The Show IO-mOrrOX.

The Atlanta Herald says of Howe's
Great London Circus and Sanger's Men
agerie that.will exhibit here to-morrow:
1t exhibited to an immense ard delighted
audience in Atlanta, yesterday afternoon
and evening This paper only gives ex-
preston to the general verdict that this Is
by long odds the best, most complete and
most extensive establishment of the kind
that ever had enough ability and enterprise
to visit the State of Georgia. This very
| excellent combination of first class amuse-
ments is owned and managed by gentlemen
who value their reputation, and they have
been particularly careful to put forth no
| statements of what they proposed to do
which they we've not a~bundantly ample to
perform to the letter. The four thousand
people that crowded the pavilions of
Howe's great combination yesterday, will
all bear witness that Col. /. X. Ioole, the
general director of the publications, has
been sithin bounds in all that he has to say
on the subiect-in fact he could have said 4
great deal more in extolling the merits OF
this great show, and still preserved his
well-earned fame as one OF the most relia-
bic, trustworthy and business-like advance
agents that it has ever been our pleasure to
meet.
The manager is also a thorough gentle
man, understands his business and gives re-
markable tone and etficiencyto his company.
The grand street pageant of Howe's Great
London Circus, Yesterday afternoon, by its
splendor and magnitude, formed an event
| which few have seen equalled in any city
it was immense, and won the warmest
encomiums from every one who say it, and
it was probably seen by every one in the
city and by thousands ION the surrounding
country. The procession was nearly a mile
in length, and was made up Of an array OF
attractions which of themselves were worth
a good price to see. 1t will be impossible,
in our limited space, to particuiarize the
various features of this street pageant.
Those who witnessed it will bear us out in
the assertion that it was the grandest ever
seen in this city.
Not only the m~enagerle, but also the
circus. is worthy the patronage OF our peo-
pie, as it delights, interests and entertalns
in a manner at once proper and elegant.
In, fact, we neither saw nor heard anything,
during the entire arenic exhibition, that
could offend the feelings of the most re-
fined or modest lady. The clowns, three
in number, were jolly, rollicking fellows.
whose wit was as liberal in expenditure as
it was liberal in its character.
The general management OF the entlre
establishment is systematic and business
like. From the manager down to the
lowest subordinate there is a quiet gentle
manly demeanor utterly at variance with
our pre-conceived ideas of circus men,
No drunkenness, nor swearing, nor bolster
GUS conduct or language is heard from any
of the attaches. Take it all in all, il is
one of the finest and most complete affairs
of its kind we ever Witnessed.

The Career OF Andrew Johnson.

This statesman and patriot has passed
AVA, but his deeds will live after him.
What a commentary is his fame on the
advantages OF an American citizen! Un-
lettered and unaided, relying upon himself,
he advanced step by step from the lowest
station in life, to the highest office in the
gift of the American people. All this
was accomplished by answering integrl-
ty. dauntless courage, and persevering re-
search. By the exercise of these principles,
it is in the power of any poor and friend
less boy to attain the same grand result.
The same success is attainable in the COM
mercial world as in the political, as is
proven in the case of DIR. TUFTS Standard
Preparations. He, conscious of their val
lie, labored patiently, and to-day no medi-
cine has taken so firm a hold on the public
estimation as his Liver Pills. They stand
on the topmost round Of the healing lad

There is no town in the State that has
n better class of business men than ours. Our
merchants, especially, are thorongh-going
gentlemen, and conduct their business upon
the strict principles of Integrity. They
sell their goods at the most reasonable prices
and give the farmer about as much for his
cotton as it would bring in New Orleans.
No place on the railroad can offer greater
inducements to purchasers than Brook
haven. Everything our people need can
be had here, and at bottom figures. There
is considerable competition among the
merchants, and while goods can be bought
at a slight advance upon cost, the best
prices can be obtained on cotton. We
would here advise our country friends to
bring forward their cotton, as there is no
prospect for an advance in price. Moth
ing can be made by holding cotton back.
For the past few weeks the receipts have
been light, compared to last year, still the
price does not advance. Bring it to mar
ket. purchase what you need, and help to
make times better.

THE CRISPLNs' STRIKE.

The strike OF the Crispins was continued yes
terday, with no better result than on the pre-
vious days. The cutters meet daily, and deter
mined not TO return to work until they obtain
their regular prices, t24 per week, and also until
they all return in n body. The men stated yester-
day that Mr.. Burt had offered $50 per week 20
several OF those on strike, but as the ofIer was
given to each individual man, they refused. stat
ing that they onlNwanted $24 per week, and any
Individual acceptance OF position in Burts saop
would tend to break up the society.
The men seem TO have an impression on their
minds that the bosses are determined 20 break
mp their society ana rather than see this e1ected
they will hold out throughout the winter They
are confident, however, mat great change viii
