BREVITIES.

A skambtresb’ exclamation--A-hem! Oliver Wendell Holmes and James Russell Lowell.began life as law-students. Ice continues to be broken indifferent parts of the country for drowning purposes. 4 Why is a Judge’s nose like the middle of the earth * | Because it’s the scenter of gravity. The entire product of writing paper in all the mills in this country, is about forty tons a day. Why is a minister near the end of his sermon like a tagged urchin? Because he’s toward (tor’d) his close (clothes). C. B. Pierson, a dairyman, of Greeley, Col., has churned out 8,000 pounds of butter this season, from which he realized $2,800. It is claimed that Senator Jones has discovered on one of his Nevada farms a mine of Castile soap, but the story will hardly wash. A couple of Bridgeport (Conn.) families have builf a twentydbot board fence between them, so. as to keep from tearing each other’s hair out.

There is a postoffice at Sonoma Township, Cal., but it is without a master, because none of lhe applicants could give the $4,000 bond required. t Dr. Holland thinks the cure for) gossip is culture. He says good-natured people talk about their neighbors because they have nothing else to talk about. A lantern-maker in Tokio is now making a great number of with the likeness of an eagle on the side for the American centenary celebrations next year. A Dooly County (Ga.) man who ran away from his family and went to Texas writes back that he took this step because he couldn’t make up the beds to suit his wife. Have we ever thought before of asking why a fast black horse-is like a patent preparation of india-rubber? If we have not, it’s because it’s an inky-racer.— New York World. Oregon gives an annual premium to the man who kills the most squirrels in the course of the year, and it went this year to an old chap over seventy, whose tally- was 1,538. “That,” said the tramp, “is the top buckwheat; it has been used to keep the others warm, and I don’t eat no coverlids.” So he laid it one side.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Said a young man to his bachelor uncle: “What advice would you give to a young man who was contemplating matrimony?” “I should advise him to keep on contemplating it.” Slrs. Mary A. Murphy, of Locke, Cayuga County, N. Y., died recently at the age of sixty-two. She had been afflicted with elephantiasis, and had attained? to the enormous weight of 450 pounds. Some Norwegians have discovered a large lake about fifteen miles from Beaver Pass, in which the fish are so thick that a man could walk across the lake oil their backs; at least the discoverers say so. Russia is, it is said, going to abolish the passport system, and the Minister of Finance has already declared hisyeadiness to dispense with the 2,500,0(16 of roubles which the passport fees annually’ bring into the imperial exchequer. A lady riding on the cars the other day was amused by the question of a little girl who, hearing the conductor cry the stations, looked up into her mother’s face and innocently asked: “ Bay, mamma, do we get out at tlie next holler?” A jury at Toronto have given a verdict of SSOO against the commercial age ncy of Dun, Wiman & Co., being thesum lost by a subscriber who, on the representation as to a customer’s standing by the defendants, made advances to him to that amount. The Supreme Court of Minnesota has affirmed the constitutionality of the law providing that a State Inebriate Asylum shall be built and maintained at the cost of the licensed liquor-dealers of the State, and work on the institution will be begun at once. An odd ceremony took place in the principal circus at Berlin at the coinple-. tion by a monkey of a service of twentyfive years. Jocko was formally installed in the place of honor at a grand banquet, and, besides his sawdust acquaintances, made his grimaces of thankfulness to a number of prominent military men and lawyers of the city. p Georgia is gradually filling up with' cotton factories, which continue to arise on every hand. The Memphis Avalanche,' in noticing the latest enterprise of this kind, predicts that the time is not far distant when a very large proportion of the cotton grown in the South will be manufactured at home, not only for domestic supply but for export. Alfred Cope, an old merchant of Philadelphia who died a few days ago, gave $25,000 to the Zoological Garden of that city on condition that no liquor should be sold on the ground, that the animals should not be unnecessarily molested, and that the society should raise the additional sum of $125,000, which has been done, and the society has agreed to accept the conditions. The sugar interest of Louisiana, which was aforetime the basis of prosperity in that State, is now giving promise of renewed vigor. The crop this year is estimated at about 190,000 hogsheads. This is the largest crop produced during the past thirteen years, being fullv one-third larger than last year, and equal to about half the average yield of the ten years immediately before the war. The statement is made by the President of a life insurance company that it is a fact that women live longer in tilts’ country than in any other. They are l less Robust and muscular than the women of other nations, but their tenacity of life is strong, and their constitutions’ are sufficiently enduring to keep them alive considerably longer than their appearance, as a general thing, would warrant. A remarkable instance of calculation was recorded at Alymer, Cap., recently, where a barber named Jenson, fora bet of fifty cents, ran under the cars of a railway train that was passing at a round speed, He won the wager, though he lost the heel of one boot by awheel that came unpleasantly close as he emerged. The man who lost the bet said he had expected to win and get a couple of dollafs for attending the inquest. „ The Dominion Government has sent a dispatch' to the Government of British Columbia announcing the abandonment of ffie construction ot a railway from Esquimau to Nanaimo. It also proposes to pay $750,000 to British Columbia as compensation for the delay in completion of Uie Pacific Railway. This amounts to an indefinite postponement of the commencement of the work on the railroad. The scarcity of labor in our large cities, and the eagerness with which men out ot work grasp at every opportunity of earn-

ing a little money, were recently iliutt trated in New York. The management of Booth’s Theater advertised foe snmd men over six feet tall to act as auxiliaries in a forthcoming spectacular trtgeay. fn answer to the advertisement' ovfer 1,000 giants presented themselves- for tagage.' mjmt at fifty cents a night.' >q- r i The other day, while tki' Vtaflnfien «t‘ the saw-mill; Camberdown ship-building yard, in Dundee, Scotland, "stere engaged cutting up a large log of (Quebec yellow pine, they laid open several (sections of a wasp’s nest. The nest being near the cehter of the tree, the animals, several thousands In number, must liavebeeninclosed for upward <rf a hundred years. Tlie prisoners, are in a good state of preservation,and are evidently of the Wasp ‘species, with very large wings in comparison to tlie size of the body. Vesuvius, after a long period of rest,., gives signs of an approachlhg' eruption. The large crater which has been.formed sipce the last disturbance emits a black smoke, Always a symptom of volcanic activity, although the time, which may elapse between the first symptom and an actual'eruption is hot definitely known. In December, 1854, similar appearances indicated approaching activity, which did not set ip, however,

A California Transaction in MustangFlesh.

A large crowd gathered yesterday on Fourth street, in front of the Coiirt-Hoose, attracted; by the moving through the streets of one of die old ‘ buildings from John Taylor’s tot. The brifldtogwas about fifty feet long and had been mounted on four wooden truck-wheel'll with a pair of wagon-wheels in front, to which a team of six stout mules were hitched. 'Aftef many tugs the old house the driver yelling and the mud flying’ dll over tlie side-walk,-scattering the crowd and bespatter* ing the goddess of liberty on the dome of tlie Court-House.- After an hour’s time* they succeeded in dragging the building about 150 feet. Within a few feet of the crossing from tlie Recorder’s office to Evans’ store they stuck fast, owing to, a slight rise in the'street hiade by the crossing. The) driver shotrtdd himself hoarse, toe six big'mules floundfereSfi about in the mud, put not an inch would they budge the old bdilding. 1 Tlie 1 crowd increased and bets were mafic thSt 'they would hever start it again. A teamster from the redwoods, with four, mustangs, had stopped to watch the perforimtfice, a smooth-faced, athletic young fellow. He said nothing urttil, rbused perhapshy a splash of mud, he walked to the front, Wiping dn his sleeve, and said: “I Ain’t got but $3, but I’ll bet every cent bf it that my four mustangs will start that rookery out of there.” There was a derisive laugh from the crowd and half-a-dozed takers. “ Put up the money,” said the tdaihster. . “If I had mote or knew whefe td‘'JjdrroV any, I’d see, the last one of'yotp’ The "bet tvas token. Jerry Fanner held stakes, tlie six mules w6re takeii 'o.ff aiid’ the rotir mustangs hitched on. Meanwhile the interest of the crowd increased and bets .were frdely made with big'odds against the teamster. WUeii beady. to start the excitement was at a.hjgp piteh. The little mustangs bent' to 'their wqrk, but the hoyse did pot move. ’Nothing daunted, the teamster, in answer tp,.tne crowd who were chaffing him from all quarters, said: “ Jf Jim S.fiaw was and bet fifty dollars that (j 'j- could start it. tern warned' up. vet.” “I’ll . bqt you titty dollars' against qne pf ypur> horses/' said a well-known liveryman, “that you Can’t pull it five, feet.” *‘lt’s a whack,” saia the'teamstei-j “ put up coin.” The money was: liaritjed to Jerry Farmer, tlie stakeholder.

He walked .up to each horse successively, tapped him on, the rump jwitfi the butt-end of his black-pake, and sijid to each: ‘‘Stand up there nopuin your harness." For the first time he mounted the near wheel, seized a single reip, turowf his team off, “ haw,’;’ them back “gee,” bracked his whip, gpve a yell and, as tliey straightened, the un wieldly load rose over the obstruction like an old hulk,over a swell at sea, greeted by a buftt- of applause from the bystanders. The mustangs pulled for about twentyfive feet and he stopped them. “ You see," boys,” said the teamster, as he got down,' “I’m with them all tlie time and knowjust what they can do, and”—with a childlike smile —“just when to make ’em do it.” As he dropped the stake into his overalls pocket he said: “ I’d give fifty dollars out of that ar stake if Jim Bhaw had been here to see that team pull. Jerry, I’m dry; let’s go oven to Buck Williamson’s and take a dnnk.”—Sacramento Record.

Honey Bees.

Contrary to the excellent Dr. Watts, the busy little bee does not improve each shining hour by any means. Whether the hours be sinning or clouded, the Jittle busy bee only works in the flower At all other times it simply stays at home and eats, from which an "excellent moral may be deduced for the benefit of those sour old crabs who insist that the whole duty of man is to work like a steam-enl gine night and day, winter ani summer; If we were to imitate the little busy bee, as a matter of fact, we should be idly twothirds of the time. . - Applying the Dr. Watts beedbeory to people again, we find that facts about the age of bees knock the breath completely out of all goody-goody theories; that a man must work alibis life inorder to live a tong time. A queen bee, whd hever works any, will live four years, w’liiie your working bee, in ’ the honey season, lives only from four to sjx weeks. There’s a comment on the healthfulness of labor. Even through the winter, when the bees cannot leave their hives, the working bee only lives about six months. The working bees will fly as tar as four or five miles to get honey. They are uncommonly strong for their size. A curiously, intensely fascinating employment is the rearing of beeS, and studying their habits and laws. Part of it actually seems like witchcraft. Bees build three kinds of comb, called worker comb, drone-comb and honey-comb, the difference between them consisting in the size of the cell. The honey-comb is to store honey in, and is built in the upper part of the brood-combs. All the rest except honeycomb is brood-comb, for the rearing of young bees. There are three kinds of bees in a hive, a queen bee, the

ood cell kind, of a fide tie ItotChed out. qPthaf tail. ’’Tito btedlsWibnly b in the hive, ana nays all the eggs for the n«ta r warms.

' lit- is popularly supposed tKw the' queen bee in a hive die£t<ft»fc tilled br an accident, that the rfest ODthe hive all perish. It is a popular mistake. -If a hive of beeS lose their queen, they fiednt to know" that they have lost their and manifest great alarm; but that does not hinder them from repairing the loss. They set' to work at once to rear anotheftßlbtfier for themselves. How? <Th!si also is one of the odd things in bceology. The workers select an ordinary workerldell containing an-egg, and build it oirt and elongate it Ull it becomes of the siisefaltoislfiipC of a Queen-bee cell. After the laiwa hatches in this* tall’ the iWirlftirJbeetf:'UOgitp and feed and stuff’ it with all their might, as cjne w-ould fatten a turkey for Thanksgiving. Consequently tlie wOriter-larva grows and thrives and fattens, and in time comes to be a queen bee. - -, ; - The food which they feed to the young queen that isto be is a mixture of honey and beß-bread<” * This food is called by t|ie bee-keepel- “ royal jelly.’ r The working bees are all females^—imperfectly-de-veloped females—and it follows that if you take any young workihg bee arid give tier plenty to eat and room >'to grow, and nothing to do, in time she will become a queen bee. There’s a moral as is a moral iprydu. The drones are all perfectly-developed male -bees—lazy gentlemen who bask in the sunshine and eat. A male bee 1 never works any. The bees Who do all the work, ihside and out, are all females—im-perfectly-developed female bees. It reqdires sixtetaf days to hatch a qtieen, twenty-one days to hatch a working bee, £' id longer to hatch a drone than any of' e rest/ twenty-four days being required for that.

The female working bees appear satisfied with their lot in life, in general, and fully persuaded that it is their mission to make honey for the gentlemen drones to eat. But, ma#k you, as winter approached, or if there has been a poor honey harvest, tlie female working bbes appoint a regular day of knock-down and drag out, and Sting all the gentlemen drones to death with a fearftil slaughter, so that the store qf honey may last the queen and the workers through the winter. There’s another moral from tlie life of the bee; and it is not found in Dr. Watts, either. Nature does not provide the gentlemen drones with stings, so there is nothing left for them but to siibmit to be stung to death by the infuriated females. Yet another' moral not to be found in Dr. Watts. IHow the morals do come in in showers long htoe!) "The female bee has to do ill: the work, but she also is alone provided with a sting.; Very -phoper, indeed. 1 Bee-koepers have now leairued to Control the rearing of bees almost at'pleasure and produce them of; siich kinds and in such numbers as they 1 ‘riant. Thip gives beekeepers great advantages in Tearing queen jees from any given clioioe stock, for jfoodqjd-stock is as important-in bees as .lt ain horses or people. < An entluisiastio. beekeeper some -tu»<? ago tried a very singular experiment. He took a frame of .broodr-cejja full of young, pnhatched bees, away from the hive and put it by itself. There was ne queen-bee pell among them, and of->course the young beef?, as tliey hatck’fd. oqt, / never saw or heard of such a creature as a queen bee. Nevertheless, with that sfrangu, miraculous instinct which is past, finding out by the wisest of us, these yoitng -.bees .yere inpateiy conscious, of tfieir loss, and, : as ■ soon as they could move about, built opt and'etongafed a cell, and if od the larva in it and actually reared a queen, for themselves. When we -find ouf,how, these young bees knew: enough to do that we, shall oe some centuries wiser than-we are now. ,> • ‘ ’ “Let; me show you a queen bee,” said our friend. He dived down into the bunch bf bees- with his hand, jpst as you would pjutyour hand into .»• bag of peanuts,j shoved she bees aside this way and that, and finally held up in his fingers the royal lady herself. She was- .nearly twice as large .sis the resfcmid of a -shapely form, Iwitii a shining, downy cqsrf all over her, land royal of great brilliancy across her queenly baqß. Cincinnati Commercial. i

A Piute’s Fearful Fate.

This morning a Chronicle reporter’-ob-served a dejected PlutlS standing on the ctirb of South C streei, and (wonder of ’wonders!) holding in his- arms a baby!' The brave glanced uneasily about trim as' iif fearful that his degradation would be> observed, and seemed to take anything but kindly to his charge. Presently two ‘squaws emerged from the house behind him, each carrying a pappoose on her back, and the three waddled off down the I middle of the street. The reporter shortly afterward had the honor of shaking 'hands with Capt Bob, the Piule swell, iriisplendeiit in a green blanket and a plug Ihht, and sought a solution of the baby !puzzle. The Captain smiled several inth- ' es; and affably explained that the reporter Iliad witnessed one of the domestic penal- ; ties of the tribe. When twins are born ’ to a Piute who is not favored with grown'up daughters lie is by Piute law obliged ito take full charge of the superflousin(funt until it? is able to walk, when it re- ’ to tM care of the mother. The uhfortunate brave is thus subjected to a practical slavery of two years’ length, as he hugs the wickiup very closely, beirig in a chronic state or mortification and disgust. From the mahner in which the Captain chuckled and grunted during his explanation it would seem that the father of twins becomes th® butt of the wags of the tribe. “Two concluded Bob, as he gazed wistfully at the Worn coat of the reporter, “no good. He all much bad.’’— Virginia (Wet.) Chronicle, Gentian was our grandmothers' hobby for a tonic, and no bitter would be considered complete ■■ without it; hence it enters into nearly all. But experience has piored that it is injurious to the stomach if frequently used. A far better tonic is found in Guarana Bitters. j Buhnktt’s Cocoaine is the beet and cheapest hair-dressing in the world.
