The Origin OF Mosquitoes.

Tho Indians have a very satisfactory
account Of the origin of the Montezuma
mosquitoes. The legend runs thus:
There were in times of old. many moons
ago, two huge feathered monsters per-
mitted by the Mauitou to descend from
the sky and alight O the banks of the
Seneca River. Their form wa exactly
that of the mosquito. They were SO
large that they darkened the sun like a
cloud as they flew toward the earth.
Standing one on either bank they
guarded the river, and stretching their
long necks into the canoes OF the In
dians, as they attempted to paddle along
the stream, gobbled them up, as the STORY
king in the fable gobbled up the frogs.
The destruction of life was so great that
not an Indian could pass without being
devoured in the attempt. 1t was long
before the monsters could be extermi-
mated, and then only by the combined
efforts of all the warriors of the Cayuga
and Onondaga nations. The battle was
terrible, but the warriors finally tri-
umphed, and the mammoth mosquitoes
were slain and left unburied. For this
neglect the Indians had to pay dearly.
The carcasses decomposed, and the
particles, vivified by the sun. flew off in
clouds of mosquitoes, which have filled
the country ever since.

Quite select party of P. R. McDonnell's
friends assembled at his residence corner OF
George and Ohio streets to celebrate his tenth
birthday, on Friday evening last the 29th of
February, which they did in a most enjoyable
manner. On being seated at the supper
table Mr.. Thomas d. O'Brien, on behalf of
the party, presented the host with beautiful
gold headed cane, the gift of Wilson and
Monkhouse and beautiful lap robe, the
Gift of Houlton, Cullin and Owens, of Sibe-
rian lamb skin. The other gifts were nu-
merous and costly as follows: The Honora-
bic John Dowlan and daughter, a beautifully
engraved silver tureen Jas. Cnllin, splen
did bronzed cigar stand; Mr.. Many and wife,
a napkin ring; the Miss Many, china cup
and saucer and gold stand,
besides other gifts from different
parties, and last but not not least a fruit
cake from NJ. Ncihoff, with an inscription
suitable to the occasion. In making the
presentation, Mr. O'Brien pointed out the
many good qualities of the host, and hoped
that he would never require the robe to hide
or cover up any of his acts from public view,
and expected to see him represent the ward
in some public capacity in the near future.
Mr.. Mcdonnell was so completely surprised
by the kindness of his many friends that he
could not find words to express his gratitude,
but hoped that he would always retain the
esteem of his many friends. After spending
a very delightful evening the company took
their leave at 3 a. IN. Saturday morning.

Messrs. j. w. Vars, Judge Vim. Wilson
and Louis De Mculcs, appointed to ill the
vacancies in Collector Bickels office, caused
by the designations of Mr.. Victor Berggren
and Mr.. A. F. Nordin, took possession of
their positions yesterday. The retirement of
Messrs. Berggren and Nordin from
the office has occasioncd great re-
gret on the part of Mr.. Bickel
who has held these gentlemen in the highes,
esteem. They were justly regarded as valu-
able aids to the department and their re-
spective duties were always discharged with
the utmost fidelity.
AS pleasant leave-taking, Mr.. Nordin on
yesterday gave a dinner paTty to Collector
Bickel and the employees of the
revenue office, at the Clarendon hotel.
The occasion was marked by sociability and
the greatest good feeling.
As token of friendly esteem at parting,
Messrs. Berggren and Nordin on last even
ing presented Mr.. Bickel with beautiful and
costly silver napkin ring and pepper and
salt combination set
Of the new incumbents, Mr.. Vars, now
chief deputy, was for some years with
Collectors Smith and Wedge in the First
district and he is therefore admirably quail
fled to discharge the duties of the office
Judge Wilson, of Shakopee, who fills the
other position, was an attache of the office
two years ago and he resigned to accept the
treasurer's office of Scott county.

Pirates of Penznnce.

Sullivan's opera, 'sThe Pirates of Pen
zance," will be given by the Saltwater
Choral society this coming Wednesday,
March 5th, at the Opera house. We are in
formed by musical critics who attended
the performance of the opera at Saltwater
week ago, that while the society can not
claim perfection in all its detail in their pro-
duction of the opera, they can lay claim to
considerable amount of musical merit and
dramatic completeness seldom acquired by
amateures. The chorus is well trained in its
respective parts, and plays very important
factor in the results of the opera and the
plot of the same, the soloists are well up
in their parts and the entire performance
runs very smooth and leaves very little mar
gin for drawbacks and bitches so customary
with amateures- The Society has devoted
considerable time to the bringing out of this
opera and is deserving of much praise and
encouragement for doing SO, and doing so
well. The society is, as on two former occa-
sions, at Saltwater, seconded by Seibert's
orchestra of fifteen. When under the direc
torship of Prof. Aug. Seheufler, of this city,
and with the rehearsals and two public per-
formances already had, it will be safe to an
ticipate good and satisfactory result for
next Wednesday evening. ST. Paul should
particularly take pride and feel sufficiently
interested to turn out large
and appreciative audience to return
the many compliments by the
citizens of Stillwate, rendered to st Pau
talent on many occasions in the past. Follow

ROSTER OF NO. 6.
A NEW MOTOR.
A Power that is Safer and More Easily
Controlled than Steam.

CHICAGO, Mar. 1.-The announcement is
made of the discovery of new and remark
able motor as the Cripple Thermic Motor"
The new motor power is the vapor of bisul-
phide of carbon. 1t has been in practical
use, driving a sixty-horse power engine, for
six months past, in the cement paving man
ufactory on west Forty-siXth street, New
York. The discoverer of the means of apply
ing the new power and the inventor of the
machinery required for its use is w. T. Col
well, formerly of Pittsburg, who it is
claimed, has been at work many
years on the application of the same
material from WEIGH the vapor is generated.
Bisulphide carbon is discovery of the last
centuery. The force and power of the vapor
in its application far surpasses that of steam,
and the application and regulation is al
ready under more perfect and safe control
than steam. The invention, or discovery,
consists in evolving bisulphide of carbon
into vapor for operating machinery, by gen
Grating heat in the generator and transfer
ring it into vessel, containing bisulphide
of carbon. The latent heat of steam is
utilized to convert the Cbisulphide of
carbon into vapor only us
degrees being necessary to produce
this vapor. A prominent engineer in Chica-
go, giving the result of his examination of
the new motor, says: 81 saw fifteen horse
power boiler, with very little fire nnder it,
generating steam which generated the new
motor, which in return ran an engine of
sixty horse power" A syndicate has been
formed which controls the invention and all
patents. The capital stock is S25, 900, 900, of
which ss,0O0,OOO has already been realized
on the stock. Ex-General Hubbard, of
Texas, and ex-Collector Baird, of Boston, are
mentioned as being largely interested in the
new motor syndicate.

On Thursday eveningnex Chanfrau opens
an engagement at the Grand, in the celebra-
ted play of exit, the Arkansaw Traveller"
In referring to the play recently,an exchange
says: Tayleure's company, with F. s. Chan
frau as exit" deserved the immense aud
fence of last night. To speak of Kit criti-
cally, to measure the incidents that make and
unmake him, to discuss the relative position
of the play in the American drama would be
a waste of time. 1t has long since passed
through the furnace, and the public has set
its seal. Kit is fixture. When the noble
hearted, chivalric, honest man, who
is occasionally an interpreter of that higher
life in the everyday world, is banished from
the stage hearth, the theatre going public will
cease to be delighted with Kit, the back
woodsman, the gentleman, the man. He is
proud to look the world square in the face
In a sentence Mr.. Chanfrau is
Kit, and Kit well, he wouldn't be without
Chanfrau.
During the engagement Mrs. Chanfrau
will appear in her powerful impersonation of
Isabel Vane, character in which she has
achieved great distinction.
