With regard to Gen. Schsnck, MFR. Lyon
makes a charge which must be promptly and
thoroughly sifted. He asserts that Schenck
did not even give his note for the shares
which he received from Park until Mr. Blair's
resolution of inquiry had been brought into
Congress, and then the note was given and
ante-dated merely as blind. II this state
ment should prove true, Con. Schenck's dis.
grace is complete and irremediable. We trust
the committee will look into it without delay.

Can Bees Hear =?

Though the best observers deny to
bees the possession of sense of hear
ing, writer in NeUnam's Entonsologist
relates an instance in which a hive of
bees appear to have heard the summons
of their queen. A swarm of bees had
been gathered into hive which was al
lowed to rest temporarily upon table.
On lifting the hive, in order to set it up
on the hive-board, the portion of the
table on which the hive had stood was
found to be covered with bees, which
soon began to run about from their hav-
ing been suddenly disturbed. The hive
was now placed on the hive-board, with
the entrance toward the bees. For a
little while they continued to run about,
rs if bewildered, but then was heard a
peculiar vibrating and buzzing sound
proceeding from the hive. In an in
slant all the bees faced about, with
their heads toward the hive, and all
marched into it in regular procession.

Queer Story of an Ohio Man.

On last Thursday night, says the Gal
weston NeUs, Mr.. E. S. Jefferson reach
ed this city by the midnight train. He
had no money, and, worse still for him,
no friends or acquaintance in this
place. He was directed to report to the
Police Station for whatever attention he
might require by some one to whom he
communicated his distress. He did so,
and yesterday morning sought private
interview with Capt. Atkins, which re-
suited substantially in the following dis
closure. When he first began his con-
versation with the Chief of Police, he
seemed to be greatly depressed, and
gave expression to his feelings in flood
of tears. Calming himself, however,
under the kind assurances of that officer,
he communicated these facts respect
ing himself:
On the 18th day of October last he
left his home in Thornville, Ohio, where
he is engaged in business as merchant,
and went to Columbus, some ten miles
distant, for the purpose OF purchasing
oOlAO SOooo. AO AunuC LIS 1uIChooOo
and had them duly shipped, and, feel
ing badly, went to his room at the hotel,
and ordering fire lay down and fell
asleep. When he awoke the hour for
the departure of the train had passed,
and on reaching the depot he found that
he was left, and was, consequently, COM
PEELED to await the next train. He re-
turned to his room, and was on time for
the train, which he remembers board
ing, but subsequent to that act he has
no recollections whatever of any thing.
He told Captain Atkins that he had $11O
in money when he left Columbus, but
what he had done with it, or
how he came to Galveston, he
knows nothing whatever. The
clothes he has on, he says, are strange
to him, and where he got them,
or by what means he obtained them, he
is in the most profound ignorance.
Capt. Atkins asked him if he was
man, to which he responded,
saying that he never drank any thing.
He is reported to be fne-leeking gen.
tleman, about IS years of age, well
and bearing all the indications
of a cultured man. He secured rooms
at a clearinghouse by aid of Capt. At
kins, who sent telegram to his uncle,
living in Thornville, Ohio, giving full
account of his condition and necessi-
ties. Mr.. Jefferson says that he knows
Of nothing to which his misfortune can
be attributed except to hereditary

-one of his uncles having been SINH
larly affected some years ago. Infor-
nation from his relatives is expected
his morning. He has a wife and
