Il Tnx NATIONAL THEArHK--The circus at this es-
tablishment Is still pretty we attended and we are
glad to say, deservedly 90. The troupe Is excel
lent the performances chaste, amusing, and aston
ishiDg, and the riding Of Master and MadIle Madi-
gan, graceful and artistic. Go and see them
SrExEoscoPIo MKDALLIoSs.--Th Fair still con-
tnues to be crowded, and win continue to be till
"Wednesday, when the Fair closes In no part Of
the building is the crowd more dense than where
Mr.. Mascher exhibits his microscopic daguerreo-
type cases. BY looking through the lenses in these
cases, one sees the otherwise ordinary daguerreo-
types, raised out from the background, as though
breathing before him. Indeed, so great Is the lu-
sion produced, that lady on looking through the
lenses at the picture Of lady holding music notes
in her hand, gazed so intently that the gentleman
accompanying her. wished to know what r.vetted
her attention so. "Hushp said she, half reproach-
ingly " She was just going TO sing
These cases are not larger than the ordinary
daguerreotype case, and there is but triaing diff
ference iu the cost.
But, what draws the attention of the ladies' most
is the collection Of stereoscopic medallons which
Mr.. Mascher has on exhibition, for which he OBJ
tanned patent on the 10th Of January last. Some
of these medaions (of gold) are not quite as
large as ordinary sized watches, yet containing
pictures as large as the quarter sized case Ladies
may by this invention have the counterpart Of the
object Of their affection constantly by their side,
though the original may sometimes be truant. 1t
is really worth double the price Of admission to
anime Mr. Mascher's collection of pictures, among
which are some of the handsomest ladies' in the
Union for he has daguerreotypes from all parts Of
the United States. We understand Mr.. Mascher
is doing quite business with his stereoscopic cases.
OBsrRucTISG THE PAvEMESr.-An those who
have visited the Theatre for sometime past, have
been seriously annoyed by number of boys, who
frequent the stairs, and AJAX every out-goer for -
check !" which if not given them, they insult the
person by slang remarks and boisterous laughing
at any popularity they may discover in his dress
! or person.
Last night with determination to stop this
| practice, posse of police and guard, together
| made descent and captured eighteen of them,
whose ages vary from IL to Is years. They were
taken to the guard-house, and were generally
taken out by their parents, who paid their fines,
and to whom we hope this win act as lesson to
keep their children at home for the future.
