The funniest frog ever heard of is the
one in the aquarium and show window
at Mclick's saloon in Main street. We
have recorded the exploit Of his lrOgship
in swallowing two canary birds and an
attempt to put away a stuffed bird, but
his latest feat Of commanding was to
swallow young alligator n foot long,
which was one Of his aquatic compan-
ions. A few days ago some one outside
the window noticed that he was going
through some queer motions, and upon
closer inspection found that he had TAX
en- in the alligator only the end Of the
tail protruding from his mouth. War
rem Martin was notified, and after con-
siderable effort he was made to disgorge
his dainty repast The little "alley"
does not appear TO be any the worse for
his Jonah.hko experience, If the two
reptiles are left together there will come
time when the alligator will be able
to return the compliments but should
such an event occur, the frog may not
be returned as easy as the alligator was.

In Death They We're Not Divided,
Courier Journal


Two deaths occurred in this city yes
terday morning just forty minutes
apart. There would be nothing singu-
lar about this, however, had it not
been for singular coincidence CON
nected with them. The two persons
were Mrs. Catharine Moore, who died
at her home on Fifth street, near
Chestnut, at twenty minutes to eight
O'Clock and Miss Lucy Lakeman, who
died at her residence at Parklan Just
forty minutes later. The two had
been the most intimate friends for a
number Of years. They attended the
same church, and although the former
lady was nearly old enough to be the
latter's mother, they were seldom
seen on the streets except together.
So close was their friendship and love
for each other that they were often la
ken for mother and daughter. Now
comes the strange part of TIE story.
Both Of them were taken sick at nearly
the same time, and gradually sank in
spite of all efforts to save them. For
the past few days they had both been
so low that the families remained at
home, and there was no connection
between them, and no word was passed
from house TO house as to the condition
of either of the patients. About 8
o'clock yesterday morning Miss Lake
man, who had been lying in drowsy
stupor and gradually dying, reused,
and opening her eyes, beckoned her
mother TO her bedside and telling her
to lean over close, whispered: "Mrs.
Moore il dead and / am going too"
then closing her eyes she became I'M
conscious and died few minutes later.
Both were very estimable ladies,
widely and favcrably known in the
city. They will be buried by the same
funeral service from the cathedral and
their bodies will be laid side by side in
the cemetery.

Washington,s birthplace.

The governor has just secured the
title to Wakefield, in Wes.moreland
county, Va, the site Of Washington's
birthplace, an appropriation to pur-
chase which was passed by congress.
This is very gratifying to those who
hold that republics are not ungrateful
and are not eventually unmindful of
their unmindful of their noble dead.
OF course, until the contemplated
monumental building is erected, there
are those who can point unpleasantly
to the dilapidated tomb mt Wakefield
containing the remains of SO many OF
the Washington family, which mas
been allowed slowly to go to rot ana
ruin on the old Virginia estate; but
that will soon be put to rights even IL
u neglectful public has for nearly a
century left the family sepnlchre OF
the Washingtons to the mercy OF the
elements.
DR.. st. Clair, representing the state
department, has made some curious
discoveries at Wakefield, one OF which
Is that the chimney OF the house
pointed out TO inquiring tourists as All
that remained of the old home really
belonged to house of more recent
construction. As the original founua'
tions, however, have Low been dis-
covered, that is of no special conse-
quence to any one, except to General
Sherman and Ex-Secretary Evarts'
who will have to relaoel or take out OF
their mahogany cases the Wakefield
bricks they tenderly carried North at.
ter their late journey to the supposed
interesting spot.
