Telling the News.

The following illustration of the
power possessed by insects to CON-
municste their experiences to one an
other is given by a lady correspondent
of the London Spectator: 81 was stay
ing at the house of a gentleman who
was fond of trying experiments, and
who was bee keeper. Having read In,
some book on bees that the best and
most humane way of taking the honey
without destroying the bees was to i'm
merse the hive for a few minutes in a
tub Of cold water, when the bees, be-
ing half drowned, could not sting,
while the honey was uninjured, since
the water could not penetrate the
closely waxed cells, he resolved on try
ing the plan. I saw the experiment
tried, the bees, according to the recipe,
were fished out OF the water after the
hive had been immersed a few minutes,
and with those remaining in the hive
laid on a sieve in the sun to dry. But
as by bad management the experiment
had been tried too late in the day, as
the sun was going down, they were re-
moved into the kitchen, to the great
indignation of the cook, on whom they
revenged their sufferings as soon as
the warm rays of the fire, before which
they were placed, revived them. As
she insisted on their being taken away.
they were put back into their old hive,
which had been dried, together with a
portion of their honey, and placed on
one of the shelves of the apiary, in
which were five or six other strong
hives full of bees, and left for the
night. Early next morning my friend
went to look at the hive on which he
experimental the night before, but, to
his amazement, not only the bees from
that hive were gone, but the other
hives were also deserted-not a bee re-
mained in any of them. The half
drowned bees must, therefore, in some
way or other, have made the other bees
understand the fate which awaited
Them"

THE SECRET OF 1T.

There's word in our language, word of four
letters,
Which contains the great secret Of worldly
success,
And he who viii follow the pathway it opens,
VIII escape much Of SORROW and worldly dis
tress-
Around this great symbol, the wondrous ma
gician,
No ancient inscriptions, no mysteries lurk
But open and plain as the book we call sacred.
Is this powerful helper this simple word
work"
How many there are in our towns and our
Who are very reluctant their fingers to soil !;
Who are willing to take any genteel position,
But turn in disgust from the very word toll.
Some few of the multitude may be successful,
But a far greater number will certainly fail,
And many will turn to the ways Of transgres-
sors,
And some will find home in some prison
or jail.
The God who created designed us to labor;
He gave US the power to work il we would,
And If we but strive to accomplish our mission
Success will attend us-our work will be good
The labor viii seem to us almost appalling,
But He will sustain and help US to do;
Years may be consumed in it ere it is finished.
But cheerful endeavor will carry it through
T hen up and be doing hfe's moments are pre-
cious
Our time Will be short enough, brief at the
best,
Toll on and remember our work is before us !;
When it is completed, then we shall find
rest,
Press on to the goal there are others besides
us;
We shall not succeed if our duty We shirk;
But the prize is awaiting you. firm noble toiler,
So brayely INCREASINGLY faithfully work,

Good Manners.

1t is a rule of manners to avoid exag-
geration. A lady loses as soon as she
too easily and too much. In
man or woman the face and the person
lose power when they are on the strain
to express admiration. A man makes
his interiors his superiors by heat. Why
need you, who are not gossip, talk as
a gossip, and tell eagerly what the neigh
bors or the journals say? State your
opinions without apology.

FAILURES.

The increase in failures for the last
ten years has been alarming, but as the
Yankee philosopher expressed it "there
is nothing So bad but what there has
been something worse" The number
of failures the last yea was greater than
any preceding year in our history, vet
the ann unit was not So great aS in 1873
1861 or 1857 The panic of 1857 was
more fatal to the business of our country
than any other, While the number of
failures for that year was only 1882, the
amount was 1921, 100000 Last
year the number of failures was $40;
the amount S2Ol, 100000, or 100000, 600
less than in 1857. There were fewer
failures in the years 1862, 6S, "a and 65
than in any years for the last twenty-five.
Since 1866 there has been n gradual in
crease in their numbers, and 1t is TO be
hoped that we have ut last reached the
elimination. Some time ago the Phila-
delphia Times furnished table offailures
since 1851, not very pretty one it is
true, but we suppose valuable one, as it
was furnished by one of the leading msr
camille agencies of that city, from which
we make an extract. showing the increase
in number and amount since 1866, as fol-

Mrs. MATILDA MECHLlNG, the Cabell
county murderess during her life i'm
prisonment IN the penitentiary will have
ample time to ponder over and digest
Judge Wards Judicial homily, which
like the one he inflicted upon the Hunt
;ngton bank robbery in pronouncing
sentence, is a pathetic, nonsensical piece
of tom-foolery His touching allusion TO
woman as "Heaven's best, divinest gift"
is readily appreciated when we remem-
Der that the Judge himself is a smiling
bachelor of about seventy summers.
Here Is the way he concludes his magic
relief application to the conscience OF
the murderess:
OH Matilda, prepare to meet thy
God. Give up all hope or expectation OF
earthly pleasures, for such hopes VIII
prove delusive and false, the verlest OF
vanities. Send your prayer TO the
throne of heavenly grace. Rely spon no
merits ofyour own, for we are all alike
without merit, but plead the merits OF
one whose atoning virtues are suiilcien'
| TO blot out the sins OF the whole world
The sentence of the law is that you be
returned to jail, and the sheriff of this
county convey you from thence to the
public Jail and penitentiary house OF the
State, and that you be confined therein
during the period of your natural life
and may you learn to unlearn what you
| have learned amiss.

if it were not for, the singular pervers'ty
of some people in Congress TO meddle
with the finances, there Is no doubt we
should at once move on to better times.
While we cannot take as hopeful view
of our financial distress as the Advertiser

knowing that the country has recovered
from more signal financial reverses
than that from which it is now suffering
and under more unfavorable circunstan-
ces than the present. For in the last
fifteen years our manufacturing and In

and that which would have been u ser
ious loss before the war would hardly be
felt at even this time Of great depres-
sion. While we may not see the "siiVer

The enforcement of this order will pre-.
