1t may not be generally known that the late
Robert I. Robson, for many years resident
OF this city, gave to his wife by her will the in
come of all his estate during her life; and upon
her death gave all his property to the Portland
Female Orphan Asylum, the Portland
Widows Wood Society, and the Home for
Aged INDECENT Women
Soon after his death and probate of his will,
Mrs Robson commenced suit in equity in the
Q. s. Circuit Court for Maine against the three
charities, alleging upon various technical
grounds that the bequest to the societies was
Illegal and void, aad claiming the whole estate
as her own.
The case was argued at the term recently

three charitable societies.
The Court has now entered decree in favor

BARNUM,s CIRCUS.
The Sacred Elephant and the Many Other
Wonders.


Barnum, Bailey and Hutchinson's circus and
London shows will be on exhibition at Deer
ing grounds, July 4th. The notes of prepara-
ton fer the Barnum circus are heard on all
sides. Barnum's reputation as a Snowman is
worldwide; his name is regarded by the little
people as household word, and his great
show brings with it pleasureable anticipations
for thousands upon thousands of people, and
the circus has long since been accepted not
only as the show of shows for the million, but
as a sort of spring institution of time-honored
character. Barnum has produced beneath the
banners of his show the only two baby ele-
plants ever born in captivity-one of them in
Philadelphia-and both of them will be viewed
beneath the wide-spreading ten acres of tents.
He was the first Snowman who introduced
first two, then three rings, and an elaborate
stage with broad race course for Roman trials
OF speed around and outside the circle and
stage. He 1t was who imported the giant ele-
plant, the great Jumbo, and as a Snowman
has been the greatest and the only Barnum for
malt century, possessing an individuality
marked and distinctive, and understood and
appreciated by all, from the smallest child
who talks up to the Oldest man or woman who
has ever witnessed circus show. Among
the much heralded in the Barnum show is the
chronological Congress of barbarous and savage
tribes, composed of Hindoos, Todas Indians,
supposed to have sprung from the lost tribes
of Israel, Afghan warriors, Soudan, Nubians,
australian csnnibals, Aztec human relics
Brule Sioux Indians, and much else, including
one hundred idoatrous pagan worshipping
heathens. A huge menagerie will also attract
and animals of all kinds and descriptions will
be viewed. Daring hippodrome races will
startle and delight, and in the ring entertain
ment over three hundred circus performers
will take part. The show also includes sim
gulsr and complete museum of living human
freaks, and his is the wonderful giant Chang,
who towers far above the tallest of ordinary
men. Forty elephants all we'll trained are Of
the Barnum circus, and in the sacred white
elep plant the great feature is named. The sin
gular specimen was brought to this country at
an expense of over 100000, after delay of
two years in obtaining the animal. Mr. Bar
mum holds the deed of sale and certificate of
sacredness signed by Burmah's minister, and
bearing the seal of the king, as is told to all
both orally and in print.

The poisoned Air."

To the Editor Of the Press:
Is it to be all taIk.9 Will not the authorities
do something TO free US from this uncomfortable
stencil? 1t is impossible to sleep. First, the
expedient is tried of burying the head in the
bed clothes, till most smothered aud obliged to
come up and draw in a deep breath of that
horrid air; then we dash out and get the cam.
Dhor and saturate the corners of the sheets
cover our nose and then try to sleep, but it is
no use. How long have we got to endure the
nuisance? The odor is that of privy vaults of
which there are many, and the owners take no
pains to shut the covers or doors. They stand
wide open. There can be no doubt that much
OF the debility and i'll health from which manv
suffer is caused by this very evil.
Can it.not in some way be remedied?

NOTES.


Miss Gertrue Griswold made her operatic
debut Monday evening at the Coyent Garden
Theatre, London. as Marguerite in "Faust."
The house was crowded, and the audience was
an exceptionally brilliant one. Almost every
American of note in the city was present, and
Mr.. Gillig's box contained Minister Moves and
Attorney Tenney. Miss Griswold's welcome
from the audience was hearty and generous.
She was repeatedly recalled and received MANY
floral gifts, including huge wreath presented
said to have pure and sweet soprano voice.
but she proved somewhat deficient in dramatic
power, and displayed some nervousness, which
will probably disappear as she becomes more
familiar with the operatic stage. She is o
