This Country.
Among the recent industries Of rapid
growth in this country. bee-culture
stands prominent OF course. as a
homely art, Bookkeeping is no modern
industry, being a. old a. history; but in
its scientific developments it Is Of re-
cent growth. In these times. when
science Is properly taking its place at
the helm in all departments Of human
industry and activity. II il not strange
that il i properly assuming the guild
ance Of bcc-culturc. This is a utilitarian
n well as scientific age: and this Is why
bce-cuiture is being so rapidly dcvcl-
oped. for its extraordinary growth Is
only in the ratio Of its utility. Though
known to commerce for twenty-five
hundred years. hitherto II has been fol-
lowed and known. in this country al
least principally AZ a local industry.
But bce-culturc. from the soundcst
economic considerations, ought un-
doubtedly TO become q great national
industry fostercd and protected by the
State. Agriculture is naturally part
Of, and closely allied with agriculture.
inasmuch rs the nectar gathered by the
one Is Immediately derived from the
same fields and forests that yield the
abundant ingathcrings OF the other.
Indeed. the bulk OF the honcy-crop Of
this country (Which Is. in round num-
bcrs, about l00. 900, 900 pounds annual
ly) comes from the bee-kceping which
Is IN connection, more or less. with
farming. Allen Pringle, IN Popular

A Curious story showing How the Chinese

A woman. about thirty years OF age,
who found that her good looks were

Next morning the officials ordered the
corpse to be carried on the bridge from
which the deceased had thrown herself.

punish body after death seems alike
horrible and opposed TO all common

and stake driven through it. Indeed.
in many countries the fear Of NUT la

that Of death itself. In our little wars.

Make His Name Known.

The letter to the President of a Cincin-
natl man stating that ne and many others,
among them prominent lawyers, Judges
and merchants, had signed a petition tor
the appointment Of an unfit person to a
judicial position. and the Presidents
indignant reply TO the writer ofthe letter,
created quite a sensation Mt the time that
the letters were published. In fact, the
two letters have not yet been forgotten.
They promise to play quite a part in
politics before they are thrown aside as
being no longer of any Importance.
The Washington correspondents ha We
been very busy trying to find out the ap-
p~ointee TO whom the Cincinnati man re-
ferred, The unfit person, IL seems, was
appointed to a judicial position, and the
names OF all appointees to such a position
have been hunted up and means taken to
discover their records.
Several OF the a%ppointees have indig-
nantly denied that the letters had any ref
erence to them, and they rave had their
friends 20 come forward and vouch for
them. The correspondents will 20 through

1t would have been better, perhaps, il
the President, when he made the letters
public, had also made public the name of
person who was the subject of the cor
respondence together with the names
OF those who indorsed him. That
would have put a stop to the prac-
tice which many persons have tai
len into of indorsing anyone who
asks them to sign a recommendation, and
several very estimable gentlemen-ap-
pOintees to judgeships-wOuld not have
been brought under suspicion. The name

There is a Newfoundland dog of the histo-
RAMS acquaintance. Lion by name, who gives
a daily proof Of his COMPREHENSION of what is
said to him. A lady called on his mistress the
other day. During her call Lion came in
and went to sleep. The conversation ran on,
and the visitor said finally:
"NVhat a handsome Newfoundland you
have"
Lion opened one eye.
Yes" sad his mistress, "be is a very good
dog. and takes excellent care of the children"
Lion opened the other eye aud waved his
tail cOmplacently TO and fro along the carpet.
"When the baby goes out he always goes
with her, and l feel perfectly sure then that
no harm can come to her. his mistress went
on,
Lions tail thumped up and down violently
on the carpet.
"And he is so gentle to them all, and such a
playmate and companion to them, that we
would not take a thousand dollars for
him"
Lions tail now went up and down, to and
fro aud round and round with great and I'M
disguised glee.
But said his mistress, "Lion has one Sc
riOus fault"
Total subsistence of Lions tail, together
with the appearance of an expression OF great
concern on his face.
He will come in here with his dirty feet
and lie down on the carpet, when l haVe told
him time and again that he mustn't do
it."
Here Lion arose with an air OF the utmost
detection and humiliation and skunk out Of
the room, with his lately exuberant tail to-
tally crestfallen.

Opeuiug Of the Commercial Year-HOw
o 90 Make a Good beginning.
It ia customary in the cotton growing
States to date the business year from
Sept. /. Everyone looks forward TO the
time when the business pulse quiekens
and new life is given to trade. One ofthe
means used to give business a good start
at the beginning OF the business year is
advertising The enterprising mer-
chant uses the columns of the news
paper TO inform his patrons that he is
still in the land of the living; that he has
weathered the duh season, and again
soIi6it9 their trade. The newspaper pub
Usher uses she opening of the season TO
review the business Of the past year, and
70 give his city a frst-class boom.
Trade editions are published and widely
distributed for the benefit largely of those
who adv ertise in them.
In such editions business men, whether
merchants, mechanics or manufacturers.
ought TO bring their business before the
public.
Such advertising may not, in every case,
be productive Of immediate results, but
il will give their business houses a stand
ing abroad that they cannot otherwise OBJ
tain.
No enterprising business man of this
city who expects TO prosper can afford to
leave an announcement of his business
out Of the Trade Edition of the MORNING
NEWS. This edition will be issued on
Sept. 3. No efforts will be spared TO make
it such an edition as every Savannahiar
will have reason to be proud Of.

A Snake and Rabbit Combat.

from fNt 4H6tDoNYNe GttArfs q ntt ADs
The following instance of the strength Of
the maternal instinct in animals has been fur
nished to us by 4 reliable authority, the fact
being vOuched for by Mr.. John Philip, Of
Ascot Heath "A Chinamau in Mr.. Philips
employ, while hoeing potatoes, heard a pc
culiar noise issuing from a rabbits nest with
young ones. On looking up he saw a rabbit
and a snake engaged in deadly combat. The
snake frequently raised itself and struck at
the rabbit; the brave little animal, strong in
its maternal instinct. fought the snake
IN return with its fOrepaws. Thu China
man, who was quite excited when
narratlng the occurrence, thus describes
the incident, aided by a good deal of
expressive pantomime "Me hOey potatoes; see

headquarters here are the only ones of
the important systems which have a DOM
iciie in the state. The Richmond and
DanvIlle and the East Tennessee, Vlr-
ginis and Georgia roads have their head
quarters outside OF the State, and are not,
therefore, so completely in the power OF
the commission. The roads which con-
tribute the mostNo the states prosperity
are the ones upon which the commlssion's
rule bears the most heavily.
How burdensome aud annoying that
rule is can be understood only by those
subjected to IT. The pressure for lower
freight rates is constant and from every
side. Even IN cases where the rates are
already so low that they do not meet eX-
penses, the demand for a further reduc-
ton is as great as in cases where there IS
a reasonable margin for profit; and as
these demands are pressed upon q tribunal
that has little or no knowledge Of the
matters upon which 1t is called
to act it is not 10 be wondered at that
the railroads are all the time in a cOndi-
ton of uncertainty about their affairs.
They do not dare to plan for the future,
because they have no foundation upon
which to plan. The most they can do IL
to try to protect themselves. Is there
much TO be expected from corporations, in
the way Of improvements, thus harrassed
and o~bstructed3
Tennessee gave commission rule a fair
trial, and last April abolished the COM
mission and gave the management Of the
railroads back to their owners. The rail
roads in this State are not asking that the
commission shall be abolished. They are
asking for the right to appeal from it's
arbitrary and often unjust rate regula-
tions and decisions.
