The intellect that directs the bee line

y
In Life. under the caption Of .ssHow to
Handle Bees" says a bee is not a very
difficult thing to handle. He is as easily
picked up as strawberry, is reasonably
light and compressible. To handle him
is, therefore, a mere song. Any man
can do it. In fact the more ignorant of
bees man is the more easily he can
handle one. The main difficulty seems
to be in quieting the man down after he
has handled a small, but frolicsome bee.
There have been men known to race
around 10 acre lot, and eventually lose
their salvation, after handling one bee
for the tenth part Of a second. What
the country really needs is an article on
how to avoid handling bees"

Secretary I.incolu's Jolly Coy.

Washington navy yard, where he spends
most of his time, he is universally call
edJack. He is a jolly, sturdy. little
fellow, who makes friends as easily as
his grandfather did, and very much
more easily than his father,
and he is aswell known in the navy
yards as the bell that tolls the hour.
Just at present Jack Lincoln is devot-
ing himself to the United States
steamer Dispatch. He goes at it
shrewdly. He does not waste time on
the officers, although he is q great
favorite among them, but is concen-
trating his attentions on the crew
He has won all their hearts already

have even Clipped in and bought him,

labeled GUS. S. Dispatch" down TO the
bottom of his regulation shoes, he is q
perfect picture Of Gilbert's jolly midship-
mite. The other day the Tallapoosa was
preparing to take his father. Secretary

The Sign-Language.

The following letter reached me too late

paper in the State of the Goth of May
]. W. MICHAELs.
NATIONAL DEAF-MUT COLLEGE, }
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 29th, 1884.
Dear Mr.. MichGe1s:: Yours of the 22nd,
with copy of the State came during my
absence at the Warm Springs.
| have no remembrance of ever having
given expression to the sentiments attribu-
ted to me by Mr.. Poyntz, and l do not be-
lieve any letter OF mine can be produced,
the wording Of which will tear the con-
ssruction he declares is warranted.
My opinion is firm that no man can be
regarded as truly qualified to take charge
of a school for deaf-mutes, who is not ca
pable of conversing freely in the language
of signs, and using that language in public
addresses.
AS to the value of the sign language in
the instruction of the deaf, my opinions
are too well known to need repetition.
Signs cannot be abolished from. ana
school for the deaf, not even from a 'tPure
Oral SCHOOL, and if they could, they
ought not to be.
am in favor of teaching speech to all
who are capable of acquiring it; and am
convinced that it cannot be acquired in a
satisfactory manner by more than about 30
per cent. of the whole body Of deaf-mutes.
Very sincerely yours,

A SNAKES WEAPoN.-While hunting In
Brazil Spanish gentleman came &C ross
snake sixty feet long. 1t had just finished
eating deer, but had not been able to swal-
low the horns, and they were still sticking
out of the snakes mouth. The gentleman
said it was common thing in South Ameri-
ca for snakes to eat deer, and when the
antlers refused to go down into the stomach,
the snakes would 60 and lie in the run and
let the acids from their stomach work on the
horns and dissolve them. This monster
snake was very likely performing this act
when the hunting party came on him. They
advanced cautiously and were about to fire,
when the snake sprang forward and struck
the guide in the breast with the stag's horns
and crushed him into jelly. Before the
snake could repeat this playful little pas
time, bullet from one of the guns of the
party killed him. He was coiled up and
carried by the party to the nearest town
and shipped to Rio, where he is still on ex-
hibition. Hhe antlers are yet in his mouth.
-Eachange.
Il is now in order for the Greenbrier In
dependent, the champion snake-story -
narrator, to be heard. There are more won
derful snakes in West Virginia than in
Brazil, as will be fully established when the
Independent shall give its testimony.

just now with regard to the Nomination.
Everything is going well enough for him.
All the delegations are being instructed for
him. Some ask, why doesn't he declare
himself !? Well, now, if he should do that
1t might provoke opposition, but, as it is,
nobody antagonizes him. He is satisfied,
no doubt to let well enough alone"
"You think, then, he will consent to
run? asked the reporter
"That is my belief from the lights before
me. All the delegates to the New York
State convention are being instructed for
him. Some counties give instructions for
Flower, but all of them say. Tiden first. He
will run and be elected, and more than that,
he will live to serve out his term. Unless
something occurs between now and the
meeting of the convention to impair his
health, there can be no objection to him on
that score. Washington Star.

CAMPAIGN HUMBUG.-As the Sherman
committee to investigate the Danville riot
and the alleged Copiah county outrages was
appointed for the express purpose of manu-
featuring new material for bloody shirt
campaign, it is not surprising that the re-
port prepared by Senator Lapham ignoring
the facts brought out in the testimony OF
unimpeachable witnesses, in both instances,
finds that evidence was premeditated' and
brought about in ''the contamination of a
deliberate purpose for which the democrats
had fully prepared" Nothing could be
further from the truth, IS the writer of the
report well knew. A sense Of the character
for dignity and truthfulness which their of
flee imposes on Lapham, Sherman, Hoar
and Cameron should have prevented them
from engaging in the work Of the petty
manufacturer of campaign lies, to be main
tanned hotly until election day is over and
then abandoned with copious "regrets" for
the wrong done in maligning an entire State
or section. The recommendation made in
the report that the representation in Con-
gress of Virginia and Mississippi should be
abridged is, of course, only an empty threat
designed to excite the public and divert it
from the tariff and other business issues
