A PRETTY PICTURE.
- I mini> l limit Iti-i
Interviewing Mr. James F. Hart the other
i: y i :i the subject of bees, wt gleaned tile
fi'i'iuving: In three days he took-from a
ii .. hives hi pounds of comb honey and Tin
pounds of strained honey—all a beautiful
golden color and redolent of sweet clover.
Mr. Hart is a great apiarian, devoted to
tl.e study and labor attendant upon a
specialty.' He lias fifty-four sxvurnis in
good order—many ol'thein Italians. With
v, hat admiration and wonder one must
1 .ok upon the liny creatures! There are
hundreds of boxes in the hix'es, xvliich hold
just one pound of beautiful honey, all so
l ively capped over that one can carry it
a. y distance without its dripping.
"How much more honey," I asked, “do
you think you will be able to take '?”
“At least 1000 pounds,” he answered. “I
e in work every day for txvo months taking
a d extracting.”
"Which kind is most marketable?”
“ Well, in xvhat may be called the short
spring season, the comb honey is preferred
on account of its beauty, but as a saleable
article the extracted honey is best.”
Mr. Hart always protects himself thor
oughly xvitli bee veil and gloves, xvheu
v .i king xvith the tractions creatures, but
e. i-asiiuiully receives a sting from some
fed hot bee, more enterprising than its fei-
l'-'.vs, xvliich does not have much effect
i:;."in him. His eyes twinkle with laughter
v.ici he sees one and another Hying he
ir-a bee, slapping and gesticulating vio-
L’ltly. One little felluxv was stung six or
cglit times the other day, and 24 hours
1 .ter was a sight to behold. His face as
" -11 as his head; was level all around—
< lalun't see a wink. The bees resent the
mbbingof the hives more than usual this
w ar. Does instinct teach them to protect
'■•Lat they have, as the honev season liiuv
IX short?

GEORGE AND MARTHA.

<.’ihcago News Letter.
Lew historic women have been more
misunderstood than Mrs. Washington—his
“dear Paisy,” as Gen. Washington ad
dressed her in his letters. She was what
would now be known as a society woman.
She was beautiful, rich, talented, high
bred, and, it must be admitted, shrewish. I
J.t is a fact little known that the immortal
Washington was very much hen-pecked,
and the man whose contemporaries ail
agree that never was there so much gran
deur in any man's personal bearing, got as j
many curtain lectures in the course of
| the year as any man in the 1
) city of Chicago. The walls of Mount Ver- i
non are nothing but lath and plaster, and
! visitors tiie re would often near Mine.
Martha’s active tongue going like a steam !
engine far into the night. In Mount Ver-
| non Washington had a great landed estate,
I but no ready money. Mine. Martha, how-
• ever, had a'fortune in ready money esci-
| mated at £75,000—no they had anout an
| equal share in the place. A little way ,
from the house is what is called “the ‘
| office,” a building common to all Virginia j
, manor houses. This is sacred to the mas- !
I ter of the house, and is a kind of city of
’refuge. Here his women may not pursue. *
him; lie may keep his convivial friends in
; u ihe oflice” to any hour, free from inter
ference, if not from comment. His guns,
| his hunting and Ashing pharnphernalia.
j are kept here, and his dogs and noon eoni-
: panions and general hangers-on have the 1
run of the place. It is said that when Mir**.
; Martha became unusually difficult, Gen. ;
Washington would retire to the office. I
| which would fie victualed fora siege, and |
i sometimes site would not see him for a
l week. Washington's oflice is very well
adapted for a domestic blockhouse. It has
two large rooms down stairs, with fliv-
i place in one big enough to roast an ox
! whole. Between the two rooms is a great
| closet, where hoary tradition says the
| father of his count ry kept his bitters, liis
j strong waters and the Jersey lightning of
! the period. l"p stairs arc two more
* moms. Intrenched before a blazing
fm on a winter's night, with his
magazine and commissariat in the
closet up on a war footing, it may be well
I believed that this son of the immortals
1 couM smile defiance at t his only of his love.
'!'«• Mmc. Martha's credit though It must be
sain that she nagged iur lord U*cm*.mdously
when t hey v. «t« ,alone no disrespectful word
ever escape <\ her lips in the presence o. a
third party. It is said that the only set
back givrtt George ever got was on the sub
ject olMme. Martha. When the city of
Washington was being laid oia, one
