The term "Bee," now so generally applied to spelling classes, has for a century or more been used in connection with quiltings, eern hustings, apple butter boilings and other pleasant gatherings of country people, where the hum of busy industry reminded one of the activity ef a bee-hive. When the quilt was completed, or the corn all husked, the young people generally amused thetnaelvea with dandag, playing games, etc., and amongst other pleasant amusements spelling classes were introduced. To these old feshioned country customs may, we think, be traced the origin of tb« term "Bee" in its application to orthographic conteeta.

TBK "Restitution" finds signs ot the new coming of the Lord in the tremendous upheavals of the present time, and exhorts every soul to be upon the watchtower:

The hundredth anniversary of securing better remuneration for his that battle falls on the 17th of June next, services, than the paltry sum of $200 per and preparations for duly celebrating annum, could content himself with such moderate gains, but he did it, and thus furnishes another of those curious episodes in human life which give it sugh endless variety.

the event are already making. ST. LOOTS has a weather seer, one Prof, lice. He informs a gasping world that "the frigoritic wind" two weeks ago was not a polar wave, but a "discharge from an immense atmospheric cylinder with a barrel 600 or 600 miles in diameter, down which flows an aerial mael strom from the surface of the atmosphere." Jes so, Judge.

THE hard times and a growing indispositien for work have so increased the number of tramps throughout the oountiy that they are becoming an intolerable nuisance to the housekeeper* in this city as well as to the farmers on the main thorough lares. The great mass of them are not workingmen thrown out of employment* but great hulking fel lows who would starve before they would do an honest day's work, though they will tramp from one town to another, begging—many of them pilfering when they have an opportunity—and sleeping in police stations in towns and in wayside barns in the country, from one month's end to auotherjwithout cessation. They are not peculiar to this locality, but permeate the entire country. In Massachusetts a law has just been passed for the especial* benefit of these gentry. It provides that when they apply to the authorities of any city or town for food or lodging, if their application is granted they may be made to perform a reasonable amount of labor in return for such food or 1 edging, and may be detained until such labor is performed, but not beyond the hour of eloven in the forenoon. If they refuse to perform the work offered them they can then be prosecuted aud sent to the State workhouse, or punished as other wise provided by law. The nature of the work to be required of the tramps is not specified, but it is Mr to presume th*t. the proverbial ingenuity of New Englandera will result in finding semething for them to do which will not only be useful hat sufficiently irksome to the professional vagrant to render him uodeetrona of further trespass upon the unwilling hospitality of those who have fed and lodged him. The example of Massachusetts In this regard might be imitated to advantage la other States. Or oeurse there are many foct travelers who ere in search of employment, and who are really deserving of assistance but it is easy to distinguish these from the regular tramp.

THK injustice of calling upon clergymen to attend funeral* and never oflering to pay them for their time and service, is emphasised by the "Christian Leader":

WORRISOME HOMES.

A lady writing in the Maine Farmer shows how apt good housekeeping ia to become almost a tyrant, when carried to such success of cleanliness as to make freedom of movement impossible:

There are homes which money, taste, and executive ability have made highly desirable and enjoyable but the whole is neutralized by a continual fretful caution toward every dweller. If a child moves it is—"There! there! tjon't touch

foil don't stub your toe and skin your nose." If a man puts his head through the sitting-room door a volley of cau* tions is aimed at hini. "It isn't polite to appear among ladies with jour bat on." That difficulty obviated, bis shirt la soiled, and "There, there, what dirty boots—well, I'll lay apieco of old carpet for them." If a book, paper, or any ar* tide is used, it must be opened just so for, when the sun is at just an ancle, that not a raj* will make a golden fine across that Brussels and woe betide the fly or miller that dare seek quarters where tho towel and brush reign queen.

Nothing short of ou&r excellent water works, by which the entire buildlnfe was quickly flooded, oould have prevented probably one of the most disastrous conflagrations that ever visited thia elty.

The damage to the Express printing establishment has been estimated at 92,100—tully insured The Mall 9200, mostly oovered by insurance to tho building, owned by Fred A. Ross, |400, insured. Mr. George KerkhofTs saddlery hardware, next door, was injured by water going through the wall, to the ampunt of 9500 insured.

I am moro than ever oonvincod that Terre Haute will never have an efficient and economical elty government till tho practice of party nominations for muni* dpal offices shall be disoontlnoed.
