The Democratic Hive.

Many persons have been surprised
within the past fortnight or more at
the activity in our Democratic apiary,
and there has been a disposition mani
tested by the common and hungry
enemy TO attribute it TO threatened
series swarm from the Democratic
hives. 1t is true that there has been
some swarming, but as sometimes will
happen in the best regulated bee com
munities, without the queen, and the
congregation has naturally been scat
tered and uncertain, with a disposition
to 60 back again Our too hopeful and
enthusiastic Republican friends should
better understand the uncertainties of
the swarming process. 1t must be a
very fine, clear day to make it COM
pletely successful, as any student of
agriculture knows, and a meddlesome
urchin has been known to pay the pen
atty of his curiosity by being himself
selected as the perch of a swarm, with
the most distressing and melancholy
consequences. We might also point
out the curious mistakes which people
not acquainted with bee methods some
times make ina failure to detect the
difference between a useless drone and
busy apis fasciata; and solitary An
dreneta, because he is bigger in size,
and makes more noise than the opeda,
has been taken for a bee of conse-
quence, whereas he is more pretentious
then important. AS a matter of fact
our Democratic bee swarms are Meth
er numerous nor serious. When they
find-as they will in few days where
the queen bee is, and hear the tinkling
of the apiary bell, they will all return
safely and industriously to the Demo
cratic hive. BALTIC. Gazette.

Forgetting Friendship.

There are men and women in pub
lie life whose pathway is marked by
the &" remains of whilom friends
whom they have squeezed dry and
dropped like SO many sue ed oranges.
In politics it is said of such man that
he is kicked down the ladder by which
he climbed. In literary or other
walks the human sponge often swells
up with the thought that he has " out
grown" his humble friends of other
days. In private life the self conscious
soul contents itself with becoming more
and more the centre of its little cirCum-
ference. taking none within its orbit
who will not consent TO re volve around
it and emit light and warmth for its
enjoyment. There have been many
and noble definitions of what a friend
is. People of real individuality,
strength and senstiveness doubtless
have fewer real friends than they are
apt to think, unless they have been
cherishing, unconsciously, low ideals
But whatever a friend may not be, Ger
;ainly that sweet and noble term is
not unmerited by one who, however
generous he may be in other directions,
is selfish as himself.

The Kind of a Reformer He Is.

Mr.. John V l.. Findlay, of Balti
more, who was turned out of the nice
position he held of City Solicitor, in
which he got large pay for small work,
has become great reformer, and is
now one of the leading advocates of
that great measure. He belongs to the
Bannon- Henkle school, don't want
any reform SO long as they can hold
their places, but extremely anxious
about reform as soon as the party gets
tired of them and lays them aside. The
reform of such men is hollow il means
simply to reform themselves into office,
and it makes no difference which fac
ton does it These reforms, based
upon selfshness, soon meet the fate
they deserve, and the Governor has
been particularly unfortunate is his Sc
lection of cohorts. With the hundi eds
of unselfsh men in the State who would
cooperate with him, why should he
keep them in the background and push
such men as Bannon, Henkle, Findlay,
Campbell Hamilton and others for
ward? Does he want his reform move
ment to be judged by the people he
puts at the head Of it1 A man is known

Another Outrage.

AT or about midnight of Saturday
last, Mrs. Hetty Jones, middle aged
white widow woman, while returning
from a neighbours house to her home,
on the outskirts of the village of Girdle-
tree Hill, six miles from this place, was
ized by negro man named Charles
Spencer, who had hyidently been lyiag
in wait for her, and violently assaulted.
Owing to her struggles, the fiend did
not. Mrs Jones says, succeed in &C
complishing his vile purpose, and she
succeeded i'll escaping from his clutch
es and reaching her home in an ex-
hausted condition. On Sunday morn
ing dispatch was received here re-
uuesting the authorities 10 be on the
lookout for the negro. He shortly
Afterwards made his appearance in
town and was subsequently arrested by
Constable Porter and taken before Jus
tice Russell, who committed him for a
further hearing On Wednesday after
noon he was taken to Girdletree Hill
and given a hearing before Justice
Jesse Jones. The State was represen
ted by Col L. l.. Dirickson, and Geo
w. Purnell, Esq, appeared for the
prisoner. Mrs. Jones affidavit in re-
gard to the affair was taken, and by
agreement of counsel Spencer was com
mitted to Jail to await the action of the
grand ;ury at the October term of the
Circuit Court A large crowd was
present at the hearing, and the feeling
in the neighborhood was decidedly
averse to the prisoner. Spencer is a
well-built, dark skinned negro, appar-
emily about % or "a years of age. He
bears a bad reputation in the neighbor-
hood of Girdletree Hill, where he re-
sides, and it is alleged that on two
other occasions he has been guilty OF
grossly insulting unprotected white
ladies in that vicinity Mrs. Jones is
a ooor woman who earns her living by
doing washing and performing other
household duties for residents of the
neiphborhood, and at the time OF the
alleged outrage was returning from the
house of Mr.. VIM. Blackboard, where
she had been at work. The negro de-
MES the charge, and processes to be
able, at the proper time, to prove an
abb. He says that he heard early on
Sunday morning that he was accused
of the crime, and came to Snow Hill
in order ITO get fair trial" He was
in town several hours before he %as
arrested, and did not. by his sCttlons'
exhibit any signs Of guilt.
