O'Clock this morning, and an hour later a
canvas village was going up on the
grounds just east of the A., 7. & S. F.
depot. The scene was an interesting one
Perfect system was everywhere apparent,
and seventy Ave men and half as many
horses went quietly about performing
their respective duties as if all was regu-
lated by clook-work. After the great
tent was up the watchers witnessed the
big elephant, "Jess," perform his usual
morning task. This intelligent animal
strobe around among the immense cage
wagons and with the greatest ease pushed
| them into position with his head, and
it was astonishing to notice his obedi-
ence to the wishes Of his keeper, a native
of Burmah, East Indies.
A baby tiger, nine months old, recently
purchased in San Francisco from the cap
tain of Chinese ship; three lionesses, all
sisters, twenty-five months old, of the
Asiatic species; family Of Wisconsin
democratic (badgers); two young kanga-
roos; a cage of horse-riding monkeys; a
cage of sea lions, ETC., are some of the
interesting animal sights to be seen in
the menagerie.
At 1890 occurred the street parade and
it was a splendid exhibition in itself, en-
joyed by hundreds. The horses are par
ticularly attractive; the music good and
costumes clean, neat and attractive.
This afternoon the performance is in
progress IN the circus and the crowd in
attendance is more than pleased. Feat

Mr.. Jones's Death.

him an admirable equipment for his work.
In carly manhood he accepted political

himself wholly 10 the law, though his
manners were so engaging that he might
have won great prizes in contests before
the people had he been so minded
All during his residence in Richmond
he enjoyed lucrative practice. and was
seldom seen in the courts Except where he
was performing a friendly service), save
in great cases. His counsel was much
sought for by brother attorneys, and far
sand wide. by bench and bar, his abilities
were willingly conceded
Mr.. Jones belonged TO a fine school Of
Virginia gentlemen. and without any sus-

There wasn't the slightest tinge of osten-
tation about him; on the contrary he was
SO quiet, 50 retiring, that he seemed TO
shrink from the public gaze.
AS an orator. he had the happy faculty
Of clearly arranging his thoughts. This,
combined with Ihe power OF earnest
speech and an ample vocabulary. made
him very effective, whether before Judges,
jury or public audience. His voice was
deep. full. orotund a voice of the olden

The report of Mr. Tucker. from the
select committee charged with the subject,
I'm favor of providing by constitutional
amendment for the election OF United
States senators by the people instead
of by the legislatures Of The several States
raised at once the question Of elccting
the President and Nica-Presideat Of the

people instead of through the medium
OF electors" Why should not the recPle

raj Constitution supposed they had ele-
waited United States senators and the

where the waves of popular turmoil would
never reach them. nor ever give them
concern for their safety. Those states
men did their work well. and when they
recommended to the several States the
ratification of the newly-made Constitu-

ment. And truly II may be said that
they .'buIlded better than they knew"
The fathers of the republic. We say,
provided that for the election OF United
states Senators the members of the legis-
,a,ures of the several States should be the
electors or choosers. We have used The
cord electors until we have impaired a
new meaning to II; but the trainers oil
the Constitution used II as having precisely
the same meaning AZ "choosers." They
nrovided that the people should not choose

or the United States senator's but should
