CRcusEs.-In common with the rest of cur
countrymen we have some interest in the shows
and circuses that continually travel through the
country, delighting not only the boys and girls,
hut even attracting the more sedate and intelli-
gent classes, and we have that amount of knowl-
edge concerning them that is enjoyed by others
who, with us, have gazed at their feats and per-
formances. We were not, however, until re-
Gently, aware that there is an annual congress
and parliament of circus managers, at which
routes Of travel, time and places of exhibition
are marked out and allotted to each concern
such il nevertheless the case, and it shows how
quietly and easily matters are arranged and
great interests controlled when left to care for
themselves. Business of infinitely less moment
and much slighter Importance has often occu-
ped the attention of our wise legislators for
months at time.
There are at present twenty two travelling
circuses in the country, employing n great
amount of capital and great numbers of men aud
horses. They start out each season from their
places of hybernation, and delight and stir nm
the small towns and villages with their big bills,
triumphal professions and marvellous perform.
ances' Some of them almost rival the splendor
ana extent Of the ancient times when the crcps
was what the theatre now is. Franconi's in
NeWYork, probably eclipses anything that ever
delighted the Roman Emperors and amused tbe
Roman citizens

TIE New BAsIN.--We see that the Council
have referred the matter Of bridge over thu
New Basin to o committee. The necessity O
such reference is a puzzle to us. Thepreviou:
Council, upon a plain opinion of distinguished
lawyer, late City Attorney, that the company
controlling the New Basin was compelled to con-
struct or permit the construction of such a
bridge, at St. Paul street, ordered its construc-
ton ct that point. This should certainly have
settled the point. But further, in pursuance of
the order Of the Council, bridge has been ac-
tually constructed, and now lies rotting in a
yard This seems to us queerly indecisive legis-
1ation

LATER FROM HAVANA.
Arrival of the Black Warrior

MOBILE, June z, 1:30, P. M
The stea mship Black Warrior has arrived
here, having left Havana on the 3lst ult The
city at that time was perfectly quiet, and nc
news of any consequence was stirring.
A private letter dated Havana, May 80, states
that there had been some excitement in the city,
caused by an attempted emeute among the
scholars belonging to the different schools.
1t appears that the Captain General had
severely reprimanded some of the Professors and
masters of these schools, charging them with
having inculcated in the minds of the youth
under their charge, opinions entirely too liberal,
and he expressed determination to suppress
any thing having a tendency to the diffusion Of
liberal sentiments. This, very naturally, gave
great offence to the parties concerned, and they
made an effort to get up an Indignation meet
ing, but they were soon put down by the author
tiles.

LATE AND INTERESTING FROM CENTRAL. HER-
IcA.--We have adyices from Costa RIGA 10 tho
= tn inst. Juan Raphael Mora, the President.
in his message to the Congress of Costa Rica,
says the country is prosperous, enjoys peace,
anu maintains Its credit among foreign nations.
The Port of Punta Arenas, he SAYS, has an i'm
portanee now on the map it never had before
steamer contract with rich United States
capitalist, to touch there, aggrandizes it, lie
congratulates Costa Rica that il is at peace with
all other States. The old spirit Of dividing anil
subdiyiding the Central American States, he
hopes, is gone, and he urges union among them
France is negotiating for n reduction Of duties
on coffee, England and the United States have
offered their mediation with Nicaragua, as to
boundaries. The Washington cabinet came
handsomely to the aid of Costa Riea in defend
ing her from the attacks of obscure agents
Negotiations are going on with the Holy See,
also with Austria, Tuscany and Sardinia
With Peru, there is particularly good under
standing. With New Grenada, boundary diff.
culties and dangers are impending, a happy set
Element of which is hoped for.
We have also later adyiees from San Saliva
dor, which declines making any further efforts
to restore the Central American confederacy-
from Honduras, which has laid an extraord;
nary tax TO provide means of war in case the
boundary troubles with Guatemala are not
amieably settled, Of which there are now some
from Nicaragua, the Chambers

Humbly and reverenlly said over the words
Of the holy prayer she had taught me, heart
and eyes upIifted TO Heaven. The hour and
the power OF darkness had passed ] was
no longer standing in slippery places, with
q flood of water ready to sweep me to de-

mothers pious care saved her son. In the
holy words she taught her child to repeat
his evening prayer, how little dreamed she
ths, the holy words were to reach stFan-
GERS cars, and save him, through memories
OF his own childhood, and his own mother
And yet It was so. What a power there ls
in Gods Word, as i, flows into and rests IN
the minds Of innocent childrenm
Tears were in the eyes Of the wife and
mother, as she lifted her face and gazed with
a subdued tenderness upon the counlenance
Of her husband. Her heart was too full for
ulerance. A ll,le while she thus gazed.
and then, with trembling joy, laid her head
upon his bosom Angels were in the cham

Misunderstanding out by the juno
ton of the canal and feeder day or two
since, we came upon half intoxicated in
divdual leaning against, the fence and deep
ly engaged in philosophical examination
of bearings and affini,ies. He was talking
aloud 10 himself, and thus he spoke: Y es,
said he, there's that Canal-most people
think its nothing but big dilchL for boats
to go trrougu wnen they're afraid 10 60 TO
sea. Such folks is fools-they can't see no
deeper into things than they can into the
muddy water Of that big ditch. The Canal
is great preachet-i. talks every day, and
it tells the truth every time it speaks. 1t
teaches great moral leSson-but folks are
so deaf they won't hear-they're so cussed
blind they can't see. Now I'll chip shad
and 60 herring better, that nobody thinks
tba. Canal is fair sample of the rich aris-
locrats of this country. Bat it is and
know it. Don't i, move along lazy, just
like they do-don'! i, keep full, just like
they do-and dom. it take heap to keep
it full just the same as it does them? And
VIVA! keeps i. full why, the river, the pro-
perty of the people, which God gave to
every ybody to fish in, to 60 stone-h hacking
in, to ride on, whenever they want to.
Blu. that Canal drinks up the river just tie
same ss the rich man takes every other
right of the poor man. 1t takes that water
TO fill up its banks, just the same as the rich
always manage to take everything the poor
man earns to swell ou. their big purses.
And the Canal takes that water legally too,
Just the same as the poor mans money is
taken legally every day. 1t leaves some
water in The river to make the folks believe
that the river is there yet, just as the rich
leave the poor man some lil'le Of his earn
ings to make him believe he is not so bad
off as he might be. Oh, ,ha. Canal is a
great thlng-now do like to hear it talk
It's the only thing left in the world tina! tells
the truth But folks don't hear il and they
wouldn't believe what it says, If they did
cause vy-cause they're afraid.
