marks which commanded the closest atten
ton OF all present. Another song
was sung after the Coils remarks
and then the meeting adjourned.
An incident that was amusing, but not
entirely without an inkling of sadness, pre-
sehled Itself to our circuit clerk, Alex. H..
irVin, yesterday. A young couple entered
ms Office in the fore part of the day in a
seemingly embarrassed state OF mind.
They were rather innocent looking young
man and rather good looking young girl,
about twentyone and eighteen years of
age respectively. After taking hurried
survey OF the office, the former stepped up
to the circuit clerk and introduced himself
as MIR. Walcot. lie stated that he was from
Iipton county, Tennessee, and that his fair
companion was from Memphis, Tennessee,
and was his wife; that they had been mar
RED about two weeks, had just arrived
here on boat, and that they wanted
divorce. To further questions from Mr..
Irwin the young groom said that it was not
he that wanted the divorce, but his wife,
who utterly refused to have anything what
ever to do with him. The youthful bride
affirmed this and added that she
had been forced by her
mother to marry her husband
and that she didn't like him bit "On
the way up here, on the steamboat" she
continued,"he threatened to throw me over
board ! was raised decent and | amt
agoin' to be scandalized in that way" The
young man explained that while on the
steamboat, bound for here, his wife refused
to talk to him, to walk with him, to sit by
him, or to eat with him, but persisted in
treating him as a stranger and his entreat-
les with silent contempt He lost
his temper little bit and told her
that if she intended TO continue
to treat him thus he would pick her up and
jump overboard-if he couldn't live with
her he would have the satisfaction of dy-
ing with her. Mr.. IRWIN told them that it
was not in his power to sever the bonds
that held them together, and advised them
to try again to become reconciled to one
another and to live as man and wife ought.
"Barkis was willin'," but ''Peggotty" posi-
lively refused, saying that there was no use
in talking, she just wouldn't live with him,
and thus they left the office together in
search of some one to lift from their necks
the yoke that had so soon begun to gall
them.

THE CIRCUS TODAY.
DON'T WAIT, But GO.

The children large and small will shake
their savings banks for the last time this
morning before making the final draw
upon their contents, and why9 because the
circus has come, and boys who have coun.
ted the weeks and days and then the hours
until the Ord of May with Dan Costello
should come, will think they have met with
the greatest trouble Of their lives if they
cannot beg or borrow the amouat necessary
to buy ticket, and who could blame them ?
when even boys with gray hairs, heroes of a
hundred circuses, would not for the world
miss the wonders of Dan Costello's greatest
organization, tie herd Of trained Durhams;
the handsome horses and the magnificent
riding of the champion riders of the world
To-day must be remembered as great day
to those who love the old fashioned circus.

SEEKER, SECURES ANOTHER PRIZE.
ROCHESTER,, N, Y, May 1.--Prof. Lewis
Swift, the famous comet-seeker and director
OF the Warner observatory, this morning at

Swift wins the 5000 prize offered in Janu-
airy last to any American astronomer who
should first discover any original comets

nection with the predictions of the end of
the world thisyear. He has no faith in
such vagaries.

The Great Show to be in Cairo Nav |

lne UTcul SHOW W De Ill IdlF0 May |.
The Milwaukee Sentinel, which is very
conservative, and very critical, and which
is always very economical in its praise of
shows, gives this tribute;
Burr Robbins Circus and Menagerie ex-
hibitcd at the corner Of Fifth and Poplar
streets, yesterday, to large audiences, after
toon and evening The animal show is
good, and the circus performance much
better than the average. The riding is all
graceful and daring, particularly that of
very pretty and noby young lady.
The swing trapeze and balance act
of another young woman, whose splen-
did physical development and modest ways
were alike noticeable, was more than good.
It is one of the best acts ever done in the
yring. All the acrobatic acts were also
commcndable. The entire performance
was devoid of the broadness and vulgarity
so common in circuses, and every individual
about the institution looked clean and
honest, and behaved civilly. In fact, such
an amount Of attention was paid to decorum
and propricty that one would hardly have
been astonished had the performance open
ed with hymn and closed with bene-
diction. There Is an absolute air Of fresh.
ness and dccency about the establishment
that commends II beyond all precedent
This afternoon and evening will close the
engagement.
