Tho Predatory Mosquito.

Th0 ffe00tOfy mosquito.
On balmy wings Of starry night by summer
breezes blown, there comes voice no ear can
slight: feathery monotone of awful portent
Whirring round our poor devoted ears, the
echoes Of that goddess sound awaken all our
fears and make us curse the summer night
with all its shadows Of delight All useless
fall our vigorous blows to mash the sharp in
truder, for when we smite. away he goes, be-
yond our reach. Seclude ourselves as best we
may, or draw the netting close about us, the
fiend is sure to find flaw, through which to
bite and route us, from dreams that might be
passing sweet, but for his guile and base
deceit.
For in the silence Of the room he Silly sits,
in waiting. He peers athwart the lonely
gloom his secret soul initiating with ghoulish
dreams of human blood. He waits to hear
our snoring; then goes for his nocturnal
food without delay. Exploring our poor,
prone bodies DER and DER, he revels in pros
pective gore. At last, with instinct sure as
sin. he finds nice blue vein, and rips his
little dagger in and pulls it but again, until he
gets his baggy paunch as full as it can be.
And then he sits upon his haunch and
chuckles. Gaily he then squirts some poison
in the wound, the while his lullabys resound.
The pang goes shooting through our nerves,
till, awakening with sense Of pain, we seize
the nearest thing that serves. and seek the
predator. In vain Upon the distant Chin
ney-pot he sits, serenely whetting his CORY
bayonet red-hot for the next days blood-let-
ting, and gently croons an artful chorus, to
warn us that he means to bore us.

The Wilmington, N. c., Post says that, for
the FIRST time since the war, there is q pletho-
IA Of money in the bank vaults Of that city,
which cannot be loaned at the high rates
asked-12 to Is per cent It says there is no
business in Wilmington that will bear the pay
ment of any such rate. It advises banks to
lower their rates--to pay no more than four,
five or six per GEN.. to depositors, and that
eight per cent is an they should charge Dor
rowers, and thus stimulate their trade, which
is dull there and everywhere.

The Lyncbburg Kirg MAN relates this bit Of
rascality: "By means of false key some
scoundrel obtained access to the books of the
Commissioner OF the Revenue, on Sunday,
and so mutilated them as TO render them
almost useless. They are SO cut to pieces
that but few of the names remain legible.
This piece of vandalism necessitates doing
nearly the whole of the work over again,
which will occupy two or three months and
throw back the financial affairs Of the city
that much. The Commissioner has no sus-
picion as to who has perpetrated this villain
Gus outrage"

THE SWIFT COMET.

years since any comet has been near enough
to attract the attention of the public in any
great degree, and we may therefore expect to
enjoy very decided astronomical sensation
during the approaching heated term. Pro-
lessor Swift is not, as might be inferred from
the various announcements which have been
made, the first discoverer OF this comet. It
was first seen at Marseilles, France, on the
18th Of April.

Insurance companies have cause OF rejoic-
ing, but no more than all honest men, at the
conviction and prompt sentence Of the physi-
clan in New York who buried nineteen bricks
in coffin marked Louisa Germs, and there
upon undertook to collect policy on the life
Of Louisa Germs for $4,000 There was no
possible question about the conviction, save
the doubt as to whether the manifest attempt
to defraud came under any specific law; and
the counsel for the swindler, very adroitly in
sisting that he was to be tried on legal, not
moral grounds boldly asserted that there was
no law to punish hin. The judge and jury
took different view, thereby certainly serving
the ends of justice, and also, We think, keep
ing fnirly within the law. Fraudulent fune-
rails will hardly vex insurance officers again,
at least till Dr.. Uling's eighteen months SEN
tence has been served out.

The MANUFACTURE, OF W1RE.-There are
sixteen wire drawing manufactures in New
England, of which that at Worcester, Mass,
is the largest. The wire rods are heated and
rolled in grooved rollers until they are re-
duced to coarse wire about one-eighth of an
inch in thickness, and they are then passed
through draw plates until they have been
further reduced to the desired size The draw
plate consists usually of fat piece of hard
steel, with holes corresponding to the various
numbers or sizes to which the wire is to be
drawn. Plates for fine wire are prepared
with perforated rubies or other hard stones
The wire is annealed and drawn cold, an
operation which sometimes has to be repeated
several times before the wire is finished. Iron
and brass wire may be drawn at rates varying
from twelve to forty-f five inches per second.
The finer sizes Of silver and copper are drawn
at the rate of sixty to seventy inches per sec
ond. Gold and platinum have been drawn to
a spider line by coating the metal with silver,
drawing it down to the finest number, and
then removing the coating by acid, leav-
ing the almost imperceptible interior WIRE
Wire thus made for purposes of experiment in
London is said to have been SO fine that a
miles length weighed only one grain.

WEATHER, BUSINESS, ETC.

The state OF the weather yesterday wae
such that wo might safely say it was the
worst. for all purposes, of the season. W.
had but Leavy rain from early morn until
late in the evening and is still raining as w
close our report and we had thunder all day
with vivid lightning at times, and the fall
of water was heavier than We have seen II
forsOme time back, the streets and banqnettes
being overlooked nearly all day long and
making walking very bad, and happy were
they who had no business to call them ont
of the house. The wind during the day was
from the northeast
Not much business could be reported for
yesterday, although, regardless of the rain
we noticed much freight going towards the
Duachita Belle and Pargoud, and elsewhere,
bat little was done.
The river was on stand last evening,
evidently caused by the strong northeast
wind that prevailed during the day, but it
is feared that if the rain of yesterday has
extended any distance up the river that we
shall have to report another rise before
many hours, although we hope and pray not,
for such result might prove fatal to Onl
city.
Nothing new in freight tariffs.

Owing to the extreme inclemency of the
weather, all Of our transient steamers, as
well as some of the local packets, had to
lay over until to-day. Our departure list
for to-day will define the boats and their
trades.
The mails having all failed on yesterday
we are without our regular Memphis cores

very bad we were unable to pick up any
