This mammoth show has come and
gone, and we doubt If the oXchequer o.
The concern Is much fuller than when
II arrived, The great expense incur
red here, and the enormous license
charged, prevented any great margin
in their favor The street parade was
very good, but we would suggest that
the next time when they dress up their
property man to appear like an eastern
snake charmer, that they see he is
shaved clean, ~ sandy beard OF a
weeks growth, badly coincides with Il
long straight haired black wig, and il
the snakes were u little livelier. II
would look better, The impression
created was, that they were stuffed,
besides the mandril, or monkey was
hardly gifted by nature for the ele.
waited position he occupied on top of
the cage-"pull down his vest"
We visited backgrounds, and found
everything alive. The show spreads
the most canvas Of any on the road,
Crowding into the menagerie tent, we
were struck at once by the sight of the
great amphbious animal tn sea lion,
taking it easy in his big tank. His
black coat Shone like satin. He is a
fine specimen, The only live one we
ever saw.
Passing along, we found u tiger
snugly ensconCed in the cage of the
tapir. We concluded that the tapir
was out visiting. Three little baby
camels were the center of attraction,
and altogether the menagerie was
good, our old friend, the mandril, at
tracing much attention, together with
the box Of monkeys.
A blast of bugles sounded the grand
entree, and we took our seat, in some
very com Portable chairs, carpeted, and
resembling an opera seat. They are a
great convenience. The performance
was most excellent-in fact, We think
it is the best that has visited our city.
The LeClaire sisters, in their oontor-
ton acts, were incompatible, and the
Snow brothers were very fine. In
catching on the fly they beat any base
ball club we know of. Their posturing
and acrobatic business was excellent.
The clown was funny. The riding
good, and what was better yet, the
total absence OF pad acts, which are ms
old, and as easy a. sliding down hill.
The show is first class, and we can
recommend it TO our .neighbors in
other towns.

A WoMEAH's l'RIENDsHIP.-It is
woundrous advantage to man, In
evero pursuit or vocation, to secure
an adviser in sensible woman. In
women there is at once a subtle del
icacy of tact and plain Judgment
which are rarely combined to an
equal degree in man. A woman, ii
she be really your friend, will have a
sensible regard for your character,
houor and repute. She will seldom
COUNSEL you to doa shabby thing, for
a women friend always desires 10 be
proud of you. At the same time, her
constitutional timidity makes her
more cautious than your male friend.
She, therefore, seldom counsels you
to do an imprudent thing. a man
best female friend is wife Of good
sense and heart.
