THE MOSQUITO.

On first acquaintance he seems to be an
amiable and pleasant member of society.
He greets the ear with persuasive and
melodious note, which means in the most
oily manner, "My dear fellow, l am de-
lighted to see you But he don't improve
on acquaintance. The longer you know
him the less you like him. His ways are
insinuating and he would merely for the
sake of sociability, draw your last drop of
blood. He is social individual; and like
Mr. Darwin's dog, he would desert his
brother mosquitoes, ''and his sisters and his
cousins and his aunts," " for the society of
the human race This love of mankind has
grown for SO many generations until it is
actually part of the mosquito of the pres
ent century. He couldn't exist without
this part of his character.
Mosquitoes mover sleep. 1t was once
thought that they were divied into two
relief "Day mosquitoes" and might mos
quitos," but this is a popular error.
lie skips up behind you during your
afternoon nap, and becomes intimately ac-
quainted with you, and the very same fell
low with the speckled legs, without any
invitation, goes to bed with yon at night.
How he got through the bar, is one of
the most interesting and complicated ques-
tions connected with the mosquito subject.
At all events you know he did 60 TO bed
with you, and renewed his acquaintance
with you, and stayed with you during the
silent watches of the night, and you saw
him next morning at the top of the bar,
pleasantly rubbing his legs together and
looking very red.
1t is a popular fallacy that they die in
cold weather. They don't die. Sometimes
instead of slapping your nose out of joint
Won miss your nose and kill one, but that
is an accident.
They don't freeze to death-they hiber-
nate and come out on warm days for an
airing
Their appetites are extra good. They
waylay you, and sail up behind your back,
and stick their bill in you and kick up their
hind legs with delight
The mosquito came to this country with
Columbus; he is now fully acclimated, and

Lamar.
Grenada Sentinel.

The South never had tr1er defender
than Lamar. This is the language of that
staunch and able Democratic paper pub
lished in Yazoo City, called the Herald, and
such is the language of many other papers
now, which some months ago declared vely
different sentiments. Public sentiment now
in reference to this honest, wise, and fear
less man, is running in q very different
direction from what it was some months
ago, and justifies the confidence that we
expressed when he was under partial cloud
that he would, in the end, come out all
right, and shine brighter in the eyes of the
people, than ever. Lamar's character is
made not up of loose detachments without
strength or cohesive power, but is con-
solidated whole not to be disjointed by the
trembling fears of friends, or the angry
frowns of enemies. If there is o man OF
fixed principles, in the Senate of the United
States, it is Lamar, and sooner than violate
one of these principles, and do violence to
his convictions of right and wrong, he will
risk popular disfavor, relying upon the wis
dom of his course and the integrity of his
purpose to sustain him, when the ''sober
second thought of the people shall have
dissolved to doubt and excitement. He
does not care straw for popularity that is
not founded in sense of recttude and JUS
tice. His craftsmanship is, perhaps, too
philosophic to live constantly upon the
breath of popular favor. Thinking for
himself, and drawing conclusions by the
force of reasoning, he does not pause to
consider the consequences of acts that may
involve his standing before the public.
Henry Clay it was, we belle Q, who said he
would rather be right than President, and
our Senator Lamar has SO much of that
''Sterner stuff in him, that he would pre-
fer TO surrender the high trust contided to
him by the people of Mississippi, than
violate his convictions of duty.

Two peculiar cases of insanity were de-
veloped here to-day. The first was that of
n young lady who gave the name Emeline
Noble, and her residence INDIANA who
called upon President Hayes this morning
and informed him that she had arrived in
accordance with her promise to marry him.
The President said he would have to con-
suit some of his friends about the marriage,
and managed to get out of the room. She
was then taken in charge by an officer and
conducted to police headquarters. She was
rather finely dressed, and had just arrived
in the city to>daY, and seemed bent on
being married. Senator Voorhees,, upon
being informed of the case, and happening
to know her parents, requested that she be
sent to the Government Asylum for treat
ment. She will be sent there tomorrow,
in the meantime being provided with quar-
ters in hotel. She had with her $217,
which she parted with reluctantly, although
she was told it would be kept safe for her
at police headquarters. She appeared very
mad because the President did not marry
her, as she imagined he would, and said if
he had not consented by his silence in not
declining the offers she had sent him IN
letters, she would have married young
man in indianapolis. Miss Noble is about
twenty-seven years of age. and is not at all
bad looking, and, besides, is well educated.

At meeting of the Board of Supervi-
sors lost last Monday, Maj. II. W. Millsaps,
principal surety on the Moore bond, pro
posed to come in, take Moore's shoes, and
make the settlement that Moore ought to
have made, by paying tho amount of the
deficit, with eight per cent interest thereon
from July, 1877, and paying costs of Court.
This proposition was accepted, and on the
next day $1,440, which is said to be the
amount of principal and interest, was paid
over in county funds, and an order was
entered for the suit to be dismissed on pay
ment of cost. X. p. Clarke was the only
member opposed to the compromise, and
suggested as an amendment that Millsaps
pay interest from January, 1873, the time
of the default, The Board refused to en-
tertain Clarke's suggestion, and adopted
the order abovo referred to. There seems
to have been good many false reports cur
rent i'll regard to the default, but it was
generally understood that the amount would
be $3 800, to say nothing of the interest.
1t was even estimated that the default, with
thirty per cent damages, would amount to
s 10, 900, almost enough to pay the county
out of debt. But, alas !! what falling off
is there to public Observation-Disclosures
Ledger.

1t may be interesting to a large class of
readers to know just what menagerie
would cost them. There are, no doubt,
many deserving people in this country who
would Ike to add tiger or hycna to their
list Of household pets, if they only knew
where these docile creatures could be OBJ
tanned, and what the expense would be.
England does large trade in wild animals
and they are rather cheaper than in this
country. Still, the unhandiness of getting
them here more than makes up the differ
ence. Don't expect to get snakes and such
things by mail, they dislike to being stamp
ed by the active clerk and the clerk gener-
ally feels embarrassed when tie package
breaks open. A tiger or lion can be had
for S409 each; $50 gets very good article
Of leopard, although 800 will buy an infe-
rior kind; black panthers cost $3.50; cloud
ell tigers come as high as 81 800, and
economy would suggest a sparin6 invests
ment in animals of this class; lynx in
England costs $50, but they can be had for
nothing in Canada. Canadians miss lots of
good chances to catch lynx, for the
Kanuck generally has a foot-race against
time the moment he sees one, and thus me-
elects to seize him. The lynx that he
doesn't catch is the famous missing lynx
One hundred and twenty five dollars will
get you a polar bear, and $50 a brown
bear; brown bear is Just as satisfactory
as the others, and much cheaper; sloths
cost $50, but you can get plenty of them
in America, sitting around groceries and |
talking politics; 1925 gets very good wolf,
although many persons can got them
cheaper, in fact, they nave hard work keep
ing the wolf from the door. Aard wolves
cost asmuch as $500, no doubt because they |.
are SC Aard to get, Monkeys csst from ~ |
up to $500. OF course for the latter price |
a regular Darwin can be had. A zebra will
cost you $500. Be sure and get one of the
right stripe. Kangaroos cost from $50 to
$500. Feed them on hops. Every family
needs an elephant, and will be pleased to
Know that one three stories high can be
bought for the trife of 81, 800. A two
story elephant costs $3.50, a cottage ele-
ohant $500, while any amount of shanty
elephants, for parlor pets, can be bought
for $500. Now we come to luxuries. A
.hinoceros should not be INDUCED in unless
he purchaser has good bank account. A
very ordinary rhinoceros costs $1,000,
while pretty desirable article comes to
over $4,000. A person must have the
,hino to indulge in rhinoceros. Now go
ahead and make your selections. You
pays your money aud you takes your choice.

LAST Sunday, the Board of Health, in
New Orleans organized large corps of
Sanitary inspectors, who procured cabs
and at once proceeded to make thorough
inspection of the city, and if there was a
case of yellow fever, they were determined
to hunt it down. After visiting every lo@
cality where there was any suspicion, and
after driving for half a day, from one ex-
tremity of the city to the other, they an
nounced that there did not exist, in the city
limits, single case, which, by any possi-
bllity, could be taken for yellow fever.
