TIIE ONE MAN CIRCUS.
MOST BEVARKABLE PERFORMANCE.
"When the hour for the performance arrived,
the audience fastened their eyes upon the
opening through, -which the Ring-master ac
companied by Mr. Merryman, ia wont to make
Lis entrance previous to the Grand Entree
with which all well regulated circuses com
mence. Imagine their surprise when, instead
of the Master and Clown, there appeared be
fore them a mid-lie aged gentleman, dressed
in a f nil suit of black broad-cloth, slightly
bald on the top of the head and wearing gold
, spectacles.
This preacher-like person advanced to the
centre of the circle, and exclaimed in a loud
tut respectful voice :
- "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm a man by the
name of Robert Ridgely, formerly of a place
called Richmond X Roads. JThia here circus
topped at Richmond X Roads, and the bad
whiskey there made the circus men, wcmcn,
and children sick excepting myself. They
held up pretty well until they got here, when
they all broke down, and I'm obliged to play
the whole circus myself, and I'm going to
do it."
: "Without another word, Mr. Ridgely made a
bow and disappeared. In less than two min
utes he returned leading the Grand Entree,
consisting of eight homes and one rider. So
admirably trained were the horses, and so ac
customed to the performance, that with the
assistance of a few oaths and gestures from
Mr. Ridgely they performed all the various
and difficult evolutions without a single blun
der, exciting great surprise and pleasure in
the audience.
Scarcely had the last horse disappeared be
hind the curtain ere Mr. Ridgely returned in
the costume of the clown, and cracked the reg
ular role of circus jokes with an imaginary
ringmaster. Retiring for a moment, he soon
came forth as a sailor, ana went through with
the whole performance admirably well, not for
getting to stop occasionally and jump down
from his horse and take np the clown and ring
master's parts where he had left off. Next he
played the Two II or so act, and played it well
Ktxtthe Indian admirablv done. When he
alighted from the horse, and pretending to re
ceive a severe cut on the b b breast from
the imaginary ring-master, clapped the palm
of his hand to the wounded part, the eflect
Was electrical the whole house roared.
So be went on with the four horse act, the
bare back act, the India-rubber man, the canon
ball man, the tight rope performance, the
ground and lofty tumbling, and indeed every
part belonging to the regular circus role ; all
the time keeping up a running fire of jokes
with the invisible ring master, and eliciting a
continuously increasing amount of applause
lie also sng two comic songs, both of which
were rapturously encored. lie also danced
the Highland fling and a Virginia break down.
It was taken for granted that the part of
M'lle. Engeine Duprez, the great Parisian E
questrienne, would not be attempted. Rut
the versatile and daring Ridgely, like the coun-
trvnmn with flin bill nf faro u-rio iIkIumth'ihiiI
to eat or rather to play through the entire bill.
When he c:me out in "low neck and short
sleeves," very brief petticoat, and flesh color
ed stockinet, and commenced smiling and kiss
ing his hand to the audience, as be rode round
the ring, the excitement was beyond anything
in the history of circuses. Four filths of the
audience went into such convulsions oi l.ingh
ter that many o( them rolled off the benches
to the ground and struggled there in uucon
trolable writhings of amusement. M'lle. Du
prez Ridgely's legs, we are bound to say, were
very creditable legs, and displayed themselves
xery freely. This was decidedly the great hit
of the evening.
Mr. Ridgely's performances concluded with
the exhibition of bis pet elephants, named res
pectively Gizzard and Charles Jeerus. Bring
ing these in under his arms he placed them
on the ground, and then made them stand on
their heads, tnrn summersaults, dancj jigs,
and pick his pocket.
At the end of the entertainment. Mr. Ridge
ly thanked the crowd for their patronage, and
invited them to come again to-uiorrow even
ing, and to come early, as be was in the habit
of doing when he was a voting man. He beg
ged them to make allowance for the fact that
it was a new business to him, but he declared
with emphasis that he meant to keep a pitchin'
in till he got the hang of the thing. He was
in the ring and meant to keep the ring.
Pirates still swarm in the waters of the Chi
na Seas. The schooner Heather Bell, on her
way from Macao to Hong Kong, was attacked
by three pirate joaks off Castlepeak, and the
master and crew murdered. One Chinese es
caped and brought the news to Hong Kong. A
British gunboat was sent in search, and suc
ceeded in capturing seven juaks. One hun
dred pirates made their escape, eighty were
drowned, and seventy captured.
"Childi en and fools," says an old adage
"always tell tho truth." "Mother sent me?"
said a little girl to a neighbor, "to come and
ask you to take tea with her this evening."
"Did she say at what time, my dear 1" "No,
ma'am ; she only said she would ask you, and
then the thing would be off her mind ; that's
all she said."
A. wag tells of a boarding bouse keeper
whose tea was so weak that it couldn't get up
the spout of the tea pot.
Many workmen ouTwest are in a starving
condition. They cannot get work at even the
lowest wages.
