Last evening, after the performance was over | at the circus, a young man called on Charini and said he wanted to see him on private busi- ness. The old veteran took him into his office and received him with his usual politeness. “T came all the way from Carson to see the show, and I'd like to join,” said the young man. “Oh, I see,” said the circus-man; “ you are a well-formed, healthy-looking young fellow, and I'd like to encourage such as you,” The youth's face brightened. “You don’t chew, smoke or drink; I hope?” bi. Oh, no; honor bright—except soda and er,” “You must leave off these bad habits. They weaken the muscles and paralyze the nerves. You can soon stop drinking, but your salary will not be large until you have overcome these little tendencies. A little lemonade—circus lemonade—is all the performers drink. Call at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning and I will see what I cando, You mustn’t expect over $50 a week, though, at first. We never pay high eauanics until we know just what a man can lo.” The delighted Carsonite went away, and this morning was on hand. Chiarini took him to a tent where three _im- mense Bengal tigers were caged. Handing him a curry-comb and a pair of shears, he re- marked: “Your duties will be comparitively light at first. You will go in the cage and curry the animals down every morning, and about once a week cut their claws; keep ’em down pretty short, so that when they attack the tiger-tainer, Mr. Wilson, they won't lacerate him much. Sometimes, but not more than once a month, you may have occasion to file their teeth, You just throw the animal on his back and hold his head between your knees. If he acts rough, belt him in the nose a few times, Keep belting him until he quiets down.” “ Haven't you got a vacancy in the art de- partment ?” asked the young man from Carson. “Is art your line?” inquired Chiarini. “Yes,” ‘drawled the young man. “In the circuses I've always run with I used to paint the red stripes on the zebras, I—I killed so many tigers keepin’ ‘em straight that the boss wouldn't let me handle ’em, He said I used ‘em too rough.” Chiarini swears that the terror from Carson shall have the first vacancy.—Virginia City Chronicle, Tue Detroit Free Press assures us, on what grounds we don’t know, that the great tooth- pick monopoly is at an end. In fact, the times are getting so hard that no man will buy a toothpick when he can just as well use a ten- penny nail or a carving-knife—J. Y. Comm, Advertiser. We committed a grave error by selecting, in this realistic age, so remote a period as that of Edward IV. for the subject of a drama, We intend to correct this by dramatizing the loose- jointed Talmage, and securing Monsieur le Compte Joannes to perform the leading réle— that of the right leg. To win success in any line, one must consult the tastes of the hour.— Washington Capital. Asourt this time the barber and his customer get into an earnest political discussion, which so distracts the attention of both that the barber doesn't observe, untilthe bottle becomes empty, that he has teen lubricating the cus- tomer’s head for forty minutes, and has got in the neighborhood of a pint of oil poured on to it, which fluid is rapidly working its way towards the customer’s boots. And then the victim discovers how things stand, and pretty soon the police are called in.—Boston Post.
