Nectar In flowers is not honey. This
nectar is gathered by the tongue of the
bee and enters what is called the
honey bag, from which it is regurgi-
tated by the bee on its return to the
hive and deposited in the honey cell.
Even then it is thin and watery, and
does not become really honey until the
watery parts have evaporated. In col.
lecting the sweets the bees do not con.
n themselves wholly to flowers.
They extract them also from fruits.

The Democratic caucus of the
general assembly adopted a resolu-
ton last week approving the action
of the State electors in indorsing
Ex-Governor JAMES D. PORTER for
q place in President CLEYELAND's
Cabinet. The caucus was said to be
unanimous, all of which is a de-
serving compliment to this distin-
guished West Tennessean, who so
ably assisted Secretary BAYARD in
Mr.. CLEvELAND's first Cabinet, and
while we are Of the opinion that
should the President-elect look to
Tennessee for material for his Cab
met there is not one more worthy
of his consideration that ex-Gov-
ernor PORTER, we are constrained
to believe that this action of the
general assembly is entirely incon-
sistent with their duties as legisla-
tors. Besides, Mr.. CLEVELAND will
no doubt select the members of his
Cabinet regardless Of individual
booms by general assemblies.

CABINET POSSIBILITIES.

Anent the discussion of Cabinet
possibilities, which occupies the
attention of the Democratic press,
Hon. Don M. DICKERsoN is favora-
bly, mentioned in connection with
the portfolio of Secretary of State,
and Senator CARLISLE can have the
portfolio of Secretary of Treasury
if he wants it. The names of Ex-
Governor GRAY and Col. DAN LA
MONT are mentioned for Cabinet
positions. Other Cabinet possibil-
tiles favorably mentioned are Con-
gresham WILSON, and our own
Ex-Governor PORTER is we'll en-
dorsed and is regarded with much
favor by the President-elect.
The following construction of the
Cabinet of President-elect CLEvE-
LAND is from the best information
obtainable, according to a recent
Washington special to the Louis
vile Courier-Journal: Secretary
of State, E. j. PHELPS; Secretary
of Treasury, JONI G. CARLISLE;
Secretary Of. the Navy, D. L. La
MONT; Secretary of War, JAMES E.
CAMPBELL; Postmaster General,
ISAAC P. GRAY; Attorney-General
Don M. DICKINSON. The Secreta-
ry of the Interior and Secretary OF
Agriculture are not given. This
list may undergo several changes
For instance, Colonel LAMONT may
take the post-office and ex-Govern,
or Gray agriculture. 1t is not alb
solutely certain that Mr.. PHELPS
will be rendered the portfolio o.
Secretary of State, or that Colone
DICKINSON will accept the attorney
generalship. Congressman HATcF
is well backed for Secretary Of thu
Interior, and SO is Colonel MoRRI
SON, but the latter is opposed b.
Mr.. WHITNEY and other Influential
friends of Mr.. CLEVELAND.
