On the front t ¢ inscription as follows: “John Marshall, Chief Justice of the United States. Erected ‘by the Bar and the Congress of the United States, A. D. 1884." This Inscription was prepared by the members of the Marshall Memorial association, and is certainly entitled to be chat rized as modest,when it is re- membered that the statue is reaily a result of the labors of that association, and that the z $20,660 it supplied fur the purpose came from Philatelphia lavyers alone; yet the bar of the entire try is permitted to share in thecredit of it. The rear of the peflestal Is marked with an ornate wreath of oak and [aurels.

He was careless in his dress, but his manners and speech were singularly gentle and engaging. He was ardently attached to his wife a Miss Mary Ambler, to whom he was mar- ried in 1783, and who lived until 1831. Of THE SIMPLICITY OF mS HABITS it is said that in his journeys from Washington t#Ralcigh, N. C., where he was in the habit of pcesiding over the circuit court, he traveled in a one-horse gig, with po attendant. It is re- lated that on one oceasion he stopped at a pub- lie house to spend the night, and, after ex changing the ordinary courtesies with other travelers, sat down quietly and listened to a discarsion of the merits of Christianity which was carried on by a number of young men pres- ent. Finally one of the youths turned to the shabby-lookiug traveler and said: “Well, old gentleman, what think you of these things?” To their ataazement a most eloquent and nn- answerable appeal followed the question.

BAILEY TELLS WHAT HE KNOWS ABOUT WILD ANIMALS—WHY PEOPLE GO TO THE CIRCUS—THE PROCESS OF SECURING RARE AND CURIOUS ANIMALS EXPLAINED—THE MODERN MENAGERIE AND ITS ORIGIN, “A collection of wild animals is just as neces- .| Sary toa traveling circus like thisas the tumblers and bareback riders are,” remarked Mr. Bailey, one of the proprietors of ‘the greatest show on earth,” to a Srar reporter. The speaker sat near the main entrance of the tent, in the midst of the double stream of people that were hurry- ing inside to witness the evening performance. The circus proprietor was a small man, plainly dressed, with no flashing diamond in his shirt front, as it seems that the proprietor of sucha glittering pageant ought to wear to be in har- mony with his surroundings, if fer no other reason. Mr. Bailey has succeeded, however, in his business, strange as it may scem, without the diamond shirt front, andalso appeared to be well informed on the subject ot wild animals, which subject, evidently to his surprise, a Star reporter had stopped to ask some questions about. “A great many people, who have no practical experience in the circus business,” he continued, watching, with some interest, the movements of the doorkeepers, ‘‘seem to think that the me- nagerie part of the showis rather an obsolete feature of the modern circus. That, however, igagreat mistake. People expect to see rare and curious animals at a circus as much these days as they did twenty or thirty years ago. Some visitors come here exclusively with the idea of seeing tlie animals, and if they happen to wander in the tent and witness the ring per- formance why that is simply accidental.” AN OLD CIRCUS JOKE. The listener laughed to hear this matter-of- fact statement of a fact that has long been the staple of thread-bare jokes. Mr. Bailey didn’t laugh; he simply remarked: * “You didn’t suppose that we would invest so much money in avimals if it wasn’t necessary. @o you? It is necessary, and our collection of animals is more costly each year.” “How much have you invested in your me- nagerie?” asked the listener with some curi- osity. “Well,” was the reply, ‘the actual amount of money invested does not represent the value of this collection as it new stands to us. For ex- ample, there is Jumbo. He is worth $100,000 to us, although he did not cost that much by a great deal. But the fact that he is the biggest elephant in the world distinguishes us from all competitors. It is the knowledge used and the enterprise employed in geu ‘together rare and curious animals that enhances the value of this collection, We might have twice as many animals as we have at present, but numbers are of little value.” “What makes a circus menagerie valuable then?” asked the reporter. re animals that excite the public curi- osity,” was the reply. “Cages of birds, foxes, wolves, bears and enimals of that character would not be revarded by the public as worth ‘oing to see. We seldom exhibit animals native o this country. The kind of circus where there were three or four cages of bears is past. Of course we have got to have a lion.” A GOOD ROARING LION. “What does a good roaring lion cost 7” inter- rupted the listener. “We pay $1,200 for a lion if he is a good one,” replied Mr. Bailey, motioning to an employe to clear the entrance way of some idlers. “They come cheaper when we get them in this country or in England.” “I ald not know that lions were still found in this country, or in England either,” ventured the reporter, with a vague recollection of early studies In natural history. “ Not in a wild state,” said Mr. Balley, in an explanatory tone; “but lions that are born in captivity. “Most of our animals never saw their native country. We raise camels quite as much as we do horsés, and so with other animals, and those that we don’t want we sell to menageries or circus proprietors in other countries, and re- place our stock in the sme way. We have now @ number of animals in the Central Park collec- tion that we have raised.” “-T suppose elephants are the most expensive animals,” guessed the listener. “The first cost is not very great,” was the re- sponse. “It is the transportation that is ex- pensive. Ican get a good elephant in his na- tive country for $500, but it will cost from $1,000 to $1,500 to bring him here. They are the most expensive animals to ship.” “How do you get rare animals?” said the re- porter, after’ a pause in the conversation, which was occupied by Mr. Bailey in an animated col- loquy with one of the employes. “We haye ouragents inthe coast towns in Africa, Asiaand even in Russia, and when we send an order for a certain animal he starts the natives out and they soon captureene. it used to be quite a business for some men to make a trip and gather a collection of animals and then sell them in various countries, but the large number of animals now collected for various purposes in all the principal countries and their natural increase has lessened the demand in the places where these animals are native.” THE RARE ANIMALS. “What animals do you regard as rare in these days?” asked the reporter. “The hippopotamus and rhinoceros are rare, becguse they are difficult to keep alive and well in captivity. Weused to feed them too much. Now we give them less to eat and exercisethem more and succeed very well. A rhinoceros costa about $3,000, but I have known as much as $10,000 to be paid for one.” Jt was becoming evident that Mr. Bailey’s at tention was more absorbed in watching the people pass the ticket takers and calculating the possible receipts for the evening than talk- ing about wild animals. Following the evident direction of the manager's thoughts the reporter remarked that Washington was a good circus town. “It isa good town for one day,” was the re- nse, in a rather injured tone, “but that Is all. onday night I suppose we turned away five or six thousand people, but they didn’t come back to-day. We had a fair audience this afternoon, and we will have a pretty good crowd to-night, but not as much as there should be. Baltimore Isa better town than this.” the familiar Soar School hymn, ‘Tell me the old, old story.” We hear, she says, “of these hymns and tunes going eyerywjiere; children in the streets, young men coming from a meeting in the country, singing ‘along the road as they return at night.” — Pere Monsabre has taken the place of Pere Hyaciathe as the popular preacher at Notre Dame.

For each sermon he receives the modest stipend of a thousand franc, which, of course, according to the rules of tho religious community to which he belongs, he hands over immediately to the bureau of the Dominicans for genera! use of the order. —In reply to the question, “Ought a church member to be disciplinea for keeping race- horses, and running and ting them tor prizes at our county and state fairs?” a religious paper says: ‘Prizes to stimulate farmers in im- proving the breeds of their cattle, and the quality and yield of their produce, are in every respect admissible and right; but in testing the best speed of horses entered for exhibition there is always a large amount of betting on one side or the other. This is gambling, and we are sorry to say that it is becoming an enor- mous evil in agricultural fairs from one end of the country to the other." ———$_-o-—___ Atthe Skating Rink.
