0f all shows at present on the road,
none can boast greater celebrity
than this excellent combination. In
the first place the manager, whose en-
terprse has become a household word
throughout the continent, has never
in single instance committed any
breach Of faith with the public, This
fact coupled with the intrinsic merit
Of the entert iOmeht, Is quite suili
Gent to explain why it is that Dorls'
Circus never fails, either in town or
country, to draw vast audiences, and
what is better, to please and satisfy
them. The Circus Company this year
is considerably strengthened and aug
mented by the services Of all first
class artists on the cOntinent-and
/ their performances are striking and
novel - calculated to throw young
people into ecstacles, and to produce
wonder and admiration in the minds
of those of malurer years. Already
the excitement of this great show, that
is to he in Humboldt on Thursday,
Nov. 1lth, is making itself manifest
anon. our citizens. Everybody is
making preparations to 90 and take
all their children. FOO much can not
be said to urge people to attend this
show if they desire to see the largest

see the great and only bareback rider,

Hum oldt Messenger: About eight
months ago, a negro man living here
had personal encounter with a sable
brother, and was badly wounded in
the face by a thrust from an umbrella.
The wound was sewed up by physi-
clan, and, in the course of few weeks,
entirely healed over. The negro
made a good crop this year, working
all the time. Several years ago he
began to suffer considerable pain from
the old wound, and experienced great
diff Guilty in opening his mouth. Fl
nally he Sert for DIR. Peete, of this
place, to treat him. Upon examin-
ing, the doctor decided that the blow
from the umbrella had pro badly frae.
tured a bone of the face, which crea,
ted the trouble. He made an incision
lust below the cheek bone, and ex-
tracted, not a piece of bone, but the
end of an umbrella handle, about
seven inches in length The handle
had penetrated the face and broken
off. The broken piece was about sew
en- inches long and three-fourths Of
an inch il diameter. The case il
certainly a remarkable one. DIR
Peete will report it for a medica
journal.

One Of the best natured senator's is
Senator Chase, of Rhode Island. He
was born in Massachusetts, in 1923
and is an extensive cotton manufac,
turer. He was reared Quaker and
still retains the peculiar style ofspeech
of that sect. He is agood story-telle1
and ofttimes tells the following good
story on himself upon his advent into
the senate at the expense of Senator
VOORHEES,: It appears he had beer
sworn in during Mr.. Voorhees, absence
and the Indiana statesman had not
met the new Senator. A short while
after the opening OF the session Mr..
VOORHEES, delivered one of his stirring
speeches and the new senator was
highly pleased with the speech and the
distinguished senator's manner and
address. When Mr.. VOORHEES, had
finished, Senator Chase approached
him and said: II thank thee, friend
Daniel, for that speech thee has lust
made" Senator VOORHEES, surveyed
the speaker from head to foot and
then gruffly asked: 'Who are you,
anyhow? If they've appointed 8
Quaker doorkeeper, hell will be tc
pay" Explanations followed anG
then there was hearty laugh al
around.
