Seymour Speaks.

New YORK, March 27.-The Null and
Express has an interview with Governor

ton. He expressed the opinion that a
longer continuance of the protective tariff
may provoke retaliatory. legislation on the
part of England and other European
nations.
AS to presidential candidates, he e1-
pressed the opinion that the nomination

The following questions and answers give
the gist of the interview in this respect:
And you do not believe Tilden too.
feeble to perform the duties of presi-
dent?"
"Well, they say he can't talk now; that
is a positive advantage. No man was
ever yet hurt by what he didn't say, and
l say that without the least hesitation.
What we want in the presidential chair
are men who think more and talk less. A
man should have his tongue cut off when
he enters the white house as president.

The Kind of Man Wanted.

Jack Williams was brave sergeant OF
a regiment which undrilled and undisci-
pined, had joined the army of the Poto-
mac just as the terrible campaign of 1864
begun. Before the army reacht d Peters
burg, Jack commanded his company, the
captains and lieutenants having been
killed. His gallantry was 50 conspicuous
that he was recommended for CaptainCy
in the regular army. Ordered before an
examining board at Washington, Jack pre-
sented himself, dressed in soiled, torn
uniform, with bronzed face and uncut
beard The trim, dapper officers COM
posing the board had never been under
fire or roughed it in the field, but were
posted in tactics and in the theory of war
Though shocked at Jacks unsOldierly ap-
pearance, they asked him all sorts of
questions about engineering mathematics,
ordinance and campaigns. Not a single
question could Jack answer.

board

The Sting of the Bee,

II we press the abdomen of q bee or
wasp, so as to cause the sting to protrude
we should naturally think that the sharp,
dark -colored instrument was the sting
itself. This, however, IS not the case
The real sting is a very slender instru-
ment, nearly transparent, keenly pointed,
and armed on one edge with row of
barbs. So exactly does the sting resent
BILE the many barb arrow of certain saw
age tribes that, if the savages had pos
sessed microscopes, we should certainly
have thought that they borrowed the idea
of the barb from the insect, What we
see with the unaidcd eye is simply the
sheath of the sting Many savages poi
son their spears and arrows. and here
also they have been anticipated by the
insect But the sting Is infinitely supe-
rior to the arrow poison. Noroison that
has yet been made, not even the terrible
wourali, or curare, rs it is sometimes
called, can retain its strength after long
exposure to air.
The upas poison of Borneo, for exam
pie, loses its potency IL two or three
hours. But the venom of the sting is
never eApOSeu IO Tic itlI dL all IL Is
secreted by two long, thread-like glands,
not nearly so thick as human hair, and
is then received into a little bag at the
base of the sting. When the insect uses
its weapon it contracts the abdomen,
thereby forcing the sting out and com
pressing the venom-bag. By the force of
the stroke which drives the sting into the
Zoe its base is pressed against the venom
bag and small amount of the poison
driven into the wound As rule, if the
bee or wasp be allowed to remain quiet,
it will withdraw its sting, but as
the pain generally causes Il sudden jerk,
the barbed weapun cannot be withdrawn.
md the whole apparatus of sting. poison
Gag and glands is torn out of the insect,
thereby causing its death.

Hurry and Worry.

The New York Tribune speaks of the
increase of rapidity in the passage made
Ivy steamships across the ocean. Every
year sees the number of days it takes for
the voyage diminishing just in the same
way as the time for the trip across the
continent from one shore to the other
lessons. This quick passage is COnsid-
cred most desirable thing, something
to be reiOiced over, and no doubt as new
discoveries are made in science greater
velocity will be attained, until the maxi
mum strain which wood and iron and
steel will bear is reached. There is one
great drawback 10 this prospect. Time
was when travel was ieisurely sort Of
affair that gave chance for some sort of
rest and release from care, but that has
al passed away. An ever prevailing
restlessness is the companion of most
travellers, no matter whether their object
is business or pleasure. II the cars or
boat do not pass over so much space in
given time he is unhappy. Nothing can
compensate for this lack. The most
beautiful scenery does not reward him
for slow passage. lie wants to 'do
so much country, SO many places in
given time, and whatever interferes with
that destroys his pleasure utterly.
This hurry extends into everything. 1t
is vice of the times, and will do much
to destroy the health and vigor of the
American people. 1t has been said, and
statistics show that the average of life is
longer now than quarter of century
ago, and it has been thought, and no
doubt with truth, that it was in conse-
quence of improved sanitary conditions,
the greater knowledge possessed of the
mechanism of the human body and its
needs to keepit in good running order.
Much of the improvement will, however,
be speedily done away with, if the rush
and nervous exhaustion produced in
crease as rapidly for the next decade as
it has during the last. 1t would be well
for press and pulpit to preach modera
tion in all things, to try to impress upon
the people the truth that little is better
than much. if the latter is to be gained
by the sacrifice of physical health and
intellectual vigor, and that is the certain
result of the push ,nd turmoil that
