a Circus in a Tempest.

A circus exhibited at Dubuque, Iowa, one
levening last week to about seven hundred
people. All went well till O'Clock, when
one of the richest performances ever witness
ed commenced. The local paper describes
it as follows
cat this hour one Of the fercest rain
storms that ever wet the earth since the del
luge began. In two minutes The canvas was
saturated, and the rain poured as freely up
on those inside the tent as it did upon the
stones in the streets. The water rushed
down the street cutters in torrents, and
poured upon the low ground occupied by
the circus like flood. In five minutes there
were six inches of water covering the earth
there. People thought such a shower would
spend itself, and waited for it to stop
| In fifteen minutes there was at least two
feet of water on the premises. Then the la
dies present thought it best to start for
home. And such a start Talk about the
Black Crook And tumbling! This is the
way they did it. A gentleman would take
a lady in his arms and start for the door,
This couple would collide with other coup
les down would fair one and stern one
go in the water, amidst screams of the
drowning ones and yells of laughter from
spectators. The luckless fallen ones would
arise as black with mud and water stirred
in black muck could make them And as
to skirts nobody seemed to care whether
skirts were gathered as high as their waists
or thrown over their heads
| The ladies deliberately took off their shoes
and stockings and gathering their gar
ments high, started for land. They waded
and stumbled towards the door, and the way
the cheers went up from the crowd was
stunning; they drowned the loud thunder.
AT one time there was such mixture of
! tumble down in the water that it was hard
to tell who were women and who were men
save by ain occasional bearded face that APP
peared above the floating calico. Nobody
seemed mad-everyb laughed until his
or her sides ached.
The circus performers added interest to
the scene. Just after the rain commenced
they appeared and began ground and lofty
tumbling. The first one landed in mud
puddle and fell. With loud cheers the others
| followed suit. In less time than we are tax
ing to tell this the water filled the ring But
the actors heeded it not. They turned hand
springs, souersaults made cart wheels and
walked on their hands, or attempted to, in
the little lake. till their spangled tunics, their
flesh eolored tights and their hands and ia
ces were ali of one coor-a dirty black. At
each exercise the crowd cheered and the
performers roared.
Amid such sights as these the crowd made
their way through mud and water to the
sidewalks west of Iowa street, better salts
fed with their moneys worth than any cir
Gus crowd ever was before"

Seeino the snn at Midnight.

In July 1857, j II. Campbell, United
States Minister to Norway, with party OF
American gentlemen, went far enough North
to see the Sun at midnight. 1t was SO de-
g,ees North Latitude, aud they assembled a
cliff one thousand feet high above the Arc
tic Sea. The scene is thus graphically de.
scribed.
cit was late but still sunlight.-The Arc.
tic Ocean stretched away in silent vastness
at our feet; the sound of its waves scarcely
reached our airy lookout; away i'll the North
the huge old Sun swung low along the horl
zon, like the slow beat beat of the pendu
lum in the clock in our grandfathers par
lor corner. We all stood silent, looking al
our watches, When both hands came to
gether at Il, midnight, the full round ORR
hung triumphantIy above the waves-s
bridge of gold running due north spanne(
the waters between us and him. There h'
shone in silent majesty which knew M
setting. We Unfortunately took off our hats
no word was said. Combine,if you can, th'
most brilliant sunset and sunrise you eve
saw, and its beauties will pale before the gor
geous coloripg which now lit OPP the ocean
heaven and mountain, In half an hour tn
sun had swung up perceptibly on its beat
the colors changed to those Of morning,
fresh breeze rippled over the ford, ope song
ster after another piped up in the grove be
hind us-We had slid into another day.

How a. Small Lawsuit Grew

Mr.. A. v Stout told good law story
that is, good for the awyers-on the Long
Branch boat last Tuesday. Mr. Nehemiah
Perry, ex-member of Congress, of Newark,
went past Mr.. Stout and his group. "Who
is that cried QUE That" says Mr.. Stout
sis Mr.. Perry, who sued A. V. Stout & Co.
for thirty seven dollars, some twenty five
years ago. We defended the suit took it
up, up, until we paid the lawyers twelve
hundred dollars expenses Mr. Perry con-
tinued Mr.. Stout, ''calIed on Inc one day,
and asked what expense we were at, and !
told him. He said that was about his
amount, too, Suppose says MIR. Perry we
| pay between us the outstanding expenses.
| agreed, said Mr.. Stout and the law
yers' books and the court books were writ
ten up, and the parties paid-expenses six
hundred dollars each, making eighteen hun
dred dollars expense to the man that claim
ed the thirty seven dollars, and as much
for the man that refused to pay. The thing
was closed, the original amount in dispute
not being even mentioned.

Rules for the Gaiddace of M life. 1904
Remember always that labor is one of the
conditions of our existence. Time is cold
throw not one minute away, but place each
one to account, Do unto all men as YOU
would be done by. Never put off till to-
morrow what can be done to-day. Never
bid another do what you eau do yourself.
Never covet what is not your own. Never
think of any matter so trihing as not to de-
serve no, 90. Never give out that which
does not trst come in. Never spend but to
produce. Let the greatest order regulate
the transactions of your life. Study in your
course of life to do the greatest amount OF
good. sea- f ~gEHhAf
Deprive yourself of nothing necessary for
your comfort, but live in an honorable sim
pllclty. Labor then to the last moment of
your existence. Pursue strictly the above
rules and the Divine blessing and riches of
every kind will flow upon Won to vour
hearts content; but first of all remember
that the chief study of our life should be to
tend by all means in our power, to the hon
or and glory OF our Divine Creator.
The conclusion to which | have arrived
is, that without temperance there is no
health; without virtue, no order: without
religion, no happiness; and that the aim of
our being is to live wisely, soberlv and
righteously.

A Hint for Public Speakers.

John Bright who, when he speaks, usu-
ally writes out on card three or four OF
the principal branches Of his subject, and
walks about the room for little while fit
ting them to their proper order, says, 'sThere
is one thing always prepare, and that is
the end of my speech. Before get up to
TO speak always knew how am going to
leave off, and that is half the art. Many a
decent speaker has spoken well for time
but cannot while speaking hit upon few
good sentences with which to stop, and at
last makes a mess of it and leaves all IN
favorable impression.
