These extraordinary people ha;•e created the greatest sensation
both in Paris and London,—Vide The Times.

We had thought physical phenomena had gene ro its utmost
extent the perversion of the h ima,n frame, but a troupe of
ten Arabs which appeared last night at this theatre, seem to prove
that bottle contortion- are as inexhaustible as any mental Combina-
tions. A patriarch with his family seems to think it his duty to bear
ail he offspring on his shoulders; and they twine round him with a-
physical tenacity that re, resents an extraordinary ainoant of family
attachment. The light, buoyant, we might almost say the natural,
manner in which thin troupe do anything but stand on the so'es of
the feet Is certainly wonderml, and was very delightful to the
audience. Their summersaults over groups sf men, their
vaulting, their human wheels, their piles of human
beings. seven being ciustered together in one human !ie.:es-
te!, mu•it be seen to be admired, and cannot be 6o without being
applaa..e I. I i fiuc, the-e ISt.,onju Arabs are lithe in limb, and
lithesome in body, and we ma 7 say a.naturainess of contortion that
would s:em to prove that, to be guadrupedal, to turn circular rolling 4,
to stand on heads, and to Om •ter like bees together, is rather the
nature of man than to go sob,riy on his two feet. The whole matter
is very extraordinary, and welt worth seeing,—Times, Nov. 28, 1856,

Triumphant success of MADA CIE CARIOT, universally acknow-
