FUNERAL OF A BEE.-A correspon-

anits the following:' Con Sunday
morning last / had the, pleasure of
witnessing a most interesting ceremo-
ny, which IIwish to record for the
benefit of your readers. While walk
ing near Falkirk, we observed two
bees issuing from one of the hives,
and bearing the defunct body of q
comrade, with which they flew for a
sdistance oftWelve yards. We follow
ed them closely, and noted the care
with which they secured q convenient
hole at the side of the gravel walk /;
tile tenderness with which they COM
mitted the body, head downward, to
the earth; and the solicitude with
which they afterwards pushed two lit
tie stones, doubtless N memoriam.D
Their task being ended, they paused
for about moment, perhaps to drop
over the grave of their friend q SYM
pathizing tear, and then flew away to
their. hive" a'i

who was a strong Republican, a great
admirer of Beeeher, and a member OF
the same church.
sTo while away the time before the
train which was to bear him westward
should arrive, it was deemed best TO
seek a little quiet amusement in pri-
vate parlor, by indulging in the popu-
lar game of 'sseven up" or cold sledge."
: sfTo this game Mr.. Beecher made no
objections, stating that he played all
such games as checkers, back gam
: laon, chess, eueher. whist, etc, etc,

apiece. Here is the deuce, how's that
for high?'
The remark was SO original, and
the joke so good, that everybody
laughed, and Graves ordered in the

The importance Of this road to our en-.

has, doubtless, been miserable. The
Radical administration of our State is
highly ccnsurabe for the reckless issue
Of said bonds to this and other roads,
and must answer for their conduct to the
people, at the election in ~ In order
to cover up and keep this fact in the
background, the Radical papers are full
of abuse Of Denckla, Caldwell & Co, and
are loud in their denunciations Of the
gross frauds practiced by these gentle
men. Now we cannot doubt that some
one has been guilty Of most outrageous
swindlng, but we are equally certain
that this swindle could not have been so
large, had it not been for the utter disre-
gard of law, manifested in the issuance
of the " aid bonds. For this, the Of
fccrs charged with this duty, ard hence
the entire Republican party in Arkansas,
are responsible. Mr.. Dcnckla may not
have been able to have his dirty shirt
washed Ito use the elegant language Of
a Republican cotemporary) "when he
came TO our State or this we cannot
speak, as We are not intimate with his
laundress; but, one thing we can say, Mr.,
Denckla is the only man among all the
yaat horde of new corners that has et
fected anything for us, in the way ofrail
roads He secured the contract and the
road could have been built, and would
have been built long ago, if the men who
handled the aid bonds" had done theiI
duty faithfully. There could have been
no opportunity to swndle, and the peo'
pie will not be satisfied by wholesale
abuse Of Mr.. Denckla.
