The newspaper encOmiums bestowed
upon the Baruum and London combina-
ton. which is to exhibit here THURSDAY
september 81, are very hearty. The
Chicago Daily Telegram of June says:
If there is such a thing as reaching the
height of perfection in the tented show
line Barnum, Baily 81 Hutchinson have
certainly accomplished the feat, and in a
manner entirely satisfactory to the PEG.
pie Barnum has, in the past, brought
several big shows to this city, and one or
two other we'll known showmen have
done the same thing, but all former eff
forts are but side shows as compared 10
the mastodOnic| show which opened at
the base ball park and on the lake front
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Barnum NAV
have been guilty of humbugging the
people in the past, but that charge can
not be brought against him in the pres
ent instance, as the show, in all depart
ments, is all that is claimed for it>by the
managers, and all the promises held forth
in the very fine paper" and in the ad-
vertisement have been faithfully kept,
and the only fault that can be found is
that there is almost too much Of the
show.
The enormous spread Of canvas covers
the ball park and all CT the ground be
tween the eight acres of ground surface,
and then there is very little room to
! spare.
The first tent visited was that of the
menagerie proper, and here was found a
collection of wild beasts that excels all
previous attempts of the kind. The
number and variety of animals is very
large, and includes many specimens that
cannot be duplicated. A number of rare
animals were added to the collection
last week in St. Louis, a few Of which
Mr. Bailey has been trying to secure for
years. The reporter was then taken in
! to the museum tent, and saw Jumbo.

crowd of admirers, above whom he tow.
cred in all bis elephantine giganticness
| The first impression on seeing him was
that he was standing on pedestal, but q
nearer view showed that his feet rested
on terra firma, while his head was uE
somewhere near the dome of the pavik
ion. There is no disputing the fact thai
Jumbo is the biggest elephant that ever
visited Chicago. Ordinary elephant;
are but pigmies when compared with
him. In fact, Jumbo is a whole show
in himself, and Barnum is proud of him
In the same tent are assembled groups O
the greatest living human curiositie.

several wild cannibals from Australia

there are six Zulu warriors with fe
male and child. The men look chad,
but the female is quite good looking
There are also Indian savages, Nubians
and other weird representatives of thu
human family, all Of whom are genuine
The museum also contains Col. Goshen
the eight-foot giant, the famous vii,
men of Borneo, the baby elephant ant
hundreds of curiosities, besides a secont
menagerie. A most delightful and in
structive hour can be spent in these tw
tents, and the student of zoology vii

him for months.

II is somewhat difficult TO get at the
true in~ardness" OF the deadlock over
which the Illinois legislature wasted two
or three weeks Of the session, but which,
We are happy to learn, was finally broken
on "Wednesday. II looked at this distance,
without explanation, as hard to justify, on
the part OF the democrats, the waste OF so
much time over mere preliminary mo
ton on the high license question, when
there would be abundant opportunity here
alter to defeat the bull by such tactics
should one ever approach decisive Stage
IN the proceedings. On watching the
business for week, however, We begin to
wool" the situation more clearly and I'm.
derstand what the democrats are after and
why they are abundanlly justified IN their
action. The whole Is sharp game on the
part Of the republicans tn gain political
advantage on the temperance question in
which the democrats are determined they
shall not succeed. 1t is to be promised
that while there are perhaps half dozen
of democrats in the Legislature who, in
obedience to the will Of ileir constituents,
will vote for high license bill nlne.tenths
