We visited this immense collection Ct show
material on Monday. and after witnessing
the entire performance, which was very well
execu ed by the respective lions of the various
parts, not excepting the "baby Elephant"
nor "his petit majesty" Gen. Tom Thumb,
we left the spacious pavilion perfectly sqtis.
fed. The managers of this renowned Men
sgerie, Messrs. Lent g. Cushing are inteli-
gent heightened gentlemen, and in considera.
ton of their superior qualifications for the
profession in which they are engaged, it is
much to be regretted that they have not a
better "stock in trade" to travel with. In our
admission that we were satisfied with the per.
Torrance, we do not mean TO be understood as
approving that portion, which may be with
infinite propriety styled humlug.
From the envable notoriety which Bar
mum has acquired as Snowman, and his Pc
culiar faculty to please the public even though
he humbugged them most egregiously, no
one could complain, seriously OF the show
who had not invested more than three dimes
Gen. Tom Thumbs performances, as well
as the General himself, was novelty to all
who had not seen either before; but once will
do for that.
Mr.. Nellis, the no armed man, was a sor,
of painful curiosity in his way; he perform
ed divers acts with his feet. which proveC
that mans pedal extremities could be made
very useful as in his case.
Seven Elephants, all in row, were the
next objects of interest, all of diminutiv'
size, and nothing attractive or novel abou
them except the unusual number.
The Wax Statuary, taken as whole. il
the most magnificent libel upon distinguishes
humanity, that art or want of art, ever inven
ted.
The spectator, who can read Is informed BY
the label upon each statue, whom it is inten
ded to mis-represent otherwise he would be a
loss to discover the least similitude betweei
wax statues and the distinguished men whom
they are designed to persouate-and whom
they most effectually buresque. We wisI
the gentlemanly managers great success
with their show, and as showmen believ,
they merit it, but We cannot forbear littl.
severity upon their ill selected statuary.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, TRIBUNE 90
YIncenne. and Salt Lake Railroad.

V1ucennes and Salt Lake AStlfoaus
A company of gentlemen from Vincennes,
with C. Y. Allen at their head, left here yes
terday morning on the Lady franklin for Pa
ducah, for the purpose of electing Directors
and organizing Company to build railroad
from Paducah to Vincennes. We have no
doubt but road would be of great service TO
everybody who wants to travel in that direc-
ton except the stockholders. The people OF
Vincennes don't appear to have any conn
dence in their own ability to make theproPos'
ed road, but say that Cincinnati is going TO
back 'em. The citizens and capitalists Of IA
ducah are an enterprising class OF peoples
and can see as far into futurity as the Rail
road prophets of Vincennes, and we imag-
inc it will be difficult to convince Paducah
that il would be for her interest to invest
largely in a road that proposes to make ter
minus some five miles below that point, con-
sequently diverting what little business it
may do from coming even in sight Of Paducah.
The road will be good enc if properly con-
etructed; it's no missionary Air Line,"it will
have great outlet at both ends providing it
has anything to let out. Wonder how the
stock ranges st Vinceanes inst now! At
last accounts, the Knox Insurance Co., (de-
funct) stock was I-ee-tLe ahead. We shall
wait patiently for Cabs next, for correct quo.

he collected, in Galena, Dubuque,

DEArH OF Col. JACK HAYs.-By the last
California arrival intelligence is brought of the
death Of Col. Jack Hays, known throughout
the Union as the gallant Texas Ranger. 1t is
stated that he was murdered by man named
Jones upon whom the community inflicted
summary punishment without awaiting the
tardy operation of the law.
Col. Hays was native of Sumner county
Tennessee; but removed when quite young to
Yazoo county, Mississippi, where he has a
numerous and highly respected train of con-
nexions. After remaining there few years,
he removed to Texas, and soon became dis.
tinguished for his skill and ga,lantry at the
head of an orga aized company of Rangers in
fighting aud overcoming the Indians. Many
incidents are related illustrative of his intrepid
nature. During the Mexican War. at the
head of his troop, he rendered signal service.
At the storming of Monterey, he led the van.
He followed the fortunes of Gen. Scott, from
Vera Cruz to the City Of Mexico, and was al
ways in the thickest of the fight.
Soon after the close OF the war, he took up
his abode in California, and was scarcely do
mlciled before he was elected Sheriff of San
Francisco, post of great peril and response
bility in the lawless state of society IN Cali
fornia, and one which he was peculiarly suited
for.
Col. Hays had a bright future before him.

we suppose, than IS years. He was singular

forays among the savage tribes could W hen in
