A rather damp entertainment was that
given lately at Kansas City, Mo. A local
paper describes it 4S&0 i 1888
''The square was thronged with people
from the adjoining country, who were in
town to see Roblnson's circus. The rain
suddenly 5egan to pour down in torrents
Down went the gaily-painted signs of rep
tiles and wonderful no-armed and no-legged
men down came the rain in food down
came the huge circus tent, and down poured
the floods of water. The crowd Inside the
circus remained in the shower bath until the
ropes were loosened and the canvass began
to sink to the centre OF the ring. At this
sight they took q panic, and out they rushed
pell NELL into the flooded square. The
horses were hurried out of the circus, and
general stampede made for shelter. The
water by this time was nearly knee-deep on
the street. The corner of Fifth and Main
waist-deep, having the appearance of a lake.
The basement under Lockridge Hall was
soon flooded with water, chairs, tables and
beer kegs floating on a level with the top of
the counter. The rain ceased about as sud-
denly as st began, and now the crowd made
rush back to the circus. All were admit
ted, pay or no pay, check or no checks. The
ring was ankle deep in water, and the crowd
were as wet as water could make them. In
about twenty minutes the band struck up
and there were attemps made to renew the
performance, but under very disadvantages
GUS circumstances"
A New Orleans jury, unable to arrive at
unanimity in their opinions, is said to have
substituted chance for justice. The case was
Clay q. Blandn, for the Office of State Tax
Collectorship of the Third District. Eleven
of them favored Blandln-one of the eleven
q colored citizen, declaring that he would sit
there till his hair turned white before he
would find for Clay. But Clay's sole sup
porter was equally immovablc. At lengthit
was conceded by the latter that game of
"seven up" between him and Blandin man
if it went against the Blaadin man, should
secure three more votes tor Clay; but if he,
the Clay man, lost it, he would yield his
opinion to that of the eleven. Cards were
sent for, the game was watched with intense
interest, and when it was announced that
the Blandin eleven won, yell of triumph
went up from their judicial throats that
shook the Court House and astonished. tbe
waiting Court.
An amusing scene occurred tho other day
at the citadel of Dover, England. The One
Hundred and Second regiment have d very
fine tiger just come to the country with the
is daily taken for walk, and he also goes
around the mess table getting tit.bits. The
other day his keeper got the worse for drink,
and made his way to the den fearing detec-
ton. An officer. seeing the man asleep, and
the tiger sitting by him, sent for the picket,
VINO AT any DINER time can do what they
please with the beast. The moment they at
tempted to go near the kee per the tiger
growled, and very soon let them see they
must keep off. For two hours the tiger Kept
watch oVer his keeper, who, on awakening
was surprised to see no one dared come near
his charge.
In many parts Of London the plan is
adopted Of placing a card with the letter D
on it in the windows of houses where the SER
vices OF the dustman are required, but it is
little attended TO. One of the great dust
contractors was lately told Of the inatteption
of his men, and answered that his foreman
strongly impressed on his men the necessity
for attending to the signai Butt he added,
"we know how it is the men don't know
one letter ffom another" He was asked,
why don't you teach them their letters 20
and replied. That would never do. If
they could read and write, or even read,
they would soon get better situations.n ri
