T. B. Peterson, No 102 Chestnut St., Philadel phia, Publisher. Col. Wood’s Museum. By reference to an advertisement, which we pub lish to-day, it will be perceived that Col. Wood’s Museum of living wonders will exhibit in this city, on Thursday next, 27th inst. This exhibition con tains some of the rarest and most wonderful curi osities in the known world. Madame Cloffullia, aged 26 years, with a beard 4 inches loug, black ebony, and soft like silky hair. Her son, the Young Esau, three years old, his shoulders and back covered with hair, and his face encircled with whiskers one inch long. Miss Silvia Hardy, the American Giantess, (not she who was here last year) nearly eight feet high, weighs 381 pounds, and re quires 154 3-4 yards of ordinary dress goods to make her a full dress. She is a twin, and weigh ed only 3 1-2 pounds at birth. Mrs, Ellen Briggs, the smallest woman in the world, 32 years old, and but little over 30 inches high—been married 12 years, and is the mother of 3 beautiful children. Gen. Gifford, the smallest man living, 27 years old —forty inches highland the Swiss Warblers. All these most wouderful curiosities can be seen for the small sum of 25 cents. Who will not invest? Spalding & Rogers’ Circus. On Friday last, this company favored the citi zens of Griffin and vicinity , with an entertainment ■never before equalled in this place. The actors are all of the rarest qua lifications in the profes sion. Among the number was James Robinson, said to be the best rider in the world. He has •occasionally visited this locality from his early boyhood, when he was the favorite of all lovers of sports of the ring and now in his manhood he is no less popular. Others exhibited equal profi ciency in feats of strength and agility in their re spective departments. The horses were of the first quality, and in fine order and condition. One or two of these exhibited a knowledge of words and signs, which were truly astonishing. Messrs. Rog ers & Spalding are entitled to the reputation not only of having the best stock, both man and beast, but his agents and assistants are the most genteel, polite and accommodating of any company which ever travelled through this part of the country. — It is not our purpose to discuss the ethical merits of circuses and other like performances, at this time, but we take this occasion to say, if such • sports are morally wrong, the evil is greatly mit igated by the genteel manner in which every thing is conducted by this company. To all who delight in witnessing sports of the ring, we would com mend Spalding & Rogers, as the model company of the. world. Correspondence of the London Star. The 31 ysteries, Miseries and Delights of a Turkish Bath. 1 alighted at the door of the head bathing establishment of Grand Cairo. Behold me, now, in the vestibule of a genu ine Eastern hummum. Two tall Numidian .slaves assist me to disrobe, and in the place of my multiplied garments attire me in a piece of Joose cloth, buttoned just above the hips. Thus denuded, I am mounted on a pair of wooden •clogs, or pattens, about ten inches in height. ‘Tam then supported on either side, while I make my way over the glassy marble floor to •a bathing saloon, number one. Here I am stretched upon a plank covered by a white cloth, and recline at an angle of forty-five.— The room is then filled with vapor, and in about ten minutes I am perspiring profusely through e.vcry pore. ‘ I grow faint, the vapor is turned offa few buckets of tepid water are thrown over me, a cup of coffee is administered, and a few whiffs at a chiboque. I am revived,: and am straightway into bathing saloon* number two. \ Here sitting on the side of a marble reser voir of hot water, 1 am drenched with buckets of the scalding liquid. lam then laid down and scrubbed from head to foot with , woolen gloves and a sort of fuller’s earth. Then drench ed again. I’m next submitted to the opera tion of peeling, a process which removes all ac cumulation of dirt and scurf from the surface ; which, in fact, seems to take off an outer skin. The peeling over, lam drenched again. The next stage is that of pumice stoning—applied to the inside of the hand, the soles of the feet and the heels, until all horny and hard parts are rubbed down to a delicate softness. Now comes a season of comparative leisure and re pose. While lamon my back, the operator fe tutting my finger and toe nails, and carefully extracting frowi <every part of my body what ever is extraneous, unsightly or inconveni ent. lam next made made to sit up, and in my sitting posture am shaved—the hairs are care fully pnlled but of my nostrils—rtiy ears are picked—my hair is eut—my whiskers and moustache are are tHttttWCd, 0M tiiy bead is, at last, declared to be finished. To these process es succeeds that of shampooning; namely, mold ing the flesh-, cracking the joints, and loosening every integument in every socket throughout tbe nettle. Even, a lathering all over with a peculiar kind of agreeable emollient soap ; and then, another drenching. The time is come now to be introduced into bathing saloon num ber three The atmosphere of this is, after the temperature of the last, gratefully cool, and here lam permitted to immerse myself in a large cistern of moderately cold water. Oh ! how refreshing and restoring, after the sweat ings, rubbings, scrubbings, scaldings, pullings, pinebings, kueadings, crackings, hair-tweaking, belatherings. and pumice stoning of Nos. 1 aud two. I am reluctant to quite my present quarters but am commanded to get out. Ido so, and my tender, aud new-born infant-like skin, (as susceptible as the surface of a skinned eel,) is gently wiped down, and enveloped in a sheet then, mounted once more on my lofty pattens, and supported as at first, I am led back to the robing saloon, Where laid upon a mattrass on the floor with my head raised by a pillow, and with a quilt over me, lam presented with a cop of coffee and a Persian Kullian, I sip, and puff, and dose; and dose, and puff, and sip, and am of opinion that that after all I have undergone, my present bless has been cheaply purchased, lam roused from my reverie by a polite Inquiry if I will be a second time sham pooed, to which I answer: ‘cerlainly not.’ In half an hour, thereabouts, I rise and dress, and leave the hununum. And now it is I feel the benefit of my bath. I seem to have gone back to the days of my childhood. My body is light er and more elastic than a feather. My spirits are exuberant. lam conscious of breathing the circumambient air through millions of pores. I am ready to shake hands with the donkey and caress the boy. The future never so cheer ing. lam ready to do anybody injthe uni verse a good turn. So ends my Turkish bath. Getting into Practice. The Boston “Anglo-Saxon” tells this good story : A young physician, having tried in vain to get into practice, at last fell upon the following expedient to set the ball rolling. He sprang upon his horse once a day, and drove at full speed through the village. After an absence of an hour, lie would return and carry with him some of his instruments—thinking if he could impress his neighbors that he had practice, they would begin to place confidence in his ability A wag, who more than suspected the deceit which he was practicing, determined to know the truth. He accordingly kept his horse in readiness, and the next time the doctor gallop ed by his door, sprang on his steed and placed himself on the young gentleman’s trail. The doctor saw the man following at his heels, bnt did not at first evince any uneasiness. At length, however, he thought it advisable to turn down a narrow lane. The pursuer followed on like an evil genius • but the doctor was not discouraged, as another road lay a short dis tance ahead of him, down which he turned.— The other kept close at his heels, and the doc tor grew impatient to, return home. There was no house by the way at which he could af ford any pretext for stopping. In the mean time his saddle bags were with him, and he was otherwise equipped for business, so he could not return in the face of his neighbor, without ex posing the secrets of the trade in a most palpa ble manner. Every bound of his steed carried him further from his home, and the shades of night began to fall on hill and tower. Still the sound of horses hoofs was thundering in his ear, and he was driven to his wit’s end ; but just as he turned the angle of a wood, he heard a low moan. A man lay prostrate near the fence of a meadow, and blood gushed from a fearful wound in his arm. He had eut an artery with a scythe, ond was in danger of immediate disso lution. The young doctor sprang from his horse and staunched his wound. Bandages were applied, and his life was saved. The pur suer had only thrown himself from his horse, and as the physician tied up the last bandage he looked up in his face and said—“ How lucky neighbor, that I Was able to arrive just in time r The wondering spectator was struck with awe and after assisting the wounded man home he told such a miraculous tale to the wonder ing villagers, as secured to the young physician a reputation not only for skill, but also for su pernatural prescience. Thus did the merest ac cident contribute more to his advancement than years of studious toil could have done, and the impertinent curiosity of a waggish neighbor opened for him a path to business which the most influential patronage might never bare provided for him.
