The Presidential Outlook.
Both the Democratic and Repub
lican parties will meet in Chicago
In convention in July to nominate
candidates for the presidency, and
hence a good deal of talk is already
being indulged in, as to the proba
ble nominees.
Mr. Tilden who has been some
time coquetting with the demo
cratic party, saying that he would j
not be acandidate,has atlast consen
ted, ‘if the party or people called
upon him, to aid them to the full
extent of his power to reform the
country,’ and it is stated by the
friends of Mr. Hendricks, who is
now in-Europe, that he will be wil
ling to sacrifice himself, as a can
didate for the vice-presidency, if
it is the wish of the dear people.
On the other hand, Mr. Blaine
- has said over and over again, that
he was not a candidate and would
not he. Yet it is claimed that a
recent canvass of the Republican
party shows him to be by far the
most popular candidate in that
.party and that the probabilities are
that he will willing or unwilling
be sacrificed upon the altar of
his country, for, as his party claims,
the good of the country.
And thus the matter stands at
present, according to the latest
data, but it is some time yet before
the conventions meet. In the
meantime, however, the little
boom's of Morrison, McDonald and
Randall of the Democratic party,
and Logan and Arthur of the Re
publican party, can have a short
rest, while the country discusses
your “Uncle Samuel” and the
“plumed knight.”
The Southern Cultivator.
Eor March is upon our table.—
The Cultivator is undoubtedly the
best agricultural journal published
in tlilie South. It lias ('raring the
past year, published a series of
articles on “Dickson’s system of
farming,” compiled from his
works, which it now proposes to
publish in pamphlet form and pre
sent to each new subscriber. The
hook will be worth the subscription
price of the Cultivator to every one
engaged in farming.
In order to increase the develop
ment of the agricultural and other
•resources of the South, the pro
prietors of the Cultivator have offer
ed a number of gold premiums for
essays, as follows:
For the best essay on the ma
terial resources of the South and
their development, $50; second best,
$10; third, $5.
For the best practical essay on
intensive farming in the South, $25;
second best, $10; third, $5.
For the best practical essay on
the cultivation of Southern crops,
including preparation,plowing, hoe
ing, &c., $15; second best, $10; third,
$5.
For the best practical essay on
harvesting and preservation of
Southern farm crops and products,
grain, forage, potatoes, syrup, &c.,
$15; second best, $10; third, $5.
Persons wishing to subscribe to
the Cultivator will address Jas. P.
Harrison & Co., Atlanta, Ga.
The candidate for political office
is indeed abroad in Georgia. Four
men already acknowledge a hope
in connection with the governor
ship, two seek place as State treas
urer, five want to succeed Brown
in the senate, thirty congressional
aspirants are named in the Tenth
district, and so on through the list.
—Chicago Tribune.
And still there’s more to follow.
The Savannah News says that
all the Democratic aspirants for the
vice-presidency favor Tilden for
the first place on the ticket, be
cause he has a “barrel” and some
what of a boom, and is the only
man mentioned who appears to
offer the chance of succession to the
junior partner in the race.
Marshall T. Polk, ex-treasurer of
Tennessee, died suddenly in Nash
ville last week. lie, it will be re
membered, was tried and convic
ted last year of embezzlement,
and was sentenced to the peniten
tiary. At the time of his death his
case had been appealed to the
supreme court.
The Griffin Sun has this to say:
“Wonder if Senator Brown’s Mor
mon speech stimulated that sect of
so-called religionists to put their
missionaries to work recently in
Paulding county ? He should feel
proud of the success of his effort.”
The Atlanta Constitution in a
double leaded editorial declares
for the old ticket, while the Macon
Telegraph “earnestly protests
agains the attempt, in season and
out of season, to force Mr. Tilden
on the party.”
There is evidently a preconcerted
arrangement among some of the
big, dailies to boom your Uncle
Samuel Tilden into the presidency.
How the thing is going to pan out
remains to be seen.
The gubernatorial convention of
Alabama will meet in Montgomery
omthe 4th day of June next.
An Interesting Article on Bees. Their
Habits, Mode of Management, &c.
In each community or hive there
are three kinds of bees. First, the
Queen, or female bee. This lady
can rarely be seen, as she seldom
leaves the hive, and then only for
a short period. She is by some
styled the mother bee. It is she
who lays all the eggs from which
' the young bees are hatched. She
appears to have no other duty to
perform than that of laying eggs.
When the bees are gathering honey
rapidly the Queen lays from two to
three thousand eggs in twenty-four
hours; at other times she is so as
siduously attended the observer
lias but rare opportunities of view
ing her. She is of a dark brown
color, the head is covered with yel
low hairs, except where a plume of
black ones have grown upon the
forehead. The thorax is covered
with pale brown hairs, and the
abdomen, which is nearly twice as
long as that of the common worker
is of a dark, reddish brown under
neath, and the wings are smaller in
proportion.
The Worker is rather darker in
color, and are females, but are so
imperfectly developed that they
are incapable of breeding. They
retain the ■instinct of females only,
so far as to take care of the brood.
The third kind of bee is the Drone,
or male, whose name has become a
reproach to all idlers, from the fact
that he does not take any part in
those diligent labors of the hive, in
which the workers are constantly
employed. The Drone is much
larger than the Worker, but has not
so large a body as the Queen. Of
these there are several hundred in
each hive.
The scene presented by a com
munity of bees is the more aston
ishing the more we become ac
quainted with their details. Only
one Queen is permitted to hold
office in a community at a time;
but while her claims are undis
puted, she is always treated with
singular respect and affection; in
deed her present, and the prospect
of a future generation, appear the
chief motive of the insects to exert
themselves.
Now, those that have bees in old
loose hives, and wish to transfer
them, can do so by first preparaing
themselves with a sheet iron pan,
4 inches wide, 10 long, and 3 deep.
In this put one part bees-wax, and
three parts rosin, melted together
for fastening the combs, taking the
precaution not to get it too hot.
Next you can get a common table
upon which to place the bees; then
get a wide plank to lay the comb
upon when taken from the loose
hives. Now, have your smoke
sufficiently good, and a cold-chisel,
hatchet, &e. Blow a few whiffs of
smoke into the hive, and then
strike the hive with a hammer a
few times to alarm the bees, and
the smoke will conquer them in a
very short time. They always give
due and timely notice of their de
feat by a loud roaring. Now, take
the hive containing the bees, turn
it bottom up or lay it on
either side, so that the combs
will be one edge up and down,
as they are built in the old hive.
The combs in this position will not
fall upon the bees. Now by the use
of the chisel and hatchet cut the
nails from two sides of the hive,
having the comb in a position to
get at easily etc. Then cut the
combs from the hive leaving them
as large as possible, laying them on
the plank prepared for them. Now
lay a frame on a piece of comb cut
ting it to fit the frame and set
them in the same position they oc
cupied in the old hive, if possible.
As soon as all the combs are fitted
to the frames the wax being mel
ted, dip the edges of the combs in
to it and set or lay them in the
frames; see that they all fit tightly-
Place them in the new hive and it is
ready to receive the bees. Now we
can take the bees to the front of the
new hive as any new swarm of
bees. I will mention another plan
of fastening in the combs, as you
cut the combs to fit the frames
place them in the frame using the
melted wax, by taking a teaspoon
and puting it around the edges,
which will adhere to the frame and
comb, and if you think that there is
danger of the combs falling out of
the frame, you can use some little
strips of wood tacked across the
frame, which is a very good plan.—
If the hives are opened about the
fourth or fifth day the bees by
this time will fasten, the comb and
the strips of wood can be taken out.
Feeding bees stimulates them to
early breeding.
Transfering of bees should be
done early in the spring months.—
Tliereare three great requisites that
are neccessary to successful bee
keeping, and we may sum it up as
follows: Every bee-keeper who
understands his business will al
ways keep his stock strong and
when the honey harvest is ready*
your bees are, with a sufficient
force and strength to gather rapid
ly the nectar from the forest.
The bee-keeper should take the
same position as does the farmer
er with his stock. Have them
strong and when the honey harvest
is ready, dont have it to say, as of
old, behold the fields are white and
ready to harvest and the laborers
are few. We should use diligence
in preparing good pasturage, that
our bees may be benefited when the
plants fail in their blooming: We
can increase in the amount of hon
ey more than double by so doing,—
The sowing of buckwheat and
white clover, will fill the vacuum
remarkably well and will repay for
all the trouble.
Truly the bee hive, is an emblem
of industry and recommends the
practice of that virtue to all crea
ted beings, from the higest seraph
in heaven to the lo»vest reptile of
the dust.
It teaches us that as we came in
to the world rational and intelli
gent beings, so we should ever be
industrious ones, never sitting
down contented, while our fellow
creatures around us are in want,
when it is in our power to relieve
them. So may you and I kind rea
der profit by these lessons and so
deport ourselves in this life, that
when the summons comes to hid us
join the innumerable caravan that
moves to that mysterious realm,
be fully prepared to enter the land
of rest beyond the river.

NEW”ADVERTISEMENTS.
SEALED UNTO HIM.
A NEW AND POWERFUL STORY OF
MORMON LIFE.
By Joaquin Miller.
Joaquin Miller has become widely
known as one of the most powerful dra
matic writers America liafe ever produced.
Ilis stories are eagerly sought by the
foremost periodicals of the country, and
his great American drama, “The Dan
ites,” lias been played for years to crowd
ed houses throughout America and Eng
land. His “Songs of the Sierras,” first
published in London, awakened a furore
of enthusiasm, and he was at once
“lionized” by English society, his popu
larity equalling that of Bret llarte.
His life has been a singularly romantic
one. When a lad he was taken to Oregon
to live, at a time when white settlers
were almost unknown there. lie prac
ticed mining in California during that
memorable period of excitement follow
ing the discovery of Gold. He was one
of the Nicaragua expedition in 1855,
under General Walker, and after many
adventures with Indians and miners, he
became a judge in Oregon. He is at
present building a log-cabin on one of the
prominent sites at Washington, D. C.,
which he expects to occupy as soon as it
is completed.
His new story, “Sealed Unto Him,'" is
founded on facts, some of them from his
personal experience. It treits of the
Danites, or “avenging angels” of the
Mormon church, as they existed over
thirty years ago. The foremost charac
ter, the one about whom the story revol
ves, is a Mormon elder, a leader of the
Danites, a madman in his fanatical zeal,
and a giant in stature and strength. He
is one of the most powerful dramatic
creations that have appeared in modem
fiction.
The heroine of the story is a beautiful
young lady, who, in' an ignorant freak,
is induced to become “sealed” fo a Mor*
won elder, before the sect had removed
from Illinois to Salt Lake City. Fearing
the vengeance of the because of
her refusal to accompany the elder,,as a
wife, to Salt Lake City, her father en
deavors to spirit her away to California.
On the journey overland, the emigrant
train which they accompany passes by
Salt Like City, and here it is the ven
geance of the “avenging angels" over
takes them, and “they are judged—aud
are not." The journey, with its sus
picions clustering around a colossal and
mysterious figure, which forms one of
the train; the suspense as they near Salt
Lake City; the secret work of the Dan
ites ; the flight of the girl and her final
fate, are told with a realism and dramatic
force rarelv found in the fiction of any
age.
Tlie story is a timely as well as a
thrilling one. It deals with a people and
a fanaticism that are at present the cen
tre of national interest, aud an interest
which is hound to grow greater before
it grows less.
By .special arrangment with the
author we will commence the pub
lication of the above story in our
next issue.

NEW YORK, 1884.
About sixty million copies of The Sun
have gone out of our establishment
during the past twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the
columns of all The Suns printed and sold
last year you would get a continuous
strip of interresting information, common
sense, wisdom, sound doctrine, and sane
wit long enough to reach from Printing
House square to the top of Mount Cop
ernicus in the moon, then hack to Print
ing House square, and then three-quarters
of the way hack to the moon again.
But The Sun is written for the inhabit-
afits of the earth; this same strip of in
telligence would girdle the globe
twenty-seven or twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of The Sun
during the past year has spent only one
hour over it, and if his wife or his grand
father lias spent another hour, this news
paper in 1883 has afforded the human
race thirteen thousand years of steady
reading, night and day.
It is only by little calculations like
these that you can form any idea of the
circulation of the most popular of Ameri
can newspapers, or of its influenceon the
opinions and actions of American men
and women.
The Sun is, and will continue to he, a
newspaper which tells the truth without
fear of consequences, which gets at the
facts no matter how much tlie process
costs, which presents the news of all the
world without wasto of words and in the
most readable shape, which is working
with all its heart for the cause of honest
govermeut, and which therefore believes
that the Republican party must go, and
go in this coining year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know the* Sun, you like it al
ready, and you will read it with accustom
ed dilligence and profit during what is
sure to be the most interesting year in its
history. If you do not yet know the Sun
it is high time to get in the sunshine.
