that hsbtual drinkers can find it, and do find 1t. 1t
Is remarked that drunken men are more commonly
seen than for several weeks past, and there is NO
doubt that great deal Of drinking is going al

breaking up :" and Fellow who had been kicked
out once and crept in again under the Canvas, and
was wanting to be appointed Scene Shifter, said !:
''Its n Cold Day for this Show when il gets left by
that Noble Animal the Giraffe. To say nothing Of
the Trick Mule" The Show, however, went on,
and the Giraffe and tho Trick Mule went away and
waited for the Manager to send for them. After
many days, curiosity To what would become Of
the Circus gave way to soleitude for the Giraffe and
Trick Mule.
A Committee being sent out learned that the Trick
Mule had hired out on the Tow Path, but that tho
Giraffe, having never done Anything Useful, sought
Employment in Vain, until Village Engine Compa-
ny utilized him n Fire Escape, in which position
