LET US HEAR FROM HAYES.
What He Has Got to Say About
His Tax on Income from
BOqucsiS in 1874.

While, rs is reported, the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue is invcsti-
eating the facts about Governor Til
den's income return, story comes
from Toledo, Ohio, that there is some
tAlng for investigation by Ohio au-
thorlties about those of Governor
Hayes. The Sunday Democrat of
that place prints it, IA well rs the New
York World of yesterday, which
thought ii worth over u column bv

amounting TO S47, 900, in the tax re-
turns of Governor Hayes to the AS
SCISSOR of Fremont, Ohio, during,
lS1l, 1875 and 1876. For 1874 sworn
return is made of 81 ,5S1 worth of "gen-
elal property, moneys, credits, etc,
subject to taxation in SandusBy coun-
ty." For 1873 the total of similar
property sworn to is SO, $780, and for
1876 the amount sworn to is S5,7lO.-
Tho democrat says that on January
20, 1874, the will of Sardis Birchard
was admitted to probate, beQueathing
to Governor Hayes S50,00O worth Of
personal property, of which he be-
came possessed at once, being the
executor, without bond. BirchaTd re.
turned his personal property to the
assessor in 1873 rs S9,9S2. This alone
exceeds Governor Hayes entire return

of several mortgages aud notes, S., 675,

DO Bees Gather Honey or Make
Etp

Prof. Riley, the celebrated American
entomologist, at a recent housekeepers'
convention at st, Louis, stated that
bees do not extract honey ready-made
from flowers, but make it, The nectar,
lying i'm the flowers, says the profess
sor, could never be manufactured into
honey, no matter how manipulated by
the hands and minds of men: but it is
taken up by the bees and passed
through a state of semi-digestion and
eXcretion, resulting in honey, yet still
retaining i'm part the flavor or perfume
of the flowers from which the nectar
has been extracted, by which we de-
/ termine one kind of honey from anoth-
er. This view has siuce been cor
roborated 10y IA chemist and botauist of
| Louisiana, who has fully described the
/ changes undergone by necter i'm its
| elaboration into honey in the bees
stomach. Al the same meeting Prof
! Riley intimated, in reply to the query,
J Do bees injure fruit? that they do, but
/ only in seasons of severe drought, and
when urged by necessity. The fact
| however, is no derogation to the use

termination from Seeds two
Thousand Years Old.

y most interesting observation, re-
tcrring to the power of termination in
seed which is hundreds and even thou
sands of years old, is said to have been
made by Professor Hendrich i'm Greece.
In the silver mines of Laurium, only
the slags left by the ancient Greeks are
at present worked off, in order to gain,
after an improved modern method,
silver still left in that dross. This re-
fuse ore is probably about two thousand
years old. Among it the seed of a
species of glaucium or POPPY was
found. which had slept in the dark
ness of the earth during all that time.
After little while, when the slags
were brought up and worked Off at the
melting ovens, there suddenly arose
a crop of glaucium plants with beau
tiful yellow flower, of kind unknown
in modern botany, but which is de
scrlbed by Pliny and others as Il fire.
