The small circuses that travel in
the west cannot ill so many tents as
the big concerns, but their advertise
ments are quite us wonderful. One of
them, which does not even announce
the name of its proprietor, is "a glOr-
ious and clossal consolidation of big
railroad shows" 1t is "an enterprise
surprising in magnitude, outviewing
in splendor, and overwhelming in at
fractions any amusement corporation
ever thought of since the world be-
gam"

Ragsed EIge oc The Rebellion.

In the last few weeks of the South
err rebellion, Il Confederate, serving
under Lee, wrote home to his father
in North Carolina that he was almost
barefooted and completely discour-
aged. AS soon rs the old man received
the letter he mounted his mule and
set off at gallop, but was soon halted
by an acquaintance, who called out:
"Hello! Has there been another
fght?''
"Not as I've herd of, but I've got Il
letter from Cyrus"
"What does Cyrus say?"
"He's is out of boots and clean dis

"Where ye goin'?'

"What for2'
ITO borrow seven hundred thous-
and dollars to send Cyrus to get a
cheap pair of boots, and tell him to
hang on to the last; for, if Cyrus gets low
spirited and begins to let 90, the in

The Danger of Adulteration.
From tic German .Sutjri8t.

There were once four flies, and, as it
happened, they were hungry one morn
ing. The first settled upon Il sausage
of singularly appetizing appearan ce,
and made n hearty meal. But he
speedily died of intestinal inhamma-
ton, for the sausage was adulterated
with anfline. The second fly break
tasted upon flour, ana forthwith sue
numbered denomination of the stomach,
owing to the inordinate quantity of
alum with which the flour had been
adulteruted. The third fly was slaking
his thirst with the contents Of the milk
JUG, when violent cramps suddenly
convulscd his frame, and he soon gave
up the ghost, II victim to chalk adul-
teration. Seeing this, the fourth fly,
muttered to himself: "The sooner its
over the sooner to sleep" aIighted
upon u moistcned sheet of paper eX-
hibiting the counterfeit presentment
of DEATHS head, and the inscription,
ely poison" Applying the tip of his
pr0boscis to this divice, the fourth fly
drank to his hearts content, growing
more vigorous and cheerful at every
mouthfuI, although eXpectant of his
end. But he did not die. On the con-
trary, he throve and waXed fat. You
see, even the fly poison was adultera ted ID.

The Pittsburgh Telegraph says:
while the ownership and right to use
the sidewalk and streets as place of
business is under discussion in this
city, it is possible that the views of
New York Judges who have examined
the matter recently under peculiar
circumstances, may be of some value.
Ticket spectators being duly licensed
by the Mayor, collected in front of
Lester Wallack's theater and piled
their vocation there, much to the an
noyance of himself and his patrons.
Action being brought against them,
they one and all insisted on their
rights as licensed people TO carrying
on their calling IN the public streets.
Justice VanVorst held that the city
has no right by license to appropriate
the sidewalk or street in front of any
persons premises for what may be
distractions ornuisances to said prem
ises to the public. The city has no
power to license any business to be
conducted on the sidewalk or in front
of any mans premises without his
consent and not even then when the
rights of the public are invaded.
Judge DOnOhue, of the Supreme Court
of that State, has affirmed the doctrine.
The general principle underlying the
whole matter is this. The owner of
lands bounded by or upon street
owns to the center of the street subject
to the right Of the people to freely to
pass and to repass. He may make
such permanent changes as he pleases
upon the street which does not interfere
with the free passage to and fro of the
public But no individual unauthor-
lied ythc 0Wnercan make any change
in the body or possession OF the land in
the street without the consent of the
owner, however desirable they may be;
neither has the owner the right to so
use this portion of the property as to
prevent the free passing and Tepassing
of the people. All this is subject to
such modification as the positive and
express enactments of the State Gov
ernment may provide. but municipal
ordinances Of themselves 0rmuuicipal
officers are not of sufficient authority
to make any change in the princi-
pie. Neither can any change be
made by implication, but must be
made by the express words Of the stat
ute enacted by State authority. The
tenant taking all the rights of his
landlord is likewise entitled to control
the street to the center in front of his
premises so long as hedoes it in such
manner as is not hindrance to the
free and safe passage Of the public.
But the tenant certainly has no more
right than the landlord to so obstruct
his premises in the street as to prevent
free passage. The principle is clear
and easy TO understand, the difficulty
arises in the application of it.

NO DECISION IN Ills CASE YEr-GEN-
ERAL SwAIM'S REPORT.
Washington, July 1l.-The case of
Sergcnt John Mason, the soldier who
attempted to shoot the assassin Cult
eau, is still pending before the presi-
dent. He has not determined upon
his action in regard to it, but the
general impression among those best
calculated to judge is that he is not
disposed to interfere with the sentence
Of the court NATAL which tried the
case. The petition filled 10y Mr.. Bige-
low, of MasOn's counsel, which raises
the point that Mason is illegally con-
fined in the penltenitary at Albany,
was referred by the president to the
Judge advocate general of the army,
who has just completed his review of
the legal points raised in the petition,
and whose report will be submitted to
the secretary Of war in a day or two.
The characterof the review is not posi-
lively known, but it is pretty well un-
derstoOd that the judge advocate gen
eral still adheres to the views expressed
in his previous reports on this case.
1t will be remembered that General
Swain then contended that the court
martial had no jurisdiction over the
oflense charged, and further that the
oflense charged was not proved,

-Alonzo ID. McCarty, young law
yer Of Decatur, Ind, had great diff
cuty in winning Miss Rhodes for a
bride. She loved him, but feared that
his habit of frequent intoXication
would make him sot, and would
only consent to marry him Oh his
solemn promise of total abstinence. On
the day appointed for the wedding he
committed suicide, leaving letters to
explain that he could not keep his
pledge, and would die rather than
brCak it.

COmpcsnatiCns of Party Defeat.
Providence Press.

y Democratic victory in Pennnsylva-
mia next fall, a Democratic majoity in
the National House of Representatives
after next March, would be greatly
deplored. The opposition has some
times done the country good service by
its sharp criticism of Republican
measures, but as direct agent of re-
form it has not distinguished itself of
late years. But if the fruit of tempor-
AIRY defeat can be the rising of the Re-
publican party to higher plane, and
the bringing of its management into
harmony with the most advanced
political ideas of the day, it will be but
the fOrerunner of more glorious
series of victories than it has achieved
in late years. There is but one thing
for the party leaders to do, and that is
to enter with genuine zeal into the
support of those great reforms upon
which the people have settheir hearts;
if they do not, they will find their
places filled by Others who will lead
more wisely than they have done.

From the Milwaukee Sun.
In cutting up an oak tree in Maine
Il lock of red hair was found so far iu-
side the tree that it is estimated the
hair was put in the tree 24O years ago.
1t was probably cut off and put in
there by sensitive girl when red hair
was out of style and red-huircd girl
was laughed at and twitted about the
sanguinary color of her head covering.
We are not 2I0 years old, but can re-
member when red-headed girl was
burden to herself because her hair
gave herself away. ~ young man had
to have good deal of independence
who would escort Il rCd-huired girl
anywhere, and the girls invariably be-
came old maids. 1t would have been
a picnic to those girls if they could
have lived about these days, when II
girl with beautiful red hair is con-
sidered- about the sweetest flower III
natures garden. Now that we re-
member it, the red haired girls always
were good looking and smarter than
chain lightning, and it is Il con-
founded shame they didn't come into
style years ago. They are not cutting
OF their hair and burrying it now
days.

The census shows that the OK
that patient servant of man from the
remotest age-is passing away. In
the decade between 1870 and 1850 all
other domestic animals Increased
from twenty-four to ninety per cent.
1t is only those places where thcrowas
land to plow for the first tiuc. and
the ruder stages of cultivation were
practiced, that the OK has increased.
In these days of rapid transit he is
voted too slow, and he must make
way for feetcr-f footed beasts of burden.
The New York Mat and E1prcSs,
in common with all intelligent news
papers, does not have much respect for
the average Legislator, and thus filings
little sarcasm at the Albany states

The first wife of Brigham Young
died at Salt Lake last week. She be-
CAME a convert to Mormouism at Avon,

married Young. 1t is said that, hay-
ing accepted the doctrine ofpoiygamy,
she made no opposition when her hus-
band began to practice it extensively,
though she Invariably fell i'll from eX-
element and grief at every new mar
riage. She lived separate from the
other wives, and kept her five
children as much as possible apart from
the rest.

An Advancing Public Sentiment

Boston Advertiser.
Why, then, this unprecedented OBJ
lection to the Congressional Commit
tees bulldozing assessment circular?
Because the people are becoming con-
WINGED that such levies by the party in
power on the men employed in the
Civil Service of the Government are
unjust and demoralizing. Unques-
tionably the reason why a special cir
cular was sent to the people was be-
cause it W.T. believed they would not
refuse to respond if they cared to keep
their places. Tho assessment for each
person is calculated and specified, and
everybody knows what circumstances
gives it a compulsory character. The
notion prevails that this is y mean
and oppressive business, and that it
ought to be discontinued. The Civil
Service reforms have educated public
sentiment to agreement with Daniel
Webster in the matter.
