BEES IN THE UNITED STATES. There
are two million bee-hives in the United
States. Every hive yields, on an aver
age, a little over twenty pounds of
honey. The average price at which
honey is sold is twenty-five cents a
pound. So that, after paying their
own board, our bees present us with a
revenue of over IS, 500, 900. To reckon
it another way, they make a clear gift
of over a pound of pure honey to every
man, woman, and child in the vast do
main of the United States. Over
twenty-three and one-third million
pounds of wax are made and given to
us by these industrious workers. The
keeping Of bees is one of the most
profitable investments that our people
can make of their money. The profits
arising from the sale of surplus honey
average from fifty to two hundred per
cent. of the capital invested.

The railroad war is spreading, the
Michigan Central and Michigan South
ern having begun to cut passenger fares
In order to catch some of the spring
travel now about opening. The Indi-
annapolis and st. Louis road also has
reduced its fare to New York. W. H.
Vanderbilt, being interviewed few
days since on the subject, is reported
as saying that there we're very few pas
sengers travelling at the present season,
and the roads were, like Kilkenny cats,
tearing each other to pieces for the
purpose of securing them. When the
passenger business became brisk he
predicted this kind of conflict would
cease, and the rates become firm again,
as had been the case during former
seasons of railroad strife.

Bret Harte's new novel, " CARMEL CosRoY",
which is al last completed, and carefully guard
ed in the publishers safe, calls forth the high
est anticipations in literary circles. 1t will be
begun as serial in the November number OF
Scribner's Magazine, without illustrations, for
It 10 said to be graphic beyond need OF them,
and full OF incident. The story takes its title,
"Gabriel Conroy," from its hero. simple,
good hearted, honest old miner, OF type some
what different from that OF his illustrous pre-
decessors in Mr.. Harte's writings. Several
familiar friends. nevertheless, renew old &C
quantance, among them Colonel Starbottle.-
The story is wholly IN Mr.. Harte's original
field and Is said to fulfil, as a novel, the prom
se OF his very best tales. The opening is pro-
nounced, by critics who have had access to the
manuscript, to be very powerful; it is terrible
picture OF a starving camp, and from this start
the story is said to hold the reader with an al
most uncomfortable grip seeing that he has to
wait month by month.-New York Tribune.
