AMUSEMENT4.
RarnuIn,s Grcnt SHOW.

That p. 7. Blrnum, the father OF the
circus profession, has kept faith with
his friends Of former years is a fact
positive and beyond a postulate. His
entree in the South with bis great and
undivided aggregation was an ucca-
sion long to be remembered in Mem
phis. Despite the rumor5 that the
Barnum and London shows would
separate when the Mason and Dixon
line had been passed, the city was
thronged with anxious merry makers
from miles and miles around. Long
before the glittering pageant filed
through the principal thoroughfares
the highways and byways were
crowded and curbstone seats were at a
premium. The procession, which, by
the way, is the same that Mr.. Barnum
has al ways given as a prelude to his
great show, was q pronounced SUCCESS.
There was a freshness and neatness in
its make up which drew forth compli-
mentary comments from all sides. No
attempt was made to "s,ring out" the
parade OF force its time in
passing given point. Hun
dreds OF chariots followed close
together, and hundreds Of animals
almost trod upon each others heels.
A good deal OF word painting is
always engaged in to describe the free
procession OF circuses, but Barnum's
advertisements in this respect are not
overdrawn. How the show could be
divided is mystery to these who
looked in wonder and admiration at
the free street parade.
Under the canvas the same pro-
gramme which thrilled and delighted
he thousands upon thousands 10 the
East and West was carried ont
to tie letter. In the three
great rings the entire world was rep.
re sented-the best riders, the best
vsulters aud tumblers, the best trapeze
performers, the two and four horse
chariot races, the elephant, camel and
monkey, jockey races and the flat,
hurdle and steeple Chsses, the contor-
tionists-nothing was omitted. 1t
took several hours to complete the
immense programme, but all waited
to witness the last act.

Georges Campaign.

New YORK, Oct. 22.-There is now
no longer a doubt that Mr.. Georges
candidacy will receive the almost unan-
imous support of the working classes,
and 1t is stated upon what is believed
to be good authority that the street
car drivers, factory hands and work
ing men of every class propose to take
time to vote on that day if it ties Up
the business of the city for the time
being. Heretofore the working classes
have been allowed time TO vote at their
employers expense, but were ofcourse
expected to vote for measures or can
didates favored by their employers.
If they refused to do this, time was re-
fused them, and unless there is gen.
eral move to assert their rights to at
tend the polls and cast an untrammeled
vote, the few who would leave their
posts, without permission and essay to
do it, would undoubtedly be dis
charged. There is q great deal of talk
going on over the municipal campaign

A Priest on Trial for Adultery.

DRAINERp, Mimi, Oct. 22.--The trial
of Rev. Father Vaudry, indicted for
adultery, was begun this morning, and
the forenoon consumed in the panel.
This afternoon the statement of the
complaining witness, Mrs. Nathalie
TurgeOn a smart and good.looking
French school-teacber, was made. She
was teaching in her priests parish, fol-
lowing her marriage to Turgeon, and
they went TO the priests house to
board. She testified that she was in
duced by him to occupy bed in the
room with him, which she did, as she
swears, for two months. Then he un-
dcrtook to get her church divorce.
and by her telling the physicians that
intercourse with her husband made
her sick they furnished a certificate Of
vaginismus, and OH this her priest pro-
cured, as she says, the bishops decree
of divorce, and the object of that was
that she might be secretly married to
Father Vaudryy which was to be done
mt Chicago, and she to be kept secretly
in st. Paul, but this part was not car
ried out. After this she visited the
priest in Brainerd, and have, as stated,
committed the specific act charged.
Her story was told and maintained
with much strength and courage. The
cross-cxamination was little more than
begun when court adjourned for the
day.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

An important decision has just been
rendered by the supreme court OF
Pennsylvania upon the right ola rail-
road to purchase and absorb n COM
peting line. The South Pennsylvania
railroad controlled by the Vanderbilts
was transferred to the Pennsylvania
railroad company, and the Attorney
General enjoined the company from
completing the sale, at the suggestion
of II minority Of the stockholders, on
the ground that it was competing
line and the purchase therefore uncon-
stitutional. An appeal was taken from
the decision Of the lower court, which
was unfavorable to the South Penn
sylvania company and Oh hearing in
the Supreme court the decision OF the
lower court was sustained. The consti-
tuition of Texas, on this point is very
similar in spirit to that of Pennsylvania,
yet there are competing lines of rail-
road bcir g operated under a lease by
one and the same management and all
of them are servants of the pool.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.

Chairman Lockett, of the sixth con-
grcssional district has requested Col.
w. l.. Crawford to head of Maj.
Jerome Kearby, who is roaming over
the district at large, seeking to prose-
lyte democratic voters to the lndcpen-
dent faith, and Col. Crawford has re-
sponded favorably. Mr.. Kearby has,
however, declined to recognize any
substitute for the Democratic Nomi-
nee. and refuses to divide time with
Col. Crawford. The latter will make
few speeches anyway.
But the question that is agitating
most people is, who is going to lariat
Judge Norton? Col. Crawford has
b zen assigned to the duty Of holding
down ..Kearby, but Judge Norton
is abroad breakfasting on Democratic
privates, dining OH Democratic con-
vcntions and making his supper out OF
Democratic nominees, and nothing
but Judge Abbotts unhealthy condi-
ton has kept him out Of Norton's
nav, so far.
As the district chairman has to con-
script defenders of Democracy, the
HERALD suggests that he at once issue
ukase commanding Mr. Gibbs to
y,ollun Norton the next time the latter
mounts a stump in this district He
might al<o press into service some
good Democratic doctor to look after
Judge Abbott's health and get him
on his feet by the time congress meets.

On Friday evening, the 7th, the
NJ. E. Church had very large and
appreciative audience to hear our
fellow citizen, John Fl. Roemer, on the
subject of christianity versus Sccp-
ticism.' To say that it was a grand
affair is but meager description.
All seemed to be deeply interested
as well as instructed. The manner
in which he presented the truths of
the gospel, the fundamental princi-
pies, the mission of the Savior. the
evidences of the Gospel and sacred
and profane history, showing its
adaptation to man for his well-heing
here and hereafter. Asserting and
showing clearly that scepticism had
never closed one church door, but
had always been detrimental to the
interest. and well-being of mankind,
whereas Christianity had always
am cliorated the condition ofmankind
and was calculated to benefit them
here and save them hereafter. The
presentation of the mission, death,
burial and resurrection of the Sa-
yior, Of the Apostles and of doubt
ing IhsmdseS, was superlatiyely in
teresting and entertaining. Nodoubt
all felt interested, entertained and
instructed. | will venture to say for
the citizens, aswell as myself, young
friend and brother, come again. He
left yesterday for school at Marietta.
The river is very low. Only for
