Senator Colquitt is charged with
recommending q Radical sppli-
cant TOR appointment to Office. We
felt proud of his action in the
Speer confirmation matter, and en-
dorsed him with all our might;but
when he goes into the Radical re-
ccmmendation business, he stul.
tihes himself and disgusts his
friends. Such endorsements say
palmer than words that he be-
lieves that the Offices would be
better and more honestly admin
istered by Radical officeholders
than by Democrats, an assertion
which we have fought the profli-
gacy, dishonesty and tyranny of
that party too vigorously and too
long ever to admit. We cannot
understand such Democracy, and
cannot follow such leaders who
betray their party and deny its
principles as both our senator's
have done. We have sympathiz-
ed with Virginia, bat we can sym.
pcthize with her no more; but we
hang our head in shame when we
contemplate the betrayal of the
great Democratic party by leaders
whom il has delighted to honor.
The Democrats must retire such
traitors toits principles from its
leadership. or lose its purity, its
prestige and it's power.-Waynes-

tiful as possible; and by culture
and refinement many a deficiency
Of nature may be supplied. It has
been said, however, that
''Beauty's bus skin deep,
Ugly's to the bone;
Beauty fades away.
Ugly helS1s its own"
This may be true, physically,
but the beauty OF accomplishment
never fades away. Pretty is as
pretty does," is the best maxim
and style Of beauty. We have
seen very honely people who are
charming and fascinating, because
they acted beautifully; and, often,
these persons grow upon us in
what seems to be personal attrac-
ton. and because their conduct
and demesnor and conversation
are accomplished. This, t)o, is q
style OF beauty that is never given
to vanity nor subject to tempta-
ton. There is no harm in this
kind Of beauty; it is proof against
harm. Better than ell, this beau
ty is in reach of all; aud the most
homely and ugly need not be dis
couraged by what nature has not
done tor them. A we'll stored
mind, pure hearta beautiful life,
elegant address, fine powers of
conversation. these give grace to

II one is beautiful without ac-
complishment, that beauty is woe
fully discounted; and we have Of
ten seen q fair face and a hand
some form that possessed no at
traction whatever, save to lustful
eyes and low groveling desires.
Such beauty is often the curse of
mankind; and it is doubtful if
any cause has been more prolific
Of evil in the world. Let every
body try to be beautiful above ma
ture's beauty. Health on the face
is better than rouge or powder.
Grace in the heart is more excel
lent than grace in the heal or toe
on the ballroom door. The clothing
OF character is better than all the
adornment of fine hsbiliment. A
jewel in the mind sparkles above

The beauty of worth and dignity

midget locomotives" for plantation
use are said to be superseding mules.
One of them weighs only ten tons, and
they are used on rails which weigh
twelve pounds to the yard. The cylin-
ders are only ten inches long. These
little engines are not confined to wood
for fuel. AS lumbermen, they burn
wood. AS plantation engines, they fire.
quently burn refuse sugar cane. In Il
different form, but with the same di-
mnutive cylinders, they are used in
coal mines for hauling cars, and burn
either soft or hard coal or coke. In their
smallest sizes they are only 10 feet long
over all, AZ feet high and five feet wide.
a few bushels Of coal and few pals of
water keep them running all day. One
of these moles in coal mine at Brook

nearly three-quarters of ton each, up

rate of los feet to the mile.

About BccS.

Bees have slender pointed hairs upon
their heads. The yellow hairs upon
their legs, which can be seen with the
naked eve, turn out to be hard, horny
sort of combs which they use in the
gathering and storing of the pollen of
flowers. Besides this, the bees hsve
two little baskets upon their thighs
which are the very perfection of side
pockets, just such as we should want
for a similar purpose.
But what do you think they do with
these pockets? They first tuck their
little heads into the heart of the rose or
lily, or other sweet flower, for honey.
In doing so they cover them all over
with the yellow dust, which is the pol
len. Then they take their fore feet and
brush it very carefully from the hair,
and pass it on to the middle feet, and on
to the hind feet, when it is safely packed
in these little pockets on the thighs. AS
soon as they are loaded down they fly
away home and put it in some secret
place.
Some of the pollen is given to their
babies, and some of it is worked up into
wax. This, you know, is used to make
the cells. Some of it, called propolis,
they use to punish intruders, giving
them a sort of Star and feathering."
The bees arc so industrious, that in
FIVE days, by the use of these pockets,
they can half fill the hive with honey
comb.

Why She is Miss.

"The negroes are quick to see fact,
but they do not put one fact and another
together and draw a conclusion or make
a comparison. The Indians do. For
instance, one of my Indian boys the

TO miss, told him, is the same as to
fail. You shoot at bird or at a mark,
and do not hit it; you miss it. You go
to tailor's for coat, and your coat fits
badly; it is a miss-fit. You hope to en-

DE Lesseps' Ditch.

Mr.. Nathaniel Mckay, of Philadel-
phia, who has just returned from Paris,
where he had several interviews with
Count De Lesseps, says he has more
confidence than ever in the completion
of the Panama canal. De LeSsepS had
just contracted for sixty new eXcavators
in Holland and France which will eXca-
waite $500, 900 cubic metres per month,
and the American Dredging Company
is taking 100000 metres per month,
while an arrangement has been made
with the Franco-American Trading
Company to take from 5000, 900 to
s. ZOO, 900 metres on the Pacific side.
With this vast amount of machinery ut
work Mr.. Mckay sees no reason why
the canal should not be completed in a
short time. As to the financial question
De Lesseps eXpects,to procure from the
French Assembly law giving the COM
pany power to issue their stock with a
premium attached, the purchaser who
is lucky enough to have bought the
right number gaining the prize. The
Suez canal used this lottery system, and
if the Panama Company are Genied it
they still have the power 10 issue stock
or bonds as they may require, and De
Lessons SAWS there are now stock hold
ers in France, Holland, England and
Spain who are ready to come forward
with as much more money as he may
need.
