Providence permitting, this meeting on Mott's i one would imagine. Street car chat, street car manners, and street cars (Vom many standpoints, seem to be; different from other things. This was the gist of conversation not long since when some one referred to an article in a New York paper on the same line. As the story wont, a grizzled old car conductor stood laughing on his platform, and was happy over a little bit there is much that will commend itself to the I philosophy, careful and earnest attention of those who have i “New York is a pretty proud town," said he, the welfare of the city at heart. The "and one thing that New York is proudest of is arguments thus presented are irrefutable for the ! that everybody attends to his own business, and reason they are based on plain and substantial facts, without the slightest attempt at a perver sion of tlie true state of affairs for thr* purpose of misleading the public mind. So far as the ‘Mark” and the "bright” are concerned, they have given both sides of tin* question fairly and it develops impartially the full force of the statements that have been made. If there be, however, one thing more than another that is particularly noticeable in these views of the situation, it is the very en couraging fact that Columbus has resisted sue- nobody knows or caresaboutanybodyel.se: you don’t know your neighbor next door, and the blonde young woman over the way is never no ticed. Non. that all may be true enough, but when you get New Yorkers aboard of a street car this sort of theorizing don’t hold out at all. Everybody watches everybody else, and the man and woman that seem most wrapped up in thought have all the time got their eye upon two or three other passenger* at once.

On and after to-morrow, Monday, the 11th inst., there will be a night train on the Columbus and Western railroad, leaving here at 10:50 p. in. The train w.ll connect regularly at Opelika with the night train on the Western railway going thut it was cheaper to let industrial enterprises stand still than to operate them. This has been true to a very large extent in various sections of the country; but does that I fact show that its legitinmt been a paralysis of commercial and industrial ! energy in Columbus?

We ad mit that from iron works and railroads and steam boats to girls’ dresses is a considerable skip, but as we were walking on Broad street a young lady stopped to say : j "Did you know that one white dress for the summer may be made to do the duty of three or four ? You didn’t; well it’s a fact. White woolen go ids, such as nun's veiling, cashmere, crepe cloth and flannel can be worn at full dress occa sions and also for the street. A young lady who lias a dress of soft white cashmere has made it appear like u different gown on several occa sions." "How did she do it ?"the reporter ventured to ask, and if we remember correctly she replid : "The skirt is made rather full and is finished about the edge with a narrow pleating, and there is a plain apron-front overdress, bouffant back drapery and a basque made with a vest buttoning on both sides. In this fashion she wears it on the street, sometimes with black velvet collar, cuffs, belt \ lugubrious and ill-omened prophets maintain am! bows.

There has been some talk about the falling of of our cotton receipts during the past year oi two. This falling off'at first blush, appears to In a cause for some invidious comment at the er pen sc of Columbus. There are, however, man;, classes of trade in this city that have flouri.-.hei and grown larger and larger from year to year showing that, “in this day and generation, cot ion only occupies a small part of the th'one " Admitting for the sake of argument that cotton, and cotton in the largest possible quantities, is the most essential and most potential factor in the progress cf Columbus, and admitting that it has not come here, how will the "croakers" ac count for the actual, undeniable progress all ' along the line that Columbus has made since 1SS0? It will not be denied that the population ofColumbus has increased by many thousands in five years. Growth of population means growt h . <>f business, growth of opportunity. Will #* be contended that the Increase cf population ; has come to Columbus from regions ; ! hat are more fully and more generously.blossecl , with the means of individual or collective sub- j distance ? Will it be said that the thousands of I dollars which have been expended in the erection [ of new private residences, and the additional thousands that have been devoted to regenerating j the old places have been expended merely for the i love of "building palaces in deserts" or “abiding j forever in a forsaken country ? ’’ People stay in Columbus because it is the best \ place to stay, and they come here to seek what j they cannot find elsewhere. The simple truth is that Columbus is moving 1 and has been moving in the right direction. One j of the most pleusa\it reflections is that all the J causes which have co-operated to keep down and j repress the natural tendencies of the city to in definite expansion are entirely foreign.

Captain Jerry Slade Telit the Enquirer- | Sun Much About the Queen. \n InHdent that Illustrates the Intelligence of the Bee—The Old #:<m! Not the Voting Him that Leave tin Gum—linn Queen* are .Made, and How They Rule Their Household — Many Points of Interest Revur limr the Bee. Everybody in Columbus, and a great many peo ple outside ofColumbus know that Captain Jerry J. Slade is one of the best educators for boys in the land. He is about us well posted on the ma jority of subjects as almost any man that can be started. The Enquirbr-Sun long ago recognized this fact, but not until yesterday morning did w« have any idea that he knew so much about bees, nor, in foot, did we know there was so much to be known about them. THRQUERN HUE furnishes an interesting study. Speaking about the queen bee yesterday, Captain Slade said : “I wish you could have been out to my house this morning; I would have shown you some thing that would have been enjoyed." "What was that ?’’ we asked. "You are aware, perhaps, that the bee-hives are so arranged that the queen’s movements can be easily watched. Well, just before I started into tl e tv thi lorning I saw a hive of bees prepar ing to swarm. I went to the hive and securing the queen, clipped her wings sj that she could not fly. The swarm came out and settled near by,the queen being the last to leave the old home. She then came out on the starting board, but could net leave. For several minutes messenger bees were dispatched to and from the queen to tlie swarm, and at last the enflre swarm returned to the hive." "Did the other bees understand ?’’ "I am confident they did. 1 am quite certain the queen bee sent a message that she could not come and ordered the return of the other bees." "How can you tell which is the queen?” “She is easily distinguished by the length of her body, shortness of wing, together with a cer tain smoothness and sleek look of her body*. She is about one-third longer than the working bee und has a fierce and ugly sting, but will not use it upon any one who handles her; she is as safe to handle as a June bug.’’ TO CHECK SWARMING. " It would be a good idea then to clip the queen’s wings to prevent the bees from swarm ing ?’’ suggested the reporter. “ Certainly so. The swarm will, when they get ready to leave, go out and cluster, but as soon as they discover that the queen is detained, mes sengers and carriers go to and from the cluster to he queen and instantly all hands come flocking back and go into the hive perfectly contented. Only the queen has an ugly piece ofworktodo on going back. She instantly sets to work to having the young queen cells opened and she stings the young queen to death. This is the only use she ever makes of her sting.” HIVING THE BEES. “This introduces a new way to hive the bees, does it not, captain?” It does. A bee keeper can take advantage of this swarm ng and by putting the Clifford queen I in « new ‘hive on the old stand can give a swarm ! a new home, a thing they were looking for, and i it the same time he can remove the old hive I with its contents of young bees with gum cells to I mother stand and so swarming is done, and that with no trouble. There need lie no more alarm I about bees swarming if the movable from hives aro used. A little smoke quiets the bee ami sets him to eati*>g honey at once. At that pleasant ■ business he is peaceable and will not be roused to resent fulness unless the handling is done nervously and too hurriedly.” "That is decidedly preferable to the old way?” "Oh, yes. Tin pans and kettles, plows, water, dust, and the old appliances to bring the fleeing swarm to a cluster may be relegated to the past. Only clip the queen’s wing, but be sure she is laying before her wing is clipped, or she will al ways remain infertile, for she must always meet the drone on the wing. HOW THEY MAKE QUEENS. “How do the regular working bees get their queens?” If the queen is lost by any accident, she may be replaced in a few days, by placing in the queenless hive a frame of comb with eggs that would hatch out workers in the cells, and the workers will take one of these eggs and cut about five cells into one, round this egg, and, as soon as the egg on the third day hatches into a grub, they nurse this grub with extra focal of a peculiar kind, causing the grub to take on extra growth. In about nine days they seal up this large, half-grown bee. They, to make sure of no failure, mu^ce often as many as a dozen of these queen cells. The first one of these that hatches out with the aid of I ho workers goes round to the other queen cells and pulls out the occupant and and destroy her, as but one can be queen." TWO THOUSAND YEA1W OLD. “Is this clipping of the queen’s wing a new in- \ention ? ’’ •I thought so until this morning. Supposing it to be an invention of the modern bee keeper, and evidence of the progress of the age, 1 prac ticed it with a sort ol pride of my country. But what was my mortification in picking up, out of curiosity, one of those difficult books of Virgil, his Georgies, so difficult fe«* schools even read them, to find that the old Latin poet knew all about it two thousand years ago. And lest any one may be incredulous about the fact I refer him to -Lli Georg'c 103 to 108 lines, a close translation of which is as follow s: "But when the roving swarms fly about and *port in the air, disdain their hives and leave their habitations cold, you will restrain their un seal- a minds from their vain play. Nor is there great difficulty in restraining them: do you but clip the wings of their kings--‘tu regibus alas eripe’— not one will dare while they (the king) stay behind to fly aloft, or pluck up the standard iron* the camp.” "i only feel a liirle compensated for my discom fiture.” said Captain .Slade, “in finding out that 1 know they are queen bees and the old poet thought they were kings. Let no one console himself that he knows it all.” THE MOTHER OR SISTER OF ALL. “Coming back to the queen bee, is she not clofcely related to the other bees?” “Bhe is the mother or sister of all the working lice* aud the workers are all females but are in tertill*. At maturity the queen weds once, and then her business is to lay eggs—her sisters’ to work. Each pursues her avocation to her death -the queen living from two to three years and the working bees hardly us many months.* They wear out their wings with work and then crawl away from the hive and die alone. When their wings are worn out they refuse to eat and'thus perish.” They Know ills Worth. The people of Harris county are good friends of Hon. T. \V. Grimes, ami the Hamilton Journal voices the sentiment of the people in the follow ing: “Hon. T. W. Grimes, of Muscogee, who is a candidate for congress, was in our town last night. Should he secure the nomination he will do credit to the state in the halls of congress, and he has many friends here who wish him j success." He is none the less popular in Marion county, | and the Patriot thus speaks right out: “Colonel ] Grimes lias entered the race ‘ squarely, aud we | hope that Marion county will send delegates in structed for him. It is time that this end of the ' district had a showing in the congressional ‘ honors."
