A Hunt for "Drones. !"

A gentleman living in the northern
suburbs secured o hive Of bees two or
three weeks ago as nucles for an
apiary, aud in the course of ten days he
had read ten different works on the
honey-bee and invented half % dozen
patent hives. The other forenoon
man called at the house on business
and was informed by the wife that her
husband was out inspecting the bees.
"Is he taking up honey" inquired
the man.
"Oh ,no-he's looking to see If there
are any drones In the hive"
At that instant both were startled by
q series of whoops and yells, and the
husband came round the corner of the
house on the jump, his hat striking the
air on all sides of him. He rushed
through the currant bushes and back,
rolled on the grass and lit ont for the
barn, and the amazed wife shaded her
eyes from the sun as she looked after
him and continued, in disappointed
tone:
"But don't believe he found single
drone by the way they stick to him ~

Didn't Like the Price.

At one time brother C suffered
the loss of number of fine sheep out of
his flock, and, whatever might have
been his suspicious, failed to obtain
adequate evidence to convict the person
suspected of the criminal act. Just
about this time, in q season of religious
interest, person of very Indifferent
previous character became interested in
the meetings, and finally came to broth
er G and confessed that he was
the offender, and had wickedly stolen
his sheep. He quite humbly asked
forgiveness, and proposed very properly,
to pay for the stolen sheep. Brother
c. received him with his usual good
nature; and instead of setting price
himself upon the sheep, said, "Well,
well, brother, what do you think they
are worth 20 With pathetic tone of
voice, the new penitent answered, "The
Lord told me to come and pay you O
dollar and half apiece for the sheep"
''Pay it, then," said brother c. very
quickly; "but don't want the Lord to
price any more of my sheepl"

NEW YORK.
A Diabolical Crime.

Buffalo, April Gone of the most
atrociOus murders in the history of
western New York was committed last
evening near Elmira, in this county.
A feud had long existed between two
German farmers, John Altoff and Carl
Manke, the bone of contention being a
line-fence between their two little
farms. Altoff, returning home from
Buffalo, having arrived at a lonely spot
on the road about half mile from his
house, was shot by his concealed enemy,
full charge of shot and slugs entering
his chest. Three or four of the wounds
were sufficient to kill; but to make sure
work the murderer pounded his skull to
pieces with stones. Manke was seen
leading Altoff's horse away from the
place, and many circumstances assist
in fastening the crime upon him. A
gun was found i'll his house covered
with blood and hair. He was promptly
arrested, and is now in Erie county
jail He has wife and eight children.
The murdered man leaves only wife.

A PEACE CONGRESS PROBABLE.
But the Situation is Indeed Critical.

But the Situation Is Indeed Critical.
London, April 6.-There seems to be
some hope of a renewal of the congress
negotiations, and unless collision is
precipitated by the necessity for coun-
teracting military measures. Russia is
pushing forward on both sides of the
Danube, and the position at Constanti-
nople is considered 50 doubtful, even
threatening, for England that very
slight modification of the situation
might be considered sufficient to war
rant action which would amount to a
breach of neutrality; as long as Vefik
Pasha remains Turkish premier, how
ever, Russo-Turkish alliance Is be-
lieved to be out of the question.
1t is believed that the Roumanian
cabinets opposition to Russia is real
and determined. The publication of
Gortschakoff- Ghika interviews arouse
general sympathy for Roumania
throughout Europe. The Roumanian
protest against the treaty of San Stefa-
no was published in Vienna yesterday,
but it is not yet known to have been
officially communicated to the Powers.
The rumors of Ignatieff's return to
Vienna is revived

THE hostile feeling of the Rouman-

Intensity, and the offensiveness of its
manifestations seems to be increasing.
The Russian quartermasters complain
that the Roumanian authorities hinder
the passage of supply trains, and even
threaten to stop the transportation of
war material through their territory al
together. The situation is SO grave
that the Russian commander cannot
afford to tolerate distractions of this
kind, which may imperil the very exist.

do not mend their manners the grand
duke may find it necessary to give them
lesson that will cure them of all in

THE OUTLOOK.
From a Ministerial Standpoint.
Opinions of the New York Press.

New York, April 6.-Thu Russian
Minister at Washington, is reported by
the Tribune correspondent as saying:
'Russia hopes that England will begin
the war against the Gar; great nation
like Russia does not propose to be die
tated to-" In his opinion the Euro
pean question has reached such stage
that war between Russia and England
is next to inevitable. Great Britain's
movement in sending her fleet to the
Dardanelles WAS wholly unjustiiiable,
and has resulted in the determination
on the part of Russia to occupy Con-
stantiEople The Car had no intention
of taking this step until England NOV
ed her fleet.
Minister Sir Edward Thomas. is also
reported as indisposed to talk very free
ly about the present situation in Eu-
rope; hut speaks of the naval and mill
tary preparations of Great Britain as
ample for any demands that may he
made upon them. The only desire of
his government is unobstructed inter
course with the Black Sea through the
Dardanelles, which must be secured by
force if it cannot be obtained in any
other way.
The German Minister speaks of his
government as Il peacemaker, and says
if the European conference takes place
the whole influence of Germany will be
exerted to prevent war.
The Turkish minister is respondent
of the situation. His government was
submitting passively, and anxiously
awaiting the results of diplomatic ne
gotiations.
The World also considers Bismarck
the arbitrator in the present compli-
cations.
The Herald says there is no reason
why Austria should put herself in
warlike attitude toward Russia because
of any stipulations of the treaty of San
Stefano, and the imperial government
has never had any intention or purpose
in this relation that could fairly be re-
garded as warlike. England's interest
is in India and the Dardanelles; Austria
cares for neither, her interest is to have
peaceful frontier.
The Sun says that England is ready
for war, but cannot begin with any safe
prospect of success without the co-ope-
ration of Austria.
The Times believes Russia means
war with England as the alternative of
yielding what she gained at San Stefano.

RAILROAD PROJECT.
What the Late, Henry Meiggs
u Partner is Doing.
A Powerful Grain Market Projected.

Chicago, April CIV. II. Cilley, of
Lima, partner of the late Henry Meggs,
the great Peruvian railroad builder, is
in this city. He has on hand the gi-
gantic enterprise undertaken by Meiggs,
and is here to purchase railroad mate
rial and mining machinery. He is full
of projects for the development of
Peru. lie has one road that he is
pushing across the Andes from Callao
and Lima to the great wheat producing
country on the east side of the noun
tains. At present only enough grain
and other products are grown in this
country for domestic use, owing to the
difficulty of taking it to market, 1t
having to be transported across the
mountains to the coast on mules and
llamas. When the road has climbed
the mountains, Mr.. Cilley is sure that a
new granery for the world will be
opened. Great numbers of machines
are already being taken to Chill. The
railroad will be completed in year.
He, like Mr.. Meiggs, has large inter-
ests in the silver mines in connection
with his railroad enterprise. There
are copper mines of vast wealth there
also, which he is opening mp. He is
positive that great chances are open to
North American merchants if they will
only take the trouble to send their
agents to Peru and introduce their pro-
ducts. 1t is the English who almost
exclusively control the trade.

MANY centuries ago the mosques of
Constantinople were Christian churches
and the walls were covered with paint
ings peculiar to the Christian faith.
The Turks covered with coating of
plaster. This, for centuries, has been
gradually and imperceptibly falling off
in the thinest possible flakes of powder,
SO that the ancient paintings are again
distinctly seen through the thin glaze
left. To-day a colossal head of Christ
looks down upon the Mohammedan
worshippers from the walls of st.
Sophia, and IN another mosque the
Madonna is in similar manner dis
played. The Turks do not trouble
them.

AN American is an individual who
cans things. Peaches, oysters, cherries,
beef, peas, Holsters, soup, Strawberries,
tomatoes-in fact, everything cannable
is canned. Now, Americans are send
ing boneless ham to hungry Europe,
and still later turkey and chicken have
been canned successfully and sent to
England. 1t is expected that roast
beef and plum pudding will shortly be
put up in tin, and the British Lion
will then have nothing to do but open
cans and let digestion wait on appetite.
