Dan Castello's Circus.

OF the circus which shows here TO-
morrow, the OregOniaa says:
Dan Castello;s nickel-plate circus
drew a very large crowd last night,
completely filling the spacious tent.
1t requires but an act or two to con-
vince the audience that the show was
Que of excellence, not only in the per-
formances, themselves but in general
management and the style in which
they were presented. While there is
much that reminds one of helong-ago,
many of the acts are really new and
very attractive. The globe groupings
by Durand, Samuels and Evans were
exceedingly clever. As contOrtiontsts
the Heeley brothers rank very high,
and introduce much that is new and
startling. We have not seen any tum-
bling equaling that of Evans, DuraDd,
Ssmuels, Harding and others. The
trained horse Senator, introduced by
Dan CASTILLO, Is one of the handsOmest
horses that has appeared in cur city.
AS trick horse he shows wonderful
intelligence, aud is a very attractive
feature Of the circus. His perform
ances are alone worth the price of ad-
mission. Chss and Lottie Belmont
on the trapezs give some remarkably
fine feats. During the act, Miss
Belmont, while hanging suspended
head downward, lifts over $50 pounds
of humanity, and gains rounds of ap-
plause. Aside from the excellence of
the performances, every one connected
with the show is polite and attentive.
being in sharp contrast in these re-
spects 10 those who have accompanied
circuses that have heretofore exhibited
in this city.
Mr.. CASTILLO, as a clown, is well
known, and it is doubtful if his equal
is in the ring to-day. A matinee will
be given this afternoon, and we would
advise those who desire to attend to
go.early.

a Bad Boat.

What looked like long black box,
tapering at both ends, with a lead
colored box on top Of it and a black
snoke-stack running up through the
middle, lay at New York wharf. 1t
was Capt. John Ericsson's torpedo
boat destroyer, which, the inventor
thinks, will destroy vessels that are
impregnable to shot thrown against
their sides. In her gun, which pointed
out at her bow, about eight feet below
the surface Of the water, was a long
steel cylinder. This was the proiectile
which in warfare would be supplied
with torpedo at the conical-shaped
tip, to explode OH striking the side Of
a ship and blow her tn pieces.
In the experiments a net will be
lowered into the sea 10 serve as a tar
get and fired at at a distance Of from
800 To 800 feet. On the bow OF the
little craft, which was almost sub
merged, were two wooden floats to
support the net in the water. The
prOiectiles are hollow and made 50 that
they will float. The tendency to rise
is so artfully adjusted as not to inter
fere with the fight under the water OF
to destroy the aim. They are expected
to come TO the surface about 700 feet
from the vessel, and they will pursue
a perfectly horizontal course for 800
feet at least. They will travel the
first 800 feet In three seconds or lit
tie less. They weigh 1,500 pounds
each. In the experiments there will
be no occasion to use the tOrpedoes.
The object will be to test the distance
Of fight and the accuracy of aim.
The experiments hitherto have been
conducted IN still water, and the firing
off Sandy Hook will be the first deep
sea practice. The Destroyer has at
tanned a speed of seventeen knots an
hour, and her fullest capacity has not
been reached. Although her hull
proper if almost entirely under water,
she IS seaworthy, for everything can
be battened down and no water can
get into her. Blowers yentIlate the
boat perfectly. All her working ap.
paratus is below water and it would
be next to impossible TO disable her in
an engagement. If the iron house
built on top of her and her smoke.
stack were knocked of entirely il
would make no difference. She
would be as serviceable as ever. A
steel plate eighteen feet thick is seti
front of the pilots position to defect
balls if they should strike there. The
pilot is entirely surrounded by iron,
work, and looks out through a small
hole on a level with his eyes to get
his bearings. He can touch off the
gun when he gets in exact range, and
immediately back of to safety. There
is a dummy plug at the opening il
the boat where the projectile goes out
This is shot away with the projectile
and a valve closes over the hole t.
keep out the water. Only enough
water to 6ll the gun can get in any
way, and this can be quickly pumped
out by a steam siphon. So there il
no danger from this source. There il
no room to spare on the boat, but
sufficient for the uses required. The
Destroyer is the only craft that shoo;l
a torpedo under water. -NeW Yorl

Dressing in a Hurry.

The regular Sunday morning FIRE
alarm occurred little earlier than
usual last Sunday. About kalf-past
three the bell woke all light sleepers
and sent hundred men flying jown
the street, and the second alarm
brought every one out of bed. The
fire companies went down as far as
0'Brien's hotel on run, but seeing
nothing except some burning brush
went back again.
There IS something peculiarly at
tractive abOut jumping from sound
sleep at half past three A. NJ, and
swooping around in the dark for the
habiliments with which this frail
tenement Of clay is ordinarily clothed.
You are sure to bump against a rock
ing chair, and when you think you
are over that danger, 1t comes back
at you, as it vibrates with the memory
Of your presence, and gets yon in a
fresh place. In the hurry and excite
ment of the moment everything is got
on hind side ont and wrong end TO,
and when the operation Of plunglng
and paving, styled by courtesy, dress
ing, is concluded and the wearer
strikes the street, he lends to the pro-
cession an added charm that no words
can adequately convey. Fortunately,
in that respect, the pitying curtain OF
night covers all inadequaeies, and as
the main point is TO "get there" all
minor considerations are overlooked.
