Quite a number of our citizens assembled in Kreeger’s Hall to listen to a lecture on "The Philosophy of Self Culture, and our Educational Institutes," last Monday. The speaker began by saying that the desire of mental aliment and culture which manifested itself on every hand, and the means and agencies provided to meet and nourish it, appear to be the most happy omens of the times on which we are cast, and the best pledge of the good time coming. Through the far-scoring wisdom of our forefathers, the glory of our land and the stability of her institutions have been based on the spirit and intelligence of an educated people; and hitherto we have seen the sufficiency of these means for preserving to us all that’s dear to memory and hope through the strain of civil war and the hostile criticisms of our neighbors. For a long time, and up to a recent period, it has been the cant of politicians around us, that so long as we were spared crowding and civil commotion America might hold on, but the moment she was tried with these evils our Republic would burst like a bubble on the stream, and follow the older Republics to their destiny, and leave nothing behind but a memory and a lesson to mankind. This and much like it has been put to silence and shame by the fact that we have passed through ordeals that would have shattered to pieces the firmest dynasty of the old world, and we have lost nothing but a reinnant of feudalism that was our dishonor and our weakness. Our schoolmasters have been abroad, and our educa- BEE-KEEPING. An Attractive and Profitable Industry—The Mountains East of Anaheim the Paradise of Apiarists. BY BRAINARD SMITH. We enter upon a consideration of the subject of bee-keeping with great pleasure, for it is our own business, and we love it much. The rise and progress of bee-culture throughout the world is a rosy theme than which none is more fruitful, inviting and instructive; a subject on which much has been written, and on which much more remains to be said; and a complete narrative of the history of the busy little bee—which is truthfully said to improve each shining hour—showing what she has been made to do and is still doing for mankind, would, without doubt, be very interesting both to the apiarists of our vicinity and readers generally, but a proper and full treatment of this subject would consume more time and space than our worthy publisher, Mr. Melrose, is willing at the present time to give me. Bee-keeping is a business which, from very small beginnings, has grown to mammoth proportions, and, as an industry, ranks among the first. With the modern appliances—the movable comb hive, and that very excellent invention, the extractor—together with the improvements in the facilities for the production of comb honey, bee-keeping early received a great onward push, and with the introduction of those appliances its practice rapidly spread, until now every portion of the country far and wide has its apiary; and with a degree of perfection heretofore undreamed of, a great industry has thus sprung up, growing daily in strength and magnitude. Indeed, the future prosperity of apiculture is a fixed fact, looming up brightly before us. With the inhabitants of the globe consuming over 2,500,000 tons of cane sugar per annum, as it is estimated they do, we can discern a very sweet tooth that not only promises a long and prosperous life to honey raising, but a rich source of national revenue. The present importance and, to some extent, the magnitude of American apiculture, may be seen when it is stated that it is estimated that there are 2,000,000 colonies or By culture we mean growth; by mental culture, the growth of mind; and by the agency of "self" in the matter, we mean that nothing can supersede our personal tact, skill, and application in this regard. By no means can we numerically increase our powers, but by a wise and persistent use of proper means we may increase our mental power and store indefinitely. In this attempt some knowledge of mind will assist in its culture. By consciousness we know that impressions of outward things come to us through our senses. And by reflection and observation we realize that our minds are receptive, and then active, operating on the subjects that strike us according to laws within the mind itself. In the same way we come to ascertain that we can retain facts, or recall them at pleasure, that we can group a number of facts and see what results from any combination of them; that we can gather up a number of perceptions and put them into new combinations; that we can see what is integral and what accessory to objects, and so distribute them into genera and species, and that we can take the pictures that we have borrowed and put them in new combinations; and so we conclude the mind is receptive, then active, has memory, recollection, judgment, conception, abstraction, and imagination. Now, a cultivated mind is one which has these powers developed, healthy and ready for use on all occasions; and whatever be the extent of its stores, itself is the best treasure we can possess, for it is the basis of all high attainments in knowledge and mental sovereignty. How then, is this culture that are appropriate, and by self devotion to the task. The grammar and philosophy of language, mathematics, logic, reading and speaking are in place, and supply the mental praxis which we deem to be indispensable. Why should we determine to secure this high culture? Because, 1. It will fit us for adapting ourselves to new positions in life. If clay now, we can make ourselves porcelain, and adorn our success with high distinctions. We have all seen how a self-educated rail-splitter came to the fray, passed through the severest ordeals ever attached to man, and departed amid the tears of civilized society, and is embalmed in the honors of history, in every language and land. What has been done may be repeated, and Lincoln may not be the last great man to rise, like Pompey's pillar, above the crowd, and illustrate the genius of our free institutions. 2. This culture will assist in the formation of character. Reputation is, I am said to be; character is, I am; and while we are right at the centre, the circumference will correspond in due time. And that character which is fabricated by deeds well performed, and principles that never bend will keep us right and steady, even if other advantages fail us. Bee-keeping, indeed, has proved most successful, and it is a business which possesses many attractive features, and offers many inducements. It offers great pleasure and much fascination to those engaged in it, and proves to the genuine bee-keeper a most wholesome recreation. Perhaps no other class of manual laborers, in all the realm of rural pursuits, associate themselves to their business with as much tender liking as do bee-keepers. An earnest, faithful apiarist is a man wedded by great love to his calling. He is an enthusiast, and cannot kneel down before a swarm of bees to study the instincts and habits of the wonderful workers and note the wonderful economy of the hive, without experiencing the greatest delight and admiriration, without possessing a high reverence for the book of nature. To the true science has thus sprung up,growing daily in strength and magnitude. Indeed, the future prosperity of apiculture is a fixed fact, looming up brightly before us. With the inhabitants of the globe consuming over 2,500,000 tons of cane sugar per annum, as it is estimated they do, we can discern a very sweet tooth that not only promises a long and prosperous life to honey raising, but a rich source of national revenue. The present importance and, to some extent, the magnitude of American apiculture may be seen when it is stated that it is estimated that there are 2,000,000 colonies or swarms of bees now in our States, and 70,000 bee-keepers, with a probable yield of 45,000-000 pounds of honey annually; while the production of wax is figured at two million pounds. This is truly a remarkable exhibit, if we take into consideration the age of bee culture proper in America, which is about thirty years. Probably in no department of rural affairs has there been such an onward march as in apiculture, though but few comparatively have noted the progress. Very attractive, producing much pleasure,and giving good profits, it is a business to adopt. May any one keep bees? Emphatically No. A lazy man should never undertake it. Put such a man among active, energetic bees,and the connection would be a most incongruous one. Such a one would fail quicker in apiculture than in almost any other location.No let him who is not willing to roll up his sleeves,sо to speak,and enter upon the duties of bee-keeping with Spartan energy,sо seek some other and more suitable occupation. Then,theo there are some who are specially interdicted from bee-keeping by reason of their systems being too susceptible to the poison intruded with the bee's sting. Apicultural history presents many serious cases from this poisoning. He who is intelligent,energetic,cautious,and ready at a moment's notice to obey the calls of bee-keeping,how has no thought of delay,may take up this business as a specialty,vith good prospects of success.During the busy season,通过swarming和the gathering of honey,the good bee-keeper is always on the alert both in mind and body—constantly with his bees and persistent in the highest degree.Such a one will succeed in apiculture. Bee-keeping indeed,has proved most successful,and it is a business which possesses many attractive features,and offers many inducements.It offers great pleasure and much fascination to those engaged in it,and proves to the genuine bee-keeper a most wholesome recreation.Perhaps no other class of manual laborers,在all the realm of rural pursuits Associate themselves to their business with as much tender liking as do bee-keepers.An earnest,fairish apiarist is a man wedded by great love to his calling.His an enthusiasm,and cannot kneel down before a swarm of bees to study the instincts and habits of the wonderful workers and note the wonderful economy of the hive Without experiencing the greatest delight and admirorationwithout possessing a high reverence forthebookofnature.Tothetrue,sciencehas thus sprung up,growing dailyin strengthandmagnitude.Indeed,thefutureproperofapicultureisafixedfactloomingsubhives,andtheskillfuluseoffappliances.Hewhopossessesthetissueandisfavorablylocatedatage.mayhopetorealizethehighage.Whilethishigherpercent surprisestotheexperiencedapiaritylysetstheinexperiencedwork doubting.

And that character which is fabricated by deeds well performed, and principles that never bend will keep us right and steady, even if other advantages fail us. 3. This acquisition will fit us for usefulness to others, and rising ourselves on the rising tide when it comes our way. Just because our educational institutes are auxiliary to these ends they deserve our confidence and regard. In traveling through some parts of Europe you will see splendid specimens of high art, and grand monuments of piety in the cathedrals that throw their shadows over the land; but I prefer the modest district school and the plain colleges of our land to those foreign specimens of barbaric splendor; for they are for all the people, while the latter are luxuries only for the rich. By all these considerations high culture is commended to you, and let it be seen in coming days that I have not spoken and you have not heard in vain. The Buffalo Colony. Mr. Olden is in receipt of a letter from Mr. McLaughlin, the manager of the colony now being organized in Buffalo, N.Y., to immigrate to California. Mr. McLaughlin acknowledges the receipt of papers sent him by Mr. Olden, and asks for further information. He says: "If the members of the colony go to your section, Centralia would no doubt be the favorite spot, and your very lowest price and terms for small farms, and for 500 acres, would be thankfully received." He further says that although there are seventy members in the organization, it is very possible that they will not all settle in the same locality. Most of them may come to the State together, but they will then select locations for themselves. Even if the colony is not successful, Mr. McLaughlin says that at least twenty families are bound to come. It is needless to say that Mr. Olden will do all in his power to get them to settle here, and he has the heartiest wishes of our people for his success. We also refer to the uses which honey is being put to, as among the inducements which urge the adoption of apiculture. The use of pure honey in the households, in lieu of adulterated sugars and syrups, is assuming formidable proportions; the housewife is learning that the use of honey for almost every kind of cooking is as pleasant to the palate as it is healthy for the stomach. If proves to the genuine bee-keeper a most wholesome recreation. Perhaps no other class of manual laborers, in all the realm of rural pursuits, associate themselves to their business with as much tender liking as do bee-keepers. An earnest, faithful apiarist is a man wedded by great love to his calling. He is an enthusiast, and cannot kneel down before a swarm of bees to study the instincts and habits of the wonderful workers and note the wonderful economy of the hive, without experiencing the greatest delight and admiration, without possessing a high reverence for the book of nature. To the true scientific bee-keeper, apiculture proves elevating to the whole man; improves the mind and observation, and draws out the affections in a high degree. The wide-awake bee-man, though he may be living in the seclusion of mountains, separated from many happy, congenial associations, is never lonely. His pet bees are his comrades, and their wonderful movements are a continual intellectual feast. Then, also, among the inducements to apiculture may be mentioned the offerings which it places upon our tables in the form of delicious health-giving food. All our sugars and syrups of commerce are poisonously adulterated, but the apiary gives us pure, wholesome sweets, either in the form of comb honey or the more grateful and wholesome nectar—extracted honey. For its medicinal effects and health-giving properties I give the preference to purely extracted honey inasmuch as it is entirely free from wax, which is indigestible. This extracted honey is furnished by the use of a retary machine styled extractor. The combs from which the honey is to be taken are placed within the extractor, and by centrifugal force the honey is expelled in bright, broken beads, entirely free from all dirt. Think of this healthful nectar, and then consider how our sugars are manufactured.

He has realized $6,000 in five years, simply from the honey taken from 50 warms. This $6000 is in excess of all exotic bees on infinitely superior strawberry cakes, she uses honey. The preserving quality of honey in preparations blackberries, raspberries, peaches, peanuts, and other fruits is far superior to that of oak who has once tried honey in making up fruit will not use sugar; besides sweetening power of honey extends甘蔗汁 of sugar, and it is cheaper than sugar syrup. We would like to give the housewives of Los Angeles county a number of receipts for variegated honey cakes and other palatable dishes, giving the delightful efficacy of honey, but we will not new permit. Our nectar from the apiary is no longer a duty: thousands upon thousands of pounds now used where but a few pounds were metfore used. It has found its way into manufactories, and is largely used for make-candy, also for flavoring tobacco, etc., well as in every place where sugar or syrup are formerly used. Then, too, bee-keeping is a profitable business, when it is intelligently practised under improved modern methods. Many statements have appeared from time to time relating to the profits of bee-culture, which at sight appeared wildly extravagant, especially to many of the bee men in this vicinity, who laboring under certain disadvantages could not believe the truth of the assertions, but the actual experience of many proved the statements to be more truthful than wild absurdities. It is claimed that just gain of from one hundred to five hundred per cent. (a wide range) has been made among bee-kepers, not only in California, but in the Atlantic States. But it must not be understood that sickle-wheels, indolent, heedless men can reach such success. The profits in bee-culture are proportion to the amount of intelligence, vigilance, and tireless industry employed together with Italian bees in movable hive hives, and the skillful use of all modern appliances. He who possesses these qualifications and is favorably located as to pasturage may hope to realize the higher percentage. While this higher percentage brings no surprise to the experienced apiarist, it greatly sets the inexperienced to wondering and dubbing. In concluding my remarks on the profits of bee-keeping, permit me to quote the following from Cook's Manual of the Apiary: "Who will doubt the profits of apiculture in the face of friend Doobittle's (an Eastern man) experience?

Chapman has served written notice upon a number of Central Colonists, to mount their premium within thirty days from the time of service of notice. This action is taken on account of the non-payment of the monthly instalment of $12 54$, called for in the contract, and will apply to nearly every one of the Colonists. The Colonists claim that Mr. Chapman has failed in many respects to comply with his obligations as per contract, notably failing to supply water for irrigation, and that neither law nor justice would compel them to make further payments until he shall fulfill his part of the agreement.—Fresne Republican.

He has realized $6,000 in five years, simply from the honey taken from 50 warms. This $6000 is in excess of all expenses except his own time." Again: "Bee-keeping made Adam Grimm a healthy man. It brought to Capt. Hetherington over $10,000 as the cash receipts of a single year's honey crop. It enabled Mr. Carbison (our California bee-king) to ship from his own apiary eleven carloads of comb honey as the product of a single season." In the great strides made in apiculture the southern counties of California, and notably Los Angeles county, though all young in the fruit business, have placed themselves in the front ranks. Indeed, Los Angeles honey, such as the mountainese of Anaheim afforded, has been renowned for its color, flavor and weight. A paragraph or two on the importation of bees into California may be interesting. The first introduction of bees into California by Mr. Shelton took place in March, 1853, consisting of twelve colonies, but from various causes these dwindled away to one swarm. This one was taken to San Jose, where it threw off three swarms in the first season.oon after this Mr. Shelton was killed, and on the settling up of his estate two of these swarms were sold at $105 and $110 respectively. From 23 swarms, which had been gathered together in 1856, there was an increase of 73 during that year, and 400 pounds of honey obtained that year sold at from $1.55 to $2 per pound. Compared with the present low range of honey, such figures are exceedingly interesting, to say the least. During 1857 and 1858 other swarms, few in number, were imported from the East and readily sold upon their arrival here, for $100 per colony. In 1858 24 colonies were distributed in Los Angeles and adjoining counties, and it is claimed that their progeny furnished most of the wild bees of Southern California, as well as the basis of the recent increase in certain localities. At this time, 1859 and 1860, prices for swarms still running high, large numbers were brought to and distributed throughout California; but the business suddenly received a check. With the incoming bees, that dreaded of all bee diseases, foul brood, was introduced, and spreading rapidly, threatened the total destruction of the entire business. Many persons lost heavily, and the high prices suddenly collapsed, until there was no sale for the poor bee. For several years after, bee-keeping in California was fought shy of, but once more, in 1869 and 1870, the business received a new stimulus from the encouragement which many gave to it by their splendid success; and from this period dates the substantial beginning of apiculture in our southern counties, which, in point of production and quality of honey, have not their equal in any of the sister States of the Union. In 1870, 1871 and 1872 there was a steady but rapid movement towards apiculture in our State, which augmented and increased from year to year, until now we can boast of probably 40,000 swarms, with an annual yield of about 3,000,000 pounds of precious sweets—a remarkable growth; indeed, one that speaks in no uncertain tone to the world, while it intimates what California may yet do in her bee-keeping industry. While the southern counties generally are peculiarly adapted to successful apiculture, On Saturday last Elias J. Baldwin, well known as a capitalist and the proprietor of the Baldwin Hotel, took out a marriage license for himself and Virginia V. Dexter, and they were married soon after. The ditch and 540 acres of mining land of the Calpella Gravel Mining Co., Mendocino county, was sold at Sheriff's sale on the 21st ultimo, for $832.

McCarthy, was held Sunday evening at Virginia City, to condemn certain Representatives of Storey county on account of their course in the Legialature on the Railroad bill. Resolutions were passed denouncing Senator Wheeler, Assemblymen J. P. Smith, Allen, Tom Lane, Wm. Prisk, Flannery, Fulton, Pewell and Andrews. Speeches were made by Senators Stewart and Boardman, Speaker Gaston, Assemblymen Foulks and J. H. Graham; denouncing the traitorous Representatives as slaves to the sack and men who should be kicked out of the community. Resolutions were also passed thanking Senators Stewart, Gibson and Shultz, and Assemblymen Gaston,Lyon Harlow,Hanna and Fraser,the members of the Storey county delegation who stood true to their pledges. The business of sweeping out school houses has long ranked on a par with the learned professions in this city, so far as pay is concerned, at least. As high as $170 per month is drawn by one of these fortunate gentlemen and few of them receive less than $100 per month. The teamster of the Board of Education manages to keep the wolf from the door on $250 per month. The Supervisors wisely believe that large reductions can be made in the school estimates without detriment to the public welfare.-S. P. Chronicle. At the municipal election at Salinas,Monday,the Citizens elected the City Marshal,Accessor,two out of three Councilmen,and two School Trustees.The Workingmen elected only one Councilman and one School Trustee in the Third Ward.

It is no injustice to say that, as a class,they are as tough a set of female angels as ever offered their services to a forbearing and forgiving people. Though they have been in service from five to twenty-five years,the is not one in ten of them who can decently tan a beef-steak,或 make a cup of coffee which does not contain a thousand grounds for complaint.
