The bicycle exhibition given by the Will
son Bros. at the rink last evening amused a
large audience. The brothers both occupied
the bicycle at once, and performed all manner
of seeming impossible feats, riding in nearly
every position imaginable. The audience
applauded often, and was immensely amused
when one of the performers came forth, and
in ludicrous attempt to ride his bicycle
pitched headlong through an open window
out of doors. The brothers used the Star
machine.

been placed in the ground as yet, and early
planted crops, which have appeared above

Waiting for five consecutive hours
without stopping, like the man who
calls himself the champion dancer OF

what can be accomplished in the case
of babies by little judicious manage
ment. and every year brings forth new
proofs of the wonderful results pro-
dueed even among the lowest orders OF
animals, by persistent and carefully
conducted system of training. Dan

his hands. There are, for example,
the musical June bug, the silent bed

these interesting insects accomplish !
We regard the mosquito as beyond
the pale of civilization. He is the
outlaw of the night, the wild bandit
of the forest the prairie, and
the bed-chamber. He is an
Ishmael among insects, as James
Brother among pests. His songs are
the songs of the untamed singer OF
the hairless scalp. He might be
taught perhaps to dance upon the
tight rope, or do the flying trapeze
pretty well, but unless the trainer
permitted him to do little foraging
on his own account, and let him have
his evenings to himself, we scarcely
think the thing would work.
A fine opening for an ambitious
man is presented by the grasshopper.
