1SatanxsA WlAieh iaoneof - 3nsnsk
monkeys of these forests. From their
miIHcFies, 4 etheught ztheces must be
at least half dozen together. was
indeed glad that had one barrel
loaded with big shot. II the .mohdis
were not too far of, would be able
to get fair shot, and kill one.
81 advanced very cautiously until
got quite near to them. could then
see their big bodies, long tails, and
long, jet-black, shining hair. What
handsome beasts they were! what q
nice-iooking muff their skins would
make l thought.
"Just as 1 was considering which of
them would fire at, l saw some big
thing, like huge shadow, suddenly
come down upon the tree. Then. /
heard the Tapping of heavy wings,
and also the death cry of a peer mon
di. Then l saw huge bird, with a
breast spotted somewhat like a leop-
ard, raise itself slowly into the air,
carrying the monkey in its powerful,
fnger-like talons. The claws of one
leg were fast in the upper part of the
neck of the monkey-so deepswer
they in the flesh they were completely
buried, and few drops of blood fell
upon the leaves below. The other
leg had its claws quite deep in the
back of the monkey. The left leg
was kept higher than the right, and /
could see that the great strength of
the bird was used at that time to keep
the neck and also the back of the
victim from moving. The bird rose
higher and higher, the monkeys tale
swayed to and fro, and then both dis
appeared. 1t was guanionicn. lis
prey was no doubt taken 10 some big
tree where it could be devoured.
1.-The natives say thai the first thing
the guaniOnen does is to take out the
eyes Of the monkeys they catch. But
there must be fearful struggle, for
these mondis are powerful beasts. and
do not die at the eagles will. There
must be great trial of strength; for
if the monkey is not seized at an exact
place on the neck, he can turn his
head, and he then inflicts fearful
bite ON the breast of the eagle, or on
his neck or leg, which disables his
most terrible enemy, and then, both
falling, meet th4r death.
81 looked on without. firing The
monkeys seemed paralyzed with fear
when the eagle came down Upon
them, and did, bot move until after
the bird ofApfey had taken one OF
their number, and then decamped.
When L looked for them they had fled
for parts unknown TO me in the for
est. / was looking so intently at the
eagle and its prey that for while l
had forgotten the mOndis. l do not
wonder at it, for monkeys l could see
often, but it is only once in a great
while that such a scene as witnessed
could be seen by man. 1t was
grand; and l wondered not that the
natives called the guanionen, the leo
pard of the air. AS l write these
lines, though several years have pass
cd away, see still before me that big,
powerful bird carrying its prey to
some unknown part of the forest"

F5repdugh's Mendgerie and CircuS.-What
the Louisville journal says of them:
The procession was grand and imposing in
appearance. Stretching out more than mile
in length, with its flags and banners flung to
the breeze, thirty elegantly omamented cages,
Il massive golden chariot, containing a full and
complete orchestra Old Romeo, and num-
her of dromedaries, small elephants, etc,
filed UP the line of the finest street parade in
the way of show material ever seen in Louis
vile. A large concOurse of people, more Than
usually attend exhibitions the first afternoon,
visited the tents, and at night such a crowd
has seldom, if ever, been seen under canvas
Many being unable 10 obtain admission into
the circus, contented themselves by spending
the evening in the menagerie department
The animals are placed in circle extending
around the entire tent, into which the visitors
first enters while the pathological depart
ment is contained in cages placed Directly IN
front of the circus entrance. The elephants,
etc, are grouped in the center. by the IN
terest taken in this part of the show we arrive
at the conclusion that the patrons would be
perfectly satisfied if they were deprived oil
seeing the circus altogether. Certain It Is that
no one ever saw so much before or such nns
collection of animals for the small investment
of fifty cents
The circus, given in seperate tent without
extra charge, IS far above the average class OF
arenic entertainments. The horses are fine
and well trained The members Of the com
pany are excellent performers, dressing in the
various characters with taste and neatness,
The clowns are witty, without being vulgai
"a great improvement. Altogether it is Q
circus worthy of imitation.
The whole establishment is fitted up like q
patlor with furniture, trappings, and every
Thing 10 correspond, and during their stay We
expect to see il visited by tho elite Of our city
The rules Of the establishment are perfect, ant
Mr. Forepaugh looks carefully 10 the comfor
Of his patrons. Such show as this has neve
before been among us, and when this leave
we probably shall not look upon its like again
We would suggest that families make aspe
cial effort to get out in the afternoon with thei
children-the animals show TO much bette
advantage
( With such an endorsement as this, comm
from one of the leading journals OF the coul
} try, and with what we already know Of NJ
