In reviewing book on this subject,
by Thomas Frost, the 4ca0CmU picks
out these facts about English circus per-
formers: Circus life is not very different
from the larger life outside, and these
versatile individuals often lead but
sorry existence until they rise out OF the
ruck and do something different from
their companions. They must astonlsh
in order to live, and those that astonlsh
the most will make the best living: SO 1t
has been with Van AmburSh, Carter,
and other "lion kings with Leotard
Blondin, and other gymnasts. Managers
are sometimes hard put to it for a nov
city, and their attempts to obtain one
are often laughable enough. Wallet,
The clown, and Pablo Fanque, the
negro rope dancer otherwise William

was so far a success that two verltabl

him at the stage door they were told tina

THE PIANO TUNERS STORY.

"You are pair of precious young
fools. and that's the best | can find to
say about you :" said Aunt George.
Her name was Miss Georglana Ander-
son but the wcet abbreyiation " Geor-
gle" was never used to her rs soon
might oue think of venturing on famil-
iaritics with abishop! Everybody called
her "Annt George ;" and, as she walked
with Il measured, heavy tread, like
grcnalior, the name didn't seem at all
inappropriate.
She WAS Lizzic's Aunt Gcorge-not
mine. And she had brought Lizzie up
in her queer, downright fashion, never
giving har kiss or caress or al en-
doaring worl yet withal being kind to
her after her own way.
[ wish | could describe Lizzie Ander-
son to you as she really was. A little,
dimpIcd, b!uo-cyed creature, with long,
shady lashoS, and a shy way of looking
at you, like child ; a girl whose voice
was low and tljito sweet, and who moved
about quietly and noiselcssly, like
sweet spm 6 wind rustling the flowers.
And only eighteen, too that was what
aggravated Aunt George the most OF all.

thirty ~ said Aunt George "but you
young people can't be contented without
rushing hea,Ilong into the vortex. 1t
would be different if you were rich; but,
dear mc!" and she rubbed her nose per
plcxcGly, "Joe is nothing on earth but
poor lianoforte tuner, and you haven IT
one solitary penny Of you own, Lizzie.
"We shall be very economical, Aunt
George" Lizzie answered, cheerfully.
"And you'll have to be, answered
the old lady, grimly.
It is my intention to oe perfectly frank
With tue reader I shall not disguise
from him the fact that | had, in our con
ndential talks, asked Lizzie If she
thought Aunt George would doanythine

shaking her brown curls i'll most de
ciled fashion. "She always told ne
never to expect anything from her ano

There was no getting over these two
facts, taken either together or sepa
ratcly.
"There's one comfort, Lizzie, said
etoutly; "we are young and strong ant
brave-hearted, and well not ask aid o
anybody"
"Of course we won't, Joe, said Liz

Ranking in the United States.

An approximate estimate of the num-
Der OF persons directly interested as
officers and shareholders in the national
banks OF the United States would prop
ably surprise most of our readers, even
those who are themselves includcd III the
number. These banks are about two
thousand-2,0 0Oi Mt the date of the CON
troller's last report. OF officers and dl-
rectors they have not less than twenty
five thousand. Of shareholders it would
be safe to say that there are million
and a half, and probably many more.
Besides these, the dcpositors and note
holders are hardly less directly inter
e3ted, and of these no estimate can be
formed. On the second of last October
the deposits reached about $3.50, ,OOO,OO
the notes exceeded 1888, ,OOO,OOO, the
combined amount being nearly ,2oo,
OO0, ,O0O This enormous interest Is dlS
tributol in every State, and we believe
in every Territory, Of the Union, and l
is obvious that the influence Of the bank
is almost universal.

The Pilgrims of the Plains.

They climbed the rock-built breasts OF earth'
The Titan-fronted, blowy sleeps
That Graded time Where freedom keeps
Her flag of whito-blown stars unfurled,
They turned about they saw the birth
OF fsudden dawn upon the world.
Again they gazed they saw the face
OF God, and named it boundess space.
And they descended and did roam
Through levelei distances set round
By room. They saw tho silences
Move by and beckon saw their FORMS
Tneir very boards, ofttime in storms,
And heard them talk like silent seas
n, unnamed heights black blown and brown,
AID torn like battleueIts Of Mars,
They saw the darkness come down,
Like curtains looscned from the dome
OF Gods cathedral, built of stars.
They saw the snowy mountains rolled,
And heaved along the nameless lands
Like mighty pillows, saw the gold
Ofawful snn4cta saw the blush
or sudden dawn, and felt the hush
or heaven when tho day sat down,
And hid his faco in drrky hands
Then pitched the tent, where rivers run
As # to drown the fallen sun.
The long and lonesome nights the tent
That nestled soft in sweep Of grass;
Tho hills again3t tho armament
Whcrc scarce tho moving moon could pass
Tho cautious caInp, the smothered light,
The silent sentiaet at night
Tho wild leasts howlmS from the hill :
Tho troubled cattle belowinS
The savage proNllns by the spring,
Ghcn sudden iaseiug swift ard still,
Aud bended ~ q bow is bent.
The arrow sent the arrow spent
Ant burei in its bloody place,
The dead man lying on his face
The cloud. of dust, their cloud by day,
Their pillar of uniaijmg fire,
Tlc far north star. And high, and HI 5hor-
they climbed so high it seemed eftsoon
IAat they must face the falling moon,
That like some iiamo-lt ruin lay
Thrown down before their weary way.
They learned to read the sign o. SloiilS'
The moons wide circles, sunset bars,
And storm provoking blood and flame
And like the Challean shepherds camo
At night to name the moving stars
And in the heavens pictured forms
Ol beasts and fishes of the sea
And marked the great lear weariIy
Rise up and drag llis cliullng Chain
OF stars around the starry main.

A Terrible Leap.

A correspondent OF the row YORK
World, writing from the Catskill noun
tains, says: On tho verge of one OF
these rocky terraces looking down on
plush like forest thousand feet below,
stood hale old gentleman, with straw
hat in his hand and his white locks
streaming on the breeze.
GA long leap, that" he said, with a
smile, as L bent over.
"Aye, indeed, sir :; tempting leap
l.,r suicide. Only that bed OF green
'.''oaks too soft to bruise limb or break

81 came up this mountain fow win
ters ago." said the old gentleman,
"when the snow was very deep and a
hard crust was frozen on tho surface.
That's the time to climb the Catskills.
My companion was an old resident here
abouts-boyn here, in fact. We walked
ND that peak yondcr with less fatigue
than now feel after getting mp this far
He told me that a suicide actually did
take place here when he was lad, and
he related the circumstances.
Seeing my interest, the old gentleman
went on:
"lt was young woman-a young
English woman-who had arrived III

and who, after serving some months III

was as good as adopted into the family
and treated in all respects as an equal.
Once in about every fortnight she re
ceivel q letter, addressed always III the
same handwriting, but post-marked a
different places in the West and South
These letters were understood by th'
farmer and the family to be written b,

place of travelling agent for New lorl

How He talked TO Him.

A lightningrod man assaulted berhs
county farmer with the cloqucnce OF his
tongue, and tried to drive a bargain.
He told the bucolic gentleman that the
next storm might sweep him away
"Well," replied the farmer, call I've
got 10 say is, let the storm come, and let
her sweep. We've been living in that
house nigh ON thirty years, and We've
slept under the real old storms ana
thunder and lightning that bounced us
in our beds, and up to now have come

A writer in the PtrCnO1OgicaI Jo"fn0l
SAYS, in referring to a conversation held
with student, he spoke of the astonlsh-
ing effect the study of the Chinese IAN
euage had had ON the shape Of his fore
head. Over the eyes and nll along the
region Of the porceptivo faculties there
seemed to be built on layer OF bone q
Quarter of an inch in thickness, and
about half or three-quarter3 Of an inch
in width. "You see," said he, " the
study of the Chinese language calls into
exercise only the perception and mem
ory. Instead of one or two nasal sounds,
as we have in our language, they have
thirteen, and it is the most difficult mat
ter ut first for an Americant to distinguish
between them" Then he gave examples
of these different nasal sounds, but to
my uneducated ear they seemed quite
alike. "For eighteen months, he said,
"we did little but study the language,
and daring that time my forehead
changed wonderfully in shape. 1t usee
to be smooth like yours, and uniformly
developed, but this great ridge here
spoils the shape Of it and the hats
used to wear will only rest on the top o
my head now.
