lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEi
WASHINGTON, April 16.-7he Washington
Chronicle to-day intimates that Gen. Grant will veto the
reducing salary of tho President after the 4tb OF
March, 1877, to $25, 900. This met with very
little opposition in either House. and doubt expresses
the conviction OF large majority OF Senator'S ana
Representatives that IL rerenchment is to he made In
all other departments OF the Government The cnle E1
eeutlve should not be made exception.

A wheelbarrow Trip to the Centennial.

One afternoon recently, about 5
O'Clock, man and boy, apparently
worn with travel, and certainly bronzed
by the sun and begrimed with the dust
of the road, were seen trudging in West
King; the man being between the han.
dies of an oddly constructed and hand
somely painted wheelbarrow, and the
boy walking by his side. The man
proved to be Mr.. j. G. Temple, Of the
town of Joplin, Jasper county, Mo-, the
boy being his son Otto, aged thirteen
years. He said that he left Joplin on
the 2Sth of February, accompanied by
his son Otto and an Englishman named
Wilson. Some time last winter he made
proposition that If the Oronogo and
Joplin Mining Company of Jasper
county would give him fifty pounds of
meteorological specimens from their
mines he would wheel them on wheel
barrow all the way 70 the Centennial.
Some beautiful specimens OF ore were
brought to him, and he constructed a
wheelbarrow that would be particularly
suitable for so long journey. The en-
tire weight of the barrow, baggage, and
specimens of minerals is $50 pounds, and
the cost of the outfit wac S125. The
minerals are specimens of zinc, lead,
blackjack, spar, and garnet, all from
Oronogo and Joplin, No., mines.
Mr.. Temple and his son have travelled
more than ], 400 miles. They have made
as high as twenty seven miles a day and
rarely less than twenty miles, though they
frequently stopped off at convenient
points 10 recuperate at one place resting
as long as five days. They camped out
twenty-seven nights. but generally were
furnished with good lodging and hospit-
ably entertained along the ute.-Ldn-

Sanitary Regulations Of Beehive.

The sanitary regulations of the hive
are very wonderful; nothing uncleanly
or offensive is ever allowed to remain
which it is within their power to remove.
Reamur mentions that snail once in
vaded one of his observing-hives and at
tached itself to pane Of glass. The
weight of the creature was too great for
even bee industry and enterprise, but
not too much for bee ingenuity. They
fastened the shell securely to the glass
by means of propolis, and then sealed
over the mouth of the shell with guam
tity of the same gum. A slug which was
once caught in one of Maralde's hives
met SIMILAR fate, except that in this
case, the whele body of the creature was
entombed in the propolis.
This same substance is used to exclude
every enemy of the insect tribe, as well
as moisture and draught. The bees know
very well that currents of air are desira-
BILE and draughts treacherous. While
they cut off every avenue for the en-
trance of air where it would make them
liabl. to disease, they supply steady
ventilation where it is needed. Lines Of
workers station themselves readily from
the door to every portion of the hive; by
constant and well-timed motion OF
their wings steady currents of air are
generated which keep the hive pure and
sweet. The force of the current is suffi-
cient to turn small anemometers.-Home

Double Crimes.

Our whole system of treating double
crimes with one-sided laws, cur whole
silly policy of treating one party to a
double crime as fend, and the other
party as an angel or baby, has been not
only inefficient for the end sought to be
obtained, but disastrous. The man who
offers bribe to another for any purpose
which involves the infraction of law of
the State or nation is, and must be, an
equal partner in the guilt; and any law
which leaves him out of the transaction
is utterly unjust on the face of it. If it
is wrong to sell liquor, it is wrong to buy.
Ifprostitution is wrong, it is wrong on
both sides, and he who offers bribe to a
weak woman, without home or friends OF
the means of life, to break the laws Of
the State, shares her guilt in equal
measure. Law can never be respected
that is not just. No law can be enforced
that lays its hand upon only one of the
parties to double crime. No such law
ever was enforced, or even accomplished
the purpose for which it was enacted
and until we are ready to have double
laws for double crimes, we stultify our
selves by our unjust measures to suppress
! those crimes. Our witnesses are all &C
completes, the moral sense of the com
munity is blunted and perverted, an6
those whom we brand as criminals lool
upon our laws with contempt of judg
ment and conscience.-Scribner for May
