t. I. BARNUM-This man of world wide
renown, visited our City, last week, partly to
visit friends and relations, and partly on a
pleasure excursion. Among the wonderful
men OF the age, Barnum is one of the prom
lnent. For gigantic enterprises, and far
! reaching designs, he bears the palm. He de-
liyered Temperance address at the Boptist
church, on Friday evening last, to an over
flowing house, and was listened to. with at
tention and evident interest. On Saturday
evening, he addressed a large assembly in the
Park, on the same subject. Mr.. Banum
possesses happy tact for interesting and in
structing an audience. His arguments arc
logical, yet, to avoid the appearance of dry
ness, and to give pleasing variety, he inter
sperses his subject with lively and amusing
anecdotes.
We are gratifed tol learn from Mr.. Barnum
that he intends to spend few weeks in this
State, in the month of September next, when
he will advocate the cause of temperance, and
especially, the Maine Liquor Law. We con-
graduate the friends of the Maine Law, on
the prospect of such efficient aid, and we
doubt not, Mr.. B. will be greeted by over
whelming and approaching audiences in
whatever parts of the State he may choose to
extend his mission
The Clevcland Plaindea7er, of last week,
after noticing the recent visit of Mr.. Bamum
to that city, gives the following graphic de-
scription of his mastery enterprises:
"The man who gets up Buffalo hunts at
Hoboken, rms down the Sea Serpent, lassoes
a Sea Horse, brings down the crowned heads
of Europe to the homage of Tom. Thumb
imports Jenny Lind, and gets up the most
astonishing musical Juror, and brilliant series
of concerts ever the world beheld, sends men
to Ceylon, Elephant catching, and ships to
China, curiosity hunting, all the world at
his command, this man, of course is worth
as much to see as anything he has produced
in the way of wonders. The Worlds Fair
will be incomplete without him. His genius
his enterprise, and his daring make him the
Apollyon of all that is " worth seeing" in
this age of "strange exhibitions. " In per-
son, he is about five feet ten, we'll proportion
ell, n fine head, a keen black eye, restless as
his own ambition, perfect gentleman in his
manners, companionable, intelligent, Demo
crat in his feelings and principles, and altho'
millionaire himself, he is a most inveterato
hater of the self-Styed American monied ar
istocracy. In morals as in manners, lie is a
model man, and has dono more with his
wealth, his example, and his influence to adj
vance the cause Of temperance, than haIfthe
churches in the land. Although financial
operator on magnificent scale, making his
money by thousands, he is man of the most
minute practical details in business, and never
lets Il loose screw escape his observation.
What BARNUM's next grand move may be
the world of show is waiting anxiously to
know. He has the field to himself, and is
master of the profession. Itmay be to build
another Ark against the time when rainbows
shall be out of fashion, and gather together
all the beasts of the field, fowls of the air.
