THE NAVIGATION OF RED RIVER,

The Legislature of Louisiana about two
weeks ago passed joint resolution instruct.
ing the Senators from that State and request.
ing the Representatives 70 use their best Of
forts for the passage of bill making an ap-
preparation for the improvement of the navi-
CATION Of Red river, especially at its mouth
This is matter In which Eastern and North
ern Texas has quite an interest. Dallas should
certainly feel some concern about it. Dallas
being the commercial entrepot and centre of
North Texas has a lively interest in every
commercial highway within her reach. Com
petition is the life OF trade and the more
routes we can secure for common carriers the
cheaper freight rates we can hope to COM
mand. With the navigation of Red river
improved as it should be, for seven or eight
months in the year, and some years it is a
longer time, there is water for tlrst-class
steamboats, from New Orleans and st. Louis
to Shreveport, they connecting with the
Texas " Pacific railroad at Shreveport Win
not these steamboats, give us as good trans
poitation to New Orleans rs the Morgan
steamers do? Are not two routes
to great commercial metropolis and sugar
and cotton market, such as New Orleans, bet.
ter than one! Are not two routes more condu-
Give to the material interests of trade than one
route? Prior to the time the general govern
ment saw proper TO clear out the raft
in Red river above Shreveport, which work
commenced in the latter par. of 1872, or
early in 1873, navigation was as good to JEFF
ferson as it was to Shreveport. The re-
moval of that raft, which acted as dam to
hold the water in the lakes and Cypress
bayou, was virtual death-blow to the
navigation to Jefferson, while it did not ma
terially benefit the navigation of upper, or
lower Red river. Another injury to the
navigation of this stream, in all probability,
is any attempts that may at any time be
made to improve the Atchafaaya. The waters
of the Red river where they flow into and
mingle with those of the Mississippi, make
heavy deposits Of sediment which gradually
form bar and fill up the channel, forcing
Red river down the Atchafalaya instea of
the Mississippi. 1t is certain that Louisiana
must lose Red river or the Atchafalaya, and
it Is better to lose the latter-so infinitely
better that It is apparent on its face. Red
river drains all Northern and Eastern Louis
lana and takes to New Orleans respect
able portion of the trade of Eastern
and Northern Texas. BY dyking the Atchaf-
alaya as Lost river was, it can be saved for
navigation from the gulf and the waters of
Red river diverted from it into their natural
receptacle, the Mississippi. Then by jetty-
ing the mouth of Red river as that of the
Mississippis, deep channel can always be
msint iined across the bar aud the passage of
Steamboats, in no way retarded. 1t Ia to be
hoped that our Senators and Representatives
from Texas will seethis question in the light
ofits importance to Texas and give to the
Senators and Representatives from Louisiana
that assistance they may need in securing pro-
Ter appropriations for the work.

Sudden Death of Colonel J. L.. Chan
dlcr.

Colonel j. l.. Chandler, travelling sales
man for the stationery house of George d
Barnard Il Co., st. Louis, died suddenly a
his farm on Duck creek, near Richardson
Saturday night, of paralysis. He had beer
complaining for several days past of {
numbness in his left leg. Saturday at p.
N. his left 70 OF became suddenly paralyzed
and he was thrown into commissions, and
died that night at eight o'clock.
Mr.. Palfrey, who represents the
same house, telegraphed his son,
who lives at Ash Grove, Missouri, to know
what to do with the remains. The deceased
was sixty years old, and had been connected
with the firm of Barnard & Co. for some ten
years past. He was extremely popular and
great favorite with those who knew him.
The firm in st. Louis, which was made aware
of his sickness, telegraphed to Mr.. Palfrey,
thinking the deceased still alive to do all
that could be done for him. The remains
will doubtless be shipped to 81. Louis for
interment

The next gentleman found by our reporter
was Mr.. Barnett Gibbs, City attorney. In
answer to the questions if he was willing to
be interviewed on the two-thirds rule, he re-
piled atfrmatively.
Reporter--Mr. Gibbs what are your views
on the two-thirds rule Should It be ab-o-
gated in State and National conventions or
not?
Mr.. Gibbs-I believe that .he two-thirds
rule should be abrogated because it nearly
always defeats the will of the majority in the
selection of candidates and leads very fire.
uuently to the selection of weaker men
than the prominent candidates. In this as in
all other party questions the majority should
rule and the sooner the party is educated up
to this principle the better.
Reporter What effect. in your opinion,
would the abrogaiion of the rule have as to
the denomination of Governor Roberts:
Mr.. Gibbs-I don't think its abrogation
will have any effect on the denomination of

Bees and Their Habits.

To bee keepers who desire to learn
something Of the many mysteries that
govern the most faithful stock of the
farm, let me say if you wish to be-
come acquainted with their habits
you must procure a frst-class nova
ble frame hive. One in which you
can manage your bees without get
ting them as angry as hornets, which
can only be prevented by using hive
that has no loose pieces to remove
before you can see the brood, bees
and queens, and then you can ham
die bees at the rapid rate of 20,
600 in five minutes, and eight times
that number in ten. You will find
the queen in the operation, and can
see her laying her eggs at the rate of
three thousand to four thousand per
day. have often seen a good pro.
life queen lay twenty'one eggs in
three minuts. This is truly astonish-
ing though true, and if she could con-
tinue at the above rate, the result
would be over 5000 per day.
Also while examining your stock

you WILL often see the young DeeS CUT
ting their own way out by gnawing
off the cap. Often failing at first to
make the opening large enough, they
sometimes are compelled to draw
back and cut out another ringlet OF
the Gaping in order to pass out free
ly. Now just at this point Of time in
the life Of the bee I wish to say is
very interesting, as they are truly
workers only in the hive for fourteen
days, and then they take the place of
those that so rapidly pass away as
outside workers. You will recollect
that told you in one of my articles
last winter that the workers only live
about forty-eight days, in the work
ing season, and those young bees
which are Matched out at the rapid
rate of 5000 per day are also workers,
but not outside workers until after
they are fourteen days old.
But would also have you know
that they are not idlers by any means
during their minority, as they are
very busy all this time cleaning cells,
packing away pollen in cells, and Of
ten feeding the queen. They seem to
detail themselves in numbers above
and around the queens, feeding and
spreading a sort of saliva on her alb
domen, while in the act of laying
eggs. The queen always examines
each and every cell before depositing
her egg in the same. This she does
by passing slowly but with such firm
ness of purpose that it is truly beau
tiful lesson in natures grand school
to see with what precision she thrusts
her head into each cell, and if found
vacant she turns herself with as much
firmness, introducing her abdomen,
and deposits but one egg in each cell.
am we'll aware that it often hap
pens that we are troubled with a vir-
gin queen, though often a fertile
worker, which you can always know
by the uneven or irregular circles they
make of their brood in depositing
their eggs, while you may also know
a fertile queen by the perfectly regular
form. She will always deposit her
eggs on both sides Of the combs for
brood. I apprehend the theory as
taught by most queen breeders that
the drones produced by pure Italian
queen which has mated with a black
drone as being greatly at fault and
should not be accepted as pure drones
or stock. l will further say that the
average of good prolific queen is
about two and a half years. I have
had one italian queen live over six
years, but this is an exception and
not the rule. I must close this arti-
Gle for the present, it being already
too long, but hope to give your readers
more interesting facts concerning the
mysteries Of our little pets. I have
only been able to learn from a long
experience and the aid of the hive in
which think more bees can be han
died in a given time, and much easier
than any of the other of the twenty
six hives l have used.-Cor. Western
