CaAaGRuiAl FALug OF iNsEefs-Who thinks OF
II? And vet, in the ecoaOmy of nature of what
immense Importance they are in all seasons every
natuaralist knows, while in commerce the amount
derived from them is astounding. We have no
figures to produce in regard to our own trade for
statistics do not reach that high state of perfec
ton which viii admit Of it; but Great Britain pays
annually Sl,OUo,OOO for the dried csrcases of that
tiny insect known as the cochinea; while another,
also peculiar to India, gum shellac or rather its
production, Is scarcely less valuable. More than
1900 900 human beings derive their sole support
from the culture and manufacture OF the fibers
spun by the silk-wOrm, OF which the annual Cir
culatng medium is said to be 5000, 600 900. In
England alone we say nothing of the other parts
of Europe, $500 900 spent every year for the
purchase of foreign honey, while the value of that
which is native is not mentioned; and all this is the
work OF the bee; but this makes no mention of the
10000 pounds OF wax imported every year. Beside
ali this, there are the gall nuts, used for dyeing
and making ink; the cantharides, or Spanish fy.
used in medicine. In Tact, every insect is contfi-
buting, directly or indirectly, in swelling the
amount OF our commercial profits. Even those
which IN some cases prove plague and become
destructive, have their place in the economy of ma
ture, and prevent worse.

The waters are fast subsidng, and our planters
are busiy engaged in planting corn where thew
had hoped to realize a crop of cotton. Some are
Venturesome enough to replant cotton seed, and
are sangnlne OF as good crop of the feecy staple
as usual.
The overflow has not caused the amount of dan
ger we had feared it would, and if the planters
VINO nave suffered most succeed in raising good
corn crop, we question whether it will not be to
their advantage ultimately.
