Cruelty to the Youths Who Practice for
the Arena.
(Letter in Pall Mall Budget.)
I can corroborate from an SndcH
hie recollection what Mr. Whitting
ham says about the barbarous cruel
ty to which the circus boys are taught
to perform their tricks for.lhe amuse
ment of the public. I once went
into a well known circus iu the day
time—it is a far better known circus
than Ginett's, but I shall not name it
as Ido not wish to be obliged to
prove my words iu a court of law—
and I saw a poor little devil of about
eight or ten years of age going
through his morning drill in the
ring. He had nothing on but a shin
and pair of trousers, and he had to
make a certain number of somer
saults, tire or six, without stoppil g
from one line drawn in the dust to
another. In order to corne hack to
his starling line lie had to pass every
one or two minutes, giddy and pant
ing, between the cushioned ring and
a gentleman, a manager of the cir
cus, who held in Ids hand a long, cut
ting wiiip such as I imagine a cow
boy might use to subdue a back
jumper. If the beggar jicrformed
the prescribed number of somersaults
Mr. Merryman lot him pass witli a
smile and one (only one) long, play
ful cut across the shoulder*, a face
tieusness which always elicited a
howl from the victim ami a grin
from the grooms. And if ho fail'd
in one of Ills somersauils, if, as often
happened, tho little arms were too
week to support ttie body in the re
verso position, then the cruelist jock
ey that ever sat down to finish by a
neck was an angel compared to Mr.
Merryman. cutting whip
traveled with an indescribably horri
ble sound, from Ihe nape of that
child’s neck Ia tiie calves of his legs,
and the flimsy cotton shirts nml the
ragged breeches were little or no pro
tection. I was only a boy then, and
could do nothing but go away sick
From that day to this I have never
been able to go to a circus, though I
hoped until I read Mr. Whittinghams
letter that the system had disappear
ed along with a great many other bar
barities. Now, I never shall go into
a circus again, for whenever the
young gentleman in pinks liglijs am)
spangles should appear smiling, his
sallow cheeks smeared with rouge,
somehow or other a horrible vision
of a wlyatetl hack would coma be hoc
my eves and the swish of that Wwte
ble whip would sound In my etfrs,
SVHY tiKS LAWTON ISKCI.INKH.
The New York Tribune closes a
long article on Ihe opinion of the At
torney General in Gen. Lawton’s
case a. follows: “The real point of
Mr. Garland’s opinion is that a part
of the constitution ia itself unconsti
tutional, and we regret to any that
the President needles-ly puts his fool
into it by indorsing Mr. Garland’s
absurd position. The only level-head
ed man,apparently, in the whole trnn
action is Gen. Lawton. He is evident
ly dissatisfied witli the construction
and declines the appointment which
lie had before been anxious to
till.”
We do not know what view Gen.
Lawton takes of the Attorney Gen
eral's opinion. Ho may or mat not
regard it as sound. It is probable,
however, that he did not decline the
Russian mission because he lacked
confidence in the Attorney General's
interpretation ot the constitutional
amendment that was interposed as
an objection to his acceptance of the
mission.
The probability ia that he thought
that notwithstanding the Attorney
General's opinion, his appointment
might prove to ho embarrassing to
the administration and he is not the
kind of a mail to accept an office un
der such circumstances. Those who
know him will of course agree with
the Tribune's statement that he is lev
el-headed, but they will lianlly agree
with the Tribune's conclusion that he
declined the mission because he fear
ed that the (senate, in December,
would not agree with the Attorney
General’s interpretation of the amend
meut.The facts.so far as known.seem to
indicate that he did not decline an ap
pointment that he would like to hare
bad in order to save himself from an
noyance in the tntui-e, but because he
did not want the administration to
be annoyed or embarrassed on liis ac
count.—Savannah News.
Some time ago in Hancock county
Ella Jackson, separated frem her hus
band, the latter occupying the house
in which both had lived, and would
not give his wayward wife any of
the furniture thereof. On Monday
Ella waited until her husband and
children went to work, and deliber
ately set tire to the cabin, and in a
short while both house and contents
were destroyed. She will likely be
committed, as the court is now trying
the case.
A BOLD THAI IS BOBBEK.
A dispatch of the 30tli ult.. from
Indianapolis Ind., says : The follow

is usually carried in the baggage car
occupied by the messenger and bag
gage master. It was as usual the first

o’clock the train slopped four or five
minutes for water at Harrodsburg,

passenger happened to be looking out

the light from the engine saw a man

WADE HAMPTONS STORY.
(From the Youth's Companion.}
Gen. Hampton tells me that while
on ids Mississippi plantation he saw a
tame crow that could laugh and talk.
They bird would say •‘Hello!"
“How are you?” and several other
things of like import.
It was the most wonderful raven
since the days of Barnabv Rudge ami
Edgar Poe. One morning a vast
number of crows assembled in a tree
on the plantation and prepared for a
pow-wow.
Tl'.e tame bird flew among them,
and saluted the congregation with a
brisk —
“Hello! How are you?”
His astonished brethren scattered in
alarm, as if they had been tired upon
from a mountain howitzer.
Tins marvelous fowl of the air was to
have been taken to the New Orleans
Exposition, but its sudde:< disappear
ance prevented. Gen. lluuploii sur
mises that some uegro shot him bv
mistake.
In 188”. a negro named Bill !-eo, in
Lumpkin, seriously stabbed another
negro, and afterward shot at Sheriff
Holder, who tried to arrest him. Bill
made his eseaiio. A few weeks ago
a Mississippi detective, while looking
in Alabama for a fugitive from his
own State, stopped Bill and captured
him. He was carried to Lumpkin last
week. The Governor offered a re
ward of slot>. for Bill's capture. Bill
claims tiiat he only fired his gun at
Mr. Holder to frighten him, at the
time he had no desire to kill
him. He is of the opinion that
detectives are sharp people, and says
that the one who arrested him at
tended several meetings at the church
with him disguised as a negro, and
sung and prayed as loud as any negro
at the meeting.
The little daughter of Mr. Abels,
wh'o live? on Mr. James Campbell's
place in Jasper county, was dreadful
ly bitten and lacerated by a vicious
sow, one day last week, and a physi
cian had to be called to dress her
wounds. It was with considerable
difficulty she was rescued before she
was fatally injured.
