The Largest Beehive i'm the World.

In Los Angeles county, on the east
ern slope of the San Fernando range of
mountains, and in the immediate vicinity
of the Leaning Petroleum Company's
oil region, there is the most wonderful
collection of wild honey in existence.
The hive is located in rift, which pene-
trates the rock to the depth of prob
ably 100 feet. The orifce is so feet
long and II feet wide; four passages.
This rift was discovered to be'the abid-
ing place of swarm of bees, that is
represented as coming out in nearly
solid column one foot in diameter. Ger
tain parties have endeavored to descend
to the immense store of honey collected
by these bees, but were invariably driven
back, and one man lost his life in the
effort. Others have, at the expense of
much labor and money, built a scaffold
125 feet high, in the hope of reaching a
place whence they could run drift
into the rock, and extract its we'll
boarded sweets, but finally ceased their
work. Within four years the bees have
added not less than fifteen feet of depth
to their treasure, as ascertained by
actual measurement, and it is thought
that at the present time there cannot
be less than eight or ten tons of honey
in the rock. A man named B. Brophy
lives in cabin not far from the
spot, and obtained from the melting
of the honey by the SUMS heat, more
than enough for his family require
ments. All through that region i'm
mense stores of wild honey are found in
trees, in the rocks, in nearly every
olaoa ,,bora ;ts industrious y,on,,Hoc
turers think of-for bees seem to think
that it will be secure. They consume
very small proportion, as the climate
enables them to keep up operations
nearly every day in the year, and flow
ers of some sort are always in bloom.
1t must be very severe season indeed
when the little fellows are not seen
abroad in vast numbers, busily engaged
in their mellihuous work.-,San Fran

A COmanche Brave Captures the Heart
of Wash ngtOn Belle.

Among the red men now visiting the
capital to smoke the pipe of peace is a
youthful Comanche brave, who has at
tracted no little attention from the
ladies of Washington. The other day,
during a visit of several families to the
hotel where he is stopping. he saw a
pretty young lady of about his own age,
the daughter of one of the wealthiest
men of the city, and fell so violently in
love with her at first sight that when
the party left the house he followed her
to her residence. For two or three days
subsequently he was observed hanging
around the vicinity, occasionally catch
ing a glimpse of her; and, strange to
say, the young lady has conceived an
equally violent passion for him. On
Saturday last she went out riding with
him in the elegant barouche belonging
to the paternal mansion, and when
those having charge of her strictly for
babe any further exhibitions of such
bad taste on her part, she frankly de-
clared her intention of wedding the
Comanche. On the other side. the
young Indian has been freely supplied
with money, and declares that he will
not return to the happy hunting grounds
of the West unless the object of his de-
votion should go with him. Of course
such deplorable state of affairs has
necessitated some action on the part of
the authorities. The Commissioner of
Indian Affairs has therefore been mott
fed that the susceptible Comanche must
be made to leave the city forthwith, and
thousand dollar draft has been ten
dered him by brother of the misguided
girl as bonus for his departure. But
the Comanche is incorrigible and stead
lily resists all overtures. The delicate
circumstances of the case, and the fear
of their names being given publicity in
the event of denouement, have so far
worked upon the relatives Of the girl
that she will be taken hence to New
York on the through train tonight,
and, notwithstanding the lateness of
the season, will quietly take passage for
Europe by an early steamer, the dis
tracted millionaire whose daughter she
is perceiving no other way to cure her
of her unhappy predilection.- Wash

Sword and PloW.

1nsre once was count, so I've heard il said
" no Jolt that his end drew near:
ana ne called his sons before his bed
10 part them his goods and gear.
DE called for his pillow. he called for his svyo-d
Inc gallant, good and brave;
Ihey brought him both at their fathers word
And thus he his blessings gave:
MY hrst-born son. my pride and might.
DO thou my sword retain;
My castle on the lordly height
And all my bright domain
On thee, my well loved youLger bow.
My pillow here bestow,
A peaceful life shalt thou enjoy
In the quiet vale below"
Contented sank the sire to rest,
Now all was given away:
The sons held true his last behest,
Zen on their dying day.
Now tell US what came of the steel of fame.
Of the castle and its knight!
And tell US what came of the vale so tame,
And the humble peasant wight ?"
o, ask not of me what the end may be?
ASK OF the country round
The castle is dust, the sword is rust,
The height is but desert ground.
But the vale spreads wide in the golden pride
VI the autumn sunlight now;
1t teens and it ripeps far and wide.
ana the honor abides with the pillow.

Almost as Bad as a Murder.

On Sunday a young girl named Mile
Riddle was approaching the railroad
track of the Allegheny Valley railroad,
near Brady's Bend, Pa, carrying a
bucket of water in each hand The
locomotive was coming down at the
time, when the girl stopped to let it
pass before crossing. A man standing
by told the girl she was afraid to cross
the track before the locomotive, when
instantly at the banter she started, but
had not taken two steps when the
engine came laundering along, striking
and crushing her almost to atoms,
portions of her body being gathered up
with shovel.

A Legend Of the Northland.
BY PHGBE CARY.

BY PHGBE CARY.
Away. away to the Nsrthland,
where the hours of the day are few.
And the nights are so long in winter,
They cannot sleep them through;
Where they harness the swift reindeer
To the sledges when it SHOWS;
And the children look like bears cubs,
In their funny, furry clothes.
They tell them curious story
don't believe It's true;
AND yetyou may learn a lesson,
Il 1tell the tale 10 you.
Once, when the good ST. Peter
Lived IN the world below,
And walked about it preaching,
Just as he did, you know.
he came to the door of cottage,
In travelling round the earth.
where a little woman was making cakes,
ana baking them on the hearth:
And being faint with fasting.
For the day was almost done,
He asked her, from her store of cakes,
10 give him a single one.
So she made very little cake,
But as it baking lay,
She looked at it, and thought it seemed
100 large to give away.
Therefore, she kneaded another.
And still a smaller one;
0Ah II 1OONtus Wu6Q she turned 1t over,
As large a. the first had done.
Then sne took a tiny scrap of dough
And roll ed and rolled it fat;
And baked 1t thin as a wafer
But she couldn't part with that.
For she said. Ny cakes that seem too small
hen eat of hem myself
Are yet too large to give away"
30 she put them on the shelf.
Then good St: Peter grew angry.
For he was hungry and faint:
And surely such woman
was enough to provoke a saint.
And he said. Y ou re far too selfish
To dwell in human form,
To have both food and shelter,
AND hre to keep you warm.
New you shall build as the birds do,
And shall get your scanty food
By boring. and boring, and boring,
All day, in the hard. dry wood"
Then she went up through the chimney,
Never speaking a word;
And out of the top few woodpecker,
For she was changed to bird.
She had a scarlet cap on her head,
And that was left the same:
But all the rest of her clothes were burned,
BLACK as coal IN the fame.
And every country school-boy
Has seen her in in the wood;
where she lives in the trees to this very day,
Boring, and boring for food
And this is the lesson she teaches,
Live not for yourself alone
Lest the needs you will not pity
Shall one day be your own.
Give plenty of what is given you,
Listen to PHYS call;
Don't think the little you give is great
AND the much you get is small.
NOW, my little boy. remember that,
And try to be kind and good,
" hen you see the woodpecker's sooty dress,
And see her scarlet hood.
You mayn't be changed to a bird, though 70,
live
As selfshly as you can;
But you will be changed to a smaller thing
a mean and selfish man.

Short of IIay.

While waiting for a train at White
River Junction, one day in February, |
talked with stranger from near Con-
cord, N. HI. He was farmer, and had
SO head of cattle of which seven were
cows; the others were young animals,
fattening steers and oxen. One yoke
weighed 3400 lbs. On account of drouth
he cut only about so tons of hay, and as
his was grass farm he had but little
straw or corn fodder. Meal was cheaper
in Concord by the hundred or ton than
hay, so he fed in the morning two quarts
of corn meal and two quarts of shorts !;
at noon a liberal feed of hay; at night
two quarts corn meal and one quart of
oil meal. In this way hay was fed only
once day, and as strange as it may seem
to those who feed hay or straw FIVE times
a day, the cattle, | was assured, were in
prime condition, some Of them good beef
In this way of feeding one ton of hay is
as much as a COW needs through the win
ter. How many persons in this country
will probably be short of hay2 Will it
not be we'll to try this method, in de-
gree, feeding more meal and less hay?

teen persons at the commencement and
thirty FIVE different persons during the
session, including democrats and specta-
tors. Hon. Senaca NJ. Dorr of Rut-

of delegates to Cincinnati was elected.
most of whom are as yet unknown to
fame, however fortune may have smiled
upon them. Several others who had
signed the call for that meeting repudiat-
ed the same as soon as they found out
what it was. At present it is tolerbly
evident that the people of Vermont have
no idea of repudiating their republican
faith.

CAPTAIN HALLS ARCTIC ExPEDI.
TIoN.-Advices have been received from
the Arctic expedition under Captain
Hall TO March LIST. The Polaris had
been two days at Disco, Greenland, I'M
dergoing repairs and procuring fresh
supply Of provisions. On the afternoon
of February Sth, she encountered very
heavy weather and by repeated collis-
ions with "icy snags" sprung leak so
that she was obliged to bear up for Disco.
The men SO exhausted by labor at the
pumps that another day at sea would
have caused them to abandon the vessel.
IL was necessary to throw over a large
quantity of provisions. Discoveries had
been made which led to the conviction
that in the extreme and undiscovered
North there is at times genial atmos-
phere and open seas. Plants were de-
tected in the ice which are indigenous
to southern climates, and the examina.
ton of floating stick of wood found on
Saturday, January 14th, proved it to be
limb OF some huge birch. Through
out the whole month of January very
little ice was seen, and each night the
sky glittered with meteors of the most
gorgeous description, which flashed so
brightly across the armament as to daz-
zle the eyesight. The most important
clew to the existence of polar passage
is the fact that the crew of the Polaris
had killed whale having in one of its
fins harpoon similar to those used in
the south Pacific, and this happened in
region where, as Captain Hall says,
&C. the sail of an American or European
vessel had never been given to the wind
before" In May Captain Hall hopes to
make clear passage to the undiscover-
ed pole. Captain Hall asserts that if
there be any habitable land in the vicin-
ity of the north pole, it will be salu-
brious climate, and his only fear is
that he and his men may have to en-
counter before landing new and for
midable race of human beings. After
the Polaris had been thoroughly caulked,
which it was thought would be about the
9th of March last, she was to start upon
the original course, and the captain pro-
posed to carry an abundance of coal, SO
that he may make all possible Roadway
during this available season. Captain
Hall expects to be at home in Septem-
Der.

A Prussian baker named Franz

which alleviated his rheumatic pains and
sent him to sleep. One evening lately
the servant entered, lit the fire, and see
ing the old man in the oven, told him to
come out, as he would get warmed up too
much. He refused, and the servant
thinking the heat would soon scare him
allowed The cooking to go on. Toward
9 o'clock in the evening he was found
baked almost to a crisp. The servant
brought before the court, declared that
she had completely forgotten the old
man, and was condemned to only "a
