TIE jars" Have you seen the Japs?''
is the word on the streets to-day. After
witnessing last nights performance we
have concluded to have ourselt Japanned
on both sides and go into the Little All
Right" business. We agree with Gris.,'
it's all in the fan. They couldn't do it
without the fan. We have torn up quire
of paper in our frantic efforts to do the but
terfiy trick. We have made the butter fly
in other days, when hot buckwheat cakes
were in order. We thought we might try
it turn or two in the half beer tub the
little Japanned fellow performs in, but fear
it might make our head swim. Half tub
of beer would, why not half beer tub?
We like the old fellow who slings so much
chin. His way of talking English suits
US. 1t is original. 1t is funny. The Eng
lish language is very funny when it's prop
erly Japanned. The idea of calling box
" bockus" is certainly original. Original
ity suits us. We don't like their style of
clothing. 1t needs only setting off with
a set of fashionable hoops to render it ex-
ceedingly difficult to tell men from women.
This might be productive of unpleasant re-
suits. What man would like to pour his
tale of love into the ear OF what appeared
to be a female Japan, and learn when he saw
him commit hari kari that it was the loved
ones big brother? What lady would like
to tell all her little secrets to one she sup
posed to be her waiting maid, and find out
afterwards that it was he Japan? A
change of garb is necessary to prevent
mistakes.
This afternoon they give matinee for
the benefit of the ladies and little folks.
We say go, all of you. Take your children.
Let them learn what they can of the man
ners, language, dress and habits of this
singular people. Let the little ones seek
to find out why it is the japanese scatter
salt over the stage before attempting any
extraordinary teat. Maybe its done to savs
them.
There was an immense house last night,
and some of the most wonderful things
done the mind of man ever conceived OF.
The immense strength of some of them,
and the daring of little sAll Right" "astonish
their STAY with US. They go hence to
Pittsburgh. We recommend them and
their tgentlemanly manager, j. w. Wilder,

! NEW YORK CIRCUs-The high reputa-
ton of this establishment, which is to ex-
hibit here on Wednesday next, cannot fail
to stimulate public curiosity to an unusual
degree, and already good deal of interest
appears to be manifested in regard to its
advent. Located permanently in the city
of New York, during nine months of the
year, where it ranks as one of the most
fashionable as well as popular places of
amusement, tits reasonable to suppose that
the company, to maintain the position
which it has acquired, must be one OF un-
usual excellence in every department.
That such is the case, we have the testi-
mony of the most severely critical journals
of New York, and the press generally in
every city in which the troupe has appear
ed since commencing its present tour.
Among the artists comprised in Mr.. Lent's
extensive corps are some of the most cele-
brated riders, clowns and acrobats in the
world, and all the entertainments are dis
tinguished as much for elegance ard refine
ment as for high artistic merit. The N. Y.
Express says: fa
ut is but just to say that the perform
ances given by this troupe during the past
season have been of the most satisfactory
character in every respect, while the gen.
eral management of the establishment has
been such as to command the appreciation
and support OF the best class of the cum.
munity. Many of our most distinguished
families are among the regular patrons OF
| the New York Circus. and the Wednesday
and Saturday matinees will be regretfully
remembered by thousands of bright eyed
/. little ones, who have enjoyed, as only chill.
. dren can enjoy. the feats of the daring
riders and acrobats, and the comicalitiei
of the clowns"
