THE american Bee Journal allows q
correspondent to say that fugitive
swarms of bees can be stopped by
binding them somehow by the use Of
looking-glass; all of which seems to
us the merest bosh
A swarm of bees covering an area Of
several rods square would hardly be ar
rested by flashing through them the
rays of light that would be produced by
such an operation.
1t has an article on the Egyptian
bees, which it considers the primary
race-that the Greeks introduced them
from Egypt into their country. Subse'
quently they found their way to Rome
and thence over the world. 1t quotes
the following paragraph from Roman
writer with reference to the desirable
ness of their introduction considered in
a pecuniary sense:
1.-THE field on which bees are fedis no
whit the barer for their biting When
they have taken in their full repast Of
flowers or grass, the OK may Craze and
the sheep may fatten on their rever'

ago, and gives indication Of an eye to
profit which would seem like 1870

senator Thurman.

The recent speech Of this gentleman,
in the Senate, on the Ku-Klux bill, is
thus commented upon by correspon-
dent: -...
AS o legal argument it seems to be
almost unsurpassed. He fairly riddled
the first and second sections, and said
that they would prove so obnoxious to
the people that they would be dead
letter on the statute book. He main
tanned, therefore, that the third and
fourth sections were really all that
there was in this bill, and if it was not
for them it would be dropped inmedi-
ately. These sections gave to the Pres
ident Of the United States a power
which was possessed by only two mon
archs in the world, the Car of
Russia and the Sultan Of Tur-
KEY. Under these sections the
President can Of his own will declare
war against the people OF any State in
this Union. Such an idea as this was
unknown to the trainers Of our Consti-
tuition. To give to the President, and
he probably candidate for reelection,
this power, said Mr.. Thurman, to put
in his hands absolute control over the
elections, is the destruction of the
country. He may not. only shipwreck
his own fame, but shipwreck the very
liberties OF this country, when this dis
erection is given to the President to sus-
pend the writ Of habeas corpus. He
showed that the power to suspend the
writ was a legislative power, and could
not be delegated, and argument on this
point was not necessary. lie agreed
with the Senator from Illinois (Mr..

fore us is, whether we are to revolution
ize this government and no longer have
