BEE CULTUR RE.

For the Ouachita Telegraph
The development of queens in a hive
necessitates 81 totally different shape
cell from those previously described.
These arc made only when necessity
calls for such; for instance, in the spring
when bees are preparing to swarm, or
when by some mischance the hive has
been deprived OF its old queen. Un-
like other cells they have no regularity
of place, shape or thickness; they are
made generally on the edges of the
combs; yet, often they are formed in
the very center, always in a hanging
position, the head down. That this
position is not necessity, I have
proved by turning the piece Of comb
containing the cell upside down, and I
think they are made thus simply to
save room between the cards of comb.
The cells are usually an inch deep and
a third of an inch in diameter, resem-
bling in its first stage the cup of an
acorn, when finished one pod peanut,
and after the queen has cut out it
looks like lady's thimble. The num-
Der Of cells royal, started in hive at
the same time, vary from five to

is more competent to furnish them

eminently entitle him to their patron

DEATH OF COL. A. c. McKEEN.

A dispatch has been received by DIR.
J. l.. McKeen, dated Bolton, Texas,
September %, announcing the death of
his brother, Col. A. G. McKeen. He
died at 1880 a. NJ, Monday, Septem-
Der %. Col. McKeen left Galveston
with his family about six months ago,
to engage in business at Bolton. DIR.
McKeen did not know of his illness.
Col. A. G. McKeen was born at Au-
gusta, Ga, in 1917; removed to Ala
bama in 1884 and was engaged in mer-
camille pursuits at Mobile for many
years. With the gold excitement in
1849, he went to California, but re-
turned in 1851 and located at Trenton,
La, where he remained, in mercantile
business, until 1860, in which year he
came to GALVESTON. He raised the first
company of Texas troops destined for
Virginia, and left for that State in
command of the Lone Star Rifles. He
remained in the service till he was
disabled in 1868 or '64, when he re-
turned home. From the close of the
war till 1875 he was engaged in the
grocery business in this city as men,
Der of the firm of J. L. & A. G. Nc
Keen & Co. The silent partner in this
house was the famous Gen. j. b.
Hood. Before the war Col. McKeen
was Bell and Everett man in politics,
but after secession was accomplished,
he linked his fortunes with those of
his State and section, and proved his
sincere devotion by entering the army
as above related. Col. McKeen leaves
many friends in this city to regret his
loss. He was liberal, generous, SOFIA
bic, charitable, and took an active in
terest in all that concerned the public
welfare. The family he leaves con-
sists of his wife and two sons, Robert
and Byron, the former in business at
Bolton, and the latter at Waco. DIR.
J. l.. McKeen, of this city, is his only
surviving brother.-CJalrestonN e,rs.

SENATORIAL CONVENTION.

The Democratic Convention for the
Senatorial district composed of the
parishes of Caldwell, Franklin, Rich.
land, Jackson and Ouachita, met at
the Opera House yesterday, each par
ish being well represented by delegates
residing In the parish. q. w. Nc
Cranie, chairman of the Senatorial
ton to order aud stated the purposes
for which it was called. He was then,
ON motion of Judge Bridger, of Cald-
we'll, made temporary president, and
Mr.. g. q. Williams, of Caldwell, was
made temporary secretary.
A committee of five, one from each
parish, was appoin ted by the Chair on
permanent organization and crelen-
tials. The following named gentlemen
were appointed AS members of the
committed: J. A. Smith, G. H. Moore,
Jno. Matthews, DIR. III. T. Smith, DIR.
Jno. Fuller.
The Committee reported fully on
credentials, and suggested the follow
ing gentlemen as permanen officers
of the Convention g. w. Mechanic,
president, and A. A. Gunby, Esq,
secretary, both of whom were elected
without dissent. We append the re-
suit of the first vote, which resulted,
as will be seen, in the nomination OF
Capt. Kidd, of jackson, and DIR. T.
Y. Ably, of Ouachita-both good men !:
Hon. e. e. Kidd, votes from Cald-
we'll Franklin, 8; Ouachita, q; Jack

total, %.
Interesting speeches were made by
DR.. Ably and Capt. Kidd, accepting
the nominations. Gen. King, M. c.,
being present, was called upon, and in
few remarks accounted satisfactorily
for his stewardship as Congressman
from this district.

THE DEBT ORDINANCE.

The DeSoto Democrat says: "We
stand pronounced against the debt pro.
vision, and nothing but the positive
mandate of the State Democratic Con-
vention shortly to assemble in Baton
Rouge, can change our position"
The Baton Rouge Convention will
have no right to take any position on
that question, because there has been
no canvass of the subject in any part of
the State. The manner of its submits
sion Invested it of political Significance.
1t is for the individual voter to decide,
and convention, or no convention, the
voter may vote for or against the Debt
Ordinance, without his fealty to Dem.
ocracy being called in question. The
Convention will transcend its legiti-
mate sphere Of action to touch the
question at all. We are satisfied it
will avoid a dangerous party reef in
leaving the Debt Ordinance just exactly
where the Convention finds 1.-THE
tickets to be printed In an alternative
form, that is, having both "For" and
against" the Debt Ordinance placed
upon the ticket,-thus leaving the
voter to make his own choice In the
matter.
