The First Rebel.

A Virginia woman writes to the
Springfield Republican that " Mas
sachusetts sent a settler to this part
of the country once. l look from
my window and see the slight ele-
walton on which his cabin stood, at
the foot of which issues a pure
spring Of water, and winds in a
clear stream along the little vale
dividing one elevation from another.
At the time this stranger from
Massachusetts, lived here these
open fields were dense woods for
miles around. This stranger was
Daniel Shays, and he was hid here
by a lady, Of the name and connec-
ton -, but it is too glorious a
name for me to write, now all the
world knows that name. Daniel
Shays employed his time in weav-
ing, and, my grandfather has told
me. wove cloth for him. Grand
father was his nearest neighbor.
Daniel Shays lived alone, saving the
company of his cat. Daniel used
to say his prayers, but his cat would
bother him, and he said, Damn
the cat and went on praying.
Massachusetts,, you see, sent us the
first rebel; she should therefore be
very lenient to us"

Strange Things In Bee dom.

Several years ago, when the seventeen
year locusts visited us, 1 noticed, one
morning in August, that the bees were
going to the woods pretty lively. There
were no flowers in that direction, and
the weather was such that no honey
dew could be looked for. ] followed
them to the mountain. and there among
the rock oak, their busy hum could be
heard for a considerable distance. An
examination proved that where the To-
Gusts had punctured the small branches,
a sweet substance exuded, which the
bees were collecting in considerable
quantities; i'm fact some gathered 20 lbs
from this source. Its taste was rather
unpleasant, but the bees wintered well
on it.
While the bees were working on this
substance one cool morning, about sun
rise, the fog was stealing softly up the
rayine towards my apiary, which is sit
uated at the end of a deep ravinc, the
workers had then male their first sally.
In a moment everything was shr0nded
in one of those thick fogs that come in
a moment and are gone as soon. Just
at that moment came to the scene Of
action; no bee was visible, except one
now and then issuing from a hive. but
as quickly returning. Iheard strange
sound, as it were i'm the clouds, increas-
ing in volume. Itwas the sound of the
main force OF fifty hiyes-heayy-laden
bees lowering above the thick fog in
vain trying to find their hives. 1t was
a scuLthrilling sound, only to be heard
once in lifetime. Half-a-dozen swarms
on the wing at once, is nothing to be
compared TO it. Like everything else,
it cane TO an end. The sun gently
lifted the fog, and then such q rush--the
approach Of a sudden shower would
never produce as much commotion.-

The dish most affected throughout
the north of Russia is called Zakuska,
which word comprehends a meldnge OF
everything that happens to be in season
In the way Of comestibles. AS, for In
stance, fresh caviar, raw herring, raw
smoked goose, salmon, radishes, With
cheese and butter. For soups, we have
the Okroshkd, cold iced soup, with q
beverage in 1t, made of fermented rye,
by way Of flavor, and with herring, Gu
cumber, and meat floating in it; also the
cabbage soup, with sour cream, called
Stchi. There Is also fish soup, which
l did not taste, made Of stone perch, In
TACT, taste or two of either soup will
suffice. Then there are patties OF isin-
glass, mixed up with the flesh OF the
sturgeon, very much like mullins with
fish and cold boiled sucking pig, with
horseradish sauce; roast mutton stuffed
with buckwheat, with salted cucumbers
as salad; plenty of Cayenne Is used
with the fish and cabbage. The dessert
of sweet dishes and fruits is very good.
The sherry of the Crimea, the wine of
the Caucasus, the champagne of the
Don, and the raspberry kras, or cider.
are pretty good, so is the beer made In
st. Petersburg; but their native brandy,
called Vodka, or "little water" must
have very depressing effect, as is fire.
