ALASKA MosQUIToEs.-A gentleman who
accompanied Secretary Seward to Sitka writes
that the mosquitoes OF that region do not
carry venom in their bills, but ON the con-
trary they emit delicate aroma which has
the anastbetic effect of chlorootm. Like
modern dentists they put their patients to
sleep before operating on them. So different
are they from the common species, that the
sired traeier no longer teels annoyed by the
buzzing of their wings, but rather courts the
music as a presage of good nights rest.
They are large and vigorous, and it is thought
by some, If care be taken to disseminate
them, they might displace the old variety al
together. Indeed, Mr.. Seward took pains to
have some OF them exported to the patent Of
flee at Washington, for distribution. This
was only one Of many discoveries that were
made in regard to the productions of the ex-
secretarys late purchase; and he recon-
mends that territorial government should
be formed at once, and the territory named

If the above named young man marries her
will he be guilty of bigamy? This double

Would she feel insulted if she were to spit in

WORD ABOUT AGRICULTURAL HORSE


In some such spirit as this 1 come to regard
that culture of the taste for beauty and
strength, and fitness for the service OF man, OF
brute beasts at this New England fair. 1t is
useful in training the eye to appreciate per-
fection among human kind. This is the mean
ing and upshot OF it all-or it has no worthy
result. To this end only has this extreme
development or the horses speed and endur-
ance-before that most ignoble vehicle, the
trotttng sulky-a claim upon the attention OF
reasonable people.
am no such churl as TO refuse to Join IN
the pleasure of the delighted crowds in at
tendance upon the horse trotting. Such en-
thusiasm is momentarily catchingand think
the beasts themselves share it. But have
no stomach for reporting races and shall leave
that TO the sporting papers. In fact, as n
farmer, the mixture of the two quite separates
interests is sad grievance. Horse faneiere
are quite strong enough to run their affairs
without the help of an agricultural society,"
If agricultural shows languish without the
hustle and dust of a racing, then let them;
though believe both would de far better
alone. British experience abundantly shows
this. From hasty glance over the Fair
grounds this afternoon my impression is that
the best stock in the country remains az
home The breeder might be tempted TO
show the results of his years of care in shad-
and quiet green meadow, but common hui
manity as well as selfinterest viii prevent
him from exposing valuable animals the sec
ond time TO the hot and sulfocating air and
demoniac shoutings of the trotting park. No
possible hope of premiums will repay the
damage.

of miscellaneous articles in the new city hall,

MINES AND MINEBs-How LONG THE M

REscuE-HERoIsM OF THE REsoUEBs.
PLYMOUTH, Pa, Sept. 10, 1860.

PLYMOUTH, Pa, Sept. 10, 1869.
The excitement of the past three days Is
gradually subsiding. The miners have not
vet returned to lwcrk, but 1t is thought that
Monday next will find the mines oil the Dela-
ware and Lackawanna Company occupied
and busy with the hum of labor as before.
Miners are a peculiar race OF men. Death in
its most horrible form and on the most ex-
tended SCALE as in the case OF the Ayondale
catastrophe, has no such terrors as to keen
them moment from running the same rist,
as did their unfortunate brethren who were
buried in Hyde Park Cemetery yesterday.
The very mine that has been the grave of so
many could find sufficient men willing TO go
down its shaft to-day and work in ITS fearful
chambers as it did on Monday last, when los
hurried to the summons of the bell and took
their last look of sun and sky forever.
There was a rule of the AVondale mine
that any man arriving at the mouth of the
shaft for the purpose of descending after the
bell tolled seven should not be allowed TO
work that day. Monday morning two men
came late, but only by few minutes. The
person in charge Of the cage refused to let
them go down, at which they grumbled and
swore, and threatened to be even one day
with the unaccomodating official. How al
tered their feelings of resentment must be can
only be imagined. Monday at ten oc.ock

CUBA AND THE FILIBUsTERs.

From the NJ Y. Herald.
Several weeks have elapsed since our sps-
oial correspondents in Cuba announced that it
was slack tide with the revOlutionists; and
this fact has recently been communicated to
the Government by Admiral Hof, who states,
In his official report from Havana, that neither
party seems to be doing much just now. Co
Incident with this state of affairs, the Cuban
Junta in this city made public few days
since an urgent appeal to that body from the
iHsurgent Generals MarmOl and FigueredO to
send them arms and ammunition; and the
tenor of all our advices from Cuba is uniform
in the statement that the revolutionists are
sadly deficient in these essentials. At the
present moment the partisaus Of Cuba are
making great exertions in this country to
eend 10 their friends in Cuba these necessary
supplies, and the agents OF the Spanish Gov
eminent in this city are equally active in its
behalf in forwarding similar material. The
only difference between the two consists IN the
fact that one side does its work silently but
efficiently while the other endeayors to 90 It's
labor with q great show OF results ana a
parade OF movement, after the style OF the
old flibuster days of Lopez and Quitman.
But there is no similarity whatever between
the two movements or between the aims ana
results OF the respective agitators and leaders.
The position of the Cuban question OF to-day
and the means available for its triumph are
widely distinct from those that attended the
same question in 1850. Even the attitude apd
principles of the combatants are changed, as
will be seen by very cursOry but exact re-

THE ALABAMA QUESTION.

From the " Y. Times
The report that Mr.. Motley goes to Eug-
land without any special instructions in regard
to the alabama claims, gains strength and
seems to be generally credited. We can easily
believe it, because, as the case now stands,
wiser Government than our own would be
sorely puzzled to know what instructions to
give him; and when you don't know Whdt to
do, the best thing to do, according to the old
maxim Ia, to do nothing.
1t must be pretty clear, by this time, 1--WE
imagine, even to Senator Chandler, that no
statesman can hope to gain popularity at
home by fomenting war with England. There
| is always sentiment among our people which
| is pleased with threats OF such war; aud
| Just so far as these threats can be INDUCED
| without actual danger OF war, 1t is usually a
''sure card" to utter them. Our Irish fellow
citizens are always pleased by that sort Of
| statesmanship; and, curiously enough, when.
ever any ambitious politician makes a strike
for popularity, his first experiment always is
upon the Irish. Even the Republican party,
| which never has had, and never will have,
anything but sharp and embittered hostility
from the Irish, every now and then shows its
stupidity by playing the same sorry farce
again and again, never gaining vote and
| never profting in the least by its failures
But war is not SO much Of joke with our
people as il used to be; and talk of wsr has
ceased to be quite so fascinating and Seduc-
tive, even for Irish voters, as it was before
the great Rebellion. Visions of glory are less
dazzling, and visions OF debt are great
deal more alarming, than of old. We are not
anxious to increase our investment in either
just at present. There are people who are
anxious to repudiate the debt we have already
incurred, and they, OF course, look upon a
war with England as the shortest way Of
reaching that result. They are doubtless
right, but they are not strong enough yet to
accomplish much. Nor do we observe any
large increase of the class of men who think
we ought to 60 to war because Eugland did
not "sympathiZs with us" during our Rebel
lion, but rather with the other side II be-
gins to be dimly discovered that lack of sym
pathy is not cause of war, and that we must
find ground OF hostility, If we find it at all, in
the acts OF the British Government, and not
in the feelings and sentiments of the whole
or any part of the English people.
II has been asserted very roundly that wa
shall by -and-by present our ''bill of damages''
to England and demand immediate payment.
Payment for what We have already refused
to regard the question as one Of damages, aud
have taken the ground that the injuries we
sustained from England's action are not TO be
measured by the value OF ships burned or the
commerce destroyed by the ships she built
and sent out against us during the war aud
the treaty, negotiated on this basis by the
