Giants, Dwarfs, 1000 wild Beasts and
Rare Birds, &C., at Canton, July 4th.
The Toledo Blade of a recent issue
thus describes the wOnder-mOving per-
fOrmance of Forepaugh's great herd of
Twenty-Five Trained Elephants, which
are to be exhibited at Canton, July 4th,
in connection with his great combina-
tiOn of Menagerie, Museum, Circus, etc.:
"NO feature of FOrepaugh's Great
Show, which exhibited here last night,
is more attractive nor instructive than
the marvellous antics and performance
of the herd of elephants, which were
shown under the personal supervision
of Mr.. Adam FOrepaugh, JT., the young
est and most successful animal trainer
in the world. These immense brutes,
tWenty-One in number, were put through
a number and variety of movements and
eyolutions that battle description, and
many of which, indeed, even though
infinitely detailed, would appear almost
incredible to the reader who was not so
| fortunate as to be one of the large audi
ence that laughed at and applauded their
maneuvers last night. The susceptible
! ity of these huge specimens of the ami
NAL kingdom to human instruction is
really marvellous. 1t is an axiom that
man is the master of dumb brutes, but
never was it more fully exemplified

structor, five of the largest elephants
fell into line and went through series
of military evOlutiOns with the precision
and bearing of West Point Cadet Oh

formed an immense pyramid in the cen
ter of the arena, from the summit OF
which their trainer acknowledged the
applause which their perfOrma nee elici

African Wilds amused the spectators
with a number of gymnastic feats, stand

STEEL PLATE PICTURES.

Only to be Found Eat the Little Room
Around the Corner" of G.. w. Manly.
Dropping in at G.. W. ManIy's studio
on Eighth street, just east of Market,
yesterday, we saw some very fine speci-
mems of camera work that so closely re-.
semble steel impression, that they are
appropriately termed ''steel plate pie,
lures" All the fine lines and delicate
shadings are so sharply delineated as to
bring out a picture of marvellous
strength and beauty of finish. The
artist has devoted great deal of study
to this particular branch and makes
their manufacture a speciality. He is
the only one that does such work in the
city, and at prices fully hundred per
cent. cheaper than that of inferior
merits. Each picture is an advertise
ment of itself and acts to increase his
orders, which are being filled by the
thousand. He makes nothing but steel
plate pictures as he finds that they are
giving the best satisfaction both to his
patrons and himself. One very great
advantage he possesses is a superior
light, which does not come through
glass as in the ordinary way, but through
a peculiar kind of screen of his own in
ventiOn. A large variety of beautiful
backgrounds are in the operating room.
Displayed on the walls are numerous
handsome designs of frames in various
woods and gifts. We advise all our
readers to pay visit to Mr.. Manly and
see the superb specimens of his work

THE MAYOR PRO TEN
Police Court Machinery Under Its New
Management.

Police Court Machinery Under Its New
Management.
Brief mention was made last week
that as the cares of Office had laid out
Mayor PierO so that he was compelled to
seek recuperatiOn at the Arkansas Hot
SpTingS-had become an Arkansas ira
weller, as it were,-that the robes of
Office, and the complicated smells of the
court room would be temporarily taken
in charge by Justice d. WOTley, who
would unfalteringly balance the scales
of justice, by putting the sinners in one
pan and their very doubtful collateral
in the other.
Anxious to see whether the new in
cumbent was any more successful than
his predecessor in making a ten cent
jack knife and few nickels balance a
$3.40 fine and costs case, lead pencil
from this Office took in the scene on
Monday morning, as that is usually a
field day.
Upon arrival the said pencil was sur
priSed to see number of BARRIERS and
tailOrs from near by places in the room,
but upon inquiring, his honor said, they
were not prisoners, but had simply come
up to see how the shaving and cutting
was done. A dozen
vAGS AND BUNS
awaited the starting of the wheels, and
the Judge, with gentle craft in his eye
proceeded to business.

exposure got 50 and costs, and the court

he was ashamed of himself, an old mar

and would pay, and so on, in the timt
hOnOred style. The Judge, with rar(
skill in reading cOuntenances said HI

for $3.45. He'll get left.

The Chicken coop" escapade at the
Valley Depot is, doubtless, fresh in the
minds of our readers, and here is the
wind-up. After the husbands racket on
that fateful Friday night, Conductor
Bachelor and brakeman Mace went out
the next morning, as usual, on their
train, laid over all day in Cleveland and
came back to Canton on Monday after
noon at 2:10. Some one at once posted
them that the constable was after Bach
elOr, so both of them took the 4:30 p. m.
train on the ConnottOn, went back to
Cleveland the same day, and on Tuesday
Bachelor with wife and family,
accompanied by Mace, skipped out for
Chicago, where they were at last ac-
counts.
Bachelor tried to get job on the G. &
n. w. road, but as a copy of the DEMO
GRAFT containing the account of the hen
rOOst affair had been mailed the officials
by the Valley railway officers, his sue
cess is doubtful.

greatest herd of Acting Elephants ever

In our report of the proceedings of
the Infrmary Directors, it was stated
that all the Perry township Trustees

sum of $500 represents the balance of
lowed the full face of their bills, in
which everything was right and square.

A Yellow skinned Scandal.

There was a terrible time in the
MOngOlian laundry parlors on North
Market street last Saturday night, which
was nipped in time to prevent another
scandal in high life. 1t appears that
Chinese women dress in bifurcated gar
ments, alice samee as the men, and it
cost Nels johnson S2.S5 to find out the
difference between the sexes. Nels is a
Swedish citizen, who gets an occasional
sock washed on the premises, and on the
strength of such heavy patronage, be-
came quite familiar with the male
''Weak Lung" frequently indulging in
wrestling matches for sport with the
almOnd-eyed Celestial. On Saturday
evening he went into that brown soap
scented mansion, and perceiving, as he
| thought, the lord of the manor standing
there alone, Waltzed up playfully and
grabbed him around the waist and be-
gan to squeeze his anatomy into un-
comfortably small compass. The door
opened suddenly upon this GraecO-
Roman affair and the genuine che"
came in. 1t took but a single glance to
satisfy himself that his wife was being
roughly put out of the country under the
provisions of the new ten-year anti
Chinese bill, and he rushed out and
| dubbed for a policeman, who took the
NOrseman before the Mayor, where he
said he thought it was the man he had
hold of all the time. The trousers fooled
him. He paid the costs and departed.

CoIbred VS.. White Soldiers.

According to the subsistence branch
of the United States army, the negro
troops use almost four times as much
tea as white troops, and the question
naturally presents itself, why the col
ored race should be SO very fond of tea.
1t is not owing to the fact that the white
men prefer rum, for the negroes also re-
quired twice as much of that substance
as the whites It may be that they
needed it to float the pickles, of which
every man of them ate three to the white
soldiers one. It may have some connec-
tion with the consumption of soap, of
which the Ethiopian needs also four
times as much as Caucasian, but if SO
the connection must be a very subtitle
one. Altogether the colored troops are
rather an expensive body to keep, for
| not only do they eat more and drink
more. but they get sick more frequently
and die faster than the whites. During
the past year the average rate of mortality
in the white regiments was pine per 1000,
while in the negro regiments it was
twenty per 1000, while in the former the
discharges for disability was thirty four
per 1000, and in the latter forty.two per
1000. As matter of economy, there
fore. the colored troops should be dis
pensed with.

Canonchet seems to be a woman q
whim in architecture, the designs being
controlled by voluptuous taste. The
mantels aro upheld by carved oak mer-
maids with a plumpness of arm, a
bulbousness of development, and such
low cut fnny trains that the merry
oaken Bacchus from the opposite side
board seems to glance most wickedly at
them. The god OF pleasure seems to
have been the household god.
What was Mrs. Sprague's idea in
building this place?"
American political life for grand salon
of which she could be exclusive mis-.
tress," said one who knew her. ''She
found the spot opposite Newport, Il 9
Mecca of the rich, the aristocratic,
and the powerful, and her design
was to have such entertainments here
that would make party leaders and
social leaders covet their invitations
and to taEe care that she should be the
only woman to command. The fact is
that Canonchet was political device
to help her father. Justice Chase,
toward the Presidency. The one aim of
her life was to become mistress of the
White House, and she never would have
married William Sprague but for the
hope and belief that great wealth, which
was not otherwise at her command would
help her to attsin that end. She mod
eled her plans upon those of the famous
French women at court. She knew all
about Maintenon, Pompadour and Nine.
de Chatelet, and the power that women
welded behind men, and studied their
political methods. She showed great
fertility of resource in her plans, but
when they all failed the light went out
of her life.'
Had she no political am bitiorf for her
husband?"
.'Not in the least. She never be-
lieved in any political future for him.
She was, however. ambitious for Conk-
ling, and believed she would see him
