A Toy Circus.

Ingenious Contrivauce for the Young Folks.
Enrich Brothers "Christmas window "
on Broadway, New York, has an cxhibi
tion called "Thc Dolls Circus " TO ac-
commOdatc the show, which contains no
less than 4. $50 dolls and occupies a space
% feet deep by II wide, the window has
been carried back for some distance into
the store. First there is the tent, a real
canvas one, with its two poles surrounded
by a double row Of gas gets for evening
illumination. Around each pole is a ring,
made for all the world like the genuine
circus ring, and in them arc men and
women dolls on horseback, doll clowns
and ringmasters, and doll bareback riders.
The rings are connected with an endless
rope, and arc turned by crank below the
floor. The audience OF dolls, clothed in
all manner of briSht-colorcd dresses and
fancy costumes, occupy tie seats which
fill three sides of the tent outside of the
ring. They are supposed to be intcntly
watching not only the performers in the
rings, but the circus procession,
which makes its appearance from an
opening in the rear Of the tent. passes
around both rings and files out through
u second opening at the back. THIS pro-
ceSsiOn consists Of several chariOts; and {:
number of cages Of animals drawn 10y
horses, a sledge drawn by four reindeer
q clowns cart drawn by rabbits, an ele-
plant and two baby elephants, and numcr-
GUS horsemen, camels and gayly dressed
horses. 1t is just long enough to reach
around the rings, and its rear guard does
not disappear before the vanguard appears
again. The procession is moved i'll the
same manner as the rings, by IN endless
rope. The rope fits in 4 groove, and all of
the procession, excepting tho wagons, is
attached to it. The same crank beneath
the floor moves both the procession and
the rings. Beside the audience there is a
band stand at one side and a uniformed
band, who arc supposed to bc playing.
The platform of the window has been pur-
posely raised to enable people to see from
some ways back on the sidewalk, and a
bar has been put up in front of tho viii
dow, inside Of which only children will bc
allowed. The whole window is brilliantly
illuminated by an electric light.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOV. 30. 1881.
DE Woes December.

The Now Jersey Prophet Tries His Hand
at Forecastins the Weather Again.
A. d. De Voc in New York Sun.
November has nearly passed, and the
weather has closely resembled my FORE
casts. They have had very severe weather
and deep SHOWS west of the Mississippi
valley. 1t has been very mild in tho Mid
die and Eastern states. Our rain storms
have been warm, with southeast winds.
There have been heavy storms in Canada.
December will enter more like spring
than winter. The prevailing winds will
be south and southeast. The weather will
be exceedingly changeable all the month.
The 1st and I'd will be clear, the Sd and
4th heavy rains followed by strong north
west winds. The next morning heavy
white frosts, followed by warm rains.
There will not be four clear days in sue
ccssion during the month. There will be
a snow storm on the 22d, with cold blast
for few days, probably skating on tho
small ponds but the indications arc that
there will be no skating on Central Park
till after the Is. of January, 1882.
The storm belt will gradually move east
ward, and there will be snow blOckades
near Chicago on the 18th, 25th and Goth.
There will be floods in Ohio and Pennsyl-
Vania on the 4th and llth.
Southwest gales will be severe along the
coast off tho Eastern states on the 4tb,
9TH, 18th, 18th and Goth.
Heavy northwest gales will occur over
the West Gulf states and Texas, with very
cold weather for that section.
There will DO heavy rains. with cold
northwest winds over the East Gulf states.
This month will bc the coolest for that
section of country.
Mr.. Vennor promised the people OF Can
ada spell of Indian summer during De-
cembcr. But they had better lay i'll All
extra stock Of coal and have their snow
shovcls ready, for they will need them
Indian summer never follows wet weather.
In tho states of Michigan, Wisconsin
and Iowa the weather will be very cold
with frequent snow blOckades.
Some time ago a prominent gentleman
of Chicago sent me this question: How
can person foretell changes in the
weather without the aid Of the telegraph
or scientific instruments? l will give a
few rules:
1. When you see a bank Of thin hazy
clouds along the northwest, and it is clear
over the rest of the heavens, then the
wind will be from the southeast on the
morrow, the temperature will rise, and it
will rain in less than forty eight hours.
9. When there is a dark ring around the
sun there is 4 storm forming to the south
OF you, and Oh the morrow tho wind will
be from tho northeast, with snow.
3. When the sky looks very black
and the stars shine unusually bright, a
storm will advance suddenly from the
southeast: beginning with snow, followed
by rain.
II person living i'm any section Of oul
country can cite an instance when these
rules did not operate rs have stated
shall be pleased to hear from him.

STATE Senator w. r. Barrett,
whose name has been very freely used
in connection with alleged corruption
in the passage of the 1908 act, has
gone to Nashville and volunteered to
go before the grand jury aud tell all he
knows. There has been some talk
thathe %ould turn States evidence but
this is mere rumor. This much is
known, he had an interview yesterday
morning with Mr.. John D. Brien, one
of his attorneys, and then went to the
courthouse and was formally introduce
ed to Attorney General Washington.
After hal be went to the Capitol and
was closetcd with friends beyond the
reach Of a reporter, who sought him.
There may be something in all this;
possibly Barrett knows but little after
all. He admits that he drank freely
at the expense of both sides while the
100 bill was pending. He claims,
however, so his attorney states, that
be never accepted auy brides to vote for
the 1908 bill but does not disclaim any
knowledge Of brides having been
offered. He insists that he went to
Nashville a poor man and came away
in the same condition, and that he is
poor yet. The Attorney General does
not propose to shield any one in this
investigation, but will protect Barrett
il the event he turns States evidence.
1t is a very difficult matter to prove
corruption in q case ike this, as there
are rarely any witnesses. and the
guilty are not likely to own up. The
public mind is strongly impressed
with the idea that money was used to
secure the passage Of the 1908 act,
but it may never be proven.

Lafayette in Milledgeville. The offer
has been accepted, and the antique

by the antagonism Of certain news

to prevent the success Of the EXPOSE

to it. Absurd stories about high

cause for complaint, generally speak

Rafael JOseffy travels with no less
than 4 pianos and a tuner an outfit that
should be sufficient, one would think,
for even so great an artist as this
young Hungarian is reputed TO be.
First Of all, he has the large grand
used at the concerts; next a large up
right which he uses for daily practice;
third, a dumb upright piano, designed
for practice at very early or late hours;
and fourth, a small dumb piano re-
sembling a reed organ, which he takes
with him on the railroad or steamer
for practice while en- route. At any
rate, the existence ofthese four pianos,
and the use 10 which they are put,
shows how necessary incessant prac-
tice is to the pianist who wishes to
maintain that hexibilty Of finger so
essential to execution.

ECUMENICAL CONFERENCE.
Bishop McTyeiFe Gives an Ac.
count Ofthe Great Meeting.

Nashville Banner, 10.l
The pulpit of the Vanderbilt chapel
was occupied by Bishop McTyeire
yesterday morning. The audience
was pleasantly entertained by a de.
scription Of the Methodist Ecumeni-
cal Conference, which lately met 10
London. This Conference was a meet
ing Of all the Methodist families for
the purpose of discussing future
movements and to review work done
heretofore. The meetings were held
in the City Roads Chapel, built by
John Wesley. The edifce was large,
but not Of sufficient capacity TO admit
all, so it was found necessary to issue
Ia limited number of tickets. The
body, for convenience, was divided in
to two sections, the American portion
called the Western Section, and the
European Section called the Eastern
Section. The delegates from each
section numbered two hundred. The
Southern Methodists were allowed
thirty-eight delegates. At the open
ing OF the session the Lords Supper
was participated in with a great deal
Of interest and devotion. The Presi-
dent OF the Eastern Section, as hosts,
made an address Of welcome which was
responded to by three prominent men
Of the Western Section. One feature
OF the body was TO appoint a business
committee to which all matters we're
referred before being brought into the
Conference; this was to prevent any
discord. There were four topics dis
cussed during the day, except Sunday
afternoon which is regarded as a gem
eral holiday in England. Among the
subjects before the COME renee we're
Sabbath keeping, temperance, and a
great many others, but all Of these
with addresses delivered will be pub
lished in a six hundred page volume.
Right sentiments and Christian feel
ings we're encouraged by the Confer
ence, and all realized more fully the
union which should make all Christian
denominations a unit in the prosecu-
ton ofthsir work. IL was ascertained
that there are 1861. 800 Methodists in
the world, representing &,0OO,OO 0
adherents. There are about 4,S00,OOO

Ex-GOv. TILDENS ATTITUDE.
DESTROYS Only of the Success of
the Principles of the DEM
Ocratic Party.

N. Y. Herald. 81
The following was written in re
Spouse to q number of inquiries re
garding the position of ex-GoyernO
Tilden:
GREYsToNE, October 5, 1881.
Ny Dear Sir-I have received YOU
letter stating that you intended t
call on me, and your inability to do so
| should have written to you earlier
except for an illness and the pressure
of claims upon my attention during my
convalescence.
1t would have been agreeable to me
to have seen you, and to have treated
you with that fraskness and courtesy
which you have always experienced
from me.
In respect to your assurances that
you would not be a candidate for
nomination ifyour nomination would
be disagreeable to me and be discoun-
teRanced by me-" l have to say that l
cannot assume any such position. /
have neither the right nor the wish to
exclude you from a legitimate and
honorable competitor for any public
trust. My practice, when | was at the
head Of tho party organization, vas
not to become a partizan Of any
particular candidate, but to
conine myself to such advis-
CRY suggestions as might seem
fit and useful during the deliberations
ofthe convention; to defer largely to
the judgment of the best men of the
counties formed at the convention
in view of immediate action on the
complex considerations which enter
into the formation Of a collective
ticket. l need not say that | have
not undertaken any such function on
the present occasion, aud have not
possessed myself of the information to
make me competent to such a work. |
assume that you have not given credit
to the idle hctioBs Of Republican and
other newspapers which ascribe to me
a desire to control the nominations
and canvass for the present year. with
a view to becoming a candidate for
Governor next year. The truth is /
ran for Governor in 1874 simply for
the purpose Of sustaining the reform
movement, to which l had given the
three preceding years, and / should
not have continued in the Office for a
second term in any possible event. nor
would | now entertain the idea of
returning to it, even if l hattered
myself that | would receive a unsmi-
nous vote Of the people.
all | desire for the Democratic
party in the coming canvass is that it
shall make the best possible choice Of
candidates and do everything to ad
vance the principles Of administra-
to which | have devoted so many
and sacrifices.
With cordial good wishes,
very truly yours, S. J TILDEs.
