Perhaps This Was Virgins Theory.

Reading in the Journal the announce
ment by Virgins that g he would pub
lish to the world the theory on which he
based his prognostications, y it remind
ed me of an instance which happened
in Vermont in 1887, in which a bio.
storm was predicted, and the "theory
on which the representations were
based" Judge Buckley resided in Ber-
lin, just across the river from Mont
pelier. One member of the Judge
family was son named Frank, a half
witted fellow, queer in many ways. In
the summer of 1887 some friends from
York State came to visit the Judge, and
after a stop of few days started on
Saturday morning on their way home,
intending to stop over Sunday with
friends a few miles down the river
Frank heard their plans talked over,
and then said: "You had better not
start; there is going to be big storm
that will carry all the bridges away,
and you will have to come back"
The sky being cloudless the gentlemen
laughed at Frank and drove off. In the
afternoon the storm began and all that
Frank had predicted came true. One
of the gentlemen's curiosity was so ex-
cited that he returned after the storm
to learn from Frank, if possible, how he
knew there was to be such storm
After much coaxing Frank promised if
he would come out with him he would
tell.
Going out a few rods from the house
so view could be had, Frank, in his
drawing way, said: "You see that
balsam tree down in that swampy
hole?'
The man said he did.
"Well,a said Frank, ''when you see
that old yaller COW stand licking her
tail round that balsam tree you may
know there is going to be storm. y

Have no secrets from your wife. A
New London man, hoping to- teach his
wood-thieving neighbor alesson, loaded
stick with an effective charge of pow
Ger, left it on the wood pile, and the
next mornings breakfast was preceded
by crash of thunder sound in the
kitchen and a general distribution of
stove and provisions over the contigu-
Gus territory. The New London man
had not told his wife of the lesson he
had prepared for his neighbor, but she
found it out herself, the sequel showing
that women will finally discover every
thing somehow or other.-NeU Haven

SAD REALIZATION OF A MOTHERS
DREAM.-The cook at G. M. Studebak-
er's residence, who has a husband and
two children living in Canada, dreamed
the other night that she saw her little
girl dead and incofined for the grave.
The dream made an impression on her
mind that she could not drive away. and
Friday its sad forebodings were made real
by telegram received by the mother
stating that her little girl had died of
scarlet fever, and the other child was
sick with the disease and not expected to
live. The news came with such a shock
as to completely unnerve the poor woman,
and she was scarcely able to travel. but
left on the noon train Friday for Canada.

GOV. WASHBURN'S ESTATE

MINNEAaoLIs, April 19.-The petition
aor the distribution Of the estate of the
late G. G. Washburn is being argued be-
fore Judge LELAND, and the case promis-
es to be draw1 out to a great length and
to be involved ia great complexity. The
attorneys for the guardian of the widow
are Ex-Gov. c, K Davis, attorney Cen
eral w. L. Ham and q. w. Bum, of
La Crosse, Wis For the executors they
are j. B. Gilillan, w. 2. Lynde, of
Milwaukee, andCharles P. Biddle. The
case appears to be about this: Gov. G. C.
Washbum died, leaving a will, in which
he madea provision for his wife, who is
now, as tT many years past, hopelessty
insane. He Also left real and personal
propertyof great value in the states of

that the widow cannot take this share
