The MosoUITo. There has been great
but there are few people whose musical
taste has been so delicately trained as to
appreciate the midnight warblings of the
| industrious little creature. Most people
would prefer the laundering melodies of a
Boston Jubilee, the rich, silvery voice of
some fair scharmer,' OF the clear, sweet
notes of the nightingale. We certainly
would; but in this world of wonders, posi-.
bly, there is some poor wretch who might
be persuaded to come where I'VE local. lies

sprites to him, and listen to their soft tink-
ling note. a VI ao'iAi la'4f
If there be such one among our read

Day after day and night after night these
tormenting, whining, relentless wrstches
wheel around our aching head, sing their
tfe-like notes, dance the Highland fling
upon our sensitive nose, endeavor to roost

vexations that mortal flesh is heir to when
mosquitoes are around. We knock at them
with our pencil, flop a towel at them, make
a pass at them with the paste brush, be.
dew their wings with a glass of water, spit
tobacco juice in their eyes, tcuss' 'em, but
darn me if they haven't got more lives than

EELL GATE.
New Drilling Appnratus-Prospect OF the
He'll Gate Being Removed.

A New Drilling Apparatus-Prospect OF the
He'll Gate Being Removed.
So much has been said concerning the obstruc-
tons at Hell Gate, or, rather. the barriers to the
tension OF our commerce. and so very little has been
done towards remedyinR the crying evil, except the
reckless squandering of vast sums OF money, that
people have almost ceased to hope for any sincere
movement in the way of clearing the passage. To
be sure the job has hitherto been charac.
terized by some rare tinkerlng, but the
time for that has passed away and some
thing must be done at once to free the channel.
Among the instruments invented for enecting
that desirable object model Of one by Mr.. Samuel
Lewis was exhibited last evening at 1873 Fourth
street. Williamsburg in presence Of an assemblage
OF well known engineers, for the purpose OF being
inspected and criticised. The machinery patented
by Mr. Lewis is for the clearing OF INSTRUCTED water
channels, such He'll Gate and for subaqueous and
upland drilling and blasting generally, as well as for
bred ging graphing lifting and other clearing opera
tons. The instrument Is apparently complete and
consists of steamboat, with screw propeller,
having amidshlps gang OF slxty.three vertical
drills worked by steam power, with crane for
raising weights and pieces OF broken rock, and q
device WHEREBY the vessel, when the drills are at
work may be raised entirely above the waves at
wnicn tine ts weight Is supported by SIX adjustable
pillars. II also Comprises an apparatus whereby,
when the vessel Is moving from point TO point, the
whole gang of drills may be raised simultaneously
above the bottom OF the vessel, and the framework
al the lower extremtes let INTO recess In the bot
tom OF the boat so as TO be entirely out OF the way In
gong over shadows and sandbars. 10 includes, also,
device whereby any one or the drills may be with
drawn and entirely taken out, wne the others are In
active operation thus avoiding loss time by stop
pages SiXty-three holes drilled simultaneously,
an the cartridges for blasting purposes let down
through tubes, provision being made against the
holes filling up with sand The model was thor
oughy Inspected after some explanatory remarks by
Mr.. John I. Kenyon. and pronounced perfect. NJ
merous advantages were claimed for II, among
others its independence OF tidal action, capabiy OF
drilling one or more holes at once, power OF insert
ing bar into each hole after the drill has been with
drawn and It's easy discovery by the diver together
with many others. lt Is also claimed that every
emergency or submarine drilling aud blasting has
been provided for. When the machine has been
fully completed trial at Hell-Gate will doubtless test
It's merits satisfactorily.

Elegant Horse Hotel.

The New York Herald sent a reporter
around a few days since to examine
and describe the stables of notably rich
"horse" men of New York. The fol-
lowing is his account OF the stables and
stud OF Mr.. August Belmont, (the rich
Jew banker who carried the Democratic
party around in his pocket last sum-
mer and knocked little George PEN
dleton's nose out of joint.) 1t shows
what different directions the luxurious
tastes of rich men take, and what money
can do in city like New York:
The stable OF Mr.. August Belmont,
the eminent banker. which is perhaps
the handsomest in New York, adjOlns
Eighteenth street and Fifth avenue. 1t
Is built OF brick, Ornamented on the
front with brown stone coping and is
two stories high. The carriage house
and stable measure fifty feet by one
hundred. II is paved with brick and
the sewerage and drainage are of Il su-
perior character. A skyllght ofgrained
glass diffuses n sOftened light through
the interior. The carriage house con-
tains eleven carriages of various kinds,
among which are three fourth hands.
The woodwork is grained to resemble
oak. On the right are harness closets,
containing ten sets OF carriage harness
and fifteen saddles, with handsome
show cases for bits and brides. A flight
OF stairs at the left of the carriage house
leads to ten apartments for the grooms,
all of which are properly ventilated and
comfortable. There are two wooden
pillars on each side of the carriage
house, with shields at the submits
which display the Belmont arms. a
bath room, with hot and cold water, for
the use of the grooms Is on the second
floor. In the stable are fourteen Stairs
and box stall, seven on side, In
each of which is an iron rack for hay,
lust above the horses head, and gal
vaniZed cast iron oat box below and on
the left OF the rack. There are no man
gers in the stalls. The partitions are
surmounted by iron latticework, and
over the head of each stall is an iron
tablet for the name of the horse. None
of these have been inscribed as yet.
Tire are fourteen horses at present In
the stable, viZ;--Mr. Belmonrs cele-
brated bay fourth hand team, the

mares, named Rose and Blanche, and
two Thrown mares to drive tandem
There is a zink-lined water-tank in the
yard, sixty feet of hose, a stone manure
pit, a house for q COW, fowls, Scotch
terriers, &c. The convenienCes and
and the equable warmth which is diff
fused by the hot air and hot water fur
naces in the cellar must be very con-
duclve to the health OF the horses. The
whole establishment is q marvel or ele-
gance, cleanliness and comfort.

Inc Dog Crusade.

Apparently there is one object on
which the entire newspaper press OF
this city agree, namely, that dogs are a
nuisance which should be abated. Such
a remarkable conjunction of sentiment
ought to be significant of something,
and it is. It signifies that public opin-
ion, in the abstract, is hostile to dogs,
realizes their utter worthlessness, and
sees the ever-present danger of the most
appalling of diseases, which turks in
the constitution OF these animals.
Every man believes that all dogs, en-
cept his otU1l, are a nuisance.
But for all this we predict that the
dogs will continue to live. Whether 1t
is a judgment upon the human race, or
a result of their own perverseness, it is
certain that no attempt to exterminate
the dog has ever yet succeeded. Even
in those Eastern cities. where they are
abhorred as unclean, dogs continue to
survive; nay, to increase and multiply.
We fear, then, that the present crusade
against this animal, melted by preva-
lence, more marked than usual this
winter of the dreadful disease of hydro
phobia, will end like former ones.
Alas! that it should be so.-PittSOMr9h

An UnIucRy BOItcr.


II seems that at least ono of the In
diana boilers has failed of reelection.
When it is considered that nobody
bolted from the Indiana Legislature
but those who felt sure OF reelection.
the fact that the constituents of one of
the resigning members went back on
him, makes it difficult to see wherein
the ':great Democratic victory" in this
affair consists. The miscalculatton of
this unfortunate bolter will have a
wholesale effect. It will make the
Democrats of the Indiana Legislature
think twice before adopting the resign
ing tactics a second time, as they have
threatened to do. Each fellow will be
afraid to tempt Providence and the
people again, lest he might be left in
the lurch. Consequently. we think
when the Legislature meets again,
which 1t will do next month, there VIII
be no boiling, and consequently the
Fifteenth amendment will be ratified.

why Governor Wells, of VirEin!", WAS
Removed.
Authorities differ about the cause of
Governor Wells removal. We pub
lished a statement yesterday that it was
in consequence of political unGriendll-
ness to Gen. Stoneman. The Baltimore
Sun says it is supposed to be in conse-
ouencc of the accusation of mail robbie
nv preferred against Wells. The letter,
it is stated, contained a plan which it
was alleged Governor Wells and other
radicals had agreed upon for the pur-
pose of selling out the Republican par
tv in Virginia. The Richmond cores
pondent of New York paper says:
="As to the probable cause of these re-
movals there are various rumors, and
the utmost excitement prevails IN re-
lation to the removal of the Governor
on all sides. 1t Is generally CONCEDED,
however, as the probable cause OF
Wells removal, that the commanding
general thought proper to suspend an
executive officers who was charged
with the crime of felony, in having
been a party to the robbery OF the
United States mails, as recently AL
legged. In this connection the missing
letter which is charged 10 have been
purioined by Wells & Co.. is said to
have contained an intimation that
Governor Wells, Judge Bond, the reg
lister in bankruptcy, General Orlando
Brown, late of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau; l.. Edwin Dudley, clerk OF the
Circuit Court. and D. B. Parker,
speciai agent of the Postofice Depart
ment, we're engaged in conspiracy to
sell out the Repu blican party in Vir-
ginia to the rebels; and further that
Judge Bond and General Brown, IN
consideration OF their services, were
to be sent to the United States Senate.
The letter closes with the remark,
Amt they a precious set?"
