THE BUSY ,BEE. • An exchange has sh article head ed "Bees and Their Work for Man." The heading reminds us, writes a Milwaukee reporter, of a man that a bee worked for last summer. It was out at the' Soldiers' Home. There was a pic-nic and dance, and lunch, and everything, on the grass: Among the gentlemen present wts Mr. Sev erance. Re was around i the crowd, seeing that everybody *as happy, and when lunch time came he found himself seated on the green grass, With white pants on in a party of la- dies, some of whom he didn't know from Eve. It is alleged that Gener al Hicks. the governor of the Dome, is desirous.of breaking up this) pie nicl business, and to this end be Celli ed the Commissioner of Agriculture. to send him'a quantity of the sassi est bees known to: 'science, regular Sitting Bull bees, that are repeaters, and know no such; word as fail to work in the stinging utensil. This may .not be true, but anyway, , bees ha,re been turned into the Home grounds to pasture, and though Gen eral Hicks a may be innocent, he is re s )onsible. Well, Severance was sitting on the ground dissecting a sandwich' apd wondering what was in the bottle that was looking over th'e edge of a basket; when , suddenly he felt sorne thing crawling up the• inside of his trowsers. He is not as demonstra- tire as some, but he noticed it, and as he looked at the strange woman opposite, his mind . wantlered to hio trowsers leg,and the expression on his face was one of anxiety. lie was calm, to all outward appearance, but within there was a vague longing to know the nature of the beast. It kept crawling up. Severance is .not wealthy, but he would have given his note if be could have known the species of bug that was going up him with so deliberate and businesslike a tread.' ' He knew it was not an aunt, because it was not large enough for that, and it was not large enough for a hen; though when it stopped and scratched with its hind feet he thought it resembled a hen.'' His thoughts seemed far awa,y,an,d when, the lady asked him what time it was, he said from the feeling he should think it was about three inch es below the knee. He' alluded to; the buff, of course. She blushed and stifled her emotions with a pickle. Mr. Severance was becoming ner vous. He wouldift.begrudge a war bug the right of way along his skin, but when it went too far t his manhood was aroused. He thought:." Here I am allowing an insect to trifle with my feelings and spoil day's . en joyment." ,He laid down a sandwia that 'he had just bit a camel's track out of, and smiled: He did not feel like smiling,. but he thought he would laugh at something said, and slap his knee at the same time, as though tickled, and thins kill the bug, and no one in the party, would knew any thingr:about it. - i One of the women said something cunning, just as the insect was going up Severance's thigh, by easy stages, and be broke out into a laugh, and slapped his leg. His face wreathed in a No. s smile, his lips were parted as thoughhe wa the happiest man, in America; but hen his hand struck .his bind leg he j upped up about four smile, his and came d wn on a lemon pie. The smile froze to hii face and his month remained open as though a bar of railroad iron had been . shot through his - leg flout of a cannon. The women looked at him scared; the strange .roman, particularly, Whis pered to a companion that .he was evidently in the last stages. He was about,; to excuse himself to go and see la man, when the strange woman also jumped up, grab bed her skirts and shook them, ran around a tree •and said "get out!" started across the road on, a run, and went up to one of. the houses.: it is a supposable ease that there were just bees enough for, two. When she went :away Severance went up behind the took-house_ and investigated the matter,.t and 'Toni Williams said he kicked some thing into the ground"; with hiii .boot-heel and jumped on ; it eight or nine times: Luling the 'dance that occurred in the afternoon there was one violin player that played with animation, and •Itt strange woman danced as though she . was, hired to. Km) HENRY VIII was an eccentric wooer. He never popped the question. He just married a womat. and axed her afterwards.

AM inktot BUDEZT.., , THE " IIAWKET* F !-MAN TELLS HOW IT /EELS OPT THE COAST OP MAINE. We left Portland in the evening and a bit ea storm. There was a heavy sea, with its usual depressing influences. The sea grew rougher and as pitching and- rolling of the good•-;:steamer New York increased my spirits - did not rise. Your spir its are not apt to rise, you find. They' are the only, things about you that don't rise, however. My subject •Of reflection having eluded my• rather inactive mind, I became sensible of a kind of sort of a languor . that l euggested repose. I did not feel like- standing up and singing. I wanted repose. I wasn't partienbir what!kind of repose. The repose of the giave would have suit ! ed me perfectly well. But there was no grave handy. And when I went out and to seaward and gazed at the landless expense of angry, tossing 1 waters, I didn't see any material to, mark a grave. And then, when I returned to the state room, it begat todawn upon me, vei ry dimly, that the depose was about as seldom as the grave. The ocean made me I feel as though I had swallowed it,whole, and 1 was afraid I would have to spread a little to hold it. I believed I would retire and abandon the struggle with my feel itgs, for I -felt that 1 was on the verge of quoting poetry. I stood on my•feet and tocllt off some of things. Then I leaned against the door and took off a few. Then I stood on my head and got off one or two. ' Then I lay down on my back and kicked off the rest of them. Then I looked up at•my berth. It was 900 feet from the floor and still going. 1 cast an anxious, despairing glance at it, reached out and dragged a traveling shawl over me, and tried 'to warble a stave of a rollicking sea song. When I bought my passage of the International Steamship Cunpany, I did not contract to sleep in a sky.- rocket, and that I should not get into my berth till it came down close enough for me to grab at it. The sense ofl utter forlornness, the feeling of descilation and goneness ; the, impression, generally correct, that every well] person in the ship is laughing at 'you, the soddening thought that there is no chance of dying, the depressing knowledge that there is no help for it, anyhow ; the confidence 'that nobody is going to do anything for you, and the philosophical ! resolution that you don't care a constitutional red cent if they don't;, he hope that you will be over it by morning; the fear that it will last a week; the forlorn hope, now and then,; that the pilot will get frightened and tie tio ship up to a tree at some place, only for a while; the despairing scene of disap pointment that steals over you as it becomes evident that the pilot hasn't the remotest thought of doing any thing of the kind; and at last the fervent, earnest, despairing wish that the boiler will blow up, the ship strike a rock, ,cateh on tire, capsize, be run down by an iron steamship, get struck by lightning and sink in 900 fathoms Of water, and do it all most powerful quick, - too. This is the final spasm. Why, even after I fell- asleep, I dreamed that I was a boy again; a ' happy, guileless, barefoot y, and that I was WI Peoria sitting behind the woodshed- in the old yard on Monroe street, where the post office now stands, making, in boyish soli tude, my maiden efforts on my first and most suirePtitious cigar. And I dreamed that the cigar was just about half Stnoke'd out, and was lying on thel chopping block beside me, and that the curtain had just rung for the second act. AIISTB4IIOI SALT LASES. An,intereAing description of the salt lakes oil Australia is given by the writer i n tide Sydney Empire, who speaking of the salt lakes and mineral spring on the Paroa says : "These wells are a real curiosity. Mounds of earth rise ten or fifteen feet over the Surface, no doubt thrown up by - the foice of the water ; they form a kind of oasis in the wilder ness, and have saved the jives of many a weary wanderer. These mounds canllx: seen for miles. The water is very clear and soft. It is impregnated with magnesia soda and alum. It IS very palatable and I think very wholesome. The.. -water. does - not flow after touching the sur face • but as soon as it overflows the port like baSin sinks into the earth. The alum and soda crack under your feet, as you walk around these wells, like frozen I snow. Sand storms oc casionally edit( with great violence, sweeping along and drifting. like snow, but in this it differs, that noth ing-is prod against its penetrating propensity. It enters your eyes, your nose, your mouth, your ears ; even your very skin seems gritty from it, and everything is covered with it. It' enters all culinary mat- tera, so that while it lasts you are continually , eating, drinking and wearing sands. As an instance, the first evening I entered the, Parco, .one of the sand storms set in, and, after viewing one of those beautiful clear lakes, in which we thought we could quenchl our thirst, having had nothing to drink since the morning, what was our surprise, l i might almost say despair, to find that the water was salt asbrine.

ISM JONAH'S TOMB. DISCOVERIES MONO TUE MOUNDS OP NINEVEH-THE TOWER OF BABEL. Manchester Guardian Letter. Mr..Hormuzd Rassam has returned to England . having completed his second' Assyrian expedition.. He brings with him a rich collection of objects which he has acquired during the year.. The results .of the last journey are of a more varied charac ter than those of ,any expedition .which his taken place since the early. expeditions conducted by Sir A. H. Layard.' Commencing operations on the mounds of Nineveh, Mr. Rassam succeeted in exploring a site which was regarded as forbidden ground. This was the mound of Nebby Yonne, the supposed -tomb of the prophet Jonah. In this mound he discovered remains of palaces erected by Bader hadderi and Sennacherib. His labors on the mounds of Nineveh have re sulted in the discovery of a large number of inscriptions many of ex treme interest. Passing southward, he visited Nimroud, where he con tinued his labors . in the Temple of Venus. This building, which he dis covered in his former expedition, was now thoroughly examined, and, found to ben large, Open temple, containing shrines of several deities. There were also found a number of seats arranged in parallel rows, forming a center aisle from the chief altar. The plan now recovered seems to favor the idea of its having been a forum where religious and other councils were held. The explora tions in Assyria have discovered many valuable monuments. Mr. Rassam extended his operations into fields untouched since time of Sir A. B. Layard's expedition, and he was able to carry out a series of explora tions on the mounds of ancient Babylon. Here his discoveries have been most brilliant. In a pound- 1 hitherto untouched he discovered a palace of Nebuchadnezzar's with rich enameled columns, beams" of Indian wood and every indication of having been a most splendid edifice. His excavations in the mound of the Birs Nimroud, the site of the pro posed Tower of Babel, has proved that the destruction of this great edifice was due not Co lightning or hostile attack, but. to a volcanic eruption, which had torn and shat ter6d the edifice. THE PETIT TO MOTHER.—Mothers live for their children, make self-sac rifices for them; and manifeit their tenderness and love so freely, that theitame mother. is the sweetest itt huthan language.: And yet sons, youthful and aged, know butlittle of the anxiety, the nights of sleepless ' and painful .solicitude, which their mothers. hate spent over their thoughtless waywardness. Those lov ing hearts gO down to- their gravies with those hours of secret agony-un told. As the mother watches by night, or prays in the privacy of her closet, she weighs well the words which-she will address to her son in order to lead him . to a manhood in honor and usefulness. She will not tell him all the griefs and de:oly ' fears: which beset her soul. She warns him with trembling' lest she say overmuch. She , tries to- charm him with cheery love while her - beart is bleeding. No worthy and success fnl man yet knew the breadth and depth of the great obligation which he is under to his mother who guid ed his heedless steps when his char. acter for virtue and purity was so, narrowly balanced against a course of vice and ignominy. Let the duti, ful son do his'utmost AO smooth his mother's pathway, let him obey as implicitly as he- can her wishes and advice, let him. omit nothing that will contribute to her peace, rest, and happiness, and yet be will part from her at the tomb with the debt to her not half discharged. THE EARLY' . Risiso DELUSION— For farmers and those who live hi lo calities where people can retire at eight or nineo'clock in the evening, the old notion about early rising is still appropriate. But he who is kept up' till ten or eleven or twelve o'clock, and then rises at five or six because Of the teachings of some old ditty about " early to rise," is committing a - sin against his own soul. ;There is not one man in ten thotisand who can afford to do without seven or eight hoUrs'. sleep. All the stuff written about great men whO slept only three or four hours , a night, is ,apocryphal. They have been put upon such small allowances occasionally and prosper• ed ; but nb man ever kept healthy in body and tnind for a number of years with less than seven hours! sleep. If yolt get to bed early then rise early ; if you cannot get to bed till late then rise late. It may be as proper for one man to rise at eight as it is for another to rise at live. Let the rous ing bell be rung by at least thirty minutes before your public appear ance.. Physicians say that a sudden jump out of bed gives; irregular mo tion to the pulses. It takes hours to get over a too sudden rising. It is barbarous to expect children to land on ithe centre of the floor at the call of their nurses, the . thef mometei be- zero. Give us time after you call us, to roll over, gaze at the world fulrin the face, and look before you leap. A HAPPY OLD MAIN.-I went to visit an old man who lived in a room by himself, and Who had been com plaining for some time. When I entered he was sitting in a chair, so solitary, yet so peaceful. After a while 1 asked him hoc; he felt. He paused a few moments, then he said- With great solemnity. '"Whether .1 live, I live unto the Lord; whether I die, I die unto the Lord; whether I; live, therefore, or (lie,- I am the Lord's." I was deeply affected by hiS reply: hemmed to proceed from a heart at pence with God, through faith in_ the blood of Jesus. 0 what distinguished grace, tlius to, !know Christ and to be a child of = God!

PREPAILATIONS FOR CENTENNIALS IN From the New York. tar • AUBURN, August 1.--!-The plan of the expedition ,generally known as Sullivan's, against the Indians in Western ) New York, was matured directly. after the massacre of Wyom- 1 ing in 1779: It was not only deter; mined to punish the natives' for that ,terrible slaughter, but to inflict so, severe a punishment that they would never be able to make again such, a disastrous attack; Washington of- ' the command of the expedition to Gen. Fates; but the officer imper tinently declined it ; and it was given td Gen. John Sullivan of New Hamp shire. Gen Sullivan was an Irish man, his father, having_ been a Lim , crick schoolmaster before emigrating Ito this country. For the:purpose of the contemplat ed expedition the troops under Gen. Sullivan were ordered to rendezvous at Wyoming. He started from that plade up the Susquehanna, July 31, 1779., with about three thousand men his stores and artillery being pushed up the river in 150 boats.. On August I 11 - he arrived at Tioga. Point, now' Athens, at which place the -Susque hanna is joined by the, Tioga, now joined by the hem ung river. Here he was to meet Men. Clinton with 2,000 more men. Clinton had ren dezvoused at Canajoharie, in this State, and made his way to the Otsego, late the headwaters of the Susquehanna river. Hew as Obliged to put into practice a curious and novel method of forwarding the men and stores. The country through which he must pass was an unbroken wilderness.. He could not hope to penetrate it and form a junction with Sullivan in time to be of any serviced , to him, and the stream itself _was Altogether to small to furnish him means of transportation. He bast . - ily counstructed a dam at the outlet of the lake, floated his boats above it, and after sufficient water was ac cumulated it was torn away; and his raft and - blitteaux went sailing rapid ly down with the flood to their point of designation. The end sought was thus not only g ained, and the jour ney made with ease, but the fact of a flood at, a season of the year when one had never before been known-in that' valley, seriously alarmed the In dians. They attributed it to Divine displeasure, and were so dishearten ed by, it that their subsequent efforts to stop the expedition. were greatly weakened. . The first and only serious 'resis tance that Gen. Sullivan met with, was on the -Chemung- river, about twelve miles above Tioga Point, and four miles east of what is now the city of -Elmira. Here a company of Indians and Tories, under the famous Joseph Brant, had thrown up some defences on the summit of a ridge that projected from the hills into the valley, and 'they proposed with about -1,500 men, to stop the advance of 5,000 Sullivan arrived 'at the ob struction on August 29, and made short work of it and them. The fight - was sharp, and lasted only three or four hours. the loss sustained by the expedition being slight, but that Of the enemy very large. One of Sullivan's scouts in this Lexpedition was named Waterman Baldwin. Some of the descendants of this family still live in Elmira and the neighborhood, being among the wealthiest and most conspicuous citizens there. He was a remorkable shot, and great hunter. Twenty-five .years after the battle referred to above, Baldwin, who was living near Wilkesbarre, Pa., came Up to-visit some of his relatives who had settled in that neighborhood. .He and a nephew, his namesake, a lad of 14 or 15-years of age, made frequent hunt: ing .expeditions over the still un cleared hills of that region, for 'the uncle was desirous that his nephew should 'inherit his skill with the gun, as well as- his name, especially as -these two were all he could, bequeath him.. It happened one day that they were going over the scene-of the.bat tle. lialdwin's quick woodman's eye recognized the place, and stopping he looked keenly about him, as though. redlining the excitement of the struggle. Presently he touched the lad on the r shoulder, and -point-. ing to a fallen tree or log, - 100 yards or so away, he said : ." Hush, Watty, boy, twenty-five yearS ago, Uncle Wat shot an In dkan between the eyes, who wan be hind that logonder., Shot him between the eyeir,'my -boy.", He raja ed.his rifle, as though .taking aim again at the • same,; object, and then added, " Let's go and .see if we cap find him." Followed by the lad and cocking hit's' gun, he 'crept along toward the log precisely as he would hails done' fry:$:03:11)Arl , :14:11:10.: 4 :40).11 In the grave In the grave film t tbat sin to Satan gave ; Death,' the mighty King and Terror, And the grave.

He looked• lijsappointed until the lad suggested that they should try under them. They did so, and after a time -came upon a skeleton. Right in the forehead of the skull, between the eyes, was a bullet -, hole. Young Baldwin car ried the trophy-home in triumph and he constructed .a squirrel cage out of the skull that his great-grandson played with as late as in 1876. The point on which Sullivan's bat tle took place .is known by the eu phonious title of hogback, wliich was probably 'suggested by the bristly ridge on the summit of which the defences had been thrown up: These defences were very • distinct until within a year or two. The expedi _lion also left a number of names that have attached themselves to the sev eral localities. =One of them, which is in use near the 'scene of the battle, appears in the sonorous designation of the village of Horseheads. Gen. Sullivan encamped on the site of the.village, and was obliged to kill hi there a number of horses. Tearly settlers foUnd there large numbers of horses' heads: strewn around, and hence the nam of the place. After the battle, •Sullivan . and his forces moved On-the Chemung, river paSSing the site of. the . present city of Elmira, in Which, - a broad and handsome avesme, named - after:the ;.1 - General, marks - the track , h - took.. Keeping northward . up a small/ creek, and crossing a difficult andd ilger on's' swamp, the expedition - a. rived on September 1 in Catherine'. Own near the, site of the present vil lage •of Watkins, *- the, head of Seneca Lake.' Catherine town was a Village .of considerable_ iinpoltarice, the home of Catherine 3lnntour, or Queen Catherine, as • she was called. Local tradition claims her as a'white woman stolen from her'family when She was young and history describes her as one of , the ,most malignant_ and fiendish creatures, dancing with delight overthe agony and tortures of thoSe taken captive. The town was. reduced to. ashes on September 3; ,all the orchards with in it and around it were Cut down, and the_ fields of grain laid waste. The next day the expedition took up.i its line of march along the easterly side of Senepa • Lake,- the Indian. women and children flying before it. I On. September '5 a village named Kendaia was reached. It had the apH pearapee of behig an old place, wiAtii twenty decent Wises, some of whin were painted. T i tle monuments, es pecially those of. the chief .warriors; were made of, highly colored boxes 'of plank, laid. upon the graves. All were burned, and all of the vegeta tion, so far as possible destroyed. There is a : dread uniformity in the story-of the desolation accomplished by the expedition. The outlet of Seneca lake was crossed on Septem tereber,G, and' Kanadasega, the capi tal of the tribe of Seneca:lndians was reached.. It was near the present .site of the 'village of Geneva. '-Stil- - Ryan expected to surprise lt,. but news of his Coming . had . preceeded him, and it was deserted. by its in habitants.. Its sixty houses, numer ous. cornfields and orchards were all destroyed.. On September -t . l the In dian village, standing where . now stands and-'named as now named,. Canandaigua, with its twenty-three houses met with 'a like -fate, and on the next clay Iloneove was laid to l ashes. On September 10,Koneghsawa, * Village of - twenty-five houses was burned. - - ' On the 12th a small portion of the expedition rnet with the only severe disaster 'which was experienced on the whole march. .Lieut Boyd and twenty-six men were sent' forward as scouts 'to reconnoitre. They were led out of their true course, eitherby the `ignoranc i or treachery of their guide ' and were surrounded by, a large body of .Indians: Lieut Boyd' was captured, and his ,whole force slaughtered ' Ite- himself was subse quently put to death with . the most inhuman tortures. , On September 13 the expedition - looked from the sum mit oithe hills overwhich they were clambering upon the village of Gen esee with its 128 ,houses. One who saw it then wrote : "It - is beautifully situated in the midst of .an extensive plain, bright With, the rich, verdure. of early autpmn." The next day O l e Whole scene was transformed into a black and dreary waste. On Septem ber 16' Sullivan began to' retrace his steps, and on. the 20th.he, was again at the northern extremity of Seneca lake. rA detabhment was sent around Cayuga lake; and burned its_ vilagw 4 on the eastern shore; three large ones were,l . destroyed. Other detach ments destroyed a number. ot. villages on. the south-western shore of • the same lake and• along the Tioga- river and its tributaries. On .- September 30 the' whole. force was-'again on Tioga Point; and sixteen days-after ward were in Eastern Pennsylvania, having 'traversed in going . and re turning more than -600 miles. - In reckoning up the'results it was ascer tained that . forty towns had been re diked to tithes, beautiful and exten, sive orehards had been uprooted and destroyed, and corn in quantities im- possible to estimate had been left to perish on the soil.
