procession is to be made in the forenoon.
The workmen, tnuvasinon, and tho like
have to take breakfast at 11 o'clock nt night.
Then they get no meal till dinner, after the
procession, say at noon. Wherever they
are, the work must be attended to first, and
eating is a second consideration. With tho
performers, gymnasts, riders, clowns nnd
the like, it is not so bail. They get better
lay and better food. As a rule, they live on
ho best food there is to be bail where they
happen to be, and they take a great deal
of it Most of thorn are great beef
eaters, and nre not very particular whether
the ment is cold or hot, so long as it is good
and plenty. They are very particular, lu
ever, about cleanliness. I have seen tweuty
or thirty of them get UP and lenvo the table
becAuso the table cloth was dirty. And
when they wan* a meal they want it, and
will have it I have often seen them leave
hotel whore they would have to wait fif
teen minutes for a dinner thnt was paid for,
nnd go to a restaurant where they would
have to bny another. They won't ent unless
they are hungry; but they rto always hun
gry after a night performance, and will not
go to bed without a hearty supper. They
snj they can't sleep if they are empty.
"One thingthat is pecnliar about them is
that they do not take medicine, and they
are remarkably healthy. When they ure
oat of sorts they diet themselves, each one
according to his own ideas; lint I don't
think I ever saw $.10 worth of medicine
nronnd a circus in nil the years I bnvo been
in the business. Yes, they drink. Not to
excess, but nearly all of them drink when
they feel like it. They nevor drink, how
ever, before performing. They arOvery
careful of themselves. They hove to be or
they would not last long.
"Ab a matter of conrse, with their irregu
lar habits, they are, in a certain sense, ex
travagant This, however, is mainly in the
matter of eating. Experience tenches them
very soon, if their own sense does not at
first that they must take the very best
possible care of themselves physically,
and that good eating is a primary consider
ation.''
There has been in late years a vast
improvement in nil departments of tho
traveling circns, and in nothing has this
been more observable to those in the busi
ness than in the provisions made for the
health and comfort of the employes. A

An llnailvertUeil Comeiljr That was Flayed
In Union Square.
New York Bon.
A handsome closed brougham, with nn
enamelled monogram upon the shining
olive panels anil tin- silver lamps and the
puli dosl mounting* glistening m tin .un
tight, stood in front of ono of tho grent
stores in Union Square on Wednesday af
ternoon. Tho coats of tho tall bay horses
wereglo*sy and smooth, the silver-monnted
harness trappings shone brightly, anil eve
rything about the cqnipagewos its it shonld
be, except tho coachman. Not that
tho coachman was less elegant in
appearance than tho carriage or the
horses. The proportions of his chest were
I in- great '-".it lilt- -1 without a
wrinkle, his tall, silk hat shone with the
undimmed luster of the worker's gloss, a
handsome far cape adorned his broad shoul
ders, and his gloves were now and perfect.
But instead of holding his hood erect with
thnt dignity nnd lmutenr that belong alone
to coachmen and kings, he nodded sleepily
ujion hie box, nnd every other minute his
chin sunk into the fur of his cape. There
were no other carriages neat, and tbs sleepy
coachmen's head bobbed up nnd dowD.
Destiny bad arranged tunt at this inne
tare of affaire J dm A. Mnckay should be
puasing through Union Square with a
friend on his way tc dress for the afternoon
performance of E.angaline, at the Four
teenth Ktieet Theatre. The comedian en
tertains a lofty con euipt for men who can
not stay up three nights in succession and
remain awake the next day; and, therefore,
when he caught sight of the nodding coach
man, his soul was disturbed. He stopped
and remarked to his friend:
“I'll bet $4 that that dnffer rill nod his
bat off in less than eight minutes."
The other refused the riak aa unduly haz
ardous, and the two watched the coachman
for a few momenta, and were about to walk
on again, when Mr. Mackay we* suddenly
seized with an inapiratiou. He bode his
friend go on and wait for him before tbe
next ahow window. Then he stepped np to
the side of the carriage, opened the door
softly, and then slammed it ahut again.
The effect upon the coachman was elec
trical. Up went his chin into the air, and
in bis features could be detected the relief
bo felt that hia mistress had got into the
carriage srithont detecting hia criminal
sleepiness. Then he turned his head
slightly to receive hia direction*, and ob
served Mr. Mackay apparently in conversa
tion with the occupant of the carriage.
The comedian addressed a few polite re
marks to the empty carriage, said: “Good
alternoorn" raised hia hat and then turned
to the coachman. “Home," ho said, nnd
the brougham turned majestically about
and rolled swiftly np town.
A moment later a sealskin-clad lady
emerged from the store, followed by the
porter carrying half a score of bundles.
Sko walked to the enrbstone and looked
with amazement np nml down the street,
and then tnrncd angrily back to the store.
»“K«r be it from me to intrude upon the
sanctity of her grief," observed Mackay,
softly, and with his friend he walked down

A Vincennes, Ind., special to tht Globe-

manner hsd
been handed down as a beautiful tradition.
So beautiful was she that there are not
wanting those among the older men of the
community who say that Charlotte Thomp
son was the handsomest woman they bod
ever known. Them lived here, too, at that
early day a youth, bright, gallant and
manly, whose memory has always remained
cheru ied and respected by those who
knew him, so much so that his old friends
always speak of Harry Posey iu tho gentlest
terms.
It is not strange, then, that these two
were lo /era in that olden time. The fates
decreed, however, that they should be sep
arated, and the fair lady departed with her
friends for the North, while the disappointed
lover bade adieu to home and kindred and
disappeared in the Sunny South. These
lows, however far npnrt they wandered,
still loved. A Inst letter, missent nnd un
answered, by some particular fatality, crea
ted tho druel separation, but the lovers
nevertheless cherished each other in fondest
remembrance, and were true as steel to
