock and key, he put
them about the neck Of flea, which
drew them all with ease. All these to
gether, lock and key, chain and flea,
weighed one grain and Il half. Oswal-
dus Noningerus, who was more famous
even than Scaliot for his minute con-
trivanccs, Is said to have made sixteen

Some farmers seem to think that the
only object of working among corn il to
kill the weeds. But that is mistake.
The soil should be stirred often while
the corn is in the blade, even If there is
not weed within fifty rods Of il. This
is necessary in order to preserve tho
moisture and admit the air; for the roots
need air rs we'll as the blades.
A correspondent Of Hearth and Home
protects his melon and cucumber vines
from bugs with uniform success" by
this prescription: "Take sticks four
inches long and one half inch in dame
ter--pine is best. Wrap ono inch of one
end in piece of cotton or linen. Dip
this in turpentine, and stick one or two
In each hill, leaving only the wrapped
part above ground. The otor of the tur-
pentihe does the business"

eclipse. Those who have no astronomical ln-
struments nj command may amuse themselves by
watching from some commanding eminence the
changes in the color of the landscape, or by
noticing any variation in the form Of those
small spots of sunlight sometimes found under
trees which are miniature suns made in Natures
camera. when an isolated ray Of light penetrates
the foliage and reaches the ground. Our
mctropolitan readers will DO glad to know that
the partial eclipse will commence in this city
at ten minutes after five o'clock and continue
untll sunset, so that man may, after business
hours repair to the house-tOp with his family
and there witness, through his smoked opera
glass spectacle vast and magnificent, and
long to be remembered.
Those who expect to see signs OF approach
ing night during partial eclipse will be sadly
disappointed, for light does not seem to dlmin-
ish rapidly until about four-ffths of the suns
disk has been covered. Immediately after the
period of total observation the illumination Is
almost instantaneous, and the observer is sur
prised by a flood of light. This effect is
doubtless due to the enlargement of the pupil
during the darkness, by which the eye is pre-
nared TO receive the most delicate impressions
and to become coTespondingiy sensitive to
rapidly increasing solar rays.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1869-08-04

Marshal Barlow, we learn. yesterday seized a
number OF gunbOats, now in process of con-
struction, it is understood, for the service of
the Spanish Government. The Marshal acted
under orders from Washington, based on repre-
sensations and remOnstrances from the Peru
Wan Minister who, in view of the existence
of hostilities between his country and Spain,
protested against any strengthening of the
naval power of Spain from the ports and ship
yards of a sister republic, bound by treaty
stipulations to render no aid to the enemies of
Peru.
As the war between Spain and Peru has long
smouldered in state of suspended ANNA
ton, we presume it will now be closed by ne
collation. and that Spain will thereupon be en-
titled to take away her gunboats. Meantime,
however, the Cuban struggle may develop new
phases if not new complications.

come-a point which undoubtedly deserves
consideration. A more reasonable suggestion
is to refer the matter to the great commercial
convocation which is to meet at Keolluk on
the day of the eclipse. There we shall have
convention ready made, and by little dex-
terity the Capital question can be sprung upon
it. 1t is highly important to get the indorse-
ment of Keol,uk, and of this fact st. Louis Is
perfectly well aware. Besides, it is fitting that
so stupendous an enterprise, which is to in
volye the transfer of myriad tuns OF marble
monuments across half the breadth of a CONT
nent. which is to reduce proud capital to the
poverty of a hamlet, and raise peaceful trad
ing town to the dignity of continental me-
tropolis-an enterprise which has no parailel IN
history except the transfer of the empire OF
the world from Rome to COnstantln0ple-
