Old Time Circus Clowns.

Of talking clowns Dan Rice is the great
est that ever lived. having achieved such
fame as to be able to command a salary at
one time of 81 900 per week with all ex-
penses paid. Dan was the first of the So
called Shakespearean testers and was para

old Van Orden was travelling about the
country at the head of circus, Dan Rice
was Che possessor Of an educated pig"
which he exhibited under side canvas.
Fortunately for Dan, Van Orden IS clown,
fellow of no great reput alton and so ad-
dicted to his cup as to be thoroughly I'M
reliable, was incapacitated for work by
intoxication. and Dan was called upon at
short notice to take his place. Van Orden
had the brains ana Dan the impudence.
so between the two jokes enough to carry
him through the performance were stsungY
together. and to the surprise of all, he
made most remarkable "hit'' with his
audience, his repui atiun increasing from
day to day, until within a very brief space
he stood at the head of the profession.
Long before Rice's debut. however, great
clowns were not wanting, and John May,
John Gossln, Sam Lathrop, Sam Long,
Joe Pentland and old Dan Gardiner reign
ed supreme. May Gossin and Long were a
peculiar trio, each in turn acting in the
capacity of liege lord to the famous Nine.

However, he was we'll fixed IN after years,
and lived to be honored and respected by
a large family of children. some now

that the salaries of circus performers IN

what is paid now. Gnssin, it is said, got

Another Remarkable Scene In Botetourt
County Court.


Botetourt county court sessions are be-
coming as widely notorious as the county
Judge who presides at them. The Fincas-
tie ssHerald" of last Friday says:
The people of Botetourt witnessed
another remarkable scene in our court
house Oh last Monday. The court opened
at the usual hour and every thing was ap-
parently serene. The Judge o coupled the
bench, and the Commonwealth 8 AttOr-
ney and several lawyers occupied the bar,
with suitors and lockers on scattered
around on the seats and benches of the
court room. Judge Mays looking up from
book he had in his hand, addressed Mr..
Haden, and told him he had advised him
not to bring the cane he had in his hand
into the court room again; and turning to
the Clerk ordered him to enter fue
against him for $3.50. He also ordered
the Sheriff to remove Mr.. Haden and his
'-ane frcm the court room. This order
was executed aud Mr.. Haden appe tred
u front of the court house f1anked by
Messrs. Crush and Cahoon. The excitement
MS event created was increased by the
rrOneOus report, (Which was rapidly Cir
.ulated) that Judge Mays had ordered
Mr.. Haden to jail; and an excited and in
ugnant crowd soon gathered, and flash
ing eyes and emphatic expressions were
seen and heard on all sides. After some
refecs ion and consultation With counsel
Mr.. Haden reappeared in the court house,
without the cane, for the purpose OF ap-
peaing from the action of the Court. A
bill of exceptions was fled and Mr.. Haden
commenced to argue the points of the
case. Judge Mays interrupted him to
tell him to address the Court, and
l, not ''his henchnsen." (Mr. Haden
having turned and at the moment was not
looking at the Court.) MIR. Haden replied
| that he was not there by the will of the
Court; he was there by the will of the
| people of the county that he had no
| henchnlen; but his supporters we're the
| treeborh citizens of Botetourt. This III.
sulting allusion of the Court to MI.
HadeG " Democratic friends aroused the
Indignation of the crowd, and his reply
created shout of applause from every
portion of the courtroom. Great confu-
sion arose, and in the midst of it the
Judge arose from his seat, hurriedly or.
dered the Sheriff to adjourn the court, and
passing out from behind the railing Of the
Clerks desk and through the Clerks Of
fee, left the courthouse.
In the afternoon court Was again con-
vened, and the bill of exceptions was
signed by the Judge.
On Tuesday mornlng Judge Mays took
the dispositions of several persons relative
to the matter, to go before the Circuit
Judge.
Taken altogether this was one of the
NEST remarkable scenes we have ever wit
messed before court Of justice in Bote-
tourt. The attempt of the Court to inter
fere with the rights and liberties of a
citizen latter all that has occnrredl came
near precipiating serious disturbance.
The court went beyond Its power. The
right and liberty of the individual was
lost sight Of, and question of public in
terest involving the principles upon which
our very Institutions are founded, was re-
cognized to be at issue.

THE TRADE DOLLAR.

The Trade Dollar is said to be nuisance.
Why should it be2 One would think to

it is the Government not the trade dollar

s1.4OO For Procuring a Wife.

Timothy Lewis, of Lacrosse, Wisconsin,
has lust been awarded ST. 400 in suit
AGAINST the estate of Benjamin A. Jenkins.
About six years ago MIR. jenkins, about
IS years of age. pillar of the Congrega-
tional Church there lost his wife. He was
a peculiar man, and was remarkable for
two things-his deep religious convictions
and his miserly habits. When his wife
died his nature underwent change, and
the miser was superseded by the reckless
speculator; but his speculations had only
one bent, and that was to secure a success
sor to the late Mrs. jenkins. With this
end in view he importuned the parson OF
tho Congregational Church, the Rev. E
Y. Garrette, to select him a wife, and
atterward offered the parsons daughter
500. 900 to take his name. She was on the
sunny side of %, and declined the offer,
even with the prospect OF an early WIDOW
hood with lots of cash. Not IN the least
discounted by this refusal, Jenkins look
cd about for another. and, AFTER repeated
r-fusals, agreed with one Timothy Lewis
that if the latter would procure hlm
bride he would pay him So 900. Lewis
managed to inveigle jenkins into barn,
where he had secreted a son in-law as a
witness, and there induced the old man to
repeat his promise. Then he bethought
himself of comely sister-ln-law, on the
shady side of 40, but good looking and

He pictured to her the old mans lonely

finally consented to the match, and they
were married. Two years afterward, after
a snort illness during which he was ten

The will Was duly admitted to probate,
and among the claims filed against the
astate was that of Timothy LIE Wis for

ed. 1t was appealed from the County to
the Circuit Court ard then compromised
by the payment of ST. 400. The testimony
ELECTED on the trial was ludicrous in the
extreme. and attracted a large audience.
After securing his bride, jenkins old hab-

would Lave done likewise had it not been

The Hinton, W. Va, Republican, in
discussing the late duel in Virginia, says:
1.-The duello, per Sc, is wrong, but we
think it meritorious work to shoot a
Bourbon, because he is the enemy of
equal rights" This is meritorious and
humane plan of conducting political
campaign, the only flaw that we can dis
cover In it being the fact that, put pistol
in the hands of the Bourbon on the duel
ing field and he is just awkward enough to
let it go off and shoot the friend of ''equal
rights" In view of this fact, which has
doubtless escaped the notice of our West
Virginia contemporary, we should suggest
the ballot as the superior Of the bullet in
these matters.
