Desperate Situation in France.

Paris is once more grdled with 100000
bayOnets, and it will be more difficult the
second time to break through the iron
collar which is gradually strangling the
army and the peopl at that great capital
But the news from the Loire is still more
overwhelming The army of the Loire,
under Aurelles de Paladine, called the
best general in France, has been decisively
defeated--losing forty guns-and he has
been compelled to evacuate the city of Or
leans, the recapture of which in November
gave an irrepressible joy to the whole
French natiefl. The reason why Orleans
assumes so much importance, is, that the
Prussian army could not advance on Tours
40 long as Orleans was held by the French.
Neither could the army of the Loire adj.
vance to the relief of Paris, unless they
were able to hold Orleans in their rear.
The King of Prussia so thoroughly appre-
ciated the vital importance of re-occupying
Orleans that it is believed he would have
sacrificed hundred thousand men rather
than fail. The army of the Loire is now
driven more than seventy miles from Paris
FIVE days march in bad weather-and,

Of Paris, the condition of affairs looks

ton is now, how long will Paris hold out ?

conclusion that il is useless to endure any

if the King of Prussia demand an uncon-
ditional surrender, the people will endure
extreme privation, and thus could hold ont
until the first of March.
The Germans are very indignant at the
resistance Of the gayest and most luxuri-
Gus city in the world to their conquering
armies. and are disposed to be very severe,
but policy may compel them to be lenient.
The situation in Germany is alarming.

Coming through the door,
Pushing, Crowding, making
A tremendous roar,
Why don't you keep quiet /?
Can't you mind the rule?

TEACHING Public School
Forty little pilgrims,
On the road to fame!
If they fail to reach it,
Who will be to blame? s@
High and lowly stations
Birds ef every feather
On common level,
Here are brought together.
Dirty little faces,
Loving little hearts,
Eyes brim full of mischief,
Skilled in all It's arts.
That's precious darling
What are you about?
"May I pass the water?"
Please, may 60 out?'
Boots and shoes are scuffling,
States and books are rafting,
And in the corner yonder,
Two pusilists are battling,
LOthers cutting didoas-
What botheration!
No wonder we grow crusty,
From such association
Anxious parents drop in,
Merely to inquire
Why his olive branches
Do not shoot up higher;
Sayashe wants his children
TO mind their p's and as,
And hopes their brilliant talents
Will not be abused.
Spelling, reading, writing,
Putting up the younger ones,
Fuming, scold.ng, fighting,
Squirting on the dumb ones,
Gymnasts, vocal music
How the heart rejoices
When the SINGER comes to
Cultivate the voices
Institutes attending,
Making our reports,
Giving Object Lessons,
Glass Drills of all sorts,
Reading dissertations,
Feeling like fool
Oh, the untold blessing

of honey from the hive, we have taken
from the bees what cost them 40 lbs. to
produce, thus robbing them of great part
of their work. 1t is calculated that every
acre of land produces on an average one
pound Of honey. All this vast amount
might be collected as easy as not with the
use of this hive.
The bees can be multiplied at will, thus
gaining by artificial means all the bees
that anyone may require. In fact they are
not allowed to swarm naturally. Care how
ever should be taken in regard to swarm
ing, as it is always best never to more than
donble the number of bees in one season,
as there is dangersof weakening the colo
MES. and reducing their numbers too
much.
The queen always works in the lower
sections, and like the honey getter, always
at work. She will deposit 5000 eggs ev-
ery "a hours, for about three summers.
It is generally thought best to remove her
about this time and get a young queen in
her place. When the queen becomes ter
tilted she remains so for life. There are
thousands of drones or males in each hive,
but.only one is necessary. AS the cold
weather approaches the working bees de-
stroy the drones. The workers are barren
females, and during the working season
seldom live longer than 20 or 30 days !;
their wings becoming useless from constant
wear, they cease to fly, drop to the earth
and perish.
Another feature in this hive demands
attention for the only pest bee has can
readily be seen and destroyed, thereby saw
ing, in many instances, whole hives of bees.
Authors differ somewhat in regard to how
the miller gets its eggs into the hive. Some
have entertained the opinion that it enters
the hive and deposits the eggs itself; but
this can hardly be the fact. The bee is
always willing and abundantly able to de-
fend its home against the moth, except it
be queenless swarm. The most reason
able theory seems to be that of Owen
Davis, the inventor of this wonderful hive,
and that is, " the eggs are extruded in the
morning and evening at the entrance of
the hive, the eggs stick to the hair of the
bee, and are thus carried into the hive and
there hatched."
Mr.. G. has several men employed in put
ting up these hives. He is going into the
business extensively. Mr.. R. L. Joiner
has also an interest in the enterprise.
They are taking orders during the winter
months. In the spring and summer they
will fill all orders and transfer bees into
this new and wonderful hive. We sincere
ly hope the above named gentlemen will
have abundant success in their undertak-
ing. 1t is subject that every farmer
ought to investigate. And every farmer
can have bees, and plenty of them. They
are no expense. They keep themselves,
and supply the table with luxury that
would crafty the m ost fastdious appetite

OLD FASHIONED HIGHwAYMEN.-We learn that
the down stage was robbed on Thursday night, at
about twenty minutes past tea O'Clock, on tne Sa-
lnas Plains, about ten miles this side of the
ing of the Salinas river, by two mounted highway
men, armed to the teeth, who posted themselves
on the upper side of o hill, next to the road, in
such position that resistance would have most
likely resulted in prccipitatng the coach and
passengers down q steep bank and killing all on
board. Under these circumstances discretion was
deemed to he the better part of valOr, and the
driver stood and delivered like true man. The
robbers ayowed their intention only to relieve the
stage Of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express box, which
was of course, very soothing to the feelings of
the passengers who generally, after trip to San
Francisco, return laden down with money. 1t is
not known what amount of booty if any, was Sc
cured.-Som Luis (Cot.) Tribune, J,tiy Is.

TIE LOST GIRL OF WALTHAM.
The Mystery OF Belle Loclke-Shc is Found
In n Shaker SOcicty-Cruel Conduct of Hei
Pnrents-Excitcment In Wnithnnl.

| lFrom the Norwich (Conu.) Advertiser July 27. !
The girl, Belle Locke, about whom there has
| been such an excitement In Waltham, Mass, has
| been found living among the Shakers, near Gro
| ton Junction. where it appears her parents have
| temporarily placed her for the purpose it is al
| legged, of correcting a strange thicving
propensity developed in her. The aunt of the
grl, who is opposed to this treatment, managed
to find out through friend, who lives at Groton
Junction, that there was Shaker village in that
vicinity, that he was acquainted with them and
that they took charge of children during their mi
Fifty. Accordingly the village was visited. Being
steps to the Elder Elijahs,, and appear
ing to be ignorant of their customs
he asked him if he took the charge of children
during their minority. This was replied to in the
if he had taken any since May, when he re-
piled =
''Well, don't think we have"
As the gentleman in the meantime had recog-
niZcd Belle to be one of a crowd of girls who
were picking peas in an adjacent field he looked
this honest old patriarch straight in the eye and
said -
elijah, docs Belle Locke live here"
This was more than Elijah bargained for; but
he replied that there was girl by that name
there. He then inquired Of this model elder if lie
were not aware of the excitement which the girls
mysterious retirement from her friends had caused
for miles around her house. The gentleman then
assured Elijah that, whatever his ideas might
be, the world did think that it was dastardly,
cowardly act to remove young girl, in the
bloom of youth, from her friends who loved her,
and whose love she returned to place her among
strangers, under rigid discipline, and to deprive
her of all intercourse with those whose attentions
and love had been her joy hitherto. If her parents
did not see their mistake and harsh treatment,
there will yet, he hoped, be some means by which
the girls person might be restored TO those who
sincerely loved her for herself. After few more
words with Elijah the gentleman left.
Afterwards the aunt visited the Sha fers but
they wouldn't allow her to see Belle, she left,
after giving them good ''piece Of her mind"
Meantime the Walthamites continue greatly en-
cited about the matter, their selectmen arc asked
to interfere, and the loafers are serenading the
Locke family with Shaker dittics.
