Death OF Horace Greeley.

Horace Graeley is dead. He passed
quietly away from the scenes of life,
early on Thursday night. We shall in
dulge in no long comments upon this
event. Only three weeks since he re-
'sumed his chair as editor of the Tribune,
after heated and unsuccessful canvass
as candidate for President of the United
States. We thought 1t OF good omen.
We knew that good heart and wise
head, on able pen, and chastened spirit,
we're gained to the country. We ex-
pected much from his teeming brain and
ever active thought. But his career has
been cut short, aud the iIlustrious editor,
disappointed in his hopes. distressed in
his feelings, the victim of recent and
most affective bereavement, worn out
with solicitude and toll, and by the chat
ing of high spirit against the barriers
of it's earthly tenement, has succumbed
to the great enemy, and is no more.
God reat his soull We feel like we had
lost friend. and our country defender.
His recent career entities him to the era-
titude, the affection and the respect of
the people of the South. They will not
be reluctant to render it to him. His
name will long be honored as that of
writer Of transcendant genius, of inde-
fatigable industry, and of extraordinary
skill and power. AS man he was dis
tinguished for his pure life, gentle dis
position and affectionate heart.

Gentlemen, it would seem that it we're
eminently proper that this department
Of the Government-the Judiciary
above and aloof from the parties, the
passions and the strifes of the hour.
should do full homage to the memory Of
the great man, who has so suddenly and
sadly been taken from us. For in look
ing back upon his long, eventfnl and
illustrious career, what is it that most
strikes us? Is it not tho philanthropist,
embracing the world in his sympathes?
Is it not the patriot, serving with single
mind, devoted heart and untiring ener-
gies his country? Is it not the man,
noble, sincere, humane, courageous, with
O henrt of womanly tenderness, and
hand ever open as day to every need Of
every poor suffering individual, man or
woman, OF whatever cline or country?
And suffer mo to add. from lifelong
personal knowledge of him, that with
him to serpe his kind, his country, his
fellow man, was alI.sufficient motive and
reward. Love of them, each and oil,
was the inspiration Of his almost match
less labors. To be permitted to minister
at these sacred affairs was enough for
him. It is most fitting. then, that our
country, as country, should truly
mourn and mark with every honor the
decease OF such devoted son, who, in
serving her and his fellow-men, the
world over, has done her such honor.
The Court, as grateful duty and pri-
vilege. will grant tho motion moved in
such touching terms by Mr.. Attorney,
and seconded 80 eloquently by my breth.
rem of the bar. The Court will stand
adjourned, in memory of the Hon. Ho-
race Greeley.

How TO Destroy Mosquitoes.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Scientific
Amer7can thus explains his process for
destroying mosquitoes:
The process for destroying mosquitoes
may be condensed into a few words
The strongest crystalized carbolic acid
should be placed into a bottle, and cover
ed with the same quantity of red cod
liver oil; shake the bottle thoroughly I'M
til whitish-colored foam appears; if such
foam does not arise. however, a small
quantity of powdered lime should be add
ed, with little water. Pour the mixture
into dish or other convenient article,
and place it directly under the open win
dow, as it is from this quarter the mo-
squito enters.
In my humble opinion the effect should
be explained in this manner: The mo-
ment the mosquito enters it loses the
scent of blood; for, as the combined odor
of the oil and acid is much more power
full than that of blood, it follows, as a
consequence, that the mosquito becomes
suddenly perpleXed. The consequence is
that after scrambling and skirmishing in
the dark, the mosquito is led, as it were,
instinctively into the mixture, where it
is either drowned in the oil or burned to
death by the acid.
Formerly | was accustomed to smear
my face, arms and breast with strong oil
alone, but frequently arose in the morn
ing smelling so terribly. that l was happy
to lay it aside. l have slaughtered more
mosquitoes with the article explained
above than ever could have done with
my fists or any other dangerous weapons

The Key of Death.

THE following singular tradition is re
lated OF a key in a collection OF cnriosi,es
preserved iii the a'Sena, at Venice
About the year 1900 one of those danger
Gus men, in whom extraordinary talent is
only the fearful source of crime and
wickedness beyond that of ordinary men,
came to establish himself as merchant
or trader in Venice. The stranger, whose
name was Tebaldo, b came enamored of
the daughter of an ancient house, already
attlanced to another. He demanded her
hand in marriage, and was, of course, re
jected. Enraged at this, he studied how
to be revenged. Profoundly skilled in
the mechanical arts, he allowed himself
no rest until he had invented the most
formidable weapon that could be mag
ined. This was a key of large size, the
handle of which was SO construed that
it could be turned round with little riiIii-
Guilty. When turned il disclosed a spring,
which, on pressure, launched from the
other end a needle or lancet of such fine
ness that it entered the flesh and buried
itself there without leaving any external
trace.
Tebaldo waited at the door of the
church in which the maiden whom he
loved was about to receive the nuptial
benediction. The assassin sent the slen-
der steel into the breast of the unsuspect-
ing bridegroom, The wounded man had
no suspicion of injury, but seized with
sharp and sudden pain in the midst IF
the ceremony, he tainted. and was carried
to his own house amid the lamentations
| of the bridal party. Vain was all the
| skill Of the physicians, who could not de
| vine the cause of this strange Illness, and
in few days he died.
| Tebaldo again demanded the hand of
| the maiden from her parents, and re-
ceived a second refusal; they, too, per
| ished mserably in few days.
| The alarm that these Deaths which ap
peared almost miraculous, occasioned, eX
cited the utmost vigilance of the magis
trates; and when, on examination of the
| bodies, the small instrument was found
| in the gangrened flesh, the terror was uni
versal; every one feared for his own life
The maiden thus orphaned had passed
the first month of mourning in Il convent
when Tebaldo, hoping to bend her to nj
will, entreated to speak to her at Thu
gate. Her reply was decisively in thu
negative.
Tebaldo, beside himself with rage, at
tempted to wound her through the gate
and succeeded. The obscurity of tn,
place prevented his actions from beip!
| observed. On her return to her room tn,
maiden felt pain in her breast, and, I'm
covering it, she found it spotted with
single drop of blood. The pain increased
the surgeons who fastened to her assist
ance, taught by the past, wasted no tim'
in conjecture, but, cutting deep into thu
wounded part, extracted the needle befor'
any mortal mischief had commenced, ant
saved the life of the lady. The State In
QUESTION used every means to discove
the hand which dealt these insidious an,
irresistible blows The visit of Tebald,
to the gate caused suspicion to fall heavi
ly upon him. His house was CAREFUL,
searched, the infamous invention discov
cred, and he persisted on the gibbet.

Hints to Bee Keepers.

THE Bee Keepers Magazine, journal de-
voted exclusively to bee keeping, has these
among other useful hints to apiarists:
AS natural talent or business tact is
requisite with education to success in bu-
siness, so careful turn of mind, and a
love for the business, with an understand
ing of the subject is necessary to success
in ee-keeping.
Put on honey boxes partly filled with
comb as soon as the lower part of the hive
is well filled with honey and bees and
when they are gathering honey plenti-
fully; commence with only one or two
boxes at time ON the most populous
stocks.
In transferring combs, always give
those the preference that cohtdia arO7her
brood. Put brood comb near the center
of the hive, in the order in which they
were in the box hive. Do your transfer
ring where robbers cannot possibly be at
tracted.
Avoid weak swarms as they gather but
little honey, breed slowly, and are in great
danger of destruction by robbers, the
moth, or severity of winter. Weak swarmS
should always be united in the fail, and
should never be made by dividing early
in the season.
Whenever you notice the bees running
about the entrance, in the evening, in Il
disturbed condition, mark that hive and
notice it the next evening If the bees
run about smelling each other, it is a sign
they have lost their queen, and should re-
ceive attention.
In establishing an apiary, select a gentle
slope to the southeast; face the hives in
the same direction; if possible, have run
ming water near; shade anG protection
from winds are important. Set every
hive as perpendicular as Il clock; for a
stand take two short pieces of four by
six inch scantling, and lay or nail on a
hoard

A correspondent of the RurM Neso
Yorker adopts this plan for keeping but
ter sweet for long periods. He has tight
and strongly hoped tubs of oak with
heads at both ends. The tubs are four
teen inches in diameter at top and nine
inches at bottom, and about sixteen in
ches high.
Now in packing this tub, sack of
white cambria is made TO fit the tub for
the reception of the butter. 1t is placed
in the tub as it stands on the small end,
the sides of the sack being long enough
to extend over the top of the tub. The
butter is packed firmly in this sack until
within one and three-eighths inches of the
top of the tub, when circular piece of
cloth is laid on the top of the butter, and
the sides of the sack brought over and
nicely plated down over the circular
cover. A layer of fine salt is now laid on
top, the head put in, and the hoops driven
so as to make perfectly tight fit that
will not admit of leakage
The tub is now turned upon the large
head, and the butter in the sack drops
down upon the larger end, leaving a
space between it and the sides and top OF
the tub. Now strong brine is poured in
at a hole in the bottom until it fills all the
intervening space between the tub and
the butter, when the hole is closed per
tectly tight with a cork The brine floats
the butter SO that it is completely sur
rounded with the liquid, and thus it is
etfectually excluded from the air.
Butter packed in this way, and placed
in cool, clean, well-ventilated cellar,
will keep sweet and sound for long
periods, and will go to market in prime
condition. When the butter is to be used
the tub is turned on the small end, the
hoops started, and the large head taken
| oil, when the butter may be lifted entirely
! out of the tub by taking hold of the ends
of the sack 1t may be placed upon d
| platter or large earthen dish, the cloth re-
moved from the top, and the butter cut
in desirable shapes for the table or fol
sale. If any portion remains, or Is moi
wanted for immediate use, that portion
may be returned to the tub, and in this
way it can be preserved for future use.
| The plan is It novel one for keeping but
| ter sweet and sound, and we are informed
| has met with entire success. The pack
| age holds about fifty pounds.
| When the butter is required for use, by
| lifting it from the tub and turning down
! the sack, The butter may be cut in hand
some shape to come upon the table, which
cannot he done in the ordinary way OF
| packing, as the butter must then be dug
ont in small particles, OF cut in untidy
! pieces.
/ Butter for the winter market is often
| packed in tirkins holding from sixty &c
/ eighty pounds. The tirkins are made
strong and tight, are provided with heads,
and when filled are headed up and brine
| poured through Il hole in the top head, so
as to fill all intervening spaces. In pack
Ing butter for market, it is important to
have neat and well made package. II
due attention has been given oth- manu-
ficiure and 10 the packages, aud If The
sound, there will he no trouble in market
ing it at Il good price.

KILLED BY A FALsEHOoD.-"H He is
dead" said friend of ours the other day,
in answer to an inquiry after the health
of a mutual acquaintance. "Dead! you
don't say so. OF what did he die?" ''Of
Credulity,'' was the reply, che believed in
a patent medicine of which the chief in
gredient was forty-rod rum, and it proved
the death of him." This was true; the
unfortunate man had taken for liver COM
plant compound of fiery alcohol and
root juice, ana it had killed him. Now,
did that misguided invalid require tonic?
He did; but not sniritous excitant. The
writer of this brief statement is confident,
from his own experience, that if the Mar
tyr to Dragged Alcohol had resorted to
DR. WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs, instead
of TO the prison Nth a medicat name which
proved fatal to him, he would to-day be
in the land of the living. The justly pop
ular vegetable specific contains no destruc-
tive element. 1t is tonic that does not
excite, a cathartc that does not weaken,
an antiseptic that neutralizes the seeds of
disease in the blood and other fluids of the
body, and a general Alternative which ar
rests diseased action in the secretive or
gans, and restores the functional regular
ity indispensable to health and vigor We
are no friend of indiscriminate praise,
and believe that many patent medicines
are merely poison, but the experience of
thousands has proved the VINEGAR BIT
TIERS to be all they claim.
