that this pretended 'Hippodr, me " is simply
the wreck Of that stupendous fraud known as
the Great Eastern aud Great Southern Circus
and Menagerie combination, which exploded at
Selma IA the 10th Of last November, a num-
Der Of horses having to be sold to pay the ex-
penses Of shipping the show TO this city, where
the prOprietors left number Of their en-
ployees unpaid ami penniless, and yamosed,
Who the real proprietOrs Of the business were
still remains a matter OF considerable mystery,
but il is generally believed that Andy Haight,
one Gibbons and George Weber and others
we're large stockholders The defrauded circus
men and others connected with the concern
finally obtained the aid of the law to compel
settlement of their just claims, and the whole
matter ended in the show being attached at
Hamilton, and in an auction sale Of the circus
property at Lebanon yesterday afternoon.
The best Of tue joke is that DeHayen
Weber, Gibbons and Others are about to re-
organize a Hippodrome out Of the "wreck to
start out with next summer on another tour
The whole show was rather poor concern,
only a few lions being in good condition. and
the menagerie including no really rare or valu-
able animals.
Our readers only have TO use ordinary caution
to discover which is the real and which is the
bogus concern, though we see that Mr.. Bainum
complains that some shows obtain an employee
named Barnum, and then advertise BaInum's
latest enterprise, and resort to other devices
wherein they use the name of "Barnum to
deceive the public He says that all exhi itions
with which he is connected will give his initials,

religious classes as well as by school teachers

What Admiral Semmes Saws.

Admiral Semmes has written letter
to the editor of the Mobile Register in
which he comments upon the proposal
of Alabama to take part in the Centen-
NAL. He declares that he resigned his
commission as an officer of the navy to
accept the service of the Southern States,
and that his vessel was beaten by sheer
force of numbers, and that after being
beaten "she was spit upon with con
tumely and contempt" He declares
that for Alabama to take part in the
Centennial would be humiliation and
degradation, n concession attended with
dishonor. He says that he is anxious to
have reconciliation with the people of
the North. At the same time, until the
stain is wiped out, the stain of political
Acknowledgement, no man of honor can,
in his judgment, consent to any such

Patent Medicines.

That there are some good patent medi-
cines no intelligent man dare for a mo-
ment deny; and pre-eminent is the great
California hero medicine, Vinegar Bit
tiers, discovered by DR.. J. Walker, a
prominent physician of San Francisco.
This medicine, although called bitters,
is not to be classed among the vile
"fancy drinks +" recommended and sold
over the bar by rum-venders, but is a
combination of pure herbalistic extracts,
known to possess sterling medicinal
qualities, and is compounded without
the use in any shape of spirits. It's &C
ton upon the internal system is not
stimulating to the extent that alcoholic
poison is, but it at once attacks blood
impurities, and by removing the original
cause destroys the germs of disease and
invites returninghealth. Its action upon
the stomach and liver render it an al
most certain specific in the most stub
born cGses of dyspepsia, and in truth
imparts new life and vigor to the whole
system 1t is o)e of the best medicines
ever invented,

Barr arian Display.

When the Shah of Persia visited the
Sultan of Turkey, the former fairly
blazed with, the diamonds which covered
his person. The Sultan, on the contrary,
did not wear single gem, but was
dressed very plainly. On the occasion
when the Sultan was to receive his guest,
the grand staircase and the corridor
leading to the audience room were, in
anticipation of the arrival of the Shah,
ordered to be laid with heavy Smyrna
rugs studded all over with diamonds,
emeralds, and sapphiros, so that the
Persian visitor was obliged to, tread
under his feet the evidences Of greatness
which he wore on his head and person.
The Sultan is known to have the finest
and most costly lot of gems owned by
any monarch in the world.

This celebrated Herculean labor Of
the Legislature, as we learn from a relia-
hla private source at the State capital, is
about to come to grief alter all the work
and oratorical expenditure Of breath on
the part Of the immortal nine" The
main feature Of the bill, we believe, is
taxing the losing party Of the suit with
jury costs. Our informant states hat it
is thought that Governor Porter will
place his veto upon it from the fact that
the proposefmode Of collecting the fees
will keep the horny.hauded jurors out of
their hard earnings 100 long, inasmuch
as they will have TO wait patiently until
the Sheriff collects the money under eE-

the subject, one of the most brilliant
