CHOICE FAMILY HISTORY.

Some time ago it viii be remembered
that Mrs. Wesley Reddig of this city was
sent up for six months for SANDER or some
thing of that nature, and that last week
Wednesday her husband received dose in
the circuit court of eighteen months at
Joliet for stealing silver napkin rings, etc,
from Major Connelly's house. IL seems
that this iil-starred couple had previously
adopted child about twenty months old,
and after the foster fathers trip to Joliet,
it was put in charge of a family to the
police unknown. This morning a lad
made hasty visit to the store of Mr..
Cook. overseer of the poor, threw bun
die of clothing into the store and deposit
ing the baby in the doorway ran away as
if he were sent for. Subsequently Officer
bunker took the little waif out to the poor
farm where it will be quite as well off as
with the Reddig family.

How Long Bees Live.

I thought l would satisfy myself in
regard to the life of the bee in the height
of the working season. had a stand
of little black bees of the genuine sting.
ers, aud on the morning of Nav 80 I
killed the queen, and by carefully look
ing through their hive | found one black
drone and destroyed that in the evening
of the same day. put in cell for
yellow queen on the second of June
She was Matched out, and there were
few yellow bees in the hive on the 30th,
in just twenty-one days from the time
the eggs were deposited. On July Z,
few yellow bees were to be seen playing
around the hive, and on the thirteenth
day of July, just fourteen days from the
time the yellow bees were Matched out,
few were seen at work with the black
bees. Now any one can see that if the
yellow bees Matched in twenty-one days,
the last black bees were all out by the
thirtieth of June. and if the yellow bees
went to work on the twelfth of July,
the last of the black bees must have
gone to work on the fourth of July
making fourteen days from the time
they were Matched, unless one will 60
to work sooner than the other. This
stand contained nothing but black bees
when the black queen was destroyed on
the eighteenth of July, just forty-nine
days from the time the black queen was
destroyed; there was not black bee TO
be seen about the hive. | opened it
Not one was to be seen inside Now
know that bees will live longer at any
other season of the year. and thought
this would be good chance TO test the
height of the working season. The
hive was examined every day during
the whole time, so that no mistake
might be made. From this it will be
seen that the lifetime of a honey-bee, IN
the busiest working season, is but four
weeks or twenty-eight days

THE WITHERED JERSEY
LILY

The intelligence reaches us
from New York that the Jersey
Lily has made a miserable fail
ure in "Rosalind," Her face
and figure, backed up by heavy
advertising, tided her over one
of Tom Taylor's mediocre come
dies, but it takes genius and
brains to play Shakespeare, and
Mrs. Langtry has neither. Still
more lamentable is the fact that
the legs of the Lily, or more
properly speaking the stems it
stalks about on, do not come up
to the standard of development
required by the exacting New
Workers. Her ankle is too long
and slim and her calf too knotty
for the beautiful and the true.
A woman with an artistIcally
developed leg can do well in
America even if she is handi-
capped with deficiencies of the
head and heart. 1t was salso
noticeable to the Gothamites that
she only displayed it to the
knee-;l new departure in Rosa
which is clear acknoWl-
edgment that she has no conf
dence in the balance of the de-
velopment. We opine that the
anatomy-loving people of the
Great West will treat Mrs.
Langtry with great GOODNESS if
she comes out here and attempts
to palm off on their hakespear-
ian minds a Rosalind who
wears tunic reaching to the
knee. Any departure from his
torical accuracy in matters of
costume is quickly detected in
this scholastic section Of the
world and deservedly rebuked.

a Rich Strike In Paradise.

A rich strike in the Bullion
mine in Paradise is reported. A
twelve-foot vein of quartz has
been found near the left Wall of
the lead, six feet of which as
says from $500 to $1,000 to the
ton in silver. 1t is the largest
vein yet found at any consider
able depth in the district, and
the ore is as rich as any ever
before found in any of the Para
disc mines. J. l.. Hewett has
visited the mine and tells the
Sitter State that 1t is sight
worth seeing. The whole face
of the drift is in ore which
sparkles like diamonds in the
candle light. The extent Of the
ore body is not yet known, but
there is sufficient ore in sight to
run the mill for months.

GRANTS VINDICATlON or
POR TER.

The last number of the North
American RecieU contains an
article from U. S. Grant,
i'm which he exonerates Porter
from the charges made against
him for disobedience of orders
at what is called the second
battle of Bulls Run. Porter was
court-marshaled mainly for not
marching to certain point des-
ignated in an order end for
not attacking Jackson on his
right flank. Grant states that
when Porter received the order
it was midnight, his men COM
pletely exhausted and the rou'e
he was ordered to travel was
impossible by reason of mud
and stumps of trees and also
choked with ambulance wagons.
He was ordered to march an
exhausted army over a bad
road in a space of time which
could not have beenaccomplished
by single horseman. AS re-
CARDS the attack on JacksOn's
flank, it could only have been
accomplished by a military mir
acle. Porter had but 10000
men, and to reach JacksOn's
right wing he first would have
been required to have whipped
Longstreet, entrenched with
strong position with $4,000
men. In the cOurt-martial
which convicted Porter the po-
sition of Longstreet's army was
ignored entirely. For twenty
years Porter has been waiting for
his vindication, and himself
and family resting un-
der a cloud. Grant acknowl-
edges that he himself was mis-
led as to the facts of the case up
to within year past and has
the manliness to acknowledge
it. Congress should take inn
mediate steps to reinstate Por-
ter and make all the reparation
possible for the wrongs Porter
suffered in being made scape-
goat for the military short COM
irgs of others.

THE NEEDS OF ENGLISH
AKISTOCRACN.

English society has been
dreadfully scandalized recently
by the marriage of Lady Ger
trude Douglass, somewhat
wilted weed of English aris-
tocracy, to young broker. The
Record Union in discussing the
matter from a common sense
standpoint remarks that "the
alliance with the broker may re-
suit in infusing new genius and
energy into the Douglass fam
ily." This is a good point. The
ar;stocracy Of England is fast be-
coming enervated physically and
mentally by Incidence and de-
hatchery, and the time is not
far distant when the blood of
butchers, bakers, candlestick
makers and tradespeople will be
an absolute necessity among the
aris.ocracy to keep the feeble
race on its aristocratic pins. In
England a man perfect in physi-
cal and intellectual strength, who
works for his living or sells
goods to support his family, is
of very little account /; but the
holiow-chested, bandy-legged,
weak-eyed, scrofulous scion Of a
noble house, with the brains of
"a poodle dog and the heart of a
sheep, who depends upon his
ancestral wealth for his grub,
is a person to be treated with
the greatest respect. When
these fellows travel abroad for
their health they come to
America, dead beat their way
over the country, borrow money,
forge notes, and when landed in
Jail, wiring their lily hands and
weep, not for the men they have
defrauded, but at the dreadful
idea of the fly speck which they
have placed upon the "untar-
nished escutcheon.o 1t is not
surprising that the women of
England seek alliances with the
so-called lower classes rather
than be mated to the dwadling
