placed, and the globe was then
closed. Attached to the cannon
was a lever and at the end fuse.
A lighted match was applied to the
fuse. The Snowman said: "Bob,
come out and fire this gun.n A bird
came out of one of the cages and
pulled string attached to the lever
and the gun went off with bang;
at the same time the globe opened
and disclosed the little bird with
the white beak sitting there, in the
midst of cloud of smoke, as com.
posedly as parson.

THE CoCK-ROBIN'S FUNERAL.
After the Snowman had thus de-
livered himself, he produced a little
cart with a coffin inside and an
nounced that the burial of q cock
sparrow would take place imme-
diately. Calling one of the birds
out he ordered it to die, and the
bird accommodatingly laid down
on its back and turned up its toes.
The Hightalian then lifted the de-

a second bird, wearing the hat of a
priest, climbed up on a seat behind
the coffin. A string was then at.

Virginia City Chronicle.l
Professor GIacomo Galetti, the
man who for the past week has
been astonishing the inhabitants
of Carson by exhibiting number
of trained birds, arrived in Virginia
yesterday and gave an open.air
show on b street, near Justice
Knox's court room. The Professor
was accompanied by man with
an ACCORDION, who acted in the ca
pacity of an orchestra. The exhib.
itor began operations by fixing up
a little stand which had a projec-
ton extending about five feet, sup.
ported at the end by an upright
stick. On this narrow stage the
birds gave their performance, and
it was certainly one of the most
amusing and incomprehensible
things ever seen in this city. The
man has
TwENTY-SIX BIRDS IN ALL.
Kept in three cages. They include
several varieties, mainly cocka-
toos, paroquets and sparrows. The
cockatoos, five in number, were
confined In large and strong cage.
They all bore names. The largest
has an immense yellow crest and
answered to the name of" Grand
father.n The paroquets number
about ten, and were also in q cage
by themselves. The sparrows,
which are Of the small English va
riety, were in a lohg cage and each
had a separate apartment. The
performance began with the big-
crested cockatoo, who when called
for, came out Of his cage and passed
up and down the walk with an air
of much dignity.
A DRESS PARADE.
He was attired in soldiers dress,
and went through q series of evolu-
tions, marching slow or fast In ac-
cordance with the sort of music
furnished by sthe ACCORDION. Pres
emily the four other birds were
called for, but they paid not atten.
ton to the orders of the Snowman,
who grew quite indignant.
"Dead fraud!" said some one In
the crowd, and the impression pre-.
vailed that the fellow and his birds
were humbugs.
"Go to the house and tell them
to come out" said the Snowman to
"Grandfather," whereupon the
venerable bird waddled up to the
cage and rang a bell. Instantly
one of the birds opened the door
and the entire family came out In
line and filed to their places with
funny gravity, to the delight of
the crowd, which by this time was
becoming greatly Interested. The
birds then went through series of
marches, and gave drill exhibit
ton which caused a member of the
Emmet Guard to grow excited. A
little pathological gymnasium
was then erected on the platform
and the fun began. A sort of see
saw game was first shown. Two
birds took their places on the
"walkIng beam,n one at each end,
and third swung them by pulling
string with its beak. In obout q
minute the bird at the rope
showed signs of fatigue, and the
Snowman called to a fourth bird to
come up and help him, which it
did at once, and the two tugged
away together until they had or
dero to stop.

A cannon was next brought out
