P. T, Barnum is believer in the prac-
ticability of perpetual motion, and many
years ago invented a machine which ran

Iranistan residence in 1865. He believes
that the clock of the future will run per.
petually, being so constructed that the
changes of temperature between night
and day will wind it up.

/ IT may be that all these fine things
have been mislaid or have strayed off.

ience, and we should not fail to
show ourselves then.
This big show has certainly been
conducted under a mistaken notion,

ried out, by a management having
public confidence and capable of at

The show itself. however, is a grand
success. My rec1 lie tor s Of the Phil

when in comparison with this stu
pendeous collection of the effort and
nature of all ma lions and just so soon
as all reason for adverse criticism is
removed, the people will flock here
by the thousands, yes, millions.
There will be fewer tony and dis
courteous bosses then and no band of
angry lahoring men Indignantly de-
handing the wages due them.
The great bulk of the visitors ap-
pear to ME to be from the North and
a constant reference to the hotel reg

sase. Why don't our own people
