TALKS OF CIRCUS GERM.
Veteran Snowman Says There 10
Fascination In the LIE.

s|eeFdH SHo"mdn Gays theFe ~
Fascination In the LIE.
There is a charm, fascination
about circus life that is hard to ex.
plain" said veteran Snowman. 1T is
surely a tough existence, being but-
feted about from place to place, often
without a bed to sleep in, and the
wages, outside Of the salaries paid to
a few stars, are amazingly small. Yet
when man once gets taste of cir
Gus life it's all up with him. He's
never good for anything else, and
never wants to be. There must be q
germ, bred Of the sawdust, that gets
into the blood. Take the canvasser,
for instance. They get $40 a month
and their board, which usually con-
sists Of bad grub and an impromptu
bed in a wagon. Often they don't take
their clothes of for weeks at a time.
There's one fellow l know who pos.
sesses more than the average intelli-
gence. He has a trade, and during
the winter he makes, on an average,
$40 a week. And yet just as soon as
the circus season opens he throws up
his job and goes out on the road with
a show for $50 month. In almost
every town the management is be-
sieged by men and boys who want to
go along. and many of them offer their
services for their board. It's q queer
state of affairs"

CHAPTER XIII.

COLONEL LoRING MAKES HIMSELF FELT.
Although the possibility of New
Orleans being attacked by British
force had been for month or two the
chief topic of conversation in all the
homes and in every sale and cafe in
the city, nobody was prepared to re-
ceive the news when at last the fleet
was reported off the islands that rim
the southern confine of Mississippi
Soand. A panic seized the people;
aud, as for the army, there was none
to speak Of.
General Jackson made haste to oc.
cupy the city with such forces as he
could readily pull together, and began
at once to prepare for vigorous, il
apparently hopeless, defense. The
first difficulty that presented itself to
the iron-hearted Tennesseesn was
that of securing the confidence and
cooperation of class of men who in
a large degree controlled both Now
Orleans and Louisiana. He found
that a deep-seated prejudice already
existed against him in official circles,
and that a clash Of aathor.
ity was likely to come i'm
mediately. Governor Claiborne had
many enemies in the State, and
as soon as he became a stanch sup
porter of Jackson's policy, which was
a strictly military and not a little de-
spotic one, they began to attack both
the general aud the governor from u
hundred directions with the most in
sidioas abuse.
Although the masses were loyal to
the United States, the loyalty was a
provincial one. The creoles especially
regarded anything like national inter
ference with the local affairs Of
Louisiana with but little favor, and at
first they did not admire the rough
aud imperious general, whose man-
ners and language were foreign to
their taste, and whose imperious dis
position would brook no interference,
even in the way OF suggestion, with
his quickly formed plans.
Jackson attached Lieutenant Bal
lanche to his staff as soon as he
arrived in New Orleans. This Was
considered an insult by some in
fuential persons, who desired to have
Colonel Loring occupy that position,
and who had made a special sug-
gestion to that effect, fortified by the
statement tina. \ Loring knew the
whole country as sailor-pilot knows
his chart, and was, besides, an officer
of varied aud successful experience in
the service Mr.. Vernon, too. had
added the weight of his name and
recommendation, which had hitherto
been almost all-powerful, in Colonel
Loring's behalf.
As for the colonel himself, he re-
turned to New Orleans from NO one
knew exactly where, just in time to be
informed of General Jackson's per-
emptory refusal while the words were
scarcely cold.
"I do not need more staff-oficers
or more officers Of any kind" was the
bluff, statement made by the already
owe, worked commander. 81 need
fighting men who have guns and will
shoot with them whenever q red-coat
gets in sight. Let every man forget

God streams upon the mage Of history. and
every denartment Of scientific research tes-
t;fes to His nerfection and wondrous love.
The mind Of the most brilliant echolar will
onlv see in phenomena natural results.
RELIGION alone has power to permeate his
worl, with magnificent meaning. There is
hidden wiador, only revealed TO the child
OF "new birth" who has had special
ard individual revelation of the Father.
Reliqion crowns intellect with deem in
sight into the mysteries of life. The earth,
sea and sky. the complex organism OF So

history of nations. all these things shine
with a new luster. and food the mind with

upright mind: it n!evatcs the in1gment

pose to receive knowledge through all 'e-
gitimate chanuels. 1t endows man with
sincerity and a quality Of fair dealing
which no university can teach. 1t breaks
down The barriers of set opinions and de-
strovs the bitterness between sects and
parties. IT opens the heart to conviction
and ready candor to confess er-ar. The
intellect was never intended to be bound
to set rules or encompassed with man.made
regulations. It's destiny is an upward. on
ward march toward truth. and true reiig-
