male seminary, and here is his account,
of it,
The boss school. l.master showed me
round, and the sweetest lot of lasses
ever saw were those lasses. They beat
lasses candy. 1t was like looking at a
great big patch of ripe strawberries, all
of 'em sweet, but here and there one of
'em little bigger than the rest, and
somehow l liked the biggest one best

could be a good school,
Says he: "Why"
Said /: "There are too many misses
here for correct lessons"
Then he called up lovely girl in
green merino, with q yellow silk string
round her neck, and she stepped up to a
nice clean blackboard and took piece
of chalk and daubed it all up. Then
the boss exclaimed: "What do you
think Of that?"
| told him that any fool could make
white marks on to blackboard with a
piece Of chalk. "Give her a piece of
CHARCOAL" says l, ''and if she makes
them white marks with that, then she
will be smart"
Then he said it was from memory.
''Now said /, "you don't say that is
from memory; what in thunder is the
thing anyhow ?" 1t looked like spe.

"Drawn by minor" said /; "that

There are in the United States travel
ing through the Summer season no les;
than forty-four different circus compa
nies. The fitting out of first class cir
Gus, exclusive of any menagerie, costs
fully 100000 The expense Of new
tent, with poles, ropes, seats, lamps,
banners, entrance curtain, is a little
short of $4,000. The baggage wagons
range in value from 1910 to 800. The
extra horses needed for them are from
$500 to 5000 per pair, and the great
golden chariot for musicians costs from
81, 800 to $1,000, and the ring carpet for
tumbling costs from 5000 TO $500, ac-
cording to size and quality. Trick
horses range from 81 500 to $4,000 in
value, pad horses from 81, 200 to s., 200,
horseback act horses from 81 200 to
80 200, trick ponies from Si00 to 81 900,
and the trick mules often cost 81 900.
First class stock gymnasts and riders
receive from S75 to 500 per week and
their board for the travelling season.
Firstclass men and women riders receive
from $50 to 5000 per week and their
board ; clowns from $50 to 500, and the
mass Of riders from S25 to $50. Eques-
trian stars receive from $500 to 1880
per month. Six to ten acrobat6, six
riders and half a dozen supernumera-
ries, usually form the complement of a
circus, in addition to the stars. The
daily expenses of such an establishment
are from 5000 to $1,000.
Acrobats and gymnast5 begin their
education for the ring at six or eight
years of age, when their young limbs
are pliable, and sometimes earlier, and
continue their violent exercises until
nearly fifty, when their muscles be-
come too rigid for the work. 1t is q
mistake to suppose that circus men lead
dissipated and spendthrift lives. The
exercise Of their calling requires relax
ed sinews, a clear head and body in
complete health. A miscalculation, or
failure of strength during q leap,
might entail death. They are, there
fore, very sparing, or entirely abstemi-
Gus, in the use of strong liquors, and
very moderate in any qualification of
sense whatever. Retired showmen
may be found in many parts of the
country and are esteemed citizens.
Their fondness for horses naturally
leads them to country life, where they
can maintain their favorites cheaply.
The amount invested in the forty. four
circuses and menagerieJ is $4,000, 900. A
town of 1000 inhabitants will require
about 5000 for advance posters, and large
cities $500 to $1,000. Circuses do not

BURIED ALIVE.

We learn from the Ottawa Citizen that
Tor some time past the work Of removing
the remains Of the departed from the old
Roman Catholic burying-ground to the
new cemetery has been going quietly on,
and nothing more than might be expected
under the circumstances occurred until the
other day. The sacred ashes have been
reverently taken from their narrow beds
and removed by the hands of loving friends
to the new city of the dead Affecting in.
cidents have naturally occurred, and some
scenes bordering on the revolving have
been witnessed in the old cemetery. Re.
Gently unburied bodies have been uncof-
fined that fond eyes might gaze upon their
features for last time before covering
them with the sod again. One such Incl
Gent VI startling nature occurred last
Tuesday. A gentleman who was engaged
in removing the remains of some Of his
deceased relatives, was asked BY an ac-
quaintance, who was similarly engaged,
to assist him in lifting a coffin from
grave. He did so, and the lid was taken
OFT. 10 the horror of the small body OF
spectators who gathered around it, they
discovered that the body. which was that
OF an uncle OF the gentleman who was
ANAhO'H5 bCSu ulStuIUSu III Tue
collin. 1t was terribly contorted, as if the
deceased had died in great agony. The
face wore an expression of intense pain
and horror. the arms were drawn up as far
as the coffin would admit, and the head
was twisted round to the shoulder, from
which the flesh apparently had been gnaw-
ed by the struggling man. Sickened by the
horrible sight, the spectators drew back
from the coffin, and looked speechlessly
into each others eyes. Not word was
spoken, but there was not man present
who did not feel that the deceased had
been buried alive-probably while in u
had awakened only to perish
in his living tomb. The coffin was closed
again and taken to the new cemetery,
where it was decently inferred Every
precaution was taken to hush up the affair,
but it had got abroad, and now we publish
it without giving name.
