bringing Drowned Bees to Life.

A lady in Providence relates the fol-
lowing story: Her father once brought
home n molasses hogshead to be used as
a water tank. On washing day her
mother said: A.
T,ot's throw the suds in it to soak the
molasses from the bottom.
The instant she had done so she ex'
claimed:
ooh, I have drowned hundreds Of our
neighbor's bees. -,
The hogshead was black with bees that
were busily appropriating the sweet from
what they must have considered an enor-
nous blossom. The good lady made
haste with her skinner to skim the bees
from t! top Of the water and spreat
them on a board in the sunshine, bu
they seemed drowned and nearly dead
and she was very sorry. The bees tina

Discoveries Mt POmpeii.

A woman with q child has been dis
covered at Pompeii in n narrow street
twelve feet above the level OF the an
cieut pavement. 1t is well-known that
the catastrophe of IS A. d. commenced
with thick shower of small pumice
stones, by which the streets of Pompeii
were covered up to the roofs OF the
houses. Stones were succeeded by ashes,
which became solid owing to the action
of successive showers of boiling water;
and these ashes now form the top layer
of the materials which cover the ruins
of Pompeii. Most of the unhappy be-
ings who remained in the houses after
the eruption first reached the town made
their escape through the windows, but
the greater part of these fugitives could
have taken but few steps, and must have
been quickly suffocated by the poisonous
fumes. With one arm the woman whoss
skeleton has now been found was clasp
ing the legs of the child, whose bod.
shows contraction in the arms and legs
and a general emaciation, which lead Il
to suppose that the child must have beel
very i'll. It was little boy about te
years of age. Doubtless the woman wa
the mother of the child. Some jewel
found on the female skeleton indicate
person of condition two bracelets {
gold encircled the arm which held tn
boy, and on the hand were two gol
rings, the one set with an emerald o
which is engraved horn of plenty, an
the other with an amethyst bearing
head OF Mercury.

How Some Poets Worked.

How Dryden worked l can not find
recorded doubtless ut any time and all
times, whenever the need of money
pressed him. Pope always required his
writing desk to be set upon his bed be-
fore he rose. Gray, the author Of the
"Elcgy," was, perhaps, Of all writers
the most curiously minute in his method.
1t is said that he perfected each line sep
arately, amending and rewriting it over
and over again, and never commenced
another until the first had wholly salts
fed his fastidious taste. Byron sat down
to write without any premeditation his
ideas flowed with his ink, and one line
suggested the next But after the poem
was completed, and during its passage
through the press, he was continually
altering, interlining, and adding. The
first copy of "The Giaour" consisted Of
only 400 lines; to each now edition were
added new passages, until it swelled to
nearly 400 lines.
During the printing Of "The Bride of
Abydos" he added 200 lines, and many
of the original were altered again and
again. One of the most constantly la-
borious writers of whom we have any
account was Southey. In one of his let
ters he says: "Imagine me in this
great study of mine (at Gesta Hall, Kes-
wick), from breakfast till dinner, from
dinner till tea, ard from tea till supper,
in my old black coat, with oorduroys
alternated with the long worsted panta-
looms and CATERS in one, and the green
shade. and sitting at my desk, and have
my picture and my history. - My
actions are rs regular as those OF st.
Dustan's quarter bags. Three pages Of
history after breakfast; then to tran
scribe and copy for press, or to make my
selections and biographies, or what else
suits my humor till dinner time; from
dinner till tea I read, write letters, Sc,
the newspapers, and very often indug'
in siesta. After tea go to poetry
and correct, and rewrite, and copy till
am tired, and then turn to anything til
supper-and this is my life, which, If
be not merry one, is yet as happy a
/ heart could wish. ."-Ar1osy.

FOOling n. Thiers.

Spies do not always render services
proportionate to the pay they draw, and
their employers are noe doubt often sorely
vexod by the blundcrs they commit
through overzeal. In 1872, when the
Count de Chambord had gone to hold a
sort of court at Antwerp, and was gen
orally thought to be on the eve OF getting
restored to the French throne, NJ. Theirs
sent spies to watch his movements. One
Of these was so ubiquitous that he ended
by attracting the attention of two OF the
Bourbon Princes supporters, who we're
young noblemen fond OF fun. These
gentlemen, keeping their eyes on the
spy, found that he was in the habit OF
spending his evenings in n certain cafe
on the Grande Place. Repairing to this
establishment they seated themselves
near to their man, and began talking
about the Count do Chambord's doings
in whispers just loud enough for The fel.

up his ears, and soon he must have been
convinced thai ne was discovering most
valuable secrets. The young men re-
lated marvellous stories about the Princes
plans, the number of adherents he was
gathering in France, and spoke OF grand
coup detat which was being prepared
for him by n number Of statesmen and
Generals who hoped to take the country
by surprise. In great excitement the

The Actor Versus the PLAY,

1t is certainly the idea of all dramatic
representation that the play itself is the
one important thing. The actors are by
rights only cunning and adept lay fig
ures, that surround themselves with the
scenes, and endure their acting with the
passions of one play after another. II
this is done with much power and art, it
is so much the more creditable to the
actors and delightful to the audience.
If it is done but poorly, then still the
play has its own vitality and its own
claims to respect. In the same way 1t
may even be pleasant to read from torn
and dirty volume, if the words them
selves are fine. This, without doubt, is
the natural and reasonable way Of con-
sidering plays and play actors. For
merly it was the universal one. 1t was
the fine new play then that drew the
crowd-not the fine new actress.
But all this is changed now. The
glorifying of one actor to the degree Of
making "star" Of him the personal
magnetism" element and the attention
given to the matter Of dry goods, have
all tended to make most dramatic shows
nothing more than the exhibition Of the
gifts of one actor or actress. The charm
of that one person is the thing relied on.
The plays Of such are fitted TO them on
the same principle that their clothes are
= to set off their natural graces.
Whether the play itself is fine literary
work is matter of small consequence.
The result Of this sort Of thing has
been that the number Of plays popularity
given has become constantly smaller
and smaller. 1t has come to be known
that certain dramas are best Of al
adapted to the display Of pleasing eiocu
ton, personal beauty, and fine dresses
These, then, are the ones to be chosen
. and they are given over and over in tn

JUDGE BELFoRD, Representative ia
Congress from Colorado, has had an ill.,
tervew with the President in regard to
the persecution of Jews in Russia. The
Judge showed that the atrocities prac-
ticed on jews in Russia has taken the
form of destruction of property by
plumber and fire, injury to person, mur-
derous assaults, outrnges on mothers,
wives, ond daughters, and deliberate
murder. As nearly us the results of
these atrocities can be ascertained
and stated in figures, it appears ovel
two hunered women have been violated,
sixty men were killed. seventy wounded,
twenty thousand rendered homeless, and
about S75, 100000 worth of property
stolen and wrecked. Judge Beltord
reminded the President thatinterventlon
in such cause had been practiced b..
civilized nations the past two centuries
| He cited number of cases where inter-
vention had occurred in late wars,
among them being that of Russia Oh
behalf of persecuted Christians ii
Turkey. The intervention of Russia il
behalf of Greek Christians in Turkisl
Dominions was an avowed justification
for undertaking the Crimean war, ant
again in 1877 the intervention of Russi'
in behalf of Christian subjects of til,
Sultan was the single pretext for TIT
Russo Turkish war. In reply to Judg
Belford, the President said he felt deepl,
interested in the case of the persecute,
Hebrews, and was determined to d
everything that could be done wit
propriety to induce the Russian Govern
ment to extend the fullest po>ection

woman's suffrage association. held at
Omaha on the 18th inst, was largely at
tended. Reports of work were made by
sixteen state societies. Letters were
received from Gen. William Curtis, Julia
Ward Howe, Mrs. Mary A. Livermore,
Gov. st. John of Kansas and Chancellor
Elliott Of the Washington university,
Missouri. Sixty-eight delegates were
present from twelve states and territor-
les. Gov. John w. Hoyt and Judge
Kingman, Of Wyoming territory, ad.
dressed the convention and claimed that
an experience Of thirteen years Of wo.
man suffrage in their territory was an
unqualified success, and that it had
proved 90 beneficial that all parties were
now united in its support. It was voted
to make an active campaign in Nebraska
the coming six weeks for the passage of
the woman suffrage constitutional
amendment, which will be voted on in
this state next November.
