OBR1EN's GRAND CARAVAN AND MONSTER MEN
AGER1R.-At the best this life is, to the large ma
jority of US. constant struggle to endure and
hard lesson to learn, aud were it not for occa-
sional relaxation to the burdened body and over
taxed mind, many more of us than do would
lose courage and faint by the wayside. 1t is for
this reason that we are firm believers in and ad-
socates of proper public amusements, and wher-
sevet we find one calculated on either hygeian or
psychot2gic principles, to benefit, and from which
Objectionable features have been eliminated, we
feelissA DUTY ;ss well an inclination to extend
lit a cordial support through our columns

1lis Its own bills by presenting every feature as
advertised. 1t will be borne in mind that it is
solely Menagerie; depending entirely upon en-
terprise and munifcent outlay in securing Ma
lures living wonders to attract and contemning
the vulgar jokes, indecent posturings improper
exposure and cruel compulsion which form the
hackneyed stock in trade of the pestlential score
or more of circuses perambulating and robbing
the land. We cannot pretend to individually
specify the vast collection gathered from desert,
mountain, plain, forest, jungle, river and the
upper air under the great o. Brien pavilion. but
among them the three elephants; the beautiful
and rare Eland and last, but not least, the mon.
strous Rhinoceros, recently captured on the banks
OF the mysterious upper Nile, will undeniab]y
challenge attention. No specimen of the las
named animal has ever been exhibited here, and
we believe no other living one is now in this
country. Ike enormous cost involved prevents
their importation, and great care and an init
mate knowledge of their habits is required to
preserve their lives in foreign chimes. The laugh
able and ludicrous arenic essays of the monkeys
mounted on ponies; the man in the dens of the
lions, tigers and leopards; the ride on the young
elephant and the entertaining lecture of Prot
Whitaker are special features that should be
borne in mind. The procession made by the
menagerle IN entering town will be by far the
most gorgeous and unique spectacle ever present.

fair to attract the population en- nsasse from the
adjacent country.

On Saturday last, the day on which the re-
mains of Gen. Robt. E. Lee were deposited in
their final resting place at Lexington, all the
business houses in Staunton were closed and
draped in mourning and the bells were tolled
during the hours fixed upon for the funeral obse-
quies. serious sadness peryaded our entire
community, all seeming to feel deeply the great
loss they, the State and nation had sustained in
the death of the great and good man who had
80 quietly passed from among US.
Large and imposing public meetings were held
at all points in the South and several places in
the Northern States, expressive of the general
sorrow, and many eulogies, both beautiful and
true, were passed upon the life and character of
Gen. Lee, some Of which we may take occasion
to publish in the future.
