Show A NEW "WHAT IS IT?" The "man bug" U the name of a most peculiar and autre specimen of the insect creation if intccl it be that can now bp seen at tho S'eirx Lft-ler Lft-ler office. This remarkable curiosity readied here on Wednr.-day last on t'.ie bark William M. Daly, and wan given to Henry Odger, the first mate of that vessel, by the natives of a small island called Iviwce or Iwiwau, lying some sixty miles south of the Samoan group. The creature has a body of a dark preen color, mottled with yellow or orange-colored tools. This is about fife inches long by two and a hall broad, of a beetle shape and terminating at the head in a pair ot very red and vicioua-lroking eyes and two horny mandibles of a like color and a decidedly snappish an prarance. It ban nj appearance of of wings. Its most peculiar feature, however, is a single pair of spidery legs attached to tne lower end of iu nody. Ihcao are nlout twevle nr fourteen incites in length and singularly singu-larly resemble those of a man in regard re-gard to the number of joints and the f.ict that it stands holt upright on them. The creature s'.atid; tome font and a half high, walks with a long, crane-like stride, and is like nothing so much as an immense .June hug on stilts. Its only known food is mire, and thf.so, when introduced into the largo bird-cage that confines it, it seizes with a sudden dayh of its foot or claw and despatches voraciously. Messrs. .Edwards, Dickson and other "bug sharj s" why have seen it are totally unable lo clas-wly or place it. This rara avis goes ea-t in the care of Dr. Hilmerding, through whom it will be sent to I'rofcs.-or ifeiny, at the mitiisonian institute :il Wns'hinglon, aud from which scientific quarter we. hope to hear more of this veritable wonder. ti.
