CRAZY CORRESPONDENTS.
There may be some doubts as to the sanity
of some of the writers of the above letters.
Of the insanity of the writer of the following
there can be none. 1t is written in an excel
lent hand, on paper bearing the printed let
ter-head, western Kentucky Lunatic Asy-
lum:"

fire, that we may have no need of any more

worshiped himself, nor did he ever advise
others to do so, and if the people cannot see

If you become insulted at what have said,
then you are not prepared for the kingdom of
heaven. Why don't the people act? God
will pounce on them some day. If all this
availeth you nothing, you will have to end in
disappointment and despair. If my enemies
will not acknowledge me, have the power
to make it rough for them, certain. am
staying in an asylum, and playing the lunatic
splendidly. Have just finished writing a
short note TO all the governors of the United
States and the queen of England, so you may
look out for tornadoes, fire and hail. l also
sent each of them photograph of myself"
