A dispatch from Coal Creek, Tenn., .jV says: Notices have just been posted at ■-V all the mines here ordering all union miners to ston work. They are signed “The Committee.” JamesG. DeGruchy, for whom scouting squads have been on the lookout for two weeks, was captured at Harriman. He said he was a sharpshooter and used Government needle guns to fire into Fort Anderson. He thought he killed a cannoneer in the fort As he is a crack shot, that is probably true. Recovering the Bodies. Sault Ste Marie (Mich.) special: The steamer' City of Green bay arrived here from Deer Park. Its captain reports that eighteen bodies from the wrecked steamer Western Reserve have been recovered at Deer Park. The steam barge Nimick picked up a body in midlake, abreast of Deer Park and brought it in here. Philip Minch, son of P. G. Minch, arrived from Cleveland and with undertakers has gone to Deer Park. Startling Accusations. City of Mexico special: A formal written accusation against ex-President Barrillas has been presented to the Guatemalan authorities. The document bears several thousand signatures. It embodies the charge of murder of the Conriques brothers under the formal pretext of their removal, on the ground that they intended fostering revolution, ■while they were really victims of private vengeance. Wiped Out an Idaho Town. Boise City (Idaho) special: The first authentic news of the fire at Rocky Bar has reached this city. The entire town was swept away and nearly 150 people rendered homeless. Many towns in the southern part of the State are. contributing to a common relief purse, and considerable money, blankets, and clothing are now on the way to sufferers. The total loss will amount to about 850,000. Three Person, Burned to Death. Berlin Special: A serious Conflagration occurred in the village of Bobrownick, near Gorlitz, in the Prussian Silesia. Thirty-three buildings were destroyed before the firemen were able to get thd flames Under control. During the fire three persons were burned to death. Daniel Dougherty Dead.

FREE FROM THE TEST. Cholera Has Not Made Its Appearance In New York. A New York special, dated the sth inst, says: The prompt action of the National Government in taking steps to prevent the spread of cholera has done . much to reassure the people of New York, and as no new cases have been reported from the plague island iu the lower bay, where two women are suffering from cholera, much of the excitement has disappeared aud there is a feeling of security. Several silly rumors were circulated that the cholera had appeared in New York, but a rigid investigation by the health officers failed to reveal anything more serious than the cholera morbus or cramps. The president of the Board of Health said that not a single ease of cholera has appeared in New York and that the only cases this side of the Atlantic are the two at Hoffman Island. The i weather for the last day or two has faj vored the stamping out of the disease should it gain a foothold here. A cold wave from the northwest has sent the mercury down into the sixties and it is pleasant A Break for Liberty. Edward Huntley, a 25,year Detroit burglar; John Davis, a 5-year burglar from Kalamazoo, and "Lige” Bullard, sent from Detroit for six years for asI sault with attempt to kill, tried to esca'pe from the penitentiary at Jackson, Mich., by climbing the prison wall. Huntley and Davis were faiallv shot and Bullard was captured. August 16, 1891, both Huntley and Davis escaped by scaling the 1 walls. Huntley was caught in two months and Davis was extradited from Canada. Huntley and Bullard work on the Withington & Cooley contracts, but in different shops. Davis belongs to the marble cutting contract, a long way from the ■ other two men. ————— • The Eight Hour Law. . Acting Secretary of War Grant has ' requested the Attorney General to render yl an opinion as to whether the eight hour i law applies to work on levees of the < Mississippi River. Gen. Grant has little doubt himself that the law does apply to such work, but Congressman Catchipgs of Mississippi, who preferred the request. 1 originally thinks not, and said he would , bo better satisfied if the Attorney Gen- < eral would render an official opinion on t the subject The matter is one of great , importance to the people of the Missis- ( sippi River valley as with the present appropriation at eightr hours for a day’s work, less work will be done for the '•ame money. j A Mine Horror. Brussels special: A mine explosion | resulting in the certain loss of lives oc- ' curred at Borinage in the Province of Hainault. The Aggrappe coal mine was ' the scene of the disaster which was caused by accumulated gas. Men were at once put to work rescuing the living , and dead. Ten have been taken out and thirty others dead and alive are entombed ® below. The mine is the property of the ‘ Rothschilds and accidents there have ' been frequent One hundred and twenty- s , ode miners were killed by an accident in this mineon the 3d of May last, and another calamity in 1879 destroyed 123 lives. >' A Thieving Judge. f Judge Wm. R. Blaine; the ordinary of < Glynnn County, Georgia, and one of the most popular men in the State, was caught stealing money from the safe of Grocer Michaelson at Brunswick. The ' merchant was absent from the store at , the time. He has lost nearly 82,000 dur- ! ing the past six months,and he set a trap for the thief. A policeman was secreted in the store. The merchant went out, < leaving the outer door open. Judge 1 Blaine walked in soon after Michaelson ; left. He went to the safe and took a < handful of silver from tb» cash drawer. < He was at once taken into custody by j the policeman. Two Trains on the Jersey Central Railroad < rash Together. < -Burlington (N, J.) special: Twotrains f on the Camden and Amboy branch of the ] Central railroad of New Jersey crashed ( together at Whitehill and four of tho train hands were killed. The road is a ? single track one, and ’.either engineer * knew of the" other's approach un- < til they were within a few yards Os < each other.

Root oi Sheboygan. raid the Penalty, Tait Hall, the Kentucky desperado, was safely hanged at Wise Court House, Va. There was fears of an attempt al rescue, but none was made. Tho murderer, who had teen kept constantly under the influence ot liquor during t.h< last few days, made a speech on the scaffold. Tho drop fell at 12:34 p. m, and life was pronouned extinct seventeci minutes later. His neck was broken bj the fall. There were 3,000 people it and around the village, but they wore very orderly. A Strang,' Death. Mrs. Catherine Horan, wife of Jamoi Horan, captain of the canal boat “Haydon,” of Oswego, was instantly killed at Geres Lock, near Syracuse, N. Y. She was walking along tho decs of the boat and stumbled on a coll rope. She fell headlong, and a lead pcil which she carried in her hand v driven into the brain through her IcL eye, a distance of four inches. She wa,dead before her husband reached her. Fatal Flames. Mrs. Sarah Britton, mother of Judge Wm. P. Britton, was fatally burned at Crawfordsville, Ind. Tho servant girl had cleaned the floor with a composition of warm water and gasoline, and this formed a gas. which exploded, setting tire to Mrs. Britton’s clothing. She ran into the kitchen, where Mrs. Henry Palmer, her daughter-in-law, succeeded in smothering the flames. Mrs. Britton is still aiiye but she cannot recover. A Quarrel Ends in Murder. At Madison, Ind., During a quarrel between John Hoskins, an old soldier, and Albert Smith, a young married man, Hoskins called James Starling, a man of family, to his assistance. Smith warned Starling not to venture upon his premises, and when Starling shouted back, “Shoot if you want to,” Smith fired upon-him with a musket, killing him instantly. Smith was placed undet arrest. The Sultan's Troops Defeated In Battle. London special: A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company says that the story of the Sultan’s troops that they were victorious over the Anghera Tribesmen is unfounded. The Sultan s forces were defeated. Two hundred and sixty of the Sultan’s soldiers, it is said, fell into the hands of tho Tribesmen. The rebels lost but few men. The troops are leaving Tangier for another encounter. Gov. Merriam Pardons a Printer. Stillwater (Minn.) special: Lloyd Porter, editor of the Prison Mirror, a newspaper published by the coqyicts, has been pardoned by Gov. Merriam. He was sent here from Ramsey County in November, 1884, for murder and sentenced for life. He fired at his enemy while playing cards, and, missing him, hit and killed a bystander. He is 35 years old, single and a printer. Terrible Tragedy. A terrible tragedy occurred two miles and a half from Steubenville, Ohio. John Skinner, a hired man, murdered his employer, George Feetner, and his wife and fatally shot Feetner’s mother and then blew out his own brains. The two men, it appears, had quarreled about some money due Skinner on a horse trade, and Feetner had discharged Skinner. Coal Creek Rioters. Knoxville (Tenn.) special: Twentysix prisoners were brought here recently under military guard from Coal Creek. They have been held by Justice Kincaid as participants in the Coal Creek riots. They could not give bonds and were brought to the jail here for safe-keep-ing. It would be difficult to convict any one in Anderson County. Did It Himself. The man who claimed to have saved the Pennsylvania limited from being wrecked recently, near Enon, Pa., is said to have confessed that he himself placed the ties on the track and afterward removed them for the purpose of obtaining a reward from the company. Crouse Will Resign. Judge Lorenzo Crouse, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, has returned to Washington. Judge Crouse is the Republican nominee for Governor of Nebraska, and will resign his connection with the Treasury soon, to return to that State and enter the campaign. Princely Salaries.

■ ADVANCE OF CHOLERA. THE SCOURGE SPREADING IN GREAT BRITAIN. Sallora Spread the Dtaenao In Dundee and Aberdeen—Cases In Swansea and Glasgow—Measures Adopted by American ClUee. England Wilk Stop Traffic. London advlcec say: If all the deaths that are being reported from Asiatic cholera aro iruo there is no doubt of Great Britain * having a visitation of the dreadful scourge. From Gravest nd, Swansea, Glas.,ow nnd Dundee, towns in England, Scotland and Wales, reports como of deaths fixmi tho disease showing that tho efforts of the health officials to keep it out of tho country have proven fruitless. And now conies the report that a person has died from Asiatic cholera at Bolton, tho large manufacturing town which lies twelve miles northwest of Manchester. Tho place is one of the principal scats of tho English cotton manufacture and thousands of mill operatives live there. The permission given by tho health officials at Middl •sboiough for the landing of the crew ot tho steamer Gorona from Hamburg promises to have most serious results. The vessel was placed in quarantine after one of tho crew had been attacked by cholera, but In the meantime a number of the ship's company had departed for their homes. Six of them went to Dundee, where they reside, while another of the crew went to Aberdeen. Among those who went to Dundee was Mr. Walker, the engineer of the Gerona. shortly after his arrival there he was taken sick and died in a few hours. The physician who attended him says there is no doubt that nis death was due to cholera. When it became known that Mr. Walker was dead the greatest excitement prevailed in Dundee and also in Aberdeen, where tho seventh member ot the erew ashore had gone. Steps were at once taken by the health officers to isolate the remaining members of the crew in Dundee and the one in Aberdeen until all danger of their spreading the contagion is past. The residents of both places, however, believe that the men have been allowed to go about the towns long enough to spread the disease, it they carried tho infection, and there is widespread anxiety prevailing in every quarter of the towns. An extraordinary watch will be kept in both places for the first appearance of choleraic disorders. A sailor arrived at Swansea from Cork. He was found to be suffering with cholera, nnd was immediately removed to the. cholera hospital. The appearance of the disease in Swansea awakened the port authorities to the responsibilities of their position, and a : meeting was summoned to decide upon , measures for tho prevention of any fur- j ther invasion. The London local government board j has issued regulations requiring ship- ' owners, under heavy penalties, to re- | ta n aboard ship all foreign immigrants who are unable to inform the port medical officer of their destination and ad- • dress to enable the local authorities to watch them until all danger of cholera ■ is passed. No immigrant in a dirty i condition will bo allowed to land until , all the sanitary regulations regarding ; bathing, etc., are complied with. The I order will be rigidly executed. It will ' be the cause of considerable expense ' and annoyance to ship-owners, and will 1 probably result in tho cessation of the immigration of destitute aliens, at whom tho order is evidently aimed. It will not interfere with immigrants in transit across England on route for America. The schooner Helene, said to be destined for America; and which had been detained at Dover, is now being towed to Gravesend with a yellow flag flying from her mast. The correspondent at Odessa says: “Tho cholera mortality begins to show ; marked fluctuations, contrasting with . the previous steady increase. The official returns ignore Therson, Nicolaieff, Kishnoff and many other places where tho outbreak is not wide-spread. Therefore, the mortality is much above the official figures. Federal Authorities Crippled. Tho Federal authorities at Washington are doing ail that can be done, so far as they have authority, to prevent the introduction of cholera into this country. The United States Government, however, has not unlimited jurisdiction over the quarantine, of seaports, for this is largely a matter depending upon tho action of the State and other local authorities. Efforts made from time to time in Congress to extend the Federal jurisdiction in this .direction have encountered the opposition of those statesmen who are sticklers for Staio rights, and measures for the prevention and suppression of epidemic diseases havo been defeated by such opposition. There is an appropriation made annually for the use, of the marine hospital service for expenditure for sanitary purposes, but if the United States authorities had jurisdiction the ounce of prevention would be more efficacious than a ton of cure. It avails nothing If tho authorities of Now York and other large seaports enforce a strict quarantine if the disease is permitted to gain an entrance through | the romissnoss of the local authorities at New Orleans, Galveston or some olher port of entry. The only way by which a general and stringent quarantine can be established and successfully maintained, authorities say, is by an ' act of Congress and through the agency of the federal authority. General atten'ion having been aroused by the prevalence of the cholera In Europe, it Is believed that a public sentiment will bo created that will induce Congress, at tho coming session, to pass a measure that will place the question of establishing quarantine in charge of tin federal authorities. Expected in a Week. New York special: The snnitarj authorities, after a conference with Mayor Grant and Health Officer Jenkins, have decided that it would be foolhardy not to expect tho Asiatic scourge to appear here and they have acted as if they counted on its breaking out within the next week. As a result of the quarantine conference all immigrants from infected ports will, after individual examinations and the fumigation and steaming of baggage, be subjected to a rigid quarantine of from two to five days, ..Of cotirse the steamship companies, which will be taxed for this detention, will not be slow to act, and the result of the order will be a practical cessation of immigration from points that menace tho United States with rontaglon.

I THE PEST-I.ADEN FLEET DEATH BUSY AMONG THE PASSENGERS. Blx Dio on Munday-All Victim, to Bo Cremated—Contusion and I'anlo Succeed Mlrlh nnd Gatoty on the Normannla When the Now. of QunranUne Come., Frentlc lor Liberty. Six deaths from cholera occurred on tho quarantined pest-ladcu fleet off Now York harbor Sunday among the steerage passengers, Whether there had been any deaths among the cabin passengers has not been reported. Confusion and panic reign supremo on tho Norinannla. Tho i l,(X)0 odd passengers were kept in densest ignorance of tho true stato of affairs during tho entire voyage. They wore told that the deaths which had occurred were fiom natural causes, SaturI day and early Sunday morning they were laughing and joking at tho mis- | chance which detained them in quarantine and sure of being shortly released. At noon they learned bettor. News- ■ papers and letters wore brought on board. They discovered that they wore ! prisoners for an indefinite length ot ■ time, cheek by Jowl with tho terrible i scourge. The scene that transpired is i indes ribable. Women were crying and | wailing, men were cursing, and all were torroe-stricken. Ono passenger offered I the health officers $2,000 in cash to take ! him ashore. Others frantically laid I their entire fortunes at the feet of tho visitors, and begged that they bo allowed to hide in the boat on tho return trip. Tho health officers were overcome by the pitiable scene, and made haste to depart. | The panic on board tho Normannia | was somewhat quelled when the stoerI age passengers and tho sick liajj been removed. The steerage passengers were I transferred to Hoffman Island, which had been made ready for thorn, and the six patients were sent to the hospital pavilions on Swinburne Island. On board tho Rugia and Moravia the imprisoned emigrants were given very little knowledge as to what was going on, and they made correspondingly little trouble. But the air of gayety which formerly prevailed on the Moravia, tho original pest ship, had departed. Sullenly the emigrants were massed against the sails, watching the pleasant panorama which is always unfolding at this busy gateway of the sea, and wondering how long their banishment would last. The crematory retort on Swinburne Island has been kept at a white heat night and day since the first pest ship, the Moravia, arrived. At midnight Saturday it received its first dead, the three who died during the day. Tho todies of all who die in quarantine will be cremated, unless friends are prompt in making other arrangements. It is possible to embalm the bodies in such a way as to Kill all ch dcra germs, and conveniencies for this process are at hand. The four black hulls of tho cholera fleet swung lazily at anchor with tho tide Sunday. Nearest the city was the Rugia. A few hundred yards away lay the Moravia. Alongside it was the Stubbenhuk, and nearest the Jersey shore rode the big express steamer Normannia. When tugs carrying newspaper men approached the latter steamer a curious crowd was seen aft. This was before, tho passengers had learned of the danger they were in. Lottie Collins, of “Ta-ra-ra, Boom-de-ay" fame, restless and Irritated, stood tapping her toe on the polished deck. Beside her was the venerable John R. McPherson, United States Senator from New Jersey; on the other side, A. M. Palmer, tho theatrical manager. Clustered around the Senator were a half-dozen soubrettes, gay, careless, flippant, frivolous. Beside them was an Episcopal clergyman—white tie, round collar on, waistcoat. buttoned close to the chin, and blue glasses on nose. One of tho reporters hailed Senator McPherson and asked him If he would like to say anything to the country. Bidding the reporter wait a few minutes, he retired to the cabin, reappearing again with the following message: We are hero In the loner bay quarantined, with 500 cabin passengers and 500 •teerago. We have hnd five deaths on the ship since leaving Hamburg, but none from cholera or anything like it. so the surgeon informs me. We are much In fear, however, that with: 1,500 passengers and crew confined In narrow space in a hot climate disease may show Itself. It would seem to mo that it would be infinitely safer mid better if the passengers were allowed to go oh shore, not as a remedy for any existing ills, but rather as a preventive. I send this short note to correct an Impression that we have had cholera on board the Normannia during the trip. Then some one suggested sending telegrams ashore. There was a scramble for the cabin. Pens and ink, paper and pencils were hurriedly used. Not only the first cabin, but the second cabin passengers as well, hastened to send remembrances to their loved ones and assurances that everything was well with them. Fluttering in the air like a wpunded bird came the first letter from a fair prisoner. It wah a large, square envelope and it fell in the water away back near the stern. One, two, three, and ten more followed—a whirlwind of letters and unsealed..notes, twisted, to give them weight for propulsion. The small boat that the tug carried astern was manned by two oarsmen and all that had been thrown overboard were soon safe aboard the tug, and the pllot-house of the tug soon had a large collection of pfennigs, marks and silver quarters thrown to pay for the sending of the missives. The mail was all fumigated and sent to Its destination. Timely Advice. In view of the threatened cholera invasion the New York Board of Health has issued, a circular which, almong other things, contains the following recommendations: Don’t eat raw, uncooked articles of any kind, noteven milk. Don’t eat or drink to excess. Don’t drink unboiled water. Don’t eat or drink any articles unless they have been thoroughly and recently cooked and boiled, apd the more recent and hotter tho better. Don’t eat or handle food with unwashed hands, or receive it from the unwashed hands of others. Don’t use the hands for any purpose when soiled with cholera discharges; thoroughly cleanse them at once. Don’t doctor yditrself for bowel fiomplaint, but go to bed and send for the nearest physician at once. Send for your family physician; send to a dispensary or hospital; send to the health department; Bend to the nearest police station, for medical aid. Don’t permit vomit or diairhcre discharge to come in contact with food, drink or clothing. These discharges should be received in proper vessels and kept covered until removed under competent directions.

An attempt, which by the merest chance proved unsuccessful, was made at Kansas City, Mo., to hold up the Missouri Pacific east-bound passenger train. The train was late in leaving the Union depot, and a freight was sent out ahead of it on the passenger train’s time. When they reached Dead , Man’s curve, near Lee’s Summit, it was flagged and several masked men approached the engine. When they saw the train was a freight they turned and took to the woods. Officers are scouring the locality for the would-be bandits. No Speeches by Blaine. Senator Hale has stated to a newspaper man that Mr. Blaine will make no speeches during tho campaign, but is now engaged in writing a letter that was likely to appear at any day, which letter he devoted to some of the issues that are being discussed and in which he takes a deep interest. Exposition Points. ‘ The World’s Fair buildings will bo dedicated On the 21st of October instead of the 12th. William M. Singebly, of Philadelphia, will bring his big steer, the largest in the world, to tho Columbian Exposition. Information has been received that arrangements are being made in Paris to have the celebrated band of the Republican Guard and the Comedie Francaise actors attend tho Fair. The old whaling bark “Progress,” with its extensive museum of marine curios and relics of whaling voyages, is now in the harbor at Chicago, and is being visited by hundreds of people. It is announced that the Postmaster General of the United States has decided to issue a new series of postage stamps, with designs appropriate to the commemoration of tho discovery of America. The Chicago Schuetzen-Verein has issued an invitation to the sharpshooters of tho world to participate in a great international sharpshooters’ contest in Chicago in connection with the Exposition next year.* An interesting exhibit is to come from the Black Hills, 8. D., which will display in novel form the minerals found In the Hills. The exhibit when arranged wilt bo in the form of a two story and a half cottage. A huge octopus or devilfish has been captured outside of the Golden Gate, California, by some fishermen. It measured fourteen feet from the end of the body to the end of the longest tentacle, and has eight arms, and, as is usual with the fish, there are over 600 suckers on the arms. The body is nothing but a huge sack, and is soft and flabby; it is about two feet long. There are two eyes about an inch in diameter, and a faint resemblance to a beak and mouth. This specimen is one of the best In the country, and will be preserved and sen* to Chicago for exhibition at the Expos!* tlon. • '--..'L. > —i. LSj ■ (SET ■ -

M’LAUGHLIN THREW THE BULL riisFnninux Wrr.tlor <’ro»»-lltittook»4 the Brut, and Hat on It. Hoad. A .Seattle correspondent writes: Col. J. 11. McLaughlin, onco tho ahamplon collar-untUlbow wrestler of tho world, has just come off the victor In a struggle for life with a bull. Recently ho had an opportunity to show that he had not lost his former skill. Tie was crossing a ten-acre lot, tilled witli brush, stumw'ji and fallen timber. He was in the' center of tho lot, when ho saw a big, ’ red bull coming toward him. Supposing tho bull to boos peaceful disposition, Col. McLaughlin walked leisurely along until, warned by an angry bellowing, ho turned and saw tho bull within ten feet of him. There was no mistaking the animal's intentions, for Its head was down, tail erect, and feet pawing the earth. The Colonel knew ho was in for a struggle, but before he could move tho infuriated beast bad him on his horns. The wrestler’s presence of mind did not desert him. Quick as a flash ho seized the horns, and after the first toss-up he found himself on the back of the animal, but still clinging to tho horns. An instant later the bull bucked, and McLaughlin was lying in a brush heap ten or fifteen feet away. Tho man picked himself up just in time to receive a fresh onslaught. By I a dexterous feint he avoided the rush, J and with his right hand seized the left horn 6f the bull, and with his j left hand the nose ring. Tho contest then became one of brute strength against human skill and intelligence combined with unusual force and endurance. For a time the bull seemed to bo getting the best of the bout and the battle. The beast would toss his head in the air, .hurling the wrestler aloft, and bringing him to earth again with a crash anliong the bushes i and brambles. The athlete held his grip, however, and avoided being thrown under the feet of his adver- | sary. With his clothes torn from his body, and bleeding from many scratches and bruises, Col. McLaughlin had about made up his mind that the championship belt of the world for collar-and-elbow wrestling, which' hangs in his house, must go to the bull, when he thought of an expedient. Without loosening his hold he sprang to one side, placed his hip against the bull's shoulder, and exert- I ing all his strength succeeded in | cross-buttocking the animal. The I bull went heavily down, head under, and one horn driven deep into the I ground. The man had won the match. Then he was in the plight of the I hunter with the bear by the tail. He 1 could hold the bull, but he did I not dare to let it go. He sat on the beast’s head and rested. Finally he I drew his knife, and was opening it I with his teeth, to put an end to the I bull’s life, when some men, who had | seen the combat from a distance, I came to the rescue and secured the I bull. Col. McLaughlin’s clothes hung I in tattersand he was badly bruised I and scratched, but he still held th championship belt- J a Valuable Advice. I A gentleman who believed that to I an important extent clothes make the I man, even when the man is a royal | personage, visited the Comte de I Chambord at Frohsdorf a few years || ago. I Perhaps some of our readers do not | know that the Comte de Chambord I was the grandson of Charles X., the l last Bourbon king of France, and 1 that the French Royalists call him I Henry V., and hoped,until his death, ■ in 1883, to restore him to the throne. I The marquis of whom this story Is | told was a Parisian, a man of sash- I ion, and an ardent Royalist The I Comte de Chambord was glad of an I opportunity to talk over political as- I fairs with a man who must know I what was going on in Paris, so after I a few minutes’ chat he said, — 1 “Marquis, it is not often that I 1 have a chance to talk with any one I so well informed on the signs of the I times in Paris. What would you ad- I vise me to do?” I He waited for a bit of profound po- M litical philosophys I The marquis looked at “Henri V.,” ■ and hesitated. Should he venture on I a great liberty? But his advice had ■ been asked; as a royal subject he ■ would give it frankly. “Sire—mon- 9 seigneur,” he stammered, “I think 9 you had better give up your Gorman E tailor, and not employ one at Vienna 9 cither, but have your trousers made 9 in Paris.” « ■ “My trousers?” 9 “Yes. sire, pardon me; your trous- ■ ers are out of fashion.” 1 Tho Hee. ■ The most important function of th» 11 bee’s sting is not stinging, but its I use in doing the artistic cell work, ■ capping the comb, and infusing the I formic acid by means of which honey I receives its keeping qualities. The ■ sting is really a skillfully contrived jl little trowel, with which the bee ■ finishes off and caps the ceils when fl they are filled brimful of honey, I This explains why honey extracted ■ before it. is capped over does not keep fl well. I’he formic acid has not been I injected into it. This is done in s the H very act of putting the last touches ■ on the cell work. As the little pliant ■ trowel is worked to and fro with such I dexterity, the darts, of which there I are two, pierce the plastic cell sur. I face, and leave the nectar beneath ■ the tiny drops of the fluid which ■ makes it keep well. This is the “ar* ■ preservative” of honey. I In the Ark. ■ “There is a tradition that in the I Ark,” says an old writer, “ ‘sosoon as ■ ever the day began to break, Noab I stood up towards the Body of Adam, I and before the Lord, he and his sons ■ Sem, Ham and Jephet; and Noah B prayed, and his sons, and the women I answered from another part of the B Ark, Amen Lord. ’ Whence you may B note too, if the tradition be sound B enough, the antiquity of that tit B custom, obtaining still especially in B the eastern parts, ot the separation ot I sexes, or the setting of women apart fl from the men in tho Houses of God., B Which sure was a matter of no slight B concernment, it it could not be ne- B glected, no, not in the ark, in so ?B great a straightness and distress of H congregation.” fl ■,
