Wilson'S GREAT PARIsIAN CIRCUs.-
This unrivaled company, n previously
announced, will exhibit at Fort Home
stead, Gold Hill, tonight. The citi-
zens Of our town, Silver City and Day
ton, will, by this arrangement, be af-
forded an opportunity of seeing. by
all odds. the best circus In the United
States. From this statement we DO o
abate one jot or little. II the wind
does not blow too hard the perform
ance will open with 4 grand balloon
ascension. Mr.. +. Lee, the inimitable
clown and daring aeronaut, will make
the ascent. In abiding to the perfor
within the pavilion, it Is hard
to particularize where all are executed
so artistically and admirably. Mr..
Kingsley. tie accomplished and good
naturcd ring master.is Il general favor
tie with all who have seen him. In
order TO perfect himself in his profess
sion. he spent three years in Austria
and Germany In learning the art OF
training that noblest of domestic ami
mals-the horse. lie seems perfectly
en- rapport with every horse which Ell
tiers the arena, his control over them
being absolute. The three principal
trick horses, CincihnatuS, President
and Napoleon are gifted with extraor.
binary intelligence and the feats per-
formed by them are truly marvellous.
The two trick ponies ridden bare
backed by Master Cook, without rcins,
ut a break-neck pace, form another in
teresting feature OF the entertainment.
Frank Lee, the celebrated acrobat. Is
peerless In his profession. .At Nir-
ginla City he made 80 revolutions on
the horizontal bar without stopping.
The exploits OF Mr.. Clarke and Miss
Laura. the people with the iron jaw,
are almost Incredible. At Virginia
City, after Mr.. Clarke had lifted from
the ground n 40 gallon cask of water
with his teeth. we took the pains to
examine the caSk aud found that no
deception had been practiccd. Miss
Airie Petopet, the fair Oregon
~ciantess, Is immense. her weight being
407 pounds avolrdupois. Major Tip
toe. the Irish dwarf, Is about the
smallest specimen OF humanity we
have ever sazed upon, being only
27iI inches in hight, though thirty
years Of age. The BeloochiStans
constitute the remainder Of this
strange group OF human ~cnriosities.
We will not anticipate farther. Mr..
Wilson. the proprietor. in engaging in
the show business, made up his mini
10 depend solely upon the merits OF
his circus for pecuniary success rather
than upon flaming show bills, and in
so doing struck the key note OF success.
