Scores of largo and Shiny looking green
"bull frogs" hoped about the park fronting
the Center market, and among the weeping
willow trees that line the artificial lake in
that Enclosure last Saturday and yesterday.
1t was n grand exodus of frogs from the little
lake. which had been drained the day before
by order of the authorities Many of tho
green. coated creatures were killed by enter
prising boys, and sold to the city restau-
rants, to DO served up nicely fried or
broiled on slices of tempting toast. Some of
them succeeded in escaping to the shades of
the park shrubbery, where they complained
bitterly of their treatment in deep bassi pro.
fund.- voices. The lake will DO cleaned out
and reflled with fresh water Until that
time the frogs will have to keep company
with tho troops Of rats ana mice from the
market house that infest the park.
A story was in circulation yesterday that
the pond was drained because the deep toned,
sonorous voices of the frogs disturbed the
SAUNDERS of tho guests in the neighboring
hotels during the small hours of the morning,
when the streets are as quiet as q graveyard.
Among those who complained Of the early
morning concerts was southern congress-
man, who declared that it was "a shame to
allow frog puddle to exist right in the
center of Washington, with its hundreds Of
Shiny and loud voiced reptiles" .a

COLUMBIA ROUND.
Getting Even with Canned Lobster.

We are pleased to be able to announce that
an eastern firm owning nineteen lobster fac
cries has failed, and we prayertully trust
that it may continue to fail. We have in
younger and less wiser days partaken of tho
canned lobster after the dewy window shades
and things Of night had fallen, and we dis
tinctly remem Der after retiring on load of
this lcathery material that before morning
we fell down the crater of Mount Vesuvius,
were hurled from various precipices aud
encountered lions, from which our paralyzed
legs were unable to flee. We have, after one
can of ported long-tailod crustacean, been
knocked down in bed by three pugilists ut
time, hauled round by the ear and kicked
in the stomach We have even dreamed that
we were chased by tom cat and detected
in writing paragraph as vulgar as an OK
change item All this and moro will o lob
stor do for those who put their trust in them.
Long may lobster factories continue to fail,
Their insolvency is our gain, and their per-
petual bankruptcy blessing which every
man over n years of age should pray for.

Barnum's Whole Menagerio Passes Over
to Brooklyn.
The first installment of Barnum's circus,
including Jumbo, tho white elephant, the
ammonia-washed elephant, eighteen other
elephants, seventeen camels, three horses, six
dogs, and Tody Hamilton on gray charger,
boarded the Pennsylvania ferry boat New
Jersey, in Jersey City, at $3.50 o'clock Satur-
day night. Twenty minutes later an excited
crowd of 1000 men, women, and boys re-
ceived them OF Broadway and Cortland street,
aud escorted them through Park row to the
entrance of tho south driveway of the
Brooklyn bridge.
Collector Wander Bosch charged thirty cents
for the men and horses, and passed tho
menagerie free. Many people followed tho
animals over the bridge in anticipation Of
some trouble, but none occurred.
The crowd at tho bridge was kept within
bounds by tho circulation of report in ad-
vance that the elephants would cross Fulton
ferry. Fulton street was lined from Broad
way to the ferry house at $3.50.
A man, who did not give his name, showed
broken watch chain to bridge policeman,
and said that very valuable gold watch had
been snatched off tho end of the chain when
the crowd was thickest around tho animals.

An Old Mnn,s DARLING.


A very curious marriage occurred at Boy
kin, S. c., recently. Miss Constance Boil,
~ years old, was Joined in holy wedlock to
DIR, Jasper Benson, so years old. The two
had known each other only two weeks. The
old gentleman was sick at Mr.. Bells house,
and Constance came home on visit from
boarding school. She nursed DR.. Benson
through short but severe spell Of sickness,
and as soon as he got we'll enough to walk out
the two went off together and were married.
DR.. Benson Is said to be very wealthy, own
ing two large orange groves in Florida. To
the land of flowers the strangely matched
couple have gone to spend he'honeymoon.
The remarkable alliance is the talk of tho
neiRhborhood. Curiously enough the girls
parents are wholly reconciled to the match.
Dr. Bonsons family for several generations
back have been noted for longevity. His
grandmother lived to the age OF l02 aud his
own father to the age Of 1913 years. He in-
sists that he ia good for twenty more years.
