TERRE HAUTE, MAY 12, 1877.

WHAT IT COSTS TO RUN A CIRCUS. Now that the Beacon of the tented show is impending, the following article from the Philadelphia Times will be read with interest by many: "It costs around half millioa to start a good circus and menagerie." "So much as that?" "Yea, sir, every cent of it, and then you can lose $1,000 a day easily if you strike cold spring weather and heavy rsdns. To be sure there are bide shows which don't cost half as much, but they are likely to fly by night before the season is over. But out of the twenty-five shows that will start on the road this

there are at least five which

will havealmoit as much capital as this invested. One of these starts from Philadelphia, two from New York and two from the West. Of course this repre sents animals, horses, wagons, trappings canvas, and not by any means least, a sinking fund. The proprietor generally travels with the show. The season consists of about 360 performances, usually opening about the first of April and ending about the first of October. A new season opens wbeu they pass the winter months in California, the South or the West Indies. It requires for the transportation of a show the size of Forepaugh's, about ninety-two wagons, carriages and cages, and they travel about four thousand miles during the season, averaging about thirty miles per day, and taking breakfast about midnight. The large shows generally travel by rail, Forepaugh and Henry Barnum owning their own freight, animal, kitch en ana sleeping cars, A strictly first class exhibition, like Forepaugh's and Barnnm's, is at an expense of $1,500 per day for salaries, expenses and incidentals. Messrs. Forepaugh and Barnum give their personal supervision to their shows They each employ about 225 persons, nearly a small regiment.

THE HUMAN PERFORMERS. In ft first class show there are about twenty-four performers who are the main stays. It requires years of toil and labor to become proficient in their different "lines many falls, bumps, and bruises are endured before the necessary experience, agility and skill is attained. A steady course of practice from the age of six years gives the acrobatic expertneas and dexterity shown by the equestrian gymnasts and acrobats of the present aay. The salary of an equestrian of Mr. Wm. Dutton's (the present equestrian director for Forepaugh's circus and menagerie) experience is about 9125 a week. Jimmy Robinson, now in Australia, is receiving $500 ft week in gold, Charles Fish receives |150, and Romeo Sebastion $125. This Is exclusive of expenses. The salaries of equestriennes rauges from f80 to 9325, according to their profioiency. Lady riders like MissMollie Brown and Madame Dockrill readily command 9300. The men who are the delight of the rustics, the clowns—and who does not think of their quaint antics but with pleasurable emotions—do not receive the large salaries generally supposed. They average 935 a week, although Mr. Forepaugh paid Dan Rice 91,000 a week for three seasons. The gymnasts, acrobats, leapers, and contortionists command the smallest wages, as the supply exceeds the demand. The salaries range from 915 to 930 910 more is added to the salary of a contortionist.

INFANTS IN THE RING.

The pets of the little ones, the children who take part in the performances are generally the sons or daughters of the performers. The hue and cry about cruelty to children in the circus profession is in a majority of instances unfounded. A father's and mother's care and devotion is usually watchful of their darling's health. After riding or performing, the little ones are carefully wrapped to protect them from cold, and the utmost care is observed to always keep their feet dry and warm in rainy weather. Their salaries range from 910 to 930 a week.

The large oarayans have almost universally abandoned the mode of traveling by road, availing themselves of railroad facilities. The cause for this change was the great number of horses lost during the dry season, often as many as five ft aay. Another cause was the necessity of stopping at small points, only being able to travel twenty-live er thirty miles per day, and the consequent loss, as they find ft almost impossible to make expenses in towns or villages. The band of music for a large show costs in salaries alone about 91,000 per month. The routes are never made publio until just prior to starting out for the season, on aooouot of the jealousy existing in regard to oertain favorite localities,

THE MKNAQERIKS.

The animal Bhow. the "moral" depart ment of an exhibition, requires the utmost oare and watchfulness on the part of its attendants. The elephant man receives a salary of about ten dollars a week. There is ftn attendant to every three cages of animals, and his salary,

as the jaguars, a week, eating about sixteen pounds of beef and liver at ft me*t. They are never fed on Sunday, as it is deemed best for their health to starve them for one day. An elephant eats about fifty pounds of hay and three pecks of oats eaoh day during the summer. In winter they fed with »eel and hay. The hyena is fad with rib bones ftnd scrap about five pounds being his daily allowance. The herblferouS animals, such as the musk ox, sebra, gnu, antelopes, deere. etc., are fed on hay, with an occasional meal of oats. The unwieldy hip popotamns Is the Infknt of the animal species, as it «ata nothingof any amount but drinks enormous quantities of milk, of which it is given ail it crave*. It is regarded as the 'great attraction,1 and is the special object ot the proprietor's solicitude. The sea lions, or seals, are fed on fish only, eating as much as eight or ten pounds per day. They are extremely dainty, as they will touch no fish that have the least appearance of not being fresh.

The Columbus correspondent

rof

the

Cincinnati Times, like other Ohio me% made it his duty'and,, b»s pleasure to visit Washington. HeWss particularly interested in Dr. Mary Walker, and be describes: Dr. Walker, to a casual observer, from her seek up resembles a woman but from her shoulders down, takes on the appearance of a man. She is of ordinary height, has a very thin face, small, bright, dark eyes, a nose wbicn is quite pinched at the point, a good forehead and dark brown hair, which is cut short and roiled under after the fashion cultivated by short haired women and long haired men. On the top of her head is a woman's bat, which, by the way, looks as if it had seen better days.

But the dress, ye gods! The dress is what catches the boys, and has given rise to more discussion than that unanswerable enigma of "What would you rather do or go fishing?"

Dr. Mary wears pantaloons of black Cloth, which are not of a fashionable cut and plainly show that her limbs, while they may be excellent for the purpose of locomotion, would never make her fortune as an opera bouffer. I know a respectable head of a family has.no right to know anything about female doctors' limbs, but when people with spindling limbs wear tightisu pantaloons and parade in public there is no law to compel a man to go about with bis eyes shut.

Dr. Walker displays these A mbs so that they can be seen considerably above the knee, and then shuts out further inquiry by wearing a coat with large sleeves and long skirt closely closely resembling what was known in the past as the "Raglan."

This coat buttons from the neck to the bottom of the skirt, fitting se tightly over the narrow, fiat chest as never to render its wearer liable to be accused of cottoning for the benefit of a prying public. This peculiar little woman car ried a dapper little black cane in her neatly gloved hand, and when she took her seat at the table to write a card she crossed those painfully thin limbs in a very mannish fashion and wrote her name with a flourish.

The lady has not been as chirrupy since her ejectment from the Treasury buildiug, and her unsuccessful attempt to cane Mr. Earle, of Wllliard's Hotel, who refused to allow her to see Wade Hampton.

It is generally admitted here that Dr Mary is troublesome, not to say a bore, but I think if she could grow a little fat and plump up a little, she might be happy jret.

GOING CO URTING.

One of the chief compensations of a woman's life is found in the fact that she does not have "to go a-courting." It must be confessed that, in these days, the modern belle does her share sf the wooing, but she does not have to dress up in a stiff collar, and a pair of boots two sizes too small for her, and walk up to the cannon's mouth of her inamorata's family, consisting of .father and mother, and maiden aunt, and half-a-dozen brothers and sisters, and inquire, in a trembling voice, "Is Miss Arabella at home?"

Whenever a man goes a-courting, everybody seems to know all about it. His demeanor tells the observant spectator the business he is intent upon. He might just as well placard himself with the legend, "I go a-courting." Everybody is cognizant of it, and looks knowing and asks him If the "northern lights were bright last night about one o'clock," and "how the market is for kerosene up to Daddy Brown's and a score of other questions equally out of place.

We have In our family at present, says a contemporary, a young man who is deeply, we trust successfully, engaged in going a-courting and our warmest sympathies have been aroused for him. When Sunday afternoon arrives it is plain to see that something is about to happen. Our young man is fidgety and non-communicative, and cannot sit in one place half a minute at a time. He is continually interviewing his watch and comparing it with the old eight day ooffln shaped clock in the corner. He looks in the glass frequently, and draws his forehead locks first back and then forward, and oombs them up and pats them down, and is unsatisfied with the effect throughout.

The stnell of bay rum and bergamot is Gainfully apparent. When he shakes out his handkerchief musk is percept! ble. His boots shine like mirrors. There is a faint odor of cardamou seeds in his breath when he yawns. He smooths his budding moustache with affectionate little pits, and teels his invisible side whiskers eontinually, to make sure they are still there, a fact which is not established to outside observers by the sense of sight. He tries on all hie stock of neckties without finding what is just the thing and he has spasms of brushing his coat, that commence with violence, and last till one grows nertous for fear the broadcloth will never be able to stand it.

He declines soup thai day at dinner. He says It Is because he doesn't feel hungry, but we know it is because there are onions In it, and onions, a* everyone knows, do not sweeten ys breath to any great extent.

If spoken to on a-sttdden, he starts and blushes, and looks as guilty as if he had been caught stealing something, ftnd directly one does not speak to him, he goes back to the delightful occupation of staring at nothing, for the hour hand to onep

tton of staring at nothing, and waiting hour Mod to onep around to •even.

And at seven o'clock he sets forth, clean ftnd tidy from top to toe, looking precisely as if he had just stepped out of a band box. "The baby has got ft new tooth, but the eld lady is laid up with ft cold in her heftd," remftrked gentleman, yesterday to ft defeated candidate. What the dolcmret" wftstherepfy. "Well," said the gentleman, slowly, "before the election you used to take me on one side, in all over

and ask me how my family WM coming on. and I've been hnntins you ftll over liS town to tell you, and that's the way talk to me. Bat It don't make ftn

TERRK HAUTE SATURDAY -EVENING MAIL

DECEIT OF SONO WRITERS The man who wrote "HQOM,.*weaft| Home," pe ver had a' how. Nft, ef cQurs#? no|| All his folks at home say he dWn'l. Nobody who writes about anything ever harlt. If a man isout of anything he he immediately goes and writes about it. No one writes so msny "headings" as the man who is out of his bead. Certainly he didn't ever have any home.

The man who wrote "Old Arm Chair," never bad an arm chair in all bis life, the best ho had was an old split-bottom chair, without any back to it. The author of "Take me Back to Switzerland," never was in Switzerland. The nearest he ever came to it was sitting in the William Ttll saloon, eating Switser kase kase why, that was the best be could do. "Mother, I've Come Home to die," hasn't spoken to the old woman for years, and wouldn't go near the bouse. His mother is nothing but a mother-in-law, and she is dead anyhow.

There is the author of "Old Oaken Bucket," too there wasn't a backet on the

whole

farm, water being drawn with

a tin pail and a cistern pole. "If I had but a Thousand a year" stated privately to his friends that he would bo contented

with

half that sum, as he was doing

chorea just for his board and three months' schooling in the winter. The author of "Champagne Charley never drank anything but ten cent whiskey. The man who wrote, "Mary had a Little Lamb," knew very well it was nothing but a little lamb fry. "Shells of Ocean," is a humbug. The plaintive poet who represented himself as wandering, one summer's eve, with sea-boat thought on a pensive shore, was raised in the interior of Pennsylvania, and never was ten miles away from his home in all his life. "Gathered Shells," did be? All the shells he ever gathered were some egg shells back of nis mother's kitchen. "Hark. I hear the Angels singing!" spent all his evenings in a concert beer saloon. Angels, indeed! The man who wrote the "Song of the Shirt," hadn't a shirt to his back, wearing warn pus for the most part. "Oft, in the Stilly night," used to get on a spree, and make the stilly night howl till daybreak. The author of"We met by Chance," knew very well it was all arrnged beforehand he had been weeks contriving it, and she admired his co-itrivance.

The author

of "I Know a Bank," etc didn't know where he could get his note discounted. The only check ne ever held was a white "check" on a faro-bank he never had a red check in all his life. "What are the Wild Waves Saying?" knew very well they were reproaching him for running away from Long Branch without paying his hotel bill. "Who will care for Mother now?" Who indeed! You took the old woman to the poor-house just bbfore, writing the song, and there is nobody but the poormaster te care for ber now. "Hear me, Norma." was deaf and dumb he couldn't make his pa hear nor ma. "My Mother, Dear," used to thrash the old woman within an inoh of ber life. The author of "Ra'.n on the Roof," always slept in the basement, except when he slept out of doors. "I Dreamt I dwelt in Marble Halls," used to cheat at marbles when a boy, and his dream was a horrid nightmare, brought on by marble hauls. "I'm saddest when I Sing," was tickled almost to death when invited to. "Happy be thy Dreams," sold benzine whiskv. You nan fannxr whtl kind of "dreams W6T6 can fancy what kind of "dreams" were produced. "No one to Love," having just killed off his fifth wife, naturally felt like the devil about It. «*,*{ W THE GODDESS OF THE DISH

CLOTH.

But let us come down to modern times, and speak ofjthe hired girl of the nineteenth csntury. The queen of Sheba would have died of envy if she had attempted to show off around the modern godaess.ofthe.dishcloth. Years of experience has given us a thorough understanding of ber. Our family has had the honor of entertaining 88,876 of her. As we close our eyes we can see them come and go in a mighty caravan, laden with bandboxes, and what silverware they could carry away,

There was Betsey. She was the one that forgot to pick the chicken before she fricaseed it. Betsey was the one with blue eyes and red hair. Betsey's hair was rather corase, but when it was well buttered it did not taste bad. We have eaten a great deal of Betsey's hair, »nd it never hurt us yet.

Then there was Marier. The way that Marier used to bang the dishes aorund when any of the household were impudent enough to ask her it dinner was most ready, was caution. Marier bad a beau, and over there in the corner is the bear's oil grease spot frescoed on the wall, where they used to lean their heads when they used to :spark, before the beau kuot of holy wedlock was tied between them.

Julia was the one that always skimmed the cream off the pans and ate It, but her conscience did't seem to smite ber. Indeed Julia was very poor, and couldn't afford a conscience.

Helen was one of the seven sleepers. We.seldoai called her by ber surname, but'the old man who used to stanc. at the foot of the stairs and spend half an hour each morning in calling her was always particular about addressing her by her full name^and he used to call her Dambnashun. Even now we can imagine we hear him saying to ber imploringly, "Helen Dambnashun, why don't you,get up?"

Then there was Sarv Ann. She had but one favorable peculiarity. She could fry potatoes to perfection. Matrimony carried Sary Ann off very suddenly »nd she now has a little ftunlTy of seven girls and they are all chips off the old block,

slices

off the old potato as it were. They are ftll talented, cultured potato fryers. These are some of tbem. The name* of the rest are legion. row of their old shoes in the garret stand as monuments to them, and we shall never force* them. They were a race of tyrants but still we revere their &emory and occasionally when the wife is not around we Idas the present hired girl for their sakes.— [Grand Rapids Daily Times.

The New York Tribune recalls this pleasant reminiscence: "When Gen. Rtcketts was ft wounded prisoner in Richmond his wife went to stay with him, nursing him and other .Northers prisoners. For three montha she was the sunshine of that horrible place, and ber patients have never forgotten her. Two

THE SIMPLICITY OF OUR FATHERS 4JSD WHAT IT WAS. I Wasningten'Coiteportent Tidy Time*.]

They say thall Pr^ndent Hayes' bas Introduced into the White House the

intro simplicity of our fatlfsrs. A reform of that kind ie somtthing ambignous. In looking over aome old books the other day, the sketcbee of the social events of that period Indicated tbat tbo simplicity of our fathers was the aimplioity of big wigs. There was a Jenkins in those days as now. "Miss Peggy Harding appeared, lovely ana radiant, lis a floOd touched with soft sunset light, in a white pale blue brocade^bluesatin shoes with court heels, and white silk hose clocked with gold. This sumptuous lady's handkerchief was also wrought with gold and is asid to have cost riot less than |30. A headdress of ostrich )lnmef», blue, white and pale yellow, tair profusely powdered, gloves of white ki|, buttoned te the elbow and wr nght with jgold, fan of curious workmanship prodigiously admired.

Of the distinguished fgentlomen present the most conspicuous was perhaps Mr. Thomas Jefferson, in along waisted white cloth coat, the heighth of the tin, soarlet vest, black satin breeches, highly polished tinted shoes, with-silver buckles, with white silk hose. As he entered the court of Terpischore be removed from a slightly powdered wig a peaked cocked hat of the latest fashion. Fastened to the lappel of the bat WHS a nosegay of sweet smelling posies."

Mr. John Hancock also attracted much admiration, especially from the fair sex. He wore a coat of tine scarlet cloth, blue silk breeches, with white silk hose, a full powdered wig—a la Louis Leize—with frizzled |side flocks, and a cocked hat with a black cockade. His ruffles were of the finest French lace, and bis shoe buckles brilliant paste.

Our re

spected fellow citizen, James Harrison, wore an entire suit of drab cloth, richly trimmed with silk lace."

Thus, in the days of the simplidty of our fathers, they followed the fashions of their day, as we follow the fashions of ours. BART

ETIQUETTE IN PARIS IMrs. Lucy Hooper.j The rules [of matrimonial courtsnip are rigorous. The suitor gets the formal permission of the parents, and bargains with tbem as to dowry and other financial matters, before be begins to woo the woman. His first meeting with her after the settlement of the preliminaries is by exact appointment. He is carefully but not too elaborately diessed, and she is attired simply but 'as effectively as possible. They are then formally presented to each other. Subsequently they meet wlt'i iess restraint but before every visit he sends ber a boquet as a token that he lis coming, ana invariably wears full evening dress. Mrs. Hooper asserts that tliis sort of thing continues until tbe marriage.

She gives tbe following social rules that are binding in the highest Parisian society: The visiting hours.are from 3 to 6. Men wear dark gloves, and carry their hats into the* drawing rooms: Visits of cotfdolence are conducted with careful mournfulness of manner. What is considered good behavior at balls is not much different from usage in this country, except that (gambling tables are adjuncts of fashionable entertainments, and may be played at without incurring censtire. Reception days are an institution, both for men and women, and at such receptions refreshments are not essential. As to dinners At dinner the best and hostess occupy each end of the table. Should the£host be a widower, "he would insult |his 'guests did he place a young woman at |the other end of his table. If a gentleman be placed next to a young, unmarried girl at a dinner party, he must converse with ber very little, and only on the most trivial subjects. It is very rude for a lady to pretend at a dinner party to be a small eater and to boast of ber lack ot appetite —sucb a proceeding is an insult to her entertainers. If fruits are served at dessert, and you wish (to peel a pear or peach, you must cut it into quarters and pare it horizontally to peel It round and round is considered extremelycountrifled and in bad taste. Never tell a story at a dinner unless requested to do so by tbe master or mistress of the house.

THE JOURNALISTIC KNACK. [H. V. Redfleld in The Commercial.] It has been remarked that very few who get into journalism, start out with such intention. They drift in accidentally, and are promoted as they di velop capacity. Money, wealthy parents ana influence are of no sort of service in getting a young ruan a place on a newspaper. There is no business that is so entirely independent of all these considerations as this. A wealthy farmer can easily get bis son a location to read law, or medicine, or push him forward in almost any walk of life he may select, but he is utterly powerless to do anything for him in a journalistic sure ho may
