Adventures Of a Horned Toad.

New York Tribune, llth.
The postal laws prohibit the sending
of live animals through the mails but
nevertheless, many living curiosities
lind their way into the postofice.
Whenever discovered they are de-
tanned, and are usually killed but
this action has been taken on the re-
sponsibility of the postmaster. A few
days ago the Tribune announced the
arrival of a horned toad, and as he
was good specimen Colonel James
concluded to make him a test
case. The toad was forwarded to
Washington accompanied by letter
which set forth that the creature
had been sent on without the usual
detention, because CLOSE confinement
in the Office would endaager its ex-
istence. The postmaster also asked
advice regarding the disposition of this
class Of nnmailable matter, as he was
not authorized to destroy It; and he
added that if he were authorized he
was unaware by what painless method
its destruction could be accomplished
The department has replied, approx
ing the action of Postmaster James in
forwarding the toad without delay,
and recommending his course as a
precedent in future cases. 1T is with
no little qualification, says the writer
Of the letter, that the department
recognizes through your letter that
Mr. Berghs good influence prevails
in the postofice of New York"
