The performers ot what are
know as “contortion acts’’ are or-
dinarly emaciated, loosely-jointed
persons, like ill-made manikins
that have a tendency to tumble
down in heaps, and their doing ol
unnatural and preposterous things
with their vertebra: seems easy
enough for suoli creatures, who
have no muscles to get in the way
of the bones that they fling so care
lessly about. Hence it is rather
surprising to see a person who is a
model of physical perfection do
these same feats, and when that
person happens to he a beautiful
young woman, graceful in every
I movement as a kitten or an infant,
with the perfect form of an ideal
Venus and the strength of a young
lioness, surprise blends most hap
pily with admiration. That is why
Miss Rose Julian is, in the estima
tion of every one among the thou
sands who go to the Barnum shorr,
a principal feature of that varied,
kaleidoscopic,and rather overwhel
ming entertainment. It would hard
Iv be fair to Ignore her brother,
who appears and performs with her,
for he is a very fine tumbler and
acrobatic performer, and can take
liberties with his backbone as few
mortals dare. But able aud come
ly us lie is, be cannot be as pretty
as Ids exceptionally charming sis
ter, and does not possess her super
latire hmberness. Ho might he
able to toss her up in the air as
easily as she does him, but he never
could impress the spectator with
the idea that he could bite the back
of Ids own neck if be wished to,
and nobody who has Been her per-
tormance will positively aflirm that
she might not do so.
No prettier girl than Rose Juli
an ever trod the Bawdust arena; but
in a walking costume, in private
life, she is even more charming
'han she appears to the public.
Regular features; large, expressive,
deep blue eyes; thick brown eye-
lirows; a luxurious wealth of glossy
brown tresses, above a broad snowy
brow; a small mouth, with lips of
cherry red; delicate shell like ears,
and a complexion rivalling the pet
als of a blush rose in purity of tint
—such are her charms. Her moth
er. who looks more like au elder
sister than a parent, is further
awav from her while she is per-
'orming than at any other time,
day or night, and then stands in
the entrance. A very wide awake
matron is Mrs. Julian. Nothing
of the “alpaca mother’’ of the stage
about her, but a clear-headed, prac
tical person, who has taught
her daughter her business, tees that
she does it, and takes very good
care that nobody iuterferes.
Mother aud daughter were in Mr.
Hutchinson's ofllce, the other day,
to sign the contract for the tenting
stason with the Barnuiu show,
whfcn a reporter chanced to be pres-
ent. In response to some curios
ity impelled questions Miss Julian
said:
My mother taught me all my
bmiuess, beginning when I was
only 5 years old, and kept training
me for three years before 1 made
my first appearance on the stage
in Melbourne, Australia, where I
was born.”
•■I myself had been a contortion

immodest dress. I believe that I

the line,’ and I have mamma to

Julian's shapely little nose was
rubbing the carpet on the stage as
she, with a backward bend, picked

Both the girl and her mother i Here, Mjr Friend,
laughed heartily, and the former Westmoreland's Calisava Tonic,
replied:
“Not the least. Ugh! The very
idea of daubing one’s self with oill
It is positively nasty. The things
that are needed to make a contor
tionist are natural aptitude for the
work and long, patient practice,
begun at an early age. But many,
many times ladies have come to
ine in my dressing-room and met
me at the stage door, and even
huoted me up at home and asked
me that same question. And they
also ask me it ih: work does not
hurt me, and if 1 am not compelled
to do it? And most of them seem
much surprised when I tell them
that I like it very much, thoug.i
some of them do whisper to me
that they just wish they could do
it.”
“What are your various contor
tion acts? How do you designate
them? Have they names?”
“Names? Oh, yes. But the
nomenclature of the profession is
peculiar, and 1 should despair
making you or the public under
stand much ot it.”
“Try.”
“Well, we change our program
me frequently, lor we have an al
most infinite variety of acts, bu
this is what I do now: First,
there is the entree, in which 1

back and forward bendB, forward
bend on chairs, back bend and ‘flip
flap’—all one trick; next, two hand,
no hand and ankle; next, the steeple
on the chairs; next, the wrestle,
throwing my brother over in a
'pancake' and then in a flip flap;
next, ’pyramiding’ up the backs ol
chairs, a row of fl p flaps and roly
poly, where 1 put myself in a ball,
with my feet over my shoulders,
and roll around; next, pieking up
a pieee of paper, running backward
and forward in a back bone; finally,
running around my head on tne
floor. My brolherdoes Ob, not

he is out of secondary importance.
He performs with me. He is an
excellent general tumbler, and with
me he does round off, flip flap, and
back; spot backs, pyramids up the
chairs, hand balance on the steeple
chair, with somersault ofl, and so
on.”
“The skill of my children is not
confined to contortion business and
tumbling,” said Mrs. Julian, smil
ing with an air of calm confidence.
“They do as fine a trapeze act as
anybody, and have not their su

her training was very careful and
giadual. We never forced her to
any exercise or subjected her to
anything that could hurt her. And
there was no occasion to do so, for
she evinced a strong liking for the
work from the very first, and has
never got tired of it.”

heartily. “I like it ever so muob.

in California, even if she is to be a

Ah, yes. Uenliemen are fond of

of manner—“the letters come to

This invaluable and successful
remedy w is placed upon the market
less than two years ago. It was
intended only for our local patrons
but so efficacious and wonderful
were the results of its use that its
fame spread all over the Southern
Slates, and the rapidly increasing
demand could be supplied only by
enlarging and re-enlarging our ex
tensive laboratory until now we are
lully prepared to meet the great
and ever increasing demand from
ail parts of the country.

If the exhibitions of the honor
and affections of the Southern peo
ple for ex-President Davis which
are now being made bad been made
eight years ago, the Northern
hloody-sbirt shriekers would have
been calling the country to arms.
Now the great body of the North
ern people appear to look upon
thesu demonstrations with equani
mity, if not with admiration. Even
the bitterest Radical sheets fail to
raise a howl, and only sneer at pa
triotic sentiments wh’ch they can
not appreciate, and the regard for
the heroes of the Lost Canse, and
the motives of its defenders, that
they cannot understand. Mutual
frankness, respeot and confidence
between tbe sections will, indeed,
make the union perpetual.
