10 re Edii0r o. tas Rs0isisr;
DEAR SIR notice that after q shower
there are dozens Of small toads hopping
around. Do these toads come down in the
rainl III not, from what source 90 they
Gomez
/ have had several discussions on this
subject. and some think the toads fall IN
the rain, aad others that showers bring
them out Of holes. j. w. i.
Grafton, " Va, august 4.
Our correspondent should avoid dis
cusslng this subject. he should, also,
shun those persons who desire to discuss
It, as he would a man who saw the
Petersburg sea-serpent.
The question, whence come the toads
after a rain. ranks With that other pro-
blem, what becomes Of the mules?
More responsible witnesses have seen
toads and fishes fall from the clouds
than can swear they ever saw dead
mule. The explanation Of the latter
problem, generally accepted by students
Of human nature is, that mules do not
die, but are simply transmigrated.
This theory IS backed by the evidence
We have every day that the essential
qualities Of that animal exist in large
proportion Of the human family.
The rain-toad question, however, does
not admit Of so plausible an explanation
though, it goes a long ways to prove
the mule-transmigratlOn theory. Hence,
we dare only to venture our private
opinion that the increase in the number
Of toads after a warm rain, is due to
atmospheric moisture, which not only
acts as a sort Of a toad incubator, but is
tho special delight OF toad life, and is, in
fact, a sort OF toad jag.
Does our correspondent believe toad
would be an able bodied toad after he
had fallen a mile or so from the heavens?
THE Worlds Fair is doomed TO financial
failure sure and certain, nOtWithstand-
ing President HIGINBoTHAM's claim
that the attendance for the next three
months will even things up and pull the
Fair out Of the financial soup. Mr..
HIGINBOrHAM is over-sanguine. Still
il matters very little, for Chicago will
come out way ahead on her investment
and she deserves to, for the equal OF the
White City will probably never be seen
again by any one now living. The
stockholders Of the Exposition Company
may come out behind, but in their ca
pacity as business men Of Chicago they
are already we'll repaid for their IN
stinted effort to make the Worlds Fair
the greatest show on earth. The Fair
Is a grand success, anyway, and so is
Chicago.

HIS WIFE INTO THE FIRE,
Fiendish Act of a Drunken
Farmer Near Milford,
Conn.

MILFORD. Conn.,, Nov. 30.-A hor.
rible discovery was made to-day in a
arm house xix miles above here by
the neighbOrs of Michael Hennessv,
an old farmer who has long been
known as quarrelsome fellow.
For over week neither Hennessy
nor his wife have been seen about the
farm. The bleating If the cattle in
the barn annoyed the neighbors 50
much that this morning they visited
the place and investigated.
They found Mrs. Hennessey un.
conscious. without any clothing and
her body a mass of burns, the flesh in
many places being rolled up on her
body. Her husband was lying on the
floor, stupid from drink.
Mrs. Hennessy, as well as she
could, told the neighbors her husband
Il week ago last Wednesday, while
drunk, took hold of her and dragged
her to the open fireplace and pushed
her in over the blazing logs, setting
her clothes afire.
He looked on tine scene with great
delight while she burned, and laughed
at her agony. He refused to call in
medical aid afterward, and the woman
has sIfiered untold pain.
