During the winter of 1860, I was employ
ed as Iiiirlit operator in the railroad alike at.

Coieaco and Omaha runs through I)-—-—‘-,
and the great irregular night trains, and the
constant dang-2r of collision resulting therev
from, rendered the position of night opera-
tor by lllllllt‘zllls an easy one. It may be
well to mention hermas necessary to the

curiosities was never gathered umlera single

little intrislic value, a very large proportion
would have been of meat worth I i any lllll‘

“woolly hone," the “What. is it i“ and the
“Mermaid ;“ for those who took delight in
natural history them was the sea-lion, the

'l‘hrsn reminiscences of the old American
Museum, which is still held in nti‘uctluualc
rcmcinln‘nuec, by a large portion of the com-

naunceincnt of Ml‘. Ilnrntini‘s latest. and
most gigantic enterprise. the "Great. Roman
Hippodrome," with which he proposes to
travel through the Bones during the coming
season. Ilia preparations are on a scale of
magnificence unrivaled in the history of
traveling exhibitions. All his shows have
been merged in n chartered corporation,
known as “The P. T. Barnum Universal
Exposition Company,” with a capital of a
million of dollars. Mr. Barnum, who is
president of the company, and his manager,
Mr. Coup, have spent months in Europe.
visiting every important exhibition, and
bringing nwuy many choice features and
valuable suggestions, and the result is a
combination of attractions such as has never
been seen in one exhibition since the world
began.

women and children in Mr. Barnum’s lor-
vlce, and the stock Includes 750 horses and
ponies, besides elephants, camels, English

lions, bears, tigers, and other animals. For
the exhibition of tho menagerle and the va-
l'lOllI shown, dilplays, and performance!
connected with the enterprise, two enormous
tents, each 500 feet in length and 300 in
width, have been provided. one of which
