The following notice from the Cincinnati
Commercial, relative to Madame Lakes cir
Gus, which appears here ON Wednesday, Aug.
9Th, gives some interesting particulars Of this
unique exhibition;
There are few women, we imagine, who Ia
Dor under the delusion that they could man.
age circus. We know the fair sex have an
range OF human possibilities, and confidently
refer us to the examples of Joan Of Arc, Madam
Roland, Miss Burdett Coutts, DIR. Mary Walk
er and Mrs. X: X. McGreggor. o, 70 show
how equally with men women have distin-
guished themselves in the arts OF peace and
war. Those Industrious females have, indeed,
done mulch for their strong minded admirers
OF to-day, and made histories to silence many
n scoffer at woman's ability TO do and to SUI
fer; but we are pretty sure that O challenge
to an honest and friendly rivalry in show
management a few years back would have re-
suited In the decided and lncontrovertible as
sertlon OF masculine superiority. There Is no
doubt about the grandeur OF the character of
the woman who fights the battles OF her coun-
try, surrenders her life In devotion to princi-
pie, erects public edlfices for the comfort of
her suffering fellow creatures, or consecrates
herself to the service OF ailing humanity;
everybody admits that. But II such q woman
the one who embarks her all in the most pre-
carious OF all enterprises, and with few
lieutenants, and a score or so Of retainers,
sets out with dreary prospect before her, to
,fayel in all kinds of weather, through hum
dreds of miles OF alternating dust and mud,
TO run a dreadful gauntlet of Incorporating
sherIffs, and to fight her way back TO the place
Of starting, richer in purse than she was be-
forcl Is not her heroism sublime? Does she
not call for our best wishes, and for our most
fervent prayers for her success?
Such u woman is Madam Agnes Lake, who
is now making \ tour through the West with
the circus which bears her name.
The well known Snowman, VIM. Lake, hav-
ing died by the hand OF an assassin two years
ago, the entire management OF the concern de-
volved upon her, and although but woman,
her administration has ever since been so sue
cessful that she now has one OF the best cir
cuses in the country. The Madau and her
daughter Emma, who are account the most
accomplished female riders in lie United
States, are the principal attractions OF the
show, but around them are oongregated ar
| SITS in every department of the arena who
contribute, one and all, to make the Hippo
Olympiad what it is. 4 ne principal members
OF the company besidee Mrs. Lake and her
daughter, are: Mr.. Levi j. North, the accom-
plished nsQfIre dG cirque, with his educated
horse Mars; Moody Cook, the wonderful
somer sault rider; Mr.. George Richards, ath-
lete and cannon bail Juggler; Messrs. Williams
and MAnkin. gymnasts, and Messrs. John
/ Davenport, Ned Ainsiey and Joseph Ginger

Rev. p. T. Rhodes, d.y or two ago receiV-
ed notice from the marshal Of Topeka that q
horse answering to the description Of the one
advertised by him as strayed or stolen had
been put up and sold at auction, to Mr.. Mar
tin, in that city. Mr.. Rhodes went to the:capi-
tai city Immediately, and identified and re-
claimed his pony. Another horse sold at the
same time and place proved to be the proper
ty Of Mr.. OyerlIn, OF this city, which was TAX
en- from his premises the same night that Mr..
Rhodes was stolen. Mr.. Overlin recovered
his pony, also. The horses were Ieft at the
auction stables by two men, one of whom,
young abSut 81 years Of age, was arrested.
The other got hint Of the situation" and
made himself "scarce." Nothing was seen or
heard Of the saddle lost by Gov. Eskridge, and
1t Is thought that 1t may have gone with Mr..
RAcheller's horse, which disappeared about
the same time.

Howells recently brought suit before Esquire
Buck, against one Frank Lewis, a colored in
dividual, for an attempt TO ravish her person
on the night OF the 18th inst, at the Robinson
house, In this city. In substance, her evil
dence was to the effect that Lewis seated him
self upon her bedside, with lighted candle
while she was sleeping, and, awsking her,
placed his hand over her mouth, stating that
he would advance her one dollar II she would
keep still, that he might accomplish his infa-
nous design, in which he failed TO succeed.
Lewis denied the charges In toto, and tried
TO prove an GIt6f. He was bound over in

TIE arAN FOUND DEAD.

In yesterdays paper we mentioned the fact
Of q man having been found dead near the
south line Of this county. From DIR. Morris,
coroner, we obtain the following facts:
Last Wednesday an emigrant, who gave his
name as R'dgeway, accompanied by his fsmi-
ly, and on his way, as he said, to Twin Falls
Greenwood county, found a common saddle
and two carpet bags about q II lie north Of
Madison, Greenwood county, and carried them
to the house OF Mr.. Duncan, in that vicinity,
where the carpet bags we opened and the
contents examined. One of them contained
three shirts, pair Of socks, and hat stained
with blood. The other one contained a suit
OF fine clothing for small sized man, pair
OF line boots and two fine sh IT'S. Mr. Ridge
way claimed the articles found by virtue of
discovery, and carried them with h. u, leaving
word, however, as to where they might be OBJ
tanned, If any one having just claim to the
property should be found. AS we said yester-
day, search was instituted Immediately by
persons living in that locality on the suspic.
ions that somebody had been foully dealt with
in that neighborhood. Nothing was discover
ed to corroborate their suspicious until Sun
day, when attention was attracted by the
smell to the putrefying corpse about half a
mile south Of the place where the carpet bags
were found. and about ninety feet from the
road. The deceased was about six feet in
heigh!, and evidently rather heavily built, his
hair, which had fallen of in the progress OF
decay, was Of an auburn color, and he had on
a pair Of pants made OF brown "farmer's"
cloth, brown, well-worn, faded Dat, and a
striped calico shirt. Decomposition had OBJ
liberated any possibility Of his being recogniz-
ed by his features, and nothing more was
found on or about him, by winch he might
have been identified by an acquaintance. It
was supposed that he was travelling in wa
gOn, or that he was murdered by parties trav-
cling in that way, as the tracks of one Were
seen, and from the position in which he lay
when found, IL was believed that he was muir
dered In the road and dragged by two per-
sons, one at each arm, and dropped and LEFT
just as he was found. The cOroner's jury
found four bullet holes in the chest OF the de-
ceased, another through the fore arm, his
skull fractured and his throat cut, and that
the murder was committed by parties I'M
known.

The colored people Of this city and vicinity
celebrated the anniversary Of the emancipa.
ton Of the slaves in the British West Indies,
by soeiable at their church building, which
was, we arc glad to know, . very pleasant AZ
fair. 1t was the design Of our cOlored friends
to have picnic in grove, and to have so
ciable, also, in the evening, but the Indictment
weather prevented anything like outdoor ex-
ereises. In the evening quite a respectable
number Of persons-both white and colored,
assembled at the church. Rev. Rhodes was
chosen chairman, and appropriate and we'll
received addresses were delivered by Judge
Peyton, Mr.. Buck, and others. After the for
NAL ceremonies came the feast Of good things,
ice cream, cakes, delicious water melons, etc.
All things considered, the celebration was q
success, the proceeds amounting to S27.

kor the information of persons abroad, we
can truthfully say that crops Of every descrip-
ton will be unprecedentedly large In Kansas
this year. The timely rains have greatly rs
sisted our industrious husbSndmen in the pro-
duction OF all the essentials. Plenty reigns
that is all that is needful for the welfare Of a
people. There Is dearth, however, OF "A
rode" Democrats, which we pan assure our
readers, VIII not materially effect the progress
Of the State. Visit Kansas. look At the eoun
Try and the magnificent crops now growing,
and We win venture the assertion that you
will not regret having done so.
