A Pleasant Surprise.
A number our friends aud rela
tives entered into a league with our
bettor half recently to got possession
of our home , which they successful
did on thu night of Tuesday Sept.
10th. But wo can astnuo you that
it was acuomplishod withitut our
knowledge or consent.
They worked a ruse upon us , by
which wo wore detained up town
until late aud when we got home
we found that thu peace and quiet
oi ! our homo had been invaded and
that we were at the mercy of a
crowded house. Comprehending
the situation at a glance wo surrendered
ored aud gracefully submitted to
the inevitable. Finally when oaoli
had finished relating the part he or
she hud played in the accomplish
incut of the radollov. Richards and
Willis Cad well made their appear
ance I rom a .sidoroom bearing the
trophies of our guests which they
had provided for thu occasion.
Rev. Richardn , who assumed the
role of spokesman fur our friendly
guests informed us that we had
reached our fiftieth birthday which
markeT the event of starting on the
HGooud half of a oontury of our
earthly existan-n1. Ilo continued
Inn nun ark i's by making several
complimentary statements of us
tvhioh wo had not merited and en
couragements for the future. In
conclusion ho presented us with a
tine upholstorcd rocker which our
butter half and our children had
contributed for our declining yoarp ,
an index Bible with ilexiblo cover
aud other small mementos of friend
ship which our guests had brought
with them as evidences of their
friendship.
As it was the first time wo had
been so uncermoniously.yot , pleas
antly surprised in a uooial way , we
wore not at our bout aud could say
but little in expressing our inmost
felings of gratiludofor the plcaaanfc
visit' and their kind regards for our
welfare. Refreshments wore serv
ed and a pleasant time was enjoyed
by us all. The oeoasion is one.
that will always bo romombarod by

Ortgonian , July 2U.
Sells & Gray's utrcua has como
nnd gone. Crowded houses witnessed - '
nessod both the afternoon and even
ing performances. The small boy
ban boon July tempted to leave his
happy homo and win immortal fame
under the canvas. The small girl
kas held her breath , while larger
and considerably older girls have
performed daring feats on the
trapeze or swung high in the air
with only a strap clenched in their
tooth for support. It was a great
day for Young America ; likewise
for older America , or at least for a
goodly portion thereof.
Sells & Gray's show is worth the
price. There are > somu mighty
clover things in U. The plane of
honor must go to the Eddy amily ,
all-round aurobats aud tumblers.
The family consists of mon , women
and a olevor child , 7 yoara of age.

not. ToNiim it in not buainoas , but
pleasure.
The Ifiddy family does not appear
in tights , On tlio contrary , the
men do their not in dross suits , nnd
tlno wotuon in long skirts. They
nro thu oriainntoro of thia kind of
work , and they do it well , Tumb
ling in n parlor drees ia not uaby.
A detailed doHoription of their not
oinuot bo given here , but it ia
scientific tumbling , and pleased the
audiences.
To Min Kdna Marietta , the bnro-
buuk ruler , should bo given the
second place of honor. Slio it ) a
wonder. She sits lightly on the
bnok of a beautiful milkwhuto horsu
wliilo that animal cantors around
the ring , nnd performs wonderful
foals. A streamer is raised over
the horse's back , and Miss Edna
first jumps over this streamer aa the
horse pasflos under it , and on the
next round she turna a somersault
over it and lights on her foot. It
was thia poiTormanoo that caused
the afidionoo to hold its broath.
Ono of the features of the alio.w
is known as "tho woman with the
iron jaw. " She JH ono ot the Tyholl
fllstors. Wrapped in the American
Hag , she clasps a strap which ia
riv/Hod to the end of a rope , and is
ht/ilfd to the ceiling. With only
the strength of her jaws to prevent
her from falling to the ground , she
swings round and round , gradually
increasing her momentum until she
looks like n red , white and blue
spinning top whirling in midair.
When she comes down she is ao
dizzy she reels , and has to bo led
off the stage by her sister , who al
so has a jaw that is no slouch.
The Earl sisters , Maud and llazol ,
also perform aerial feats that are
hair-raising. They leap from
trapeze to trapeze with startling
agility , and add much to the good
part of the show.
And wo musn't forgot the Bovo
lapus. Chained in the main en
trance tent , thin remarkable produot
of the jungle attracted wide atten
tion. It in probably the ugliest
specimen of animal creation that
over uanio over the piko.
Quo thing that can bo said for
Sells tt Gray's circus is that tilings
happen when they ought to , Every *
thing moves like olookwork. Tharo
was no disorder and no accidents.
