JOHN RoBISsoN's CIRCUS Our FAREWELL
RESPECTS John Robinson's circus, in its
visit here, entirely fulfilled public expecta-
ton, and was rewarded by patronage that
has been accorded no other company for
years past. 1t is quite refreshing to meet
with q concern of the kind that faithfully
fuIfills its promises and carries out to the let
ter all the people are led to expect from its
advertisements. All this old John Robinson
did and no wonder bis enterprise was
crowned with extraordinary success. The
exhibitions given in this city drew immense
crowds. Many country people came twenty
five miles to witness them, and about half of
our population, at one time or another, was
sheltered by his vast tents. All were pleased
with what they saw, and no grumbler dared
raise his voice where the verdict was so
nearly unanimous and so overwhelming.
The menagere is not as large as others,
reckoning the number of animals, but what
is far more important il consisted of rarer
and coStlier specimens than any we have
lately seen. Every portion of the animal
kingdom was represented, and every conti-
nent was laid under contribution to furnish
il. The ring performances were all
excellent, and were conducted with so much
propriety rs to win special praise. A great
feature of the circus was the number and
beauty of the trained horses. They were
not of the lean kind, but, on the con trary,
by their sleek coats and plump appearance
testified to kind treatment and the care taken
Of them.
The riding was as good as c1n be seen any
where, and we can say no less OF the trapeze
performances, tight-rope walking, and vault
ing. There were two clowns, and both were
funny, and their jokes were fresh and tho.
roughly adapted to the thoughts Of the day.
TO grown people generally the stale jokes of
the clowns and the insipid utterances of the
ring-m mar all the enjoyment of the
circus In this instance the reverse was the
case.
We part with old John Robinson with re-
gret. His big elephant, spotted horses,
numberIess ponies, beautiful grafles, ugly
rbinoceros, shaky y-looking ostrich, and other
wonders of the menagerie, and the grand
pageantry Of the ring. and glittering ban.
ners, and gaily caparsoned horses, and brill
liuntly coStumed actors have left deep i'm
preston upon the minds Of the girls and
BOYS of Richmond. They will talk of these
things by day and dream of them by night
for months to come. And the old folks
impressions, will not willingly let perish
from memory Johu's grand exhibitions, and
they give him hearty farewell and kind
wishes for the future.
The tents were all struck last night, and
from here this company will go to Farmville,
Lynchburg, Portsmouth, Norfolk, Suffolk,
Blacks and Whites, Reidsyile, DanvlIe, Pc
tersburg, and then Greensboro, n. c., and
other points in the South.

other hand, many wel-wri!ten book,
worthy of high place in popular favor, re-
mains upon the booksellers shelves. dust
covered for years, only because its title wins )
no notice and no one takes it up, and OF
course no one can see its value through its
cover. What is true of books is likewise
true of lectures, and Rev. Mr.. Hiden seems
to know it. The lecture he intends to de-
liver before the Young Mems Missionary
Society of the Second Baptist church to-
morrow night must be q good thing, for the
man who could give it such an attractive
name as ''The Cosmopolitan Bug" must have
genius. The natural inquiry suggests
itself. What is Cosmopolitan Bug!
That's "what no fellow can find OUT with
out hearing Mr.. Hiden's own explanation,

United States, we beg your attention.
Since the panic OF last september and
the foods OF June, our people at the cry
Of help have given their fortunes 10
those Of the South. The cotton season
is here, aud with a war the crops would
be ruined and devastation would stalk
through the land. greater monetary
CONFUSION would come upon ths West
than before We beg that c0nciliatory
measures may be adopted by the govern
ment, or at least, that more time may be
given iu order that q peaceful solution
Of the di6eulty may be reached.
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1874-09-21

Messrs. HiIlenbrand & Pollock, the
popular proprietors Of the White House,
No II Madison street, fully understand.
ing the times and the custom Of other
cities, have determined to reduce the
price Of drinks from twenty FIVE cents TO
fifteen cents These gentlemen well
know that the best WHISTLES. wines, ETC.,
can be furnished for this amount, and it
will leave a good profit for the saloon
keeper. Why Memphis saloons should
charge twenty FIVE cents for drinks, and
for the same liquors that are sold at
fifteen cents drink in all other cities,
has been one Of those mysteries that no
fellow has been able to find out. The
White House men will set hot lunch
every morning for their guests. Go to
the White House imme diately. IS t
