ing summer with another colossal show, and
which is immensely to eclipse anything IN
that line be has hitherto attempted. The
following, which We fad in the American
Register, published in the city of Paris, Feb.
18th, will give some idea of the sort OF prepa.
ration Barnum Is making tor the coming
season:
Mr. Z. r. Barnum, whose renown as a show
man is world. wide, short time since sent
agents to Europe to purchase novelties for
his American Hippodrome, also TO make ar.
rangements for travelling through Europe
with q vast collection of wild animals and
cui osities of every nature. Pun chases have
been made for him from Herr Hagenbcek, of
Hamburg, and from the Geological Gardens
0: London, Berlin and Amsterdam, an emu
meraton of which would take up too much
space, but the importance of which cannot be
too much dwelt upon. In fact, the transpor-
tation of his animals will require more room
than could be given upon two steamers be-
tween deck. From Mr.. James Myers, the
proprietor of the Great American Circus IN
this city, Mr.. Barnum's agents have purchas-
ed SIX of the magnificent Trakene stations,
which Dir. Myers at enormous cost obtained
from the stud of the Crown Prince of Ger
many. These animals are singularly well
trained and unequalled for beauty OF frame
and action, and will attract great interest in
the United States, where such performance
as theirs has never been witnessed. They
march, trot, at TIE word Of command; they
wheel lstt or right with the precision of
trained soldiers. \ word suff1ces for these

a blunder through the most complicated fig
ures with a dash and grace charming to wit
ness. In addition to the above attractions,
Mr. Barnum's agents have also purchased
traiaed horses and ponies from the Messrs.
Sanger, London, and will thus have rendered
the Barnum Hlppodrome the most complete
and attractive Of places of amusement. To
Mr.. Myers alone Mr.. Baruum's agents paid
over 400 000fr.

Edlo,s Free Trader--Once more We emerge

genial rays over the broad prares, making
All nature look gay, and may add, rejoice
for the past winter has been the coolest We
have ever experienced in Texas, in consc-
qurnce CT which stock ralsers have suffered

heavy cotton crop, while the wheat is any
thing but fattering; and the young grass
hoppers are as thick as the blades Of grass
IN many places, threatening destruction to CIV.
crything within their reach.
We had quite serious fire in Waco few
days since, in the burning of the market and
opera house, dwelling, and the First Baptist

Mr.. Mills, from this district, was the only
Texas congressman that opposed the electoral

governor for Texas; and had they all stood

graced the White IIonse; but, alas! they,
like Esau OF old, sold their brthright for a
mess of pottage, and to-day their foul deeds

The republicans are very anxious 10 have AZ.

Did they ever hear of ShCrman's bummcr's
game of scven.up for Il chickca: \ legal
citizen had just come into camp and dispOs-
cd of sll his chickens but one For that he
could find no purchaser. The hummer in
question offered to play the loyal citizen a
game Of scvon-up FOR il. The proposition
was accepted, and, after a tremendous strug.
gle, the hummer turned n jack from the bot.
tom of the pack and won. The loyal citizen
paid over the stake, mounted his mule and
rode away, but returned almos, Immediately,
and with the air OF one seeking enlIghtmont,
said: you played Il mighty good game. and
the chickens yours, but what | want to know

The old, old story, as told by TIC editor oil
the Wheeling, w. Va, Register: "The gas
bill for this Office during the month Of Janu.
ary was thiriy.nine dollars Then we paid
S2.01 Ter 200 feet. For the month OF Febru-
AIRY, which has but twenty.eight days, our gas
bill was fifty.iTe dollars and eighty-nine
cents, and that, too, in the face of a reduction
of iortyfiTe cents on the 1900 feet OF gas con
sumed. An increase of nearly seventeen dol

A. fond mother when the day is DER,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led
And leave his broken playthngs on tn

Nor wholly treasured and comfortcd
By promises Of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may no

So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthinSs one BY oLc ny one anu y.
Leads us to rest so gently, that we 20

Being too full OF sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the VIVA

HIN THE CHUEcnYARD AT TARRYToWN.
Here lies the gentle humorist, who died
In the bright Indian summer OF his lame!
A simple stone, with but date and name,
Marks his secluded resting. place beside
The river that he loved and glorifed.
Here in the autumn OF his days he came
But the dry leaves OF life were all alamo -,
With tints that frightened and were multi
Pied
How sweet a life was his: how sweet death!
Living, to wing with mirth the weary hours
Or with romantic tales the heart to cheer;
Dying, to leave memory like the breath
or summer full of sunshine and OF show
A grief and sladness in the atmosphere.
nI.-HLIoTs OAK.
Thou ancient oak whose myriad leaves are LOUD
With sounds Of unintellgble speech,
Sounds as of surges on shingy beach,
Or multitudinous murmurs OF cfowu;
with some mysterious gift OF tongues endowed
Thou speakest different dialect 10 each;
To me language that no man can teach,

For underneath thy shade, in days remote,
Seated like Abraham at eventide
Beneath the oaks Of Mamre, the unknown
apostle OF the Indians, Eliot wrote
His bible in a language that hath dIcu
And is forgotten, save cy thee alone
w-ruE DESCENT OF THE MUSES..
Nine sisters, beautiful in form and face,
Come from their convent on the SHINING
heights
or Pierus the mountain Of delights,
TO dwell among the people at its base.
Then seemed the world to change. All time
splendor Of cloudess days and starry
nights,
