A Tu ins or Two for Nrleutiflc Fel-low--A 31nqutto Battle and a Waltz. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) "I have devotod twenty years to a study of the habits of iiiusquitoes, and a curious lot of creature they are." . Ho wjs a withered-up, yellow-faced, parchment-tddnned little man ith bright littlo eyes peering out of biugly glasses that had been worn t long as to niakt deep furrows in Lia nose. Kut a bright, chirrupy littlo fellow, withal. Ho had on a musty black suit and a big collar. He was iu the rear room of the seroud floor of No. 110 Kast Market street. A strange little den of n room it was. The walls were bunz with all hinds of insects; the tallies, aud chairs, and bureau were all covered with theuL Glassy eyed beetles glared from between, golden winged butteiilies, nnd odd-looking little round bugs were wedged into all fcorta of out of tlie way places. "These other insects I harepiekfHJ up every where," said the little man with a quick, carelo-M motion toward tho strangely taijs tril walls. "TLw tarantula," pic-king up a big, hairy, spider-like crewture, "I found in Texa.i, and had a l.ard tiiae caU-hing him. Ain't he a fine sj)Ccin.on, though?" said the little fellow, lovingly putting tho frightful creature back in its placo. "I have all kinla of iiisocts, and have made them a life study. I have a littlo money, enough to live 011, and am able to devote all my time to them. But of all the insects, the musquita is my fa vorite. I have so identified nij self with their habits that I feel sometimes is though I would like to fly away and bum-z-z-z cfT into the air and out into the gulden sunlight aud never Ihj bothered with mortal troubles again." There was a look of such intensity in the w ithered, parchment face, in the bright littlo eyes, in the outstretched hand., so much earnestness and longing, that tho reporter half expected to seo tho transformation go into eltect at once. "I am writing a liook on lnusquitoca," con tinued he, after the excitement li.nl died out of his face. "I am goin? to call it 'Twenty Wars Amonjr Musquitoes, by William P. Di ieffeld,' and I will tell theso scientific fel lows a thing or two. I havo what I call a hatchery over there in the corner, and I make all sorts of experiments with them. You see it looks like a tub, and has a little water in the bottom. Now, if you look closely you will see that largo musquito in the corner there, separated a little from that covey of sabethes there; no, not that ono with the red belt, the one next to him. That is ' a female, and a finer specimen never lived. She is three years old, and at tho least calculation has had ten thousand chil dren. "Larger than the ordinary musquito? you say. "Why, of course; Aspasia thnt's her name is three and three-quarters times tvs large as tho ordinary culex. I cross races, and Aspasia is a cross between tho Florida anopheles and the Mexican ades. I never let the air of this room fall below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and I find that with this tem perature the average Ufa of a healthy mus quito is 5 years 9 months and 15 days. I have one old mala who is 10 years old. His probosc;s is useless paralyzed, I think and bis eyes have lonr since become useless to him. His antenrue have dropped off, and of the six sharp bristles within his sucking pro boscis, which he had when I caught him, not one remains. He couldn't even bite a child," continued tho old man, mournfully, looking over toward where the gray veteran sat on the edge of the tub. The old man's tone had dropped into a mus ing, subdued monotone. Arousing himself, he said: "I have had some queer experiences with them. I do this to amuse myself. I don't pay much attention to it. however," added the little man apologetically, as he moved toward a long glass case toward one end of the room, which was almost entirely hidden by a black cloth. " I keep this over, because the light is painful to them," con tinued the old man as he drew the curtain off and revealed a shallow box covered on three sides with glass. The bottom was covered with musquitoes of all sizes. Sliding the top aside the old man mode a peculiar bumming sound with his mouth. So natural was it his companion involuntarily brushed his hand through the air, as if to ward off a wily and enterprising musquito. Presently out of tho b- come a swarm of insects. The old man hcla his brown, skinny, open palm out, and taey alighted on it with tuat delicate, hesi tating manner peculiar to them. He counted them over. There were sixteen. He con tinued his strange humming, and the insects formed into a column two deep and circled about his band, keeping time to the old fel low's peculiar humming. Suddenly he stopped, and the insects stopped their march ing. The two that were at tho head of tho column, and who were apparently the leaders, drew off at some little distance and kept up a long-continued and monotonous singing. In a moment the old man began to hum in a higher key, and another swarm came out of the box. He extended his other brown, skinny hand, and after circling about they alighted on it They also formed a column and marched about. Then the old man drew bis two witbored palms together slowly. The two columns were opposite now, and he be gan to sing, or rather hiss, in a harsh, irritgt inj: whisper. In a moment the two columni rushed at each other, and wero circling round and lost in the mazes of an ever-shifting cloud of wings and long, hair-like legs. Tho hissing suddenly cease t, and a full, emphatic, guttural sound took its place. The effect was instantaneous. The clouds slowly fell apart, the mass of legs and whirring wings aud long bodies separated, and in a few mo ments they were each ou the hand from which they started. "The musquitoes are governed altogether by sound," said the queer little man as he put theui back into their box. "1 believe that all things that have consciousness, that can feel pain and pleasure, are able to communicate their feelings one to the other. By a careful otwervariou I have found what affects mus quitoes. In a dim, vaue way they under stand each other. When you learn what sounds produce certaiu impressions, the secitrt of governing them or 'training them is out. Tliat was a battle you saw a moment agoi. None of them were hurt. It took me neat ly two years to learn tbem to do this.. Thex. nre all females.

Wbat a Judge Bays Tho Shystn Who Manage Things A 'Round tho.Corner Business. "Caspar" in Detroit Free Press. Husband or w ife takes a fancy to snm Other person for a partner, but present obli gations stand in the way. They can bo got out of tLe way only by divorce, so a lawyer in bunted up, a petition filed, testimony pro duced, and, presto! the whole business if done. Hut not always honestly doue oh, no, not by a very long shot. In a great inuny eases the business is a fraud from bAgiuning to end. We had a word on that ix.int from the liench itself tho other day. Ths man who said tho word, Judge DonJiue, of tho su preme court, has signed quite a lot of divorce dcrei iu his time. This is what he said: "Thcie is undoubtedly fraud in many divorce cas, and w hat I mean by that is that the business of obtaining divorces by question able means has not lieen suppressed, not withstanding the extra vigilance to detect it now exercised by the courte. I myself have either suspected or lieen convinced in a num ber of cases that fraud had been practiced, yet was unable to obtain conclusive evidence to tliat effect, and the conspirators thus escajxii the punishment tho law prescribes and w hich they merited." "Who are the perpetrators of the fraud?'1 Scallawag lawyers, of course. There's a gang of rascally lawyers in New York who make a business of getting divorces by crooked means, and are always ready to take up any eae tliat comes along. They have no professional standing, and respectable lawyers do not rec ignizethem at all, but they enre nothing fr that. Bread and butter ia what they aro after, and they'll do any thing to get it. The Tombs shyster of the old tim was regarded on all sides as the low est tyjic of tho profession. We have Tombs shysters still, but they are no longer the low est The lawyers who make a Sjxcialty of di vorce are rightfully entitled to that rank, and got it. 1 heir plan of operations is pretty well known. All that the client has to do is to put tho case in their hands and pay a fee in advance. Most of tho divorce suits go to referees instead of being tried in court. If the healing is not actually secret it is, in most cases, the next thing to it There are no reporters and there is no audience. The di vorce lawyer presents his case and brings ou his witnesses. Who are the witnesses! Why, in many in stances, neither party to the suit ever heard of them before. They are scamps whom the divorce lawyer keeps in tow for just such occasions. Their testimony is a lie from first to last. The lawyer tells them beforehand what they must swear to, and often coaches thorn to see that they have the story strs'ght. They swear to puisc-nl knowledge of things which never occurred, and to acquaintance with persons they never saw. If the other sida does not appear, as often happens, because proper notice lias not been given, the sworn lies of the scamps go unquestioned. The referee may possibly have suspicions, but he must go by the " evidence," and there it is. No 0110 has appeared to refute it. He reports to tho court that the charges are proven- the court assumes .that it is all right, and a do creo of divorce is issued. So the way is clear, and the person getting the decree may go right off and marry again. Perhaps the other party to the new marriage is waiting around the corner. It is all a round-the-corner business and an exceedingly bad business every way. And much more ot it is carried on iu No w York than the public supposes. As the trials are not reported, unless they contain something sensational, the public known nothing about them. It would be a good thing for morals if the divorce lawyers could be suppressed. But they probably can't, any more than the quack doctors, but the quacks defy it aud go right ou in the old way. So would tho di vorce lawyers, no doubt, even with a law for their suppression on the statute book. The MItu4ian Leather " KcercC. Chicago Times. "I think that is a mistake," said Sir. Fliny Jewell, of Jewell & Sons, when shown a published statement to the effect that Ameri can tanners had never been able to closi-ly imitate the beauty and odor of the celebrated Russia leather. "I believe Russia leather is now made at or near Newark. I know my brother, when minister at St Petersburg, discovered the secret You have beard the manner of the discovery, have you not?" "I have beard several versions of it." "Well, 1 will tell you the true version. Over in Russia they didn't think be had any practical knowledge of mechanics they thought he must be just as helpless as they. One day ho was going through a tannery with some of the officials. Reaching a pas sageway he noticed some mixture in barrels. He didn't recognize its character, and thrust his fingers in several times as a sort of investigation. There was no bandy washing room, so he completed the tour with his soiled hands, but as soon as he reached his room he washed up. In passing the right hand over his face as all men will you know he caught his nose between bis thumb and finger. There, most certainly, was the odor of Russia leather. 'Russian leather to be sure,' he exclaimed in ecstacy. He repeated the operation aud found the same odor. The secret was out. He didn't know the agents used, but it proved they were employed, not to produce the fragrance, but because they , were cheap. The general immediately wrote to Mr Scbultz, of The Shoe and Leather Re porter, aud the process was tried in this country The base of it was asafoeti ia, which is also, as you may know, the base of Wor cestershire sauce. Do I think the beauty of Russia leather has ever been reproduced here? Oh, yes, I believe it has; but the odor is all there is to it. You find Russia leather pocket-books for 50 cents, do you i.ot? The odor Is genuine, isn't it? Well, that's not the imported material, but the leather --.ic-cessfully tanued here by the Russian method." Editors Rural Hours, New York Cor. Troy Times. The difference between Bennett and Greeley was evident in their selection of rural homes. ' Greeley located ou the east side, which wac plebeian first at Turtle Bay, and then at Chappaqua, which at that time was an in ferior place. Bennett, on the other band, bought a large establishment on the Hudson river in the centre of a highly aristocratic oommuuity. He fitted it up in elegant style, but it did not realize his expectations, and uuice lie passed his last days in bis Fifth ave nue residence. The out-of town house stand at Fort Washington, eight miles from the city ball, and being in the hands of a tenant is subject to neglect and decay. The present Dwner, eveu wheu tu America, rarely visit the place, uud he will probably put it into the market as soon as prices reach a satisfao torv ouotation.

Here al: aro tiken all tho dead carrion which can bo Wgged or purchased in tho city. In tho darkest hours of uight great covered wagons make their mysterious way t.trigb tho byways of Philadelphia.

The other stuff is put ia tho sun and dried, and we raato phosphate out of it ourselves." The skins, the meu said, were sold to the tanners. In the winter and early summer tho cats aro skinned, and tho hido is used in the lining of winter circulars for ladies. Two curious uses are, however, frequently made of the dogs. Their fat is carefully taken off and manufactured into "dog oil," which among superstitious persons, especially the colored people, possesses almost miraculous virtue iu tho cure of various diseascs.but chief ly of rheumatism. In all localities where tho colored population is large this oil is for sale, and always sells for a good price. It is also in demand for consumptives. Very fre quently people who have been pronounced in curables go to the establishment and beg the people there to sell them some of the oil ob tained from the dog fat Occasionally per sons will bring dogs which they have killed themselves and havo the oil manufactured from tbem. Some of the rendering establishments along tho river do an enormous business, receiving their supplies not only from tbe city but from abroad by the car load. Some of them use tho intestines aud refuse matter from the slaughter house and abattoirs. niRIKQ OUT DIAMONDS. How Cohtl5' Jewels are Obtained for Reception and Weddings. Boston Globe "Tliat was an expens' ve set of jewelry,' remarked a reporter to the proprietor o a large Washington street, -store, alluding i a set of diamonds u young lady had just taken away with her, "It is the most expensive sot we have in tho store," was the reply," but she has only hired them." "Is that a common thing in Boston?" asked iho newspaper man. "Most certainly. Many of our best custo mers hire a set of jewelry for an eveu ug, and for a comparatively small prico excite the envy and jealousy of their friends. I wonder you have never heard of it before. We take our costliest gems and reset them to please our customers, and then rent them. Of people whom we know we never require any security, but x strauger would, of course, have to deposit the full value of the gems. There are two of our finest sots at Swampscott now, where I understand th.ey havo beeu much praLsedaand their temporary possessors congratulated. "A funny thing happened in connection with this branch of cur business. There was to be a large German, and a young lady, well known in this city, caaie to make arrange ments about a set of diamonds. I was not in the store at the time and knew nothing of the matter, so when I caaio in I let out the same set to another young belle. Iu the af ternoon No. 1 came in and asked significantly if her diamonds had been cleaned. While she was talking No. 2 put tho same question to me. Tho situation was very awkward, but I explained the matter and all was finally settled in favor of No. 1, tho young ladies pledging each other and me to eteina.1 se crecy. " 'I wouldn't have it get out for tao world, you know, explained No. 1. "Another branch of our business is to rent silver services. Theso were very well paid for. Most of tho designs aro antique, and some of them have figured in many Boston homes as highly treasured heir-loouis. At weddings we frequently furnish large collec tions of bric-a-brac and other articles to swell the number of 'gifts' and make a fine display. Wo rarely get much for this, as the jeweler's name is frequently published whou there is anything particularly beautiful given as a present, and the ad vertking compensates u. When the End ot I'olygamy Conies. ID. Conway in San Francisco Chronicle. In the "Revelation on Celestial Marriage, given to Joseph Smith, Nauvoo, .July 12. 184:3," it is written: "And again, verily, verily, 1 say ucto you. if any man have u wife who holds tb9 key of this power, and be reaches unto her tho law of my priesthood, then shall she believe and administer unto mm, or she shall be destroyod, saitb the Lord your God, for 1 will destroy her.' This con stantly repeated sentence is the iron out of which many marriage rings are made in Utah; they bind the Mormon woman, but she does uot pretend to love her fetter. Iu the breast of every woman in that territory there is an enemy or a otential traitor to the system of polygamy, and when, as must sometime be the case, the struggle with polygamy becomes a recognized war for the deliverance of woman, the end of the Deseret dispensation will be swiftly it is to be feared violently reached. As Goethe wrote: "Evei the womanly ltadetb us ob ward." Tho gastrometor of The Rochester PosV Express is responsible for this advice: "You should never chew a raw. oyster. Just plat turn lengthwise across the end of y out tongue, elevate your chin u trifle, and after that you will have nothing to do but .pay for ium."
