The Great Bnrnum and London
Show.


The success OF this tremendous show in New
York for the past four weeks has been without
precedent, and there can be no question but
that II Is pot only the Snowman chiefs most
brilliant triumph, but that It stands flrst and
the greatest exhibition In tho world, 1t is
alone its own parallel. Last year para
graph inadvertently compared 1t to another
show, and its publication was an injustice to
Mr.. Barnum and his partners. Those persons
who go abroad return and tell us there Is
no exhibition In all Europe which can In any
sense compare with the Barnum & London
show. This year money has been lavlshingly
expended, and what with Jumbo, the Nubians,
wild savages, COW boys, hippodrome races,
three rings and an elevated stage, II Is many
times more attractive and sensational than
ever before. What Patti is to the operate and
Booth 10 the dramatic stage, Barnum Is In his
particular line of the profession. To say that
any other manager approaches the excellence
OF his unique, stupendous and always superb
performances, Is not correct statement
The great Snowman, with an enlarged tent
and still more gorgeous procession, VIII ex-
hibit here two days, on Washington Athletic
Park grounds, Wednesday and Thursday,
May 9 and 10, and his business, great as 1t
has been heretofore, will be larger still, IL the

On account of his unsociable disposi-
ton, the greyhound is so troublesome as
TO be excluded from many kennels. A
gamekeeper ill the North having one of
these animals given into his charge, was
Tor while tormented by its noise and
misconduct, and Mt last became obliged
to turn him out TO wander wherever he
pleased. Now, there happened to be n
pig on the same premises which also en-
loyed freedom. To the astonishment of
everybody, these two formed fast friend
ship, SO close that they fed together, slept
together, and kept constantly in compa-
ny, without the one ever showing the
slightest hostility toward the other. The
dog, that had formerly kept up perpet-
ual quarrel among his own race, now
seemed anxious to accommodate himself
to the ways of his new friend while the
pig III his turn seemed equally willing to
stand high i'll the favor of the hound.
After this state of things had gone on for
some time, they came to understand
something OF the natural gifts of one an
other. Living on the confines of moor
where hares and rabbits abouuded, they
soon began to do little quiet hunting on
their own account. The hound being
guided by sight more than by scent,
found most difficulty in starting his prey
and here the pig, which appears to be en-
dowed with an excellent scent, camo to
his assistance. Knowing what was re-
quired of him, piggy would trace tho
hare or rabbit to its lair, and then wait
for his companion to do the rest. Thus
guided, the hound would sometimes take
the prey with one bound or if he failed
in that, he gave pursuit and when the
hare or rabbit was captured, returned
with it to the pig, which Immediately
tore it to pieces, to be amicably devoured
between them. The keeper. obliged to
put stop to this poaching, confined the
pig but the hound showed his constancy
by following his friend to the sty, where
he lived with him afterward on the best
of terms. Although the hound could
leap over the sty-rails with the greatest
ease, he mover attempted to supply the
"ena9c with more hares or rabbits.

a Puritan Love Letter,

Perhaps the oldest love letter eve,
written was one from John Winthrop to
his third wife short time before they
were married. He was Puritan of the
straightest sect so was she the two
were equally matched so far, and he ac-
cordingly addresses her i'll the strangest
adaptation OF Scripture language TO the
purposes OF courtship ever seen. He
begins "Grace, mercy, and peace, etc.
My own beloved spouse, my most sweet
TREND and faithful companion Of my pill
grimage, the happy and hopeful supply,
next Christ Jesus, of my greatest losses
Che had lost two wivcs.) 81 wish thee II
most plentiful increase Of all true com
fort III the love Of Christ, with large
and prosperous addition of whatsoever
happiness the sweet estate of holy we'd
lock, III the ,.indest society of loving
husband, may afford thee. Being filled
with the Joy Of thy love, and wanting op-
portunity of more familiar communion
with thee, which my heart fervently de-
slres, am constrained to ease the bur-
den OF my mind by this poor help of nv
scribbling pen, being sufficiently assured
that, though my presence is that which
thou desirest, yet in the want thereof
these lines shall not be unfruitful of com.
fort to thee. And now, nv sweet love.
let me awhile solace myself in the re-
membrance of our love, of which this
springtime of our acquaintance can nut
forth as yet no more but the leaves and
blossoms, whilst the fruit lies wrapped up
in the tender bud of hope little more
patience will disclose this good fruit and
bring 1t to sure maturity. Let it be our
care and labonr to preserve these hopeful
buds from the beasts Of the field, and
from frosts and other injuries of the air,
lest our fruit fall off ere it be ripe, or lose
anght in the beauty and pleasantness
thereof. Let us pluck up such nettles
and thorns as would defraud our plants
OF their due nourshment let us prune
oil superfiuous branches let us not
stick at some labor in watering and man
uring them the plenty and goodness Of
our fruit shall ..recompense us abundant
~, Ollr trees are planted in fruitful
SOIL the ground and pattern of our love
is no other but that between Christ and
his dear spouse, Of whom she speaks MS
she finds him. My we'll beloved is mine
and am his. Love was their banquet
ing house, love was their wine, love was
Their ensign love was his invitings, love
was her Paintings ; love was his apples.
love was her comforts love was his en-
bracings, love was her refreshings love
made him seek her, love made her seek
HIM love made him wed her, love made
her follow him love made him her Sa-
viour, love made her his servant. Love
bred our fellowship, let love continue it.
and love shall increase it until death shall
dissolve it. Amen
