Origin of Mosquitoes.

The Indians have a very satisfactory
account of the origin of the mosquitoes.
The legend runs thus: There were in
times of old, many moons ago, two
huge feathered monsters permitted by
the manitou to descend from the sky and
alight on the banks of the Seneca river.
Their form was that of the mosquito.
They were so large that they flew toward
the earth Standing 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
stork 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
exterminated, and then only by the COM
bined efforts Of all the Cayuga and On
ondaga nations. The battle was terrible,
but the warriors finally triumphed, and
the mammoth mosquitoes were slain and
left unburied. For this neglect the In
dians had to pay dearly. The carcasses
decomposed, and the particles, vivifed
by the sun, flew off in clouds of mosqui-
toes, which have filled the country ever
since

Victor Hugo's Love for Children.

The London ST. James' Gazette tells
hitherto unpublished anecdote of Victor
Hugo. During the poets exile days in
Guernsey an English lady who had been
for some time living with her family ut
st. Savior, near the center of the island.
missed her youngest son, an intelligent
child of about five years old. The boy,
it afterward appeared, had strayed from
his nurse, and, wandering aimlessly
about, had grown weary, and contented-
ly fallen asleep in the open air. Victor
Hugo, in one of his solitary rambles,
found the child just awakening, and
recognizing him as the son of
a lady whom he knew by sight,
he hosted him on TO his
back, and greatly delighted, cantered
with him across country to his own
house. A storm came on, and it was
decided that the youngter should not be
sent back that night. A messenger,
however, allayed the mothers anxiety,
and next morning the boy was returned,
together with profuse apologies, many
thanks, and a huge basket of flowers
and fruit. On being asked how he had
enjoyed his unprecedented visit, the
boy said: Every much indeed NJ. HUI
go played at lions with me all the even
ing. He was the lion under the table.
And do you know once when he came
out of his den and growled he pulled off
the table cloth and broke ever so many
glasses 1t was funl"
Another anecdote, also unpublished, is
equally eloquent of Hugo's love
of children. Some months later
the little daughter of the
same English lady fell sick of scarlet
fever. The poet heard of it, and, after
bringing several offerings of grapes, he,
one day, although still comparative
stranger, begged as a great favor to be
allowed to see the patient, who was by
this time beginning to mend. lie laughed
at the idea of infection, and upon being
led to the sick room, sat down by the
! bedside, and, gently taking one of the
| child's hands in his, was soon inventing
/ FOR her benefit most enchanting fairy
tale. He came again on the next day
and on several subsequent days, always
with new story and always in the best
of spirits. When the child was we'll he
came no more; but every year afterward
until his death although she has now chill
dren of her own, he sent to her on his
! birthday some little token of his kindly
recollection of her

A Fable.

A Pair of Lions, who were travelling
across the country in search of Food,

Nine. dc Pompadour onco had an ugly
pimple on her chin. She was vexed,
and, at last, in despair, pasted piece of
black plaster over the offending spot.
Result ali the ladies in the court ap-
peared the following week with pieces Of
plaster on their faces. A fashion was
established, and it was kept up for
long time. The same lady, as l suppose
you know, was exceedingly diminutive
in stature. To remedy this defect she
invented the high-heeled boots. They
were unknown before her time. Result
the ladies of the court took to high
heeled boots, and another fashion had
birth.
Marie Antoinette had enormous quan.
titles OF hair. She didn't know what
to do with it. She was waiting for q

being shorn, and had piled up her
hair in careless manner, when she sud
denly found that this style Of head. dress
set off her small features to advantage.
Result monstrously high colffure came
into fashion, and were worn for very
long time. Anne of Austria had exqui-
sitely formed arms Result: short sleeves

sing limp. Would you believe It'll Some
time ago large number of ladies had
one heel of their shoes made lower than
the other. Result the alexandria
limp became the height Of fashion. The
''Grecian bend" was another result of
this unfortunate defect. Well, this same
noble lady has some slight deformity in
the neck which prevents her wearing
dresses cut low. Result: the fashion,
which still RACES among English ladies,
for bodices reaching almost to the ears,
which fashion is much ridiculed among
the Parisians.

Sermons on Sunday-The Electric Light, &C.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.l
NOVEMBER 80, 1885.
Sunday was very gloomy day in
Danville, but large congregation turn
ed out to hear the Introductory sermon
of DR.. Starr at the Main-Street Metho-
dist Episcopal church. The text was
taken from Ephesians, ill.,, 2O-2l, and
the subject was 1.-The Relationship oil
the Pastor to the Church." The Doc
tor makes a good start, and he and his
congregation are already on good terms.
At night Rev. A. G. Brown preached
his farewell sermon from the l26th
Psalm, 9th verse. He spoke with much
feeling, and many members of his con-
gregation were moved to tears.
DR.. John Z. Edwards, at Mount Yer
non church, preached his first sermon
Of the new Conference year. The Doc
tor told his people about the lion in the
street, and remarked that very for
midable lion to some people is a rainy
Sunday. DR.. Edwards comes back to
his people knowing that they prefer
him above all others, and under these
circumstances will accomplish the best
possible results.
Our people have heard with much sOr-
row of the death of Rev. A. b. Brown,
Of Richmond, and beautiful tribute to
his memory was paid by Rev. a. &.
Brown in his sermon on Sunday night.

soon after their appointment and de-
cided that the grounds should embrace
not less than five acres, and the build
ings cost not less than 10000. The
proceedings Of the committee were pub
hshed, and offers Of sites and contribu-
tons solicited from communities wish
ing to have the school in their midst.

The Lost Receipt or, Frustrated De-
signs. BY MARY j. SALTER. Bos-
ton. 1881.
This book is sold by the author her.
self, who had the misfortune to become
blind some years ago from a sunstroke.
She is now in Richmond, and will, in
company with the young lady who is
her constant companion, call upon our
citizens to purchase the books.
The Norfolk Virginian says:
There are so many people blessed
with the priceless boon Of sight who
never employ it valuably that it would
seem both a privilege and q duty to
second the endeavors ola blind person
and that person q woman-in her en-
deavor to contribute to the pleasure OF
others while carving out her own indie
pendence."

says:
