WOMEN ACROBATS.

A Philadelphia paper contains a long advertisement
of an acrobatic performance by girls, which
outdoes even the horrors of London and Paris.
This entertainment is thus described :—" Lilla, a
charming blonde of about 18 years of age, first
swung off from the platform on the second tier, and
catching the trapeze with her feet, hung down with her
face towards the audience. The daring Zoe, amidst a
breathless silence, seized the rings, flew off, and turned a
complete summersault, finally catching the outstretched
hands of the pendant Lila. Shouts of applause greeted
this wonderful performance." The "daring Zoe," it may
be added, is about 12 years of age. The New York
papers, even the foremost, are in raptures with this new
phase of civilisation.

William Griffith, who lost both arms while firing
a salute in honour of General Grant some time ago, was
appointed, May 24, a watchman at the Treasury Depart-
ment at the request of the President. The memo from
the President, recommending his appointment, was as
fellows: —"Will7arn Griffith.—lf possible, I wish the Se-
cretary of the Treasury would give the bearer a watch-
man's place. 116 met with the misfortune from which. he
suffers, under my eyes, and I feel a sympathy for him.—
U. S. GRANT."

Assistant-Treasurer Van Dyck has forwarded his
resignation to Washington, so as to take effect on June 1.
Rumour says State Senator Folger, of Now York, is to be
his successor.

A telegram from St. Louis states :—" General
Wyndham, Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's forces
in British North America; 0. S. Stevenson, General
Freight Agent of the Grand Trunk Railway; and S. T.
Webster of Chicago, General Agent of the National Steam-
ship Company of Liverpool, are purchasing lands in Man-
hattan County, Kansas. An immense emigration from
Canada is going into Kansas, and great numbers of new-
comers are settling along the line of the Kansas Pacific
Railroad."

His Excellency Anson Burlingame arrived at the
Grosvenor Hotel, London, from Paris, last Tuesday. An
American paper says he administered the following rebuke
to some foreigners, who raised the question of rank :
" We receive all gentlemen as occupying a common level.
But if you raise the question of position, we outrank you.
You are nothing but dukes, marquises, and counts. we
belong to the royal family. We are the equals of our Pre-
sident. We aro all heir apparents to the throne. We
stand up for our order, and if need be, we fight for our
order."

Brevet Brigadier-General Badean has been placed
by order of the President on the list of retired officers of
long and faithful service, with full rank of captain. Seve-
ral of the clubs in London have elected him as an honorary
member since his arrival in the metropolis with Mr. Motley
as Assistant Secretary of Legation.
