THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG. PA.' 7 THE SAME OLD CIRCUS. Xf, p. HowrlU Tcllii of Ills Jnynn Vlsin to tllO Willi nrnilirvR m in iri:iiH. Tim circus announced Itself In tho cooil old way weeks beforehand by the vast posters of former rtiijm and by a profusion of small bllla which foil tip on the vIlliiRO as from the clouds, and left It littered everywhere with their festive pink. They prophesied It by n name borne by the first cirrus I ever (8w, which wan also nn animal show, but the animals must nil have died during the fifty years pant, for there Is now no menageilo at.tnrhed to It. I did not know this when I heard the fcnnrt playlns through tho streets of the villa0 on the morning of tho perform ance, and for mo tho mangy old camels and ho pimpled elephants of yore led the procession through accompanying ranks of boys who hnve mostly been in their graves for half a lifetime, the distracted ostrich thrust an advertis ing neck through the top of the cage, and the lion roared to himself In the darkness of his moving prison. I felt the old thrill of excitement, the vain hope of something preternatural and Impossible, and I do not know what could have kept me from that circus, as soon as I had done lunch. My heart rose at sight of tho large tent (which was yet no very little In comparison pith the tents of the three-ring and two-platform circuses); tho alluring and illusory side shows of fat women and lean men; the horses tolbcred in the background and stamping under the fly-bltea; the old, weathcr-beaton grand chariot -which looked like the ghost of the grand chariot which used to drag me captive In its triumph; and tho canvas shelters where the cooks were already at work over their ket tles on the evening meal of the circus folk. Throughout th"e performance at this circus I was troubled by a curious question, whether It were really of the same, moral and material grandeur as the circuses It brought to memory, or whether theso were thin and slight too. We all know how the places of our childhood, tho heights, tho dis tances, shrink and dwindle, when we go back to them, and was It possible that I had been deceived in the splen dor of my early circuses? Tho doubt was painful, but I was forced to own that there might be more truth In it than In a blind Tealty to their remem bered magnificence. Very likely elf ruses have grown not only in size but In the richness and variety of their entertainments, and I was spoiled for the simplo Joys of this. But I could see no reflection of my dissatisfaction on the young face's arouud me, and I must confess that there was at least so much of tho circus that I left when It was half over. I meant to go into the side shows and Bee the fat woman and the living skeleton, and take the giant by the hand and tho armless man by his friendly foot, If I might be so honored. But I did none of these things, and I am willing to believe the fault was in me, if I was disappointed In the circus. It was I who had shrunk and dwindled nnd not It. To real boys It was still the size of the firmament, and waa a world of wonders and do- lights. At least I can recognize this fact now, and can rejoice In tho peace ful progress nil over the country of the simple circuses which tho towns never tee, but which help to render tho summer fairer and brighter to the unspoiled eyes and hearts they nppeal to. I hope it will be long before they pease to tind profit In the pleasure they give. Harper's Weekly. Wliyn of llio Wnmleot-k. These long-beaked, migratory birds', Much are as Interesting to the gour mand as to the hunter, remain conceal ed In tha darkness of the woods all day, and do not leave their hiding piace vintil It begins to grow dark than, In the spring, they llrst fly In iie-zags around the edges of the woods often In twos or threes, finally coining to the open, damp places of tho woods, to the pastures, or to the edges of wat- tr lyln near tha woods, In search of food, which preferably consists of dif ferent kinds of worms nnd insect larvae. In the morning twilight the woodcock repeats this zig-zag flight and searching for worms. At their breeding-places they fiy in the same way again as soon" as the young brood is able to take care of Itself, but in the late fall tho birds seldom move in this way. They then generally hurry to tho feeding-places. The woodcock does not live long In captivity. Ills Inclination to migrate shows Itself continually; but ho Is not afraid of men, and never fails to eat the worm which is thrown to him. In spite of bis voracity, however, tho woodcock generally grows thin when lu capliv Ity and finally dies. The r.lrft.-ttnir of Ifrnerance. Few persons will bo disposed to deny that when the noble chairman of a congress of teachers selects the praise of Ignorance a:i his theme he desorves Public thanks for a contribution to the Kayety of nations. This is what Prince Czartoryskl, a member of tht Austrian Chamber or l'eers, has just done ftt the PadarcoKoutng at Siryl, in Uallela, where he credited illiteracy, In which Austrian l'oland takes high fink,' with having n favorable Influ ence upon the character and under standing. According to tho Trineo, the Illiterate are, for the nioet part, well behaved and sensible. Education and nlightenment in tho hands of common People are like an axo which may be useful hut may also be an Instrument of mischief. History shows that en lightenment Is not essential to happt a&ss and prosperity. Political consid erations may, perhaps, account for this xtraordinary dosire for greater ignor ane in tialicla, but it would be inter Ung to know what Induced Prince Ifcartoryskl to select an educational congress as the place for giving ex pression to it.

Terrible Deeds ol Spanish Soldiery in Santa Clara Province Maddened by his inability to crush the insurgent armies, Captain Gen eral Weylcr continues to wage war on innocent women and children and helpless old men in Cuba. The latest story in regard to Spanish atrocities conies from Villa Clara, the capital of the Province of Santa Clara. Colonel Rodriguez com mands the Spanish troops in that province, and he is slaughtering the innocents in a way to delight Weyler. A letter from Villa Clara gives an account of the terrible deeds. Ac cording to the letter, Colonel Rodriguez, at the head ol iooo Spaniards, left Cruccs recently on a scouting expedition. He took a route through the rural districts, and made stops at different towns and villages, which were looted and burn ed. He devastated farms, killed horses and cattle, and, in fact, des troyed everything that would sustain life. In the towns of 1'otrcvillo, Majagua and Megas Neuvas the ferocious in stincts of the Spanish soldiery ran riot, and deeds were committed as horrible as those credited to the Turks. Old men were shot down as they rati from their blazing homes, and women and young girls were as saulted, the Spanish soldiers even be ing so fiendish as to satiate their in fernal lust on daughters in the presence of the mothers of the victims. In the three towns named thirty seven old men, six women and eight children were killed. Each of the women was slain in defense of her own house or in fighting to save her daughter from outrage. The murder of Scnora V aides and daughter was peculiarly atrocious. After the women had lied from their burning home they were seized by the soldiers, who made insulting proposals to them. The mother and daughter fought for their honor, but were overpowered. After the women were assaulted they were shot dead. The wife of Antonio Fabian was shot through the heart, because she struck a soldier, who was trying to assault her 12-year-old daughter. The aged mother of Senora Fabian was bayonetted because she denounced the murder of her daughter. Many of the most comely women from the towns named were forced to accompany the troops, and when Colonel Rodriguez returned to Villa Clara there were nearly a hundred miserable creatures in his train, who had seen their homes burned, relatives murdered and been forced themselves to become the victims of the soldiers. Colonel Rodriguez, in reporting the result of the expedition, stated he had dispersed numerous bands of insurgents. As a matter of fact, he did not tfo near an insurgent camp, and he triumphed over helpless old men and innocent women and children. Editor J. I,. Montgomery, of J far shall, (111.)
