A Presidential Arithmetic.

The 4th day OF January, 1870, the first
cottage at Long Branch was conveyed by
deed to President Grant for $32, 900. Di-
rectly opposite stands his second paatal
residence, 45 feet square, three stories
high, with basement and Mansard roof
finished inside and out with taste and
skill, by an architect of New Jersey, at IN
expense OF $4,000 His salary of S25,-
900 per year will scarcely suffice for his
expenses at Washington, and yet, these
two residences cost more than two years
salary, while the land and grounds be-
longing to the latter cost $40, 900!
Will our Grant Republicans show us
automatically. how I'LL of this large sum
has been saved from his three years salary
of $4,000 in all, to say nothing of the
valuable stock farm he owns in Missouri,
stocked with the choicest blooded animals,
worth 100000 more, and the costly stud,
appointments and equipage that he sports
at Washington and Long Branch. in
princely style. Will some of our Repub-
lican friends cipher out this problem, and
compare the habits of this representative
of Republic with the simplicity of his
distinguished predecessors. Bangor Com

Facts in Relation to Making Hay.


Attention has recently been called to the
very important matter of harvesting the
hay crop, but much more NAV still be said

The approach of the season when the hay
crop is to be gathered in led us to examine
some works in relation To the nature of
grass and hay as food, and to learn more
accurately, the true time of cutting grass
and the best mode of making into hay

StingIess Honey Bees.

In many parts of South America, but
more particularly where the antbear ranges,
there are Industrious honey bees without
StingS. They usually take possession of
hollow trees. in which they construct rows
of wax cups, nearly the size OF half an egg
shell. When full of honey, they are capped
over to exclude air, which preserves the
ccntents in fluid state. When one pot is
finished, they proceed with another, and
thus store up an immense amount of deli
rinus food of whch they are invariably
robbed without the power of offering rests
tdnce.
At the exact season when ants eggs are
deposited nature has so arranged it that
the antbear, which subsists almost entirely
on ants. avoid those hard clay pyrimids, the
mas i've homes of those Ingenious insects,
climbs the bee trees, and thrusting in its
long whiplash tongue, feeds sumptuously
on honey till the new crop of ants are grown
large enough for food. Just as the honey
is exhausted their wants are amply provid
ed for. Thus alternately animal and veg
etahlt alimeut is secured by an unalterable
laW, so that ants are kept within control in
one direction, never becoming Sufti .ently
numerous to DESTROY he source from whence
their own necessary food is derived.
Thus the race of anthears are sustained
during a particular period necessary for
the preservation of the race of ants-tna
the bees are iustrumrnlalitieS for sustain
ing the law without any apparent compen-
Saton for their unceasin@ labor beyond the
