A Revolution I'm tho Circus Busi.
ness

| or late years The hotel and stable bills oi
the showmen have run up 10 such enormous
| figures as to devour nearly all their receipts.
Ia order to overcome this enfsebling drain,
Mr.. J. NJ. French, of New Orleans, who
had TO take q circus in self.dpfense, and
run it in order 10 get back money which he
had loaned to the proprietors, last season
hit upon the expedieut of camping his men
and horses on the ground on which they
performed. This worked so well that Mr.
cally, and will this season run his show in
depsndently Of Ian dlords and stable keepers
altogether.
Mr.. French has had kitchen built, eight
feet wide, ten feet high and eighteen long,
with ell the modern improvements, which
is mounted on wheels, and in which cooking
can be done for one hundred men with
economy aud celerily. This kitchen will
be- big chow itself, and the performances
of tho cook and his assis.anto will bs apt to
divide the interest of the country house
wives with the performances under the
canvas. MIR. French has also devised uor.
table canvas stable for his Eorses, thirty. Eve
feet wide, eighty five feet long, and fifteen
feet high. Portable stalls, trouShs snd
other stable gear have also been provided
in abundance, and p.ovender has been en-
gagged ct convenient points, 80 that the
horses ef the concern may have all possible
equine comfort.
Other showmen eating wind of this new
improvement, have also gone into it; and
it now looks as though the country land
lords would be left unto themselves desolate
by those on whom they have heretofore
looked as lawful prey.

San Francisco wants o more abundant
supply of water, and seriously entertains 9
project for bringing it in pipes, seven feet
in diameter, from Lake Big'er. The length
OF the pipe would be one hundred and
twelve miles, and cost ten million dollars;
