BIG CIRCUS COMING.
-----
Mr. Walter
Taylor, of Atlanta, Ga., a famous southern writer, says: "The fact that
over 10,000 attended the great, Van Amburg shows proves that the ancient love
for the circus still exists. It is born in our very flesh and blood.
In youth it thrilled us, and in our middle age it is our comfort and solace.
The smell of the sawdust is as fragrant as it was in the early morn of our
lives, when the circus was heaven and the smiling, beskirted, bespangled,
adorable creature in blue tights was its particular angel which filled our
thoughts by day and our dream by night." At Marlin, April 12, Play benefit
Confederate widows at Austin.
