A Southern Orange Plantation.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, writing from Port Eads, says:
Daylight found us but 25 miles below
New Orleans, and, to my great delight,
we entered the region of sugar-cane and
orange-groves just as the rising sun scat
tered the river fog and brought day of
soft beauty like May Sabbath at the
North. The air was balmy but stimu-
lating, and the scene beautiful beyond
description. North of the river the cane
fields stretched from the levee back to
the lake, while on the south side dark
forest, open field, and orange-grove al
ternated. The dark green trees of the
orchards, set much thicker than apple
trees, hung full of the rich green and
yellow fruit; and as the boat landed ev-
cry mile or two we had abundant time
to enjoy the scene. Atlength we reached
the Big Orchard, where the boat lay an
hour, and [ hastened on shore to secure
a few specimens. Far back, almost hid
den by the trees, stood the low, broad
cottage, entirely surrounded by porch,
which is the standard dwelling here, and
when l made offer to purchase from a
mulatto, the only person in sight, 1 was
confronted by a stately dame, who rose
from the porch, looking as if she might
have stepped right out of the age of
Louis NV. Her black dress, her snowy
hair, her strangely fair complexion, set
off by white shawl, added to the lofty
dignity with which she said:
"Sir-r-r, We do not retail re oronjiz.' -
I had blundered! When one has 1000
trees in full bearing it does look little
small to be asked to sell nickel's
worth. Creole dignity was touched, but
when 1 explained that 1 only wanted a
few, which l could take from the tree
myself, to show my children away in
the cold North, the vieille madame be-
came all graciousness. She pointed out
the exact shade which would turn to q
rich yellow by the time I got home; told
me they sold $4,000 worth from 1000
trees, and that this year they sent to
market in their own boat, always pick
ing them as many days before complete
ripeness as it would probably take for
them to reach their destination. She
said one good apple here was worth two
or three oranges, and smiled sweet un-
belief when l told her of our land OF
long winters, where apples are common

The Coolest Town in the World.

Here it may relieve us when the mer-
curry has crept into the nineties, to think
of a town which Humboldt and other
travellers have pronounced the coolest
on the globe. This is Jakutsk Cor va
kootsk), chief town of the province of
that name in Eastern Siberia, on the
left bank Of the River Lena, 81 deg. 1
minute north, longitude 119 deg. A
minutes east, and distant from St. Pc
tersburg 5,951 miles. The ground re-
mains continually frozen to the depth of
800 feet, except in midsummer, when it
thaws three feet at the surface. During
ten days in August the thermometer
marks 81 degrees, but from November
to February it ranges from ~ to 6S deg.
below zero, and the river is solid ice for
nine months out of the twelve. The
entire industry of the place-populatiOn
5,SOO-is comprised in candle works, ,and
yet it is the principal market of Eastern
Siberia for traffic with the hunting tribes
of the Buriats. The former, mostly
Iomadic, having large herds of horses
and cattle, bring to market butter, which
is sent on horseback to the port of
Okhotsk. The Buriats. also nomadic,
bring quantities of skins of sables, fox
es, martens, hares, squirrels, and the
like, and many of them are sold at the
great fair in June, which, with May, is
the active period Of the year. In May
the collected goods are conveyed to the
seaports, whence they are sent in every
direction. The merchandise, chiefly
furs and mammoth tusks, sold at fairs,
amount in value to 100000 rubles

Hiving Bees by the Use of Electricity

Perhaps one of the queerest applica-
tions of electricity to the useful arts is
its employment in the hiving of bees
when they swarm. The old-fashioned
way of accomplishing this interesting
feat of domestic economy was, if not
absolutely dangerous, at least quite an
noying and provoking. German scien-
fists of a practical disposition con-
ceived the notion of utilizing the elec-
trio force to stupify, without injuring,
the bees for short period. The plan
was found to work like a charm. 1t
was first tried upon bees that had gath
cred on trees. Whether the clusters
were large or small, the result was per-
feet. The bees fell upon the ground in
a atrance which admitted of safe handling
The next stage in the experiment was
to capture the bees when they were
about to swarm. By introducing the
ends of two conducting wires into a
fully occupied honeycomb, and turning
on the current for an instant, the in
sects were rendered inactive for about
80 minutes. Bee-rearing and the pro-
ducing of honey are yearly becoming a
greater industry in this country, and
especially in the Mississippi Valley.
Parties interested in the business should
test the German idea of hiving bees by
electricity. The chance is not remote
that bee proprietors will apply too
strong a shock and lose their bees, but
they will gain in science, which anchor
ates all small disasters in this progress
i've age.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The present Parliament in England
was summoned for the 4th of March,
1874, and assembled on that day. If it
should only survive until the 18th of
April next, it will not only have run in
to seventh session, but it will have ex
ceeded in duration any previous Parlia-
ment summoned since the Union, and
will have been the longest-lived Parlia
ment for a century.

and, do not fall into the error of follow
ng every ones advice, but test each
ones counsel by your own judgment
and situation, and decide whether it
will apply. The raising Of eggs, in the
long run, is more profitable than chick
ems, and they always meet with ready
sale, at remunerative prices. Do not
look for much profit the first year; but
when once established, and fair stock
on hand, you may expect to clear some
thing-but there must be some labor,
and more fatigue and patience. As an
occupation for women, there is often
times drawback, as the birds and eggs
must be attended to in wet or dry wealth
er, hot or cold. This might be damag-
ing to the health, if not prepared to
meet the emergencies with warm clothes
and rubber boots, to turn the water.
Slippers, lace collars and gaudy neck
ties must be laid aside, and apparel
must be provided suited to the business,
for which there must be fondness.
There is no reason why a woman should
not be an adept, if persevering. There
is no need of costly buildings or incu-
bators, but commence in small way
and work up. Remember one thing
fowls will not bear neglect and give
any profit. Keep all the fowls that can
bo 10 1,1o fol nd
no more, for the surplus is only a detri
ment to the whole, crowding the build
ings and consuming the food, which, if
spent on fewer fowls, would bring a
handsome return. Your own labor and
attendance must be gratis; you must
not charge the birds any thing for it, or
value it too highly. You will never
come out even if you do. Young
birds of every description must have
air and sunshine, OF die; but should not
be Matched too early. They will not
bear confinement, and turn out well in
the end. Eggs may be successfully
Matched and chickens raised in an in
cubator, but they are, to more or less
extent, valueless. There is no use to
turn such chicks in yard to scratch.
They know nothing about it no mother
has taught them, and no mother ever
clucked to them, and they are weak,
from a lack of natural warmth of the
mother hen. All the good feed and care
is in vain. The birds are not natural;
they contract rheumatism: their toes
draw out of shape; their legs become
weak, and they sit still and die from
weakness. They require the natural
warmth of the body, which is like none
other. They need something to look to
in danger, and the natural voice to
encourage and teach, as well as to
nurse. With these they will thrive and
increase in growth, and the strength
will keep pace with growth. When the
mother hen weans them, which she
frequently does at the age of three weeks,
they are prepared to care for themselvs,
and are taught all the ways and habits
of adult birds, and continue to improve.
A hen seldom leaves her chicks volun-
tarily until they can care for themselves,
and she does it by degrees.-Country
Gentleman.

Some time ago, as our readers will
doubtless remember, we took the posi-
tion that Mark Twain stood at the
head Of American humorists and wits,
the Nashville American having given
that place to Artemus Ward. We
sent copy Of the Tribune, containing
our answer to the Americans article
to Mark Twain, and il reply we have
a very pleasant letter from that great
American mirth-provoker. Mr. Glenn
ems speaks with such kindness of Ar
tcmns Ward, and discusses some Of
the personal qualities that endear him
to the English people in such pleas
ant way, that we are sure be will not
object to the publication Of that part
of the letter. 1t also affords us an op-
portunity to put in print ''goakv
perpetrated by Artemus, which Mr..
Clemens assures us has never before
been published Mark Twain was
born in East Tennessee, and, perhaps,
still retains some affection for the
scenes of his childhood. AT any rate
he counts in East Tennessee many of
his most enthusiastic admirers and
sincere friends. The letter of which
we have spoken is as follows, and we
trust that Brother Doak, of the Ameri-
can, will enjoy the new joke attributed
to his favorite humorist:
HARTFORD. Dec. l8.-Dear Sir: |
thank you very much for that pleas
ant article. OF course it is not for
me to judge between Artemus and
myself on trade merits, but when it
comes to speaking of matters personal
| am a good witness. Artemus was
one of the kindest and gentlest of
men in the world, and the hold which
he took on the Londoners sutpasses
imagination. To this day one of the
first questions which Londoner asks
me is If | knew Artemus Ward: the
answer 'yes,' makes that man my
friend on the spot. Artemus seems to
have been on the warmest terms with
thousands Of those people Well, he
seems never to have written harsh
thing against anybody--neither have
II for that matter-at least nothing
harsh enough for body to fret about
and | think he never felt better to-
ward people. There may have been
three or four people like that in the
world at one time or another, but they
probably died long while ago
think his lecture on the Babies in the
Woods" was the funniest thing ever
listened to. Artemus Ward once said
to me, gravely, almost sadly, "Clem.
ems, have done too much -fooline. too
much trihing; | am going to write
something that will live"
"Well, what, for instance?p
In The same grave way, he said:
"a he."
1t was al admirable surprise; was
just getting ready to cry, he was be-
coming pathetic. This has never beeu
in print-you should give it to your
friend Of the American, for l Judge by
what he writes Of Artemns that he
will appreciate it. | think it's mighty
bright-as well for lis queer sarcasm
as for its happy suddenness and unex-
pectedness. S. L. CLEMENS"
