A Rain of Frogs" In Ara
ZOna.

The phenomenon Familiarity
known as the ''rain of frogs" has
been ridiculed and contradicted by
certain scientists, nevertheless, there
is abundant proof to show that it
has occurred, and probably will
again.
In 1864, the writer, in company
with some fifty other travellers. had
personal experience of the fact. We
were in Arizona, not less than twen-
ty miles from any stream, pond, or
water. The day was extremely sui
try, and we had halted to let the an
imals Craze and rest for an hour or
two.
Not living thing besides our
selves and horses was in sight, and
certainly no frogs were hopping
over the rich, tufted gramma-grass,
which covered the ground for miles
in every direction. Suddenly a
dense, black cloud made its appear
anee,and it soon began to discharge
q copious rain upon our unsheltered
heads.
The drops were very large, and
the water quite warm. Nearly every
person wore 4 broad -brimmed felt
hat,which proved great protection
against the rain as well as against
the sun. Our attention was soon
arrested by the pelting of some
thing which struck our hats like
hail, but which proved to be frogs,
and in less than two minutes the
grass was fairly alive with those
creatures. Several of the party
took some from their hat-rims. Our
unexpected visitors were all of one
size, about quarter of an inch long
from nose to rump, very lively, and
apparently in the best condition.
Their fall had been broken by the
springy, resilient nature of the
grass.
1t is not probable that several
hundred thousand,perhaps millions,
of frogs had suddenly been hatched
into life in the ground by the rain,
or, if they had, that in their infan-
tile glee they jumped five feet eleven
inches from the earth to the top of
our heads merely to show how the
game of leap-frog should be played.
Nor had they any such caudal ap-
pendages as are grenerally attached
to juvenile rama. They came from
above, in company with the rain;
and this fact was made clear by
holding out the hand and seeing
them fall upon it,as well as finding
them on our hat-rims.
The eggs from which these rep
tiles sprung. had undoubtedly been
drawn up into the atmosphere by
the action of water-spout, and
held in suspension with aqueous
particles long enough to hatch them
out and give them perfect form;
then, by the force of mutual attrac-
ton, the separated particles of va
por got together in such masses as
to heavy sheets of water, which, in
turn, became amenable to the law of
attraction of gravitation, returning
to the earth from whence it had
been drawn. In the fall new di-
visions were created, called ''drops,"
among which the frogs descended,
having been, obedient to similar
forces ARE moving with aqueous par
ticles.
This is cited to show that other
things besides vapor are translated
from earth to atmosphere by certain
wellknown and accredited develop
ments of natural laws.-Orerland

Washington go illustrious.
The first one examined gave the con.
venient and familiar name OF Smith, and
stated that he was tailor by occupation,
and had lived in Lowell about fifteen
months. But the next one OF the vera
cious trio quite upset this statement by
declaring that he had always known his
companion by the name of Billy Wilson,
and that he had lived in Lowell since
1865. Other statements were equally
contradictory, and Justice Porter, finding
