Columbia. Cant we have one established here
so that our farmers may realize the highest pri-

The Charlotte Observer says: "Messrs.

the city and will remain throughout the season,
having established themselves here for the pur-
pose Of buying cotton. They will buy not from
wagons, but from buyers. A Norfolk firm will

BEE CULTURE.
AGRICOLA,

OF the many industries that grace
our Southern homes, there are none
that gives more satisfaction or greater
returns for our attention than the care
bestowed on the honey bee. Held in
the light of profit and gain, it returns
fully double our outlay, and our work
for them. 1t gives our tables luxury
that far surpasscs anything that hands
can form. 1t gives our druggists ma
terial for which there is no substitute.
If wo keep them for pleasure we

order ana system that govern their
lives, and something now every day
something that will teach us wisdom,
duty and obedience; we find one head

moral qualities, such, for instance, that
Il man of clear and upright conscience
can alone work with bees. Another
is

RICE AND SUGAR CROPS.

We find tho following item in the
Thibodcaux Sentinel, of last week:
The rico planters arc beginning to
harvest their crops. Those who have
been fortunate enough to have pumps
to irrigate their crops will reap a fine
harvest, but the extraordinary expense
occasioned by this species of irrigation
will take away a large portion of the
profits that would otherwise have been
made.
. Those who could not artificially irri-
gate will make small crop, but as
their expenses have been light they
will probably pay expenses. The late
rains have brought the sugar cane out
rapidly, which now bids fair for fine
yield, but owing to the thinness OF the
stand, especially of the rattoon, the
the crop will not reach any large figures.
Upon the whole the crops of Lafourche
may be expected to fall rather below a
fair average.

be it an old box hive, hollow tree, or
tho latest patent hive, presents the
same order, activity and energy. The
front of the hive, around which the
guards are stationed, through which
the working bees are seen coming and
going, will remind one of populous
and busy city. The gates are crowded !,
some coming in with loads of nectar,
some busted over with the pollen from
the flowers into which she has dived,
some carrying huge baskets of pollen
and propolis on their legs, while others
are bringing food to the guards, others
securing and cleaning the gallery, some
are bringing out the refuse OF the hive,
a dead bee, and unworked bits of
combs; and many times some are seen
battling bravely with some robber bee
who is fighting for admittance.
Research and interest in bees are
ages old. We are told by Pliny that
the philosopher Hyliscus quilted the
world and went to the desert to study
the industry and habits of the bee.
Nor has time lessened this interest.
Mr.. Langstrotte tells US, ssthat the
bee is not a native of the New World,
called them sthe white mans fly"
Mr.. Longfellow, in his ssSong of
Hiawatha," in describing the advent OF
the European to the Western world,
makes his Indian warrior say to the
bee and the white clover
swheresoer they move before them
Swarins the singing fly, the Ammo,
Swarms the bee, the honey-maker;
Whereso'er they tread. beneath them

A TERRIBLE WARNING.

Madison Journal, 26th.j
In Vicksburg on Tuesday night, Joe
Fisher, young man of about seven
teen summers, and a native of the city,
shot and mortally wounded Della
Lopez, his quadroon paramount, at a
bawdy house on jackson street. In
her dying declaration the murdered
woman showed clearly that the crime
was attributable to jealousy alone. The
Herald in commenting on the affair,
takes occasion to give parents a little
wholesome advice concerning their
growing up sons. 1t says:
"Fathers and mothers, draw a lesson
from this sad story of woe and crime.
At evcntide, when your boys leave
your hearthstone, look, whittier their
footsteps are bound, and offer better
Inducements for them to stay at home,

your boy leaves your side after supper

to what danger he is exposed, aud to
what hellish dens of iniquity and vice

with, while he is yet Of tender years.

good focal point from which to branch
out, and under the pretext of going
there, the young drift into iniquity.
There is yet time to arrest this fro

1t is difficult to see why the late Con-
stitutional Convention provided for the
election, once in four years, of men,
bers of the Senate and also members of
the House of Representatives, both go
ing in and coming out at the same
time. Why elect Senators, when we
are to elect members of the House OF

is entirely too long term for the pop

A great many changes may occur in
four years. For instance, in 1876 a
Conservative or Democrat could hardly
be found to admit that a dollar of the
Warmoth debt was valid or ought to be
paid. In 1879 it had become so sacred
that a majority of a convention, which
claimed to represent the will of the
people, could not find words in the die
tionary strong enough to express their
condem nation of those who would lay
hands on Il single cent of it. The "wOrld
