Probably more unhappiness is caused
III the world by the anxiety of men and

terial reward of recognition or praise is

Talk about your hotel beats, said
II clerk of one of the hotels of the city
the other day, Il heard of one of the
toughest cases which happened Il short
time ago. | got the first part of the
story from the proprietor of Il promi-
nent restaurant, to whom the fellow
told history Of the affair before he
skipped out of town. He said that one
evening this fellow came in and sat
down to table giving his orders with
the air of n millionaire. He was nicely
dressed, and wore long handsome
ulster. After he had finished his sup
per he started out, seeming to forget
that he hadn't paid The proprietor
stopped him with reminder Of the
tact, when it was found that the fellow
was beat, and hadn't a cent ofmoney.
The restaurauteur was angry and about
to administer dose of leather beneath
the tails of the elegant ulster when the
fellow begged off, and said he would
leave his pantaloons with the proprietor
as security till morning The gentle
man iii order to test him, consented,
and the fellow went behind the screen
and Invested himself of the afore-men
toned garment leaving only the light
covering of his underclothing. With
his ulster buttoned close around him,
he still had the appearance of II finely
dressed gentleman with his pantaloons
stuffed in his boot tops He left the
breechcs and went out. Entering 4 GER
tain prominent hotel, he walked to the
register entered his name, demanded
to be shown to his room and instructed
the clerk to have him called at So'clock
in the morning. all of which was com
piled with but when the boy called him
the air Of that room was blue with pro
family and the fellow ordered the boy
to send the landlord up Immediately.
The landlord, thinking something terri
BILE had happened Immediately repaired
to the room and found his guest APP
parcntly in Il terrible rage He wanted
10 know what kind of Il id house they
kept there full of petty sneak thieves,
Just look here. said he, my panta-
looms containing my pocket-book and
watch are gone, and some one connected
with this house took them, for they must
have crawled in over the transom, !
tell you 10y =, Tllgive this place away to
every man on the road The landlord
was considerably chagrined about the
matter and sent out for n pair of
pantaloons. and rs the rest of the
clothes were very elegant, an elegant
pair was purchased The fellow
was then taken to breakfast and
shown the best attention the house
could afford. After breakfast the Ian
lord gave him so. IL he had u leave
Immediately, and promised to leave no
stone unturned until the thief was dis
covered The cute young gentleman
went 70 tho restaurant, redeemed his
pants, told his story, and skipped the
town about $3.50 ahead.

This circus is too well known to re-

it has exhibited the press has spoken
in high terms Of the performance.
Among these notices we find the fol-
lowing in the Danvillc, Va, Ncws:

circus going in Danvillc We have never
seen SO large a crowd as that in attend
ancc on John Robinson's Circus, and
with "n visiting acquaintance nearly

seen better and moro entertaining
show. With all tha finest features Of
the Grcciam and Roman arcnca, this
exhibition combines also the attrac-
tons which we modern dcnizcns of
the world delight in, and presents q
programmnwhich is simply irrcsisti-
bly, attractive. 1T is not to be expected
in a hasty notice Of the performance
such as we are obliged to write for
our evening edition that we should
make a critical review of the cXhibi-
