THE Philadelphia Times, claiming to be
Independent but really Democratic, does not
give favorable notice of Prof. Hills lecture
to the North on constitutional law. 1t says:
Ben Hill has shot off his mouth again, and
although it hit Chittenden of New York,
whom it was aimed, fiat in the face, it seems
likely to ricochet and knock the Democratic
party little further back. The Republican
party should insure Benjamin's life; it will
be money out of its pocket when he and jeff
Davis shuttle off this mortal coil.''

NEVER DESPAIR,

"Ah! Heaven does indeed temper the
wind to the shorn lamb" pathetically said
old Mrs. Diflendorier the other evening at a
tea drinking, after emptying her twenty
eighth cup of Young Hyson. why, what
do you mean? % You know that young
widow, Mrs. Bitien, who lives across the
street from us? Well, she had nothing but
sorrow, trouble and distress for the past five
years. First, her father was killed by a
burglar; then her mother married a min
strel after that she had the yellow fever
and small pox together and next her hus-
band failed, and she had to take in washing.
1t was perfectly dreadful. The poor wo-
man nearly went crazy. She was Just be-
ginning tn bear up little again, when her
brother was sent to the Penitentiary Rife;
and finally, last month her husband died in
at, and the very next day her baby chok-
ed TO death on a gum drop" "Gracious 1!
the poor thing /" Wasn't it just terrible :?
Everybody believed she'd commit suicide
then; and she would have done so, too, but
last week somebody providentially coaxed
her to go TO a church raflle-and what do
yoI all snppose happened? Why, she won
seaf-skin saclue - "You don't mean

COLUMN.


We are often asked by beginners in bee
keeping "What kind ofbees shall we keep"
To all such our answer will be to keep ltal-
iaus. If it is not possible, or even conven-
lent, to obtain Italians at the start, begin
with the common black bees, and, later,
procure one or more pure Italian queens
with which to Italanize the stocks. 1t is
now almost universally conceded-almost,
for there are still some practical bee-keepers
who prefer the black bees-that under SINH
lar circumstances the Italians are the most
profitable. Professor Cook in his Manual of
the Apiary, enumerates no less than eleven
points in favor of the Italians over the black
bees. Some of these points may not weigh
heavily in the scales, but others are of prime
importance. The main ones are: First, that
they have longer tongues, and can therefore
gather from many flowers from which the
black bees cannot. Second, they are more
active, and, with the same opportunities,
gather more honey. Third, the queens arc
more prolific. Fourth, the yellow abdomen
makes her majesty more conspicuous, and
she can therefore be readily found when
looked for. Fifth, the bee-moth does not
easily gain foothold among the Italians.
Sixth they are more amiable.
