RIVER RIPLETS.

Travel on the Diamond 10 boats has
been greatly convenienced since the
addition of the Dubuque in the through
service. The passenger list of course
is necessarily decreased on each boat.
and now splendid accommodations are
to be had. This morning the usually
well filled decks of the Quincy were
noticeably more rOomy. She had 175
passengers on board. while she is ca
pable of accommodating 2G5 people.
Boats down were the Quincy, Hat
tie Darling and Winona. North were
the Phil. Scheckel. B. F Hershey,
Waunetta. Lizzie Gardner, George S.
Isaac Staples, Dubuque. Winona. a. J.
Whitney and Hattie Darling. The
Helen Blair went south.
At a. m. the stage of water was
80 and at noon it was 7.25.

SHOWS BRING
EXCITEMENT TO GENEsEO

The visit of Wallaces circus to
Gcneseo Friday furnished the popula-
ton with plenty of excitement. There
were at least two features that were
not down on the bills. The first was
the partial collapse of the big tent
during the afternoon performance
when the storm broke on the city.
There was something of a stampede
but nobody was hurt and the evening
performance took place as usual. At
ter the evening show there was a fight
between the show attaches and some
OF the young men of the town who had
assembled to watch the loading of the
effects at the train. The circus men
sounded the hey rube" signal and in
a jiffy assembled a force that quickly
won the field.

Refuse to Learn English.
In France the hatred of the French
for the English was deep-seated. As
an example of the feeling the French
bore toward the English it was stated
that many of the French would not
learn to speak the English language
on that account solely, while they
knew if they did SO it would improve
their condition in life. The buildings
of France were low, as that country
could not have American slyscrapers.
According to the ancient light laws of
France anyone who erected a building
that threw a shadow of great length
was subject to a fine.
The home OF Shakespeare in STRAIT
was visited.
