OLD EuRoPE.
SOME or the Changes Made I'm n
Thousand Years.

Thousand Years.
In the year 500 after Christ what
was the state of Europe. The Goths,
tine Vandals, the Franks, the Huns.
the Normans, the Turks, and other
barbarian hordes, had invaded and
overthrown the Roman Empire, aud
had established various kingdoms upon
its ruins. These hordes OF sayages had
destroyed not all the works OF civiliza
zation, but civilization itself. Ignorant
as they were of everything that distin-
guishes and elcvates human nature,
they broke up the schools, ruined the
monuments, abolished arts and manu-
factures. prevented commerce, and re.
duced the conquered nations to their
own condition, inaugurating in the
completest manner the reign OF brute
force and mental darkness. If they
afterward espoused Christianity they
molded it to their own superstition,
TIL at last naaght was left of the di-
vine dispensation but its name, to COW
er the most degrading idolatry aud de-
monism. At the time we begin our
specific examination we find that in the
then so-ealled Christian nations there
existed no science worthy of the name,
no schools whatever. Reading, writing
and ciphering were seperate and dis.
tinct trades. The masses, the nobility,
the poor and the rich. were wholly
unacquainted with the mysteries Of the
alphabet and the pen. A few men,
known as clerks, who generally be.
longed 10 the priesthood, monopolized
them as a special class OF artists. They
taught their business only to their
Summaries, apprentices; and beyond
themselves and their few pupils no one
knew how to read aud write, nor was
j, expected Of the generality, any more
than it would be nowadays, that every
body should be a shoemaker or law.
yer. Kings did not even know how TO
sign their names, so that when they
wanted TO subscribe TO written con-
tract, law or treaty. which some clerk
had drawn up for them, they would
smear their right hand with ink, aud
slap it down upon tie parchment say.
ing, Witness my hand. At later
date, some genius devised the substi-
iute Of the seal. which was Impressed
instead Of the hand, but oitener besides
the hand. Every gentleman had
seal with pecnliar device thereon.
Hence the sacramental words now IN
use, Witness my hand aud seal, al
fixed TO modern deeds, serve at least
the purpose Of reminding US OF the ig-
norance Of tie middle ages.

The CITIZEN will not attempt to
defend wrong in its own party.
The alliance of the democracy at
Memphis with the Ed, ) aw bolt
ing republicans was degrading and
without excuse. 1t damages the
party elsewhere. 1t takes away
from democrats one of the most
formidable weapons with which they
have so numerically and justly be-
labored the Bulters-an alliance
with. republicans. This is local
alliance and made to defeat the
other combination, and while it may
be excusable under the sophistical
argument that it is fair to fight the
devil with fire, still it is humiliating
and totally Incompatible with de
cency. We will not let such a
miserable mistake affect our ideas
of right and party allegiance, but
we prefer to place ourselves on
record against it. 1t does not ex-
cuse the Boilers nor relieve them of
the charge Of aiding republicans,
but it compromises our side, and if
it can be defended in any way we
acknowledge our inability to do it.

We are plsssed Ia announce the pros

here THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2.
This show. always one OF the best on
the road. has been greatly enlarged and
enhanced in attraction by the addition
of number OF novelties and startling
ipecialties that are presented by no
othsr management. Mr.. Forepaugh
has been before the public for the past
eighteen years continuously, and dur
ing that time has earned reputation
for enterprise and reliability that is Is
enviabls as il is rare. One Of the most
praise worthy features OF Mr.. Fore
paugh's Show has always been the all
solute order and decorum, and to
tai absence OF anything Whatever that
could offend the most sensitive taste.
In all cities here they exhibit, the
clergy " i'll DE found among the most
jealous of their patrons, laughing Nc the
humOrisIns o. the comedians and hearth
ly 4ppl.uding the spe, ialties, particu-
larly the trained animals in their al

the most extensive and varied that ever
was controlled by any manager. Mr..
Forsp2uYh has spared no ex Pense In Sc
suriug the most valuable aud rare ami
mails To be procured, and, AS u result, lie
is enabled TO carry from city TO city n

cupines and other animals.
The specially artists are all from the
foremost ranks OF the profession in this
crountry and Europe, none but stars
being engaged
On the morning OF the exhibition
here there Will be grand spectacular
street parade, from the magnitude and
splendor OF which some slight idea may
be gained of what is-to be seen under
the mammoth canvass.
This is the only tented show which
has ever existed eighteen years under
one name and management. While
other managers are falling every year,
Notwithstanding their flaming adVer-
tisements and pretcnsions of exhibitions
that never were or will be seen, Mr..
Forepaugh steadily held his own, in
creasing year by year the variety and
number of his attractions, and invarl-
ably living up TO the promises extended
in his advertisements, until to-day sees
him controlling the largest and most
successful combination of circus and
menagerie in the world, and giving, for
the same price Of admission charged by
minor shows, an entertainment that
surpassrs nything ever before known
to the world of sawdust and canvass.

The Last of the IiiustriOus Out

: Frank James. the noted outlaw,
the last of the gang of the famous
James boys, wrote his name on the
hotel register at Independence, Mo-.
last Friday, it being the first time
in sixteen years he has signed his
true name. He came in voluntarily
and surrendered himself and was
placed IN Jail. He was interviewed
lengthily- and under his statements
of facts andSfgures and persons and
dates much of the glamour and
romance of his career vanishes. He
lived a peaceable life farming and
teaming near Nashville from
August, 1877, to April, 1881, and
was known well by large number
of people as B. j. Woodson. He
met his brother Jesse there by ac-
cidcnt. he also living there, and
their houses were the rendezvous
for several of the gang. Frank
never engaged in any professional
business during that time, but was
an Industrious, good citizen. He
gives dates and facts fixing his
whereabouts at the times when
several of the big raids were made
with which he was credited, and he
mentions familiar names about
Nashville showing that there is a
degree of truth in his statements.
He never travelled in disguise and
he says that he never had the least
dread of detectives, but was on init
mate terms with two in Nashville.
He says he is tired of the suspense
and dread OF capture, tired listening
and being startled by breaking twigs
and approaching strangers, and al
though he has no promise of eXecu-
tive clemency, he expects to be
liberated and to prove his innocence
of many of the crimes attributed
to him. For twenty one years he
has been at outlaw with price up
on his head and the hand of all men
turned against him, always in dan
ger, enduring hardships, separated
from his wife and child, and now he
renounces his profession and sues
for elemency, promising obedience
to the laws.
