y Few Words abomt RuSs.-The HinGoo
Rag in Particular.

Ma. In Particular.
. y careful investigation Of the subject of
Bugs will reveal the intensely interesting and
important fact that there are about one humid
red different specimens of the gehtrs or fami-
~ Cimtr. None of these are admired fer
their beauty or usefulness, and scarcely can
bug brag much on its popularity.
The bed bug approaches nearest the human
kind of all the family of bugs. In the winter
season it lies as fiat and docle as the demo-
cratic party in Maine, but the summer air
breathes into its crablike form the hr, ath of
life, and it comes forth to its mighty carnival
of blood. 1t is an admirer of Shakespeare
midsummer Nights Dream" W may not
demand permission to look upon it, 10 estab-
ish the fact Of its presence; the evidence OF
our own scent ses will convince US. The p0-
tato bug is the farmers help to ssnctifcaton;
the striped squash bugs come in drovts and
settle upon the expanding leaves and never
leave anything behind them but Il network of
CARRIED green. The student OF animated ma
ture has failed to discover the exact design Of
Providence in the creation OF the striped
squash bug. The destiny of the squash bug
is universally the same in ali ciimes. He is
peppered and sailed, covered with leached
ashes and plaster, entangled in the meshes of
cotton, and is often called to suffer the e.,
circulating agones of the thumb-screw.
And then there is the bug bear, -phantoms
that almost always prove to be barefaced
lies; the bug-ler, who prefers the shades OF
darkness for his work and despises plated
ware; the bg-bug, who forgets that he once
crawled, and now sticks up his head forgetful
that he belongs after all to the insect family
Our attention has thus been called to tile
bug family by a rare and curious specimen
captured by Gen. 3. L. Harris, il his garden
near the State House, and known as the Hin
doc species. 1t is about one foot and half
in length, has body that bets all the bug
csrcasses ever seen in this city, the skin or
scales of which are of reddish hue; eyes OF
steel and wearing spectacles made of Jews
harps, showing that this is no youthful bug;
legs and horns of wood, showing that this bug
is a Warrior and tail like that of peacock.
The gun in the State House yard was brought
to bear upon him before he would yield.
When captured he was found with the stump
of a at. D." pipe in his mouth, used last
winter by Jason Carleton in smoking himself
out of the republican party. This lindoo
bug is supposed to be the idol that Jason
worshipped while engaged in his labors of
love for the st. Dennis Academy. The bug
ger was making for White field when brought
10 by the unerring aim of Gen. Harris, who
is a dead shot. We have the specimen in
pickle.
