The exasperating little insect commonly
known as the 'jigger was as great nuisance,
considering his size, or rather lack Of size, as
any of the pests that disturbed the peace Of
mind and body of the American soldier. The
only redeenaing feature about the jigger was
that he was confined to certain localities, and
didn't insist on sticking by and travelling right
along with US. Whenever we eampsd where
he was he would do all in his power to make it
lively for us, but when we rolled up our blan-
kets and moved awayhe stayed behind, and
did not pursue us from place to place like the
vengeful pedieatas. The jigger dweit chiefly
among the leaves ON the ground and in the
bark of old logs. If the camp was kept thor
oughly policed there was comparatively little
trouble from thislsourcc. We found the jiggers
most numerous while lying in the woods dur
ing the two months before Corinth, although
they appeared in spots all over the South.
The correct photography of the name accord
ing to the books, is "chigoe." The big diction-
aries, however, allow "jigser," and this sounds
more natural than the other. The cut given is
greatly magnifed The jigger is very small
insect, often not more than half as large as the
head Of pin. When we remember how much
he could do, small as he was, towards making
life burden, our hearts are filled with graft
tude that the jigger wasn't any bigger. Had
he been as large as our eat, with capabilities in
proportion, he would have been terrible as an
army with banners" The fact is there were
two or three wholly different insects, about
equally pestiferouS, which we were accustomed
to group under the convenient name of jiggers.
We knew little and cared less about scien-
tifc distinctions. One of them was of
bright red color. and SO small that you had to
look twice before you could see him. But you
had no troubie in feeling him after he had made
his way under the skin, causing keen smart
ing sensation that, when q man had half q
dozen OF them at once, would almost drive him
frantic. The toys often used to get up in the
night, fgh. camille or torch, and hunt jiggers.
Most of them would swear with great fervency
while they were doing this. The book says that
in Cuba and other tropical countries the chigoe
is very venomous and troublesome getting in
his work under the nails of the toes and fin
gers, and causing great suffering. The female
lays her eggs there-50 or so at a time-and in
few days has q large family ready for business.

Halps Hair Remover restores gray hair
to its original color; makes the scalp
white and clean; cures dandruf and
humors; prevents the hair from falling
out, and renders it soft and brilliant. The

THE WoopTICK.

Our cut of the woodtick represents we'll
developed specimen. enlarged to the extent of
eight or ten dianeters This industrious bug
will be remembered with more or less vivid
ness by all old soldiers. The woodtick carried
out in an extremely quiet manner the pur-
poses for which, in the economy of nature, he
seems to have been made. He didn't make
any fuss about it like the mosketo to give
warning of his designs and enable his victim
to take preventive measures. He had most

All the readers of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
will readily recognize the mosketo-more IA
miliarly known as the skeeter" The scientific
men call him "caler pipiens," but we prefer to
speak of him in the old familiar way. We only
used the grayback's other name for politeness'
sake. No one will seriously dispute the claim
of the mosketo to second place in this list. He
was often quite as numerous as the pediculus,
and almost as universal. It was rarely indeed
that his song was not heard on the march and
around the campfire. In low damp regions
during the warm weather, swarms of these
bloOdthirsty insects drove the soldiers to the
borders of distraction. They came in literal
clouds, filling the air, the hum of million
wings swelling in maddening chorus. The
book says mosketo's wings vibrate 5000 times
a minute. The soldier who has heard them
buzzipg around his ears will certify that this
Is not an overestimate. How many times he
has found sleep possible only by curling up
under his blanket and covering every inch of
feet hands and head, at the imminent risk of
being smothered to death! Sometimes the
mosketos would nos be bafied even in this way,
and they would prod their bills through the
blanket and pierce their victim. Then he
would rush wildly out and heap on the fire
something that would make great smudge.
Sitting down in the thickest of the smoke he
would weep and cough and sneeze and strangle
and swear-even this deplorable condition be-
ing preferable to the torments of the "skeeters."
This picture is not overdrawn. Such scenes
were common in many localities, from the
Chickahominy to the Rio Grande
So far as the Fourth Corps is concerned, we
are prepared to say that the mosketo reached
his highest state Of physical and carniverous
development on the arid plains of Texas.
Those who spent the Sammer and Fall of '65
in that God-forsalen region are fully prepared
to defend tho affirmative of this proposition.

Deserving,Your Attention.

1t is 4 true saying that one half the
world does not know how the other half
live. Poor old man Middleton Spence
who has served his day and time, but
who now can work no more, is pitiable
object Of charity. Ina small cabin near
the O'Neall trestle on the C::& G. r. r.
he lies in i helpless condition, not able
to move in his bed. He has no care but
what is afforded him by 4 colored boy,
nor has he any means. He certainly
needs help and attention, and 4 very
little of either will do him. We make
this appeal in his behalf and earnestly
hope that he may not be overlooked
An easy way to settle this matter is for
the charitably disposed to leave their
contributions either in money or pro-
visions with Mr.. Il. F. Harmon at his
Stole.

The Fleecy Staple.

Friend Gi. Nc, who is always Oh
the lookout for the first fruits Of the sea-
SOD, came putting into our sanctum OH
Monday with 4 Tony Denier smile on
his face and two open cotton bolls in
his hand, freshly plucked from the patch
OF that progressive and large farmer,
Mr.. Benson NJ. Suber. They are the
first we have seen, or heard OF. We can
almost see the new bale rolling in, with
Frank Lane and Tom Lake and them
other fellows'' running alongside the
wagon. We long to catch the Jingle of
the clilk. just after the above was
written Mr.. J. D. Hornsby showed up,
then Mr.. Otto Klettner sent John
Donahoe into the Office with an open
boil from the field of Uncle Fed Paysin-
ger, and Mr.. J. Y. Culbreath handed
us 4 fair sample OF the snowy product.

Sound Sense.

We clip the following from the Ander-
son Intelliyencer of last week:
Our City Council has taken step in
the right direction in looking closely af-
ter the sanitary condition OF the city.
Nothing conduces more to health than
cleanliness, and nothing is more produc-
tive Of sickness than filth; so it is neces-
sary for the protection of those who do
observe sanitary measures, that the care
less and Indifferent shall be made to as
we'll. If man sees fit by neglecting to
keep his premises clean to invite fever
or some other disease, and endanger his
own life and the lives of his family, he
can blame no one but himself; but he
has no right by such negligence to en-
danger the lives OF his neighbors. We
hope that the Council will not falter in
its work OF having the city cleansed.
Strict sanitary ordinances strictly en-
forced, will do a great deal OF good
