forming part Of the great Circus and school
Of Trained Animals, with which Dan hice
is making farewell tour of the United
States, attract much attention, ana create
almost furore in the religious communities
where they were exhibited. These beauh-
full and interesting animals are the only ones
of their species that ever visited the civilized
world. They are described rs possessing
finely formed limbs; white and velvety skins:
iawn-like eyes; and immense silky ears; and
differ also materially from their bovine cousins
of other countries, in having large pointed
hump situated on the back, between the
tOre-shoulders.
They are Gods in their own country, and
regarded with the utmost veneration and
tenderness by millions of worshippers Their
expectation is capital offence, and It was
only after years of effort, the exercise oil
patient ingenuity and the expenditure OF
fortune, that the ones under consideration
were secured. 1t not probable that another
attempt to import others will ever be made,
until the introduction of christianity mas
smooihed the way, and by that time much
of the interest which attaches to them now,
on account of their association with Pagan
ism, will have departed.

be exhibited, in combination with first

the month of May. From what we know
and what we have seen published in regard
TO this institution in other papers, we have
reason to expect seeing something worthy oil
patronage. ,,.-,,

tone OF which is very emphatic, and me

relative merits between Mr.. Forepaugh's and
other exhibitions it is not non our purpose 10
speak. One thing we can say, that Mena-
pcrie with 90 dens, filled with rare speci'
mems of animal nature, is much larger than
any brought here, and should command an
unusually brilliant patronage. MIR. Fore
paugh has had his position well defined
therefore we leave his pretensons and claims
in the hands of the public.
