"Do you know that wasps are won.
derful paper-makersP" asked one OF
our practical Massachusetts, paper-man-
ufacturers the other day. /" They are,' y
said he. "They make real paper, just
as truly as paper-makers. A wasp flies
to flower and covers the front of its
body all over with the dust Of the flow
ers. This is moistened and mixed with
the wax which is secreted on the sur
face of the body. Then the wasp flies
away to m old fence, or other piece Of
weather-worn wood, which has q loose,
fuzzy, fibrous surface made so by ex-
posure to the. air, sun and rain. The
wasp rubs itself upon this fibrous mat.
ter just as it did upon the dust of the
flower, and . layer Of it sdheres to the
body and becomes mingled with wax in
the same way.
"Then away goes the wasp to the
nest which it is building. places itself
just on the spot where 1t wants the layer
of paper to be, and then works itself up
into heat by furious buzzing of the
wings, SO that the wax is m0istened
next to the body. and the paper drops
OF in the right place where it can be
fastened on. It's product is just as really
paper. according to the sense OF the
word in manufacturing. as any which
comes from a paper-mill. - Youths

ThelState Legislature at its late session hav-
ing failed to give an additional appropriation to
enlarge the duties and usefulness Of the Bureau
of Immigration, and Having appointed MIR. Rob
inson, of Manaiee county, Commissioner, vice
Hon. S. French, resigned it has been suggested
by an enlcrprisng and prominent citizen OF the
ST Johns river country, that East Florida, COM
prising the Indian river section, and Orange,
Volusia Putnam, St. Johns and Duval counties,
hold q convention at no distant day, in the cause
of immigration, transportation, etc, either at
Sanford or Paalka.-SouM Florida Journal
To bring the matter to focus, our esteemed
contemporary proposes Sanford as the point and
the 10Th of June, 1881, as the time for holding
the convention, and suggests that one delegate
be allowed for each post-office within the desig-
mated district.
We|have no objection 10 the holding of such
convention, but we cannot see that the fact OF
Mr. Robinson sappointmcnt makes it any more
necessary for East Florida TO hold such con-
vention than existed when Mr. French was com
missioner Nor can We sec any good reason for
restricting the convention in case il is held, to so
small a territory. Does not the Journal believe
that the labors Of Mr. Robinson will benefit East
Florida Does il imagine that because that gen
tleman is from the extreme southern section of
Florida, and will have his office in Tallahassee
that lie will labor to send immigrants into those
sections rather than into other parts of The
State If so, We think he does that gentleman
an injustice. We believe that he will labor faith
fully for Florida Without regard TO section. But
even if he should not, iii is out of his power, or
the power of dozen Bureaus of immigration,
to direct the tide of immigration to any particu-
lar place Settlers arc coming here in increased
numbers, and they will investigate for them
selves; besides, the State is now being splcn-
ddy and grauitously advertised throughout the
country by visitors, correspondents and men
who have already made investments here, so
that the advantages which each section presents
are becoming more and more known. All this
will 60 on. and in the end those sections of the
State which more nearly satisfy the notions of q
majority of intending settlers will be filled up
the most rapidly; no doubt all sections will have
a share
AS to the Bureau, we think it will do good
work Mr. RObinsons office will be In Tallahas
see, the Office here will remain in charge of Mr..
s. Fairbanks, and Mr.. d. S. Place, an active and
energetic man with large experience, has been
selected as general agent thus organized 1t

..rhe common Law ofthe senate

The mistake of the Democrats when they
came into power short time ago, was in max
ing clean sweep of all the officers in the Sen
ate II was a violation fthe custom that had
existed since the foundation of the government
namely, that the officers of the Senate should be
kept during good behavior. We believe the
present secretary is the sixth or seventh who
have held the office which shows how conserva-
tive the Senate has been in making changes.
very strong appeal was made by Republicans
and by some Democratic Senators at the time TO
limit the changes to officers who held the high
positions and to keep The body of the clerks.
The Democrats were rayenous, carrying every
thing away.
We find the above in the New York Herald,
which paper, il seems should be better informed
on matter about which accurate information is
SO easily had.
Instead of making % clean sweep of all the
Offices in the Senate" the Macon Telegraph says,
the Democrats retained just tsrenty-one out of
total of secenty-nine, as will be shown by refer
encc TO the last congressional directory issued
while The Radicals hal control of the Senate,
and then comparing the list of Senate employees
therein printed, with The list as printed in last
edition of the same book for the Forty Sixth
Congress. Among the employees thus retained
are some holding the most desirable and lucra-
tive places in the clerical force Of the Senate as
for instance the financial clerk, the enrolling
clerk, two clerks in the office ofthe Secretary OF
the Senate at salaries exceeding $4,000 each, the
assistant keeper of stationery at 81 800, and two
assistant doorkeepcrs at salaries over $500
each, the Superintendent of the folding room at
salary of s., 100 four messengers at 81 440 per
annum, each, and chief engineer, whose salary
is at least s., 500 per year, and another messen-
ger acting assistant dooIkeepcr So much for
the ''clean sweep in the Senate.
How was il in the House, when the Demo
Gratis captured that body They retained three
of the best paid employees in the Clerks office,
two of them receiving So 900 per annum, each,
an d the other 50 200, another at $4,000 per an
mum, and another at 81 200. This is the "clean
sweep they made in that body.

Democracy by going over to the Republicans.
l will not defend Virginia she needs no defense;
she has given TO the country, and world, and
humanity some of the proudest names in history.
She holds in her bosom to-day the ashes Of some
of the noblest and greatest men that ever illus
trated the glories of any country; and l say to
the Senator from Virginia that neither Jefferson.
nor Madison, nor Henry. nor Washington, nor
great men whom Virginia produced ever ac
cepted a commission TO represent one party and
came here and represented another party.
Undressing himself 10 the Republicans)

side of the chamber who doubts the honorable
Senator was sent to this body as q Democrat
Is there man in this vast audiehce who doubtsl
Is there man in Vrsinia who doubts it, The
gentleman himself will not deny it. Up to this
hour it was not known on this side the chamber
or in the country how the gentleman would
vote The Senator from New York (Mr COnk-
ling) seemed TO have information that somebody
who had been elected as a Democrat would
vote with the Republicans, and ! wanted to find
out who that was. 1t seems. / have uncovered

gentleman, he has very broadly hnted
las he had right TO do) he should have gone 10
the people of Virginia and said A." You believed
me to be Democratic when you gave me this
position, but now feet ii my duty to cooperate

had done that he would have asked the people
of Virginia to renew his commission, and ne
would have had q claim TO the tile of manhood
to which he pronounced himself entitled here in
such theatrical style. l have done what the
newspapers could not do. what both parties
could not do, what the whole country could not
do have brought out the Senator from Viz

last appeal TO the honorable Senator, whatever
other fate befa him, to be true to the trust
which the people of Virginia. gave him. Who
ever else may be disappointed, whoever else
may be deceived, l appeal 10 the gentleman to
be true TO the people and sentiment of the party
which have kindly commissioned him to seat
