about perchod upon single long stick
is the --latest novelty. This performer is
mounted on bamboo pole about 10
feet high, the top of which is tied to
girdle worn around his waist. A small
cushion is astened few feet down the
pole, which acts as a leg rest. The aero
bat hops around a large space in the
liveliest way, utterlng cheerful shouts
and accompanied by the tapping Of a
curious drum. He also executes a sort
of dance and goes through a little pam
tomime. IL is a marvellous feat Of

City, Kas., made complaint that th'
railroads Of the State were discrimi

grain rates, and asked the Commission
to fix the rates so that that city coult
handle the grain instead Of having 1
carried on to other points. The bosrt
decides that Kansas City ls not a grsil
market, that thegrain is only rehsndleC
there and not consumed, and tina
it is to the interest Of Kansas to haVt
lew through rates to the points of ex
port and avoid delay and rehsndlinl
of grain at Kansas City. The petition
Of Kansas City was therefore denied.
