OF the Indiana orator was enthusiastic
and highly aattering. The applause
of the lockers on, as well as
that of the friendly delegates, was
30 hearty as to carry away the Tilden
men for time. His allusion TO the vaip
efforts of the Democratic party hereto

lowed by an appeal for fair

was so adroitly made as to cause many
delegates to waver in their support OF
Tilden., The touching referency to his
devotion to the South in the past caused
a sensation among the delegates from that
section. The effect of Voorhees, vehement
oratory was so marked that the antl-fH.
den men thought to venture further.
There were loud calls for Ewing and
then for Cox. The latter was escorted to
the stage, and in few minutes he sue
ceeded in largely undoing what Voorhees,
had built up. The Tilden men hav.
ing recovered sufficiently to interrupt
him, and turn his own question to
The Advantage ofTilden,
but on the whole there was an impres
sion made in favor of a. compromise

officer was so satisfactory to the Conven-

there was a generally expressed wish

The Hearing of Bees.

The question whether bees have the power of hearing is amooted point among naturalists. Sir John Lubbock has tried experiments with his bees in order to elucidate the matter. Thus he has played the violin close to his bees, he has tried dog whistle, shrill pipe, a tuning fork, aud shouting, but no noise seemed to disturb them in the least. Nevertheless a curious occurrence took place few days since at Windsor.
 Colonel Stewart, commanding officer Second life guards, reports that few days since, when the regiment was re- turning from field day, @ swarm of bees, attracted by the music, followed the regiment into barracks, flying about over the heads of the band. On ar irving at the barrack yard the band formed up to play the regiment into barracks; the bees followed their ex- ample, forming up also and settling on q branch of a tree over the heads of the bandsmen. They were at once taken prisoners by the corporal of the guard, and arc now hived in the barrack yard.
 The distance over which the bees fol- lowed the band was more than a mile. We have heard of spelling bees, but these are musical bees with 8 vengeance. It is common practice ill the country to collect bees by means of rattling a warming pan with a piece of iron, o, shaking stone in tin kettle, and the idea that bees will follow sounds is as old as Virgil.

TrauSDOrting Oil.

A new plan is to be adopted for the purpose of transporting oil from tho oil regions to the principal Atlantic sea- board cities. The plan proposed is to run the oil through four inch pipe laid on the surface the forcing power will be 900 pounds to the square inch there are to be stations at distances of fifteen miles, at each end of which an engine of 100 horse power will be erected to work 8 pump to continue the flow from point to point. Thirty thousand barrels of oil are consumed in the United States daily, and up to the present time the railroad charges for transporting the oil aggregate $79,OOO,OO0. The minimum cost If transporting oil by rail is fifty cents per barrel, and the minimum cost by the pipe process it is believed will be sixteen cents. The average charge by il is $1.25.
 Tho feasibility of the enterprise, so far as the passage of the oil through pipes is concerned, has been fully es tablished by the present system in operation in the oil regions, where the aggregate length of the pipes convey ing the oil from the several wells to the reservoirs is nearly 250 miles.
 Tho first objective point or terminus will be Baltimore, as being the most feasible and direct route for the pipes. Following which other termini will be established in Philadelphia, New York and other places.

How the Turkish Troops Look.

The correspondent of the London Standard writes as follows: l had scarcely been two hours ill Widdin when a part of the victorious Bashi-Bazouks returned to the fortress. No one who had not seen the procession could form an idea of the wonderful picture 1t pre- sented. The greater number of the riders, mounted on their ugly, lean little horses, which, however, seem capable of bearing great fatigue, were Circassians, in long black, gray or white coats, with half dozen little cartouch pockets in a row on each side of the breast. Among them were 8 few Turks and Arnauts, 8 colored man, two men in European dress, except that they wore the fez, Tartars, Kirghizes and Armenians. Each one was dressed differently, most of them barefoot, many without saddles or on high peaked wooden ones. The Circassians carried their arms in shag- gy, black woolen case, attached by Q strap to their lacks, and every one held the muskets taken from the enemy up- right ill his right hand, resting the butt ends on his leg. The same hand held a short whip, while in the left were the reins, and from the shoulder hung a scimetar in a leather case, red at one end and black at the other. Men over sev- enty, boys under twelve; white, red. green, and many colored turbans; vel low, gray, blue, black trowsers, and in some ca, es mono at all; on all faces the excitement of battle, the dark eyes glow ing with 8 dangerous fire; never was such a motley group, and to put the eli max to this strange sight, gigantic Circassian rode along under green silk parasol, and several of these savages wore spectacles. No prisoners were brought in, as quarter is not given.

War as It Was and as It is.

The following is an extract from an address read before the Yale law school: Some 2,000 years before Christ we read that certain king, one of the kings of those days-the head of tribe or city-boasted: "Three score and ten kings, having their thumbs aud great toes cut off, gather their meat under my table," When the men cf Judah made this royal mutilator captive, according to the received leT talionis of the age, they cut off his thumbs and great toes, cast him into dungeon at Jerusalem, and left him to die of hunger. When NebuchadneZzar took Jerusalem he slew tho sons of King Zedekiah before his face, carried him to Babylon, put out both his eyes, and left him to end his days in prison. At the close of the long Jugurthine war, Marius brought Jugur- tha to Rome, and, in accordance with the established usage of the Roman triumph, chained to his chariot wheels this de- posed king, this gallant soldier, dragged him in triumph through the streets, amid tho insults of the populace, and when he turned his chariot from the forum to ascend the capitol, he un- chained the royal prisoner from the chariot wheel, cast him nearly naked into dungeon, where he was not stran- gled until he had contended six da s with famine. When Carthage was taken it was plotted from the map of nations, it's past destroyed, it's ships burned, and it's inhabitants sold as slaves. The cam- paign against Corinth ended in the ex- tinction of that luxurious city and the enslavement of its inhabitants. The xuhJ chT1o ct the man who should presume to rebuild Jericho: "Cursed be the man who shall rise up and rebuild this city Jericho 1! He shall lay the foundation thereof in his first born, and in his youngest sc Il he shall set up the gates of it," was but the expression of the common sentiment the common law of ancient times; at the height of Greek and Roman civilization, after every battle, every man, woman, and child-every human being not slain became an exile or slave. A cam paign usually ended ill the destruction of city war in an extinct nation ality.
 Let us skip over two thousand years to our present civilization. The nine teenth century saw all Europe under arms, from Siberia to Archangel, from the Atlantic to the Vistula; ships bat tered each other to pieces in every sea. When these wars closed, by treaty of peace, some boundaries were altered, some dynasties were changed, but it is not necessary to say that all prisoners were released and no property de- stroyed, for such is tho settled law of Christendom. And when the allies took Paris by siege each Cossack paid for Q cup of coffee handed him by the French waiter, and the publicists and moralists of Europe got angry in discussing the refined question whether the allies had right, under the law of nations, to re- store to the museums and galleries of Italy and Holland the pictures and stat ues that Napoleon had taken from them as trophies of war.
