and deservedly so. He will, if we are
not greatly mistaken, be returned to
the Senate by an overwhelming and
crushing majority. We never had a
disposition to make this matter sec
tional and went into the Convention
to abide in good faith the decision of

that the reasonable and rejecting Con-

connection with that, when we con-
slider his personal popularity in that

umphant vote even there? We desire
no war upon this subject and expect to
say nothing more unless forced, but
have tried to present to the minds of

FAIR PLAY,
Year: 1871

There are people of every civilized
country under the sun who have mis-
taken ideas about the business of print
ing and the manufacture of newspa-


pers. They believe that a newspaper
can exist, thrive and flourish OH itself,


without any external aid, on the prin-
ciple on which the bear manages to
tide over the cold weather, without re-
quiring sustenance or board. Many of
the people of Canada labor under this
strange idea, hence it comes that some
OF our brethren Of the provincial press
are driven half yearly to dun and
clamOr for what is due them and to
brOwbeat readers who believe that they
can read their paper without money
and without price. Our brother of the
Allison Star, of the Goth uit., makes
and appeal al 77aiSericordidm, which
is fair sample of what printers are
driven to by the wanton neglect and
carele aness of those when they faith
fully serve. He says: 1--WE want
money and must have it. From the
date of our commencement to the pres
ent, we have not urged uDon our sub
scribers or advertisers the necessity of
paying up. There is end to all things,
anu we HUO lndJ tie l!tle HIS dTllNGu
when we cannot refrain from asking
for what should have been paid long
since. Printers, like other people, re-
quire money. We have large week
ly outlay in the wages, paper, ink, &c.


We therefore trust this hint may be
sufficient. Every straightforward
man will admit that there is something
desperately wicked in the system
which compels decent man to turn
bumbailiff and through out such vivid
hints and insinuations as the aboge.-
Every straightforward man will admit,
also, that the parties who are the cause
of such transformation are guilty
not only of funcharitableness but down
right dihOnesty, and should be pla-
card9d as swrindlers of the poor and
needy. The printer ought to be the
last man in the world subjected to
gouging. His profits are small-fOr
years often invisible-he has then to
toll early and late, to slave often when
mEn ar at rest, to steer his bark through
q multitude of abuse which, if justice
were done, should fall on other shoul-
ders, and-besides doing all this-he
must never loose sight of the interests
of his readers, nor cease to push them
forward with might and main.-IOr-

Probably the highest rate of speed ever at
tanned in locomotion has been by iceboats,


scudding before the wind with a cloud of
canvass over a smooth expanse Of ice. Up
on Lake Winnebago, between Fond du Lac
and towns at the opposite extremity, it is
said that speed of seventy-five or eighty
miles an hour has been repeatedly witnessed,
with an unobstructed service and high
wind. The fastest motion ever achieved by
the locomotive engine in England is record
ed in the books as at the rate of seventy
seven miles an hour, and this only for: q
short distance. 1t is difficult to devise a
mode of motion where there is less friction
and less expense for power than by ice-boat

From the Elm City New Haven Press


On Sunday number of boys were
playing on the old gas holder in Fair
Haven, out of use for over year. The
capacity of the holder was about 10000
feet but at this time there were only
about 1900 or 5000 feet of gas in 1t.
John O'Brien, aged fifteen, opened the
main hole, and proposed to light the
gas. One of the boys warned him OF
his danger but o. Brien replied that he
would do it if he did get killed. He
lighted match and threw it into the
hole. An explosion followed, causing a
shock which was felt all over the city.
Young O'Brien was thrown some thirty
feet into the air, and fell, striking the
heavy iron frame work and then the top
of the holder. He was instantly killed
The holder was tipped toward the west,
and the body rolled down nearly to the
edge, stream of blood marking its
course. Two spans of the iron frame
work were broken and thrown TO the
ground by the force of the explosion,
the rivets of the holder were nearly all
torn out, and the holder itself was blown
into a shapeless mass. The other boys,
it is supposed, got out of the way before
the explosion, though fears are are en-
tertained that one or two may have been
blown into the river.

With which her body she would dignity,
When from her bed she rises in the morning


To comb, and plait and tie
Her hair with ribbons colored like the sky?
What is il that her pleasure dscomposes
When she would sit and sing the sun away
Making her see dead roses in red roses.


And in the dewfall grey,
A blight that seems the world to overlay?
What is il makes the trembling leok of trouble
About her tender mouth and eyelids fair?
All me, ah me, she feels her heart beat double


Without the mothers prayer.
And her wild fears are more than she can bear,
To the poor. sightless lark new powers are


Not only with golden tongue to sing
But still to make her wavering way toward
With undiscerning wing;
But what to her doth her sick sorrow bring?
Her days she turns. and yet keeps overturnng,

For 'gainst her will, she thinks hard things con

And longs to be insensate like the clod.
Sweet Heaven, be pitiful, rain down upon her
The saintly charities ordained for such -
She was so poor in everything but honor.


And she loved much-lovcd much
Would, Lord, she had thy garments hem to

Haply, it was the hungry heart within her,
The woman's heart, denied its natural right,
That made her be the thing men call sinner,
Even in her own despite.

OF course not. A calf drinks milk
when it can get it, and milk being cash
at the cheese factory or in the general
market, here is so much loss. If milk
is withheld, something else must be
substituted, and this involves expense -
another loss. 1t takes time to feed
them, and as :" time is money!" here is
another item to 90 down in the debtor
column. Now, is it not clear that rails

the calf will make a cow or an OK the
one makes cheese and butter and finally
beef the other works several years and
then goes to beef also. These facts

be as pertinent as the one about calves,

There are numbers perhaps who
would be pleased with from one to three
colonies of bees if they knew how to
do it without much trouble If they
could have two or three hives that would
give them an average 100 pounds, with
no trouble Of hiving swarms, and little
trouble with their bees but to put the
surplus boxes in the hive in the spring,
and exchange them as filled for empty
boxes then remove them in the fall and
fit their hives for winter, they would be
glad to keep one or two hives or more.


Do not imagine that twenty large
hives can be kept, and each give a hun
dred pounds of surplus, in a field where
but twenty swarmers in small hives
have been kept, and some of them
have starved to death in the winter. If
the field has given to the swarmers an
average of ten pounds OF surplus and
their support, twenty non-Swarmers
hives could only get what the fields
yield.


Begin say with two hives the first
year, or more. according to the number
of bees in the neighborhood around you.
Build or buy as many large hives, with
boxes of an aggregate capacity OF l4O
pounds or more; take them 10 q neigh
Dor who keeps bees; agree with him to
transfer one of his best colonies to each
new hive in the following manner:


When the first swarm issues, hive it
in the new hive; then set the new hive
in the place of the old one. Take out
all the comb from the old hive, driving
out all the bees; the will 90 into the new
hive. Put all the worker brood in box,
and place it in communication with the
new hive, so that they can easily pass
from one to the other; they will hatch
out all the brood, and make a very large
colony. The queen will go into breed
ing with all the activity evinced in new
swarm. All the brood that was left to
support the old colony, with the force
that was left in the old hive, will gather
if in a field, 100 pounds of surplus. Fill
each of your new hives in this manner
with bees, and they will fill your boxes
with honey, if the season is favorable
one.


If you prefer it, you can have comb
and all transferred from the old hive to
your new hive. But it will be safe, and
! | think safest, TO wait for swarming and
| lHen transfer llleIH tS ABOVE NtlltClct


If the boxes are all on at the time Of
hiving the new swarm, the queen may
injure one or two of the top boxes OF
honey by depositing brood in them. If
the colony is quite large, there will be
very little danger of it. If the colony
is below medium, ii will be best to re-
move the top boxes, covering the breed
ing apartment with brood. After the
first season, the queen having cstab-
lished her nursery in the center Of the
hive, there will be little danger of brood
in the box. In this way a man can Sc
cure a hive and colony of bees for say,
including boxes, about eighteen or
twenty dollars, that will give him from
$25 to $40 worth of surplus honey an
ually, at % cents per pound. ! am
aware that this is new way, but
think it is a good one, and a very easy
one.-Ja&per Hd-en, in Country Gentleman

The Chnaman puts his tea in a cup,
pours hot water upon it, and drinks the
infusion Of the leaves; he never dreams
ofspoiling its flavor with sugar or cream.
The japanese tritulateS the leaves be-
fore putting them into the pot. In Mo-
rocco they put green tea, little tansy
and great deal of sugar into a teapot,
and fill up with boiling water. In Box
hara every man carries a small bag OF
tea about him, certain quantity Of
which he hands over TO the booth-keeper
he patronizes who concocts the bever-
age for him. The Bokhariot finds it as
difficult to pass a tea-booth as our own
dram drinker does to 90 by a gin pal
ace. His breakfast beverage Is Schitschaj
that is, tea favored with milk, cream,
or mutton fat in which bread is soaked.
DUring the daytime, sugarless green
tea is drank with the accompaniment of
cakes of flour and mutton suet. 1t is
considered an ineXcusable breach of
manners to cool the hot cup OF tea with
the breath; but that difficulty is over
come by supporting the right elbow in
the left hand, and giving a circular
movement to the cup. How long each
kind of tea takes to draw is calculated
to the second and when the can is
emptied it is passed round among the
company, for each tea-drinker to take
up as many leaves as can be held be-
tween the thumb and finger-the leaves
being esteemed an especial dainty.

threw in some coarse tea and little
salt. When this was near the boiling
point, she tossed the tea about with a
brass ladle until the liquor became very
brown, and then it was poured off into
another vessel. Cleansing the kettle rs
before, the woman set it again on the
fire, in order to fry paste Of meal and
fresh butter. Upon this the tea and
some thick cream were then poured,
the ladle put into requisition, and after
time the whole taken off the fire and
set aside to cool. Half-pnt wooden
mugs were handed round, and the tea
/ ladled into them-a tea forming meat
and drink, and satisfying both hunger
and thirst. However made, tea is a
blessed invention for the weary traveller
