one Of the burglars was found in the front

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-07-31

A successful boring for honey has been
made in north Tennessee. For many
years swarms of bees have been noticed
by boatmen at Fox Bluff, on the Cum
berland river, near Franklin, KY. The
bluff is ITO feet high, and the rivers
channel runs directly under it. The bees
have been observed about a big assure
near the center of the bluff, and the
opening could not be reached from above
or below without great danger of being
stung to death. AS the bees had never
been robbed, it was thought a large
amount Of honey was stored in the cliff.
Recently we'll borer named Starks Wis
tied the bluff and was at once impressed
with the idea that he could reach the
wonderful honey storehouse with his
drill. After some coa1ing he persuaded
a number of farmers to undergo the ex-
pense, and three inch hole was bored
from the top of the bluff. At depth of
eighty-fve feet the drill struck the
honey. According to a dispatch barrels
and tubs by the score were filled and
carried off to neighboring farms, and
the syndicate has sent to Louisville for
more Observation-Disclosures Ledger.

Three Presidents Sons.

By rather singular coincidence, as
the son of President Garfield departed
from banking institution the son of
another president entered it. Neither of
the young men knew the other by sight,
and neither of them was aware that
they were near enough to exchange
greetings had they been acquainted.
The other son of a president was U. s.
Grant, who is leading very quiet and
retired life in this city. He is almost
difident and shy in his dealings with
men, but he grows very greatly to re-
semble his father. Another ex-presi-
dents son lives in New York, although
he spends much Of his time in Europe.
This is young Alan Arthur, whose tastes
are social and whose requirements are
those of a refined and cultured man Of
the world, rather than in the direction
of political tastes such as distinguished
his father.-New York Cor. Philadel
phia Press.

A story is going the rounds now which
would indicate every opportunity for
Sabbath school missionary work among
the members of the house. The other
day Gambler and Grimes, of Georgia,
got into an argument in regard to early
religious training. Grimes claimed that
the religious precepts taught in youth
were never forgotten, and that the cate
chism and verses of scripture then COM
mitted to memory could be repeated
years after.
"rll tell you what I'll do, Grimes, :"
said Gambler, "Tll bet you $40 even that
there isn't man in this house can re-
peat the ten commandments without
making a mistake"
"Ill just go you," said Grimes. "Se-
lect your men," and the money was put
up.
Mr.. Gambler said he would select Rep
resentative Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
and Representative Wilson, of West
Virginia, both blue stocking Presbyte-
rians. Mr. Breckenridge was called in
first and the bet stated. The silver
tongued orator of KentuckT studied a
moment and then said: "Gentleman, l
can't repeat the Ten Commandments
without mistake" Mr.. Wilson was
then applied to, but the college professor
was also compelled to admit that his
memory was defective on that subject.
He got even with Gambler, however, by
saying: 81 am willing to bet $40 that !
could have repeated any nursery rhyme,
and Gambler would not have been able
to tell the difference between it and the
Ten Commandments. "-Pittsburg Com
