"A gentleman lin Canada gives a history OF
q battle between two swarms Of bees a few
.dsys ago. One swarm, he says, took $forcible
possession Of their neiighbors' barracks, and,
as the attacked defended their rights, a furi-
GUS fight commenced, and the battle ragged
from $50 to P. M. Nex morning, as the sun
appeared, The battle was resumed, the maraud-
ers appearing not in good condition, yet show
ing. great pluck. The carnage continued with
outintermisslon, TIL l0A. H., when hundreds
of dead bodies lay on the plain At IL the
battle ended, when there was not one OF the

In all quarters Of Germany a genuine feel4
ing of Joy seems to prevail at the re-establish-
.ment of the German Empire. Memorial trees
are being planted everywhere, and the sentt-
ments Of the people find expression In the CIV
Ing of presents from individuals and commnni-
ties to the prominent actors in the late war on
the side of. Germany. Thus, Won Moltbe re-
cei7es a hogshead of cologne from an enthusi-
astic admirer. Bismarck has como in Tor a
~~wagonload of hams from a country squire,
and somebody else has been given a barrel OF
herrings BY some devoted follower. The Pres
ident may say, in his next. message, that the
institutions of<he two countries are o more
nearlyapproached than before. z
IA great many engineers and shlp-buliders
predict that q few years hence iron steamships
will be asobsolete andold-fashioned as wooden
ones are.now. Steel, they say, will be the ma
terial which will be used.in the ship-building of
the future, the substitution of which tor iren
will be an infprovementalmos equally as great,
and add as materially to the strength and buoy
arcy of vessels, as did iron when that was first
made to take the place of pine, oak and teak.
But the Improvement will not cease there.
LIQUID fuel will be- introduced to take the.
place Of coal, thereby reducing the cost, and
adding to the carrying capacity, as it will do
away with the bulky ~coal-6unkers, only re-
curing. fat tanks at the very bottom of the
vessel, from which itcan be pumped up by ma
chinery as &c is needed In the furnaces, which
win also do away with the '.stokers," and save
expense in the construction. OF the boilers.
There are at present building on the Clyde,
mostly tor English firms, from thirty to forty
small steamers, designated expressly for the
China trade. Since the opening of the suez
canal, land the Introduction of steam on the

London tea clippers are virtually, over, for In
the future, and more especially slncsthe COM
plefion Of the East India telegraph system, the
trade inyteas, silks, and other products of the
