On Friday evening next, thousands of per
sons will Iks comfortably seated In the com
modious grandstands at the M street ball
park, in Lincoln, and their souls will bo "far
away" as their eyes gazo upon tho "purple
peaks remote," at tho feet of which tho mimic
city of l'omiicii lies tranquilly nnd leautifully
realistic. Their thoughts will revert to an
actual city of grandeur and beauty located
at tho foot of Mt. Vesuvius, In the zenith of
Home's wealth, art nnd power some eighteeu
centuries ngo a city larger In size than our
own lieautlful Lincoln. Their eyes will feast
upon n sccno of lenuty but faintly Imngined
from tho reading of efforts of pens. They
will see, just beyond n lake decked with gon
dolas and galleys and bordered with ancient
gardens nnd palaces, the streets of nn ancient
city nlivo with peoplo In odd, picturesque
dress; young and old, busy and idle, rich nnd
loor, men, women and children are there.
Nydin, the beautiful blind girl, intermingles
with tlio populace disposing of her flowers.
Massive buildings of quaint architecture
rise on every Hide. At the left, the marble
palaco of a rich nobleman stands so near the
lake that boats hud their fair and brave oc
cupants nt its steps. Oil a street that seems
perfectly outlined with statuary, tints, How
ers, ferns nnd shrubs, is n massivo triumphal
arch. In the middle foreground is an elo
gnnt marble bath house. In close proximity
to this temple of cleanliness is tho white
marble-columned temple of Isis, the favorite
goddess. To tho left is a most ancient build
ing representing the Greek temple of Nep
tune, of magnificent architecture; it is near
the Colosseum and Forum where gorgeously
robed senators are passing in and out. In
every direction, up tho mountain slope and
beside the bluo waters of tho beautiful Na
ples llay, are villas and picturesque gardens,
temples, etc., while touring to n great dis
tanca stands Vesuvius itself.
As the performance progresses a trumpet
Is beard and from under the triumphal arches
a group of soldiers emerge with standards
and musical Instruments, announcing the
coming of Arbaces, the wealthy Egyptian,
who on this occasion has attempted to duzzle

AnliunU Taught In 1'rrfiirm
Clever Tricks.
Imagine the care, time and patience neces
sary to train n flock of storks, these nr
eutly stupid birds, so thnt they will compre
hends words of command. Imagine thesaine
with a flock of geese, whose Intractable na
ture is so well known to nil, and think also of
the difficulty of training pigs, goats, pigeons,
sheep, dogs and cats, so that they will nr
form clever and dlfllcult tricks at the word
of command. Yet still it has nil been done,
and dono remarkably well, too, and besides
these animals, strange to say, monkeys,
horses, (mules, Wars, hyenas, panthers, leop
ards, tigers, lyons, wolves, camels, giraffe
and rebras, have been so well Instructed that
one would think they were all endowed with
human reason. Home of tho tricks these an
imals execute border on the miraculous, out
el's again npcnr amazing, while some are
the most laughable ever seen. Elephant
have been taught to go through nil the Intri
cate figures of n quadrille by tlio trainer call
ing out the name of each figure. It Is ouo of
tho most astonishing displays of trained ani
mals ever exhibited, astonishing, Ihchuso
aside from the fact that thero are so many of
them, they nro all trained to execute such
Hoiulerfully dllllcult tricks and feats, and
till itiorciwi because hitherto mutt of tiico
creatures have lit-en considered untamable
and i.omo of them Intractable. Nothing,
however, In this line, Is Impossible with

Just now there is an argument among Idle
gossliers iui to which will draw the largest
crowds, Harmim' circus or the grent spec
tacular "Lust Days of I'ompeil," This much
mooted question is tlilllcult to conjure and
why so much talk. We'll all know more
about both after next month. Why take up
time even considering such idle topics when
fall Is so near at hand and so many other
and more Important subjects present them
selves for consideration! Fail Is at hand mid
a subject worthy of thought just now is
Meyer & Co,' new stock which is now arriv
ing. It is useless to wait until every one else

and then take the leavings when now, ere the
Septemtier month rolls on and nwny from

tions for heavier garments, getting the choice
of nice, new, clean, fresh goods. And, by
