I do not care whether yon call it a I tariff for n.r.nn, -wh i. lit. dental protection, or a tariff with discrimination in favor of Ameri can industries, or a judicious tariff, as Jackson termed it; but every tariff mut protect to the extent to which it U levied or imposed.

Not only have we forsaken the log gums of onr fathers and given these bnsy little workers neat houses with moveable frames to contain their comb, but we have taught them to store their surplus comb-honey in small sectional boxes, so that it can be easily taken from the hives when full, and marketed in covenient shape. When it shall become generally known that bee keeping may be made a safe and highly profitable business, then we may expect to see this pursuit as . sume its proper position among the business interests of the. country. ! Adam Grimm,' "of Wisconsin, states that he has thirty-six thou sand dollars ont at interest, over Hialf of which is net profits from his bees in five years. j Capt. lleatheringtou, of New York, sold sixty thousand pounds of honejrat 30 cents per pound, all gathered in one season. ! A Florida bee-keeper states that he started the season of 1881 with 35 colonies which 'increased during the year to eigbty.aix, and that he took from them 0,500 pounds of honey. j Trof. Cook, of Michigan, reports $30 profits from a single swarm of bees in one season. j I have given the above to show beyond a doubfr that bees will pay -. mQr nml Hmt j -ni is., i - farmers will find them the most profitable stock they can keep. Bee-keeping requires intelligent attention and aptitude for the bus iness. Those who undertake it without applying the proper means are as likely to fail in this pursuit as in others. To insure success, in the first place, we 'must have the Italian bee, it being more prolific, more hardy and superior to the common black bee in every respect. A good hive, in the second place, is of prime importance. Tho es csseutial requisites of a good hive are that it gives the keeper entire control of the comb withont injury to the bees, and furnishes the means for securing a large amount of surplus honey, and the success ful wintering of bees. s j The colonies should be kept strong in number and rich in stores. A good bee-keeper should always be acquainted with the condition cf every one of his colonies, and he should know how and when to make artificial swarms. If your bees do not work sue cessfully in their new houses, it is the fault of the keeper and not hive. Study some good work on bees. Quite a number of books have been written, giving the history of the bee. its habits, the flowers it frequents and also describing the manipulation neces sary to secure good results.

IIakrodsbueg, Ky., April 27. The Hon. Phillip II. Thompson, this district, Congressman from this morning at G o'clock shot and killed alter II. Davis, a conspicu ous business and society tnan of this place. When quite young Thompson married a girl who in herited a passion for strong drink; but her inclinations were curbed while she wasunderinflucnce of her husband. Iu December last, when Thompson went to Washington, she began to drink beyond modera tion, and from this vice originated to-day's tragedy. .On his way to Washington, Thompson, at his wife's request, took her to Cincin nati, where he left her with Mrs. IJnckner, a relative, at the St. Clair Hotel. The next day Davis, who was a consiu of Mrs. Thompson, arrived, in Cincinnati, registered at the Palace, and, seeiug Mrs. Thomp son on the street, followed her to the St. Clair, where he registered as "II. Davie." In the afternoon he took her out to drive, and re turned with her iartly drunk. Af ter supper he asked her to go to the opera, aud they left the hotel for that purpose. At about 9 o'clock they returned.. Mrs. Thompson, being too drunk to find her way about, asked to be carried to Mrs. Buckner's room, but Davis carried her to his own room and detained her for over an hour. The night watchman reported these facts to Mr. Ilotb, proprietor of the hotel, who was prevented by his wife from expelling them from the house. When Mrs. Thompson came from Davis's room into the corridor she was so drunk that she could not walk, and was carried to Mrs. Buckner's room by the watchman. Davis returned home early the next morning, and Mrs. Thompson was sent home soon afterward. Miss Jennie Buckner, cousin of Mr. Thompson, wrote him about the disgrace of his wife in being left in the hotel iu a drunken condition, but did not acquaiut him with all of the facts. These he learned from tho proprietor aud watchman of the hotel. Ou Wednesday Mr. Thompson came home, and was here two days, but did not meet Davis. j This morning Thompson started for Lexington to look after a barrel factory he has there. On the same train Davis started tor Chicago. Four miles from Ilarrodsburg tho passengers change cars. On the first train they did not. meet. Thompson entered the second t rain first and took a scat about four seats from the door. Davis after ward entered the car, and, advanc ing toward Thompson, extended his hand and said : "iiow do yon. do, rhii n f Thompson arose, drew his pistol and said : "You - don t you speak to me w Davis ran out of the car, slam ming the door. As he reached the steps to get off Thompson fired at Davis through the glass. The ball entered the base of his braiu and lodged there. Davis fell from the car and rolled down the embank ment. Thompson came back ;to Ilarrodsburg, and at 10 o'clock he went into court and surrendered to the Judge. As he did so he said : "May it please your Honor, I know it is not customary on occa sions of this kind for the person appearing before the court to make any statements of the facts, but I deem it duo to myself, the position I ocenpy, the community in which I have lived so long, and who have so often honored me, that I should gay something in reference to this unfortunate affair. I need not point to my long life and unblem ished character for honor before this people" as a justification .of what I do, but I do feel that they sbould know from me, or hear from me, a portion at least of the history of the case. Last December, being called to Washington by the duties growing out of my position, I was accompanied oy my wiie to iiu cinnatLand being anxious to get to Washington as soonas possib e, I left that city on Monday, the same day1 of my arrival there, and left her i with-friends. The next day Mr. Davis, the deceased, came to Cincinnati, and, having met her upon the' street, registered himself at a hotel, and learning from her and the lady who accompanied her that she was stopping at the St. Clair Hotel, he followed her there, where be registered himself again under an assumed name, and took a room, il He then took her out, and having plied her with drink against the protest of her friends, nntil she was utterly besotted, well knowing her infirmity in that regard, con tinued his application until he car ried her to his room, debauched her, made her the victim, in her unfortunate condition, of his de graded lust, then turned her but to wander where she would until picked up by the night watchman and carried to her friends. Having accomplished my dishonor, he left the house before breakfast. While I had been informed before of some of the facts relating to her intoxi cation, and that he was the cause of her public exposu re and degra dation at the hotel, I did not know tho extent of the wrong until on Tuesday night last, as I came home. I was fully informed of the iufifmy which he had heaped upon her and my family. I do not believe that I will receive the censure of this people, but whatever is the will of the court I will bow to and bear with as becomes a goal citizen. This has broken up and destroyed my domestic relations, my peaca and happiness. My daughter, dear er tome than all else onrearth, is an exile from home, an outcast from society. She has sobbed herself to sleep on my bosom under this great calamity,1 part of which only she knew. This blood is but a feeble atonement for her tears, and if he had A hundred lives all of them would not atone for this great wrong. For the first time, this morning X wet him, and I feel that I did what every man who has a I home which he loves, and a uaugu ter dear to him, would do if he has the courage to defend tuem trom wrong. Iu this I expect and feel that 1 will receive the sympathy of the good "and virtuous, and now submit to the action of - the courts There was a profound silence in court, and few dry eyes while Mr. Thompson was speaking. JudcefC. A. Hardin said: "It is perhaps improper in me, occupy ing the position of Judge, to ex press to Mr. Thompson the sympa tliv I feel for him as a man. Under my official duty I am compelled to hold hiul to answer any charge the Grand Jury may find. I will allow him to crive bail in the sum of 5,000." I Iaf B Afraid Wrk. Don't be afraid of killing your self with overwork, son, is the facetious way the Burlington Hatch ee has of connciling young men to thrift. Men seldom work so hard as that ou the suum side of thirty. They die sometimes j but it is be cause they quit work ato l'. Al.and don't get home until 2 A. M. It's the intervals that Kill, my son. The work gives you an appetite for your meals : it lends sol id it 3' to 3'ou'r si umber ; it gives you a ierfect and grateful appreciation of a hol iday. There are young men who do not work, my sou young men who make a living by sucking the end of a cane, and who can tie a nicktie iu eleven different knots, and never lay a wrinkle in it ; who can spend more money in a day than you can earn iu a mouth, son; and who will go to the shritTs to buy a postal card, and apply at the office of the street commisioners for a marriage license. So find out what you want to be and to do, son, aud take off your coat and-make suc cess in the world. The busier you are, the less evil you wlli be apt to get into, the sweeter will be your sleep,the brighter and happieryour holiday, and the better satisfied will the world be with you. - Plitfc mm Farmlaf. i J Xewbera JearnaL Among the shipments of peas on the Shenandoah on Friday was a lot of one hundred and seventy-two boxes shipped by Jesse Brooks, one of the well-to-do colored farm ers of this county.
