Indicting t(lO Clrcilf).
The Philadelphia Brand jury )ms de
dared te Clie court that it considers
Barnum's clrciiB a nuisance, because of
the disorder it causes in tlie streets
about the bIiew and Uie bad characters
who congregate about it. It wanted
te knew whether it could net indict
Varnum, as well as tlie unlicensed grog
sellers who lined the streets with their
booths and whom the police had pounced
upon. Thejury'snuestlen caused a smlle
In the court house. It seemed amusing
in that atmosphere that a Jury should
want te Ret down te the original cause
of crime.
rerhnps the nuJIence laughed because
It had bten intormed by the Philadelphia
newspapers what a beautiful and moral
show Barnum's was. There was the
Bacred white elephant en exhibition,
which had been brought from Its distant
home for the entertainment of the
Sunday school children and religious
persuasions te whom Mr. llarnum
caters. It did seem, no doubt, very
funny te the court heuse audience that
a show se Illicitly commended, lauded
and championed by the news
papere of their town, which never
say anything they de net believe,
and never believe what is net true, nor
are ever betrayed into shading the truth
by considerations of lucre, should lie
denounced as a nuisance by the grand
Jury. And yet the probability is that
the Jury was nearer right than the news
papers. We are much addicted te the
circus, but we charge the devotion te
a weakness of the flesh. We must ad
mit that it Is net an elevating Institu
tlen ; aud that it is capable or vast itn
prevetnent in its conduct. The truth is
net worshiped about, a circus, whose
proprietors and performers live te de
celve. Mr. Itanium lias attained his
reputation and high respectnblllty.as the
arch deceiver. Mr. Birnutn's career
teaches that it is very right te lie, and
Mr. Barnum has taught this lessen ther
eughly te the newspapers, which lie with
unanimity and unction whenever and
wherever he comes around. Mr. Bar
num rejoice in the title of the Prince of
Humbugs. It is his valuable stock
In trade. Ills name is about all that he
gives te his show. That sacred white
elephant is no moreef a curiosity than
aft old white cow ; but he vows that It is
a big thing at home, anil, liberally paying
people of easy virtue te join in his ac
claim, the people are freely drawn te
spend their money for their experience.
They take down slightly colored water as
lemonade and accept kernelless and an
dent shells, in email measures at high
price, as genuine peanuts. They are
hustled about unresistingly and seduced
with ease into all manner of delusive
side shows. There is certainly little
refinement about circus attendants aud
none tee much about circus perform
ances ; still the circus is. a seductive
thing, and we should boserroy te see
grand juries indict them as nuisances.
A little ciicus during the year is net
bad te take. The human constitution
could net stand the moral or physical
strain every day or every week ; but
as we get it only a few times
in the year in the country we can
escape without much Injury. In cities,
however, where the tent stands for weeks
the institution no doubt needs an ever
hauling. Kveu tlie presence of a sacred
white elephant withiu the tent will net
atene for the deviltry in the surround
ings.
.Mr. Jluliene.
General Mahene has caused his Vir
ginia party te be again rechristened and
styles it Republican. lie started It as
tbe Reudjuster party, with a solid filling
of negrees and a white contingent of
Democratic eilicers. After Hailing along
successfully for a whlle under this title
he came into troubled waters aixl
changed the uaine of his craft te Ceal
itlen ; after a brier aud disastrous ex
perience with which lie concluded that
the time had come te assume 'he Bepub
Hcau name. He explains te an inter
viewer that ' the very time te
make the change has anived ;"
nml gees en te declure that It
would have been death te Ins party
te liave called it Republican when he
started it : U-ciune " a Democrat would
have cut his hand off rather than vote
the Rep iblican ticket." Virginia white
tnen being then nearly all Democrats, it
was necessary te lead them by strategy
and degrees Inte tlie Republican camp.
The march was ruude possible andagrfe
able by the donation made te ttie party
or the Federal ellices. The Republican
administration found It expedient te en
courage Mahene's olTert te build up a
party, aud accorded him its support
notwithstanding ttiere was a Re
publican party in Virginia which
sailed under the true name ; its leaders
contending that te be the proper
way te build up their party in the state.
New there are two Republican organla erganla organla
tlens in name, as well as In fact, in
Virginia. The distinction between
them nppenrs te be that one Is for Arthur
and the ether for Blaine for the presi
dential nomination. Mahene takes a
Helld delegation with him te Chicago,
Instructed te vote as a unit, which he
will work for Arthur, and all the time
against Blaine. Anether delegation will
appear at, the convention doers, whose
hopes will all hang upon Arthur's de
feat. Their chances of admission depend
upon the strength et Blaine in the con
vention. The struggle in the first In In
Btauce Is clearly te be between Arthur
and Blaine, with the prospect that
neither will be nominated. The outlook
for the nomination of a candidate who
will receive the hearty support of all the
factions Is net very geed. The Hepubll.
can politicians being held together by
expectation of the spoils of elllce, these
who are benten in the convention will
sulk Jn their touts during the campaign,
preferring a Democratic president te ene
set up by another Republican faction.
It was se In the Just campaign until
Greut and Cenkllng were overcemo by
ueceitim premises. The lessen then
learned will net ba forgotten this time-.
Jaulzarle-j like Mahene will net rlde
under a banner that premises thorn
no booty. The Mahene party In Virginia
may have te change its name once mere.

Tlie Marietta Itcgistcr charges that the
high school of that borough was closed
this week " for the purpose of allowing
the principal a chance te electioneer for
a superlntendcncy." The same puper
nhe states that Mr. Syfert, of Carnar
von, who was a candidate for delegate
te the state convention, was premised a
geed vote in Marietta, if in leturn he
would vote for deist for the aupcrln
tendency. These are serious accusa
tions, ami require te be met by Prof,
deist in a different manner from that in
which they are treated by the Lancaster
Inquiitr in its Issue of this morning. It
does net deny that Prof. Ueist has ltft
his school te engage In electioneering,
nor that the Syfert preposition was
made. It contents Itself with alleging
that the latter charge is ene made
by the opponents of Prof. Geiat's
election te the superintendence- . and
as te his electioneering, It says that he
is doing no mere than Mr. Bret-' -s
doing. Of course, it is the opponents of
Prof, tieist's electleu, who urge against
him his preposition te trade delegates te
the Republican convention in return for
votes for the superintendence1 of the
public schools ; but it Is right te urge
this against him, because it is a very iin
proper way te secure support as a school
superintendent. Politics .should have
nothing te de with such an election ; aud
it must be apparent te even one that he
who would trade delegates te a political
convention for votes for himself as
school superintendent is unlit for that
placs ; and it is clear, tee, that a teacher
should net close a public school te elec
tioneer for liiuiself, hewever much he
may be at lilerty te se electioneer in his
spare hours.

Rev. Jehn A. Demeyor, el tlie Central
Pennsylvania M. K. oeufcrence, has just
addressed a letter te the tnutnbera of his
0' of i-vuce, pre'estiug ngulnst the tnautier
of his toRieval from Fifth street church.
H.intsbiirg. Bishop Harris, who presided
scut blw te Snydertown circuit. He
blames the ex-presldlng elder (Hev. Will
lam A. Hoties) for makiug tlie ohange,
aud says that if he had been suddenly
knocked dewu he would net have been
mero osteulshed than when told that his
rumeval had bwn asked for the following
reasons : First, unsociability , wound,
depreciating thoehuroh ; third, If returned
the ohureh would be broken up. Uemeyer
says that no such Intimation ever wan
given him by any member of his ohureh
nor by Presiding Elder Houek previous te
the oeufurruco session, and even then net
utitil next te the last day. A few months
before conference his wtfe, while out
visiting, sprained her ankle, which con
fined her te the house until forced te
vacate for the new minister's family.
After conference adjourned l)ome)Pr
removed her te a beardiug heuse in liar
risburg, wl.ere she still remain, unable
te travel. Demoyer claims that Presiding
Elder lleuck aud the bishop knew this, aud
that his removal was an outrage, aud says
that tuauy el the mftubers hare since
informed him that no one was authorized
te ask for n removal. Ir'uch an outrage
would net bj perpetrated in any ether
church without a serious ruptuie, he says,
and then he fellows with ten pretests, the
substance of which is that at his titue of
hfe it will be impossible te regain the
position hut. whether sueh eemplaiut be
well founded or uet. This fact may serve
as another indication that Methodist
ministers are n linger sattstbd te leave
their destiny in thu hands of bishops. The
coming gcucral conference may make
some prevision for such cases, thus pre
venting a removal at the close of the first
year without consultation.

told him he had no menay with him, but
that the firm would send It up. The gate

promptly appoared bofero the maglstrate
aud was told that he must pay $4 53 line
or be committed and remain in Jail until
it was paid. Rither thau have a faithful
empleye, who earns only enough te feed
his family, sutler be unjustly, Mr. Selium
paid the line himself.
But he is net tintWtled te let the matter
rest hore. The tell gate keeper knew the
firm was geed for the rnouey.aud he knew,
as he acknowledged that Miller had no
Idea of oheatlng the turuptke out of threo

for the maglstrate who realizes $2 S3 out

On Wednesday afternoon we visited the
almshouse, hospital and iosane asylum.
At the almshouse we ware met by Mr.
Jehu Breck, stewart. We wero glad te
repert that we found this institution iu the
best of condition, and all the inmates up
pear te be well cared for The almshouse
record shows that nt the present time there
are in the institution 101 male and CO fe-
Imale adults ; sevan male and teu fomale
children, ranging iu age from three
months te two years. The sleeping apart
ments, ns well as ethors, appear te be in a
clean condition. Mauy of the rooms have
0, 12, 1 1 aud 1G beds. Iu the contra! part
of tlie garret wa feuud as high as 33 cots.
A tailor aud a uhoemakor, both inmates,
are kept employed. We found the store
room stocked with clothing aud shoes of
the poorest quality. We would also call
the attontieu of the commissioners te the
kitohen fleer ; the cement oevarlng nnd
the bricks being very much worn. The
heating apparatus we found In geed con
dition. Te run this about 11 tens of oe.il
are oeusumod daily. At the barn we found
olevon head el fat steers, thirteen
cows, threo helfers, two calves.teur horses
four mules and elght hogs. The building
is well stocked with hay, straw, ete,
The uext places visited were the hes
pltal aud iusaue asylum. Thesa institu
tions we found iu charge of Dr. MoCreary,
who kindly escorted us through the build
lugs. All the inmates apnear te b well
eared for, and the building is kept in ex.
collent oendition. In the hospital thore
are new '17 male aud 1)1 fomales, and 8
children, making a total of 80. Iu the
asylum thoie are 00 males and 43 fomales,
making a total of 03. A classified roeord
of the inmates of these institutions is kept,
showing their nationality, habits, etc., as
was as a history of oaeh inmate. We tlud
that about fifty per cent, are nonresidents.
We find the reef of the hesnluil te be In
a leaky oendition, nnd would reoemmeud
that the same be repaired at once, and also
that shutters be plaoed ou the smallpox
hospital. On Friday, April 23, 1881, we
visited the children's home and prison.
At the home we wero shown though the
building by Mm. Hamaker, and we nre
pleasud te repert that we found it iu uu
oxcellout oendition. We found it neat and
clean, aud Iu geed order, and the children,
01 boys and 31 girls, 13 of which nre
colored, all soemlmily cheerful and
happy. There is ue niokuess in this Instl.
tutfen at present. We de think that the
8hoel room is entirely tee small for the
tiumber of ehildreu new in uttocdanae.
We next visited the county prison whero
we wero kindly rucolved by I). K. Burk Burk Burk
helder, who conducted us through the
buildings. Iu reply te the inquiry of the
honorable court, will say that we feuud
135 persens confined In that Institution ;
of these 09 are convicts and cost prisoners
nt labor,20 oeuvlcts and oest prlsoners Idle,
23 for trial and hearing, 10 for illegal ear
riding and 1)3 for druiiken nnd disorderly
oeuduot, Iu some of the cells we feuud
3, -1 aud 0 prisoners. In a cell in the north
ern portion of the prison was the body
of Henry Pryer, who had died en the
me iiingef llie'Jilth of Apul Iu Hummers' I
hall, and afterwards lcmoved te n
cell In the prison. There ure new con.
lined 33 persens in tlm building known
us Bummers' lull. 'These prisoner;! !
ate huddled together lu ene room,, having
nothing te sleep ou t xeepl the Heet. We
de net only think it uoeissary te inake

think that the buildings are in a veiy inso inse

be se divided Inte ipartuientss.) tli it thiee
or feili' peisiins could be kept m each, j
but deem It te be a wistoef money,
te make any additions te the preninit
building. We would also call the atten
tion of the e unity oetiimisxlouoni te thu
prepnely of removing the prison te he'iin
suitable place en llm gieuiul new owned by
the county. This may appjir like Incur
ring a very great expense, but In the
opinion of tins grand .uquest tlie p ism
could be removed ivul rebuilt with Ml
ueoei-sary additions ut uin ill out te tlie
county, after the vain ible eity property ou
which the pilseu new stands was dlt-pjnrd
of Anether reason we have for recommend,
lug this removal in en account of the oon eon oen
dition in which " Buiumeis' Hall " new
is.lt being a disgrace te eivlllz itlen. In
addition we would thou have di,uiu.e,
water xupply, ventilation aud lilit,
which we find l.uklug at the bresent Insti
tution, the light and vaiitila'leu ospeoUHv
being cry injurious t.i tin pi is npir. 'The

Iu the judgment of the grand icqucbt,
the present system of appointing the Mib

and the safe keeplug of iheprtsouers. We
Ilnd tliat while the keeper is held ri'iiHiu ri'iiHiu

Gilbert and sSulhvau'n bright, sparkliug
new opera " Princess Ida" was giveu for
the first time iu this city at the opera
heuse last ovenlng te a fair slzed audleuoe.
Like all of Gilbert'it literary work the
libretto abounds with telling hits at the
follies of the day aud Ids extraordinary
faellity for rhyming is upon te tulvanUge.
The musie is of a light, tripping oharaet r
with geed heavy choruses, bringing te
mind "lolauthe" aud the ' Pirates of
Penzance."
The company that produeed the opera
last ovenlng was exceptionally strong, the
male ohataetors lu particular coming iu
(or a large share el speaial commendation.
As Jlilarien, Mr. Phil Brauseu acted and
sang in capital style. He is the possessor
of a wonderfully streug tenor, that in its
higher tones Is semewhat motallie ; but lu
the lewer register is often invested with
singular swoetness. He was ably assisted
by Messrs. O, II. Clark and Goe. Paxteu
lu the roles of Cyril and Flerinn rcspeo rcspee rcspeo
tively. Miss Mary Boebo as I'nnceis Ida,
showed herself te be the possessor of n
ewoet soprano veice, but her acting lacked
spirit. The balance of the support was
very geed the choruses belng notably
strong.
It is semewhat surprising that this
bright bit of opera boulfe has net been
mero of n suiaess. It evcrlbws with
humor ; hai soveral pretty choruses aud
handsoine stage saltings. It plays sad
havoc with tlie conception in the miud of
the reader of Tennyson's famous pjein,
nnd it may be psrhaps that its iconoclastic
