Barnum the Great.
The Paris correspondent of L’ Inde-
pmce Belge, Jules Lacomte has a bit of
gossip which is. translated for the Trib-
une, as follws:
“Mr. Barnum, the very famous Bar-
num, and his American zmpressario who
made such a fuss through the Cities of
the Union with the Swedish nightingale
Jenny Lind, lately transformed into Mad-
ame Goldscmidt,—Barnum, in fine, and
to say Barnum is to say everything, at"
rivcd in Paris a few days since.
“He brings us, what’? Imagine! But
I will not impose on you an impossibility
for there is no ZEdipus for such a propo-
sition, Mr. Barnum left Southampton. at
the beginning of the month with the
Nurse of Washington, in order to take
her over the Continent. Here are the
facts, which will explain clearly enough
this American zig zaggery.
"General Lafayette, when dying, left
to this very old creature a little property’
situated in the environs of Meaux, to be
sold for her benefit. When she learned
of the liberality of the friend and pupil of
her illustrious nursling, Mary Brandy-
wine, that being her name, objected that
this legacy should be disposed of, and the
Lafayette family respected her wishes.
Mary lived there under the same roof
with her brother David Wilson, an old
trooper of the liberator. But David died
recently in the County of Doarborn, In‘
diana, [sic in the French] at the age of
107 years, 2 months. and 10 days, and
leaving, as the papers stated lately, forty-
seven children, the fruits of five marria-
ges, which cheered his protracted life.-
Mary Brandywine, collecting some of the
members of this considerable family, took
the resolution of turning her heritage at
Meaux into ready cash, when Mr. Bar-
num, being made acquainted with the.
facts, betook himself to Doarborn, Indi-
ana, and with the old nurse of Wash-
ington to profit by the facilities of a voy-
age to Europe tendered to her, and in or-
der to increase her money resources, to
make a Continental tour in his charge.—
“We learn, positively, that on heat-
ing old Molly Brandywine had given her
consent to be a partner to this Barnum
speculation, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe
then travelling in England, hurriedly em-
barked for the United States to prevent
such a silly project on the part of so il.
lustriousa woman, to whose milk the Uni-
ted States owe their independence,

There are also to be found those that
are too indolent to mind even their neigh-
bors business. I believe that almost ev-
ery one will agree with me, that such
a person must be a confounded lazy fel-
.ow.
I heard of one of this class, once, who
escaped almost all kinds of contagious
diseases being too lazy to catch them.
He did however, after repeated exertions
make out to get the itch, but he said
that no money would ever induce him
to try to catch it again, as it was notori-
ly very laborious to obtain it, but it was
such hard work to scratch. Having neg-
lected the exercise, for several days, the
disease left him in perfectdisgust at the
little notice he took of it.
It is also said that one day being out
gunning, he saw a teater, but being too
lazy to whistle for his dog, he tried to
hire a boy to whistle for him, but while
they were bargaining, the bird flew
away. I am also happy to state that
there are none of this class to be found
in this community (T) “fl-”

Pure Air.
The recent investigation of circum
stances affecting theliealth of the mea-
ses, has caused the importance of pure
air and light to be more generally under-
stood now than formerly.
The simple fact set forth by Dr. Ar-
nott long ago, that a canary bird suspen
ded near the top of a curtained bedstead
in which people are sleeping, will gener-
ally he found dead in the morning, should
have been sufficient to show the danger
of breathing a vitiated medium, and the
necessity of providing a constant and am-
ple supply of fresh airin dwellings. Im.
pure air, however, cannot be seen; its
effects are not immediate, and so it has
been allowed quietly to kill its thousand
annually, and lay the seeds of disease in
other thousands ready to be developed by
assisting circumstances, without an effort
to stay its ravages, and almost without
a knowledge of its agency.
A healthy man respires about 20 times
a minute, and inhales in that period
about 700 inches of cubic air. Fresh air
contains about 23 per cent. of oxygen and
one and a half per cent. of carbonic acid
by the process of respiration theoxygen is
reduced to eleven per cent. and the car’
bonic acid is increased to rather more
than 8 per cent. Three and a half per
cent. of this gas renders air unfit. to sup-
port life; so that a man in respiring 700
cubic inches in a minute, vitiates about
1,630 cubic inches (to say nothing of that
produced by the exhalation from the skin)

Gas Ea:plosz'on— Two Persons In-
ju7'e(l.—On Thursday evening, an ex-
plosion of gas occurred in the dwelling
of the Rev. Rufus W. Griswold, No
22 West 23d-street, in consequence of
which, himself and a child, twelve yrs.
of age, were much injured. It appears
that the Reverend gentleman, who has
been suffering several months past from
a pulmonary complaint, arrived in the
city a few days since, from his summer
residence, for the purpose of superinten-
ding the preparation of his house for the
reception of his family. Workmen had
been repairing the gas pipes in the ear-
ly part of the day, after which the gas
was turned on from the metre. Toward
night it was evident that gas was esca-
ping from some of the burners, when
Dr. Griswold, accompanied by a child ,
proceeded from one room to another to
ascertain where the gas was leaking,car-
rying in his hand alighted candle. The
moment he opened the door of" a small
room in the third story, a tremendous
explosion occurred, destroying the glass
in the windows, breaking a pnrtitiogi,
and setting fire to the curtains and furni-
ture in the apartment.
Dr. G., with the child was thrown up-
on the floor of the adjoining room, Sev-
eral of the mechanics who were still in
the house, hearing the explosion, quick-
ly shut off the gas at the metre,and with
a few buckets of water soon extinguish-
ed the fire.
The Dr. had his face and neck badly
burned, but his hands suffered most from
his efforts tosave the child,whose clothing
was for a moment in flames. He was renio

Bv the side of the J ridges Stand, in large
bell-was placed, and at 10 o'clock this bell
was struck. The Chief Marshal, as President
of the Board of Managers, then addressed
Marshall P. Wilder. President of the United
States Agricultural Society. who stood uncov-
ered upon the stand, and announced the open-
inng of the exhibition. He alluded to the cir-
cumstances—the toils and trials, and anxieties
-that had attended the inception and growth-
of the enterprise, and testified his pleasure and
gratification at the happy consummation. Mr.
Wilder replied with brief and appropriate re-
marks, coiigratuluting the Managers and Com-
mittee, on the auspicious opening of the exhi-
bition, and the admirable arrangements that
had been made for it. At the close of his
address, three cheers were called for.
The horses were then called up to take their
places upon the track, for the grand entree and
parade. embracing all the horses, nearly or
quite 500 in number. They were called off‘ by
9
10
the Marshal in the following order :
1. Stallions of 7 years old and under.
2. Stallions from 4 to 7 years old.
3. Thorough Bred Stallions.
4. All Stallions of 4 years old and under.
5. Matched Horses.
6. I-‘itncy Horses.
7. Geldings.
8. Breeding Mares.
9. Breeding mares with foal at side.
10. Ponies.
11. All horses entered for exhibition or sale.
12. Farm or team horses.
When all had taken their places upon the
track, and word was given to start, Mr. Wilder
called upon the assembly to give three cheers
for tlicfirst National Horse E.-rhibitian in the
World, and they were given with a will.—-
This was the most beautiful and animating
scene, we venture to so . ever witnessed in
this country. The horses stretched around the
entire half mile circuit, numbering two and
three abreast for the whole distance. Some of
the horses were attached to skeleton buggies ;
others to phantom gigs, others to pbxetons and
“ what riots,” of every variety of build and
color. The air was vocal with the neighing of
the splendid animals, who entered into the
spirit of the occasion with as hearty n zest. as
their owners.
In the grand collection there were upwards
of 100 stallions, principally representations of
the Morgan and Black Hawk breeds. Among
this large number of noble animals, it is al-
most impossible to individnalize. There was
the favorite horse Cassius M. Clay, and his
mother who had several other likely sons pres-
ent. “ Bob Logic,” an English thorough breed,
“ Oscar,” all the way from l\fichigan—-a Ken-.
tucky horse ; the American Eagle, from Flush-
ing, N. Y.,-a beautiful bay stallion, and
“Clyde Briton.” rt noble stallion from Canada,
weighing 1,600 pounds—these and 9. number of
others attracted their well deserved share of
attention.
The speed and exquisite beauty of many of
the horses entered, exceeded anything we ever
witnessed before. Probably so large a gather-
ing of such proud and elegant animals, was
never witnessed in the history of the world, and
no one present, with half an eye for the bean-
tiful, but felt doubly paid for his visit
After all had passed twice around the track,
more than half‘ the horses suddenly pulled off
upon the grounds, and ran races “across lots.”
This was the most beautiful scene of the day.-
Frunconi’s Hippodrome, says the facetious Re-
piiblican, is no more to be compared with it
than the Spunlrville Artillery with a rattling
rolling thunder storm. The dumb show of the
Crystal Palace, brilliant and valuable as it
may he, would stand no chance by the side of
such a show of high, active, and rejoicing life.
All ‘enjoyed it to the very quick of apprecia-
tion. Stitndlng upon the elevated seats, and
taking in the whole scene at one view—the
throng upon the grounds, the darting, whirl.
ing, rattling carriages, and the fast horses go-
ing around the track at their full gait-one
might well exclaim, as hundreds did enthusias-
tically exclaim. that it exceeded in life and
beauty all the lively and beautiful scenes with-
in tlieir memory. And when it was remem-
bered that on the grounds were the equine rep-
resentatives of twenty of’ the United States,
as well as the Canadas, the exhibition appealed
to the mind in its true beauty and magnitude.
We noticed among the many other noble
creautnrcs upon the ground, “ Charley May.”
the magnificent pied stallion belonging to Gid-
eon Thompson. Esq., of Bridgeport. There
were few horses wlitcli tittratcd more atten-
tion or better pleased the crowd by his _l:.i‘=lt=L‘-
f'iil antics. He was undoubtedly the best broke
stallion upon the ground, and his docility and
perfect obedience was the subject of general
remark. Of course the proud okl “ Barstow
Horse” was there, as no general muster could
be ppjnplete without him.
At 12 lo-‘cl,o,cl_r, the bell announced that the
hour for the examination §,l},(_1 trial of Draft
Horses had arrived. In this ,depl_i,i't,i_rie_i_i_l: we
noticed the following entry froin Connecticut,
No. 1, single tcauis.—Y,oung Quebec. 6 yrs.
old, weighing 1,500 lbs., and ow_ne.tl by E. if: E,
_.~,\. Rice of West .\Icritleu. '
The trial .of these Ii.orse.s .t.0.o.k place on the
Nortlicrii part of the grounds, upon .3 w,l_Ig.o,I_1,
weighing 1,700 lbs., and loaded with pig iron
to the amount of 9. little more than 5,l00 lbs.,
which each team succeeded in drawing oil‘ with
apparent ease. Young Quebec had no advan-
tages for giving a fair test of his strength.-
Tlie single wagon was too light for a. heavy
load, and the horse was in at light breast bar-
ness. However, nearly 3,000 pounds were put
upon the wagon, with wliicli the powerful fel-
low moved avith ease. and in our opinion with
anything like really. T-fav.o_:.'a.ble circumstances,
could have taken the whole piletplicpg.
At the Grand Banquet on Friday, under the.

judgement invoked by the poet, of “ a whip in
the hands of every honest man to lash the ras-
cal naked through this world.” He advoca-
ted Horscbtick riding, as at once the most grace-
ful and healthful accomplishment to be acquired.
He would vote a. hardtrotting horse to every
pale faced young man or woman throughout
the land. He believed too, the exercise was as
good for the heart as fcr digestion. He thought
horseback riding as certain a cure for meanness
as dyspepsia, and in conclusion remarked that
be deemed no young man or young tvotntui’s
education complete, who could not gracefully
sit a saddle. The Rev. gentleman was enthusi-
astically encored and in our opinion, he made
the speech cf‘ the day.-

The Exhibition closed on Saturday, by it pub-
lic Auction of the Horses which had been spec-
ially entered “ on sale.” The prices at which
they were held, were simply enormous, varying
from $2300, to $10,000! We heard S5000 odor-
cd and refused for “ Flying Cloud.” Al: the
prices readily commanded by any horse of sty-
lish action. and good condition, we think our
farmers can make vastly more money in raising
Colts than corn.

Mr. Clnapin’s Lecture.
The Lecture of’ Rev. E. H. Chapin at West-
port, last week, was one of those masterly ef-
forts of his most cxtraordinamy genius. Logi-
cal, Rhetorical, Poetical and Satirical through-
out, he kept his auditory enchained with al-
most mesmeric enchantinent. There is an elec-
trical thrill in every gesture and word he ut-
ters, and tvliatcver scctarianism may urge to
his prcjudicc—no man can listen to this gifted
orator. without being made better. as well as
wiser. That was a beautiful criticism uttered
by the forei;,rner,who list ~ned in raptures,while
he understood not a word pronounced, said he,
“ I non compreheiidz ze language, but ieelz
it all over me.” We rcgrett exceedingly,
that so many citizens of Westport, failed to
enjoy so rich a literary repast.
We understand that the Rev. gentleman has
determined to retire from this field of literature
we trust he will re.-consider this determination.
We have the assurance of his “twin Brother,”
however, that Xorwalk will not he denied the
pleasure of again listening to him, at an early
day. As soon as the place, and preliminary ar-
rangements can bc perfected, We shall forvvarcl

Bear in mind, dear sir, that the first Resolutic‘.
