Perhaps when the moonbeams lay

And night was fairer than day.

3. The remarkable cheapness of liv.
ing in Kosciusko, and its healthfulness
Perhaps in no town in Mississippi has
private board been so uniformly cheap
as in Kosciusko. Everything that goes
10 supply a table is raised in profusion
and brought to market. Attala is the
great poultry raising county of the
State. Adjoining counties send to Kos
ciusko often to buy their fat Christmas
turkeys because they can be gotten at
rates so remarkably low. 1t is not
situated on the banks of a low sluggish
river whose waters breed malaria, but it
is high and hilly, one of the most eleva-
ted sites in the State, and never without
a breeze. There are towns now compet-
ing for the College, some of whose in
habitants resort to kosciusko in the
summer for It's health and coolness, to
escape the oppression of their own towns.
KoSciusko is as healthy as any town in |
the South. The census taker of 1880 |
who enumerated about three-fourths of |
the town, reported that there was in his
district but one death among its white
population the former year, that was the
case of an old man over so years of age.
6. Kosciusko is in the centre of the I
white population of the State. Attala
county ranks second in the State in the
number of its white farmers, and third
in number of its educable white girls.
The two having barely more, are Copiah
and Lee. COpiah is under the shadow
Of Whitworth, and Lee doesn't ask for
the College. BY all means let the Col
ege go to white county. Attala has
double and treble the white population
that some counties asking the College
have. 1t is a county that has never had
4 school warrant discounted since the
war, that has the best attended churches,
lay and Sunday schools in the State,
and is, as shown by State reports, the
banner county for the number Of its
Sunday schools. Its people are noted
or their hospitality and their liberality.

which have interested me very much in
this lower stratum of animal life had
always known the dragon fly-or devil S
darning needle as he is more generally
known-to be the hawk of the in
sect tribe, and had rather encouraged
him as a destroyer of mosquitoes One
day / was sitting in the woods and a
strange, nondeseript creature passed
rapidly by me, and alighted on the
side of tree. 1t had a big, yellow
head and long black tail, and was
altogether a puzzler. So went over
to look at it, and found it to consist of
a large yellow butterfly and huge
dragon fly. The latter had caught the
butterfly somewhere and flown away
with it, and stood there and watched
him eat it, which he altogether did,
biting off and discarding the wings,
indeed, but leaving no Yestige of the
body. took up stick and smashed
the dragon fy after his meal, thinking
it an outrage and degree OF two
worse than cannibalism that so hideous
and diabelical looking creature should
destroy and eat the beautiful butterfly.
Perhaps this dragon fly had perverted
taste, and | hope this was the case, for
/ never saw another one flying at any
higher game than mosquitoes and
midges. / approve of their warning
upon these, but that they should eat
butterflies appears to me . species OF
