do you know the very latest thing
in our society,"" inquired married
lady ola Washington correspondent
of the Indianapolis Ners, as she
sighted two or three young ladies sea-
ted in the gallery OF the House of
Representatives set apart for families
of the members.
"No,n said J. "If there are any
new crimps | should like to know
what they are"
"Well, / don't know whether |
ought to tell you or not You men
are so cynical about these things II
is English, you know, aid is certain
ly new 10 me. DO you see that pret.
ty blonde over there in the members
gallery"
| looked across 10 the direction she
indicated, aud saw several pretty
blondes and said 50, but she finally de-
signated the particular one meant.
"Well." said I,"what is the new
racket"
1T is garters,n said she. 1T l.
quite new thing In garters, and
when ! say it is English | mean it
was brought over by every one Of the
young ladies attached to foreign le-
cation. 1t struck Washington on
New Years Day, so far as / can learn !.
This is neat concern in colOrs, to
suit the fancy of the wearer, and is
worn above ihe lett knee. 1t is put
on on New Years Day, and worn
continuously, on the theory that the
wearer will be married before the
year is out. Now, that young lady
over there has very pretty, neat yel-
low garter of fine wool, and she has
disturbed number cf various colors
among her female acquaintances. Oh,
it is quite new thing" said my in
formant. "You need not laugh. There
rs no telling how maoy young ladies
in Washington have this craze, or
how many ale going about with q
yellow, blue, or red woolen garter
strapped to their left limbs"
but, why the leit?" l inquired.
THAT do not know, unless it is
because it is nearest the heart,v was
the response.
Am led to infer that the young
lady wears ber stocking also, until she
meets the fatal charmer?"
"Oh, not at all, It's only the garter,
you know"
Have you any well-authenticated
case where the charm has worked
successfully"
mo, not yet" she langhingIy re-
piled. But / promise TO let you
know the first case which comes un
der my observation.

Arizona as a Iave-stock Country.

Although possessing the necessary
elements for raising live stock of all
classes, cattle predominant in our terri
tory. says a Prescott paper. over all
other kinds. This will no doubt be the
ease for some time TO come, but while
the cattle are multiplying very fast.
there can be no question that the horse.
sheep. and hog industry is receiving
more attention daily and gaining ground
with the same, if not more. speed than
other branches of commerce How
ever. the production of live stock Of the
latter description does not attract the
attention which the favorable sources
Arizona extends should receive. For
raising blOoded horses or hogs no more
favorable place could be found in any
state or territory in the union than the
Salt river valley. Here feed of all kinds
can be raised at little expense. and the
climate is such as TO warrant the health
of stock. Alfalfa. the grass Of which 50
much has been written lately. grows
with almost unprecedented rapidity, and
as fodder for hogs its equal can not
be found, these animals snbsisting en-
tirely on this. and growing FIT. Arizo-

Tin Roofs For Bee-Hives.

MIR. John Rey, of East Saginaw, Mich.
writes TO the Bee Journal: | have OBJ
tanned only half crop. or thirty-three
pounds per colony. this season.
started last spring with twenty-five colo
nies, increased them TO seventy-three
during the season. and obtained eleven
hundred pounds Of comb honey and
thirteen hundred pounds of extracted
honey have sold five colonies, which
leaves me sixty-eight: these l have
packed in pIaner shavings on the sum-
mer stands. have contracted the most
Of my colonies down to seven and some
to six Langstroth frames, and filled in
the space and over the brood-frames
with shavings. Ny colonies are strong
in bees, and left them thirty pounds
Of honey per colony TO winter on, the
most OF which is white clover honey.
The past summer | put tin roofs ON my
hives, and gave them two coats of
paint. which makes a good roof. and
costs only Is cents per hive. / lost two
colonies last winter just on account of
leaky roofs. and for the value of those
two colonies could have rooted one
hundred hives. | use the roofing tin
20x28 inches, and it is just the size for the
ten-frame Langstroth hive. also use
hooks for the covers of every one of my
hives. To fasten and unfasten them is
but the work Of moment, and less
trouble than handling a large stone.
My hives stand In the open air all the
year around. except in midsummer.

much heat from the sun.

Stock, &C., &c.

A suit has been instituted in tho
Chancery Court Of this city by Messrs.

against the West Point Terminal Com
pany and the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company.
The bill Of the plaintiffs alleges that
each is the owner Of 100 shares OF the

Point Terminal Railroad Company has
contracted to sell to the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company the ma
jority of the stock of the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta, the Greenville
and Columbia, and the Western North
Carolina Railroad Companies, and that
the Richmond and Danville Railroad
Company has agreed to purchase the
same. And they allege, further,
that this contract is illegal, and
that the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company has no authority to
purchase and hold any OF the said stock,
and therefore they pray the Court to
enjoin the Terminal Company from
transferring and delivering the said
stock to the Richmond and Danville
Company, and to enjoin the Richmond
and Danville Railroad Company from
receiving the same.
Judge Wexford, in the absence Of
Judge Holiday, awarded an injunction

been entered into before the clerk Of
the Chancery Court with security.

vile Company, who has read COM
