The Circus.

- For the fifth time since coming to
our city, Montgomery Queens tent
was packed to its utmost capacity last
night. Our people are not slow
Ito appreciate this circus and me-
nagerie combination as the best which
has ever visited Southern California,
2 as they prove in the most substantial
manner--by visiting 1t. In all OF Its
appointments the show is first-class.
The menagerie comprises, beside the
animals usually carried with travel
Ing company, many that are seldom
found outside of geological gardens in
large cities, and all the finest of their
species. The performance in the ring
is equally creditable. Here many
novelties are In the conduct and the
general management of the entertain
ment and many features which usually
pass current but will hardly do for a
politeS audience, are dispensed with.
Among the corps of performers, Miss
Mollie Brown comes first. She Is said
4 TO be the only lady somersault rider
in the world. Her movements are all
graceful and her riding the most dar-
Ing and artistic which we have ever
seen in the arena. Leopold and Ger
% aIQine carry OH the p'tiui aS elaPcAS
performers; Romeo Sebastian executes
some fine feats Of somersault riding;
/ Nat Austin and Billy Burke do the
clown with none of his comicalities
left out, and Chas. and Carrie Austin
introduce their musket practice as q
novel and attractive feature of the en-
tertainment. Mile. Jeanette Ellsler,
as O tight rope performer has few
Z equals and no superior, and Signor
Fuente accomplishes some extraordin-
ary feats of tumbling and contortion.
These artists are ably supported by a
full troupe OF equestrians, acrobats,
7voltigeurs and gymnasts. Mr.. Queen
u has certainly shown q mastery hand
in collecting and conducting this fine
array of attractions. He deserves we'll
from the public and will doubtless re-
ceive his full reward. In closing, we
must not neglect to mention the adj
vance agent, Mr.. Pell, and Mr.. Geo. 5.
Cole, the Treasurer Of the company:
They are both affable gentlemen and
adorn their calling. From here the
circus will proceed to San Buenayen-
tura and thence up the coast s-

The Theatre.

There was crowded house at the
theatre last night and the entertain
ment was of sterling worth, Miss
Florence Kent, in particular, acting
with consummate skill. At the re-
quest of theatre-goers Miss Kent will
give three more entertainments in
Los Angeles, tonight and on Monday
and Tuesday nights. Owing to the
many amusements presented last
week this troupe did not receive the
general support it merited, and the
theatre should be thronged for the
next three nights.

DEATH-CHIMEs.

rolllne out in solemn grandeur
From the church across the bay,
Chimes OF death are ever ringing
Slowly, sadly, day BY day
Asthe church makes sign Of mourning
Mourning for her cherished dead
All the death-chimes seem like angulshed
Wailings of the souls Just He'd.
Passers by the holy temple
Bare the head In reverence there;
For IL seems a solemn presence
Lingers near IL in the air.
Now death-bier slow approachet6;
Ger IL mourns q woman Wild,
For within the little coffin
Lies her first and only Child.
Close the tiny hands are folded,
Fast the snowy lids are closed;
And the little form Is rigid
Z ON the burial couch reposed.-
Hark! another chime Is sounding
Who Is this SO lowly laid?
Lovely though In deaths wan slumber-
She was once q bllthesome maid.
ON the bosom still and breathess,
fnterlaced her fingers fair;
And the marble brow is shaded
By soft, clustering, clinglng hair.
List! the cry of wsiling children
Mingles with the toliing bell; O.
Cold before them lies the mother
Whom they loved so passing well.
slow and sad, before the altar
Now they lay q silVered head;
Stalwart sons and weeping daughters
Mourn the father who Is dead
Thus they pass-at morn, at even
As the bells ring sad and slow;
Infant, maiden, matron, grandsire
O'er the selfsame pathway go.
Telling, tolling, ever tollng,
Death of good and death of bad;
Each by some one IS laInented,
Each chime tells story sad.
But 1t truly matters little 7@NTH4G
