PeninsuIar Virginia.

Tine soil of peninsular Virginia is
rather kindly than rich. Certainly it
has not that richness of virgin land of
which it is said, "Tickle it with hoe,
and it laughs in harvest" but light
manuring produces quick return and
ample crops, and that considerably ear
lier than in other places north of Nor
folk: There is still remnant OF the old
style of farming to be seen, of which it
was said that there we're only three crops
raised in Virginia-corn, hogs and mig
gers, of which the hogs ate all the corn,
and the niggers devoured all the hogs
One of these "icrops," however, is re-
moved from the list.
"The poor white" is poor-very poor.
The small farmers of the north cannot
compare with these in absolute destitu-
tion of money.

slowly recovered consciousness a. te

Bees on the Wing.

| When a swarm leaves for the WOODS
they are off before you fairly know it.
They drift away from the hive IL a
widespread and apparently aimless con-
course, they suddenly gather up their
skirts, Draw together their forces, and
away they go, q humming, flying vor-
tex of bees, the queen apparently in the
center and the mass revolving about her
as a pivot, over orchards and meadows,
across creeks and swamps, or woods and
deep valleys, straight for the appointed
tree, slow at FIRST 80 that you can keep
up with them, but presently with a
speed that wsuld tire fox-hound. In
this flight the individual bees do not
move in their right lines. or straight
forward like flock of birds, but round
and round like chaff in a whirlwind !;
unitedly they form whirling, revolving,
nebulous mass fifteen or twenty feet
across, that G as as straight as a projec-
tile to its mark. They are not partial
as to the kind of tree-pine, hemlock,
elm, birch, maple, hickory any tree
with a good cavity high up or low
down. A swarm of mine ran away from
the new patent hive i gave them and
took up their quarters in the hollow
trunk of an old apple tree across an adj
Joining field. The entrance was mouse
hole near the ground. Another swarm
in the neighborhood deserted their
keeper and went into the cornice of an
clubhouse that stood amid evergreens in
the rear of large mansion. But there
is no accounting for the taste of bees, as
Samson found when he discovered the
swarm in the carcass Tor more probably
the skeleton) Of the lion he had slain.

Forty-eight negroes start south to
their old homes on the James Howard
this afternoon. They are looking
wretched and miserable, and declare
with one voice that there never was a
greater mistake than their journey
northward. They say that it is impos-
sible for the negro to do otherwise than
starve in Kansas, and that at the south,
at any rate, they have at all times plenty
to eat and plenty to wear. One signifi-
cant tact in their return is, that although
Messrs. Sells & Company have offered
them transportation to any part of the
valley they may wish to reach, they in
sist on going to their old homes or no.
where. Bulldozing will, they think, be
q delightful change from the open
hearted reception they enjoyed in Kan
sas. Their statements about the amount
of disease and death among them are
hardly credible, but the fact remains
that they are coming back in no such
condition as they went north. The way
they travel into cheese, crackers and
dried beef with which they have been
furnished lis serious OBJ stacle to CONVEX
sation. They are too busy.

Evenings purple glory slept
j. peak and cliff and stream
And the voicsless wavelet crent
To the shore with lingering CLEAN
High above the cedar grove,
Hesper led the starry world,
Shedding the sweet light of love
On land in slumber turled.
Twilight's weird and mystic vail
Lay on rock and wave and lea.
When we drept with yiewless sail
Into the enchanted yea.
Knew we then the SIRENS shore.
With its fatal melodies
But the wind no whisper bore
Ger the dark seductive seas.
Gazed we through the gathering shads.
Fear-bound as If on the grave
But the Siren sister-maids
saw we not beyond the wave,
1t was well no whisper broke
On the silence over all,
That no music magic woke,
Weary spirits to enthrall.

THE ARTISTS BRIDE.

In one of the splendidly decorated sa-
looms at st. James was assembled a
group OF young and lovely girls, whose
delicate fingers were busily engaged in
different kinds of ornamental needle
work, which, under their skillful arrange
ment, formed bouquets which rivaled
nature in the brilliancy of their colors
and accuracy of shades. They were the
queens maids of honor, and between
their gay chatteting and busy fingers
employed the time while waiting for her
rising. The only grave person in the
assembly was the dowager Duchess de
Abby, the chief of the ladies' of honor.
Among the blooming group the
youngest was remarkable for simplicity
of dress and the quiet modesty of her
whole appearance. Her attire was a
dress of black velvet closed to the
throat, but of which the skirt, open in
front, inclosed an underdress of white
satin; the sleeves came just below the
elbow and coquettishly disclosed the
arm and hand of the most dazzling
whiteness. "A plated tucker encircled
her graceful neck, on which hung a
chain to which was attached q large
cross, and the luxuriant hair, simply
parted o the forehead and conf aed by
allarge scarf, completed her costume.
This was the daughter of one of the
most illustrious families of Scotland.
Her father, Lord Ruthven, to princeIy
fortune claimed q pedigree Of which he
was more proud than Of his wealth.
Lucy, his daughter, had secretly arrived
at the English court on her appointment
to q post in the ueen's household, there
to complete the education which had
been carefully guided by her father. Re
tired and simple in her tastes, her mind
instinctively sought the sublime in the
works of nature and art. She excelled
in painting, and her genius had created
a world of her own in the daily contem-
platiOn Of the productions of tine best
masters, which adorned the galleries of
her father. Paul Veronese, Guido,
Rubens, were of the number of her
friends, and she vowed them eternal
gratitude for the light their talents shed
on her solitude.
The habits and manners of Lucy con-
trasted strongly with those of her COM
panions, who had been habituated to
more Independence and liberty. Gentle
and timid to excess, abe scarcely at
tempted TO answer thesportive and often
mischievioua sallies OF her companions.
The large clock in the saloon chimed
the hour of ten. Alleges were directed
to it,and several voices exclaimed g He's
very latel justaa q domestic announced
- the painter, Van Dyck."

THE EXODUS AGAIN.

It was generally thought until very recently
that the emigration mania among the negroes
of Louisiana and Mississippi had subsidized,
and that the laboring population along the
river had settled down to regular work, while
those among them who were determined to
go to Kansas had postponed carrying out their
intentions till next fall, when their crops
should have been gathered and sold, and their
contracts expired.
The general opinion, too, was to the effect
that the exodus fever would not reach the
sugar parishes OF the State, where the high
est wages are paid, and at shorter intervals
than they are elsewhere. 1t appears, how
ever, that In neither Of these cases was gen.
eral opinion well founded, for within
the past few weeks symptoms of the
emigration insanity have, according
to various reports, been manifested
in different degrees in the parishes of Pointe
Coupee, West Feliciana, the two Baton
Rouges and st. James. The authenticity and
reliability of these reports seem to have been
confirmed by the telegraphic dispatch from
our special correspondent at Bayou Sara,
published in Mondays DEMOCRAT, which
conveys the strange Information that the
