BEES AS WEATHER PRoPaErs,-A new
use may possibly be found for bees. NOT
only are they honey giVefs, but it appears
that they may be recognized as weather
harbipeers, but how far ahead the bee may
be able TO lock may be 81 open question.
A nice observer by looking at them in the
early morning during the working season
will soon be able TO form az opinion as to
what the day will be and that almost to
certainty, for they will sometimes appear
sluggish and inactive, although the moFnipg
is very bright and showing every appear
aucs Of clear day, but the Sun becomes
couded Snd ts.:c follows.
And again the morncs may be dull al, ana
cloudy and sometimes Ssin may be falhng
still the bees will be observed going ont IN
considerable numbers, and as sure 90 this is
seen the day becomes bright and fair

A strange Race Of People.

Senator Wade Hampton in Globe Demo
 crat
 There is singular race of people in South Carolina called Redbones. Their origin is unknown. They re- semble ill appearance the gypsies, but in complexion they are red. They have accumulated considerable property and areindustrious and peaceable. They live in small settlements at the foot of the mountains, and associate with none but their own race. They are proud and high-spirited people. Caste is very strong among them They enjoy hfe, visit the watering pleees, and mountain resorts, but eat by themselves and keep by themselves. When the war broke ont several of them enlisted in the Hampton Legion. and when the legion reached Virginia ih.re was a great outcry among the Virginians and the troops from other States because We had enlisted negros. They did not resemble the African in the least, ex- cept in cases where Africans had anal gamated with Indians This iptermix- ture, which is common in the Garolinas, produces marvellous results. It takes  the kink out oi the hair of the African, straightens his features and improves him i'll every way except in temper. These Afro-Indo people ere devils when aroused, and as slaves were hard to manage But to return; we soon convinced the Lickers against the ReJ- bones that they we're all right, and when in the first Bnil Run battle they proved how vsll they could fight all prejudice agli t them disappeared.

Arizona sunshine for Consumpiives.

It is fact of constant observation in Arizona that almost in every neighbor- hood people are now living, working and enjoying themselves, who came here from other climates with fractional lungs, and threatened with early disso- lution. It has been generally supposed that Arizona air and sunshine induced n toning up and strengthening of the system which enabled it to arrest the course of the disease and perhaps to repair the injuries. This hypothesis is so reasonable and seems to be approved by such wide experience that it will probably do to cling to, but it is of in terest to note that Koch, the great German student of the minute vegeta- ble organism which is supposed to be the cnuse of tubercular consumption, has announced that the splendid effect of sunlight on the organism is to de- stroy its virulenee, suspend its activity, and finally render 1t inert. It follows from this that consumptiyes cannot do better than live in the open air and the sun, and that the more they are ex posed to the solar rays, the greater their chance of escape. Hence a eli mate that permits open air life every day is the one for eonsumptiyes.

THE oRreIS.L-raeKsGE PRoBLEn.

The decision of the Federal Courts ill Iowa and Kansas to the effect that the act of Congress authorizing the States to legislate with regard to im- portations of liquors in original pack ages is Imperative as to State laws pre- viously passed has placed the matter exactly where it was before Congress touched it. That is to say, conced1ng their recent decisions to correct, there is no law on the statue book of any State under which the traffic in such liquors can be prevented or regulated, if is not probibitorY laws alone that are affected, but all temperance laws in so far us the sale of imported liquors is concerned All State legislation up- on the liquor, in its relation to intoxi- cants taken from one State into anoth- CT, was invalidated by the remarkable decision of the Supreme Court at Washington ln April last. They be- came practically null and void, for the reason that the States had passed them without authority to make them appl- cable to imported products Judge Cooley says in his "Constitutional Lir,itations" that law which is found to be unconstisutional lis to be regarded as having never at any time been pass ed and in legal force. The Iowa and Kansas decisions hold that an act of Congress cannot give life and force to laws thus declared to be dead letters, but that an act of the State Legislature is additionally necessary. Appeals have been taken in these cases. and the Supreme Court will be asked to ad- vance them for hearing at the earliest possible date. Globe Democrat.

A vessel of an entire new type is soon to be added to the navy. It Is the Ammen, or harbor defense ram, de- signed by Rear Admiral Daniel Ammen retired. Rams were used during the War of the Rebellion with the destruc- tive effect, bnt this is probably the first to be built solely for raInming and without any armament whatever. It IS to be heavily armored and almost en- tirely submerged, with provision for sinking it still lower in the water when ill action. The main difficulty in de- signing such vessel Is to give 1t en- ough structural strength to withstand the tremendous shocks to which 1t will be exposed in action, and at the same time to reduce the size of the frame to minimum that shall leave little ma terial above water. There will be to- gether 102 compartments In the vessel, and it will be so protected by steel ar- nor as to be practically unsuitable. It's ram head to be of wrought steel, and removable. The vessel will have { displacement of 2050 tons, and engines of 4S00 horse power If is designed to make seventeen knots per hour, and one we'll directed blow from its steel ram is expected to be sufficient to crush through the sides of the strong est armored vessel ailoat The idea of this ram was submitted to the Navy Department some years ago, but Ad- miral Ammen still deyotes his thoughts to naval affairs, and now has under con struction life raft, which he thinks may be oi great value on ocean steam CTS in case of accident

In speech delivered ny Ben. Bniler at St. Louis recently, be said "i do not intend to touch extensively on pol itics, but will say that 1 am protec- tiomst from head to heel. Now, mark my words, gentlemen, and remember them after am gone: Protection will always be the policy of this country. Unler Washington the first protective tariff was passed The bill stated that it was for the protection ot American industries. I not only believe in the protection of American industries, but of all American industries. You may have heard that for many years l fought for the coinage of silver. For this I was called thief, robber. and many other kind names Hard names do not kill however; if they did l should have been dnad long ego. The silver bill did not take the right direc- ton. It should have provided for the coinage of American silver alone. The product of our mines falls little short of the s6i, 900, 900 that are to be ex. l pended each year, but if the bill had contained this provision, the product in year would have been sufficient to supply all requirements. In reference to the tariff bill I do not consider 1t US the end of human intelligence, but you can rely upon it that it never will be substantially altered; that the great principle of protection can never b' changed"

The Navy Department is moving with great circumsrection in the matter of adopting nickel steel armor for its ves- sels. The Annapolis tests appeared to be conclusive as to the merits of the particular nickel-steel plates by com parlson with the all-steel and compound plates. But the Ordnance Bureau has not been entirely convinced that it should proceed at once to adopt the alloyed plate as the standard The plate which was tested was of foreign manufacture, and it may be that even if an adequate supply of nickel is ob- tained the domestic manufacturers can not succeed in n.making an alloyed plate tbat will equal in resisting power the plate tried at Annapolis Or it may be that if the successful process is discoy- cred, the manufacture will be inor dinately expensive.

MT. John Keown, the worthy post master at Keown, Allegheny county, Penn. says; "Chamherlain'sC Cough Rem edy sells better than any other. The reason of this is because it can always be depended upon. Le, any one troubled with severe cold give it a trial and they will find that the hrst dose will re- lieve the lungs and make breathing easier, and that it's continhed use will free the system of all symptoms of tho cold. The promptness and certainty of this remedy in the relief and cure of colds, has won for t many sincere friends and made it very popular. For sale by H (. Hitchcock, druggist.

The following item taken from New Mexico paper tells the story of what the lead tariff has done for one mining camp. The late act of Congress, levying Q tariff on Mexican lead ores, has done more tc stimulate the mining industry in this Territory than anything else that ever happened. A large number of mines that had been closed up for years under the free lead policy have already resumed operations with full eomplements of men and others are starting every day. In the Magdalena camp alone, about seventy miles from Albuquerque, over 400 men have already been put to work in mines that had been idle for years, and 1t is esti- mated that more than 1000 men have found employment in various other camps within the last few weeks.

Statehood has not brought to Colo rado the blessings of cheap or good government According to the Denver News, it requires $500, 900 to run the State; $500, 900 more including fees to run the county, and sl, 1000, 900 to run the city. Here is total of $2, 900, 900, and yet city sewer warrants are in de- fault, and State warrants have gone to protest. State treasurers, however. retire with a. fortune; gang contractors boast of enormous profits; political favorites can get school lands at half or three-fourths their value, and every ballot box suffer or forger of election returns IS drawing salary from the city government.
