COMING: THE BIG SHOW OF THE WORLD.

rTho title of Soils Brothers cnormotiB on
torprise is not an empty name, nor u vain
f boast. Its claim is juHt as it is; truly, "Tho
of tho unparalollcd features presented, its
unequalled performance in its magnificent
triple circusses and elevated stages, its all
over-shadowing immonBity, its grand zool
ogical oxhibit including fifty monster cage
menagorio of wild animals. Its Royal
Regal Hippodrome and.GalaDay Sport. Its
Imperial Spectacular Triumph Pilgrimage
to Mecca. Its grand, gorgeous and bewildering stroot pageant; but
also on account of tho new departure it has originated and innugei
atcd all now features, improving and perfecting its performance,
equalizing low prices of everything by cutting its price of admission
from fifty to twenty-tivo conts for everybody, which is a fearleBS
Btroko of managerial policy, Bonding terror to weak-headed rivals
whoso pigmy brains havo been racked to meet exigencies of dull
times other shows havo cut down Sells Brothers havo onlarged.
Whilo other so-called big circuses hold fast to high priceB with ro
duced to attractions. Soils lirothors, tho millionaire magnates, havo
adopted the exart opposite. Thoy do not Btint thoir stupendous
performance in tho least, as thoy havo. successfully managed and
owned their EnormouB United Shows for tho past fwonty-throo
years, and havo maintained a pro-eminonco over all and is acknow
ledged to bo tho "only big show of tho world' Sinco adopting tho
low price of admission to tho mammoth aggregation thoy havo mot
tho approval of tho amuBoment loving public, as f ho prices havo been
placed in reach of all twenty-fivo conts and it is, without a doubt,
tho greatest cyclono that has over excited tho circus world. How
so much can bo oxhibiteh for tho Bmall price of admission is a con
undrum wo shall not attempt to answer. If Sells Brothers can
stand it tho public and ourselves will bo glad to do so, and wo'll all
bo there, too.

LIFE.
Lifo like a marblo block, is given to all,
A blank, inchoate mass of years and dajH,
Whence one with nrdent chisel swift essays
Some shape of strength or symmetry call
One shatters it in bits to mend a wall;
One in a craftier hund the chisel lays,
And ono to wako the mirth inLesbia'B gau
Carves it apace in toys fantastical.
But loast iB ho who, with enchanted oyes
Filled with high visions of fair shaics to Imj.
Muses which god ho shall mortalizo
In tho proud Parian'B perpetuity,
Till twilight warns him from tho punctual skies
That tho night comcth wherein none shall see.

Lincoln is not entirely dead.
