Among the many pranks of the
lightning during the storm recently,
it reported that citizen whose name
it is unnecessary to MENTION, was
standing on the Allegheny Railroad
track, on the Basin, with his umbrella
raised, when that tremendous fash
came, was suddenly made aware of
the fact that the rain was pitilessly
pelting him. Looking upwards he
found that the point of bis umbrella
rad blue streak upon it, one of the
steel ribs was melted and the whole
top Of the rain protector burned.
Persons at distance who CHANGED to
be looking in that direction distinctly
saw the fash and were sure the gen.

quietly lower his wreck and scoot for

ToADs.-In the matter Of feeding,
the toad is not very particular, either
as to quality or quantity. Anything
that creeps or crawls will do for him
wood lice, beetles, spiders, slugs,
worms, even snails with shells, are
put out Of sight as if by magic, for be
has peculiar way of catching his
prey. He watct es the moving insect
for second or two; then suddenly
darting out his tongue at distance
of one or two inches, the insect is
snatched up and swallowed instantly.
One evening gentleman gave one a
wasp and humble bee. Both we're
snatched up directly, and they COM
menced to move, apparently without
causing the toad the slightest discom
fort, though they must have reached
his stomach in a tolerably active
state. Id plant houses, especially
forcing houses where insects increase
their numbers SO rapidly at all sea-
sons, the toad's services are especially
valuable; and if a suitable ladder,
made of narrow boards with bits of
lath tackled on it two inches apart, be
set in corner, slanting from the door
to the stage, he will climb it, and
thus be enabled to make himself still
more useful But perhaps the most
remarkable fact concerning the toad is
that though he can and does eat a
great deal, he can exist a long time
without eating anything. Years ago
a gentleman buried one for month

when dug up it was apparently as

A PROFESSIONAL VIEW OF IT
Yesterday afternoon two young medi-
oral students met in q saloon and fell
into conversation on the assassina-
ton.
~ am inclined to think the attend
ing physicians have Inexperienced

doctor ?" asked one.
II agree with you, DOCTOR" replied
the other "As soon as they discov-
cred that the bullet had penetrated
the laudable pus, they should have
made an effort to extract it. :"
"My idea exactly. If peritonitis
supervened, they could readily have
reduced it with borax gargle. Don't
you think they might have lowered
the peritoneal wall into the abdominal
cavity SO as to have reduced the
pressure on the liver, doctor ?"
"They might, doctor but wouldn't
that have produced lesion ?"
Certainly. But doctor, they could
then have turned the lesion over,
and in that way reduced the respira-
ton at the start"

leisure Yes, yes Did you get the
impression that any ligameuts were
cut by the bullet ?"
II think one of the anterior vessels
was severed, and the rush of blood
into the stomach is all that saved bis
life. Have you considered, doctor,
that the bullet may pass into the fem
oral artery and make the patient

"No, hardly think SO. IF these
physicians understood their business,
they'd tie the spinal cord around the
bullet and they can pull it out at any

Certainly not, doctor. thought
of one thing that would have worked

A VERY PATIENT OFFIcE-SEEK-
Erwin his grip-sack stuffed with
papers and letters setting forth his
claim to consideration, such as good
character, talent, oratorical ability,
campaign service rendered, etc., a
young Republican from West Vir-
ginia went out to Washington, in the
early days of the Administration.
Immediately upon his arrival he hied
himself to the State Department to
remind Mr.. Blaine that West Virgin
ia had been solid fer him in his Pres
idential contest, and now she wanted
to be remembered for it. The Score
tary promised the young man an au-
dience at future date. Days and
weeks passed, but the future date
promised seemed to have been forgot
ten.
Strong in patience, but poor in
pocket, the gallant young Republican
went to his home.
A few days ago he returned, and,
to use his own language, he proceed
ed to the Department to see what
prospect there was for getting his
grist ground.
he was ushered into the presence of
the private secretary, Mr.. Blains's
son, and the following interview took
place:
"Well, cir, what can l do for you
to-day.
You may tell your father l am
here and will advise him as to the
proper distribution Of good consular
appointments"
"My dear sir, permit me to say to
you in all kindness that the time Of
the Secretary is SO absorbed that he
is unable to see many of his most in
innate personal and political friends. ="
"You don't think he'll be disap-
pointed at not getting to see me ?"
II hope not sir"
Then the young man was politely
bowed to the door, but he hesitated
and returned and said
"Just one more request, Mr.. Pri-
vate Secretary. would like to take
my papers from the pigeohhole, dust
them of, and return them. They

A curious illustration of this ea4he
under my notice while staying with a
friend who was engaged in keeping the
canals in good repair. A man who had
persistently evaded his duties seemed
TO be pricked by his conscience, and
voluntarily cane to. him one Cay and
said that he was prepared to GO to work
on the canal, but that he could not do
so without being compelled. He had
never in his life worked on canal un-
til he had been beaten, and there was
apparently something repugnant to his
feelings in going to work UPON one,
even for pay, voluntarily; he therefore
requested that hundred blows OF the
katrbash should be administered to him
upon the sides of his feet. NV friend
reluctantly aceeded to his request,
thereby breaking the law. but the man
received the required stimulus without
groan, and went to his work in q
peaceful and eontented frame of mind,
as one who had relieved his conscience
of a heavy load. One could scarcely
