The Lee Monument.
SEDALiA, Nov. 8.

! Editor Baso:
We learn that Gov. Phelps has appointed
the justly renowned artist, Geo. &. Bing.
ham, n one Of the commissioners to select
the artist Who is to produce the gres, Lee
Monument, and that il Is thought by some
that Mr.. Bingham will vote for Miss Winnie
Ream. Nov, We think that il is to be
hoped that Mis- Ream will not be awarded
the undertaking OF this monument, which
is to be lasting and sublime testimony Of
the world Of the high appreciation Of the
exalted ability, the grand heroi@rn and the
incompatible nobility Of character Of the
most unex ampled chicfisin that ever com.
mandsd IN Amy. Miss K, il is true, has
produced what are considered doub;fully
passable busis and statues Of some apish
would-bes; but may not aspire to the crea-
ton Of . statuary monument in honor Of
Robert E. Lee; and we know Of no sculptor
better calculated to ariistically and salts
factorily rear this commemorative pile than
Mr.. Valentine, Of Richmond, Va.
This artist, in possession Of unsxamplesi
genius, has devoted his life TO the sculptor's
art, end for years studied under the greatest
masters Of the old world, among whom We
may especially specify Prof. Kiss. Of Berlin,
under whose unequaled instruction Mr..
Valentine studied assiduously for Eve years.
In addition to these arguments in his be-
half, We may add his intimate acquaintance
and association With Gen. Lee; and, second
ly, % for evidences Of his unques,ioned
merit and ability, you have but to examine
his busts and statues Of Gems. ] f. B.
Stewart, Stonewall jackson, r E Lee
himself, Henry A. Wise, and many Others,
that speak in eloquent praise Of the great
ne.s Of his genius, Of his refined cultivation
and his lofty, bold, yet exquisite produc-
tions.
Let Valentine, the personal acquaintance,
the intimate friend and the lifelong I'd.
mirer Of Robert E Lee, produce this mon
ument, is our suggestion.

How q Mosquito Bites.

Rochester (NY-l Democrat
At this time of the year the mos.
quito goes about its business very
quietly, but attacks as vigorously a
ever. Those Of our readers whose
fngerjoints are yet swollen from his
attacks may be interested in the exact
mode Of his operations. The bill Of a
mosquito is q complex institution. 1t
is admirably calculated to torment.
We were permitted to examine one Of
these tormen:ing bills under a mi
croscope through the kindness Of w.
NJ. Rebasz, Of this city. The bill has
q blunt fork at the end. and is ap-
parently grooved. Working through
the groove and projecting from the
centre of the angle Of the fork isa
lance of perfect form, sharpened with
a 6ne bevel. Beside it the most per.
feet lance looks like . handsaw. On
either side of the lance two saws are
arranged. with the points 6ne and
sharp and the teeth well defined and
keen. The backs Of the saws play
against the lance. When the mos
quito alights with its peculiar hum, it
thrusts in its keen lance and then en-
larges the aperture with the two
saws. which play beside the lance IN
I'll the iorked bill, with its capillary
arrangements for pumping blood, can
be inserted. The saving process Is
what CRATES upon the nerves Of the
victim and causes him to strike wildly
at the sawyer. The irritation Of .
mosquito bite is undoubtedly owing to
these saws. It is to be hoped that the
mosquito deeps his surgical instru-
ments clean. otherwise it might be .
means Of propagating blood diseases.
