The directness Of the bees fight |,
proyerbial The shortest distance
between any two given points i.
called a Decline. Many observers
think that the immense eyes with
which the insect is furnished greatly
assist, II they do not entirely account
for, the arrowy straightness Of its
passage through the air.
Every bee has two kinds of ewes
the two large compound ones, looking
like hemisphere, on either side, and
the three simple ones which crown
the top OF the head. Each compound
eye Is composed Of $500 facets. that
Is to say, an object is reflected 3, 500
times on its surface Every one OF
these facets is the base Of an inverted
nexagonal pyramid, whose apex is
lifted to the head. Each pyramid
may be termed an eye, for each has
its own iris and optic nerve.
How these insects, manage this
marvellous number of eyes is not yet
known. They are immoyable. but
mobility is rendered unnecessary be-
cause OF the range OF vision afforded
by the position and number of the
facets. They have no lids, but are
protected from the dust and injury
by rows OF hairs growing along the
lines at the functions Of the facets.
The simple eyes are supposed to
have been given the bee to enable TO
see above its head when intent upon
gathering honey from the cups o
flowers.
Probably this may be one reason,
but it is likely there are other uses
for them not yet ascertained. A bee
flies much in the same way as a
pigeon, that is to say, it first takes
an upward spiral flight into the air,
and then darts straight for the object
in view.
Now an experimenter on insect
nature covered a bees simple ewes
with paint, and sent it into the air.
instead OF darling straight off after
rising. 1t continued to ascend. An
parently, then, these eyes are used in
some measure to direct the flight.

snbscl4 4ption to the INTELLIaENCBR. I
am very thankful to you for sending ME
the paper. It would be hard for me to
do without it. We made about two
thirds of an average crop of cotton last
year, and an average crop of corn. There
will be very near enough pork killed to
supply the county with meat this year.
Money is scarce, but otherwise we are
doing very well.

all such medicine has played out in Cal

Kindness Won Her Riches.

READING, Pa, January 5.-An old ro-
nance is about to culminate in the mar
riage of Miss Kate Kutz whose home is
No. SIT Cherry street, and Leon Poheik,
a gentleman from Brazil who is said 20
be worth Sl,OOO.OOO Last July, while
riding from Allentown to this city in a
train, Miss Kutz kindly closed the win
dow by the side Of an old gentleman who
was asleep. 1t was raining hard and he
was unconsciously getting very wet. lie
awoke, thanked the girl and got her
name and address, and the consequence
was many letters were exchanged by
them. Mr.. Poheik proposed marriage,
but Miss Kutz would not consent unless
he would come to this city to live, and
rather than to lose his fiance he consented
to leave his business interests in Brazil
and Cuba and come here ito reside. A
valuable property has been purchased
here by the intended groom, and the
wedding will soon take place. Miss kutz
is thirty years old, good looking and a
waiter in restaurant. Her future hus-
band is about fifty years old.

Shaved by His Wife.

'There is a society woman in this city
who shaves her husband three times a
week." said smooth-faced man at desk
in the corner Of the room. "It is so, and
I know it. I ought to know it, for I'm
the man. The way of it is this: Last
Summer we lived in the country, and
used to come into town to get shaved. OF
course I would meet somebody l knew
and often would go homo late-some-
times, confess, in rather 'fraZZled
out condition. Madam didn't say any
thing, but she no doubt kept up dill
gent thinking, and one day she said:
"'Dearie, 1 hate to haye you 60 in
town to get shaved it keeps you up late
and gives you such headaches. Bring me
out razor and I'll wager 1 can shave
YOU
"Of course I hooted at the idea, but she
persisted, and claimed that she was far
more intelligent than the average barber,
besides being equally talkative; so !
finally humored her by getting nice
case of razors. Well, sir, she cut me
slightly only once or twice, and can now
shave me like an expert. Did you ever
see cleaner face than mine? pay her
q fancy price, of course, but she promises
to take me to Europe some day on her
barber shop perquisites.
"Pooh !' said the book keeper with the
hox ofo y, 4 1o "a
my wife that near me with razor i'll her
hand"
"Well," retorted the smooth-faced
man, 'if was mean to My wife would
be, too"
And the balance of sympathetic laugh
ter was with the man whose wife shaves
him.-Chicogo Times.

President Cleveland will bo inaugu-
rated on Saturday, which accounts for
the dubiousness as to an inaugural ball.
It is too close TO Sunday to enable the
festive Democrats to do all the
dancing that the occasion seems to call
for.
Dan Allen, q we'll known colored
man, employed at the store Of James 4.
Williams &c Co., has invented novel
horse feeder. 1t is for long distance
feeding, or in other words is an inven-
tion which will become popular with the
lazy man and the man who dislikcs to
get up early in the morning to feed his
ock. The feeder consists of q box with
false partition in the middle of it. The
box is placed over each stall in stable
and, after feeding his stock at night, the
owner fills the box with corn and fod-
dor or whatever he desires. Attached to
the feeders are cords or wires. These run
to the mans house. They may be run
to his bed room. On awakening in the
morning, instead Of having to get up and
having to 80 out to feed, he simply pulls
the wire or cord which runs to tho stable
and the partition in each feeder falls, al
lowing the corn and fodder or whatever
it may be to drop into the trough of the
horse or mule in the stall. Allen claims
that by a system of boxes, cords and
wires as many as twenty head of animals
can be fed simultaneously. He says that
every body who has looked at the inven-
ton pronounces it a success and believes
that it will mako him fortune. One Of
the feeders have been put up at Parks
livery stable.-Greenv,te Ne~s.

The Farmers College.
Columbia State, Jan. S.


Governor Tillman last night returned
from Clemson College where he has been
for the last few days attending meetings
of the board of directors. The Legisla-
ture having granted the appropriation Of
S5O,OOO asked for by the trustees for the
completion of the college, this meeting
was to make arrangements for the re-
sumption of the work, and its rapid con-
clusion.
Governor Tillman says the board put
all the machinery in motion necessary to
secure all the laborers needed and the
material, and the work will 60 forward
Immediately with rush.
He says the board could not definitely
settle upon the exact time for the opening
Of the college. They hope, if possible, to
have the college open at the first of May.
This, however, will be decided at the next
meeting of the board which will be held
on February l. 1t will depend in great
measure on the condition Of the weather
for the 3ext month.
The Governor says that no matter what
may occur the college will be opened not
later than July l, and he thinks that with
the energy which they will employ the
college will open on June l. TIE build
ings will all be completed according to
the original plans, atfording acconmoda-
tions for 500 students.
Nothing was done in regard to the eloc-
ton of a. president to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of President
Strobe. Prof. Strobe retains the chair of
mathematics in the college however.
The board will probably elect president
at it's next meeting.

He Was 4 VentrllsQuiSt.

A practical joker had good deal Of fun
Sunday night at the expense of the police
and number of gentlemen who were
sitting in the office of the Allen House.
About 10 o'clock the shrilery of "mur-
der murder! help! he's killing me-
broke upon the stiffness of that neigh
borhood, and instantly there was gem
eral stampede for the street from whence
the cries seemed to come. At the samo
instant two policemen dashed around the
corner, and seeing the crowd in front Of
the hotel they rushed up breathlessly to
discover the cause of the tumult.
Of course no one could explain, only
that some one outside had yelled murder.
Just at that moment deep groans, fol-
lowed by the faint cry of "Help! oh,
Lord, help me !" came from the stairway
leading up to the second floor Of the
Hamlin building, and the crowd made a
pell nell rush for the door. Several pis-
tolls flashed in the moonlight, as score
Of determined men, headed by the police
officers, climbed the stairway. Lights
were procured and every nook and cor
ner of the building were thoroughly
searched. Several men climbed out IN
the roofs Of neighboring buildings, but
nowhere could the body Of the murdered
man be found.
1t was indeed d horrible mystery, and
all marveled greatly as to what it could
mean. A bout the time the crowd was
ready to divide into squads for the pur-
pose of securing that entire part of the
town. it leaked out that one Of the guests
Of The hotel was yentriloqust and had
put up a job on the other guests as well
as the police officers. Nobody said a
word, but in two minutes the street was
deserted and every drummer was secure
iy locked in his room.

"From m. construction Of the Act the
only qualification is that tho messenger
must be a person and not necessarily u
qualified elector."
The majority of tho committee sup
ported their position on the following
grounds:
Mr.. Tracy said that under decision of
the Supreme Court of the Uuited States,
reported in 6 Wallace, an office. was de-
fined to be any position filled by govern
mental appointment and combining ten
ure, duration, emolument and duty. All
these are com bined in the messenger, the
tenure though short being defined, his
duty being clear, a punishment provided
for non or misfeasanco and the enolu-
ments provided by statute that the mes
senger was State officer, his creators
being State officers, rs decided in Green
vs.. Fitzgerald, 10 Sup CT Rep, and that
Section of Article XIV of the Constitu-
ton Of South Carolina prohibited one
not possessing the qualifications Of a vo-
ter from being an oilice-holder.

the result of the election, but refused to
sign Messenger Gantt's commission. eX-
cept on the condition that the Ncvs and

pended as exhibit A"
Doubtless some very (?) wise sages
will perhaps try and attribute Mr.. Gan!t's
election to the position taken by the
NeWS and Courier. AS q matter of fact
CAN'T was practically elected long before
the Necs and Courier thought of his Sc
lection. 'Col." Cant was an early bird,
secured pledges for place no one SEEM
cd to care for, and to-day those pledges
were CARRIED out. That is all there IS in
the election.
It is curious to note that while Elector
Hart held that Mr.. CAN'T was ineligible,
yet he voted for him. He explains his
course by saying that after the electors
decided that Mr.. CAN'T was eligible
he could have no further objections to
him.
Fortunately the qualification of Mr.
CAN'T makes no difference. A duplicate
of the vote will be forwarded by mail,
and authority is given to send another il
necessary.
Comptroller General Ellerbe to-day is

tends that all insurance companies shall

posit of S25, 900 when they become surety

1T COMES HIGH.

We are informed that the tax levy for
this County was fixed by the late "re-
form" Legislature at IL 20 mills, appro-
priated as follows: For State purpo-
ses, 5 IL mills; County purposes, 3 9-1o
mills; School purposes, 2 mills.
For last year the levy was 81 mills, ap-
portioned as follows: For State purposes,
~ mills; for County purposes, 8 mills !;
School purposes, 2 mills.
The average tax for this year and last
amounts to 10 800 mills. q
Under the administration just pre-
ceding the .reform" administration the
corresponding levy for each year was as
follows: For State purposes, St mills /;
county purposes, q mills; shool pur-
poses, mills, making total OF 92imills
for each year. The tax for this year a, d
last averages seven-tenths of mill more
than for corresponding purposes under
Richardson's last administration.
For the first year of Gov. Richardson's
last term the total levy for this county
i = H =
was Ill mills, but II mills OF this amount
was special levy for payment of past in
debtedness. The levy for this year, as
shown above, is II 2-5 mills. The high
est levy, then, during Governor Richard
sons second term, Notwithstanding the
fact it included II mills for past indebt-
edness, was lower than the levy under
the present year Of Gov. Tillman's ad-
ninistration, which included no special
levy for payment of past debts.
The Auditor remarked in talking about
the matter that he believed the levy for
this year was higher than at any time
since the "days of carpetbagism and good
stealing
"Reform" comes high, but we must
have it.

The Vienna correspondent to the

= The Vienna correspondent to the
London Daily Neavs tells the following
story of a Roumanian miser: "a Greek
died in the small town of Caracal, having
always lived on the aims of his compa-
triots. Before dying he made his wife
swear that she would bury him in the
dirty old overcoat which he wore every
day. The poor woman had to ask the
Greeks of Caracal to help her to provide
the costs of the funeral. A good-hearted
Greek went to see her in her alfiiction
and, pointing to the body, said he would
give her better coat to bury the man in.
Then she told him Of the dead mana last
wish. The Greek, whose suspicions
were awakened, told her that she should
certainly not part with the body before
she had we'll examined the coat, for thers
must lie some particular reason for the
request. The widow unpicked the lin
ing of the overcoat and found $4,000
francs in bank notes which the m!ser,
wished to take into the grave with him."
