This is far away the ne plus ultra of
everything Of the kink that has ever
visited these colonies. Mr.. Cole pes-
sesses the AarOn's rod Of all the great
caterers for public amusement and
instruction. He has swallowed up in
his circus, menagerie and congress of
living wonders the great rarities, beau.
ties, skill, daring and graces of hun
dred other rival shows. The extraor-
dinary combination of wonders, col
lected at infinite pains and enormous
expense from every quarter Of the
globe, is a grand example Of the enter
prise, daring and grasp which are the
prominent characteristics of Ameri.
cans. The business capacity which can
combine into one homogeneous whole
such a heterogeneous collection of
elements, transport it over wide seas
and continents, and control the infinite
minuti9 without a hith, must be of a
very high order, in fact, nearly allied
to that genius which enabled Stanley
to overcome tn ltficulties and sur.
mount the obsta les of the terra ineog-
nita OF Central Africa, and which
more or less dis nguishes all the great
commercial undertakings and amuse
ments of the Am ripan people. Coles
circus and menag lyie is "a modern revi.
val of the splendors and maryels of
the Roman Circus Maximus of the
elder Tarquin, Julius Caesar, and
Augustus, without their barbarities,
but transcending them in elegance,
variety and perfection of train
ing. There is nothing whatever
in the whole exhibition and
performance to offend the most ias
tidious taste, and there is enough to
satisfy aud astonish the most exact
ing. The menagerie alone is worth a
hundred books Of natural history for
purposes Of education; the perform
anoes of the animals are remarkable
proofs Of mans supremacy over the
brute creation; while the feats per.
formed in the arena display to perfec.
tion the adaptability Of the human
frame, and the trlumphs Of physical
training. We might write a volume
on this exhibition, but it would fail
to convey anything like an adequate

Vernon White, who is charged with
the assassination OF A. M. Leigh, at
Charleston, Miss, was formerly
student at the S. W. P. University at
Clarksville. The Tobacco Leaf OF
Friday says OF White: He was stu
dious and generally well behaved boy,
was looked upon with much favor by
most of our people, though Others
thought him too fast, and for that
and other reasons would have little to
do with him. None, however, ever
dreamed that he would blacken his
name with the crime of murder, and
that, too, with no higher incentive
than robbery. None are severer in
their condemnation Of the cowardly
murder than his former associates
here, who feel that their confidence
and their friendship have been out
ragged"

THE COMET.
Watching for the Celestial Wis
itOr-WheFe 10 Look for IL.

At any time a comet is an object OF
curiosity, but when we have one with
sodium lines in its spectrum it is time
to pause and think. These other ce-
lestial visitors grow commonplace
beside it, and star gazers are deter.
mined not to miss the opportunity of
observing the spectrum lines. There
is legend that comets are but lost
worlds, doomed to eternal vagabond.
age, just as the aged Jew was supposed
to wander about in medieval times.
10 add to the terror OF the situation, a
Washington observer announces that
in less than ten years our present
comet with the soda bottle attachment
will strike the sun and be shattered
into pieces.
In order to see the comet it is ad-
visable to get up early in the morning.
rather than to set up late, unless your
companion happens to be a pretty girl.
In that case the hour offs am. might
be awaited with composure, when a
trip to the housetop will show the
first approach of the peculiar stream
OF light which marks the efforts of the
sun to jump astraddle of the horizon
and flood the part of earth we iuhabit
with the light of day. Just preceding
the suns advent, however, few sharp
rays Of light Of soda colored hues will
be seen darting along the horizon, a
few moments later, at 5:l5, the won
derful comet, which has made the dis
tance from Rio Janiero to Knoxville
in three weeks, is suspended before
you. By $50 the increasing daylight
will have blended the ilmy tail with
the whitened sky and by 6 o'clock
there will be but very little left which
even the best of eyes can not see.
We can promise our readers an i'm
provement in this respect, however,
for the lost star is under engagement
to rise little earlier each morning,
while the sun must continue to carry
out his annual contract of rising q
little later, so that bytween the two
we will yet have ample time for obser-
vatiOn. Its right ascension is about
eleven hours, and its declination from
three to four degrees south, conse
quently it is moving toward the south
west, and its point OF rising will each
morning, be little more to the south.
In the morning the comet will rise
few minutes before 5. 1t should be
looked for near the horizon, a little
south to the point of sunrise, as its
declination is south of the sun. An
opera or field glass will give the best
view.
This comet differs considerably from
the great comet of last year. The
outlines of the tail are bright and
well defined, the inner part being
hazy. This bright outline passes COM
pletely around the head. The nucleus
is not placed back some distance in
the head, as noticed in the comet of
last year, but lays on and forms part
Of this parabolic curve as it makes
quick bend around the head. This
nucleus is bright, but very hazy, re-
sembling a bright ball Of light seen
through rather a dense fog, the whole |
outline Of the head resembling a |
winged globe. Some confused bright
patches were seen a little back from
the nucleus in the head Of the comet.

Cincinnati Prios Current, Sept. 2S
The increase in the movement of
hogs is not large for the past week, and
as compared with year ago there is
continued marked falling of. Our
returns indicate a total of 10000 hogs
packed in the West during the week,
against 10000 the preceding week and
100000 for corresponding time last
year, and 0 total Of $3.50 900 since
March /, against $3.50, 600 year ago,
making a deficiency this season Of
+1,l8O,000 hogs, or thirty per cert.
Prices haye ruled quite steady and
close firm at the prevailing figures for
the better grades, Some Increase in
the receipts may be looked for in the
near future, but the October move.
ment is not expected to equal last
year. At Chicago the receipts for
October are being estimated at about
400 600. or 10 per cent less than last
year. Farmers will continue to feed
we'll for a considerable time, notwith-
standing the present high range Of
values, for the prevailing opinion in
the trade seems to be that there is not
likely to be any great break in prices OF
hogs before December, 1t is not un-
likely that influential packers will
participate 10 on effort to maintain
high values for hogs 10 November
with view of getting a high range OIL

tracts will be covered at subscquen

The precarious condition of Mr..
Frank B. Russell, the Vance street
grocer, renders it more than probable
that within a few hours he will be no
more. Indeed, his spirit may already
have left its earthly tenement for the
brighter world. Slain by the merci
less hand of thievish, bloodthirsty
villain, who went into Mr.. Russell's
grocery to rob, and prepared to kill,
the scoundrel now languishes in the
city prison, trembles with fear lest an
outraged people should take his case
in hand and make short shrift Of
it. Too many of this class roam at
large for the good of the community.
Every few days it becomes necessary
to detail some rascally work of the
despicable class, to which Wilson be
longs. Only a few nights since Mr..
Wilbur was chlOroformed and robbed
the desperate who performed the lob
going prepared to crush his victim s
head with Ratchet, should he awake
while the dose was being administered,
then leaving the evidence Of his inten
tions behind to tell the story of what
he would have done had it
been essential to his personal safety.
A night or two before that,
lady lying i'll in bed
at her residence in the northern part
of the city had her wardrobe ransacked
BY a black thief, as she lay helpless
and awake and he cody departed with
his booty after the sufferer had
crawled from her bed to the window
and alarmed her neighbors. But
recently the exploits of Reub Shaw, a
most villainousspecimen of the red
handed gang robbed from house to
house, almost without hindrance or
obstruction, carrying his well charged
pistol in a hand basket beneath towel
to kill any who might possess
the temerity to obstruct his path. The
burglars and housebreakers go at their
work with the intention of killing, and
in turn they deserve the treatment
that is generally meted to mad
dogs. A quiet, uuobtrusive, indus
trious and useful citizen like Frank B.
Russell is worth more to this or any
community than an army of prOwling
thieves such as Robert Wilson, and it
is no wonder that his numerous friends
give vent to expressions Of in
dignation when discussing the
vile work of his probable slayer.
1t was unfortunate for Mr..
Russell, that he did not send his bull
let straight through the middle Of the
fleeing thief's back, instead of his
leg, when he was pursuing the pur-
loiner of his goods. Had this been
the thief fate, there would now be
few mourncrs, and the excruciating
torture which has racked poor Rus
sell, cut off in his health and prime,
leaving seyerallittle orphans to lament
his sad and bloody fate, would not
have to be recorded. The contents of
few trusty doubl, barreled shot guns
turned loose upon predatory villains
in the manner which befel Ben Bo.
CART, back of Elmwood, some time
since, is the best remedy for clearing
out such scamps.
