Van Amburgh's Great Circus and Me.
nagerie.

The second days exhibition of the
mammoth show was offered at the Cita-
del Green yesterday afternoon and even
ing. At noon street pageant furnished
sport for the penniless boy and ragged
urchin. A fine open street parade and
exhibition would be all that this class
would behold. They missed rare OPP
pOrtunity that, perhaps, they will
never again have the opportunity of
witnessing. The thousands who were
packed beneath the commodious tents
can testify to this. They do not regret
having, gone-having seen and been
pleased. At the matinee show the
school children, with books in hand,
turned out nobly, and mothers with
their little ones were plentiful; fathers,
too, were there At night another large
audience was attracted, and they were
all fully paid for the trouble. 1t would
be useless to attempt to enumerate the
hundreds of attractions, and to record
the many pleasing episodes of the per-
Torrance. Sebastian, the Italian bare
back rider, in his marvellous feats tran
sported the audience. Miss Lowanda,
in her riding, her skill and grace, was
received with the most hattering APP
plause. Little Charley Watson-the
boy of ten years-of wonderful skill,
power and preservation of mind, in his
daring bareback feats is deserving of
special mention.
Foster, the humorous clown, he who
keeps the boys in a constant roar of
laughter, will long be initiated by the
urchins. We could go on and enumer-
ate many more who deserve praise
the menagerie is still more attractive:
there is the immense elephant, who de-
YOURS 500 pounds of hay, three bushels
of corn and seven bushels of oats daily;
the three healthy lions, who are fed be-
fore the audience with large cuts of
beef; the rhinoceros, who eats his daily
tub of rice and milk; the Australian
tram bat, the only one in America, is
fed on nuts. The popularity of this
animal is that, when vexed, he coils
himself up like an adder, and looks like
huge football.
The RhinOceros has taken great fan
cy to the artesian water on the Green,
and he can't be given enough. The Al
ligator's fancies, also, are captured by
the water. and she drinks and washes
freely The agent states that by all the
animals under his care, with but few
exceptions, corn is devoured freely
The expense of running this show is

Art Exhibition.

Mr.. EDITOR: Suffer few words
concerning the Waterloo Art Associa-
tons work We went up to Waterloo
the other day for the express purpose
of examining the collection of paintings,
engravings, &C., on exhibition at the
rooms Of the Association, and was high
ly pleased and amply repaid. Four
large rooms are filled with varied pieces
in the line Of the fine arts, chiefly oil
paintings, loaned for the occasion; some
OF the finest coming from Chicago, 9th
ers from nearer home. Every piece on
exhibition is meritorious. A few only
can be mentioned. .
In Terra Gotta we noticed particular
ly Birth of Cupid" owned by G. G..
Gilman, and, we suppose, executed at
Eldora. This is quite successful re-
production of the marble piece which
many saw at the Centennial exhibition
In house decorations, interior, there
were some very fine pieces, which would
undoubtedly be particularly charming to
the ladies who might see them. Of col
ored crayons, Lake Fugerne," by Miss
Freeman, was particularly noticeable.
But among the oil paintings one might
revel for hours. Among the pieces we
marked were the following: "Adiron-
dacks," by S. G. Collins; Moonlight in
Tropics" and Cascade Canyon" by H.
A. Elkins: Florida" by Fl. Freeman,
and "Gulnare," the heroine of Byron's
"Corsair." This latter piece is one of
the finest on exhibition " Gulnare is
drawn lifesize; the piercing eye, COM
pressed lips, dramatic posture, cleaning
dagger about to be plunged into the
heart Of the sleeping Pasha, together
with the splendid figure of "Gulnare,"
all cOnspire to make the painting one of
the most marked in the collection. OF
course we saw Velasquez' painting,
THE Boar Hunt" done some two hun
dred years ago and over, but the subject
is OF little interest save, perhaps, to
spOrtsmen.
Chief among the entire collection is
Elkins Thirty Eighth Star" This, as
the catalogue describes, is typical pic
ture of the thirty eighth State admitted
into the Union-Colorado AS may be
imagined, the scene is grand, even sub
lime. Far off in the background push
ing above the clouds, into the clear sky
beyond, appears the mountain peaks,
grand and glorious in their eternal soil
tudc: Much of this lofty height is lost
in cloud-land; but emerging at length
from the mist and cloud, one beholds
grand panorama of mountain ranges
towering on either side of the head wa
ters of the sun-lit valley Of the Arkan-
sas. The picture is valued at $4,000,
and is triumph of genius. Every citi-
zen of Independence should see it.
We congratulate the ladies of Water
loo, both upon their taste artistic and
the success of their Art Exposition.
Why may not Independence do some
thing of this kind? INDEPENDENCE.

Succulent Tid.bits from the QuasquetO1
Vines.

We have received communication
from some one on eats" soliloque
that is supposed to have taken place al
the postoffice at Independence. AS the
writer of it has not given us their name
we are unable to publish it.
We notice that Winthrops legal
prodigy" has not evacuated" his Gran
ium in yet, and wonder why?
On Tuesday last, Mrs. Vines and us
had few words and parted. She, in
company with her younger sister, Miss
Ella Parrot, took the cars at Indepen
dence for West Union, where she ex.
poets to visit a few weeks with hel
friends and relatives. We are now left
a grass widower-poor and lonely, but
Where she leads will foller,
So help me aunt Sophia Jane,
For when she gets thar,
She'll tell 'em I'm a comm too.
One of the Quasqueton churches hav.
ing engaged new pastor, Vines improves
the occasion to throw in few mora
reflections, as follows:
When church parish needs christian
shepherd they should know who they
are about to employ, and if that person
IS q stranger they have right to ques-
ton has integrity. I'VE are glad the
church has done this, and have received
convincing proof to them that they have
got a young gentleman endowed with
these christian virtues; young MAJ
energy, perseverance, good will and for
titude, who will not retreat while a gun
is being fired in the rear.
The italics are ours.

THE FOURTH.
A Glorious Celebration Arranged.

We have not space this week to give
full particulars for the coming celebra-
ton in this city on the above day, but
we can assure our readers that the cele-
bration will be one of the largest ever
held in Independence. The committees
are hard at work, and are meeting with
good success. 1t is contemplated to
have prizes for infantry and cavalry
drill, and fire companies, thus assuring
large display of military and fremen.
Hon. w. G. Donnan has been selected
President of the Day, and W. A. Jones
Chief Marshal. We shall try to give
the full plan next week. Meanwhile
let every citizen Of the county prepare
to come to Independence on the 18th.
