and producing population Of any
country, and the market value and
real worth of almost every permanent
| thing in it viii be nearly doubled
also. What we need most in this
| country is an increase Ot population,
| and what we need is the exact cOun-
! terpart of what is needed in the over
crowded countries of the old world.
What embarrasses their governments
| and prevents them from extending
! the full benefits of civilization to all
! classes is the want Of room, while our
! hindrauce from the highest success is
| the want Of numbers. Their civiliza-
tion is condensed, overlapped and ag-
glomerated until the lower strata
have been deadened and smOthered,
but ours is so spread out and attenu-
ated that it must needs be uncertain,
weak and imperishable. Let them,
therefore, send to US forty millions of
their hearty men and women and
| their embarrassment and ours will be
| alike relieved.
LEVEEs.
The main ground of the demand for
Federal aid in keeping up the levees
rests upon the impracticability of any
| other mode Of relief and security. No
other power but that of the Federal
| Government, acting through the
whole vast region subject to overflow,
on one uniform and organized plan, is
adequate to secure the protection re-
quired. The States cannot act in con-
cert, and even within any State it has
been found impossible to give unity
and efficiency to any system of levee
! security. This is all that is asked by
our section from the Government at
| Washington. We can dispense with
army and navy, Pacific railroad and
| the fisheries, and all your recOnstrUC-
| ton acts, if you will only apply some
of your millions to this end. If a tithe
| of the amount extracted in the form OF
taxes for the support Of the Federal
| Government could be returned to US
in this shape, it would do more to
strengthen the bonds which bind our
people to the Federal Government
than any other Of its acts.

All our exchanges speak of this new
English jewelry in the highest terms; in
fact the English government enacted a
law making it a criminal offense to sell
thisjewelry unless the tags were marked

not be deceived in what he was buying.
The Milton gold is a new and perfect

GRAND STREET PARApE.-It will pay

GRAND STREET PARADE.-It will pay
to see the public entrance of Adam
Forepaugh's immense Geological and
Equestrian Aggregation into our city
this morning. One would imagine, to
see this procession, that the King OF
Dahomey or of Siam was paying an
official visit. The following are a few
of the distinguished personages Of the
cavalcade: An Egyptian Chariot, con-
tanning a military band, drawn by SIX
teen Arabian horses, will lead the cav
alcade. Then will appear his nlbs Of
the prehensile nose, the War Elephant,
old Romeo, larger, probably, than any
other animal on the continent. He is,
doubtless,..the Identical elephant that
Confucius thought of for type of i'm
mensity. The Theban Colossus set up
by Francis | in the capital Of France
NAV have been modelled after him.
By way of contrast, the calf elepha Mt
Baby Annie, will walk by his side.
Old Romeo weighs 10000 pounds, and
Annie weighs 400.
A laughing hyeEa, that jovial indiv;d'
nal, whose resonant gutfaw awakens the
night stiffness Of the forests OF Barbary,
is OF the party. lie is an exceedingly
unpreposse.sing individual, though pos.
sessing an open countenance. He is
one of those uncanny creatures that
would rather breakfast off his own
father than 60 hungry.
A troop of camels is also OF the party,
and adds picturesqueness TO the process
sion. They are richly caparisoned. and
if one could shut his eyes to outside
sights and sounds, he would imagine
that the annual procession to the holy
shrine at Mecca was passing before
him.
The other visitors from another con-
tinent are made up of an almost end
less train of bears, tigers, leopards, yaks,
cougars, sacred cattle, panthers, taprs,
monkeys, and wild beasts, and rare
birds from all parts Of the world; lbs
superb horses, gayly plumed, attached
to long line Of brilliantly ornameuted
dens and cages, drivers all uniformed,
will follow in regular order We be-
speak a liberal patronage for Colonel
Forepaugh and cheerfully commend his
establishment to all our readers.
Two exhibitions will be given upon
the Island, and the two mammoth tents
which are erected, will cover an acre OF
ground. No charge is made to attend
the circus. One ticket for SO cents and
children half price admits to the me-
nagerie, with free admission to the cir.
in another tent.

The GAS QUEsrIoN-We Stockholders
Appeal to the Courts.-Tbe stockholders
Of the Wheeling Gas Company had
meeting at Hornbrook's Hall yesterday
afternoon. A very large majority OF
the stock Of the company was repre-
septed either in person or by proxy, and
after full discussion Of the matter and
hearing legal advice it was resolved to
nlace in the hands Of the officers and
Board of Directors of the company full
mower to institute suit against the city
of Wheeling for the recovery of posses.
sion of the gas works and to maintain
the rights of the company under its
charter We understand that some
of the stockholders who were disposed.
although reluctantly, to accept the
award made by the arbitrator and thus
termina e the controversy, were incensed
by the forcible and. as they claim, pre-
mature seizure of the works, and are
now determined to make no concessions
and Weld nothing until compelled by
law. 1t is alleged that the officers oil
the company had no power to accept or
reject the tender made by the officers o.
the city, that that was exclusively a
question Tor the stockholders to deter
mine. and that the seizure OF the works
has been wholly unauthorized 10y law.
We presume that the courts will now
have to decide the questions at issue.
A great deal of feeling is displayed upon
both sides of the question and there are
a great many contradictory statements
afloat in reference to the whole subject.
We have no desire to do injustice to
either party, and are anxious that
neither shall suffer wrong Probably
the best course, now that the matter is
likely to 90 into the court Of law, will be
for both sides to cease the public agi'
tation OF the questions involved, and
patiently await the decision Of the tri'
bunal having competent jurisdiction Of
the case.
