Among all those lawyers who made
that heroic advance upon Nashville last
spring, to try the famous natural gas
bond Injunction, before Judge Jackson,
none were more distingue in their APP
pearance than Major Hamilton and
Emery Potter. They rather eclipsed
the other legal luminaries, in fact, and

stopped at the best hotel, were men

fashionable hostelries. In fact, the
Mayor and Mr.. Potter were in good
form IN every respect
But they never spoke in court. and
were silent as a London barrister. To
all intents and purposes they were
merely lending a high tone to the To
ledo party, and investing it with an air
of eclat
The colored porter at their hotel,
after frequent tips, eyinced a great
fondness for Mr.. Potter.
Every morning he awoke the distin-
guished Toledo attorney, and said
Good mornin, Majah, did you enjoy

Mr.. Potter replied that he had.

negro insisted on applying the military
title to him, and finally Mr.. Potter
said:

scrambled over the ground with his hands

Now he remembered his meeting with

had spurred him into a recital of the
scene he had witnessed, and reminded
him the crime was to be laid on Martin
Lee. He tried TO recall the number Of

he recalled all the circumstances attend

The Bee Hive,

Spring management of bees is an i'm
portant part of the apiarist's work. As
soon as the red buds of the soft maple
have put forth their heads, natural poll
len for the bees will be plentiful. This
usually occurs in May, and during this
month large quantities of brood are
raised. The soft maple is almost uni
versally distributed; but in localities
where it cannot be found, nor the will
lows either, it is well to place in some
sheltered place. where the wind cannot
come, some unboltcd rye-tlour. mixed
with saw-dust or cut straw. Warm feed
should be placed near the hive every
night if there are not enough honey-pro-
ducing plants i'll the neighborhood, or if
the weather continues cold, wet, and
damp. The object is to get the stock to
increase rapidly, and the more good food
that the bees get the faster will the stock
increase. If rainy and cold weather sets
in, and honey is scarce, the bees will be-
gin to destroy their work by throwing
out the Matching brood. The greatest
care is thus required to see that they are
well supplied with appropriate feed,
whether the weather be fair or I'M
pleasant.
The time of transferencc from old box
hives to movable frames is when the
fruit trees are in bloom. In doing this
work. however, the brood-nest should
not be exposed too long, as ii is liable To
get chill which would ruin everything.
If honey is scarce robbers will be flying
around. ready to enter the hive. The
moth miller especially will be prepared
to begin its destructive work.
The care of bees during the spring also
depends on the object for which they are
kept. If they are kept for increase
alone, they should be fed every night
until honey is abundant in the woods
and fields As fast as the combs become
filed with the queen. insert new ones
which the queen will begin to fill with
eggs. If the combs are full of honey SC
much the better. When the drUncS com
mencc to hatch. the colonies should be di-
yided. taking the queen to the new stand.
\ new queen will soon be reared by the
old colony. In this way the stocks can
be about doubled in one season.
OF course. if honey is the main object
in keeping the bees top boxes should be
added as soon as the bees begin to hang
out. The full boxes should be removed,
and empty ones put in their place.
When the boxes are full of honey the
bees will hang out, and frequently build
queen cells and leave the hive in Il body.
