That Leon W. Washburn Circus.

All the bill boards, dead walls and old
barns and deserted houses are placarded
with red and yellow posters, emblazoned
with the figures of creatures from every
cline, and all to be seen for the small
sum of 25 cents. Children Is cents. I'm
doubtedly, in popular estimation, the
chief attraction of Mr.. Washburn's 8
menagerie lies in Cupid" )" the little baby
elephant, who is only three feet high,
three months old, and weighs two hun
dred pounds. Cupid is the most gentle
and tiniest of elephants, and is never so
pleased as when a crowd gathers around
him, when he at once begins poking his
trunk in all directions for dainties. The
visitors give him cakes, candy, apples and
fruit, at an average of two bushels day,
and he can digest anything but nails and
guilds of tobacco of the latter of which he
is very wary. As staple food, he eats
hay, potatoes and bran. He has a con
stant attendant and keeper in Don Mel
vile, who has been with him since birth.
There Is also special groom for his
quarters. Altogether he has a pretty
good time He is certainly a great fea-
ture, far ahead of any that has heretofore
appeared in this city and Mr.. Wash burn
may we'll feel proud of so valuable an ad.
dition to his already extensive menagerie.
1t will exhibit at Shenandoah on Satur-
day, August II.

When, on the death OF q Chinese
peer. an imperial decree has been
obtained nominating his successor,
it does not follow that that successor
can at once assume the title and
draw his pay. On the contrary, he is
required first of all to go into mourn
ing for his father. grandfather or
uncle. as the case may be. If he is
q Manchu he can get this over IN
hundred days-for the Manchus were
q practical folk. and. though they
yielded something to Chinese preju-
dlces, would not yield too much
but if he is Chinaman he must
mourn for twenty-seven months.
This was the cause why the late
Marquis Tscng did not. though his
father died in 1872, take up the title
until September. 1874, when he was
again called into u second twenty
seven months mourning for his
mother. His mourning over. the new
peer should go to court and be pre-
scnted to the emperor. There are,

The Army from Which Uncle Sam May
Draw Should Occasion Require.
An army of $4,000 men! How Ma
poleon's legions dwindle beside this,
and the hosts which Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan led shrink to pigmies,
says the Boston Journal This enor-
nous figure represents the number of
able e-bodied men in the United States
available for military service. But of
course no such swarm of fighters could
ever be modified in this or any other
country. 1t would overtax even Amer
lean energy and resource to clothe and
feed and arm them and maintain them
in idleness. The figures have no prac-
tical military value, but as sugges-
ton of the mighty war potentialities
OF the young republic they are not
without their interest to the world.
But when we come to enumerate
the men actually under arms in
the United States as trained and
disciplined soldiers we realize our
present military significance. Besides
the little regular army of ZOO
men there is more or less thoroughly
organized and equipped force of 49,
100 men in the national guard and
militia. That is, only about one man
in hundred of those of our citizens
liable to bear arms is regularly en-
gagged in mastering the rudiments of
the soldiers profession. New York, as
might be expected, has the largest
military organization-737 officers and
12,07s men. Pennsylvania has s,614
