SHIPrISG QUELNs.-It will be remember.
ed that the shipping Of queen bees by mail
was prohibited by the postal authorities
until two years ago, when it was allowed to
the great advantage Of bee keepers. Thou,-
ands Of quceps are now yearly sent by mail,
and at yory small cost A Queen may be
sent from Maine to California for two cents.
In granting The request, two conditions were
required. First, the fovd must be candy, or
some substance that could not possibly soil
the mail, and second, tho cages should be
So made that no mail agent could DO stunr.
The last requisite is easily y met n the double
faced cages now universally used. The
former was found moro difficult Candy is
so dry that, If the bees are ssnt far, thov
are very apt to die Small tin vials of
water have been added, with very small
hole from which The bees can Sin. This
did not violate the spirit Of the law, as there
were but few drops Of water in the vial,
and this could not leak out Of the small
hole. But this method was not wholly sat
isIactofy. Too often the queens died, il
sent long distances. Within tho last wear
a food has been mado that is every way
satisfactory. Granulated sugar is covered
with extracted honey and, after draining
for two days, the sugar is picked into hole
in the cage, This does not soil the bees, Is
moist, and serves for the bees for many
days, SO that often, after leng journey by
mail, there will not be single worker bee
dead in the cage.
THE SURPLUS HuNEY.-Lot all remember
to keep their honey, whether extracted or
comb, in dry warm room 1t is best to
keep the extracted honey in open vessels
and if to be shipped, in barrels or kegs
these latter should be coated inside with
Para6ne, or beeswaX. Let no one be in q
hurry to sell his honey. It should be thor
oughly graded before it is sent to market.
No pains should be spared to have the hon
ey look neat, which will largely increase
the price it will bring. In some parts OF
The country, the crop has been very good
in many others it is total failure. 1t is Ia
be expected that good prices will prevail

A MYSTERY!
Trying 10 Work Up a Mystery
Out Of Gen. Buffers Graft.

Halifax, l6.-The recent purchase
of the schooner Conquest, about 20
years old, by General Butler. of
Boston, has caused much comment
and many surmiseS are made rel
alive to the object of the owner.
The vessel sailed Yesterday. The
Chronicle says: AS her clearance
states, the ship is bound for Port
BTocket, said to be in Mad
agascar. II is a long voyage
for so small a vessel, and
the secrecy with which the
whole enterprise has been gotten
up makes it seem improbable
that that port is her
destination. AS far as we can
learn, it appears inquiries for British
bottom Of suitable dimensions have
been made for some time past by
Captain F. Farr, of Gloucester, a
gentleman well-knOwn for the
prominent part he took
in the late war of our
southern neighbors. Failing to find
a suitable vessel flying the British
flag on American waters, CAPTAIN
Farr dispatched an agent to Canada,
wh-re atlast, in Halifax, the re-
quired article was found. The
schooner Conquest. a gloomy, black
looking craft, with extraordinary
high bulWarks for vessel OF her
size, and well fitted to hide the
small guns with which our observa-
tions led us to believe she is to be
mounted. Captain Farr, who has
been here the past two weeks, has
superintendSd the alterations that
have been made in the vessel to suit
her for the peculiar trip, whatever it
may prove to be. Large quantities
Of stores, sufficient for thirty or forty
men for nine months, were en-
barked on the Conquest, notwith-
standing the fact that only two boys,
besides the captain and mate sailed
in her from this port. The departure
of some twenty sea faring men
to the eastward by land conveyance
within a few days, lead to the i'm
preston that the Madagascar bound
vessel is not going to sea light
handed Added to what we have
said, the fact that arms and ammu-
milton were carried by last Boston
steamer consigned to the protector
of the enterprise, the feeling is that
Capt. Farr, either for himself, or
more probably for General Butler, is
engaged in an undertaking that will
bear watching, and the outcome of
which may be looked forward to
with some interest.

set it on fire and rode away. About
midnight they arrived at the farm
