The Moe,,ouito.

A writer in Harper's Magazine, for
April, gives the following description Of
the mosquito, which should have place
in the next work on natural history:
"The mosquito, is an offensive and
venomous species Of insect. He abides
in swamps and marshes, though he does
by no means confines himself to those 10.
calities. His bill is long, sharp and
piercing, and his voice is like unto it. In
these respects he differs not from the
snipe or sand-hill crane; neither as to
his general ersonal appearance, particu-
larly when on the wing. He also much
reminds one of Scotch bag-pipe, and yet
is unlike it, inasmuch that his piping
ceases when his bag is full, and vice rersa.
He delights in blood and torture, and his
cruelty is particularly manifest, in that he
invariably sucks his victim through tube
instead Of swallowing him at once. His
appetite is Unsuitable, and is limited only
by his capacity. When full, he rctires for
time, but like the chamber Of Colts
revolver, returns to the charge as often as
he goes off; 50 also, if he be driven away
forcibly, and for this his pertinacity is re-
markable. But of what possible use he
is wot not, unless it be as model of in>
dustry and perseverance.

MiXingsup the Babies.

The Weaveryille (Cal.) Journal gives
the following account of an affair which,
however it may move the laughter of our
readers, we fancy to have made some OF
the parties concerned 'slaugh on the
wrong side Of their mouths
t'.Some time ago there was dancing
party given up north, most of the ladies
present had babies, whose noisy perver.
sity required too much attention to permit
the mothers to enjoy the dance. A num-
Der of gallant young men volunteered to
watch the young ones while the parents
INDUCED in breakdown No sooner
had the women left the babies in charge OF
the mischievous devils, than they stripped
the infants, changed their clothes, giving
to one the apparel of another. The dance
over it was time to 90 home, and the
mothers hurriedly took each a baby, In
the dress of her own, and started, some to
their homes ten or fifteen miles of, and
We're far on their way before daylight.
But the day following there was prodig-
ious row in that settlement; mothers dis
covered that single day had changed the
sex of their babies observation disclosed
startling physiological phenomena, and
then commenced some Of the tallest female
pedestrianism; living miles apart, it res
quired two days to unmix the babies, and
as many months to restore the women to
their naturally sweet dispositions. 10
this day it is unsafe for any of the baby
mixers to venture within that territory.

An Englishman, dining in Chinese
village, was greatly enjoying a savory
dish-something of hash, it appeared
and would have expressed his pleas
ure to the waiter, tall, solemn 'sCeles-
tial," who, however, understood nothing
of English, nor could our friend utter
a word of the language of China. But
though eloquence was denied them at
the time, wit was present, and answered
the purpose. The smacking of his lips
indicated satisfaction, and then came a
question ingeniously put Pointing at
the portion of meat in the dish, and
which he supposed to be duck, the
Englishman, with an enquiring look,
said, "Quack, quack, quackw The
waiter, gravely, shaking his head, as
much as to say no, replied, "Bow, WOW,
