Orleans circus, 1henagerie, museum
and congress OF living wonders arrived
in this city between three and four q ].
clock Tuesday horning and by daylight
the working force was busily engaged
in pitching tents, and getting things in
shape for the great show. The wealth
er was all that could be wished for, and
soon after sunrise people began pouring
into town from all directions and BY
ten o. 'clock the sidewalks were liteTal-
" packed with people anxious to see
the elephant. :
Shortly after 10 O'Clock the process
sion moved from the show ground and
paraded through our principal streets,
and those that could not witness it
could tellits progress through the city
by the music of the excellent cornet
band and the steam piano, the latter
played tremendo ously loud, but harmo-
|niously the popular airs of the day.
Over one hundred horses were in the
proc and nearly thirty cages con-
tanning animals from all climes and of
all descriptions, besides the gorgeous
tableau car. representing old Neptune,
with the Goodies Of Liberty presiding.
The most striking feature in the pro-
cession, because the most fear inspir-
ing, was the den Of lions, with Geo.
Conklin bossing bhe ,brutes like they
were kittens, and Zingra, the serpent
tanner. Everyone that witnessed the
proc cession pronounced it equal to any
thing Of the kind they had ever seen.
The menagerie is very good and the
performance in the ring ditto. The
programme is long and varied, some-
thidg fresh and startling being shown
every few minutes, from the introduc-
toryscavalcade to the last act. George
Conklin, the lion tanner, gave exhibi-
tions both in the afternoon and even
ing Of his onderful bcontrol oyer his
lions.
The giants, Capt, NJ. v. Bates and
|lady, held receptions at both peri
ances and were the centre Of attraction.
From the short conversation we had
with them we were convinced that
they are educated and cultured people.
In regard to their gigantic proportions
they are ali that has been said Of them
and B. F, Weber, a chap 6 feet and
I214 inches looked like dwarf by the
side Of them. Everyone connected
with the circus have gentlemaply
bearing and no vulgarity is heard in Of
labout the establishment.

POE T r Y.
Written for the Press.
In My Memory.
BY A FRIEND.

IT'S not thy form or face OF feature,
That have made of you u creature
Fairer than all else beside;
But the switching, soul-entraneing
Of thine eyes, so modest glaneing,
That in mem'ry 'er will stride.
The tint, SO modest, .e'er enshrining
That. bout your face is G or entwning,
Fills me with bliss divine;
In my thoughts, through every moment
Beams your pretty face SO potent
To make of me slave Of thine.
On sweet memory's tablet golden,
In its embraces ever folden,
Painted is thy shining face,
Oyerspread with maiden smiling,
SO enchanting, SO beguiling,
That it never may erase.
For thee I d have but rosy bowers,
Fragrant with the sweetest flowers.
Along the road thy life may lead;
Happy all the sunlight glowing,
All its gifts on thee bestowing,
I'd wish thee for thy each 1ife-need.
Though our life-ways wide be sunderod.
Yet can never quite be piundered.
OF sweet mem ry-rhoughts of thee;
For ever cross my path soft stealing,
A lilly pure will be revealing
Pictures dear to mind of thee.

The good minister waited patiently, and
then in tones just shade louder than be-
fore, said:
The Apostle Paul

ry and Ben, pop, and stepped on clam

The pastor informed his sen that he
might stay away from the river, and then
rcsumiug bis topic. He said:
