ADJUSTMENTS.
Batcheller g. Doris Circus.

Although not of so monstrous and I'M
wieldly size as the previous canvssses
which have appeared upon the lake front,
this show makes up in com pleteness OF de-
tail, interesting menagerie, clever perform
ers, comfort and politeness, Tor any lack OF
mere size. Monster tents with three or
four ripgs are bewildering and unsatisfac-
tory, but within tn s. smaller arena every
thing is so compact and every act IS SO good
that the curiosity is satisfied without the
eve and attention berg wearied. The an
imals are vel selected, well Gagged and well
kept, and the lions alone, from their size
and beauty, are worth the price of admis-
sion. The principal elephant is q fine fell
low and most rational performer, the
scenes in the ring are all good,
there is nothing mean, common, or
uninteresting to make up the attraction
of numbers. The riding OF Mr.. j. D..
Showles is the picturesque perfection OF
eouestrianism, and he is as daring as he is
skilled, the Brazilian, Aberlardo Lowanda,
is also an admirable horseman, while Mile.
Keyes is Young, pretty and q highly-train-
ed and graceful rider. Mile. Eta is the
only female contortionist we have ever
seen, and in almost impossible posturlngs
rivals any of the other sex. The tumbllng
strength, Juggling, and tlying-rings are all
worth seeing, but the browning curiosity, of
his yery neat show is the two-headed night
+ gale. Mile Christine, who is marVel 10
he multitude, q problem to the profession,
a freak of nature which may be seen but
cannot be understood, as much an enigma
to the faculty as to the uDscientihc crowd,
and whose dual unity sets all the doctrines
of either physical or psychological life at de-
fiance: two, yet one; divided, yet united;
distinct, vet welded; reminding US OF the
lines written 232 years ago by John CleVe-
land, the loval poet of the time OF the Sec
ond Charles:
"Problem of sexes! Must thou likewise BIO
As dsputable in thy pedigree?
Thou twins in one inwhom Dame Nature tries
To throw less than deuce upon two dice.
"Wer't thou Sc yd up two in one dish, the rather
TO split thy ST e lnto double father
Nature lost one by thee, and therefore must
Slice one IN Two TO keep her number lasI
In too many monstrosites we have men
tai imbecility added to physical maliorma-
ion, but in this dual mulatto girl the high
est mental gifts are added to conformation
which sets science at defiance. Two heaus,
tour arms, four lower extremities. two dis
tinct intelligences, two thinking faculties
united by and centering In one Dody' per
forming all the animal functions. AcIinS
independently of each other,yet thoroughly
dependent on the common body for sup
port, one head talking i'll English, Whlie
The other holds converse in French or ltal-
IAN. singing a duet in which one head
MARBLES contralto, the other tenor, aud yet
so closely united that the pressure OF nm
ger upon the foot OF one thrills through the
nervous systems Of both, that Is "both'
can be used to designate what tnouBu sep
arated is Joined.
Ancr the show this dual unity received
representatives of the medical profession
and the newspaper press in the parlors oil
