A New Discovery.

The popular impressions concerning
the bee must be revised. It had long
been praised for its industry and So
briefly, BUTT has recently been learned
that in these respects the bee is fraud
AS matter of downright, cold fact.
1.-The little busy bee" works about 8
hours a day, and is the most thorough
going-loafer the rest of the time. It's
reputation for sobriety is little de-
served. Its propensity for the bowl
has become a source of grievance for
beekeepers. Wherever hives are kept
in the neighborhood of a cider mill
the bees always neglect work, go off
and get full, stay out nights, and get
boisterous and disorderIy. So addict
ed are they to cider that in some parts
of the east beekeepers are said TO have
asked cider-1nakers to fence in their
mills with fine wire netting.

Death Of Alfonso.
King Alfonso Expired at Madrid
of Consumption
CONSUMPTION CAUSES THE KING s
DEATH

CONSUMPTION CAUSES THE KINGS
LONDON, Nov. 25, "A des-
patch has just been received by the
foreign office from Madrid, stating
that King Alfonso died at o'clock
this morning of consumption acceler-
ated by dysentary.
King Alfonso XII, who was the
reigning sovereign of Spain at the
time Of his death, was 8 son Of ex-
Queen Isabella Ii, and was born Nov.
%, 1857, thus lacking only four days
of being % years old. He was pro
claimed king Dec. 80. 1874, The king
was twice married. The first time on
Jan. %, 1878, to Mariede-ias-M ecedes,
daughter of the Due de Montpensier,
and the second time on Nov, 90, 1879,
to Maria Christian, daughter of arch
duke Charles Ferdinand of Austria.
He has two daughters by the second
marriage. King Alfonso succeeded
in his reign Emilio CASTELAR,. who
was elected president of the cortes
onsAugust 25th, 1878, and Emilio
CASTELAR, succeeded King Amadeus I,
who abdicated the throne on Feb. II,
1879, whereupon Spain became a re
public. When Alfonso XII took the
throne, Spain again became king
dom.
AS TO SUCCESSION.
In connection with succession, the
situation is perhaps best expressed By
the recent utterance Of the leading
revolutionist, Zsrrilla, VINO prophesied
that King Alfonso's illness would,
without doubt, soon terminate fatally,
and then there would be trouble in
Spain, for the helress TO the throne is
child in the nursery, and the Queen
mother, who by law will be the Re
gent during the minority, is stranger
an Austrian-who has no place in
the esteem and affection of the people.
Some would then wish to restore the
exQueen Isabella, and others to bring
about an 'sinfantine" marriage be
tween Alfonso's baby daughter and
the young son OF Don Carlos. Either
of these expedients would mean a
coup d'etat.
