A Swarm. of bees and a bountiful
store of wild honey were recently
found in a tree by wood choppers on
the west side of the Sierra Nevada
Mountains. The incident is recorded
as the first discovery of the kind on
the Pacific slope. There were no
wild bees beyond the Sierras when
that portion of the country was FIRST
occupied by emigrants from the Allan
tic board /; but it was soon discovered
that bees imported from "the States

engaged carly in the business acquired
large fortunes from the production of
honey for the markets.

Fusel Oil Whisky.

The recent developments of adulter-
atoms in liquors have shown the al
most universal existence of fusel oil
as one of the constituent elements in
most of the spirits sold at our bars,
even the best of them. We need not
say that it is not n very wholesome
article to take into ones stomach. A
liquid which is strong enough to dis
solve the resins, fats sulphur, phos-
phorus, &C., must have an ugly po-
tency in rotting the mucuous mem
branes. We find that it acts on the
system as IN irritant poison, produc-
ing nausea, headache and giddiness.
1t is absolutely frightful to think
how much of this membrane and It's
sue destroying poison has been swal-
lowed during the past year in New
York, even by those who have tip
pied at fashionable bars in imaginary
security. One reason for the preva-
lence of the fusel oil whisky and
brandy has been told US by a gentle
man who was familiar with the Gov
eminent seizures of liquors during the
years 1867 and 1868. The rectifiers,
fearful of coniscation of their stocks,
and dispo5ing of them as rapidly as
possible, almost universally neglected
to expel the fusel oil by the requisite
process. Hardly any of the whisky.
put on the market during these years
was properly reotiied, owing to their
haste to prepare it for the market
Rotten and rotting stomachs have
been the result, and the wisdom of to-
tai absence is more than ever justified.

From the Two Republics, published in the

Letters from all parts of the Re-
public present n sad picture of the
rapid diminution of commerce, and of
the Decentralization of the industrial
enterprises of the country. A con-
viction seems to be creeping into the
minds of many intelligent persons in
various sections that the public men
of Mexico are unequal to the situta-
ton. Complaints come in that, in
the administration ofthe Government,
in-legislation, and in the judiciary,
there is a marked want of ability
either in wisdom or will, requisite to
the age and the necessities ofthe coun-
try While we do not concur with
all that our correspondents assert, we
feel the truth of much of what they

Wedonot think there is either a lack
ing of wisdom or will on the part ~aof

the hands of their representatives un-
der the long cherished hope that they
would, in their wisdom and patriotism,

Truths Worth Remembering,

He that dissembleth with God is
not to be trusted by man.
Submission is the footprint of faith
in the pathway of sorrow.
When we fancy that we have grown
wiser, it is only, in many instances,
that new prejudices have taken the
places of old mes
When you are angry don't write.
Words when spoken are air, but when
they are written they are things.
The greatest truest nobility is to
be a servant of God. He is noble de-
scended who is from above.
Forgive not the man who gives you
bad wine more than once. 1t is more
than an injury. Cut the acquaintance
as you value your life.
Inever knew a truly estimable man
offer a finger, it is ever a sign of a
cold heart; and he who is heartless is
positively worthless, though he may
be negatively harmless.
1t is not until the flower has fallen
off that the fruit begins to ripen. So
in life it is when the romance is past
that the practical usefulness begins.
Do not sit dumb in company That
looks look either pride, cunning, or
stupidity. Give your opinion modest
", but freely; hear that of others with
candor /; and eve endeavor to find out
aud communicate truth.
A successful book is often a greater
event than a successful campaign.
There are noiscless events in the his
tory of the human mind that do not
scar the forehead of the world as bat
ties do, yet change it not the less.
SELF-REsPEcr AND SELF-DErExp-
ENT.-Be and continue poor, young
man, while others around you grow
rich by fraud and ~disloyalty /; be with
out place or power while others beg
their way upwards ; bear the pain OF
disappointed hopes, while other gain
theirs by fattery forego the gracious
pressure of-the hand, for which others
cringe and crawl. Wrap yourself in
Your own virtue, and seek a friend
and your daily bread. Jf.you have.
in such a course grown gray with
unblenched honor, bless God and die.
Lead.

The Cleveland Herald of the 18th
mat. seems to be a good deal alarmed
over a Democratic festival held at the
Miller House in Ashland on the 9Th
of january. That Journal devotes
nearly a column to a discussion of the
responses given by gentlemen, at that
supper, to the toasts read. AT the
same time, the Herald says it must
not be presumed that it cares any
thing about the matter, or fears the
spread Of sound Democracy in little
Ashland. We have heard ofcowards
whistling before, to keep their cour-
age up. The uneasiness of that paper
arises from the fact, that although it
has announced the death of the Dem
ocratic party annually, for more than
ten years., the party Jet survives,
and is growing stronger every year.
No man in the world rests more un-
easy than the culprit who commits
some heinous, crime. He fears detec-
ton and punishment; and is always
in a state of-trepidatien lest he may
be found out. The tneasincss of the
Herald can be explained on no other
principle. The bare fact that a few
of the Democrats of Ashland should
assemble and have a supper, offer a
few toasts, and make a few speeches
causes each particular hair of the edi.
ter of the Herald to stand on end.
What's the matter? Do you fear
that if the Democratic party should
get the ascendency in the government
the rascalities and corruptions of the
Republican party would be uncovered
and held up to the gaze of an indig-
nant people j? Be calm, Mr.. Herald;
do yourself no violence; the Demo
cratic party lives, and will again rule
the country.
