posing exhibition ~ will be given on

Exposition. Its immense proportions
this year, are said TO battle description,
and it bewilders all ordinary mind to
contemplate the vast concern. Mr.. Rol-
inson is, no doubt, the wealthiest show
man in the world, and that he may not
be excelled by any one in the profession
he has this season outstripped every
former effort by making numberless ad
ditions to his Menagerie, Aquarium and
circus. The brilliant splendor of the
entire outfit is described as something
dazzling, and the press everywhere seem
loud in their praises of the gigantic en-
terprise, while clergymen, church mem-
bers, teachersand families have indorsed
it as an exhibition of unprecedented
merit. The street parade will repay a
days journey to witness it, and we ex-
pect people to come to it from miles
around. Do not fail to see the grand
exhibition, and remember il will be in

DYNAMITE.

BY reference to our exchanges we
observe that this is the Centennial year.
For the very poetry of motion, You
needn't look at boy jumping rope.
There has been a deal-a great deal
said about trials and troubles of mar
ried life, yet no man with a howliDg
baby in his arms, can walk. down the
aisle in a crowded theater, and feel at
the same time that there has ever been
too much.
A Toledo girl had one of her old shoes
flung from second story window after
a newly married couple, and it struck
and broke the back of mule.
Don't spare even a spoonful of your
brains" says Kentucky paper, and as
We look over the columns of the Nor
walk Chronicle, we can't help but OBJ
serve how near such an action on the
part of its editor would exhaust the
supply.
In the one hundred years of our inde-
pendence, We have learned it all. Or if
we haven't quite learned it all, them
foreign cusses know better than to come
around with the view of teaching us the
rest.
The height of our ambition Just at
present is to hold u brief interview on
the back stairs with the playful idiot
who saturated our chair cushion with
ink the day we wore our light colored
pantaloons
81 would follow in the footsteps of
our forefathers," said young man in
the hearing of his girl. He has been
married just year now, and if he is
following the example of our forefathers,
We want credit for being the first to
chronicle the fact that George Washing
ton used to sneak up the back stairs
nights, in his stocking feet, expecting at
every corner to meet Martha with the
mop stick.
Man and wife were they,
And in the household fray
The liege lord held full sway
With arms extended.
When from her deep eyes, brown,
Fire flashed; and with frown
She up and knocked him down,
And there it ended.

AMERICAN SYMPATHY WITH FRANCE VIM
DIcATED.--At recent sitting OF the Council
General OF the Department OF the Vaucluse,
a member spoke in opposition to the pro-
posed subscription for the monument to be
erected by the Franco-American Union, as
serting that Americans showed ingratitude
toward France during the late war. The
Project refuted this assertion, and recalled
the fact that during the late war he was Pre-
feet OF Dion, and in the presence ofinvasion
ne received a delegation OF American citizens,
who handed him 100000 francs for the sick
and wounded. Subsequently other delega-
tions OF Americans brought him additional
subscriptions, altogether more than 9, 900, 900

"a LION AT LARGE "a STIRRING STORY.
All the New York papers Of Saturday morn
ing, and the Philadelphia papers Of Saturday
evening, contained thrilling accounts Of the
escape of lion at Brooklyn circus, and
how, after nearly tearing woman to pieces,
it was recaptured. The Brooklyn argus
OF Saturday evening says:
"The story about "A Lion at LARGE
printed in the Eagle last night, was a fiction,
and the editors OF that paper published it
knowing it to be false in every particular.
No more deliberate hoax was ever circulated
in any community. The falsehood injured
the proprietors Of the circus, and they de-
nounce the stupid and vicious sensation in
unmeasurcd terms. No lion has been loose
in Brooklyn, but some donkey is evidently
having full swing in the Eagle office. The
Sun, Tribune, and Herald, who were misled
this Saturday morning, will probably
think twice before they again copy alleged
news from the Eagle."
