A Circus in Distress.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
The grand display of Howe's Great
London Circus and Menagerie on the
Citadel Green will not soon be forgot
ten by the youngsters who saw it, and
the announcement that the big show can
come again no more will fill their child
ish hearts with grief. The entire
exhibition was owned by the manager,
Mr.. Henry Barnum, and Mr.. Kelley, a
banker of New York. Mr.. Kelley fail
ed the other day, and thereupon job
printing house that had been doing the
placards, posters, show bills, &c, for
the travelling exhibition, sent after it
mond county, Georgia, for an account
of $32, 900, which is a bigger printers
bill than is ever heard of in these parts,
except against the State of South Caro-
lima A claim of SO, 900 was also put in
by an attorney for the United States
Rolling Stock Company, corporation
which had furnished the two trains of
forty-two cars on which the concern is
transported over the country. The debt
to the employees, at the time of the
seizure was $40, 600, and with other out
standing claims made the whole amount
of indebtedness about 100000. There
are about 40 horses and ponies, five
elephants, and tigers, lions, hyenas, sa-
cred cows, chattering monkeys, and
birds in profusion. The original cost
of the circus and menagerie in London
was $3.50, 200. OF course, like every
thing else, the property has deprecated
in value, until at present, even under
more favorable state of affairs, politi-
cally, it would not bring more than one
half that amount The whole affair is
in the hands of the Sheriff, and he is
taking care Of it at an expense Of about
$500 day, and it has been ordered to
be sold at the end of ten days. If it
should not bring as much as $52, 600, it
will become the property of Mr.. Reiley
and other claimants.

OF The night, and thought that his
companions were still around him.
at the outpost in the valley; but
soon the recollection Of what had
happened dawned upon him, aud he
began to look about him, and TO
wonder how he happened still to be
alive. The problem was soon solved.
He found that he was lying at the
bottom Of a fiissure among the rocks,
about Ten feet deep and three or four
feet wide. Some vines were grow
ing over il, and it was upon them he
had jumped, when he thought that he
was planting his feet upon a bed of
moss. The Indians, on emerging
from the thiclket. had evidently faiIed
to find the unconscious fugitive, and
supposed him to have reached the
wooded land, d few hundred yards
distant. How much further they
went in search of him will never be
known.
The fall had stunned the seargentl
and cut cash in his head, but he
was not seriously hurt. He soon
gotup, climbed cautiously out upon
the face of the earth, saw that no
enemies were about. and started for
the camp of the army, which he
reached in safety. and related to his
comrades, who were about TO start in
in search of him, how he had been
t'saved by accident

She brought new life into the house,
The little, prattling stranger,
And, John, she binds you to your home
Who might have been a ranger.
Once every chair was in its place,
And not thing awry, John.
\ ct we two, sitting face to face,
Would often breathe sigh, john;
But now upon our ample board,
Is daily placed between us
A picture plate and porringer,
From loneliness to wcan us.
While she, our little baby queen,
With eyes so like your own, John,
(The brightest, bluest ever seenl
Eats with MS on her throne, John.
Heaven guard our precious little one
May angels fair, that brought her,
Protect from every threat'ning i'll

The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1877-02-07
Home.

A home is q arefuge-place from the
storms, the fret and worry of life.
1t is place where the husband comes
as TO sanctuary, where smiles and
loving words answer his smiles and
loving greetings. 1t is a place where
the wife reigns in her benignity aud
grace ;uot. it may be, the grace of
outward beauty or CIVILIZATIONS. but
of true womanhood, where she re-
ceiyes honor and love even as she
gives them both. 1t is place where
children are happier than any where
else in the world, because there are
the cheeriest words. the brightest
looks and the kindest acts. Such
are not the majority of homes as we
find them.
