MR.. WHITMARSH'S BEE EXPE-
RIENCE,
And the Reason ne can Now Tell a
Bee from a Yellow Jacket.

Bee from a Yellow Jacket.
Mr.. Whitmarsh lately took it into
his head to go into the bee business,
and came up to his Madison parish
plantation to get the business start
ed. He brought two dozen patent
hives with him, thinking they
would be enough for a beginning,
and started a number Of darkies into
the woods to capture bees. His
idea was to experiment with wild
bees first, and when he got on suffi-
GENTLY intimate terms with them
toinquire into their domestic hab-
its and learn their ways, to get some
first-class bees and open a large
bee rancho.
A short time ago some of his bee
hunters announced the finding of
some bee trees. The hives were
placed in position and the bees cap
tured and placed in the hives much
TO Whitmarsh's satisfaction; and
he walked around in the neighbor-
hood of the hives and inspected the
bees at safe distance. He thought
he noticed difference in the bees,
some of them varying slightly in
color from the others. a close
watch on the bees convinced him of
the existence of a variety of
bees, and he began to picture
himself as the discoverer of new
order of bee. He took to the woods
himself to hunt for bees and
took note of all the insects that he
saw anywhere near the size ola bee.
Sitting on an old levee he OBJ
served very small and handsome
bee that was adorned with yellow
stripes, and keeping his eye OH il
he saw it crawl into hole in the
ground few feet from where he was
sitting. He at once determined to
keep the secret he had discovered
and come at night to the place
alone, and secure this new and
beautiful kind of bees. He, there.
fore, carefully marked the place
and returned home, where he made
preparations for his intended ex.
petition. A few hours after dark
he took one ofhis patent hives and
a spade, and proceeded to the place
where he had located his bees
Stuffing apiece of cotton saturated
with chloroform into the hole, hi
went to work with his spade, anC
shortly had the bees transferred t.
the hive which he securely fas
tened.
On his arrival at home he place.
the hive in position, and to avoit
any risk he left it fastened all night
In the. morning after breakfast, h
put some sugar-water in sauce
and set it in front of the hive TO
the bees to see when they first cam
out, and knowing they would b
angry at finding themselves fasten
ed up he took a look to see that al
was clear. Then opening the doc
of the hive he turned and fed to
wards the house. He made goo,
time, but not good enough, for thos
yellow striped bees caught him be
fore he had made three steps, an,
while fifty yards from the from
door.

AS BIG AS A MANS HAND

Is the ClOUu nov IpDiiIiiiS w Sii
the political horizon, and OF
that particular shape also, but a
mans hand cannot carry this cleo
ton. The index finger so ready
in the past, will have to be idle
now. In short bulldozing and in
timidatior are played out. This
is not that kind Of cat and the
gentlemen disposed to indulge III
such playful ccccntricitics, might
lust as well understand now, as
later, that they will have to an
swcr for them. This is no time to
resort to such measures, and be-
sides, they will not win.
A failure to succeed in such pro-
ccedings is disastrous in the eX-
treme to those who fail, and failure
is, in this parish, a foregone con-
clusion. The TINES has been in
formed that these methods have
been attempted III several In
stances with Indifferent success,
and if such is the case, now is a
safe time to call halt. y "free
vote and fair count" does not har-
monize with intimidation, and
when both yelps come from the
same source it is rather confusing.
The most blatant scrccchcrs OF a
"frcc vote. etc." are to be found
among the kickers, and now from
the same crowd cmcrges the intim-
idater.
The regulars have never enter
tanned any thought Of anything b Ut
a free vote and a fair count, that is
their best hold and they, therefore,
did not see the necessity of shout
ing themselves hoarse about 1t,
but the Lucas Crandcll party think
no story too stupid to circulate and
they started that; but the intimi-
dation business so supremely fool
ish, that it was thought il would
not he attempted. Yet it appears
to have been tried. Perhaps the
indiscreet remarks of some Of the
specially weak headed of the Lu
cas- randell party have been the
cause of these attempts, and it wa:
thought ample backing would be
on hand to support them. That
belief has probably been dissipateC
by this time, and the matter vii
end.
1t can be safely taken to hear
that intimidation went do. 1t vii
be a bad move, and be attended
with considerable hereafter. Ar,
they so badly used up that the,
have to resort to such extreme
measures? Can it be that they arr
falling to pieces? Where are tn
hitherto stiff upper lips, the Grove
supported by the people of Madi
son? Alas! they are slowly dissolv
ing into thin air, and disappearing
one by one in the combinations
they so assiduously sought. An
so they go, one here, another there
a house divided against itself, un
til of that once jaunty and wind
party, there remains nothing. The
have made poor fight and hav
nothing to be proud of. Not sin
