Mosquitoes.

The poets have sung, and the scien
fists have been puzzled, and the marsh
land people have exhausted their best
read savants upon the mosquito ques
ton. But the Minneapolis Tribune gives
the origin of the dear, darling, little
buzzing insects in the following:
The Red River Indians have legend
respecting the origin OF moqultoes. They
say that once upon time there was a
famine, and the Indians could get nc
game. Hundreds had died from hunger,
and desolation filed their country. All
kinds of offerings were made to the
Great Spirit without avail, till one day
two hunters came upon white VOL
VERNE, very rare animal. Upon shoot
ing the white wolverine an old woman
sprang out of the skin, and saying she
was Manito," promised to 90 and
live with the Indians, promising them
plenty of game as long as they treated
her well, and gave her the first choice
of all the game that should be brought
in.
The two Indians assented to this, and
took the old woman with them-which
event was Immediately succeeded by an
abundance of game. When the sharp
ness of the famine had passed, the lndi,
ans became dainty in their appetites. and
complained of the manner In which the
old woman took TO herself all the choice
bits and this feeling became so intense
that, Notwithstanding her warnings that
if they violated their promise terrible
calamity would come upon the Indians,
L oh "A
upon her share of fat reindeer which
the hunters had brought in.
Great CONSERVATION Immediately
struck the witnesses of the deed, and
the Indians, to escape the predicted ca
lamity, boldly struck their tents and
moved away TO great distance.
Time passed on without any catastro.
phe occurring, and the game becoming
even more plentiful, the Indians again
began to laugh at their being deceived
by the old woman. Finally hunting
party on long chase of reindeer, which
had led them back TO the spot where
the old woman was killed, came upon
her skeleton, and one OF them, in deri.
sion, kicked the skull with his foot. In
an instant small, spiral.like body arose
from the eyes and ears OF the skull,
which proved to be insects. They at.
tackled the hunters with great fury, and
drove them to the river for protection.
The skull continued to pour out its lit
tie stream, and the air became full of
avengers of the old woman's death. The
hunters upon returning TO camp found
all the Indians suffering terribly from
the plague, and ever since that time the
red men have been punished by the
mosquitoes for their wickedness to their
preserver, the Mantle.

The following receipt is for two skins:
Make strong soapsuds, using hot water,
and let it stand till cold, then wash the
skin in it, carefully squeezing out all
the dirt from among the wool then
wash them in cold water sufficient to
cover the skins, and let them soak
twelve hours, then hang over pole to
drain. When well drained, stretch
carefully on board to dry. Stretch
several times while drying. Before
they get entirely dry, sprinkle on the
flesh side one ounce each of finely pull :
verified alum and saltpeter, rubbing it
well; then lay the flesh sides to-
gether and hang in the shade for two or
three days, turning them over every
day till perfectly dry. Finish by scrap
ing the flesh dry with blunt knife, to
remove any remaining scraps of flesh,
and then rub the flesh side with pumice
or rotten stone and the hands. Very
beautiful mittens can be made of lamb
skins tanned as above.

should be set down as electioneering
sophistries.
During the month of October, beside
reducing the public debt S5,22S All, in.
dependent of the greenback question,
the Government put into temporary cir.
cuation S4,566,664 of legal-tenders.
The explanation is simply this A law
of Congress authorizes the Secretary OF
the Treasury TO call in per cent. certifi-
Gates. Thedesign was To neither contract
nor expand the cure ncy OF the county
while granting the added banking facili.
ties required by the increased business of
the country. The exchange was author
lied to the extent of SD, 900, 900. In carry
ing out the provisions of this act the Secre-
tary found during last month that the
retirement of three per cents. exceeded
the issue of new nation al bank currency
81 $50 ,664, and, as the money market
was close, he rightly judged that the
Government ought TO remedy that slight
temporary contraction. He accordingly
put III circulation enough reserved
greenbacks TO make good the deficiency.
That is the long and short Of the whole
matter.
OF the $54,000000 of these per cents.
there are only about five millions left,
and these will soon be displaced by non.
interest bearing currency. The annual
saving to the Government by the retire
ment of these certificates will be 81 ,62O,-
900. On the last day Of the present
calendar year 81, 250,0OO more OF these
certificates are to be surrendered. The
notification has already been issued

Japs in Missouri.

A Kansas City paper of the Both says
Among the guests at the Broadway the
past two days was Mr.. S. Takato Agee,
from Japan, gentleman of great Ell.
terprise, intelligence and immense for.
tune, who has visited the city for the
purpose of inquiring into the feasibility
and probable results of establishing a
small colony of japanese near this city.
Mr.. Agee's purpose is to bring over
about 500 of his countrymen, establish
town within mile or two of this city,
and then take contracts for work upon
the streets or railways. 1t was the
original intention of this gentleman to
purchase body Of land on which to
locate his town, and have the women
and children engage in farming pursuits
while the men worked on contracts, but
he found that this project would have
to be abandoned on account Of the high
price of real estate. He now proposes
to lease sufficient land for the town, and
prefers it in Clay county, near the river
bank. If suitable location can be
found near enough TO the city, he will
also lease enough to farm in small
way-to raise sufficient for their own
consumption, at least. He will hire his
men for term of four years, and guar
antees them transportation back to Japan
at the expiration of that time.
Agee has wealthy relatives in San
Francisco, and left for Chicago this
morning to attend to some business Tor
them in relation to the shipment OF
teas to merchants in that city. He will
then return 10 this city, to see if he can
make the necessary arrangements foI
locating his COLONY.
