on Saturday evenine last, G. w. Noyes
introduced into the arena OF the Crescent
City circus, DE grand spectaeular scene,
entitled he Tournament The hum
dredswho thronged the pavilion looked
on in rapt admiration. There we're
knights, clad In amor that fairly daz-
zled the sight by It, glittering; standard
bearers in bright colored costumes, hold
Ing aloft banners Of royal magnihcence;
gladla,ors, in gllstenIng coats.of mail;
thorough steeds caparisoned in cloth
and goli-,ho whole forming a spectacle
indescribahly gorgeous and absorbing
giving % every beholder the enjoyment
OF a brief interval snatched from the era
OF chivalry. The games aud contests OF
the gallant knights; the hand 10 hand
and sword IT, sword conflicts Of the we'll
trained gladlators, encouraged 10 greater
fierceness by the applause OF presiding
royalty--were well conceived, aud. FOR
the first attempt, smoothly executed
We are quite sure, from what We have
all.ady seen, that the "rournamenr'
will prove a distinguishing feature Of the
Cgg.lept City circus, and one that will
command the admiration aud applause
Of tho people everywhere.
We but give voice to the universal
opinion In Cairo, when we declare that
the Crescent City circus, taken as whole,
stands unrivalled in the Mississippi val
ley. II has better leapers, riders, aero
bats and general gymnasts, funnier
clowns, and more complete properties
and pharaphernalia, than any combina'
ton OF the kind that ever visited Cairo.
This is quite sweeping assertion, but
| facts warrant II.

Rapidly of Thought in Dreaming

A very remarkable circumstances, and
an important point in analogy, is, says DIR.
Forbes Winslow. TO be found in the eS-
trcme rapidly with which the mental OPP
erations are performed. or rather with
which the mental changes on which the
ideas depend are excited in the Hemisphere
ical ganglia. 1t would appear rs If
whole series of acts, that would really oc-
cupy long lapse of time, pass ideally
through the mind in one instant. We
have in dreams no perception of the lapse
of time-a strange property of mind; for
IL such be its property when entered into
the eternal disembodied state; time will
appear to us eternity. The relation Of
space rs well rs of time are also annihi-
lated so that while almost an eternity is
compressed into moment, infinite space
is traversed more swiftly than by real
thought. There are numerous illustra-
tons of this principle on record. A gen
tleman dreamed that he dad enlisted as a
soldier, joined his regiment, deserted, was
apprehended, carried back, tried, con-
demned to be shot, and at last led out for
execution. After the usual preparations
n gun was fired; he awoke with the re-
port, and found that noise in the adjoin-
ing room had, at the same moment, pro-
duccd the dream and awakened him. A
friend Of DIR. Abercrombie dreamed that
he had crossed the Atlantic, aud spent
fortnight in America. In embarking on
his return, he fell into the sea, and awak-
ening in his fright, found that he had not
been asleep ten minutes.
