A Savage Lot OF Bees.

One of the terrors for the Nile trav-
cler is bees. At one time the adverse
winds made II necessary that DR..
Schweinfurth's boat should be lowed by
the crew. As the rope was being drawn
along through the grass on the banks, 1t
happened that II disturbed n swarm OF
bees. In n moment, like q great cloud,
they burst upon the men who were
dragging. Every one Of them threw
himself headlong into the water, and
hurried TO regain the boat. The swarm
followed them. and in a few seconds
filed every nook and Granny OF the
deck. DIR. Schweinfurth was sitting
quietly in his rude cabin, arranging his
botanical specimens, when he heard o
scampcring round the deck. which he at
first took 10 be the usual f~rolicking OF
his people; but, rs the noise increased,
he called out for an explanation Of. the
disturbance. For m answer no received
only the terrific cry Of Bees! bees!'
Springing up, no endcavored to light his
pipe, hoping to protect himself with
smoke. But il was too late. The bees
were already upon him. Thousands sur
rounded him, and he was mercilessly
stung all over his face and hands.
He endeavorsd to protect his face
with his handkerchief; but all to no pur-
pose. The more violently he flung his
hands about, tho more violent became
the impetuosity Of the irritatod insects.
At length, almost maddened, he threw
himself into the river; but the stings
still rained down upon his head. lie
tried to gain the mainland. hoping TO
find shelter in the woods; but some Of
his faithful servants, knowing that
course to be certain death, forced him
back into the boat. Here he wrapped
himself up in a sheet, which. after no
had crushed the bees inside, afforded
him some protection. He crouched
down in this way for full three hours,
while tho buzzing continued %uninters
ruptedly, and solitary stings penetrated
through tho linen covering. Every one
on board pursued the same course, and
gradually the buzzing subsidized. At
length some courageous fellows crept
stealthily to the bank and set fire TO the
reeds. The smoke which rose stupefied
and blinded the bees. so that the boat
was driven beyond their reach. Free
from further apprehension, the sufferers
proceeded TO examine their injuries.
Some OF the stings were extracted with
pincers ; but those which remained pro-
duced ulcers, and ever fever, which
kept the whole boats company in an
uncomfortable state for several days.

A Whale Killed with a Iacknife.
From the Ion. Island New.

IRON the Lohs irlhnu NcWrI
On Thursday of last week. Henry
Claire. Harry Adams, Gustavo Shreever,
Joseph Etchler. John Gunther and ia
cob Schenck. while trolling for blue fish
Off Rockaway Beach, had their attention
attracted by a noise and the agitation Of
the water in a small pool OF the sandbar
near Barren Island. On approaching
nearer they discovereda large fish which
Ind been left stranded by the receding
tide. Landing on the bar, they discov-
cred the fish to be a young black whale.
Consultation was had with u view to
capturing him alive; but the scheme was
judged impracticable, Us before the pro.
per tackling and tools could he obtained
the tide would return and the fish I've re-
leased. The next thing was to kill him.
The only efficient implement in the par
~ was n pocket-knife, with n blade five
inches long. which. handle and all, bad
a length OF about one foot. Mr.. Gunth-
er was the owner Of the weapon, and
upon him deyolved the duty Of making
the attack. After accommodating he
made a dive for the whales neck, and
after several blows finally struck a blood
vessel. The blubbcr penetrated was
thirteen inches thick. The whale threw
up spouts OF blood fifteen feet high, and
bicdto death in about one hour.
With tho aid OF a dozen fishermen the
party rolled the fish into = wagon and
hauled him TO East New York, where he
was weighed ON the public scales. His
weight was 9 LEO pounds; his length Ia
feet. He measured G feet between the
eyes, and around the largest part Of the
body Is feet.

rns third term party in the South,
says the New York Tribune. seems to be
growing beautifully less every day.
just how much there is left OF it in vir-
ginia may DO learned from this para
graph in the Petersburg iRdsr aud AP-
peal: ''we assert without the fear OF
successful contradiction that there is no
more any party OF Conservative white
men in the South in favor Of electing
Grant to the Presidency for a third
term than there Is any party Of the same
material in favor OF e~lectins Butler for
the first. There were symptoms of the
birth OF a Grant party in Virginia some
weeks ago, but As happened in the case
Of Queen Mary, the wife of Philip II. Of
Spain, the alarm proved n false one, and
the old women who made ready to be on
hand have concluded that their services
can be dispensed with. And IL there is
no Grant Conservative party in Virginia.
where. pray. shall there or can there be
any The South will not be in any
hurryto do wha, Virginia does not set it
the example in doing"
