HowE's LONDON ClRcUs.-Spcaking
OF this Circus, the New York Dutlv
1efeg'"m says: "This magnificent
exhibition seems 20 have al extraordt-
nary firm grip Oh the public, and it's
success this season bids fair to surpass
even that of last fall, when tho attcnd-
ancC was unprecedented Since the
opening night the house which has q
seating capacity larger than any place
In the city, has been literally packed
with delighted men, women and chill
dren, and the applause has boon onthu-
siastic and spontaneous. The verdict
of every one is, after sitting through
this superb entertainment, that such
an exhibition as that given by the
Great London never had its equal on
this sidc Of the water. Everything
seems singularly neat. Tho acts fol-
low each other in the ring with enter-
taining rapidity. The jokes of tho
Irish and French clowns strike ono as
rofreshingly now; the music by Rob-
inson's Band Is wondrously we'll se-
lcctcd, and tho entire performance is
unique and grand, Tho visitor fails
to discover anything lacking in the
entire entertainment"

GOVERNOR HAnIPToN's CONDITION .---
Concerning the physical condition of
Governor Hampton, the Columbia
Register says: "The anxiety Of the
public to know the exact condition of
Governor Hampton is quite natural,
and deserves to be gratifled. Through
our exchanges and from private
sources, we learn that there has been
great apprehension throughout the
State In regard to his, recovery, be-
cause ofthe meagre statements as to
his condition in the newspapers hav-
ing daily access to correct information.
We beg to assure the public that
naught has been concealed, and that
rumorsof discouragiug nature are
unfounded. His wound has healed as
rapidly as tho severity Of it's nature
would permit, and there has boen no
unfavorable { symptoms other than
were expected by his physicians at the
outset. Any untoward change in his
condition would be made known
promptly, and in the absence
Of direct statements to that effect, the
public may rest assured that his condi-
ton Is satisfactory, If that term can DO

considered intlanger Of losing lifo
or limb, while he is still q great ,suf-
feror,"

The Torpedo Business.

The recent foil Of Russian bonds is doubt
less to be ascribed to the late warlike
symptoms as well as to the present Wig
in the torpedo market q circumstance which
recalls one OF the most characteristic episodes
Of the Paraguay-Brazilian war. On Its first
outbreak, an enterprising Spectator offered
his services to the Paraguayan government,
of course for handsome eonsideraton-in
blocking the advance Of the Brazilian feet up
the river by means Of torpedoes. This done,
he instantly sent word to his partner in New
York to come down at once, and offer his ser
vices to Brazil for the removal of the said
torpedOes, whose whereabouts was to he In
dictated by specified signal In this way
the one partner continued to, plant them, and
the other to pull them UP, during the whole
OF the four years war; after which, these ex
emplary men, having earned upward Of $780,
900 by their united exertions, wound up by
selling the still unexploded torpedoes to the
government OF Nicaragua.

The characteristic "Oliver Twist" OF Pagan,

series of Of drawings Dickens, while paying
some sketches In portfolio. When he came
to that one which represents Pagan in the
condemned cell, he studied it for half an hour
and told his friend that he was tempted to
change the whole plot of his story, not to
carry Oliver through adventures in the coun-
try, but to take him up into the thieves den
in London, show what his life was, and bring
Oliver through it without sin or shame
Cruikshank consented to let Dickens write I'D

A French cook named Paguette set out from
village on the upper Ottawa, ten days ago,
to walk to Gatineau Point through the snow,
having supplied himself with provisions
enough to last him several days. He pro-
ceeded quietly ON his Journey for the first day.
bnt on the second binding snow storm
came on, and he lost his way. At the end sof
the third day the provision bag gave out, and
he had not the slightest idea Of his where
abouts. On the seventh day he had grown SO
weak that he WAS unable to walk any further.
He lay down in o Snow bank aud made up his
mind that there he would have to perish He
had been there but few minutes when q
horse and cutter came In view, and he had
barely sufficient strength left to hail the
driver. He succeeded however, in tho end,
and 1t turned out to be priest, to whom he
told his story. The good father drove him to
the parsonage and gave him something to
eat. The priest left him alone at the table
whilst he went outside to look after his horse
and when he returned, found Paquette lying
on the floor writhing in agony. He had eaten
too much, and died before physician could
be summoned -.l
