How 20 kin a mesquite.

To Kill mosquito requires a
combination OF tragedy and tactics.
There must be the mind to conceive
and the nerve to execute. There
must be a rapidity of movement
and promptness of action. In fact,
it takes a. high degree of military
skill to kill mosqjHto. OF course,
no person ever tries to kill a mosqui-
to in the air; or on the wing. This
has been done, but it is always at
tended by great outlay of muscular
effort and some danger. 1t is esti-
mated that for every mosquito kill
ed on the wing there are II ,063 ine-
fficient passes or blows. Each one
of the passes or blows represent a
certain amount of wasted muscular
effOrt-enough, probably, to raise a
weight of eleven tons through three
feet in minute, or il converted i'm
to heat, enough TO melt three quarts
OF brass buttons in aquarter of an
hour. Besides the powder thus
wasted by striking at mosquitoes in
mi,iair and missing them, a person
is very apt to wrench his frame or
Iniure himself in some way. A
very estimable gentleman OF this
city hurt himself 50 badly this way
some thr,,e years ago thathe has not
been able since TO put upa stove
pipe or even carry water on wash
day. A lady in aneighboring town
made dash at flying mosquito
last summer, while sitting near a
second-story window, and with
such force that missing the mosqui-
to she was precipitated out of the
window, and only escaped serious
injury by falling in the branches of
a peach tree which, by the way has
not borne any fruit since. 1t is
plain, therefore, that ii is not safe to
attack mosquitoes while they are on
the wing and in their native ele-
ment, as 1t were.
The way to kill amosquito is to
wait till he lights, and then still |
hunt him. The operator should |
keep perfectly quiet until the mo. |
squit0 unlimbers and goes into ac-
tion. In other words, wait till he |
has commenced boring. The in
stant that he strikes blood is the
time to strike him. Atthat instant |
he is wholly absorbed in filing his
stomach, and is partially intoxica-
ted by the first taste of blood. AT
this juncture bring the hand slowly
and cautiously over the little brute,
and, without moving the part OF
the body where he is operating,
bring the hand within about four
inches and a half of him. This is a
critical moment. If the hand is
brought too close the enemy scents
danger and flies away.
If the blow is delivered slowly he
by flank movement.
When the hand is within the re-
quired distance, summon all the
strength and energy of your nature,
throw your whole soul into the ef-
font, and come down on the enemy
with crushing force. If he Is there
when your hand reaches the objec-
tive point, the chances are that he
will be overwhelmed and destroy
ed. If he is not, then you have the
of knowing that you
have done the best thing possible
under the circumstances, and de-
serve success even if you did not
achieve it.

SEN. BECK is evidently well liked
in the South. Here is a neat COM
pliment from the Charleston News
and Courier: 'There is no doubt,
we believe, that Senator Beck will
reelected, and he deserves all
the honor that Kentucky can give
him. He is thorough going, pug
nacious and answering, and his
retirement from the Senate would
be loss to the country as well as to
the democratic party. In every
emergency he has the courage OF his
convictions, and there will be need
of both his sagaeity and his iirmness
in the senate this winter and next.

WE clip the following notice from
the Hopkinsville South Kentucki-
an, of an accomplished young lady
who spent several weeks with rela-
tives in our city, during last winter,
and made many friends while here.
During her stay she assisted at a
charitable entertainment for the
city, and won many encomiums
both from the press and public, as a
dramatic reader of great promise:
We are informed that Miss Min
ME Machen, daughter of Senator
w. B. Machen, of Eddyville, will
visit our city next Monday, and
will probably remain here till after
the Fair. She will be the guest of
Mrs. John Feland and the young
ladies and gentlemen are especially
invited by Mrs. Feland to call upon
her. While here, Miss Machen,
who comes highly recommended
as talented, artistic and beautiful
young lady, will give one OF more

the most gratifying success, and
the press wherever she has been,
Paducah, Owensboro, Clarksville,
Montgomery, Ala, and other places
speak of her in most glowing terms.
Heretofore, she has given her read
ings entirely for the benefit of pub
lie charities; but she is quite young
being only is years of age, and de-
sires to complete her education, and
is ambitious to be no longer a bur-
den to her parents, and therefore
she proposes to give these readings
at few appreciative places this fall
and winter to enable her to accom-
plish her purpose. 1t is a most
faudable ambition, and one worthy
the imitation of our young people,
especially those of the other sex,
and as we have no doubt about the
superior character of the entertain
ment, and we hope all our citizens
will patronize her.

Indignant Over a Parade.

In Patterson, N. j., great preparations,
were made on Tuesday last, for the parade
of the Police and Fire Department. Bands
had been engaged, several of the mills
were closed, there were visiting companies
from abroad and it was expected to be a
regular gala day. But there was a strong
public sentiment against the parade when
the news of the Presidents death became
known. Mayor Gilmor forbade the parade
of the police, but the Fire Department
committee declined to interfere. A special
meeting of the Alderman was called at
noon. A motion was made to postpone
the parade until after President Garfeld's
funeral. There were only twelve members
present. Eight voted in favor of postpon-
ment, and the other four, Alderman Mills,
Munsou, Murray, and Ryan, voted to have
the parade proceed. 1t takes nine votes to
carry motion, aud so the motion to post
pone the parade was lost. The people
were very indignant over this result, but
the fireman did all they could to allay the
feeling by draping their engines in black
and white and wearing the insignia of
mourning on their sleeves and hats.

Adventures Of a Girl.

AT about noon on Saturday Caroline
Weilder, years old, was missed from her
home at cO4t East Houston street. Inqui-
ry of the neighbors discovered that she
had last been seen in company with slo-
venly-looking girl of about IA, whose feet
were bare, and whose clothing was ragged.
The chid's parents went that evening to
the Police Central Office, where all chill
dren who are found wandering in the
streets by the police are ordinarily sent,
but she was not there. Yesterday morn
ing u general alarm, describing the lost
child, was telegraphed to the different po-
lice stations.
Not long after, Mr.. Schmidt of 8 Col
umbia street came to the Central Office
with the lost child. He said that she had
been found the evening before in Broome
street, near Willlet, by Caroline Butt of
105Broome street, who had reported the
fact at the Delaney street police station.
Instead of sending the child to the Gem
trail Office, Miss Butt was told to keep her
all night. This she did, and in addition

clothing, which had become soiled in her
wanderings. Miss Butt, in the morning
took Caroline to Mr.. Schmidt, who as she
apparently thought, wished, not having
children of his own, to adopt one, and
asked him whether he wanted the girl.
Mr. Schmidt accepted the gift and had
become quite infatuated with the uneX-
pected addition TO his family, when po-
liceman Appeared with the announcement
that Caroline was not waif, but had
parents who wanted her returned to them.
Reluctantly Mr.. Schmidt delivered her up
to Capt. Berghold, from whom her father
presently claimed her. 1t was then discov-
cred that the ragged girl who had led her
away from her home had committed the
abduction for the purpose of robbing Caro-
line of the rings which she wore in her ears
Caroline's evidence is not sufficient to
bring about the arrest of the thief The
Delaney street police are to be called to
account for not sending the child to the

A Lady Subscriber For Government Bonds

In the year 1870 a lady sent $4,000 to
the Treasury as a subscription to the 5 per
cent bonds. The envelop of the letter was
destroyed before it was discovered that the
sender of the money had not given her ad-
dress. Her address could not be ascertain
ed, and nothing more was heard from her.
The money was invested in the bonds as
requested and kept in the Treasury. Sew
en- years after a letter was received one day
from a lady stating that she had sent some
time before $4,000 to be invested in bonds,
but she had never received any interest.
She requested that if interest was not paid
on the bonds she would like to have her
money refunded. So many years elapsed
that the official to whom the letter came
was unacquanted with the circumstances,
and concluded that it was another crazy
letter. 1t however happened to come to
the notice of an official who remembered
the circumstances. A search was made,
and the bonds were found filed away with
quarterly interest checks, which amounted
to 1880. The bonds and checks wer9
forwarded to the lady, who had waited
seven years before evincing any interest in
the safety of her remittance.
