EOW TO RUN A SHOW.
The Cost of Amusiiiar the Public—Some
Mtartlin;? Figure*.
Through the kindness of Mr. Jno.
Robinson,Jr., ivejare enabled to give
our readers some interesting items
in regard to the internal economy
of a traveling circus company. We
take a period of ten years last past,
and present the various expendi
tures ivhile “on the move,” for that
time. We shall afterivard speak ot
wintering. Upon looking over the
books of the company we find that
“hotel and livery” amounted to
$700,000; “Advertising.” $490,000;
“Incidentals,” $135,550; “Smith
ing,” $25,450; “Lots,” $25,090;
“Lights,” $24,407; “Woodwork,”
$26,224; “Harness,” $15,057; “Li
censes,” corporation, county, State
and Government, $151,448. And
during the six years last passed the
cost of transportation by railroads
; m muted to $225,000. The grand
total reaches the enormous sum oi
$1,824,135. These figures ivere ta
ken by our reporter from the Itin
eracy, a journal in which every
item of income and expenditure is
entered day by day, as well as gen
eral notes upon the route traveled.
Wo gather from this book that
■>viiliin eighteen years this company
has passed over 111,853 miles, a
distance of about four times around
the earth.
Fifty-one years ago, old John
Robinson, as ho is called in the pro
fession, began the circus business,
and retired only a short time ago to
enjoy the ease and wealth he had
earned by prudence and industry.
But the troupe that gained an envi
able reputation through exertion has
never been disbanded, and is now
flourishing under the management
of his sons. This show starts out
from Cincinnati every spring,return
ing in time to fit out for the suc
ceeding campaign. It is from the
books of this company that 3ve have
made the extracts given above, and
we iio33' propose to present some
account of its composition, and to
mention tho amounts expended in
this city during the annual refit-
ting.
On visiting the stables on Race
street we found more than sixty
horses, all in prime condition,
though just returned from a ten
months’ journey. Many of these
are valuable on account of the train
ing required to fit thorn for the
ring, among t3Vo manege horses
from the hands of Francani, and a
trick horse taught by Mr. Sam
Stickney. Fifty or more shaggy
shelties are tied to a long rope ex
tending tho length of the stables.
These ponies were imported by Mr.
Robinson, and ivere carefully selec
lected for their diminutive size.
They are used as teams in the “Lil
liputian Chariots. ’ About forty
cages of animals will travel with
the show this spring.
not the wolves, bears and foxes of
the menageries of older times, but
rare and curious beasts —the giraf
fe , the rhinoceros and the great
seals at the head.
The expense of feeding these an
imals during their stay here is, of
course, great, but a small sum in
comparison with the the carriage
maker’s bill; for, at the end of the
season, every cage requires painting
and many of them extensive re
pairs. Tlie three shops of Olilsen
,v Havekotte are filled with Robin
son’s cages in various stages of
renovation, affording work to a
large number of mechanics. And
here 3ve saiv the splendid band
wagons. glittering with gold and
o-lass. Ono of the: e is-adorned with
some remarkable line wood carvings,
and cost, when new, $5,000. Then
too, tlie canvass workers find em
ployment in mending the tents, and
the hands of three or four shops arc
busied in making harness, or in re
pairing tlie old sets; and ivhen 33 r e
think of the many other things that
must be done to prepare the show
for the road, we must say that the
Robinsons get off cheaply at $50,000
or $60,000. Here, certainly, are ex
penditures enough to make one
wonder how the business can be
made remunerative, and yet we have
said nothing in regard to the salar
ies paid to the performers, and the
wages demanded by the army of
grooms and tent men. AY hat these
amount to ive do not. kno33 T . We liad
some hesitation in asking what each
of the veil-know artists received,
but w r e were told in a general way
that the salaries of circus perform
ers varied from $25 to SSOO a iveek,
Mr. James Robinson and Madame
Dockrell having each received the
last named sum. It xvill be seen
that it costs a great deal of mon y
“to run a sho33 T ANARUS,” and that the pro
prietors do not pocket all that has
been taken at the door. — Cin. Eng.
YOUNG MEN TAKE A START.
Tise First Tliousaml Utillars.
We commend the following ex
cellent remarks from a writer in
ono of our exchanges to tho young
men of the country, and say to
them, be up and doing. They have
no time to stand waiting for some
thing to turn up. Such men are
no account. Providence helps the
the man ivlio helps himself:
The first thousand dollars that a
young man, after going out into
the world to act for himself, earns
and saves, will generally settle the
qeustion of business life with him.
There may bo exceptions to this
statement, for a rule 3vc think it
will hold true.
The condition is that the young
man actually earned the thousand
dollars in question. He does not
inherit this sum. It does not come
to him by a streak of good luck, as
the result of a fortunate venture in
the purchase and sale of a hundred
shares of stock. It is the fruit of
his personal industry. He gives
his time and his labor for it. While
he is tliuh earning and saving it, he
must earn two or three, or perhaps
four times as much to pay his cur
rent expenses. He is consequently
held sternly to the task of industry
for a considerable period. Tho di
rect consequence to him is steady,
continuous and solid discipline in
the habits of industry—in patient,
persistent, forecasting and self de
nying effort, breaking up all the
tendencies to indolence and frivolity
and making him an earnest and
watchful economist of time.
Ho not only learns hoiv to work,-
but lie also acquires the Jove of
work, and moreover he learns the
value of the sum ivhich he has saved
out of his earnings. He has toiled
for it he has observed its sloiv in
crease from time to time, and in
his estimate it represents so many--
months or years of practical labor.
His ideas of life are shaped by his
own experience. These natural ef
fects of Aiming tlie first thousand
dollars 3vc hold to bo very large
benefits.
They are just the qualites of
mind and body ivhich are most like
ly to secure business success in af
ter years. The constitute the best
practical education ivhich a man
can have in this working world.
They are gained in season for life’s
purposes, at the opening period,
just-as they are wanted, ivhen fool
ish notions are most likely to mis
lead an inexperience brain, and
when, too, there is full opportunity
for expansion and development in
later years.
Men have but one life to live; and
hence they start from opening man
hood but once. And tho manner
in which they start, the purposes in
view, and the habits they form,
will ordinarily determine tho entire
sequel to their career on earth.
To succeed, men must have tho ele
ments of success in themselves.
One great reason why there are so
many useless, inefficient and pover
ty-stricken men on earth —or rather
boys, seeming to bo men —consists
in the simple fact that they do not
start. A prominent reason why
the children of the rich so frequent
ly amount to nothing, may be found
in luxury, ease and indolence which
marked the commencement of their
lives. It is the law of God that
wo should be workers on earth;
and no one so ivell consults the best
development of his being as when
he conforms his practice to this law.
The workers in some suitable
sphere are the only really strong
men in this world.

jggy Yes, the tendency of modern

$2.50 A YEAR.
Whiskey Drinking.
Take any number of intemperate
and temperate persons from fifteen
to twenty years of age, while eigh
teen of the intemperate die, only
ten die who are temperate 5 but be
tween the a • s of twenty and thir
ty, five inteinper.it persons die and
only one temperate; thirty and for
ty the proportion is fur to one.
But look at it in another light.
If a man is temperate up to twenty
his chances for life is forty-two
years, that is, he is likely to live un
til he is forty-four years old; if in
temperate, he will most probably
die at thirty-five; thus those 'tsho
drink liquor freely while young,
scarcely .live out half their days, as
a rule; living longer the less they
“indulge.” Then there is the cost
of liquor drinking. Mr. liuffner,
the very able and industrious Su
perintendent of Public Instruction
iu Virginia, says that the retail li
quor stores in that State sell over
eleven millions of dollars worth of
liquor in a year, which is just about
equal to the whole amount of wheat
raised on the soil; and if } r ou take
into account what is sold in the
shape of “bitters,” which is really
only liquor diguised, but more cost
ly, a million or two, or more, is ad
ded to the amount, to say nothing
of the loss of time while under the
influence of liquor, and the expense
to the Stale of prosecuting for
crimes committed by the intemper
ate; and in addition the caring for
individuals and families impover
ished directly by the intempej-ato
habits of some members of the fam
ily; and then there is the mortifica
tion and heart-agony of disgraced
wives and sons and daughters. And
yet our representatative men in the
halls of legislation, in almost every
State, and in England, too, will give
a man the privilege of selling liquor
to any one who can pa}’ the money,
for ten or fifteen dollars a.year, and
this, too, in the very dawn of tTffc
twentieth century of Christian civ
ilization. —Body and Mind-
J£g“ “I am weary, now—my poor
tired brain needs rest,” said Old
Mac-Stinger to a pretty young
school teacher who was boarding in
the family; “will you take me to
your room, my dear, where there is
a fire, and read Milton’s ‘Paradise
Lost’ to me while 1 seek repose ?”
“I’ll rest your poor tired brain with
this rolling-pin if you don’t get out
of this —you miserable old deceitful
hypocrite!” remarked Mrs. Mac-
Stinger, emerging from the pantry
very nnexpectly. “Give the old
man a chance, can’t you?” yelled
tuo boy, who was taking a slide
down the banister.
