The magnificent parade and sew

day by thousands of people, were the
finest ever seen in the city From be-

never presented to the people of this
city under canvass thst in any way
compared with this The gorgeous
pageant. with the golden chariots and
richly dressed ladies' and gentlemen,
the herd of elephants and cage of
hyenas, with a man riding fearlessly
with them, rendered the scene one that
will never be forgotten. The tents
were immense in size, covering two
blocks, and at all Of the performances
were crowded with living beings. Fully
5000 attended them, and we have yet
TO hear of dissenting voice to the su-
perior excellence of the entertainment.
. Everything was arranged so nicely,
and the programme was carried out so
smoothly that the public wondered how
such an army of performers could be
controlled, Everything announced On
the bills was carried out exactly as rep
resented, and the management secured
the warm approval and endorsement of
every one present There was such

and sometimes two teams distributing
garden vegetables through our city at

Early Rose potatoes from which he
has supplied the market for three
weeks past, sending frequently loads
to Stevens Point and Wausau. About
3.4 of an acre is in tomatoes nearly
ripe, another IA acre is appropriated
to pieplant, ani I-2 acre to early peas
which is now growing melons. A
separate spot of about 8 acres is also
cultivated producing every variety Of

WORTHY OF CoEsIDERATtoN.-It is not al
together certain that the receiyabiIty of
coupons for taxes did not save Virginia In
1873 from commercial crash that would
have crippled her for years. And it is not
altogether certain that our people can do
without the coupons now. These coupons
are currency. One ten.dollar note at each
place where the county treasurer appears to
collect taxes passes from hand to hand and
does the work OF several. JONES buys ten
dollars worth Of coupons from SMITH;
SIXTH pays the money to BRowS; Brown
pays 1t to JOHNSON; JOHNSON buys more cou.
pons from SMITH; and so it goes. But this
is not all. The funding act is calling the
bonds home. The number of bondhoIders
residing within the State is constantly in.
creasing. Every county that buys these
bonds will hayea current of money running
into the county as well as out of it. And
poor as our people are they could afford to
buy all Of these bonds In the course of q few
years.
