The Great Shows Coming.

OF the nine greatest shows on earth,
known as the Barnum and London, and
which are to be here on Friday, July oath,
the NeW York Daily NelCS says: 1.-The open
ing for the season of 1886 of the Great
Barnum and London Nine United Shows
took place yesterday afternoon at Madison
Square Garden. The attendance in the day
time was unusually large for the opening
performance, and in the evening the i'm
mense building was filed. The circus, with
all that pertains to it, is better this year than
ever, this department being the best ever
presented To the American public. The
extent of the entertainment is so vast that
we purpose only to make mention of some
few of the acts and performances. The
opening-the classic procession and Oriental
pageant, which marched around the grand
hippodrome crcle--eXcels in living wonders
and Eastern magniicance the most ttorid
stories of Persian and Arabian poets, or
those of the most glowing of English writers,
Tom Moore's beautiful story of Oriental
splendors fading into insignificance before
the marvellous display here presented. The
management prides itself upon the remark
able collection of savage peoples from all
parts of the world, and the great number OF
human wonders aud curiosities which is ex-
hibted this year. Nala-Damajante, beaut-
rul Hindoo girl, enters a den of snakes the
fierce East India pythons among the num-
ber-and they coil all around her body.
This act takes place in full view of the
audience, a wire cage keeping the beautiful
though terrible serpents in place. Three
large circus companies engage in grand feats
of ground and lofty tumbling, in which
number of clowns take part. The mounting
and descending ladders barefoot with steps
made of keen, upturned edges of naked
word-blades, is the style of Miss Zamamoto.
Aerial acts on flying rings and trapeze
charm by their grace and startle by their
daring. Juan Cacedo, whose feats on the
high single wire outriyal those OF any per-
former ever known, is with the show again
Among the other acts are parallel bars,
CALIFORNIAN sports, Roman ladder gymnas-
tics, bicycle feats, light and heavy balancing,
high Russian ladder act ladder evolutions
table and chair pyramids, horizontal bars,
high perch, gutta-percha gymnasts and high
kicl<ers, high Japanese slack-wire, contor-
ton marvels, dancing barrel and revolving
globes, educated elephant feats, dwarf ele-
plant Tom Thumb act, classic brother
act, dual gymnastics, American, French
and English jockey acts, trapeze acts and
Prodigious Palmer, the Human Fly, in his
walking act, head downward ON huge,
swinging, high-suspended mirror. This
much for the performing acts; but there is
double as much to be seen in the sights of
| which we have made no mention"

the past week - Mr.. Ross Roberts of
Rutland, graduate of Rock Point Insti-
tute, is visiting his former chum, Male
Washburn. - The boys were rather ex-
travagant in their patriotic demonstrations
the eve of the Fourth. 1t should be remem-
bered that there are invalids, old people and
many others to whom racket at night is a
very serious hardship. To begin so early as
midnight is hardly fair compromise. Then
to get into churches and ring the bells
throughout the night is reasonable cause
for complaint. Go little slower next time
Young America, and give Old America, the
sick and infirm, half a chance. - Mr.
and Mrs. Chesley and Master Willie are at
Mrs. Heatons for their summer outing.

George thus selects the ownership of land
as the ~ king log" in the social jam which
results in pauperism. Abolish the owner
ship of land, and labor and capital (which is
sailed down labor) will divide all profits
between them. Then Mr.. Atkinson's " let
alone F" doctrine would be applicable, and
all things work themselves right in the way
of the distribution of wealth.
No doubt this might be the result, If there
were any way to break Down the old prepos-
session in favor of land-ownership. / have
myself been studying the same question for
many years, and have come to the conclu-
sion that much shorter and easier cut to
the same end would be the abolition of the
legal credit system. But perhaps while we
are all theorizing and seeking for some pen
ance for our social ills, the great COM
munists," whom Mr., Atkinson celebrates,
will have so facilitated the accumulation
and distribution of wealth that it will no
longer pay to be rich" May heaven speed
the day t. III.

THE hot weather of midsummer has a
weakening effect, both upon body and mind.
You feel absolutely incapable of doing any
arduous work, and even light duties are per-
formed languidly and unwillingly. This
low state OF the system causes even greater
infirmity, and gives opportunity for serious
disease to gain foot-hold. In this condition
the system is quick to respond to the reviv-
ing, quickening and strengthening effects
blood regulates the digestive organs and in.
fuses fresh life and vigor into every portion
of the body People who have taken it
