Bob Taylor on Politics.,
I am about to shuffle off this
mortal coil of politics and fly
away to the heaven of my native
mountains*where I may think and
dream in peace, safe from the
sickening sting of unjust criti
cism; safe from the talons of
some old political vulture; safe
from the slimy kiss and the keen
danger of ingratitude.
Every honest man who runs for
office is a candidate for trouble;
for the fruits of political victory
turn to ashes on the lips.
To me there is nothing in this
world so pathetic as a candidate.
He is like a mariner without a
compass, drifting on the tempest-
tossed waves of uncertainty, be
tween the smiling cliffs of hope
and the frowning crags of fear.
He is a walking petition and a
living prayer:; he is the dromedary
•of politics. And even if he
reaches the goal of his ambition
he will soon feel the beak of the
vulture in his heart and the fang
of the serpent in his soul.
1 am no longer a candidate,
Never again will I be inaugurated
into public office. The ark of my
humble public .career now rests
on the Arrarat of private life, and
I stand on its peaceful summit
=and look down on the receding
flood of politics. The dove of my
•destiny has brought me an olive
branch from happier fields, and I
go hence to labor and to love.

Judging from General Miles’
latest interviews on the embalmed
beef question, he is now loaded for
bear and would be tickled to death
if the- president would order his
courtmartiai. Having armed him
self with the sworn statements of
a number of regimental comman
ders and officers of lesser grade
who had personal experiences with
the bewhiskered steaks and roasts
that were issued to their men by
the commissary department, he
would seem to -be master of the
^situation, and nobody now has
any icjda ibat~'~be -will -be further
molested. The president and Sec
retary Alger doubtless regard him
as a mighty good man to let alone.

Scarlet, fever has broken out
among the pupils of Wesleyan
Female College, ‘and the board of
trustees have decided to close the
college temporarily. The resolu
tion passed by the trustees is as
follows:
“Resolved, That the college ex
ercises be suspended until the first
day of March and that the presi
dent be requested to notify the
patrons that the entire course will
be covered and a full term s work
done without extending the term
any longer than necessary ”

The professional bee raiser can
doubtless make more money out
of extracted honey than from
comb honey, but for the farmer
with but few colonies of bees anc
a moderate surplus of honey to
sell, comb honey will be found to
be more profitable.
The first thing to do in honey
production is to learn how to han
dle the bees without injury to
yourself or them. Do the work
quietly and quickly, and if yqu
are nervous, do not attempt to
handle them at all. Never open
the hives in cold or rainy weath
er, and always remember to have
a smoker handy to handle the
bees to the best advantage.; Do
n ( ot depend' on orchard and flower
garden to furnish food for the
bees, but* provide them with what
is needed, or other blossoms, so
located that they can be reached
without the bees flying near the
house.
Start with one hive, and do not
increase the number any faster
than you learn to care for the
bees and honey properly. In
marketing honey see that the
product is first-class, and if possi
ble secure a retail trade for it. If
this cannot be profitably 'done
supply your home grocer. Put up
the product carefully and cleanly.
Have your name and address on
each box, and you will soon work
up a profitable trade.

The following surprising but de
lightful paragraph is from the
Utica (N. Y.) Observer, and is
like music in the ears of the
South: /‘General Robert E. Lee,
whose 92d birthday anniversary
was celebrated yesterday, was the
greatest soldier produced by our
civil war. The fact that he
fought on the wrong side has but
slight bearing on his military
genius, although it had much to
do with detracting from the sub
stantial fruits of glory, which
would have been his in abundant
store if he had been the Union
commander—a place reserved for
him by Wingfield Scott in 1861. ”
When you See a man wearing a
long face, this week and looking
generally disconsolate, you can
safely conclude that he is trying
to think of new cuss words to
apply to the bulls and bears who
aid that trap in Wall Street and
fleeced the lambs throughout the
country. The collapse of his
lurse will have its effect on the
average man’s face much quicker
than will the collapse of his
lealth.—Ex. .
