Barnum on the Road.

p. T. Barnum's Greatest Show on Earth
opened on the 8th of April, in New York, in the
vast building known as the American Institute,
for two weeks, and created an excitement which
no exhibition ever given in New York ever
created before. The press of the metropolis
are unanimous in their expressions of the most
favorable opinions of the show for this season,
pronouncing it better, larger, and in every way
more attractive than ever before. It's prominent
features are entirely new, and the whole ex-
hibition in remarkable for theSnumber of new
novelties it contains. The New York papers
are loudest in their praise of Zazel. Described
as a Young woman of remarkable beauty
of form and face, who has created
perfect furore by her remarka-
BILE performances, in which she crosses the
building on single wire 100 feet above the
ground, then climbs to the highest point of the
building from which she launches herself
headlong into space and rushes through the
air, turning somersault in her fight, and
finally landing upon net placed to receive
her, about ten feet from the ground. She is
afterward fred from the mouth of loaded
cannon and projected about fifty feet horizon
tally. The performance was the reigning sem
sation of New York, as it was formerly of Lon-
don and Paris. A yoke of performing oxen
are said to accomplish wonders, while Madame
Nelson with her trained doves, Madame Mar
tina. Miss Emma Lake, Mile. Leone, and host
of other riders, headed by the great Madame
Dockrill, go to make up circus company the
equal of which was never seen. The menagerie
and museum have also been much enlarged by
the addition of many novelties.
here on Friday, July 9th, one day only, and
will undoubtedly receive a warm reception,
as everybody will be DESTROYS of seeing the
many new wonders he has to show.

The future of st. Paul is a brilliant one
The opening up of vast reaches of the most
productive wheat areas of the world, the settle
ment of the great Northwest, with its rapidly
extending and increasing industries, all tribu-
tary to this town, insures it prosperity that
the people of st. Paul are just beginning TO

plete, and hereis to be great city, with all the
name implies. Her business men are shire Nd,
far-seeing, liberal minded. venturesome and
successful, and with a present population of
&c, COO it is not difficult to predict what the
next ten years will bring forth, The enterprise
of her people is wonderful. The public i'm
provements keep pace with the demands, and
her officials are wide awake men, up to full
appreciation OF the Significance Of the trusts
imposed. Some OF the best newspaper estab-
lishments in the West are here. The Pioneer
Press, Dispatch and GLOBE are all conducted
on sound business prin ciples, and by men that
can rot be excelled in business ability. The
editorial fraternity is made up of men of
sharp, incisive intellects extensive culture and
rarei literary attachments, and the columns of
these great dailfes indicate splendid talents, as
good as the best anywhere. The people of
Minnesota are proud of St. Paul, az they justly
should be. It is grand business center, pro-
missing the grandest results in all that apper
tains to great city making, The northwestern

great heart throbbing with the business i'm
pulses of vigorous people, scattered over ex-
tended areas and void of fungus growth, and
every impulse reaching out into new areas for
beneficial results. BEDFORD.

Timber steaung-scope of the House Bill

Timber Stealing-Scop of the House Bill.
WASHINGTON May 21.-The scope of the bill
for the relief of the timber thieves. which was
so ardently advocated in the House by
Southern men for the last two days, was made
very clear to-day by a letter from Gen.
Williamson, commissioner of the general
land Office. 1t appears that during the
last year there have been stolen from the
public lands 255, 100000 feet of timber, 2,225,-
900 railroad ties, ZIG, 600 cords of wood, 1900
cords of tan-bark, $1,000 rails, 265, 900 logs,
and that mqEe than 20, 600 acres have been thus
despo lied in Alabama and Florida alone. In
the course of the detection and suppression of
these acts of vandalism the interior depart
ment has reported 1,074 cases of
trespasses, and 4S4 suits have
been brought and are now pending. In
some cases it was discovered that mill COM
panies had employed from twenty-five to
seventy-6ve log-cutters constantly through
several seasons to steal timber from the
public lands. Yet the bill reported By
the public lands committee and
strenuouslys supported by the repre-
sentatives of districts in which most of
the stealing has occurred, proposed to grant
immunity to all the plunderers, whether prose-
cuted or not, to permit them to purchase the
land which has been the scene of their opera
tions for $l.25 per acre, Just one-half the price
for which, should the land be put upon the
market, the ordinay settlers could purchase it.
This proposition was made SO apparent by Con-
ger, of Michigan, and Robinson of Msssaohu-
setts and others, that an amendment proposed
by Robinson was adopted, and the bill passed.
The amendment restricts the operations of the
relief bill to persons who have taken timber
from the public lands for the ordinary pro-
cesses of clearing lands for agricultural pur-
poses, in working mining claims, for fire wood,
and for the maintenance of improvements on
land bona fide taken mp by settlers. The bill
in this shape grants no immunity to willful
thieves, but gives all needed relief to the
pioneer who has taken timber from the public
lands to assist him in starting new life on the
frontier.

Whatever his motives, the facts he presents

Whatever his motives, the facts he presents
seem to be indisputable.
The Congress that granted the charter was
not at all likely to inspire confidence in its
integrity. The Republican party was in a
large majority. There were a great many
suspicious jobs before it-railroad subsidies,
steamship subsidies, naval contracts, etc.,
and men who entered the House and Senate
poor emerged at the end of the session in
comfortable or affluent circumstances. 1t
was reign of corruption such as has seldom
disgraced the country, paralleled only by the
Credit Mobilier era. The lobby held domin-
ion over both houses, and procured pre-
cisely such legislation Eas best suited
them. No scheme was too wild to be favora-
bly, passed upon. The tariff was tinkered to
suit the spectators, the finances were tink-
cred to suit Wall street, public lands were
given away with the utmost prodigality, and
the public expenditures were increased to
an enormous extent. This Congress pre-
pared the way for the panic two years after
wards, and is responsible for the long years
of business depression that followed. The
pnblic generally will be prepared to believe
any charge that may be made against body
so utterly destitute of moral principle and
common honesty. There may be quite as
large cat in the bag as GeorgeSand Newell
assert to be reposing there.

The Chicago Tribune makes Grant and
anti-Grant table showing 276 Grant votes,
and 457 against him. The table is wholly
unreliable, and in many cases absurd. It
puts IA from New York and % from Penn
sylvania in the anti Grant column. It also
put in Minnesota in the same column.
Minnesota is for Grant, and the Tribune
shows poor insight by counting them as
they do. In spite Of the Tribune and other
snti-Grant figures the GLOBE sees no reason
to change its conviction that Grant will be
nominated with hurrah without formal
ballot for any one.

that he had been relieved of his charge, and
that the new call was accepted on condition
that the action of the church relieving him was

Whitney still remained as member in good
