- 10 Rebellion AGAINST THE
UNITED STATES.''

The full text of the bill, entitled "a bill
to protect electors and to prevent frauds at
elections" as adopted by congressional
caucus, is at hand. This measure, although
adopted by caucus of republican members
of Congress, cannot, we take it, be called
party measure any more than can the eau
Gus be called one of the majority Of repub-
leans. The better part of the republicans,
comprising the brains and honesty of the
party in Congress, either remained away
from the caucus or repudiated its action
and refused to be bound by or to vote in
accordance with its dictates. The House
contains one hundred and ninety-eight re-
publicans, and the Senate fory-nine, while
the largest attendance at the caucus was
sixty-sx, and on the last vote. only Thirty
eight responded TO their names. What
ever, therefore, there may he of right or
wrong in this proposed measure, the repub-
lican party is not responsible for 1t. Let
Butler, White and their followers, who have
already been repudiated by the people, have
all the credit or blame which may attach
thereto. Although there is no probability
that the hill will pass ithcr house, certain
ly not the Senate, we desire to call the at
ieDton of our readers TO what we deem the
most Objectionable parts thereof, and this
we shall do with little or no comment. The
provision Of the Clayton bill, making ii
"invason" for one or more persons to enter
state for "lawless purposes was stricken
out, but the measure was left bad enough
or stringent enough without it, The last
section provides as follows; Whenever

American Girls Abroad.

There has been lately a disposition to
place American girls in foreign schools to
receive their education, and leaving them
uncared for only by those who have the
institutions in charge. A notable instance
of the treatment of them when they fall III
has Just come to light in Paris Those may
indeed be accounted unfortunate who in
sickness are without the care of frieads or
relatives. Such persons, from this very
friendliness, should appeal TO our sympa-
thies. Lucy Hooper, in her last Paris let
ter, tells the story of young American
girl who has met with such inconsiderate
treatment that mothers who have placed
their daughters IN iar-away boarding
schools will shudder 10 read 1t seems
that this girl, only eighteen years old, was
left in fashionable French school by her
elder sister, who returned to this country,
believing, no doubt that the mistress Of the
institution would be protector in every
sense to a motherless girl in n strange coun-
try. But smiles and courtesy are sunshine
blossoms. The test came in the form of
typhoid fever, which attacked our young
countrywoman. She had no friends in or
out of Paris, but despite her sad and lonely
condition the mistress of the school de-
clared she must be taken away. No heed
was paid to the physicians statement that
the fever would bring no danger to the
other pupils No thought was given to
the possible result Of moving the invalid.

in whatever policy it may suggest, and in
every sentiment it may utter. 1t will be

At Oakland, in 1878, IN four-mile and re-

and repeat race, when he defeated Joe
Daniels and True Blue, showed him to be

TO De CONTINUED,
TIE SENSE eS BEES.

We find the following in the Popular Sci
ence Monthly The sersc Of bees were ths
next subject Of inres.igati"n, and we will
give, in brief the results which Huber
rearl ed. The lersSs CT tne bees eyes are
not adjustable; and, though thoy can see
accurately to great distances, they seem
blind to objects close by. Bees dart down
to the door of their Lives with precision
which is generally unerring but if, from
any cause, they miss the opening, they ore
obliged to rise in the air, in order to take
another observation.
If bees hear-which is q doubtful ques-
ton, the old-fashion "tanging" to the con-
trary-they certainly hear only what ef-
fects their welfare. Their sense of taste Is
also far from perfect, foul ditch-water be-
ing often preferred by them to impid
streams, or even dew, and in-smsllinS
plants having quite as much attraction as
sweet ones it is the quantity, rather than
the quality of their food, for which they
care. They are also fond Of the seeretons
of the aphides, the milch-cattle OF the
ants.
Their sense Of smell is very keen; the
presence Of honey they detect even in the
most carefully y-concealcd places. Honey
bees often, in scarce seasons, attaek the
bunble-bees on their return from fields
laden with honey, and force them to dis
gorge al they have collected. Its pres
ence in the honey-bag must have besn de-
tected by the sense Of SMELL The seat OF
this smeA is in the mouth; this Huber de
tesniaed by presenting s''ocessivety to all
parts Of the body, on ca,aeps hair poAcils,
odors especially repusnautto them. When
held near the mouth, the boo stsrbed back
as if annoyed On Que occasion he mixed
honey with tamphor, which they especially
dislike; they managed ea separate aaa re-
move al the honey, leaving the salnphos
untouched
The sense which seems to be the most
perfect in these little creatures Is tdaS o.
touch, and that seems to reside wholly IN
the lttennm. Greetings, caresses, and the
communication Of intentions, are always
effected, by one bee toward another, by
crossing their attenua. It must bs rsnem'
bered that no light enters a hive under or
inary circumstances. "Ths bee.' says
Huber, constructs its comb in darkness
it pours its honey into the magazines, feeds
its young, judges Of tleiS age and nscessi'
ties, recognizes its qur~n, all by aid OF its
