Tbis new tribe possesses even more dcviltry than the old, for tboy are of the regular sneakiug order, aud uever teil you when they ititend to strike. They will step up, steol a bite, aud quietly leave. It is no uso for you to lap at them. Il' you do, you will in all probability slap yourself, while the ringstreaked and striped littlc cuss will wink and poiut bis bind legs at you in such a seornful manner that you are almost aggravated beyond endurauce.

Summer mosquitoes nevor i crawl ; they jusfc light and go to business on the spot.

It is asserted thrtt tho nly rniil in the United States mnni g exclusively on railroad iron wh;ch dec'ai-ed a ligitimate dividend for 187Ö was tho one is Chattanooga.
