An Oration .was- lately delivered 'by Hprt. Matti H. Carpenter, at the dedication of “Me morial Hall,” at the College in Beloit, Wiscon sin—a building meant to commemorate the. services of the students who died in the. war of the rebellion. The following passages, coming from a new Senator; but one of great ability,-' are interesting: - - With a nation, its field of labor is the world. The civilized powers of the earth in the society of nations, stand in much the same relation to each other that individuals hold towards each other in civil society and their intercourse is regulated by the lavf- of nations, which Mon- -. tesqufeu says is “fouußed on the principle that different nations ought to do each other as much good in peace, and as little liann in war, as pos sible,'without injury to their, true inteVqsts; and we may add, without injury to the triie interests -of mankind. Nations are equal in rights, and wholly independent of each other. And every nation has an absolute right, as regards its -neighbors, to establish such form of-civil polity .as it pleases. If any people prefer a Republi can or Monarchical government they are en titled to have it; and no other nation has the light to interfere. This is the undoubted doc tnne of the Law of Nations; and every nation is bound to observe it; and any nation which violates it, gives cause of offence to every other nation; because each is interested that the law should be observed by all. This law 1 , then, is our law,, both in its restraints and in its privi leges. All that we do as a nation must be done in obedience to its provisions; and we have arr undoubted right to require of all other nations the same obedience. Any intervention on orrr part to coerce the establishment of republican institutions in Spain, would be an infraction of this law; and any intervention by England or France fo establish monarchy over that people would be equally unlawful. We have said that. out- field is the world; let ■us look over this field, and see if there is aught • that we can do. England is the first country we meet, sur veying tire field eastward, and.her present con . dition and the relations wlricli exist between . that government and orrrs, merit a more ex ; tended consideration than tire time will warrant. The.firstrthmg to be examined there, because .-at present it is engrossing all her tlroirglrt, is the contest, hourly growing hotter and hotter, i between the people and the privileged classes. In form' she has a monarchical government; a queen; a House of Lords, representing the no bility, the landed aristocracy, and the Estab-' Fished Church of the realm; and a House of Commons, standing for the people.. The .House of Commons, is overwhelmingly re publican; the House of Lords is thoroughly wedded to the existing abuses in church and .-State; the Houses are engaged in a fierce strug gle for the supremacy, and the Queen is a .. silent and powerless observer of the contest. The Commons have passed a bill disestablish- ,mg the Irish Church; the Lords, after the most 'violent and disorderly debate ever kuown in that House—-a debate during which by-stand ersfor the first time in English history groaned .ait the nonsense of a Lord—destroyed the effect • of the bill by amendments which the Commons have indignantly rejected. The difference be i tween the Houses is one of principle which no • committee of conference can reconcile,and one .House or the other must recede; and it is cer .taiff that the Commotis will not, because they .are supported by the"people; and the voice of the people is omnipotence ven in Great Britain. This bill may be delayed, it cannot be defeated. When it becomes a law there is no principle .upon which the establishment. of the English <Church can be defended, and it must, go with -i-ithe lript ehurcbr Tlieu the Bishop? must ...leave, the House of Lords; and then the House . ~»£Lords,purged of its,only._popular, .element, .may well apprehend the accidents which John .Bright tlireatened them w.ith, amL.the. crown itself will be in equal danger. Revolutions in -popular feeling never go backwards. The .movements in England at the present time give goodly promise that at no distant day Great Britain will be a Republic in form as it already is in substance. At all events it is safe to •predict tbatthe people of England will here after control the government-whatever may be its. form. The condition of our relations with that government enables us either to aid or em barrass the liberal party in England, without .any violation of the law of nations. During .the late war, that government was in the hands .of the Tory party; and the , aristocracy of 'England sympathized, as was to have been ex ,peeled, with the slaveliolding aristocracy of the South. The pirate ship Alabama was built in full view of the Government; its intended use .was well known; it was niauned with English seamen, and was in all respects, except its com .mander,. an English vessel. It went forth to prey upon our commerce, in the interest of a Slaveholder’s rebellion. The actual damage to ®ur shipping and merchandise, as shown by claims filed in the office of the Secretary of State,-amounts, it is said, to $9,300,000, in round numbers; a large sum certainly, but still a sum that we can save by economical ad ministration, .before breakfast. This sum is .capable of esa'ct liquidation, and must be paid in .money, whether England remains a .monarchy or becomes a republic. But wo may ■ suit the timc.and manner of enforcing this .claim to circumstances; and thereby may, in .directly, exert .a powerful influence upon English politics. Our Government may pay these ;claims • to our' citizens, and charge the .amount in the great .ledger of national accoun ,lability; to be collected when we please, and as we please; through the slow methods of .diplomacy, ..qr by .the quick, sharp, process of --iieprisal and witr. This acknowledged ' claim' Against England, injtlie hands of our Govern- Agent, is wortli more than its face, and is the most .effectual bond we could hold against England to keep thepeace. , _ / .;jßut.this claim is .only .a .drop in the bucket, of -the great injury committed by England, upon American interests, the rights of man, aid the cause of liberty, during the war. She - lost no cjpportunity to increase our ‘difficulties,, to prolopqg the war, to insure the utter destruc tion of this great and much envied -republic. K h e furnished rebels with anjjs audmottey, she gave; countenance tp their presumption, and enrourageuMtht to their wickedness, in every , PMnhW’wmb The injuries, committed by the : Alabama fell,uponmjr materialinterests, and' may be repaired by t.mw and 1 industry, But opr pecuniary injuries <io measure the transgressions of* England.

Sorshouhl , we,;by accepting- money- for this' injury, say. jto the world that we are'a nation ‘of peddlers; that we look only to pash balances ; tliaf any foreign nation is at liberty to fire upon otir Hog, i insult our sovereignty, wring bun hoses, and send us a check. ' ’ The insolence of England in the matter ol i Mason anti Slidell was even more insupportable than the injuries she committed by the Ala-- bama. They were on their way to Europe in a British vessel, one the. accredited representa tive of thd-rebellion to the court of Victoria, and. the other to the court of Napoleon. An American naval officer boarded .the vessel and arrested these ministers plenipotentiary of treason, and iedgedlhem safely m a nrdltary stronghold of our Government. Conceding this proceedings to have been irregular, and technically a violation of the rights of a neutral power, yet what an admirable opportunity it afforded England to show a friendly feeling toward our Government;-- We were in a hand to hand struggle for our national , existence. England was at profound peace with all the world. Tears might have been employed by that fat and lazy old monarchyin investiga tions, in asking from our’ Government the cir cumstances of the case, and thus giving us an opportunity to release these traitors, if they must be released, without suffering any humi liation. In 1837, when Canada was in revolt, the ship Caroline was, or was supposed to be, aiding tlie Canadian patriots. A British force invaded our territory, cut her loose from her moorings in American waters, and sent her a riven monument of British wrath, blazihg over the cataract of Niagara,'freighted with .'the dead body of at- least one American citizen. * A clearer clase of the actual invasion of a neutral power, a more wanton violation of the law of nations, never was seen. ; Yet. this offence was suffered by our Government to go on for four years through the easy stages of diplomacy, and it was finally settled in the correspondence which led to the Webster-Asliburton treaty, by Ashbiirton saying . -lie was sorry, and Webster’s saying that would d,o. But our friendly forbearance was not followed by England in the case of Mason and Slidell. Upon the exparte reports of her own subjects, England decided the case in her Own favor, and sent us a peremptory demand for an apology, and for the immediate release of the traitors. Three days afterward, the French Goveriunent, evidently at the instigation of England, directed the French minister at Washington to inform our Government, how deeply aggrieved France was at- the outrage we had committed upon England. This combination ’ of two great nations was intended •to overawe and browbeat our Government, and . I never can think of Seward’s reply to Eng land’s demand without feeling that the design completely s iicceeded. That reply, in seventeen solid pages, more or less, is the most uncandid and shameful paper that ever ema nated from an American Secretary of State. It asserted (1) that we had a perfect right to take these rebels; (2) that we had no right whatever to take them; (3) that we were a going to give them up; and (4) that we would not do so if it were of any consequence to detain them. After determining to release these prisoners, ■Seward’s reply should have been couched in ten lines. lie should have informed England ’ that her demand was technically right, and was acceded to because it was right; and that the direct manner and curt style in which she had made her demand would be the precedent we should follow in demanding our rights of Eng land in the future;- For all these injuries and all this insolence, we have a right to hold England responsible, as one nation must answer to another; we have a perfect right to go to war. with her if we pieasp; and tliis right will keep. We can bide our time, select the occasion, and if in some crisis of her political destiny we should see that it was in our power, by enforcing our nt- - most rights by war, to be an instrument hi the hands of God to avenge the outrages- commit ted by that blood-stained monarchy, and in es tablisliing the preponderance of the republican element of her people, no principle of the law of nations, would be violated, that we had cho sen that moment for the stern enforcement of our just rights.; One nation in dealing with another is at lib erty to hold the whole nation responsible for the. wrongs committed by the governing class of the offending nation. But a generous aud powerful nation is not bound to enforce 'its just demands unless it pleases to do so; and will not, whenever it can see that the injury to be inflicted by war would fall upon guiltless heads." And we ought not to ignore the fact that, although the aristocracy of England, which happened at that time to be the Govern ment, were most unfriendly to us, the people of England were our friends. There is not a grander instance of self-sacrificing devotion to principle in the history of the world than was exhibited by themanufacturers--of-England in tlie_sturdy, resolution with which they stood.up j for the rights of our Government, testifying plieir.sympatliyrfor_Qurxause,.iii-the midst-of. a population starving for want • of employment. Cotton they could not obtain,* with out recognizing the independence of the South. Yet they elected to suffer whatever hardships might come to themselves rather than wink at so great a national' crime; and they kept so keen a watch and so steady an eye upon their Government that' it dare not recognize the South. A declaration of war at this tune would visit its losses and hardships, so far as England is concerned, upon the very classes who were our warm friends, arid did and suffered every thing they could for our sake. The aristocracy of England would not fight many battles, nor pay much in taxation. The people of England who were not at fault, would thus be made to expiate the sins of their riders which they steadily protested against when committed. This we do not desire. In a spirit of generous statesmanship, let us rather say to our brother Republicans of England, “you have got the aristocracy on a down grade, noiv push them. We .will wait for our ten millions, actual pecu niary loss, until you get into power and can pay it; and when you have trampled the governing classes under your heel, you will thereby have saved us the trouble oi' chastising them for their insolence; and then w-e will clasp hands across the Atlantic in joint sympathy with every people struggling to be free.” The great offence of England was an of fence against the world, an act of rebellion against the moral government of God; and we have no right to take the place of the Almighty and compound her crimes for money. Tim' wages'of sin in the individual is 'death. The wages of sin in the case of a great nation, is destruction. And if it shall please God, in His wisdom, to visit upon the guilty old monarchy of England, the utmost penalty of her high transgression, we at least can say “Thy will be done. ( _... ..... .. It is time that .the plain ' truth should'be spoken; and frankness, though a little disagree able, will'tend to promote an adjustment ol our differences with Great Britain. We are sick and tired of the conventional hypocrisy that has so long characterized the intercourse between the public men of both countries; sick and tired of the everlasting songs that cele brate our pretended unity of face, language arid,institutions. The fact is, that between tlie people of the United States and the people of England there may, and there does exist warm sympathy and sincere friendship. But betweenagrowing hopeful people like ours, looking to tlie future,and rushing- on the path of improvement and reform, aiid an old proud, expiring aristocracy dinging to the past and re sisting all change, like tliat which lias governed Great Britain, there is no friendship, there can be none. We liave no opinions, no hopes, no ends, in common. There is indeed one mutual sentiment; they would rejoice over our down fall as ice certainly should at theirs.

This-is-'.the. . principle > upon which English nation has withstood and advanced upon arbitrary power,, until the Queen is tied hand andfpot„and must obey her Parliament. The experiment in France will ripen into fruits even faster than it did in England. 1 This concession made, and arbitrary power is dead in-Frarice. —~—~ Spain is rocking in the throds; of revolution. Left to herself she would hq a republic within twelve month's. We have recently sent a Min ister to that country to represent our opinions and- sentiments. There he will meet the re presentatives of England and France. What is lie to say to them ? I know. nothing of his in structions; and am therefore in no danger of disclosing State seCrets. But, 1. know, what he should say to them,- 1 and have a pretty clear idea of what, if left to himself, he Would say. Spain is to-day, jf .tlm opportunity be properly improved, the most. important, of ; all .our mis sions. Her affairs are in tliat formation state, where the proper course pursued by the representative of this great Republic may contribute much to niake her a republic; and that too without violatingrthe law of nations. The time has passed in the history of the world, when nothing but force • can avail in shaping the course of public events. . Our Minister will find in .Spain a great Repub lican party, the remnant of an aris- and a people generally ready to receive with great joy ,tlie gospel of equal rights. It wfll be in liis. power, in various ways representing this great nation, to encourage and direct the republican tendencies of that people. And to the representatives of France and England, lie should say: “This people have a perfect right to fashion their, own institutions in tlieif own way. The United Stateshope they will establish a republic. Nevertlielcss, we do • not propose to interfere in the matter beyond friendly advice; because the law of nations and the fust principles of self government forbid. But the law of., nations is mu' law as well as yours; it binds you as well as us; this law we will not violate, and you shall not violate tins law.” “Simply this and nothing more,” and Spain will be a' republic. Re generated by. • free institutions, by the cor rection of abuses, the distribution of rights ahd privileges, and by the impetus that liberty will, give to the enterprise Of her people, Spain-may be once more, what she once was, a first-class power; and send forth influences potent for the reformation of the world, which will be of far greater moment to man than all the discoveries made by her ancient mariners. Italy too is hopeful ground for republican ism. Her people are arousing from the leth argy of centuries, ahd looking to, nationality 'and freedom once more; and the march of liberal thought has reached even the masses of Prussia, Austria and Russia. Everything indi cates an awakening, and an advance; and all changes hereafter are likely to be in favOr of the people, and against the privileged classes. In this condition of the world the United States should and must have a foreign policy. It is shirking the responsibilities of our posi tion, neglecting the duty God has cast upon .us as a nation, to; stand indifferent to the issue be tween Republican institutions; and arbitrary power going on all over the world. While slavery existed here, . our representatives abroad were constrained to silence. They had to say to Russia and Austria, “you may trample upon Hungary, we are oppressing the negro ; say nothing to us and we will say nothing to you.” But we have cast out this fearful beam from our . own eye, and are now authorized, by divine, license, to consider the mote in our brother’s eye. We are no longer a house divided against itself; talking freedom and upholding, slavery. The liberation of our slaves has enfranchised the nation. We ought hereafter to speak earn estly, and need not apprehend the taunt: “ Physician, heal thyself.” We must plant ourselves upon the principle of the law of na- ; lions,that every people have the right to govern themselves by such form'of government as they please; and that no other nation has a. right to dictate Upon the subject. But, says, some cautious soul; this means war, ahd war. will result in taxation. Not so; it means; peace—peace, if we have to fight for it; peace ; tor ourselves and for all "mankind! We say, for instance, that Spain has a right to become ■ a republic or a monarchy as she shall- elect.' But, says the objector, after you have said so, suppose Napoleon sends an army into Spain to set up. a monarchy, then you must make war upon France. Not necessarily. We .'shoultT then say to France tliat-she had violated tlur law.of nations, and ..given, jail. other. ..nations,; offence. But it does not follow that we should make-war—upon-Fiance.—When-England sento a military force into our territory and captured the ship Caroline ahd serit it over tlie cataract, she gave Us just cause for War. But we did not 'go to war with her. ■ We treasured it up as an affront for which she must some time answer, and in due time the settlement came to otu satisfaction. When England sent forth the Alabama to destroy our commerce, she.gave us cause for war. We have not made,/war yet; and whether we ever shall will depend upon circumstances, and upon our own good pleasure. The assumption that war must follow if the United States objects to one nation’s abusing and oppressing another ignores the spirit of our age and the influences of our modern national intercourse. It has been sqid that God and one man constitute a majority. That is, one man, right, is stronger than all men wrong A clear , truth supported by one powerful nation will soon be recognized by all nations. Napoleon ! said at \St. Helena that Russia desired to deal with Turkey, but that he would not consent that Russia should have Constantinople, for that would give lifer the domain of Asia; and Russia kept her hands off The protest of any first-class power against the intervention of Russia in the Hungarian struggle would prob ably have saved that nationality. Hungary could. have maintained her liberties against Austria; but eighty thousand bayonets from Russia turned the scale and crushed out the nationality of a liberty-loving people. We have grown to such importance as a nation that we can no longer wink at one nation’s oppressing another, or stand by while a wrong is committed which it is in our power to' prevent, without being responsible, morally, for tliat wrong. But,says the objector, Washington, in his farewell ad dress, counselled us to avoid all en tanglement in the' affairs of other nations: can any- man be sound Who differs from o.nr. Father Washington? The fiyewell address spake the words of wisdom for, his own generation, and correctly euun . ciated the duty of om- people at that time. We were then in our infancy; three or' four mil lions of people, scattered over a wilderness of country, burdened with a debt we could not pay; and our interference in European affairs, tinder such circumstances, would have been’as : ridiculousas.it would have been ineffectual.. ■ It would have ruined us and benefited no body. No nation, no individual, is in . duty bound to attempt, impossibilities. Washington was addressing a people then in the nursery; and said, in substance, “You are little boys; now, be good little boys, and everybody will ove you.” Helplessness, is an immunity to a nation in its infancy, as to an individual child! But that condition has passed, that immunity lias ceased. We have attained oUr manhood, and must now face the duties and'bear the re sponsibilities of manhood. life must be about our Father's business.

Ad vance iu the line of duty, and with God as our shield, who can harm us? Turn aside from duty, men will despise us, and God will destroy us. It is itE.MAUMAKLE, and sad to contem plate, how. few of the eminent discoverers and conquerors of the New World died in peace.

" The Prince iioyal of Denmark 'was mar ried yesterday, r.tcr the PrincessLoUise of Sweden. v _ At New York, yesterday, the Ecktord Base Ball Club, of.tliat city, beat the Maryland Club, of Baltimore, by a sebre of 24'to 0. ' GitAuoNAitn & ScnNEiUEit’s tobacco fac „toiy, in New Orleans; lias beeu seized for vio lation of the revenue. ..... Coe. Baku, of the Judge Advocate-General’s Office, lets awived in Washington from/Missis sippi with the record of the evidence lie took in the Yeiger trial there. The findings of the court have not been divulged. A Pams despatch says: “La Liberte reports that the Spanish Minister here has received inr formation that the disturbances m Spaih.liave only commenced, _ and not ended, but the Carlista'in this city deem their cause lost.” Jeijge Dent declares, in contradiction of ,the rumor from L6ngßnuicb,.tliathe intends to accept the Conservative nomination .for Governor of Mississippi without regard to the wishes of the President or any one else. „ In TiiKllouse of'Commons, last night, Mr. Otway said that the' present condition of affairs between Mexico and England prevented the English Government from aiding the holders of Mexican bonds. The forger Abbott, arrested a few days ago in New York for uttering spurious Rock Island certificates; : it is how discovered had altered a quantity- of Michigan Central- certifi cates to larger amounts than they were Issued for, and was preparing to dispose’ of them. ATEititißEE riot is reported to have oc curred on the steamer Dubuque, on the Mis sissippi river, near Rock Island. It : giow out: •f a refusal to admit tiifysmen to the cabin,’ and involved the passengers and crew. Eight men are reported"to have been killed. . The Harvard crew was out on the Thames twice yesterday. In the morning ..they rowed twice from Putney to Ilamnieremith.and; back, aud in the afternoon to West Lake' and re turned. They have now settled down to steady practice. . , . A Madiui) despatch says: “The Carlist agitators are dispirited. A plot to assassinate tlie Captain-General of. Catalonia has lieen dis covered and frustrated. The Garlist forces ip the province-of Ciudad Real have fled to the Valley of Alcadia, with the government troops m pursuit. Several C'arlists, captured with arms’ in their hands, have treeri condemned to death by a council of. war, hut efforts will be made to liave their sentences commuted.” Coe, John W. Jenkins, Chairman of the Republican State Committee of Virginia, has addressed a letter to Dr. George K. Gilmer, Chairman .of the Walker Republican Executive Committee, covering a proposition to consoli date the two wings of, the Republican party, in order to create a permanent and powerful party that shall secure the prosperity of the State. The answer of the Chairman'of the Walker party to the proposition las not yet been made public. ■ : ; The Shaker community of New Lebanon, Oliio, have made - their Income return col lectively, amounting to $56,000, from .which they ciaima deduction of $40,000, “$l,OOO for each member’of the. community.” " Tlie ques tion was submitted.to, the Commissioner of In-, temal Revenue as to their right;to claim such a deduction. The retiim laying been fuade as from one person, the ’’Co)umissioder "decided that a deduction of $l,OOO only can be allowed, and not $l,OOO on each person, as 'if the re turns had been made to the collector by each individual. This is a reversal of the old de •ision, which allowed the deduction on account of each covenanting member of the community; •Skvkhae persons lave written from New York to Commissioner Delano, saying that the collector there announces that where persons •are delinquent In the payment of taxes by the •proper time he will impose a penalty of five pep<feisK, with interest, and they desire to elcnow whether the law-sustains such a course. The Commissioner replies by citing a portion of the act of July 13, 1860, as. amended by the act of March 2,15C7, which reads as follows : “ The person or persons failing o \ neglecting to pay said tax shall pay t a penalty’ of -five’ per centum, together with interest, at the rate of one per cent, per month, upon said . tax from: the time the same became duev but no interest for any fraction of a month shall be de manded.” Tbo UettpibariE Battlc-flcldl. The following letter has been .sent to the Federal and Confederate Generals in pursuance of the resolution some time since adopted by ~: the Gettysburg llattle-field Memorial Associa ;: tion. Oiie fonn of letter was addressed to all •j = GKTVvsHCKo,T , a.Tduly"29,“lSC9.^Genei‘«i^ i: The Gettysburg. Battle-tiold Memorial Associa tion, organized spoil after the battle, since in - ■ -corporated and holding in absolute-tenure the l : moreunportantportionsof the battle-grounds, being memorial arid historical in its purpose and character, has unanimously adopted resolu ’ : lions (already published), . which accompany fitliis letter, determining t 6 proceed to indicate i the field with enduring memorials constructed of tlie <irauitc from its lulls, and thus to per il'' mancntly.inark out the positions and move* ;i ments of-the annics, corps, divisions, and im portant commands in the battle, ji _ , Its object is to peipetiiate the history of the :j | " battle.in its simple truth, and to that end to j make the battle-field its own interpreter. It • j sceks to preserve this field,'.truly-indicated, as J ! an enduring historical memorial of the military j: | events of the Ist, 2d, and 3d of July, 1803, as a || sclioohfor study in practically illustrating the |i -art of war, and an eyer-eloquent though silent | exponent, alike to citizen and foreign visitor, ’j] of the 'battle of Gettysburg. I j The more effectually to accomplish tliis its f 3 purpose, and before proceeding to erect the in ;| | -ilications, the association desires to derive the ') | :important; requisite information from authentic )■ | and original sohrees. •It earnestly realizes that •i 6 justice to themselves and fidelity to the truth ]|i of history eiititle the officers who commanded :j] the forces in,action to designate the positions i | and define the movements thus to be per ; j petuated. i j With this high historic purpose in view, I am II -instructed by tlie hoard,- as secretary and on ] j behalf of the association, to invite you, Gene -31 ral, to co-operate in this work of indication ii | -and to attend a reunion of the officers of your ] i -brigade, division, corps, and army upon the 11 battle-grounds, there to, confer together aud 33 | determine the positions afid important points J S proper to be thus epduringly, designated. i.j - The time fixed for the meeting Is the week ■|| -commencing with the twenty-third day of Au- J j gust next. The place of meeting is the Gettys j| burg Springs Hotel, upon the battle-field, where i: - the accommodations are ample and excellent. iK It is requested that at the same time that - they reply to tills invitation', the officers invited ||; address the surviving ranking officer of their’ corps, and express, if practicable, their inten i -.tiou to be present, and he,is also .requested to 1 3 communicate with the secretary. } i Arrangements are in. progress to secure to the visiting officers the courtesy office travel to, !! ,:utd probably also from,, this reunion, oyer the. i; railroads leading thitlief. ' j ■ The association-lias also an-anged for the ; commutation of the hotel charges to a very j moderate price, while securing comfort anil j every desirable attention. The press of the country has also been re ! quested to further the consummatipri desired, I- and is generously responding. - 3 I The officei'S and directors sincerely hope tliatj 1 you, General, may find it both agreeahle'and 1 convenient to accept tlie invitation hereby ten-; j : . doted to this reunion, which wiU bo ail ocea- - sion of great personal and. publicj historic interest:, ? ‘Awaitlng'your reply,' lam very respectfully yours, ' D. McConauoiiy, 1 . f - Secretary of Gettysburg Battle-field Memorial . Association. A Good Word lor the JKMqnlto. . As so many readers will, find themselves in close contact with this insect presently, we quote wlidt ffitsj iKntO/horoofof'’ says coh'cefliing him, for their iediflcatibii:'’ •' * : The eggs of the jnosqujto are laid in a bowl shaped mass .upon the surface of stagnant water, by the mother fly.' After hatching ou they, finally/ become f .,the tails or wiggle worms that may : be seen in the summer in any barrel of water that is cx r posed to the atmosphere, for,.any. length of time. Finally the. < fw}gglo-taili”i’cdme to the surface, and the full-fledged, mosquito:; bursts out of them,, at first with very short limp wings, which in a short time grow both hi length and stiffness. The sexes then couple, and the above process is repeated again, proba bly a dozen times in the course of one season! It is a curious' fact that the male mosquito, which may..lie known. by.its feathered anteme, is physically incapable of suckihg’blood. The mosquito is not an umnitigated pest. Although in the winged jstate the female .sucks our blood arid • disturbs our rest, in the larva state the insect is decidedly beneficial, by puri fying stagnant water that . would , otherwise breed malarial diseases. Linnaeus long ago showed that if you place . two barrels of'stag nant’water side by side, neither of them con taining any “wiggle tails,” or other living animals, and cover ono with gauze,' leaving the other one uncovered, so that it will soon be come full of “wiggle tails,” batched out from the eggs deposited by the female mosquito, thou the-covered- barrel will* in a few weeks, become very offensive, and the uncovered barrel will emit.no impure and unsavory vapors.
