naments, on extraordinary occasions. live
fire flies, which, in the dark, emit q bright
phosphorescent light They belong to the
family Of leaping or springing beetles, and
are called by the Spanish cucujo. In order
to catch these bugs, the Indians fasten live
coal to stick, and move it to and fro in the
dark. The cucujo thinks this bright point q
rival, and in his anger, darts toward it, and
finds the grave of his liberty in the hands of
the Indian.
The Indians find ready sale for them in
the larger cities, where they are bought by
the wealthy ladies at about two reals (twenty-
five cents) dozen. They are kept in elegant
little cages, and fed on slices of sugar cane,
and bathed twice day, either by the ladies
themselves or by their maids. In the even
ing they are put into little sacks, shaped like
roses, and attached to the ladies' dresses.
The light these little bugs emit suprasses in
brilliancy the reflection of the purest dia-

lutely necessary, as without it they would
emit no light, which is sometimes strong
enough, it is said, to read by.

RIVERS AND STEAMBOATS,,

MEMPHIS, Aug. 9.-The river at this point
continues to rise steadily, and has risen about
an inch since last evening; but, notwithstand-
ing this, the outlook is much more favorable,
owing to decline at Cairo, and the reports
of officers of the Memphis and Little Rock
Railroad, along the St Francis, at Madison
Ark, and in the bottom between this point
and that which was nearly all submerged in
April before the water had reached its present
height, which may be accounted for by the fact
that all the bayous and most of the lakes were
empty while rank vegetation in the bottom
retarded the flow of water from crevasses and
much was lost by absorption and evapora-
uon. Unless the danger from the St. Francis
increases materially the damage between here
ana Helena from that direction will be in
significant and confined to a few plantations.
