The principal objection with many to the
cultivation Of barley, is the trouble iii har-
vesting and curing. It is not pleasant

bound. This, however, we should never do.

to the best portion of the amusement public
They say in their semihumorous, but intensely
earnest way, that every thing about their estab-
lshment is strlckly first-class and classical. p"
SO In a sense everything is. The street-parade
yesterday was pronounced by competent judges,
who having grown gray in watching street.
parades, the finest thing OF the kind ever seen
in this city. The entertainment under the
canvas was noticeable for the rigid exclusion
from it OF everything approaching vulgarism.
There was not feature Of the show that need
have brought blush to q maiden's cheek
One ofthe clowns, Ben Magnify, actually speaks
the English language f1uently, and the other
two, who are less elegant in their speech, are
never low or tiresone. All of them possess
the rare merit of modesty they CONSIDERABLY
keep themselves out OF sight most OF the time.
The best part OF the show is the riding, some
of which Is wonderful. Mr.. James Melville is
the daring" rider, his son Frank the grace
full and accomplished" nder and his little boy
Alex the phenommaly interesting and cum
ming rider. Then there are Mile Dockrill,
who rides four horses at once ; her husband,
many others. a group Of jumpers furnish
another interesting part Of the programme.
They turn double somersaults over elephants,
cames, hurdles, or anything else that happens
to come handy. Two OF them, VIM. II. Batch
elder and VIM. Worland preform the astonish-
ing feat OF jumping with two somersaults over
five elephants and camel in a single leap.
Much amusement is derived from public illus
tration OF the manner in which boys are taught
to ride. The subject OF instruction is tightly
strapped in leathern ierkin, and by means OF
revolving crane is kept in pretty close prox-
unity to the galloping horse. The sight or one
OF these boys sprawlng in the air, with all his
extremties moving at once, vainly clutching at
the flying steed is not to be soon forgotten.
There are the usual acrobatc and gymnastic
exhibitions, five performing elephants, trained
tigers. hons, and animals of all sorts. The
menagerie is unusually full and interesting.
The band should not be forgotten Its music is
much less excruciating than that which Is ordi-
narily provided by similar organizations. The
circus is in every respect what Its managers
represent 1t to be.-Chicago Tribune.

EDITOR TRUE NoRTHERNER:
AS my eyes were scanning the local colum ms
OF your paper at Dowagiac, they we're arrested
by the item in regard to the grangers losing
81 800 by the three card monte men, who are
associated WITH the circus the Cass Co. Repub-
lican recommended so highly, and denounced
for their gambling gang after they were gone.
1t lie evident, by repeated demonstrations, that
the travelling show is always accompanied by q
horde Of dishonest men, whose profession is
to impose npon innocent persons and get their
money. The intelligent public, knowing this,
enquire il there Is no remedy. We know OF
one which the city OF Niles, (be it said to her
credit, has adopted for several years. which
was to place the license so high that no com.
mon show could afford to pay 1t, and during
that time Niles has prospered. The Republic
can asserted that Dowagiac was the only pay
ing town in which Forepaugh had showed for
eighteen days Are the people in and around
Dowagiac such dolts. such consummste fools,
that they rush with one accord to see every
dres sed up monkey that happens to have g big
name? / dare affirm, il the Republican had
used as many words IN warning people against
the influence Of this show, as it has since used
in derison Of those who were taken in by the
three card monte men, some might have been
saved both money and modification, but we
frequently find, like paper like people, and in
asmuch as the reading public are moulded by
the literature to which they have access, which
in too many cases is only the County paper
but we like the Republican, and do not wish to
blame it too harshly, as it has generally stood
up for the right. If those persons who lost so
mnch money, were all patrons" the grange
has not yet accomplished its mission, nor will
it, until its members learn the cut Of sound
rel's coat.
