LOOKING FOR THR CRcUs.-It is astonishing,
what an immense number of people will come
out upon the streets to witness circus procession.
As early as eight o'clock this morning, Market
street thron2ed with people of all ages, szes,
colors and description, who came from all dITec-
tions to witness the parade of the Great Eastern
MenAgerie. Museum and Circus. By nine O'Clock,
every available dry good boxes and awning posts,
and all other convenient roostng places, were
crowded with little urchins, while the sidewalks
were crowded with persons, waiting anxiously
for the expected show. Many strangers came IN
from the country, aud employed the time, while
waiting for the circus procession in viewing the
sights Of our city. Ihe colored population turned
out in force and thronged the corners where they
munched peanuts and ginger and water
melons TO their hearts content. Altogether 1t
was motley gathering, and one could not help
wondering, while gazing upon it, how our city
can support so many people who Gcan afford to
lose so much time, merely to witness circus
procession.

The RattIesnake's Rattle.

In the american Naturalist, Prof. Sam
uel Aughey gives the results of his obser-
vationS upon the use made of their rattles
by the rattiesnake. 1t is the vulgar opin-
ion that the reptile sounds his rattle for
the purpose of enticing birds, and some
naturalists even are disposed to find here
mimicry of the sound made by the So
called locust, or cicada. Prof. Aughey
does not undertake to explain all the pur-
poses served by the rattle, but he fully
agrees with Mr.. f. w. Putnam in reject
ing this mimetic theory. Does the rattle,
then, serve any useful purpose? In reply
to this question, the author tells us what
he ha: himself observed. In July, 1863,
he was in Wayne County, Nebraska, and,
as he was one day investigating the natu-
familiar rattle of the snake. The sound
was repeated at intervals, and proceeded
from a rattlesnake that was calling its
mate, which soon came in answer to the
summons. Prof. Aughey had similar
experience the following year, and from
these facts he is disposed to think that the
purpose served by the rattle is to call the
sexes together.
Another purpose may be to paralyZe its
victims with fright, and to inspire its nat
ural enemies with terror. AS an illustra-
tion of the use of the rattle for the former
purpose, the author says that, as he fol-
lowed through the woods of Dakota
County, Nebraska, Baltimore Oriole, he
heard a rattle, and at once saw the bird
as it were paralyzed with fear, AMI ready
to fall prey to the serpent. The writer
shot the rattlesnake. He adds that he
once witnessed an attack of seven hogs on
a rattlesnake. Soon after the battle open
ed, the snake ratified, and three others
came to his aid. But the hogs were vic
torious in a few minutes.

Cheerful Predictions.

DR.. R. Il. Trail, in the Philadelphia
Star, is very cheerful prophet. He says
we are approaching the climax of pes
tilential period. From 1880 to 1885 the
planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Nep-
tune will approach the earth nearer than
they have been for eighteen hundred
years. Whenever any one of the four
have come near enough for us to feel its
influence, pestilence, famine, and ex-
tremes of heat and cold have been found
the result. Now, we are to have the in
fiuence of the four combined, and he pre-
diets that in seven years from now all
manner of evil which grows out of at
mospheric changes will be upon us. To
lessen this calamity, the world is urged to
use the strictest sanitary measures, and
by health AMI cleanliness counteract the
effects of our unwelcome neighbors. The
world is so much better able TO care for it
self than it was TWO or three hundred
years ago, that by care we may avert
much of the danger. To the following
classes he gives very cold comfort: "The
dissipated, the glutton, the debauchee
may calculate on being among the first
victims. Young men who devitalize
themselves by using tobacco, oung ladies
who destroy one half of their breathing
capacity by fashionable dress and light
lacing, will never survive the perihelion
of all the large planets Of the solar system;
and perhaps it will be best that they
should not,n

A Queer Phase of Insanity.

When jurors, medical experts, and
Journalists fall by the ears upon the ques-
ton of what tenor of action should be re-
garded as proof or disproof of insanity,
the public are apt to view the whole dis
cussion as mere pretext for such verbal
tumult as may either allow some criminal
misdoer to evade moral responsibility for
his crime, or cause possible maniac to
experience the opposite fate. In other
words, there is no abiding popular faith in
what pretend to be- scientific tests of
mental health, the prevalent idea being
that man is either a raving lunatic,
pulling idiot, or sane, reasoning creature;
his condition in any case as obvious to a
child as to the wisest physician, and all
pretense of learned doubt in the case the
veriest sham. Common scenes in modern
criminal trials go far to strengthen at
least the vulgar clamor of this conclusion,
but it undoubtedly owes its greatest ten
aclty to the common minds slowness of
credulity for what every common instinct
esteems the most terrible of human afflic-
tions. Men Shrink from crediting insanity
in their own relatives or friends until it
has attained a violence of demonstration
leaving no further ground of earthly hope,
and cannot be reconciled save in the
vaguest general way to the theory that the
mind, like the body, is subject to various
diseases, and is only exceptionally in a
condition of perfect health. Yet there is
scarcely town or even neighborhoOd
in the world without its "queer,n eccen-
trio character, whose tenor of action is
such as to denote mental disease. In the
many such cases finding daily record in
public print there are plenty of parallels to
instances like the following taken from
papers of recent date. At Middleburg,
Pa, says the Post of that place, man
named Ellsworth died lately, after local
career of brief but startling eccentricity.
He came thither from Hartford Conn.,,
last spring. attired in curiously patched
garments and accompanied by dog, and
hired room in which to print for himself
an incoherent pamphlet entitled, "The
Prospects of the End" From long con-
sideration of the passage in Revelations;
"And he laid hold on Satan and bound him
thousand years, after which he must be
loosed for little season." he had become
possessed of the idea that the season of
diabolic rule had begun, and that men
could avoid its influence only by abstain
ing rigidly from all physical grossn SIS.
TO maintain his own ethereality, while
printing his pamphlet upon hand-press
which he had brought with him, he lived
exclusively upon cOrn-meal and water, re
fusing to touch bread or meat. Though
very taciturn and lofty in his manner, he
seemed 10 be actually insane on this sub
ject only, but died victim to the poor
diet and hard labor imposed by his delg-
sion,-M y. W0rld,
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1873-04-03

ON what a trihlng matter great results
sometimes hang. Some merchants, while
travelling, were overtaken by u storm, and
kindled fire on the sands of the sea shore
to warm themselves and cook some food.
They used for fuel plant they found in the
neighborhood. Next morning they saw
some shining particles among the ashes, ard
an examination showed that the ashes'of the
plant combined with the sand had produced
hard, yet transparent, solid. This was the
origin of the discovery of glass. So with
Buchu. The Hottentots had for years used
the leaves of the plant in theirrude practice.
AS soon as the resident English and Dutch
physicians found out its value, the knowl-
edge of its virtues soon spread over the en.
tire civilized world. PARKER's COMPOUND
FLUID EXTRACT BUCHU possesses all the
virtues of the plant in a highly concentrated
| form combined with IVA Ursi, Juniper Ber.
ries, Cubebs and Acetate of Potassa, al
united in such rare proportions as to obtain
the proper medicinal effect of each, while
neither too much predominates. Sold by al
| druggists, everywhere.
