THE NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL.-Of Col.
Ben. H. Bristow, who haze been, nominated for
Attorney Genera, the Louisville Courier-Jour7,-
al, Democratic paper, thus speaks: "Col.
Bristow is native of Kentucky and at present
a resident of Louisville. He lived in Hop kns-
vile up to the breaking out of the war, and at
its conclusion commenced the practice of law
in this city. Shortly afterward he was appoint
ed District Attorney Of Kentucky, and fulfilled
the duties of that position with such signal
ability that, some years since, the President
called him to Washington as the special legal
adviser of the Government The high talents
and extensive legal requirements which had
marked Col 4Bristow as one of the foremost
lawyers of this State soon made for him a very
enviable reputation at the national capital 1t
was about a year ago, we believe, that Gen.
Bristow offered the resignation, which, after
He resigned t. accept very honorable and lu-
cratives position connected with the Southern
Pacific Railroad, which he yet holds, Some
months since Gen. Bristow returned to this city
from Philadelphia, and is now, with bis fami-
w. domiciled at the Gait House. He ia bniidinr
a very handsome residence on broadway, which
he will be 10th to leave, even to accept seat in
the Cabinet. The new dignity, however, will
not add to the estimation in which Gen. Bris-
tow is held by his friends and admirers in this
CITY ana State, IL bas Deen remarked by gen.
tleman who has been intimately associated with
him, that to be in Gen. Bristow's presence is to
'instinctively recognize that one is brought in
contact with great man. He is, doubtless,
the most popular man in his party in this sec
ton, and the appointment will give entire sat
isfaction to the Republicans of Kentucky and
the South. Gen. Bristow is of a very striking
and handsome presence, man of culture, and
"a thorough gentleman. He is genial in his
manners, firm friend, and (those who know
him best say) pretty good enemy. He will
dignity and elevate the office which he is called
upon to FILL and will bring into the social lie
of the national capital personal and family re-
lations which win adorn that society,""

THE SENATE CoMMIrrEEs.

THE SENATE COMMITTEEs.
The Boston Advertisers special says that
there is much satisfaction all sides over the
arrangement that led to the appointment Of
Messrs. Sumner, Schurz and Fenton to the Sem
atecemmittees by the Republicans. The leading
spirit in bringing about these friendly relations
Ex-senator Norton Mr.. Summers chief COM
mittee, that on privileges and elections, will
during the present session be one of the most
important of the Senate, and the business to
come before it is of such character that Sen
ator Morton, the chairman, was very anxious
to have Mr.. Sumner added to it. Mr.. Morton
also took occasion to associate Mr.. Sumner
with himself on the committee on education
and labor, with view of having his assistance
in matters of importance soon to be brought
before it; and while the composition Of this
committe excites much laughter from the fact
that Mr.. Flanagan of Texas is chairman. yet
Mr.. Morton and Mr. Summer were added to it
in accordance with full understanding OF
what would be brought before it. The reten-
ton OF Mr.. Schulz on the foreign affairs COM
mittee will be quite satisfactory to Secretary
Fish, since during the Spanish complications
he has been constantly consulted by the de-
| partment on account of his personal knowledge
resulting from his ministerial experience at
| Madrid, and thus the relations between him
self and the Secretary have been quite. friendly
THE SALARY REPEAL.
When Mr.. Hale made his motion to refer all
bills offered relative to the salary question to a
| special committee on the subject, almost twenty
| measures were at once presented. Upon the
| proposition to authorize the committee to re-
| port at any time, which required unanimous
consent, Mr.. Negley of Pennsylvania attempted
| to prevent such permission being given, and
gave as a reason the indecent haste with which
| the repeal was being pushed. Mr.. Blaine
finally told MIR Negley that if he did object. it
was SO clearly the will of the house that the
| matter should be considered as early as possi-
Bile, that he should receive the report of the
committee az any time The expectation now
is that the proposed repeal will be debated at
length, u hTR grhllA 10 S901

A "REMINISCENCES OF MARK TWAIN,

A letter in the Washington Star says:
Buffalo has many "reminiscences of
Mark Twain, and Of his remarkable at
tempt at publishing a newspaper on an
entirely new plan. After his return
from the Holy Land, (per Quaker City
Mark took wife, and purchased the
third interest in the Buffalo Express,
owned by A. NJ. Clapp, public printer
They say that Marks style of news
paper work was unique. He is not an
early riser, and is slow of movement as
of speech, consequently he didn't get
to the Office very early in the morning.
not characterized by nervous haste.
Seating himself in a capacious pivot
chair, his first move was to deposit his
boots in the waste basket, and replace
them with roOmy slippers. Then eleva-
ting his slippered feet to comfortable
cushion on the exchange papers, their
only legitimate use in his estimation,)
it was his wont to lay back in his chair,
swinging himself lazily ON its pivot, and
tell stories of wit and wisdom by the hour
to the associate editors. This was vastly
pleasant to all concerned, but somehow
it did not work in the way of making a
newsy paper, and at the end of six
weeks Mark came to theconclusion that
publishing newspaper was not his
forte. He, however, retained his inter
est in the Express for about year and
half, though, as aforesaid he did not
take part in the active management
for more than six weeks. Mark mar
ried the daughter of Jarvis Langdon,
of Elmira, N. Y, the heaviest coal OPP
orator in the West. His property was
valued as high as ten millions dollars
in his life, and had he lived to get all
his irons out of the fire, perhaps that
amount might have been realized, but
leaving everything by the ends, there
has been great 'shrinkage, (the word
| believe) in the value of assets. Still
there is enough left to divide a trihe of
a few millions between Marks wife and
her brother, Charles Langdon. 1t was
through this brother, by the way, that
Mark got his wife. Charley was one
of the 'Innocents Abroad who accom-
panied Clemens ON his famous trip ON
the Quaker City, and wrote home so
enthusiastically about Mark Twain that
Mr.. LangdOn, ST., sent him cordial
invitation to visit them at Elmira. The
result was the meeting of Mark and
Miss LangdOn; a case of love at first
sigh4, and the twain becoming one.

ten frames Of comb and without par

All frames with brood are put togeth-
er, Of course, and the unsealed honey
as near the center as possible. l don't
believe We are hurting our bees byover-
hauling them at any time of the year,
even in winter, the weather permitting.
The exchanging Of places with the
frames is often beneficial and may save
the swarm.
After arranging all the frames in a
proper manner, the brood as near the
center Of the brood chamber as posi-
bic, / cover them up with a wooden
blanket which is lined with muslin.
Small strips are laid under the blanket
to allow the bees a passage over the top
of the frames. The second cover is a
straw mat lined with double thick
ness of a coffee bag. The straw mat is
Of the size of the old-fashioned honey
board, completely covering the brood
chamber. On the top Of the straw mat
in front and behind, l lay two one-inch
staps, and ON these straps the cover of
the hive. l use the Langstroth hive
exclusively. The wooden blanket and
the straw may retain the necessary heat
and keep the bees comfortable, while at
the same time they act as an absorber,
and the air passing directly over the
mat dries up the moisture. We know
that the old-fashioned straw hive is the
best hive for wintering, and with my
straw mat arrangement Ihave the prin-
ciple Of it.

FARM AND GARDEN.
EARNING DON'T PAY

So says Rev. Mr.. Murray. 1t is non
sense. Farming does pay to every man
who knows how to make anything pay.
A man who can't make farming pay,
after having been educated to be a
farmer, never viii make any legitimate
business pay-unless he has greatly
mistaken his vocation. We venture
the assertion that there are fewer fail
ures, in proportion to numbers, among
farmers, than among any other class of
business men. There is more independ-
ence, comfort and competence.-RuraI
NeeU Yorker.
Farming is in a sharp transition
state, and those who fail to see and
comprehend the situation will be apt to
find that it does not pay them. Those
who put much ground in grass and
clover, and only a little under the pillow,
and tend that first rate, can find good
husbandry as profitable now as ever.
1t is the waste Of labor on poor fields
that don't pay. Why should it? AZ
ter land is made too poor by long till
age and cropping, why should nature
encourage man to exhaust the soil ut
terly? Such farming ought not to
pay.

WINTERING BEES.

Charles F. Muth writes the Anoeri-
ca,e Bee JomnaI:-Some of my neigh
bors and myself have been wintering
our bees pretty successfully for several
years. l have been waiting for some
of my neighbors, more able than my
self, to communicate their experience
in wintering; but as extreme modesty,
apparently, prevents them, l will with
your permission, give my way Of win
tering and the result.
In the first place, l take good care
that by the time of getting my bees
ready for winter, all of the frames, as
near as possible, have honey sealed or
unsealed in the upper part Of the comb
and that the lower part is empty or has
brood in. l cut winter passages
through all Of my combs and prefer to
winter a strong swarm to wintering a
quart Of bees. But l have wintered
several times successfully less than a
pint of bees in Langstroth's hives with

LIFE IN MASSACHU-
SEVvE&

'JOhn Paul" writes to the Ne10 York
Tribune: The little villages that nestle
down among the Massachusetts hills are
charming retreats, but do not know that l
should care to spend more than five years
of life at a time in any one of them. And
as for being retreats, I'm not so sure of that,
come to think about it. You stand out in
bold relief if you are resident; still more
so if you are visitor. For instance, there
was an engaged couple in Williamsburg
no natives to the manor born, but city
swells, on a visit to relatives. Very few of
the villagers were ignorant Of what was
going on. When the young wan walked
out with his sweetheart, it must have been
particularly gratifying for him to see him
selfpointed out by one JTchin to another
with 81 say, Bill, you see that there fellow
without no hinge in his back; he's gOin' to
marry Chat thar gal" When the thing first
began there was later sitting up than usual,
naturally, and one of the old ladies stepped
in one morning, shifting suspiciOusly: 81
say, there amt no one sick in this here
house or nOthin,' is there? | seen light
burnin' nigh onto Y o'clock last night, but

tainly not, Do dissatisfied and de-
spending farmers and planters, or poll
ticians in Congress, understand this
question? All evade it, and resort to
some miserable quackery to cure an
unknown disease. Everybody that eats
bread, or wears cotton shirt must pay
the soil that produces these articles.
Do this, and no farmer will be discour-
aged. Do it not, and your public pol
icy is plainly dishonest, which wise
and just God is sure to punish. Any
system of agriculture that steals the
earth's material fruitfulness to be
wasted in cities, and partly in riotous
living, is inherently wrong, and bound
to work "despondency and dissatisfac.
ton" 1t is as unwise as it is improp-
er to mix up right and wrong in human
affairs. Neither farming, nor manufac-
turing, nor trading, can long prosper
on this basis. The wrong must be elm
mated.
