The Great North American Circus.

This circus made no outside display,
but. the inside exhibition was one ofster-
ling merit. Mr.. j. w. Wilder never
travels with trashy alfiir.-in fact, it
is Synonymous with excellence to say
that it is "Jim Wilder'S Show" The
entertainment was in every respect
the best that ever visited the city this
season. The equestriani5m was in every
respect praisewOrthy. In this branch
of the entertainment, Mr.. John Barry
long associated with arena hor5eman-
ship-performed extraordinary feats Of
bareback ridin gand somersault throw
ing, with an d6GRdO1 and reCklessnes5
truly startling. Mr.. Jacob ShOWle5
executed some difficult Ieat5 on the
slack rope and in athletic exercises. His
novel globe performance on horseback
was very effective. His little son, Mas
ter Willie Showles, child probably Of
ten years-dOubtlesS the smallest bare.
back rider of any ropute in the world
performed even the most difficult
feats of riders of mature growth and
experience. The Grennelle brothers,
consisting Of young man and child
of some seven or eight years, must,
| however, be considered the most start
| ling novelties. The little child disportCd
himself in hand springs, backward and
forward somersaults, Continuous somer-
saults, and in difficult feats on the hOri-
zontal bar of the most intcnsifying
character. The Leon brothers were
also excellent, especially in their Jap
anese burlesque. The female eque5tri-
anism was very good, the young lady,
very mOdestly attired, riding with
grace and beauty.-Of John Foster, the
celebrated clown, comment is unneces-
sary. OF Mr.. Butler as Humpty Dumpty

TIE Society for the Prevention Of
Or uelty 10 Animals publishes timely
appeal in behalf of the horses which
have to do their work without regard
to the severity of the weater. How fear
fully human beings suffered during the
recent torrid term everybody knows.
They, however, could make their suff-
erings known, apply the remedies them-
selves, or quit work. But the horse can
do none of these things. Some one must
look after him, think for him, feel for
him, care for him. This is the ground
work of the Society's appeal. Men who
have the care Of horses should know the
best treatment for them whens suffer-
ing from heat. The chief danger is that
they may overlook the necessity for
extra attention.

Bloomsbury is becoming musical.
In addition to the private melodies
furnished by our citizens in the domain
Of their own residences, we have one
brass band and now the colored people
have one-that is they haven't got it
yet but hope to. They practice daily,
and nightly, in Rock street and al
though there is at present but little
"concourse of sweet sounds" there are
probabilities that there will be. A
band either brass or string, struggling
onward to perfection is not cheerful
adjunct to a neighborhood and only
that hope (which springs eternal in the
human breast" can sustain the spirits o.
involuntary hearers.

DANIEL KALBFUs, ESQ. Many of
our readers doubtless remember Rev.
Charles Kalbfus of Berwick. Among
our early play-mates we remember well
his son "Dan," who is now located at
Mauch Chunk and practising law. He
has quite an extended reputation as an
orator, his style being easy and finish
ed, Heretofore he has been prominent
speaker for the Republican party, but
has now taken the stump for Greeley.
AT ratification meeting at Mauch
Chunk, he said "thc mission of the Re
publican party had been fulfilled, and
he was not willing to see its bones hawk
ed about the country for The needs or
greeds of demagogues and adventur-
ers.n
This action of Mr.. Kalbfu5 will bring
us hundreds of votes in Carbon county.
We hope to see him in his native coun-
| ty during the campaign.

EDITOR CoLUMBIAN.-Ifal all the fruit
crops turn out as we'll as the berries
have done this year nobody can com
plain. There has not been such sea-
son for years rs the mountains is cover
ed with them. Great numbers of peo'
pie have been going to the mountain to
pick; seventy went through here on
Monday. There must be money in
berries.
There is not much excitement here
about politics. Most Of the Democrats
will 20 for Greeley and Brown. There
is one here and there who talks pretty
hard against Horace, but most of such
men will come around right If they are
let alone. The thing is just this, every
Democrat who does not vote for Greeley
Is helping to elect Grant and no honest
Democrat can do that. There is no
choice but Greeley or Grant ana how
one of our party can help put Grant
into the White House again cannot
understand. There isn't much Democ
racy about them that is pretty certain
| think all will come in right. / did
not like Greeley but like Grant much
less and so I'll go for tho old white hat
and coat which mean honesty and thl
peoples rights.
The weather IS not so hot as it Wa'
and we are all better in health ant
comfort. The COLUMBIAN suits u
here. Mako it strong for Buclalov
and against tho Treasury thieves.

AN impression exists in many quarters
that revenue stamps were altogether
abolished by the late act of Congress, in
consequence Of which number of per-
sons have ceased to use them. This is a
Misrepresentation. The act itself does
not become operative until the first OF
October, nor does it repeal the two cent
tax on checks, drafts and orders, or on
proprietary medicines, perfumery and
cosmetics, matches, wax tapers, playin
cards, and canned meats and sauces
Every one is supposed to know the law
and the plea ofignorance is not accepted
in eytenuation of its violation. Persons
interested will therefore do well to bear
this in formation in mind.

The following syllabus of decision
Of the Supreme Court of the State, rela.
tive to the right Of students to vote at
the place where they are pursuing their
studies will apply to the nonresident
scholars Of our Normal School.
Upon a case stated, to determine
whether the students at Muhlenberg
College, In the second ward of the city
of Allentown, who voted at municipal
election, held in that ward, were legal
voters, the court heId,
/. The question turns wholly upon
| their residence, the students being 9TH
erWise duly qualified voters. The resi-
dence required in section /, article 3,
of the State constitution, means home,
fixed abode, domicile of the elector, as
distinguished from a place of Temporal
ry sojOurning.
| 2. The students Of the college having
! come to Allentown "for no other pur-
puse than 10 receive a collegiate educa.
uating, it is evident that the college
was not their true home i'm the sense
intended by the constitution, and thai
therefore they had no right to vote il
Allentown.
8. The fact that some Of the students
support themselves, and "Eave left the
home of their parents and never intent
to return and make it permanen
abode" does not alter the case, as they
came to Allentown for no 0ther purpos,
than TO receive collegiate education
They have still domicile in the plac
where their home is, and until the.
leave it voluntarily and actually obtail
another, their domicile continues ther

Few people know what are the re.
sources Of the Government until they
see them dragged into service to re.
elect a President, as now. We have
Cabinent ministers on the stump, Bu-
reau officers sending out speeches made
in Congress, and Government clerks
hunting up ammunition in the files of
Liberal journals. But the very latest
trick is 10 set the paid employees of the
Executive Departments to writing
editorials for feeble Grant papers, which
are not sufficiently cared for by editorial
pOstmasters and assessors. This is civil
land politica) service, and shows that
the President is bent on putting down
this rebellion against his personal de-
sire, if it takes the whole Government
to do it.-N. Y. Tribune.
This charge we have every reason to
believe is true, because the simultane-
Gus appearance of the same article, in
each Republican paper, without credit,
is in itself proof. Our postmaster edit
or at this place, can therefore take his
weekly jaunts as usual, without being
annoyed with the idea that something
new ought to go into his paper. His
readers will now be satisfied that the
paper will be edited, even if it is by
some fourth rate Washington clerk.

railroad, in charge Of John Wiser, was
approaching No. ,, the runner discoy-
cred little child about s months old,

when the whole train passed over it..

where the accident occurred. Mr.. Wiser

WHILE workmen were engaged last
week in digging trench in this city,
to lay water pipe. they came suddenly
on burying ground, unknown to the
oldest inhabitant. Some conjecture that
il was an old Indian burying place, but
there is nothing to confirm this belief.
Others are of opinion that at an early
day frontier fort stood near this place,
upon a low bluff. SO far, however, the
entire matter is involved in mystery.

Doctor of Laws on General President

not Harvard? One degree more will

A KENTUCKY newspaper tells of an
old hen that flies up into mulberry
tree, picks off the berries, and, having
satisfied herself, fastens her claws to the
limb and shakes off some for the little
chickies that stand underneath with
beaks wide open ready to catch the
tempting fruit.-EU.
If the above yarn had been told OF
almost any other living creature than a
hen, we might have received it as con-
tanning some grains of truth. But We
respectfully but firmly decline to accred-
it any thing marvellous to a hen, who
would barely know enough to pick ur
the berries after they were on the
ground.
