Duty of temperance societies.

To The Editor of the State Journal: ,t.r
Thanking you for past efforts to induce
our city fathers to replace the tin cups which
were attached to the drinking fountain OPP
posite the post-office, ask space in your
valued columns for suggestion, in the
hope that thirsty passers may no longer be
tantalized by the offer of water in this OPP
pressively sultry weather, without the
means to drink it, more especially when
few noble hearted and public spirited ladies
presented TO the city the fountain, which is
an ornament to our principal thoroughfare,
and should be duplicated in every quarter
of the city. U,a.s.
But to my suggestion desire to press
upon the several temperance organizations
an appeal, that they take drinking foun-
tains, present and prospective, under their
care and patronage and that before the
sun sets this evening they see that cups are
replaced on the fountain opposite the post
office and before tomorrow is spent that
the fountain on Marshall street near the
New Market is repaired, and dispenses q
welcome stream of health-giving water.
There is more practical temperance effect
in one tasty drinking fountain than in q,
whole course of lectures. 'Th8 fI EIETl
People must drink when they are thirs-
ty; and if they cannot find water they
can always find liquor; and who can tell
how many chains OF habit have been forged,
binding to drunkenness those who would
have been sober men could they have al
layed their burning thirst at the fountains
now useless through the culpable neglect. Of
the city authorities. erTil4R ,s;Ie3i.r 4
Again, if the temperance organizations
will assume the patronage Of drinking foun-
tains, they will never lack funds where
with to erect others as needed. j. 4

MARKET-HoUSE FOR THE WEST
END. Many months ago the STATE
JOURNAL called attention to the necessity
Of erecting market-house for the accom-
mediation of the populous west end of
Richmond. The necessity is more pressing
now than ever, and we are glad to see that
the subject was laid before the Council last
night. Mr.. Newberry presented series Of
resolutions passed by mass meeting of
citizens of Clay ward asking for the estab-
lishment of new market-house and public
hall for the accommodation of the growing
population of the western part Of the city.
1t was referred to a special committee Of
five, consisting of Messrs. Newberry,
Wexford, Starke, Euker and English, Of
Marshall. We do not doubt that the COM
mittee will report in favor of the project,
and we can safely promise the up-townels
the market facilities possessed by other
portions of the city.

How 1T rs DONE petition of w.
Ii. Tylor for permission to erect frame
house on Twenty-ffth street, near Clay,
was presented in the Council last evening.
The fact was developed Immediately after
the reading of the petition that the house,
for the erection of which permission was
asked, had already been built, and would
be ready for occupancy within forty-eight
hours. This is positively ridiculous. 1t
is clear violation of chap. &C, sec. 16, of
the city ordinances, the penalty for which
there is a fine of not less than $50 nor more
than $50, and for every day house which
has been erected contrary to law is allowed
to remain after the first fine is imposed,
constitutes distinct oftense, and is punish-
able as such. IL.. .---

The JOHN ROBINSON SHow.-This
unsurpassed menagerie, aquarium and cir
Gus will visit Richmond on Tuesday and
Wednesday, October LIST and I'd. We can
not give our readers better idea of the
great Snowman and his establishment than
is presented by the following, which ap-
peared recently in the Brooklyn Eagle
Old John Robinson has been in the show busi-
ness hear half century During that time he
has planted his show down in many q town in
every part of this government As in other
affairs pluck perseverance,, and ability bring
success These qualities, Old John Robinson ms
he now is, possessed in early days. and retains
them at his present time of life TO u large degree
he knows all about the show business. Why
shouldn't he for he began it's study practically
in the days of Sickles' babes in the woods
Now he has the show, of its kind, in the
country. 1t is menagerie and circus, in three
large tents, for one admission The Inenagerie
contains a large variety, and u number of very
rare specimens, from every cline, of the watery
deep, the forests, and the air. These are always
interesting to all classes. The circus department
is uneXcelled. The tent for this is immense, ca
pable OF seating six thousand people.
81 The veteran Snowman seems TO be receiving
ovations all along the line. SO it was here yes-
terday In the afternoon there was an immense
audience, and last evening Just one great jam,
until there was no room left. The stud of horses
is very fine, numbering over a hundred to which
add thlrty-sx ponies from nothing up to a decent
of the very best in the land, if not in the world
Robert Stickney is well kpo Un and celebrated as
rider and vaulter. His double somersault over
fifteen horses was accomplished with rare grace
and apparent ease His forward and back som
ersaults on horseback were scarcely less remark-
able. George M. Kelly's single somersault over
eighteen horses in the afternoon, and over TWEEN
ty IN the evening, was a master feat Hemay
well be styled the champion of the world in this
act. Frank Robbins horseback riding with
someraults, was of the finest order; easy, sure,
graceful. Lewis, the colcred boy, is &; dlshing,
daring bare. back rider--lghtning all the time
no fear, and no mistakes. George Slowmans
globe on horseback was perfection and shows
what can be done by practice.
VIM. Conrad is q master trainer of dogs and
monkeys. John LowloW is one of the cleverest
clownjesters you come across. Mile Amour's
riding is very good. There are others of the COM
pany fully worthy of mention, but we fail to re
member their names. Mr. Robinson is entitled to
all the credit he receives for being surrounded
by such an array of arena talent, and with so
fine menagere. Immense audiences greet him.
and the verdict is The best of i'll.
