The men who are trying to push
Grover Cleveland into the ring again
as a candidate for President, If sue
cessful, will have but one thing to
show for their folly: that Of humiliar
ting the man they would honor, pro-
vided he is foolish enough to be a
party to the the plan. The declara-
ton that Cleveland is platform with
in himself is probably true, but the
American peopfs are not pining for
any more one man rule, and Cleva-
land would be defeated by a greater
vote than any man who ever ran for
the Presidency. The old man is now
resting easily on his laurels and ac-
cumlated cash, and to place him In
position that be viii go down to bis
grave with the epitaph written on his
monument, she ran for q third term p
would be a punishment his more
"ardent" enemies would not wish to
bestow upon him. Well may q man
exclaim at times: "save from my
friends"

WATER FOR A CITY.

Within short distance of Sydney, New South Wales, the foundations of a great dam are being put in. and on these a mass of concrete and rubble will be reared to height of 15O feet.
 The thickness of the wall will be 120 feet at the base, tapering, at the sum init, to sixteen feet. When the work Is completed it will throw back the waters of the Cataract river, and pro- vide an almost limitless supply for the city and its great suburbs. Already 200 men are engaged in the rearing of it. while another POO are toiling with axe and fire on the scrub and timber which cover the area intended for the bed of the reservoir. The city's pres ent supply is drawn from Prospect, and dates from 1888. It was estab- lished on an estimate based on the needs of population of 296 200; but as the population to be supplied now num-

IMMUNE TO BEE POISON.

That a person who has been often stung by bees becomes in time im-
 mune to the poison of the sting is as- serted by Dr H. F. Parker. He re- ports that when he first began to keep bees he was frequently stung, and that each sting was attended with acute 1 pain; but that as time went on the | pain and swelling became less. In
 the following year, while transferring
 a hive of bees, he had an experience (which he thus relates: u. 'Sting followed sting in succession, 1 in legs, arms, fingers, neck and face. imagined what picture would present closed eyes and swollen hands and feet. I worked on, and so did the bees. I could feel the needle l like thrust, but then it did not seem to l hurt as much, and at last finished l the task. With aching head, slight
 nausea and vertigo slowly coming on, I left my task with a sigh of relief l for what was accomplished and filled with wonderment as to what my per
 sonal appearance would be. Nr. Imagine my astonishnent to find ! merely slightly raised red spots, like little pimples, with the red sting in the
 center. must have had something like forty of them on various parts of ] my body. My clothes were full of them, but they being so thick did not allow the sting to penetrate. The dizze- ness nausea and headache left me and l Richard was himself again
 s'When again visited my bees did
 not, dread the stinging process any longer, at least, not as much so as for merly, and then, and ever since, have found that when a bee does sting me the pain is only sharp for an instant and there is an absence of after swell ing.
 1T have since been stung many more
 times than I was at that time, and yet none of the symptoms above re- ! ferred to have been reproduced. Am not, therefore, immune of the poison of the honey bee, at least to certain extent?
 "All authorities on bee culture state the fact, as crumb of comfort to nov
 ices in beekeeping, that the poison of
 bee will produce less and less effect upon their systems Old beekeepers,' 1t 1 is said, like Mithridaes, appear almost to thrive on the poison itself Hulsh
 speaks of seeing the bald head of Bon
 ner, a celebrated practical apiarist, covered with sttngS which seemed to produce upon him no unpleasant eff feet. Rev MT Kleine advises begin
 ners to allow themselves to be stung
 frequently assuring them that in two seasons their systems will become ac-
 customed to the poison
 Tn conclusion let me state that I
 firmly believe that the bee keeper be- comes inoculated with the poison of the
 bee, and usually becomes proof, or at
 least immune, against it, is no more 1 to be doubted than the fact that vac
 cination is a preventive against small BOX. Journal.

Hoatage for a Nickel.

Almost daily one sees records of different persons being detained in default of various large sums q$ money. Here is a little girl who thu other day offered to place her little haxen-haired brother in trust for the tiny sum of five cents. The transao- tion, or what might have been one, took place in certain barber shop in town. The barber had just finished rounding of the little fellows bangs and was heaping all manner of praises on him for his good behavior during the process of the operation, and the little sister stood proudly by, happy in the thought that she was guardian through such an or- deal. Finally the time came to "ren- der unto Caesar the things that are Caesars and she handed over to the barber a bright ten-cent piece.

A MICHIGAN TROOPERS ofAoK SHOT. was ''not-not the six hundred' we are told in the poem. Now, abouS 400 of the 600 who followed Lord Cardigan in his mad ride upon the Russian guns emerged unscathed, and only one in six was slain.
 Every day of Lees march toward the Potomac lessened the chances of disaster in case the Federals attacked the moving column. His soldiers re- gained confidence every mile they measured on the road home The fact that Meade did not hurl his troops against the broken Confederate battal- ions at the close of Pickett's grand charge on July convinced the south erners that either the Federal leader was tlnid or his own army had suf fered frightfully in the battle at Get tysburg. Lee and Longstreet looked with dismay upon the retreat of Pick ett's shattered line from Cemetery ridge, and not a soldier under them but believed that the enemy would follow up. Not until the defeated ranks were safe behind their own guns did their leaders breathe freely. The hour to ,forestall Lees getting away was over. It may have come again on the banks of the flooded Potomac at Falling Waters on July 12, but nothing Is certain in war. Ns,

on July 12,. and Lee stood at bay be- hind earthworks Lee had but a few, rounds of ammunition for his guns and every one of his regiments. had fought in the thick of it at Gettysburg. Meade had plenty of everything. and thissfresh divisions, which had not fired shot at Gettysburg, outnumbered the battered battalions of Lees army. Meay1esrecon- noitered on the 18th and 13th deciding to attack on the 14th. Meanwhile Lee constructed bridge for,his trains, the waters fell at the lords and the 14th saw the Army of Northern Virginia on sacred soil once more, with every thing saved except what Kilpa trick and Blu ford had snatched from the column in the mountain passes.
 Early on the Hath, while Lees ad- vance was crossing the river, Clusters brigade of Michigan troopers rode up- on the rear guard covering the bs 2. General PettiGrew's brigade la n bivouac behind a series of deta ed earthworks. Worn out with fatigue and marching, the Confederates were asleep when four companies of the Sixth Michigan moved up with cau- tious tread. General Hefh saw the danger and aroused the men. But the Wolverenes lost no time inymRking for their prey. Two companies deployed at gallop as skirnnishers, andVB and F, under Captain Weber. dashed with drawn sabers through the intervals of the works.
 At the fSst surprise the Confederates in the second line grounded arms, but, seeing their assailCnts only handful, thought better of it, seized their mus kets and opened fire. Captain Weber and Lieutenant Bolza. with twenty five of their mer, were shot dead in their tracks. Then Michigan boy in the front rank brought down General Pet tigrew, one of the heroes of GettysS burg, with shot from his revolver. Pettigrew wasaone of the brightest of Lees bdgadiers. He had been wound ed at Gettysburg on July while l&ad- ing Heth's division in it's fight with Reynolds corps northwest of the town. His brigade of North Carolinians charged on the left of Pickett's line in the final assault and carried its ban ners across the famous stone wall near the Bloody Angle.' Had Weber's charge placed regiment hors de cona- bat it would not have damaged Lees army more than did the death of Pet tigrew.
 The exact figures of the casualties in WebeF's charge have never been made out. The Confederates declared that all but three of the Michigan troopers who entered their lines were killed. Two companies, or perhaps parts only of companies, rode in Web CTS squadron. At least one in three, possibly one in two, of the troopers was slain.
