Li Hung Chang, the "Great Man of China," died at Pekin last Thursday. lie was the best known Chioantau of the century and as a scholar and diplomat he ranked with the greatest statesmen of the world. The statuary ornaments for the negro building of the Exposition are displeasing to thosa in charge . of the exhibit. A scene representing a negro boy picking a banjo.and a man following the plow they think conveys a false impression as to the progress the negro race has made. The objectionable statuary will be replaced by something more in keeping with their ideas of progress, which moves tiie Macon Telegraph to suggest that the next group represent the negroes in swallow-tail coats dining: with l&osev.el b. The announcement that President Roosevelt would visit the Charleston Exposition on. Jkbraham Lincoln's birthday has given rise to, considerable comment s-wsaongSoethern, newspapers. Why this day was. chosen,, or who, is responsible- for the-coincidence? if it be a ceiticisdence?is. not entirely clear,. For, many reasons it it unfortunate that this, particular day shoafd have been, choseu, NeitherCbwleetoo nor Sotvtb Carolina has any season, to. honor Lincoln, and if Roosevelt could not have been induced! to visit the Exposition ob any other occasion the big show might hare been able to "worryalong?' withont him. altogether. THE CIRCUS. Flaming bill posters,, bombastic verbiage, a street parade, a, me-v nagerie,.a throng of spectators, trained animals,, bare-back riders,, trapeze peatormers, funny clowns -rUbe circus. It has come and gone and',, though, unchanged, has lost none of its attractiveness. Traly this is an. institution that wilh last fot all. the time,, for equality and democracy, are found beneath.the wide stretch of canvas fchatcoversthe wildanimalsand the sawdust ring as they are found iu i wo other place* There can be nothing exclusive about a circus, i A ^ I \ W ? ?>3?WMW?W a.,u it La* cyme -lown free: the' a?fc-s ani mnst !ive on :tnd or '.iT 'here <re c:-"'ren to be caught oy the glare and tinsel ^ ami indulgent parents to humor their children's fancy. No other class of attraction appeals so strongly to all ages and conditions of humanity or holds their attention so closely for the same length of time. Old age, middle age, youth and childhood all mingie together on a common plane and for the time being their laughter, unrestrained and hearty, rings out in defiance of conventionality and bids dull care begone. Everything goes at the circus and the red lemonade and stale peanuis are; enjoyed with the same keen relish j as the musty chestuats of the ca-. perin?: clowns. Probably nine-tenths of the circus-goers have seen and heard the same old things time and time! again; but, after ail, there is noth-j ing new under the sun, and the < very antiquity of some institutions ensures them, a certain amount ol respectability. It would require a close analysis todeterminejust what elements are combined in a circus to attract so many people of different tastes and dissimilar fancy, even for a few hours. "A touch of nature that makes the whole world kin'' is an unconscious admiration for extraordinary ability, however | it may be directed, and any-' ihing well done, denoting skill or, dexterity, receives a certain: amount of attention. If anything j Hi ine way 01 a moral is io ne | drawn from the circu?, this is it: Any kind of work well done may be turned to profitable account.
