The Dime museum, on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., between Eleventh and Twelfth streets,
has become one Of the institutions of the city
The curosities to be seen there are of the
first order, while the stage performance is
good, as attested by the large crowds Of ladies
and children who attend every performance.
The museum Is a new feature in this city, and
it has had the effect to demorali2e and out
live many low variety shows. The museum
contains many interesting features. Two lit
tie mites, very pretty and talented sit near
the door. These are the Adams sisters, born
in Connecticut. Neither of them is three and
half feet in height, and they attracted much
attention. Barney Nelson is n small colored boy
without arms His feet render very much
the same service that his hands would had
lie any, and a good sized crowd always sur
rounded him to watch his performances. A
seal lion has "A cage in n corner, and n big
baboon enjoys a large cage near by. The an
tics of these two specimens are watched with
interest. cage of monkeys, some birds,
horned toads, fish, and reptiles complete the
museum The second floor, which is fitted up as
IL theater, has n seating capacity to accom-
modate 1000 people About half Of thisspace
is reserved for ladies and children, and is
filled at every performance, A programme
including Punch and Judy is the delight of
the children, and u ludicrous afterpiece is
given at each entertainment. Two perform
ances are given each day, and special atten-
tiOn is paid to ladies and children. A very
pleasant evening can be spent there.

with indigestion aud liver complaint, and at

good many different remedies for my COM

recommended Hunts Remedy, as he knew
of so many who had used it here with great
success for kidney, liver, and urinary trou-
bles as we'll as indigestion, and upon his rec
ommendation finally concluded to try a
bottle, and commenced taking, with very
little faith in it. The first bottle helped me

Tho presence of two or three prominent

was not generally known. They were seon

IL that prize fight in this neghborhood is
not at all improbable within the next month.
How true these rumors are is not known but,
as several sporting men are given as authority
there seems to be something in them. Mr..
Tim Sullivan said last night that he know
the New Workers, but could not at this time
say whether the reports are reliable. The
New York mon, hs said are well known
among tho eNpOuonts of the manly art. and
IL would not bo surprising If fight between
Sladc, the Maori, and an unknown, to come
off near this city. should be arranged.
The New Workers left the city yesterday
morning on one OF the river steamers and got
off at the White House landing, about thirty
miles down. When they landed at that place
they entered u carriage and drove to u place
called Spots Corner, about seven miles from
tho landing. This place has been, in times
past, the scene of number of contests, nota.
BILE among which were the fights between
Bolster and Sam Collier, which occurred
about ten years ago. What purpose led these
men to that place is a mystery which none
can solve, rs the laws of Virginia are very
strict against prize fighting. The sporting
fraternity scout the idea that fight is TO tako
place, and account for the presence of the

Among those named as the unknown are Joe
