A TRUE STORY ABOUT BEEs.--A lady
in Providence tells me that her father
once brought home molasses hogshead
to be used as a water tank On washing
day, her mother said, LET us throw the
suds into it. to soak the molasses from the
bottom" The instant she had done so
she exclaimed, 90, have drowned hun
dreds OF our neighbOring bees !"
The hogshead was black with bees
that were busily appropriating the sweets
from what they must have considered an
enormous blossom. The good lady made
haste, with her skinner, to skim the
bees from the top of the water and
spread them on board in the sunshine
but they seemed drowned and nearly dead
and she was very sorry.
Ali the bees that We're around the
hogshead had flown away at the dash of
the water, but in few minutes they re-
turned, accompanied by scores of Others.
Then began curious work. They i'm
mediately went to work open the unfor.
Sunate bees, turning them over and over,
and working upon them constantly with
their heads, feet, aud antenna. The re-
suit OF their busy labor was, that one
aIter anoCher gave signs OF lie, stretched
its limbs and wings, crawled about and
dried itself in the sun, and flew away.
The lady said there were half pint, ut
first, and shat there remained only about a
dozen hopeless cases, beyond The humane
efforts of their brothers
No othe- insect has ever excited so
much interest and admiration as the bee ;
many lessons have been slearned from its
wonderful and ingenious habits; and in
this case baye no doubt that an observ-
ant physician might have gained some
useful hints as to the resucitation of the
drowned.
Ih's IS acertain true story, for heard
&c with my own ears, and Mrs Gardner
told It with her own mouth and said
she saw 1t with her own eyes-Mrs, M B.

CANNED MBAT-The men who con

markets with meat from the vast plains
of Australia, have discovered an unlock.
editor impeachment to their success. 1t
was found quite practicable to procure,
can, and ship the meat to London; and
this, too, was done at an expense which
enabled the meat to be offered TO con.
sumers at very low price. But at the
present time there are tons of Australian
canned meat living in the dock warehouses
OF England. The reason is, that there is
no market tor it, on account of the pop.
ular objection TO the article. The Lon
donefs don't want Australian Hmeat. No
matter how cheap it is. But this is an
objection that will, no doubt be overcome
by time and if canned meat does no,
have exactly the flavor of porter-house

found toothsome,sas we'll as economic Il

IRISHMEN-ORfN NC EBfEK.

One thing is certain - the People of the
United States ,CiN hare freedom in matters of
religious belief. If mans religious faith,
real or pretended, shall ever induce him to
violate and defy the law of the land, he must
answer for his illegal acts not for his heterodox
opinions. Of these. the State takes no cog
nizance; over them, it asserts no control.
With faith. good or bad, it has simply nothing
to do.
There are certain persons residing in our
City who call themselves Orangemen. They
are Professionals, generally of Irish birth or
lineage. and appear TO have rather more
antpathy to the Pope and to Popery than
most OF US perceive any good reason for. But
their opinions are nOwise subject TO our super
vision and, so long as their Orangeism does
not lead them to break the laws of the land.
it is purely their own matter wherewith the
rest of us have nothing to do.
July ~. 1890, was fought the battle of Augh-
rim. wherein Protestant King William III.
formerly Prince of Orange) routed Catholic
King James H., driving him from Ireland into
perpetual exile. Orangemen have been ac-
cust0med to celebrate that day by a process
sion, dinner, &c. Some of their banners, mot
toes, badges toasts &C., have given offense to
Irish Catholics hence, collisions and brawls.
Last year. the 0rangemen Iof our City, while
peacefully enjoying picnic, were set upon by a
mob of Catholic Irish and lshamefully abused:
no timely and forcible exertions being made by
the Police to prevent this outrage.
Day after tomorrow, the Orange anniversary
occurs and the air is thick with rumors that
the 0rangemen are to be assaied in over
whelming force by their hereditary foes, their
banners captured, their ranks broken, and
themselves savagely beaten: That such is the
purpose of few hot-heads, we cannot doubt;
that the great body of the Irish Catholics of
our City will lend the premeditated riot any
sort of countenance, we shall not believe till
we must.
The law measures and defines every mans
rights. If the Orapgemen shall attempt to
Overstep the laws, let them be arrested by the
police and punished as law-breakers; but let
no private citizen assume to constitute himself
their judge. If this is a land of law and order,
let us now prove it !

The most hattering picture of Southern So
ciety which we have yet seen is in the testi
mony of Judge X. b. Carpenter of Charleston,
s. c. This gentleman was once candidate for
Governor i'll that State, and before the Con-
eress Committee on KuKlux, last Saturday,
he testified that there had been Ku-Klux out
RACES in South Carolina, of which he did not
approve. But he further asseverated that the
Ku-Klux were men of high responsibility not
men of low character Furthermore, there had
been murderings burnings and similar out
RACES, by members of the Loyal League, long
before the organization of the Ku-Klux, leav-
ing the impression that the outrages Of the
Ku-Klux were to Offset those of the League,
which are now heard of for the first time.

The Medical Association of the District of
Columbia is illustrating to the world how
highly conservative body may destroy instead
of conserving its own existence. A little
while ago it refused to admit to its sacred
haunts physician who had been associated
on a City Board of Health with homeopath.
Now the same organization has expelled a
physician who consulted with physician who
associated with a physician who was a
homeopath as well as Member of the
Board of Health. In the mean time, however,
the same Association has agreed to say moth
ing about such misguided men as may consult
with cOlOred men. 1t is strong as ever on the
homeopathic issue, but agrees, as to the negro
question, TO be conveniently cOlOr-blind.

The Cable announces that the Lower House
of Parliament of the Netherlands has ratified
a treaty ceding the great island of New
Guinea to Great Britain. The island is GER
tainly much more valuable to the latter cOun-

belonged for fifty years without development
of its resources or improvement of its people.

Comments by The Tribune
Pennsylvania did not give a Democratic ma
jority in 1870 on the aggregate vote for Con-
gressmen. She elected 10 Republicans to If
Democrats, and gave a decided majority Of
her total vote for Republican candidates. A
contrary result has been figured by counting
as Democratic the whole vote cast for Mr.. j..
V. Greedy in the lid District. But Mr. Greedy
is not only Republican, who acts and votes
accordingly in Congress, but his friends claimed
that he had the regular Republican nOmina-
ton. SO also, VIM. b. Thomas, who ran against
the Hon. VIM. ID. Kelley in the WITH District,
is a Republican so, we believe, is Mr.
A. X. Wilmer, who ran against the Hon.
Oliver j. Dickey in the IXth Uancaster) Dis
trict. 1t is only by counting the votes cast
by Republicans for Republicans as Democratic
that Pennsylvania is made to give a Demo
cratic majority in 1870, when she did nothing
of the kind. By this figuring, Philadelphia
and Lancaster Counties together are made to
give only about 1900 Republican majority,
when they actually gave much more, and are
good for at least 1900 at a Presidential
Election.
Now take Pennsylvania out of the Demo
cratic and place it in the Radical" column
where it belongs, and The MercuIyS table will
show Radical" majority.
But this is not all, nor the worst.
Mississippi is claimed by The Mercury as
having given a Democratic majority for Gov
ernOr in 1869, while her vote actually stood:
Acorn RepubJ 1913 Dent (Dem.) ......3sI33
Republican majority ..........350l0
And every Republican candidate for State
office, with all five Congressman and Repub-
lican Legislature, were chosen by a similar
vote-iust about two to one. No election has
since been held in that State.
Take these two States out of the Democratic
column and place them where they belong,
(saying nothing of Connecticut, which went
Republican last Spring, as it has always done
in a Presidential cOntest), and we have III
"Radical" to 146 Democratic Electoral Votes,
about reversing The Mercurys majority.
Nor is this all Under the new Census, the
Republican States of Iowa, Michigan, Texas
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, and Kansas,
will gain many more Electors than Maine
Hampshire, and Vermont will lose; while
it is otherwise with the States set down as
Democratic in the above table. Make allow

The Mine Ventilation law of Pennsylvania
is in fair way to be enforced at last. Three
more injunctons have been granted by Judge
Harding at Wilkesbarre, in whose court the
first of these injunctiOns was granted the
other day. The defense has heretofore been
that the law was unconstitutional, and that
the State had no right to police the mines.
