Worthy of a Yankee.

The Western papers are describing some
thing new under the sun. Z. O. Perrine of
Chicago, 1--WE will venture he was born in
New England) having ascertained that
honey of a superior quality was made from
the white blossoms of the willow growing
so plentifuly on the banks of the Missis-
sippi from New Orleans to St. Paul, con-
ceived the idea of floating apiary consist
ing of hundreds of swarms of bees, to 60 up
the river from place to place, as the bios
SONS are developed. The bloom lasts from
two to eight weeks, according to location.
1t sets in early in April in Louisiana, aud is
in its perfection very late in the summer in
Minnesota, aud a steamboat moving by night
and lying at the bank in the daytime can
follow this bloom and keep the bees in the
very zenith of the honey-making all through
the spring and summer, thereby increasing
the yield of honey in the ratio that the pos
sibilities of the blossoms are enjoyed. Mr.
Perrne proceeded to act upon this idea
taking eight hundred swarms of bees on
two barges, propelled by a little stern-wheel
steamer His departure from New Orleans
was delayed till May 18th, and his plans
have been seriously interrupted by the
breaking of the steamers machinery but in
spite of the delays resulting from these acct
dents the experiment has proved very salts

was at st. Louis, on its way to st. Paul.
The bees We're doing well, and Captain
Perrine believes that next year he can do a
grand business. Coming to place where
the blossoms are plentiful, the swarms are
taken ashore and left to work until the
sweets are exhausted, when the boat pro
ceeds northward for a new supply. The busy
bees enjoy travelling in this fashion. They

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-For week past there has
been ugly rumor on the streets that
the secretary of the Pullman Palace
Car company, Mr.. Charles w. Angel, had left
for parts unknown with large amount of the
funds of the company. These stories were
persistently denied by the officers of the Palace
Car company here, but at last the whole mat
ter has eliminated in a grand expose which
certainly sets the high toned and immaculate
secretary before the public in the light of one
of the most
sTUPENDOUs DEFAUITERs
of the age 1t seems that he changed his hotel
here on the 18th of July, going from the Grand
Pacific to the Palmer house, and took his
meals at the Chicago club. short time ago
he left, saying he was going East on
purely a pleasure visit, and did not wish
to be bothered with anything, so he did not
desire to have his mail sent to him. He was
going to various Eastern watering places, he
said, and would probably be back early in Sep
TENDER. Since then nothing has been heard of
him except two days after leaving here, when
he was in Jersey City. 1t is thought that he
timed his departure as to pass Mr.. Pullman,
president OF the company, on mid-ocean, and
he is now beyond all doubt in some land where
extradition treaties are unknown. Angel has
long held high social position here. and was
considered to be gentleman of strict integrity,
and was held in great esteem by the officials of
the Palace Car company. Since Mr.. Pullman s
absence in Europe Mr.. Angel has had opportu-
mites for ENLIGHTENMENT which he did not pre-
viously enjoy. Mr.. Pullmans letter gives the
facts of the case fully.
