Boss Kelly, and all fllll of enthusiasm and
uh’skcy for “anybody to beat Tilden and

Stewart, the king of merchants, went a in!
months ago, and now Vanderbilt, the rail-
road king, isin his last moments. The old
nlanghas‘ been very sick foi- some time, and it
is impossible’that he should live much longer.
But'his death will make no difference with
his vast interests. He has a son, \Villium
Vanlerbilt, who is just as grasping, anda
deal more able than his father, whom the old
man has been training for years to take his
place when he should vacate it. William
Vanderbilt knows all about the old man’s
business ; in fact, he has done the most of ‘it
for ten years. He is the Vice- President of
all the companies of which his father is
President, and is really executive head of all
his enterprises. He is a very strong business
man. and has had the best of opportunities.

It would seem that there is a lack of

people that ,hassufi'ered from him for gener-
ations. Bntithe‘letter of a correspondent of
the Times,;wlti_ch-wair9published Friday, re-
veals an unncqnnintance with or a misappre-
hension of the facts of the case which, con:
sidering the nature of the subject, is truly
deplorable.- Our correspondent attributed
the freedom of a certain house from these
pests to the fact that the windows were open
and the gas lit on three ‘ floors, because the
mosquito avoids drafts and light. It is to be
hoped that none of our readers have been
misled into practising on this theory in order
that their houses may be also mosquito-free ;
if they have, we are sure that they have ere
this repented of it. The fact is that a slight
draft helps the mosquito, if it is in the direc-
tion in which he wishes to' move, just as it
helps any flying or floating thing; while a
gale bIOWs him to destruction in like manner.
He does not, like a moth, make a candle and
burn his wings ; but, like a sensible creature
as he is, he usesa light for his guide, and he
knows that where he sees lights burning there
are huge creatures to be found which benefi-
cent nature has provided for the delectation
of his race,land so, where he sees a light he
“goes for” it, although once within the walls
of the housein which it burns, he'is compar-
atively indifferent to it, finding the inhabi-
tants,-whether they/sit in dark corners or
nOt, metal much more attractive.
The first step to be taken for protection
from mosquitoes (which for the next month
or so-will be the torment of countless house-
holds, and particularly of little children), is
to keep the windows and doors shut in the
early evening. The time when the insect
takes his walks abroad is from an hour be-
fore to an hour after sunset, just the time,
by the way, at which the miasma of fever
and ague is most active. At this time, and
not much at any other, the mosquito enters,
houses. lie of course may come in at
others, but in very small numbers. Closed
windows at this time, and an active slaughter-
ing of such asmay have entered at others,
will keep a house pretty free of the pest.
After the night has well settled down, the
windows may be opened almost with impu-
nity, as the insect does not move about in
flocks after that time. But “windows open
about dusk are likely to be entered by wing-
ed processions, and a light is, as we have
aid, 9. guide, if not an attraction. The
closing of the windows by. gauge netting in
the earlyhsurs—is generally superfluous, as
the insect is inclined to be quiet then, except
in dark, moist weather. The notion that he
shuns light is fallacious, and is likely to have
a very pointed sort of refutation. He does
not need light for his work; but he practises
just as well under the blaze of the sun, ortlle
glare of a chandelier, as at midnight or in the
gloomiest nook of the shrubbery. ‘
'As a protection against him when he is
once established in the house there is ‘none
except netting, and as-thc people cannot live
under nets, this is available only at bed-time,
Like all insects, however, he shuns camphor,
and the sprinkling of this is some defense
while the order lasts. An ointment ‘might
be made of it which would act like plate
armor to those who would he willing to
smear their hands and faces with it ; and un-
der some visitations of this animal, one might
be ready to smear one’s self from head to
foot with anything to get relief. But let no
one be misled by another theory, and as the
mosQuito‘s poison is infused into their blood,
it is drawn? out with the blood, and there-
fore if a mosquito has begun his repast upon
yournose or your knuckles it is better to let
him finish; :than- to drive him‘ away. The
proof cf.:the pudding is in thiscase decided-
lyin.‘ the_eating,'and it will befound that the
mosquito.'nngrateful‘.yleavc torment behind
him-even When he is allowed tai’flyoff gorged
withthfe fluid that he loves. Get rid .of him
as soon aspossible. The patent antidotes to
mOSquito bites. are all catchpenny frauds.
There"is.,n0' rrcliefl except a little diluted
tial. A perfect'antidotc isa great ,desidera—
tnm; fur the'cffect of the bite lasts long
verPy unpleasant consequences. - '
rotection against summer insects of all
kinds is a problem which might ' well engage
the attention of some thoughtful and well-
instructed house keeper, if such persons still
exists. Flies are a very serious drawback'to
the comfort of the households of which
they form a part, and they have been so from
time immemorial. To see them wading
through the butter and struggling in the
milk, to have one promenade oevr your
forehead, and, when driven off, return with
perseverance and. precision exactly to the
same spot—these and other nameless and un-
namcablc consequences of their presence are
a great annoyance. Nevertheless, how little
has been done to protect us against them !
,Wire gauze, poison and sticking paper make
up the sum of our defenses. And yet there
are conditions which are protections against
them. For example, as we are informed, in
the house we mentioned before, one is rarely
seen, so that for fourteen years no manner of
protection against tllcm has been required,
even in the dining-room; What is the cause
of this exemption no one knows ; but to dis-
cover it would be ,worth as much more than
all the money invested in poison- and traps
and wire fenders, as prevention is better than
MIN.

A Caution for the Fourth.
A widespread anxiety exists among the
officers of fire insurance companies respect-
ing the approaching Fourth of July. In
every city, in cvcryVllliag’c, in every hamlet
throughout the land there‘swililt'be powder
burned and fircu'ork'sé‘litg‘ tllztln'ico the
usual prodigtllity and; egrelds 60s,; 5. There is
always a list of tires on. the: Fourth of July
in every large city.“ "But‘m‘crcly doubling or
tripling the number of such tires will not
give us the measure of the coming danger;
every small fire brings the rlsk that it. may
bea great one. A firc-zrackcr thrown intoa
bunch of shavings in a cooper’s shop in
Portland, July 4, 1866, was the means _of
burning one-half of that City, including its
business streets. The damage done by that
one fire-cracker is estimated at ten million
dollars; and to this day the scars of tho
injury are apparent inlllc vacant spaces of
chief city of Maine. The danger that small
fires on the Fourth of July may become
greater ones is specially increased by the
fact that they are very apt to break out
simultaneously ill a city ; and even With the
best of. fire departments it is scarcely possr-
blc‘to reach several tires at once. The pub-
lic displays-render- ccrtaiu an increase of
danger from powder and fireworks on the
Fourth; The greater peril will be, however,
from these things in the hands of the young
folks. There is likely to be no limlt except
in parental purses, to the supply for. uorsc
and glare. .Beforc the boys start oil in the
mist of the morning with their pistols and

crackers, and also when they are waiting 1111-
patiently in the evening for the darkness to
come, that they may touch off their fireworks,
there will be time to impress upon them the
urgent need of carofulness. They have no
conception of the risks they run, and it
would be well if a fatherly eye could keep
watch of their experiments, wll'cn they are
makingapile of wet powder, and perhaps
leaning over it to blow the punk and make lt
light. We cannot afford to have them
brought home maimed and bleeding. And
also, though this is of less importance, we
cannot afford in these hard times to burn up
a city—N. Y. Tribune. -

The Centennial.
The Ameliqaum'bn is a hundred years
old this month. There is, probably, some
man living to-day, within the borders of the
country, who first saw the light amid tllc
thundcrs of the Declaration; so that the
nation has only lived, so far, to the extreme
limit of nmuu’s life. The man is old, to be
sure, but the nation is only in its childhood.
It is hard for it people of more than forty
millions to realize this ftict of youth. We
have grown so fast, and done so much, that
we feel old, and naturally put on the airs of
age. We have had the benefit of so much
experience wrought out for us on other fields,
and we find our roots planted so deeply in
.the old natlgnalitics, that itisllard to separate
ourselves fi'dm tllcir history and their civili-
zation. .
There will be many editorials upon this
topic, and we find ourselves moved only to
allude to a a. few of tile circumstances among
which this rapid century’s gr‘or'vtll has been
effected. No Century of the world’s history
has been marked-by such discoveries as have
taken place during the lust hundred years.
If we have chosen the mostintcresting period
morning stars sang together for our first
century, we should have chosen that which
expires with this month. Steam has revolu-
tionized the world during this century. The
steamship on the sea, the locomotive on the
land, and the stationary engine as a manufac-
turing power, have taken the place of nearly
all the old forces employed in transportation
and propulsion. Our rapid development has
only been rendered possible by the multiplied
applications of this discovery.
The rapidity with which thought and in-
telligence can be communicated has been a
million times increased by the discovery of
the telegraph. We sit now, at our breakfast
tables; and read in our morning newspaper,
—themse1ves a product of the century,——thc
whole world‘s doings of the previous day.
That which fifty years ago would have
secured an impossibility, or a miracle, is to-
day a fact so familiar that it has ceased, in
the common thought, to excite attention.
We fly over land and sea more tirelessly than
a bird. We question the Antipodes, and a
messenger brings us an answer in less than
“forty minutes.” Time and space are hind-
eranccs no more. We have forestalled the
declaration of the Angel in the ApoCalypt'lc
vision. Our nation has become a family, our
world a neighborhood, through the ministry
of steam and lightning. -
Space would fail us to speak of the cotton-
gill, the power-loom, and the wonderful
swing of human labor that they have intro-
duccd; of the photograph in its multiplied
relations to science, drt, and CJIIIIIIOII life ;
of the improved plow ; the machinls for
planting, reaping, and threshing; of the
sewing-machine and the knitting-machine,—
nll inventions by which one man and one
woman become prhcticully tell men and ten
women, in the varied fields of labor ; .01' oil
drawn from the depths of the earth, almost
as abundant and cheap as water, with which
to.light the homes, not only of this country,
but all countries; of gold‘rnines, and silver
mines, and mountains of iron. It seems as
if the great discoveries of the world had
been piled into the century just expiring,
and we had seen, enjoyed, and profited by
the dcvclopmcntlof thorn nib—as if they
had been hidden from human sight from the
foundation of the world, to be uncovered for
our benefit, and to give us such a start in
life as no existing nation ever enjoyed.
- When we thinkof the strides which science
and all the useful arts have taken dllring'tlle
century; of the shackles which have been
stricken from human thought, of the eman-
cipation of serfs and slaves, all over the
world; of the inereasing comforts of the
race that have ultimated in the increase of
the average of human life; of the domains
that have been won over to Christian civilizn:
tion; of the spread of knowledge and educa-
tion among the people of the world, we are
Overwhelmed with magnitudes that we can-
not measure, and can only. be thankful for
what we have. seen, and“ cbngratulatc our-
selves that they llave. all entered as forces
into our young civilization.
We ought to be thankful that we IthC

A Song ‘of' triéfcotfi‘lit'ryj.‘ _
BY JOHN STUART BLACKIE.
Away from the rear and the raffle,
The dust and the din of the town,
Where to live is to brawl and to' battle,
Till the strong trends the weak man down.
Away to the bonnie green hills
. .Where the sunshine sleeps on the brse,
‘ And thevheart of the greenWood thrills
To the hymn of the bird on the spray.»
Away from the snicke'and the smother
The veillof the dun and the brown, ,
The push and the plush and the pother,
The wear and the waste of the town 2
Away where the sky shines clear, '
And the light breezes wander at will,
And the dark pine wood nods near
Tothe light plumed birch on the hill.
Away from the whirling and wheeling,
And steaming above and below,
Where the heart has no leisure for feeling
And the thought has no quiet to 'grow.
Away where the clear brook purls,
And the hyacinth droops in the shade.
And the plume of the fern unclirls
Its grace in the depth of the gladc.
Away to the cottage so sweetly
Embowercd ’neath the fringe of the wood,
Where the wife of my bosom shall meet me,
With thoughts ever kindly and good;
More dear" than the wealth of the world,
Fond mother with bairnies three;
And the plump—armed babe that has curled
Its lips sweetly pouting for me. ,
Then away from the roar and the rattle,
The dust and the din of the town,
Where to live is to brawl and tobattle
Till the strong treads the weak man down.
Away where the green twigs nod ‘
In the fragrant breath of the May,
And the sweet growth spreads on the sod,
And the blithc birds sing on the spray.

10.1.1,ch MEETING or A-xnlv'rnoxrsx wno
HAD A “ FEASIBLE ” rumour.
Thc boot-black at‘ the corner-stand on 0.
street was looking for a customer. He was
as black as the ace of spades, and as he care-
lessly dusted off his stand with the stump of
a corn brush, he occasionally paused and
rolled his eyes hungrily up and down the
street. '
Presently a tall, raw-boned, middle-aged
man, with a considerable length of goatee
and not a little breadth of bat rim, stopped
and glanced at the stand with a show of
interest.
“ Have a shine, boss ?” said the owner of
the stand, giving his chair a parting slap
with his brush. “Shine ’em up. in half a
minit, ssh. You’ll jist have time to glance
over de morning papers." '
Without deigning an answer, the lank
chap climed into the seat before him.
“ Whar yer a-rollin’ them pants to l" was
his first remark after the proprietor of the
stand began to operate.
“All right now, boss. We» musn’t muss
’em, you see. It’s all feasible now, ssh.”
“ Wall, perceed to busines.”
“ I’s a—movin’, boss ; I’s a-nrovin’, sah.”
“Wall, see that you keep a.movin'." -
"’De people of de Souf,” said the boot-
black, cooking a cunning eye. upon his cusp
tomer, “de people of de Souf (another look
of the eye) most allus gives us pore cullnd
boys any little feasible jobs dey’s got.”
- “ You think I’m from the South— 1"
“ I’s from de Souf mayself, ssh."
“ Likely. "
“ I's from de Souf, salt—from ole Kain-
tuck, sah.”
“ Indeed ?"
“ Sartin, boss, I’s from Lex’nton, Kain-
tuck, sah,” scraping away with an old case-
knife at the mud on the soles of his custo-
mer’s boots.
“ I’m from Kentucky myself, and from
Lexington,” said the man, beginning to look
interested. I I
. “ So you're from Lexington, eh ?”
“ Jes so, boss. Practically I was born
dar, sah." V
“ Like you, I was born tbar.”
‘»‘ Nice old town, boss."
It very-n .
“ I golly, boss, ef I didn't think from dc

gentlemand. 'on’ve gothgood deal of de

dents dat used to be about de ole Transyl-
vany ‘Varsity ; but you's aged a little, boss
——aged a le-etle grain more dan was de boys
in dem days.”
“ I've often seen the old university."
“ It was a fine old town, too. De .main
street wasmorc dan a mile long; dar war
beautiful trees ’long de streets, and :de or-
* phan ’sylum, an’ dé . baggin factory, de wire

“ An’ de ribber ; I gollygdat .fust big bend

“ Amazin’.”
“ I say, boss, practically, you never hap-
pened to know a cullid boy named Columbus
Parsons, as lived out on the road to’ards
whar old Henry Clay was horned—out to’-
ards Ashland-‘—did yer, sub ‘3”
“ I knowed a colored boy named Colum-
bus Parsons that ‘ rode old Woodpecker
against Ploughboy down at the Blue Grass
course and won the puss.”
“ De Lord love us I Was you dar ? ' De
great hokey I Practically, I am dat' same
Columbus Parsons what rode old Wood-
pecker and won de puss down der to "Blue

“ The Columbus Parsons Iknowed used to
he a great fiddler; played for all the balls
and parties for miles mound.”
“But was me,'sah. I Iwasde boy. Now
you’s heginnin’ to know me 1" .“The
Columbus Parsonsl used to know was a
great singer—Was lightnin’ at all the nigger
camp-meetin’s.” . .
“ Dat was me, boss. I’m identically and
practically dat same Columbus; Parso , as!
You’s got the most feasible mem’ry dat I
ever saw, sah."
“ The Columbus Parsons _I knowed went
down to Frankfort and ran on the river as
steward of the Bell Wagner.”
“ Yah, yah ; you knows me—you knows
me, boss! You knows me like a brother, sahl
In dem days didn’t I put on de apparel?
Wasn’t I attired? Praeticallyrsah, you'll .

“The Columbus Parsons that Iknowed,

pecker, the Columbus Parsons that .used. to
sing at camp-meetin’s, the Columbus .Par-
sons that was steward on the: Bell? Wagner,
that Columbus Parsons busted open't-hetrunk
of a passenger, stole a thousand dollar's, and
was sent to the State Prison at Frankfort,
for five years.” . ' . '

“ You think so ?"
