"GENTLEMAN GEORGE"

United States Senator Pendleton is tldy.look-
ing professional man. slightly inclined to be port
ly, but with spare lady like limbs and feet and
harmonious features, gentle address, etperfeCt.
ly natural and frank, and eyes Of Intellectual
merrment, His eyes are almost clear gray, bright
without glttering, rather wide apart and when
he becomes serious and looks directly into your
eyes one of his seems to stand still and dilate and
the other to pull the trigger of it. He has fine
forehead, with good but not bulging perCeptves,
a rather short nose, gray goatee and brown rather
curly hair. His weight is probably l75 pounds,
and he easily gains upon the admiration and al.
most upon the affections, suspect that he owes
his substantial qualities to the New York Hunt
stock and that the uncontrolled Pendleton in him
might have run to pleasure. He is So years old,
the most popular man in the West one Of the few
men of breadth and polish in the Democratic par
ty, and socially its prince, He is without manner,
without artiice and underrated, because Of the
bond and currency issues with which he has been
unfairly identified. He is a conservative man
almost a rich one, and is now fr5e to proceed un-
terrOrized by demagogues, with six years of Sena-
torial life secured to him.-Gath in Philadelphia

A young man on South Poplar street owns a
"Pointer" dog, (nothing very grestin that though)
and he is for sale, 1--WE mean the dog} A party
stopped at the young mans house, per arrange
ment, to see the wonderful pointer Setter"
"Squatter," or whatever else he might be, They
were taken to the kennel, the owner giving glow
ing accounts of what Point could do. The dog
was united to show the party some of bis accom-
plishments, but just when he was expected to do
his best meat wagon passed by, and the dog,
shifting the meat from afar, pOise(r)d himself at
once for that wagon, and away he went. The
young man called, but called in vain; Point
would occasionally look back but that was all.
The young man rushed into the house for his gun,
remarking as he returned, that as soon as the dog
saw this he would come back, but no come back.
They finally started up street on the hunt of the
dog but too late, Point had taken the next street
for home, and when the owner returned found
him safe and snug in his kennel. or course this
valuable pointer" was not sold-not near so
much as the young man was,

DECORATION DAY.

Decoration Day was never so generally observed
before in Canton as last Thursday, and this seems
to have been the case all over the country. One
Of the most pleasing features Of the parade in this
city was the display made by the Cadets, who
marched in orderly manner and with soldierly
bearing Notwithstanding the rains in the fore.

uniforms and splendid banners gave a coloring
to the cortege which, together with the music of
the three bands in attendance served more vivid.

them come often.

GREAT LONDON SHOW.

Atno time in the history of public amusements
has any entertainment obtained anything like
the unbounded popularity of the Great London
Show, sangers British Menagerie, DoCkrill's Par
isian Circus and the famous .grotesque Mardi'
Gras Carnival and no show has ever received
such unqualifedy hearty endorsement of the
public prints Those people who remember the
Londons last successful and brilliant visit in this
section will not wonder at this,
It's return here on June 18th, 1878, will interest
everybody. The New York Herald, always chary
about notices of amusements, speaks as follows OF
the London Show in its issue of March 26th:
"The Great London Show which drew such
large crowds to sGilmore's Garden last fall, and
had Madame Dockrill among its chiefattractons,
opened again last night in the same place to a
house so thrOnged, that many people looking for
reserved seats, had to go away disappointed The
programme was varied one, and between the
performances of the various circus riders the
very humorous clowns, the hurricane hurdle act
by W. German, the bareback riding monkey, the
juggling equestrian act by Miss Pauline Lee, the
celebrated manage horse Ellington, ridden and
driven by r. H. DOckrill, the burlesque manage
horse by j. Kennebel, the audience were kept In
a continuous state of high strung excitement and
laughter Madame Dockrill, whose excellence as
bareback rider, driving four horses with the ut.
most case, and flying over hurdles four feet high
with daring that appears reckless in the ex'
treme, needs no criticism, as her peculiar talent
has simply to be seen to excite both wonder and
admiration. James Robson, the famous rider,
made his appearance .after an absence Of eight
years, and was received in his unequaled eques-
trianism with really popular outbursts of ap'
plause. His riding, like Madame Dockrills, is
beyond any comparative standard, and was done
with singular degree of ease and grace. Both
be and Madame Dockrill were the recipients Of
numerous floral tokens of the appreciation Of
their admirers. The performing elephants and
the collection of animals embrace every conceiV.
able attraction possible. 1t is a grand show"
