The political chaldron is begin

sas, and is likely to produce little
besides sftoil and trouble" The
Democratic party, IL Is learned, is
hopelessly split upon the bond
question. General B. ID. Williams
is talked of as a compromise candi-
date, but it is very doubtful If even
that much wisdom prevails. Gen
eral Williams Is conservative
amendment man, has served sever
al terms i'm the Legislature, and
would make an excellentexecutive.
General Churchill is also mentioned
as an amendment candidate, but

Length of Life of Worker Bees.

a correspondent in an exchange
gives the following on this subject
| thought | would satisfy myself in
regard to the life of the bee in the
height of the working season. ] had
a colony of the little black bees, and
on the morning of May Sd l killed the
queen, and by carefully looking their
hive | found one black drone and de-
stroyed that in the evening of the same
day. | put ii cell for yellow queen
on the ID of June. She has Matched
out and there were few yellow bees
in the hive on the 30th, Just 81 days
from the time the eggs were deposited.
On the 9TH OF July few yellow bees
were to be seen playing around the
hive, and ON the 13th.of July, just 1t
days from the time the yellow bees
were Matched out, few were seen az
work with the black bees. Now any
one can see that if the yellow bees
Matched in 81 days the last black bees
were all out by the 30th of June, and
If the yellow bees went to work on the
18th of July, the last of the black bees
must have gone to work on the 4th of

longer at other seasons Of the year,
and thought this would be a good
chance to test in the height Of the

From the above i. will be seen that the
lifetime of a honey bee, in the busiest
working season, is but four weeks or
IS days.

Are Women Better Dressed Than Men
Science and Speculation.

One of the signs Of advanced civiliz-
alton is discomfort IN dress; the further
any nation advances in civilization, the
more she TEXTURES her subjects; and,
strangely enough, this jnhiction gener-
ally falls upon the 80. called upper
class. The educated class the mem
bers of the liberal professions, the den
liens of the city, the merchants and his
clerks, suffer more than the poor labor
ers from heat, if not from cold. AS be-
tween the sexes, there is little difference
in this respect. Civilization even ex-
tends its cruel hand over the babe in its
cradle, and would aiflict the dead if they
had any feelings left
Science has investigated the absorb
ent and radient power of different tibers
and different colors, but man, in his
wisdom, disregards this, and prefers the
worse instead of the best. Women
may expose their brain to the rays of
the sun by wearing a small, useless
bonnet, but fashion compels her to
carry II parasol to compensate for 1t.
On the other hand, fashion, not so
cruel rs she is painted, is equally in
favor of large hats with useful brims
Not so with men. Broad brims are
tabooed, and parasols are not permits
slbe. With regard to the neck, man
has no choice; collar he must wear,
and one fitting close to the neck and
reinforced by a cravat or tie. To wom-
en- alone is granted the comfort of low
neckcd, half-low, heart-shaped, or loose
fitting collars. The body, or trunk, is
no better off. Man must wear stiff
white shirt, vest and lined and pad
ded coat. Women need wear but one
(visible) garment, which may be made
as light and thin rs is possible without
being transparent. 1t is even doubt
full whether the tightly drawn corset,
that object of universal use which is so
violently denounced by the opposite sex
causes more discomfort than the num-
erous artica,s with which man surround
himself, for psychologists have learned
than woman can breathe with the upper
part of her lungs (thoracic breathing)
and therefore suffers less from tight
| lacing than man. As regards the arm,
matters are pretty evenly balanced,
with the odds in favor of woman, who
may shorten her sleeves as much as
| she pleases, and in no case wears more
than one long sleeved garment where a
man wears three. Cuffs she can dispense
! with, but he can not Her sleeves need
not he lined; his must, unless of very
thick material.

DUEL OF A CAT AND A SNAKE,
Pussy Victorious After Developing n
Neat hit OF Strategy.
New York Sun.

/
Garter snakes abound in fremont. A
gentleman who recently took house
near One Hundred and Seventy Eight
street and Third avenue said yesterday
to reporter; con Wednesday morning
as was dressing myself | looked out
of the window and saw the cat acting
oddly. She was springing from side to
side, and evidently trying at times to
avoid something, and then to seize it.
hurried into the garden, and found the
cat engaged in a fight with a garter
snake. The reptile was so intent in
keeping its enemy before it, its only
hope for life, that it did not see me; but
the cat noticed my approach, though
she lost none Of her vigilance in doing
so. She is SMALL animal, capital
mouser, but certainly inexperienced as
a snake killer. She seemed at first to
be little frightened, but seeing me she
gained courage, and her attacks on the
snake became tiercer and more fire.
quent.
at was like sparring match. Every
effort of the cat to seize the snake was
foiled by the rapid movements of the
reptile, which repeatedly struck fiercely
at Its assailant, beating her back, but
apparently not injuring her. Finally
the cat adopted curious tactics. She
walked round and round the snake,
forcing the latter, with its head raised
high above the grass, to twist in one
direction in order to face her, until It's
body assumed a spiral form. OF course
it could not continue this movement
indefinitely, and when it conld go no
further. and the cat still moved around
it, the reptile, with lightning-like
rapidity, twiried the other way. For
the iniinitesimal part of q second its
eyes were not turned towards its enemy;
but it was enough. The cat had been
watching for the opportunity thus
offered, and, quick as was TIE snakes
movement, her own was quicker. Be.
fore it could face her she had seized it
about four inches below the head. In
vain the snake writhed and coied
around her. 1t could not shake of the
cruel hold, which was only reEuquished
when the reptiles head was entirely
severed from its body.
"The cat then made an attempt to
feed upon her victims hosh, but, APP
parently not liking the meal, turned
and walked away. examined her, but,
rs far as | could see, the snakes teeth
had not penetrated her fur. The snake
was Il little more than three feet
long"

The Cars Protectors,

There are now two secret societies at
st. Petersburg, established for the pro-
lection OF the emperor against the nj
hilists. One is called "The Holy
League" the other "The Volunteer
Guard" The leader of the Holy
League, whose aim is simply to pre-
vent attempts upon the emperor's life,
is M. Pobedonoschef. The Volunteer
Guard on the other hand, which is led
by Count Woroutzof- Daschkoff, has
formed itselfinto n political party, and
strives to influence the general policy
of the empire. The following are the
principal points of It's programme l.
The transfer of the financial and po-
litical administration, with the excep-
ton of all matters relating to the SUI
preme court Of justice, and the po-
ltcal police, to the provincial assem-
blies, and free election of the local as
semblies. 2. The raising, collection
and expenditure Of all indirect taxes
to be also transferred to the provincial
assemblies and free election of the
local assemblies. 8. The assessment
of these taxes according to the amount
Of the taxpayers property. 4. The
exemption of the communes from the
payment of emancipation fees in re-
spect of uncultivated land, and the
grant of land TO such communes as are
unable to provide for their mainten-
ance out of the produce OF their exist
ing holdings and, 5. The convocation

FreenaSOnS.

Down to the reign of our English
Anne, and the latter years of the long
sway of Louis XIV, it may be safely
averred that no apprehension had been
excited and no persecution incurred by
any Society not distinctly founded for
a religious purpose, Anabaptists had
been put down with cruel severity.
Quakers had been torn ented or toler-
ated according to the caprice of Prince
and people. But in the writings of the
eighteenth century We first find men
ton of Freemasonary, and then, too,
do the bulls of Vatican first begin to
illuminate against an association hor.
rible in the eyes OF the ever watChiul
InQuisition. Howsoever ancient and
illustrious Freemasonry may be, it was
undoubtedly regarded with worse than
suspicion by the Roman Curio, the
ioly Brotherhood of Spain, and the
Arguseyed Police of Paris. 1t was not
rs rogue of worldwide renown, but
as a suspected Freemason, that Cagl-
ostro, the arch-imposter, was imprison-
ed in the Castle of st. Angelo, where
he died, like Gagged bird plning for
air and light, just as the Army of the
French Republicans rescuers-
marched on Rome. We have lived to
see royal and imperial Princes openly

SPEAK WELL OF EACH OTHER

Things of greatest moment often
Start from tfihes light az air,
And thus many guiltless bangs
Have been hunted to despair
By the vsnomed voice Of gossip which throw'
poison everywhere.
Sometimes in our own home circle
Words are spoken thoughtessly,
Pointing with a shade OF reason
Toward friends integrity
Those few words may gather others TIL scau-
dsl vast we see.
Sometimes too vague hints may wasen .s
Doubts and tears within the soul
Hints concerning trivial action
Deep suspicious may unrol
Plungiug some loved ones in troue ole which no
efforts can control.
Yet she may be pure and guilelsss,
Free from every thought Of i'll
But from that hint, so idly spoken,
Gratis its deadly poison still;
Such light words of gossip started can with
griei young heart fill.
Every one is prone to falter,
Clouds on every heart may fall
Some grope onward led by folly,
Some respond TO dutys call;
Our friends case We cannot fathom, SO We
SHOULD never JuuBc ~ "h'
Speak not i'll Of friend or lover,
They may prove true IN the end
Best be blind 90 little failings,
And star.d ready to defend
Always striving to scoyer some new virtue IN
orr friend.
Burdened by some foul injustice,
Stuug BY sghts that seldom fail
Innocence il often wounded
By suspicious fInsy veil;
Aud that veil each day grows thicker Through
the scandalloyers tale.
Then beware Of passing gossip;
Light ms is the snowhlkes' fall
1t will gather in its passage
Till the drift is huge and tall.
So when speaking Of neighbor say good
things or none at all.
