Rich AND PooR.-Wilhout little ambition,
existence in this life would be intolerable.
From our first boots to the superb funeral the
spirit of emulation prevails. Too sudden
success is the strongest test of the brain; 1t
more often unbalances mankind than does
adversely. The latter makes suicides but it
does not make misers. One kills the body,
perhaps: the other dwarfs or starves the soul,
After all, it is the rich who deserve our COM
mendation, The man with power desires an
increase of it. To compass his ends he will
work harder than the poor day laborer.
Riches once achieved, the door is opened by
which he may achieve renown. Early and
late he is at work, an Astor among his mill
ions, ard yet poorer than the half-fed pauper.
1t is, perhaps, best that all do not succeed in
their ambitions. The majority cannot with
stand the temptations ofprosperity. ooh, |
wish was rchr' sighs the man who, if he
should find ten dollars unexpectedly, would
expend it all in celebrating his good fortune.
With half million dollars he would be able
to show all his many weaknesses. The great
majority of men can do little more than earn
a living and support growing family. In
time they die, leaving their children behind
them to tread the same paths, to laugh or
weep over the same good or evil. Now and
again a Stewart or an Astor, or some similar
success staytles the rules of proprety, butthe
majority plod along, from cradle to grave,
with paltry ambitions unsatisGed. Ihous-
ands who wish to be rich could not take care
of fortune if one were given them. .-75,ve

CIRCUS ATTRACTIONS IN COURT TINE
LernI EIoauence vs.. Martial Music.

Yesterday:morning the. Circuit Court was III
| session engaged IN trying an interesting case
involving question of commercial law,
Col. c. had just taken his seat after an n I'm :
passiOned harangue on behalf OF the defense
and the tall form of Judge B. was about being
raised to conclude the argument. just then
the noise of brazen music coming down MAN
street from Gay announced that the circus band
wagon was about approaching An lnstantsen
sation was perceptible. Several gentlemen inside
the bar took their hats and started for the door
The jury, influenced no doubt by the pres
ence of such frisky youngsters as EsquireS
Brandon, Bishop and Nickle, and DR.. Nelson,
began to be decidedly restless, and a suggestion
was made that Court suspend until the process
sion had passed.
Such breach of judicial etiquette seemed to
find no favor with the bench, but just then our
genial legal friend Ii. suggested that some of
the jury might wish to be excused, and Col. q.
remarked that he needed little rest but want
ed to be present when the argument was pro-
ceeded with. The jury caught at the sugges-
ton, and in a twinkling the jury box and the
bar were empty, leaving His Honor, however
still on the bench
Good time was made ex-Judge H. being
among the foremost, and when the attractions
had passed the thTOng returned.
But where was his Honor? the bench was
empty. A few moments more and he made his
appearance through the west side door. Of
course he did not 90 to look on, but by a curious
coincidence the steps outside that door COM
manded an excellent view of the street for some
distance in the direction that the music had
gone.
The Court House Immediately assumed a
grave aspect, and Judge B. proceeded at once
to demonstrate that not he but the counsel tor
the defence had been acting the cuttlefsh in
this case"

The Circus.

We have heard but one expression of opinion
in regard to the exhibitions given by Mike Lip
mans corps of performers at the circus under
his management, which took place yesterday
afternoon and last night The balloon ascen-
sion took place at the hour announced, and as
the mammoth air-ship rose grandly up and
scared away into cloud-land, it was thrilling
sight.
The riding was under charge of Mr.. f. Whit
aker, the accomplished equestrian director, who
has had an experience of many years in the
profession, and his department was that of the
finished gentleman, which he is; and in this
connection we will state that the same can be
truthfully said Of every attachc of this model
establishment.
The Workmanship of Mr. w. w. Nichols, in
which is introduced little Birdie Nichols, was
superb, and seldom is childlike trust more
cOnspicuously displayed than by this child, only
three years Of age, in the exciting ride, while
the ease and grace which characterizes his mo-
tons were really wonderful in one so young.
The aerial evolutiOns of Messrs. MiacO and
Ball was the embodiment Of GOODNESS and dar-
ing and far surpassed their rivals in this danger
Gus branch Of the profession where the slight
est degree Of nervousness or miscalculNtions
would result in instant death,
The wonderful act Of Little Molhe Brown, the
champion child rider of the profession, was re-
ceived with loud applause from the audience,
while the backward summersault was executed
with the ease and lightning like Tapidity of the
ance sold a large number Of her photographs,
and we learn from Mr.. Lipman that the pro-
ceeds arising from their sale are invested in real
estate by her mother so that in case Of a reverse
of fortune she would not be left unprovided
for.
The athletic postures and groupings of Mdlle.
Zitella, and the Nerilla Broth ers were most
graceful and is one Of the few instan ceS where
woman has attained eminence in this branch
of the profession.
The portraiture of characters from Dickens
by Signor Sagrina would have deligh ted the
admirers of " Boz" and the act du menage
Of Madame Louise Tournaire excited the admi
ration of all lovers of graceful equestrianism.
The fresh and poignant jests of the versatile
humorist Jean johnson, kept the audience
smiling, and the entertainment of Messrs. Pain
ter and Durand provoked peals of laughter and
applause.
But we cannot enumerate each point of excel
lence in this combination. Those who were
there know what it is and those absent yester-
day will either go to-day or miss the sight of a
first class performance. In point of excellence
the troupe attached to this establishment are
not eXcelled by any other artists of the arena.
While present last evening. we thought Of
''Sleary' of the English Horse Riding in his
language to the country Squire, Make the
betht of nth, Thquire, the world muth be
amuthed." The Concert given at the close of
circus performance differs from others in many
particulars, in one especially, it being worth
witnessing, y all who witnessed the manage
ment of Mr.. Booker and heard Mdlle Zitella
sing can testify.

Circular.

To tie Voters Of hnor County
tELLOW-CITIZENS: By an Act of the Gen
eral Assembly of the State of Tennessee ap-
proved December, 8, 1871, it devolves upon you.
Mt the election, on the first Thursday of August,
next, to elect an Attorney General for the Dis
trict of Knox, whose duty it will be to represent
the interests and prosecute in behalf of the
people Of the State in the Criminal Court of
said District.
In obedience to the often expressed desire of
many personal and political friends, and in ac-
COrdanCe with my own inclination and wishes in
the premises, | announced myself some weeks
since, candidate for that important position
According to what | regard the duty of every
man who aspires to public confidence and stew
ardShip, | take this occasion, and adopt this me-
dunn of communicating with my fellow-citi-
zens whose suffrage | seek. While politics can
have but little connection with judicial con-
test in the abstract; and certainly should
have nothing whatever to do in the
administration of the law-and such shall
be the guidlng-principle of my official action,
if elected; yet. that no man may act and vote
MISUNDERSTANDING, it seems eminently proper
to say that | am now, and always have been a
Republican in politics, and although quite lib
eral in my views, | am not liberal enough to
vote the Democratic ticket in disguise-supar-
coated with Greeley and Brown.
1t is proper also, to state that my Republic
canlsm Is OF no recent origin. Born and raised
and having lived in Knox county the greater
part OF my life, L was nevertheless taught,
from my earliest infancy, to look upon the
institution of slavery as fragrant violation of
The Rights of Man." and am proud to say
that was an original friend of the colored race
This mere fact, however, gives me no precedence
over those who have come to see the interests of
men in the same light in which / was taught to
regard them from my youth up, and which
views have grown with my growth and strength
ened with my strength Several very clever
gentlemen are already announced as my COM
petitors, and others are perhaps in allegiance,
against whom | shall have nothing but the kind
est words to utter. 1 stand not on hereditary
nights nor do | seek an election through
the influences of ancestral prestige, but sub
nit my claims to the people, at the ballot box,
believing that they have the good sense to ac-
cept or reject men for office, because of ,ghat
they are, and not for lchGt they n'lght haze been.
Hoping to see and interchange opinions with as
many Of you as possible between now and the
election,
am yours truly,
JAMES n. RAY.

Public SDeakinE,

The irrepressible B. G. Owens candidate for
Congress from this district will regale the citi-
zens of Knoxville, to-day at Il o'clock, at the
Court House, with another of his inimitable
intellectual feasts Though Mr.. o. is a political
opponent of the men and measures we advocate,
yet far be it from our purpose to attempt to
pluck single laurel from his brow. Honest
Horace" is certainly fortunate in securing the
services of so able a champion as this illustrous
gentleman and he may safely be registered as
one of the shining lights of the Capitol under
his administration. From the tremendous APP
plause which greeted him at his last appearance
here. we may safely bespeak for him an enthu-
sastic audience. Our citizens are unfortune in
having two first class performances on the same
day We would suggest to the Colonel that he
conclude his Grafton before the opening Of the
Circus lest it prevent them from attending.
