Early during the past winter several
circus managers conceived the invasion
of the New England states, each eli
deavoring TO monopolize patronage by
the organization of company larger
than the other, which we must say was
an exhibition of good Judgment on their
part, as the people are always sure 10
patronize the largest and the best. OF
course, each manager, jealous of his ri
val, was soon apprised of the others
movements, and put forth, as the emer.
gency required, new exertions to Guido
his neighbor. For several years past
Mr.. John O'Brien, a wealthy Snowman
and animal importer, has had an enor.
nous sum invested in circuses and me-
nageries, sending out each year, in diff
ferent directions, three, four, five and
as high as six companies at one and the
same time, making the one bearing his
own name larger and better than all
the rest, and managing the same in per-
son. BY experience he has learned that
the show under his own management,
no matter how successful and profita.
bic the others were, always made the
most money. This fact, and the efforts
of rival managers TO outstrip him, caus.
ed him TO merge all his six shows IL
one for the season of 1877, and with
this formidable combination lac takes
the field, confident that if one-sixth OF
his present attraction pleased the pub.
lie, the entire six shows must give sat.
isfaction in an increased ratio; for
while he presents six times the number
of animals and six times the amount OF
attraction IN the ring, there Is no In.
crease in the price of admission, which
remains the same as that asked by the
smaller shows travelling the country

nal. priests, and the other three cardi-
nal deacoDa. The new cardinals of the
order of priests are the following:

HydrOphObia.
a REMARKABLE STORY OF THE DISEASE
AND THE MAD STONE.
NJ LON tlle Hartfarl gaunant.E

a correspondent, writing from Tariff
vile, says;
Speaking DE hydrophohia, brings to
my tInind aH incident in this village.
Some fifteen years since, d. mad dog
made its appearance on the premises Of
Ariel Nicholson, Esq. and hit his two
dogs, which were subsequently killed
by their owner. al short time after
three of his oxen exhibited symptoms
OF hydrophobia, and IN a few days died
in gresNt agony. One of his horses was
also taken sick, and was sent to Neal
Logan, the blacksmith, for medical at
tention. In forcing some medicine into
the horses mouth Legan's hand was
wounded by one Of the teeth, The
horse died, and of hYdrOplobia without
question. Logan became very much
distressed about his wound, and applied
70 Or. Ensign for assistance, but no
remedies reached his case, and finally,
i1r. f1nsign advised him to- 90 Ia a GER
tam planter, who lived near Richmond,
Virginia, and apply 10 his hand the
& healing stone which the ulanfar had
often used In curing snake bites on his
negroes.
Logan got as far as Washington,
where he was seized with conyuls;ons
and was apparently near his end. hnf
he revived aud was with some difficulty
carried To Richmond by b friend who
accompanied him. There he had no
difficulty in ascertaining the residence
of the planter, and the magic stone,
after being maistened with water, was
placed on the wound. where it stuck
fast for about half an hour, when 1T
dropped of. The stone was put into d
Gsln OF Watef, and the water feamed
like d glass of soda water. The next
day he applied the stone again, and ID
remained on his hana about ten
minutes the next day it would not
stick ait alI. Mr.. Logan lived for twelve
years after this affair, ana Ie firmly
believed that he saved all those wears
BIZ his trip to Virginia.
The ConraHt eiitoriaiiy says; Mir.
Mitehelson is wei known IN this cfty,
being a director of the Charter Oak
National Bank, and having business
relations With many citizens here.

A Hundred Years Old.
[New Orleans Times.

New YORK, April Capt. Frederick
Lahrbusll, aged III, is dead.
This brief announcement tells of the
end of a life which has been a marvel
of the time.
It has been believed that under well
regulated conditions of body and favor
able surroundings, any person might
with proper care, attain to the age OF
one hundred years.
The comparative average of longevi-
ty has not received much attention in
America. While there are very few
persons whose right to be called GEN.
t%agenarians can be satisfactorily proven,
still there il no doubt Of the proIonga-
ton of human life far above the period
of one hundred years. The best au-
thenticated case, perhaps the oldest man
known to modern times, was that, of
Peter Csartan, a Hungarian peasant.
He was born in 1889, and died in 1924,
aged 185 years. The celebrated Dutch
philosopher and physician, Van Oven
furnishes seventeen well authenticated
instances of persons who reached the
extreme age of 100 years. He says
these are all whose ages can be proven,
which are known to 0aF time, Bailey,
another writer on longevity, gives sew
erui hundred cases of ages above 100
years.
From all that can be ascertained, the
natural length of human life has varied
hut little ID the pest 40 centuries. Since
the deIuge the years of men have grown
fewer. The oldlnt post-diluvian was
Shen, who died at the ago of 800.
Abraham live&ns75 years. Joseph ITO.
TT il one OF the s0ange lacks OF modern
science, that nothing is known to it of
the caases by which unusual longevity
occurs.
Capt. Frederick Lahrbush was born
March 8, 1865. In appearance he was a
most remarkable man: He did not seem
older than seventy to the essuat0bseryer
Ills whole appearance was at variance
with such q marvellous age, Au@One
time il was doubted if 10 were so old,

BEE KEEP1NG-PRoFITs AND RISK.

f KEEPING-PROFITS AND RISK.
Bee keeping is as safe as any farmers
investments. Then as to profits. I
would like to have any one show me
the legitimate business chat will
uniformly double and treble and qua
druple the amount invested, as bee
keeping is proved to do by actual sta
tistics. Another objection: There is
no cash market for bee products in any
great quantities. Is that so? Adam
Grimm, of Wisconsin, and Mr.. Quinby,
Of New York, both recently deceased,
kept 1900 hives each for many years,
and put honey into the market by the
ton, never failed by selling for cash, all
in a lump, to say nothing of the
thousands of men, and women, too, in
Michigan, Minnesota Wisconsin and
Ohio, who raise from 500 to 10, 900
pounds every year. Ask Mr.. Harbinson,
of California, and many others in that
State, who raise honey by the ton, and
send it off to the great markets by the
car load, if they ever failed to sell for
cash and big prices? Extracted honey
is so-estimes a drug in market. Nice
white comb honey, in section or glass
boxes, always sells quick to wholesale
dealers, at an average price of % cents
per- pound.
