About lSeshtyes,

A tail hive, when extremes are avoided
usually gives the best results. The demand
for box honey has increased over that
for swarms We want hives to accommodate
US IN that respect. The tall hive that was
best for swarms gave but little. A hive with
a large top will take on more boxes than the
tall small one and the bees will often fill them
as quickly as the smaller number. This en-.
,Couraged us to try still larger surface for
boxes THIS was done by placing them at the
side Of the combs. The depth of or boxes
is 51a inches one placed on the other made
eleven inches, just the height of our frames.
Two courses can be set on the side of the
comb, and enough can be put on both sides
when the length Of Ours-to hold eighty
pounds, besides those on the top.
Some bee-keepers put several tiers OF boxes
on smaller hives. But experience shows US
that those farthest from the body Of the hives
are worked in very slowly, There is a great
gain in having every box as near as possible
to the main hive | cannot think of another
shape that will admit so much room for boxes
in close connection with the hive. If the
long hive stood on the end, making it a tall
hive, the same number of boxes might be
used, but they would have to be piled on each
other to greater depth, making it more
trouble to take off boxes from the lower ones
when only those were full. The main combs
of the hive would often become heavy and
break loose and fall to the bottom. If piece
to support them were put across, it would di-
vide the comb SO that the queen would keep
the brood in the lower part The space above
would be filled with honey and the boxes on
the top would be about the same as II they
were on a tier or two of boxes below them.-

USEFUL HINTs-A lady writing to the
Country Gentleman thus recapitulates some Of
the valuable suggestions she has had the good
sense to learn from her servant girls. She
says: The other day Mary was ironing and
asked for piece of sand-paper to rub her
irons on. was antonished that | had never
thought OF it before; it is so nice, removes
every bit of starch or anything else, and
makes them so smooth. One girl taught
me that old cOrsets make the best stove-ClOths.
Just one-half at time is convenient size.
They are ready-made and much better, when
unfOlded, to take hold of anything with than
made holder, ard much easier to wash
Just throw them in with the brown towels, as
many as you happen to get sOilcd during the
week, and they come out clean and ready to
use again. Another girl pours hot water on
the blades only Of steel knives and they wipe
easily and do not need drying. Another one
told me the best way TO keep hams and dried
beef was to pack in dry salt, We have tried
it several years with perfect success. An Old
salt barrel is convenient Set it in some cool,
dry place; put quite 4 thlck layer Of salt in
the bottom; then pack in the hams, using the
pieces of dried beef, il you have any, for
Chinking: cover with salt; then hams and
salt again till the barrel is full There is not
the least danger from insects, if the hams are
smoked and the beef dried and put away
early before the flies cone around; and they
are much nicer TO handle than when put in
ash,j or oats, or anything Of that kind.

In 1886, was farmer in Duchess county,
N. Y, and had COW very sick with what is
usually termed the horn dstemper was in
the act of boring her horns, when a very
prominent physician happened to ride up, and
inquired what was about. told him He
told me not to do it; that he would relieve my
cow and cure her. He bled her in the neck,
as you would horse. As soon as she was
bled, she ate heartily and | had 10 further
difficulty. Since then have bled and cured
dozens of cattle in all stages Of the disease,
and never failed in Il single case to give inn

known some farmers to slit the tail and fill
with pepper and salt; and also when the
horns became hollow, to bore and fill with
pepper salt and vinegar. This, the physician
said, had tendency to aggrayate the disease,

He gave them to understand that they

The account was certified by Gov.
Brownlow, and receipted by Mr.. Hen

his (Maynard's) hand writing. Mr..
Henry died shortly after. That while
he was morally certain he bad never

equally sure that Mr.. Henry, if liv-
ing, who was an honest and good
man, could make satisfactory eN-
PLANTATION.
The next day one Of the late Judges
of the Supreme Court called upon him
and folded him that he recollected all
about the transaction. That Gov.
Brownlow had called upon the Judges
and asked them if Mr.. Maynard was
not entitled to nay for services as
Special Judge. They told him he
certainly was. The Governor then
said that Mr. Maynard is away from
home and his wife is needing some
money. 1 will get it for her
Mr.. Maynard said this explained
the receipt, but he would not rest the
matter on that ground. That in the

HAYWARD AND PORTER AT NASH.
WILLIE.
How Msynard's Expose Of PenIten-
ttary Lease was Received.

AAFhNF "NN ANfftlNShs
NASHVILLE, TENN, Oct. 18th, "a
The seventeenth Of October, the day
long looked for by the Democrats for
the complete demolition of Mr.. May
nard, has come and gone, and our can
didate yet wears his scalp. The day
opened lovely aud the Democratic
hordes flocked into the city from far
and wide to witness the slaughter and
pinnihg to the wall OF the willy
Narragansett," but when 3 o'clock
had rolled around, and the debate
closed, they quietly dispersed and
sought their holes, ssdder if not
wiser men,"
The discussion was opened by Mr..
Maynard in a'masterly effort, peculiar
TO himself, Of an hour and half. He
commanded universal respect and the
closest attention, from gallery to hall of
the fifteen hundred people present. His
point upon the penitentiary lease and
mismanagement of the Jno. &. Brown
Administration, were frequently APP
plauded by whites and blacks alike.
From the time he commenced to
speak, until he had uttered his last
word, the most profound silence reign
ed throughout the audience, broken
only by an occasional expression of
approval or burst of applause. When
mis- time had expired, and Judge Por>
Ter had taken the stand, explaining,
laboring, gesticulating and al ar
rain ling him, confusion of sounds
could be heard, and dropping Demo-
cratic forms could be seen whiting
in the corridors of the capitol. The
attention paid Mr.. Maynard was not
paid Mr.. Porter, by his own party
friends. They " wanted to see friend,
but knew Mr.. Porter would pin his
adversary to the wall" The fact is,
the Democrats are ashamed of their
standard bearer, and in private CONVEX
sation acknowledge it. They admit
that Mr. Maynard is his superior in
everything desired in a Governor, bus
then he's a Radical! Being Radical
in Nashville, is not being respectable.
Mr.. Maynard has so often been rep
resented as being the inferior of Judge
Porter, that the contrast yesterday
made many friends for our champion.
While the opposition are asking you Ia
put down this county five hundred
for Porter will just ask you to no
tice that Davidson gives an equal, il
not a majority vote for Maynard.
The speaking was held in the Rep
resentative Hall of the State Capitol
No Neil S. Browns, Jr., were present
or if they were they were sober.

Heavy Sentence i'm IA KukIux Case

Louisville, KY, Oct. 19.-Judge
Ballard, in the United States Court to-
day, sentenced Henry Triplett, of
Owen County, 20 pay fine of $500 and
to be confined at hard labor in the
Penitentiary for three years. Triplett
is one of the notorious KukluX-klan of
his section, and the charge against him
i'm this case was the Intimidation of a
witness in the Federal Court. 1t was
proven that Triplett and his brother
had taken the witness by force from
his labor i'm cornfield and concealed
him in the woods until the ease in
which he was subpmnaed had termin-
ated. This is one of the severest SEN
fences yet given by Judge Ballard in a
KukluX case.
