artistic we have ever witnessed not excepting Blon-
0ln. HIS performance is truly wonderful, and his
summe1saut on the rope from feet TO feet perfectly
electrifies the audience. His ascension on wire
from the extreme back OF the stage (which is one of
the deepest IN the States to the dome oIthe theatre
with boy on his back, IS miraculous, and must be
seen to be believed. Our readers must remember
that the above artist is only ten years of age, and

is II A COMING SToRM?-We hear of bank
failures and OF the suspension of commercial
houses occasionally, of late-the result, gene
rally, OF wild speculation and reckless ventures.
Yet these occasional occurrences have their
significance to careful and thoughtful observers
OF events. They appear TO be tie dull and
ominOus rumblings OF a distant thunder storm
that is gradually approaching, and that will by
and-by overshadow and startle us with terrific
shock. Let all business men-nay, all classes of
mer, put their houses in order Keep your
accounts snugly up. Avoid debt and uncertain
credits. Rein in your steeds of speculation.
Economic your resources wisely and prudently.
Prepare for the storm, so that when it does
come you will not be struck down and over
whelmed by it; and even if it should not come,
as we sincerely hope it will not, you will be bet
ter able to ride upon the waves of fortune, than
il it should come, you would be to Withstand the
dashing billows OF panic and misfortune. In
such time as this, let men see TO their standing
ground Chicago Journal.
