Four or i've boys stood on a South State
street cOrns sr viewing the circus bills that
ornamentei dead wall and commenting
with more or less enthusiasm on the won
ders which they revealed.
An old man came up, smiled pleasantly
on the lads "a his mind reverted TO the
time ffiy or sixty years ago when he at
tended his first caravan, and patting one
OF them on the head he remarked:
You are all going to the circus, Of
course. Circuses are great institutions
NOWADAYS, tut they dome make the fun
they used TO when l was 10y. Now, j
went to a caravan once down IN Schoharie,
where they only had six or seven men, all
t1ld. in tie company. They did al the
work, put up AMI took down the canvas,
loaded the wagons, drove the teams and
performed ia the ring. The owner o. the
show was the clown, and the band consist
ed Of a bass drum, pair OF cymbals and
a hand organ. But, my little men, they
were great performers, they were. They
don'5 have anything now that can hold
a candle to them. All these pictures that
vou see here on the walls are very pretty,

BASE BALL VS.. BRAINS.

Of base ball playing, as of CT
garette smoking, it may be said
that boys who indulge to excess in
either dissipation, are not noted for
brains. In this line Joe Brown,
in the Commercial Reuieac, says:
The national game has degener-
ated into national absurdity. 1t
was in the beginning spuriously
dignified with the "nationaP title
by reason of those common uses
which proverbially make familiari-
ty the breeder of contempt. We
are not an enemy Of athletic sports,
nor do we view the base ball
ground askance with the eye Of the
pulpit hypocrite, who classes the
game among the sinful pastimes of
the day !; and yet we agree that the
national" game has become worse
than sinful as viewed in a religious
light. 1t is outrageously destruc-
tive of something in the heart of
the nation more to be desired than
the philosophy of good morals. It
is productive Of Incidence, illiteracy
: and ignorance; therefore destruc-
tive Of the strength Of intellectual
manhood. Not as an element of
evil within itself, but for the rea
sons, and they are many, which ia
miliarly stamp it as the "great
craze" The boy at school may
forget his syntax and the double
) rule of three, but the rules of base
ball are indelibly impressed upon
his memory. The yonng dude,
. fresh from college, and radiant with
1 the honors of his class, will forget
his Greek and Latin, he is sure to
use bad English, but he is finely
1 polished in the lingo of the ball and
bat. There is a group of young
men who, by their cloth and con-
nection with the society, are the
: young gentlemen of the town.

Mr.. P. B. Delaney, inventor
of the wonderful synchronous tele-
graph system, has recently patented
a lightning rod for the human body.
1t consists of a large copper wire
that passes down the back, with
branches extending along the arms
to the hands, and along the legs to
the exterior of the shoes and to me-
tai soles thereon. The wearer, if
provided with this rod, may, if
standing on the ground, handle
electric light wires with impunity;
and if out in thunderstorm, would
stand good chance of not being
hurt if his were struck by lightning.

"A New York paper says: at
is said that snakes are rapidly dy-

news to the large class of people in
the world who would rather read a
good snake story than the Bible"
There's really no cause for alarm.
Snakes may die out, but snake sto-
ries never will.
