~ LIGONIER, NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1875.

- THE OHIO DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. . The platform adopted by the Ohio Democracy.opposes interference with any of the constitutional powers re‘served by the States, guarantees protection to all citizens without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude. Favors one term-for Presidential services at a salary of $25,000 a year; economy in every department of the Government, Fe(eral, States or local ; the remnant of public lands to be reserved for actual settlers who* will cultivate the same, be they native or foreign born citizens; that the volume of curreney be made and kept equal to'the wants of trade; holding that legal tender can be made par with gold by promoiing the industries of the people and not by destroying them. Wants the National banks’ circulation retired. and legal ténders issued in theix place; that one-half of the eustoms-ought to be paid in legal tenders ;—favors free banks and a paper currenéy issued upon the faith of the general government; a tariff for revenue only;a complete separation of church and State—absolute freedom of,opinion,'purely secular education at the expense of the tax-payers, and no division of the school fund, or’ any portions of it; ‘denounces the Republican’ platform as an insult to the intelligence of the people of Ohio, and a base appeal to the secular prejudices; opposes all interference with social habits or customs, not in themselves criminal. It arraigns theé leaders of} the Ropubliczm party for mismanagement and extravagance or waste of the people’s money, the squandering of public lands -and general incompetence and corruption in office.« Cordially invites all men, without regard to. party, to co-operate in expelling' them: from power. . In short, wants the Governmaént administered as it wag in the purer days of the Republic. : As stated last week, the platform is a commendable one in all things except so far as it commits the Ohio Democrats to the nonsensicﬁa} and pernicious theory of the inflationists.— The resolutiolis upon the currency question are evidently a sort of compromise arrangement. There arve, to use the language of another, a great many people in the State of Ohio and elsewhere who would be well satisfied with gold dollars who yet have ‘a lurking conviction that by one more adventure into that blissful period of expansion to be ushered in by “more greenbacks” they will reap the haryost, IPny off their debts, zuyl be ready against the day of contraction. . They are still fiill “of the notion that tlie nOte the ‘government are- in themslves a species of wealth that can be created and diffused, and re‘main unpaid without detriment tothe public credit and without loss to the people forced to make their exchanges with such an inferior currency. It is ;fl'llitless to struggle against these theories, which are confined té no party: and to no country. They are only fo be met and expelled fromthe minds of men Ly years of sufferance and experiment; The hard money men have gained a point or two, on the resoiutions of last year, and- have shown wisdom in abstaining from a dogmatic'assertion of their views. When the national convention of the party is assembled it will be time enough to insist upon the definite disposition of this. issue apon the basis where the Democracy have heretofore stood and eorquered. £y

THe new statute of Stonewall .fzxckson, presented by admiring Englishmen to the State of Virginia, is to be brought free of charge to Norfolk. It will arrive in September, and be formally unyeiled and inaugurated at Richmond &t the time of the State agricultural fair in Novembér. The site selected for the statute. is on the north side of the eapitol. =

~IN Prussia, a contemporary informs wus, the State ‘supports the priesthood of all .denominations; but the Upper House of the Diet has pass: ed the law withdrawing State grants to the Catholic clergy.. The church is not allowed to pay its clergy and the State will not. . This restriction of the high Diet will put the poor-pi‘iests upon very low diet.

It is said to be two thousand years since men and women began to drink beer. /Eschylus and Sophocles found inspiration in it four hundred years before the Christian era, and called it wine of barley. A custom that has survived so long bids fair to continue. The true way to break it up is to coin a better drink as cheaply got.

Tne republican newspapers which are 'mean enough to aseribe the brief release of Tweed to pdlitical considerationsiare few; but they show a trustful reliance on the stupidity of their readers which stops little of sublimity.

" THERE were seventy-six deaths and fifty-three births in the city. of Washington last week. The death rate is increas‘ed" by the rapid decimation of the negroes upon-whom city life and dissipation bear heavily. :

Blifkins was down ‘in Chicago the other day, when he received a letter from his young wife saying; “on this lovely spring morning a bird is singing in my heart;” and old Blif. just looked wild a minute and then took a fieight train for home, muttering to himself: “Them’s Beecher’s sentiments, old man, keep your eye peeled.”

AR Je. i L o * | DUBUQUE, IOWA: ORSERVATIONS OF. NOBLE rO. e, O ADY lOHRISTS Glowing Panegyrics Upon the Grands i eur of Western Scenery. : LEfTRE RO.oRE. 2/ ~ DuBuvQUECITY, la., June 21,%5. M. Eprror:—Thursday morning our party stepped aboard the Western Express in Qimé to reach Chicago just as the beauties of city morning were developing, and amid’ the hum and buzz we took a cab to Wall Street Depot, rechecked our: baggage and went on our way: rejoicing. The first place at which I really caught inspiration was at Elgin, 111, the paradise of ‘time-pieces, the city of watches. It is built upon the sloping banks of the Fox river, and #he multitude of church spires and. the hum of machinery bespeaks it a model eity.— We passed otlier gems upon the bosom of mother earth, but of all the cities East or West, I believe Elgin is the Dest. St & The conductor now calls out Belvedire, where we have stop-off checks allowing us one week to visit kindred, friends on the Highland Farm of R. Ingall. One week later we started for Dubuque, Towa.. We crossed the Rock ‘river at Rockford, a beauntiful city surroundéd by ‘broad prairies and rggks. At Freeport we took the liehtning express, and here I put a copy of the Christian at Work in my pocket, as a sorf of life preserver inm crossing: the river,—for things began to look dubious to one [()xlg accustoms ed to the level country in Noble county. We, were ‘now, dashing on at ‘a furious ‘rate by spinning groumnd, waltzing trees, and dancing telegraph poles. The remainder of the journey that day seemed a delightful dream’ of enchanted scenery. Here I made a wish and regret .that it never will come to pass. It is this, that all my.dear friends at home could see what I have:seen, and hear what' I have heard, and feel what I felt, when 1 saw the hand-writing of deity upon the rock above me. “We now passed through ﬂxe long, dark tunnel at Dunlieth and crossed th}a:;\{ississippi on an iron bridge one mile lo{ng, which, I was told, cost :SS“,HUQ.,' Near sunset, we took o buss:to 759 Locust Street, to the residence of my brother, B. M. Richmond, wlere a’ hearty welcome and s%l‘xper of strzﬁvl_)erﬁ‘es' and ,cr'emn' awaited us. We found Gov. Hempstead, his fathér-in-law, still genial and pleasant in old age, reading constantly all the dailies andl weeklies; he has also a large library of .'l‘llQst in= {eresting and valuable works, . pe s Mgs. B. DODGE. LETTER NO. 2. ' ﬁl']"»l,‘(gl']!;,»li\., June 25.—My letter this week will only take in the passing events of two days—a gala day and the Lord’s day. And what.a striking contrast. ])ubuqu‘e, the key-stone-city of the West, has a population of twens: ty-six thousand, of whom one-third are Germans, and this week they celebrate the great Sr.:h’u%i‘zen_/"ast (shobting festival), and the weatlier, so far, favors the sharp-shooters. The procession is one mi'e in length and escorted by the Germania Band, with delpgates. and lay members from the town, dmid the roar of the cannon. -To-might is

the great concert at Turner’s Hall The prizes for the occasion amount to

the handsome sum of three thousand dollars. - The entrance arch of evergreens bears the inscription, “Schuetzenfest Park. No.-of Targets, 1200.” . Brother and family drove with us to the scenes, but the spirited horses soon became restless at the firing: and we drove on to Glenwood Cemetery, to Dubuque Driving Park, then to Kelley’s Bluffs. Up .there, between the earth and heaven, we looked down uporn the magnificent city of brick, one hundred and fifty feet below us, and over the varied scenery of its beautiful surroundings. There are thousands of broad acres stretched out on

the Mississippi river without habitations. ITere I see immense rafis of lumber and shingles tugged along by Doats. . :

the lermit. llis cave remains here yet. He was found dead among heaps of gold. The Bluffs are full of mineral oar, and men in their ambition to get it often spend whole' vears in dig-. ging and get nothing. Our guide today interviewed a muddy min‘ef as he came-up from sixty feet under ground. lle wearily replied, “Not yet-to my’ treasure found.” From this point we see throngs of people on the levee and nice boats coming in and going out of port, like white swans upon the bosom of the waters.

This is a day of interest to me. In the morning we attended Rev.

These offerings of the children were worthy of applause, while the organ made the arches ring. At 5 o'clock we wended our way to St. Raphael’s Cathedral, to the vespers. Here the ceromonies were grand, apparently devout, and the mue o e e

sic, the chants and responses -were void of eriticism. The Sisters of the Holy Creoss were all kneeling before the altar, while a statue of the Virgin Mary stood out in bas-relief from the wall. The Rev. Father Herberg, a member of the Order of the Precious Blood of Jesus, led the service.. On Main street at the First Methodist Church Rev.

But we were happily disappointed, for at 8 o’clock’ we heard melodious voices break forth,:with the aid of harp -or organ, and we heard the words, “Come to Jesus just now.” The windows being open, I looked and, behold, a cloud of witnesses arose and, clapping their blaék hands, resg)gndFd, “Come to Jesus just now.” I thought of Gabriel and bis trump. °I thought of the confusion of tongues at Babel’s tower.

DEDICATION OF MASONIC HALL Grand Demonstration of the Masonic o 5 : Fraternity.:: 1+ . :Thursday of last week was a great day for South Bend: The Elkhart Observer says: The city was crowded with visitors. The morning dawned auspiciously, but a heavy rain commenced falling just.as -the procession took up'its linefof march, The display was a very creditable one, there having been several thousand Masons in line. The Knight Templars turned out in strong force, delegations bheing present from Niles, Kendallville, Plymouth, Warsaw, Laporte, Sturgis and Valparaiso, ‘besides the South Bend Commandery, which is very large.— The Sir Knights formed the great -attraction of the celebration, lending particular interest thereto by their showy uniforms, splendid marching and rapid evolutions.- Chapters and Blue l.odges were ‘present from all the neighboring cities, towns and villages, Elkhart being more largely represented than any other place:. There were numerous bands present from abroad, chief among which was the Silver Cornet Band of Elkhart, which received its full meed of praise; and. the boys deserved it. They played well and showed to advantage in their tasty uniforms. The procession having been interrupted by the storm necessitated a change of programme.— The new hall therefore was dedicated in the afternoon instead of at’ nighg, and the oration was delivered-at night in one of the public halls. It was very fine, as was alsothe singing of the glee club. - South Bend ought to be proud of her glee club, and the Masons ought to be proud of their Grand zPljelute.— The new hall is a magnificent affair, which every Mason ought to resolve to visit at the earliest. oppoy'tilnity.e The citizens of South Bend did every thing in their power to render the cel-. ebm%i’on'a success. The fire department paraded; making a good impfés‘ sion on the visitors, while the water works’ display capped the elimax, thirteen streams of water being thrown «t one time. Verily it- was good to have been there. . e e

~ Economy of the Honey Bee. E [Continued from last week.] .~ = Behold the little bustling bee, - Soaring aloft in greatest glee; | - Improving every precious Hour * . * ‘ .In gathering stores frpm flower to .ﬂo}ver. . ~ Now, itis well known that there are three kinds of bees in a colony, viz.: the Queen, the qunes and the Work- | ing bees.. But their physiology and great phenomena are not so well known, not having been studied by the masses of bee-keepers, who-seem - to be almost entirely ignorant 6f these ‘peculiar and interesting points, for it’ is quite amusing to hear old and in some respects experienced men say that the worker bees are neither male nor female, but of neuter gender ;- that’ the queen lays a certaii number of | eggs, which they call a laying, as per hens; that this one laying produces a swarm of bees, and so on through her life; and, again, that the drones are mere z}tlisance, not of any use. Now, '{especting the queen, it is well kn(’),w.'n, 'hat she flies out'and meets the drone, ‘within three weeks of her birth, and. becomes impregnated on the wing, high up in the air;° that they come down together, the drone perishing, | but the queen making her way s'i~ntqfth‘e.' hive, being fecundated for life. . 1t ig known that she lays worker eggs and those alone through her life, the-av-erage of which is about four' years, and that if, on the other hand, the queen fails to becomq i)npl'egpat_eﬂ, that is to meet the drone within three weeks after her birth from the iegg-,_ she remains a virgin. queen during her life but lays eggs n‘Otwithst;mding, ‘which, however, produce only di'pj‘)GS, .gonsequen_tly she is worthless, .= . - . Now; respecting the process of laying eggs by the q»ueen,‘aml the various phenomena connected with this process, as described by various autliors . in different countries, of which I shall : name only two or three, viz.: . Mr. L. L. Langstroth, of Boston, Mass., & highly ‘educated gentleman, and who is well known!in the United States as: an appiarian, or bee keepes, and, by the. way, the inventor of the first'movable’ frame hive in America; Messrs.Dziertzon,_and ITuber, classically (’(111"(3_‘1\(26(1 (}ermg’in gentlemen, who have devoted ‘much of their lives to the study of the history, anatomy, physiology and phenomena of the honey bee; thus not. only of the queen, but of the’ drone and the worker, in their glass Hives and with their microscopes, are féu;ids to agree in, their observations as well as Cooper and Swammerdan,’ who. flourished about the middle of the: seventeenth century, and who were highly celebrated physicians, surgeons ; and anatomists and spent a great deal of labor and pains in the ' anatomical: examination of the threekinds of bees named above, and thereby were enabled to and did demonstrate to the effect that the‘queen bee‘waßs feminine. whose province it was to lay the eggs and to govern tlie colony, and there~ fore called her the mother bee. Thatthe drone was the male bee, and therefore the father bee. That the \&'o;‘kéf~ ‘bees were females not fully developed,. whose province ‘it is’ to do all the labor, ‘guard and protect the queen, etci,’ Now, these. celébrated authors, as well as others, for-instance, Arist_(f)@lé;' Caulumela, Virgil and Vato, all who flourished before Christ’s time, .all agree, we-say, in respect to the following, as well as a thouszﬁnd ot_her"ph-ef nomena, to instance the queen’s prq‘cess of laying reggs: that she sticks. her head into the cells, as"they suppose, to' examine the condition-of the cells; that she then curves her body rouhd-and drops in an egg, and éQmétimes two or three, or more, and so on: with every consecutive cell; and that after ‘she has thus passed over ohe side of the comb she slips over to the other side and is found to lay the same. amount quite exactly opposite to those on the first side, so as tonmaintain an equilibrium—a proper balance, as it were. That she is attended by her ‘train, or body guard, who examine each cell and devour all the superfluous eggs, leaving but one in each cell, which is furnished with a small amount of fluid, called larve. Then about from the third to the: fourth day a small white worm isﬂeVélbped,@:i the larve state or condition of the bee; thence the pupa, and the erysalis; and lastly, the fully developed bee. But when the brood or young bees are in: the erysalis or third state, the workers furnish them with stores as’ sustenance a few days. They then cap over’ the cells with a compound substance composed of wax and: pollen, whieh, placed under the microscope, is found to be full of very fine holes, evidently | designed to furnish airto the brood:. And it is to be observed that these caps are a little rounding, orconvex, in order, as is supposed, to yield themore readily to the ‘pressure of the brood within. = ° : s iR

We have already stated that it is the province. of the working lgées*;to.! perform all the labor. consequetly the building of the comb is their tirst duty, preparatory to the gathering ‘of stores. - Now, it is to be remembered that as there are three kinds ot bees in‘the hive, there are also three ‘different kinds and sizes of cells; Whiely are thus adapted to the several kinds. of bees. . The worker cells are the smallest, but of a uniform size; the drone cells still larger, the queen cells the largest and deepest, all' be¢ing of a uniform but peculiar shipe, viz.: that of a hexagon, being six-sided: And here we are most favorably impresseds with the idea.of a clear manifestation of the divine wisdom and economy of God in the instinctive genius ‘and: mechanism of these little animals.: The combs and cells are composed of a substance secreted in the bodies of the bees, cilled the fat of the bee, which-exudes from their bodiés in the form of small scales, and which may often be seen lying scattered over the bottom of the live. ' Thus we: notice one of many of the great errors embraced by, the masses of the people not well” versed in apiachlture, who suppose it to be the wax gathéred by the bees; whereas, there are only three substances. g‘athex‘,ed Dby the bees, viz.? propolis, pollen and the sacchatine matter or sweet juices of the various flowers. ~ More on these interesting ‘points in my next. ~ G.B.

< . Religious Intolerance. _ _,[;From‘tl}e Petu Sentinel.]® - o ~_Somio time-ago, we mentioned t{w signs of the times, which indicated another know nothing crusade in the. spolitical world. Those indieations are still growing and it ds very evident that the spirit of religious intotérance s sought to be again evoked; and fopm ‘a prominent feature /in the political _qumpa(i‘gn'-of 1876. The warfareis to ‘be made upon the whole foreign population; but particularly ‘upon ,timle', ‘Cathelic Church, which is principally -composed of foreigriers and itis hoped that; by arousing the prejudices of the protestant denominatiofis againstthat Jorganization; a heavy vote will be sé‘cured tq uphold the republican party, ‘whether it should- be under the leadership of Grant; or any of the other aspirants for Presidential honors} who are seéeking to supersede him. : ~ The founders of our republic gudrded, with the most jealous care, against all interference with religious opinions, institutions, sects or creeds. Not a word was admitted into the constitution which would give rise to the‘ological wrangings or disputations.’— 'The free exercise of religious opinions, was rguaranteed 'to -all and an_ ‘open field ‘given to every person,sect ‘or creed, to worship God, according to the dictates of conscience., Under 'those liberal provisions the Catholic ‘Church has- grown up, side by [side, with the othér denominations.and has obtained a healthy deévelopmerit and . an independent position among 11%16 ecclesiastical 'organizations of the country. s[’All the{apowei‘ “or influence it ‘possesses, has been obtained, indépendent of government influence, or’ government aid.

Our school books, where the rising generation obtain their first impressions, are highly anti-Catholic. They are largely interspersed with articles, reflecting severely upon Catholicism,; This has induced that dénomination to demand=#-division of the school fund, that they™may have ‘schools of their own, free from this influence, and thus obtain an equal ‘thance with other denominations for ‘the propagation: of their doctrines..— This cannot be consldered as™ unfair. The school books, which are used, are cgompiled under anti-Catholic influ“ences.

[s The Whisky Law..: i ~ TFor more than ‘twenty years there: has been a continued effort to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquers as a beverage, and for twenty years the effort has failed. Somefimes the law . has' been rigid, and at other times it has been easy. But' no one i'et has produced the desired effect. The battle has been a vigoroug one, and never .ends. 'The enemies of ‘the traffic are determined it shall . go down; whilst: its friends are standing by it with a détermination that is worthy of a better cause. Thereis about the, same amouiit of liguors drank whether there is any law or not. From about the first of March to June, according té the dgcisions.and opinions of the knowing - ones there has been ne liquor law;and ; it is:a fact that can not be denied, that the use of ardent spirits’ has not in-. ‘ereased. . During that;time the . num- ' ‘ber of drunken men on the.streets hisy not increased. Rows and difliculties growing out of the use of whisky ‘are:. just as few as they were when the law of old Bill Baxter was the pride of the prohibitionists. If aftér a trial of three months without a law, and: the abusé of the traffic does not increase in the least,"why should we spend go much money and time to.accomplish.a thing that will not.do the least of good? Ten days aégo‘ there was . not -a licensed saloon in: the towA of, Lebanon, but-whisky was sold on gl-" most every corner. - Now eight doors are opened by tlie sanetion of law, and you canmot see the slightest difference L in the effect, and we verily believe " that if eight more were opened, . that . the result would be the same. #bout' so_many men drink whisky, af v""they will drink ‘it whether there is one saloon ‘ot _a dozen and-they drink about’ 'so much, and if*fthere was no saloon, they would go to drug houses'and get it there. They will have it, they will use it, and there'is no statute that can j.pne’verrxr_g it, and when & drunkard is < reclaimted, it is' not by the force of law, it-7is by an appeal made to the noble elements: of his nature. You “may lead a man awdy from the saloon, “but’ you cannot drive” himfrom’ the «dram’ shop. The 'present law is the. most sensible vne thz}t, was ever madein our State.
