deceptions 1t contains, as is the case with nearly
all travelling shows 1t is noted for its real worth
and genuineness and the great number OF really
marvellous features 1t possesses.
The menagerie part OF the exhibition Is the
finest by far ever seen In this city. The animals
were not selected with the only intention In
view Of having something with which to "fll up"
but because they were rare curioSiues in the an.
imal kingdom, gathered from the four quarters
OF the world, All Of these bear the appearance
Of being well fed and cared for, and their keep.

who readily furnished such information as was
desired concerning their charges.
The circus performance was frstclass In every
respect, and contained many new and startling

They were each presented to General Tom
Thumb and wife, Chang the Chinese giant, to
many Of the performers both ladies and gentle.

attractions Of the side show. The stable Of fue
horses was inspected, the domestic department
where the men are fed, the dressing rooms, all

funeral took place on the 25th and the whole
"tGy, far and near, including all classes were

poems, though not long and labored works Of art,
are yet rich in thought and full Of originality and
portraiture true to nature and to truth. Robert
Burns was the poet Of the heart, the poet Of ma.
ture. He was lowly born and struggled through
life with noVerLy and toll. Not to him came gold.
