Instinct of the Hornet.
Lawrence (MaSs.) American.

A black hornet was observed the other
day, few weeks ago, flying in sitting
room in this city, and the occupant of
the room noticed that the insect de-
posted a, small piece of mud on the wire
supporting a picture-frame. It was not
disturbed, and it repeated the opera
ton five or six times day until it had
built cell about one inch long, with a
cylindrical cavity, three-eights of an
inch in diameter, in which an egg was
laid, and the end then closed. This
process was then repeated until six
cells had been completed in like man
ner, when the hornet laid aside its trow-
ell and betook itself to other fields of
labor. Yesterday the nest was re-
moved, and was found to contain larvae
in various stages of development, from
the full-grown chrysalis in the cocoon
to the young larvae just Matched. There
were three larvae partly changed to the
chrysalis form, and in these cells were
the remains of several spiders. In the
cell with and placed above the youngest
larva were fourteen spiders, some of
them quite large, and the larva ap-
peared large enough to have eaten nalf
a dozen.

Poisoned DelIcacies.
New York Herald.

Sanitary boards from time to time
supply to the public lists of articles
sold as food or TO be used in culinary
processes which are merely adulterated
or actually injurious or poisonous.
Flavor.ng extracts commonly count as
important items in these domestic bills
of indictm ent, and the families in Penn
sylvania reported as poisoned by home
made ice-cream are, perhaps, victims
to the "essence" with which they gave
their dainty piquant taste. One &C.
count, 1t is true, represents them as
poisoned through the fact that "cust-
ard for their cream was "boiled" in a
brass kettle. Ice-cream made from
custard or the elements of custard is not
unknown to art-poor art, however,
but if that custard is boiled, that is
enough. 1t does not need any theory
to account for trouble in the human
stomach filled with custard that has
been first boiled and then frozen. No
brass kettle is necessary. We incline
to the opinion, however, that these suf-
terers were victims to EXTRACTS" which
are bright colored poisons sold in fancy
glass bottles, and which pretend to sup
ply for from ten to twenty cents guam
titles of commodities which, if genuine,
would be worth dollar at least.

One naturally cannot help making
inquiries about the Queen when STAYING
in the neighb orhood. 1t is a neigh
borhood in which she goes about in a
more free and spontaneous way than
anywhere else. She could hardly 90
about at Windsor and Osborne as she
does at Balmoral. The Queen is al
ways dressed in a very plain and quiet
fashion, which is itself rebuke to the
extravagant ''dressiness" of the present
day. She will enter very humble shops
IN order to make very small purchases
These purchases are mainly intended
as gifts to the poor, chiefly the poor in
her own service. She selects the
articles, but never asks the price. The
prices charged are exactly the same as
to any one else. Besides this, the Queen
regularly visits the houses of the cot
tagers. Some touching instances of
this are given in the Highland Journal.
"Really," she natively remarks, 1.-The
affection of these good people, who are
so very hearty and so happy to see you,
taking interest in everything, is so very
touching and interesting" l heard of
ver- pleasing ancedote of the Queen
one day on the coach-top, as I went
from Braemer to Blairgowrie. We
passed a house which had belonged to a
deceased general officer, Baronet, who
had seen good service in the Napoleonic
wars. He had built house, an exact
representation of Longwood, where
Napoleon died. On a mound close bv
the gate ne had erected a stand, where
waved flags commemorative of all the
different battles in which he had been
engaged, and in the centre the flag of
Waterloo. The Queen passed by, and
AMID all the details of her triumphant
progress, she omitted to notice this
peculiar array of flags. The old general
was sorely hurt by this commission, and
bemoaned it greatly. He, however, had
friends in court, and one of them ven
tured to speak to her Majesty on the
subject. The Queen, in the most
prompt and gracious way, was anxious
to crafty the old soldier and relieve
his mind. When she was next about
to pass that road she caused an intima-
ton to be given to him that the flags
should be displayed as before, and that
then he should fall into her cavalcade
and riae before her, as one of her body
guard, to Balmoral.

The Russian Patriotic Fleet.
Pail all Gazette

Odessa has become for the past two
months the place of rendezvous for the
vessels belonging to the patriotic fleet
sO-called, which are to convey prisoners
to the island Of Saghalien. Convicts
from prisons IN every part of Russia
are being sent to Odessa, and 7UO of
them, most Of whom are nihilists, have
already been embarked on board the
Njjni-Novgorod. The new mode of
transport will DE much quicker and
less costly than the one hitherto adopted,
for the prisoners, instead of being two
years On the road, will now be taken to
Saghalien in two months, the route be-
ing from Odessa throug the Suez
Canal to Nladivostock and Saghalien.
The cargo of each vessel contains, in
addition to food and clothing for the
prisoners, iron for building purposes,
glass, plants and agricultural machin-
cry: The Golos, giving the reasons
which have induced the government to
select the island of Saghalien as place
of transportation, says that the eleven
prisons for the reception Of convicts
are so full that the one near Irkoutsk,
built to accommodate 1,500 persons at
present contains 1000, and that the ten
others, at Tobolsk (which has two-one

six hundred more prisoners than they
are capable of holding. The batch of
convicts sent to SaghaIien in the Mini
Novgorod wore taken from the prisons
at Kharkoff, Vida, Pskow and Novi-
borisso, and in the course of the sum-
mer drafts will be made to relieve the
other penitentiaries.

Delaware Peaches.

At every station of the railroad that
traverses the spine of the Delaware
watershed one sees those peculiar vehi-
Giles generally known as peach wagons,
square, cumbersome and roomy, I'M
loading their luscious contents. At the
more considerable stations all is noise,
huDbub and confusion. One by one
the peach wagons come rumbling up to
the waiting cars, each one striving to
get in first, SO as to unload and home
again. At the cars is very Babel of
voices calling for manifests. numbers,
and what not, commingled with the
squealing of mules, the shouting and
swearing of teamsters, and the crack
of whips. Along the roads in all di-
rections rumble the peach wagons,
each in little cloud of dust, like
miniature thunderstorm, each vending
its way and converging to centre repre-
sented by the nearest railway station.
The traveller on the railroad passes long
trains of freight cars, hanging around
and trailing after which is luscious
odor of most luscious fruit.
In New York the Delaware peach is
rarely seen at it's best; the fruit is picked
while yet hard, and so shipped, ripen-
ing in the cellars of the commission
merchants, or On the stalls of the vend-
ers; but when they are allowed to ripen
to full maturity in the broad and native
sunlight of their Southern home, when
they swell with the last few hours of
ripening, the blush side turning deli
cate velvety crimson, just notified with
few darker spots, when they soften,
not to facidity on the trees, turning the
last drops OF sap to nectareous juice,
then the Delaware peach is a thing
hardly to be sufficiently admired, charm
ing alike with its beauty, its odor, and
its taste.-,Harper's Magazine.

Life and Death i'm Florida.

The following is an extract from let
ter written from Tampa, Fla, to gen.
tleman of Augusta, Ga:
''Last Friday morning, having eaten
breakfast, Mr.. Aaron Strickland, a we'll
TODD young farmer, who lives about
five miles from Tampa, started out to
do some work in the woods His little
child, a boy of eighteen months old,
and began to play about the door. No
more attention was paid to it for the
space of half an hour, when it was
missed by its mother, who searched and
called in vain. With beating heart,
and fearing she knew not what, she
started out to inform her husband of
the fact, which she did.
Gle at once reused the whole neigh
borhood and secured the woods in
every direction for his lost DAZZLING. The
news of the child's disappearance flew
like wildfre, and people focked from
Tampa and for miles from the surround
ing country to join in the search. A
false clue, found on the morning Of the
second day, caused the search to take
a wrong direction. Several small foot
prlnCS were IOunu near uolu d mile
from MIR. Slrickland's place but proved
to be those of little negro child, who
had accompanied its mother in the
search. Many were of the opinion that
the child had fallen into the pond near
by, but it was discovered as before
stated, that the tracks. were not those of
the lost baby. The search then took
northerly direction. and on the third
day of the search. Sunday, traces of
blood, mass of tangled hair, and the
childs apron were found about twenty
steps from the horse-pond, body of
water about two miles from Strickland's
farm. A dark object was seen floating
in the water, near where the apron was
found, and with which two alligators
were found playing. The suspicion of
two of the party, Messrs. Lewis Strick-
land and Thomas, were aroused, and
they swan out to it, but what was their
horror to find it to be part of the body
of the lost child. On arriving at the
bank an examination showed that the
head, arms, shoulders and legs were
gone. One leg appeared to have been
torn from the socket, while the other

AT SEA.
BY f. w. BOURDILLON.

Worn voyagers, who watch for land
Across the endless wastes OF sea.
Who gaze before and on each hand.
Why look We not to what we dee?
The stars by which the sailors steer.
Not always rise before the PROV:
Though forward naught but clouds appear
Behind they may be breaking now.
What though we may not turn again
To shores of childhood that we leave,
Are those old signs we followed yafnS'
Can guides so oft found true deceive?
oh, sail we to the south or north,
Oh sail we to the east or west.

The Why and Wherefore of the Rise of
QuiHine.
New York Tribune.

Quinine has gone up. The poor, fever
stricken patient finds his pills dearer
than ever. The two or three American
manufacturers thereupon dance with
wa1whoops of delight, and shout: "We
told you SOL" Of course they did.
They knew very we'll what day they
would raise the price and how far they
would raise it. They have the market
in their own hands as yet, and are will
ing to make this extortionate profit out
of the immediate needs of the public.
None Of the manufactured article which
is to come in free of duty, has yet been
imported. When it comes in the price
will fall to it's proper level, and nothing
they can do will keep it up. There is
no real reason for the present rise, the
manufacturers having stock in hand
sufficient for many months, except their
desire to reap as large harvest from
their long monopoly as possible.

The ISthmuS Canal.

1hS Nc1u ole
The New York Times thus indorses a
solution of the inter-oceanic canal prob
lem:
A decidedly better scheme than that of
Mr.. Eads is the one invented by lead
ing citizcn of Clinton, H., who, of course,
has been familiar with ships from his
earliest youth. He proposes that when
vessel arrives at Panama chains should
be passed under and. around her and
secured to an enormous balloon. The
balloon, on being inflated, will rise,
lifting the vessel with it. and while sus-
pended in air, both balloon and vessel
can be towed across the isthmus by a
rope attached to locomotive on the
existing railway from Aspinwall to
Panama. This plan is unquestionably
most simple of all. It requires no out
lay except for balloons, chains and gas.
1t does not involve the cutting of
mountains, and it gives the expreGsman
no opportunity to smash unofending
ships. Still, it is not entirely free
from faults. Chains are liable to break
and balloons to burst, and when a sue
cession of such accidents compels
every Central American to carry an
umbrella to protect his head from fall
ing vessels, there will be strong local
opposition to that method of crossing
the isthmus. Moreover, the passengers
on board the passing steamers will be
sure to drop nut-shells and lemon-peel
and empty tomato-cans, whereby Gen.
trail America will be all Uttered up and
its inhabitants prevented from pursu-
ing their ordinary business of sleeping
in the sun with any comfort.
The Empress of Austria likes a sol
itary hunting expedition. With her
favorite rifle in hand she goes deep into
the wooded mountains and solitary
valleys which stretch around the Impe-
rial domain in every direction. Dressed
in the rough costume of the Tyrol, she
will often make excursions of two or
three days duration, staying at night at
some distant cot, where the only fare,
besides the game she brings with her,
is goat cheese and milk with black
bread.

An Outrage.

John Miles, Mormon of some con-
siderable standing in Utah, has been
convicted of polygamy and sentenced
to the penitentiary.
Is this thing TO be allowed? Are we
to sit calmly by and see a man and
brother subjected to such treatment,
and make no protest?
This man Miles is stranger to us,
but the fact of his having been married
is enough to awake in our sypathetic
being melancholy interest.
To know that a man has been mar
ried is to know that he has suffered.
But to know that he has been the un-
fortunate possessor of three very lively
wives at one time is to know that his
life has been sufficiently embittered
without thrusting him behind the bars
of prison.
but this should not be looked upon as q
crime.
When we think of the agony he must
have suffered trying to furnish house
to suit three different women; when we
realize the amount of miscellaneous
wearing apparel that must have hindered
and embarrassed him every night while
preparing for bed; when we see him
looking vainly for chair that is not
running over with skirts and corsets,
and sleeveless jackets and so forth
when we hear his groans as he falls
over three pairs of CATERS while
stumbling around in the dark after
three different kinds of medicine

and scratches that cover his face, and
