SwINDLER.-Some years ago the daugh-
ter Of the we'll known colored grave-dc-
corator Edmond was sold to a party who
carried her to North Carolina. Since that
time Edmond has made every effort to
learn tidings of his loved one, but without
avail. 4 few weeks ago man dressed in
the uniform ola Federal soldier presented
himself to the old father and stated that
he was in the employ of the Danville Rail-
road Company, and that he had heard
from his daughter, in Raleigh, n. {. He
represented that she was deslrous to re-
turn to her family, but had not the means.
The simple, good hearted old man, over
ioyed at the prospect of seeing again the
daughter whom he had expected never
more to meet on earth, gave the fellow the
amount of money which he said was ne
cessary to defray her expenses, and with it
the rascal departed, promising that in q few
days father and child should be reiinited.
Day after day the patient, attectionate
old man has awaited the arrival of the
trains at the Danville depot, but each day
has he been disappointed. At last it oc'
CURED to him to ask for his good friend ;
when, to add to the bitterness OF his griei
and disappointment, he learned that nc
such man as he described was IN the ser
vice Of the company.

A BEAR LoosE-ExCITING SCENE.-Ies-
tcrday afternoon one of the bears belong
ing to Mike Lipman's show got loose in the
ring Just before the performance. He at
first evnced no signs Of anger, nor was ii
feared that he could not be managed. The
crowd, however, in the tent became very
much excited, and kicked up such row
that Bruin made rush and got out of the
tent. He was pursued by large crowd
of boys and freedmen, and at last caught
on Marshall street by means Of throwing a
plank over his back, and placing weight
enough on it to bear him down.
During the chase, Mr.. Townsend, the
keeper of the bear, was badly bitten in the
foot, and Mr.. Jones, one OF the attaches oI
the Circus, was bitten in the leg. A negrC
was well hugged, badly scared, but not
badly hurt.

THE OpERETTA.-The lady and gentle

The audience were more than pleased
they were really delighted. We have no
room this morning for an extended notice.
We will only say the characters of Amina,
Lisa, Elvino, and Count Rudolpho were as
well rendered as they could be by anna
teurs anywhere. The chorus, too, was
unexceptionablc; while the orchestra per.
formed its part as well as if Dietrich had
held the baton instead of Ericsson.

THE CIRCuS.-Yesterday ushered in q
bright clear April morning, and the rays
of old Sol cast cheerful glow over mother
earth, and all whom we met seemed glad
and happy. 1t was especially gala day
with the young folk, who for some days
past have thought of nothing but Mike
Lipmans circus. We had heard great
deal about this great show, and, like the
little ones, were desirous of witnessing its
many wonders. We accordingly placed
ourselves yesterday afternoon among the
many eager spectators, and are satisfied
with having seen circus of the olden
tmcS-"a bully circus with its span
gIed vaultcrs, its gaily, decorated riders ;
its agile tumblers, its spotted horses and
funny mules, and, above all, its amusing
clowns with their good jokes and witticiSms.
Mr.. Croucste, the clown par excellence, is a
genial mirth-proy0king gentleman, who
from his entrance into the circle throws his
audience into roars of laughter with his
antics and funny sayings, which make him
fayorite among the youngsters. The
good taste he uses in avoiding the use of
offending language or indelicatc speeches
makes the older folks his friends.
The leaping of the entire corps, under
the leadership of Messrs. Batcheldcr,
Croueste, Naylor, Watson, ETC., was among
the best vaulting we have ever seen in
the circle. Their amazing acts were
brought to a close by Mr.. Batchelder's
performing one of the most difficult teats
known to the professionalism of executing
double somersault. All were much
pleased with the comic feats OF Messrs.
Ashton and Winnie, while their daring
performances on the aerial trapeze proved
them artists of much merit. The horse
manshp of the English youth Watson is
wonderful and surprising. He throws a
backward somersault through balloon
while his horse is in full motion. Madame
Bridges is skilful equestricnne, and
throws herself, while on horseback, into
the most graceful and difficult attitudes.
Morgan is most fearless rider, and per-
forms his bareback feats wonderfully. The
pretty little Mile. Amelia has but few su-
pcriors in the arcnic circle. Her perform
ances on the tight-rope are really sur
prising. Donaldson, the reconstructed
Ethiopian, constitutes an attractive feature
in the show. In fact, we may speak of the
whole as "a show as is a SHOW" Rcmem-
Der to-day is the last of Mr.. Lipman's visit
to Richmond, and our readers will have
but two more chances to call on him-at
Z. NJ. this afternoon, and Z. NJ. thi.
evening.

Mr.. KErLEY's LECTURE.-Thc ladies
the "Dorcas Society" of Centenary
church were on Monday night tempted t.
feast of fat things most delightfully."- anc
deiciously served by that prince of lite
rary caterers the accomplished and ta
Tented A. NJ. Kelley, Esq, editor of the
Richmond Examiner.
The high reputation of the lecturer Sc.
| cured for him most attentive and appre-
| ciative audience, who sat enchanted and
enchained during the whole time occupied
by the speaker, and who seemed to have
but one regret, and that, that the feast was
so soon over.
The subject, ga Field Night in the House
of Commons eighty years ago." was one
admirably appropriate to the taste and
learning of the lecturer, and intensely in
teresting always to an American audience
The names Fox, Pitt, Burke, Sheridan
Dundas, are household words to the Ameri-
can people, and held in high esteem among
all people who lived in that Augustan age
of the English history.
Mr.. Kelley seems to hold in an eminent
degree the pen of ready writer. His
style, always attractive and graceful,
seemed on Monday evening actually to
glow and glitter with sparkles and flashes
of thought and beauty. Beautiful and
graceful in rhetoric, atlluent and tasteful
in language, profound and philosophic in
thought, Mr.. Kelley has the rich gift OF
the artist. His pen-and-ink sketches OF
the various notabilities of that wonderful
age, with their clear-cut and well-defined
delineations, brought before the minds eye
as distinctly as the limner's best pencil
could, the very portraiture of the living
dead.
There stood before you the aged Pitt,
making his last great speech, and then Pitt
the younger, Just twenty-three, beamng
and booming into prccocious reputation
never excelled by 80 young statesman
and stood there the fat, tickle, frolicking
Dundas, with his cherry -nosed, bloated
face, supple stlitor of every rising star
Sheridan, the infinite, if man ever was, in
all manner of accomplishment, stood un-
der the wOrd-paintiDg of the artist In the
very front before you; nor did he give
place till the orator, as with the wand o.
magic skill, swept this bright star away
and flooded the minds of his audience Will
the light of that bright particular star, the
Lord and Master of the English mind, th'
prosecutor of Warren Hastings. Edmund
Burke, the grand, the mighty, the un
cqualled, though the last mentioned, stood
the central star in that bright galaxy; and
where all was radiance and glory, Burke
yet shonc brightest Of them all.
We sympathize with those who failed to
hear this delightful lecture. We hope Mr.
Kelley may be induced to repeat it at al
early day.
