A Jlottoer WlieeliuBT He Over a Slender Wire GO feet ia Id-air. The Chattanooga Times thus describes the performance of the wonderful French lady gymnast, Mad ame in ner oioou-cnnuug of trundling a wheelbarrow, containing her infant daughter, across the high wire.

MADAME AND LITTLE LULA. There was a very large attendance at the circus last night, and the startling attractions presented there, cannot fail to fill the tent. Last night Mine. Zuila. proudly bearing medals presented by crowned heads in all portions of the habitable globe, mounted the high wire, and successfully performed many of her most daring feats.

The wire was in bad condition, on account of the short time allotted for its arrangement, but when ticked if she would perform the wheelbarrow act, her only reply was: "Yes I will risk it. It has been advertised, and I will do it at all hazards." This is one of her most difficult acts. The wire is stretched about feet above the ground. Last night, the attention of every person in the circus was tirst directed to the wheelbarrow, and then to little Lula, a sweet-faced, intelligent little girl, who first looked at the burrow, and then, as she smiled sweetly at her mother, there was a world of wondrous beadty beaming from her large blue eyes, and as they exchanged looks, there could be discovered the most perfect feeling of confidence between the mother and her child. Little Lula picked up from the stiTnd, near the starting-point, little basket of 'flowers, and hastily nestled herself In the wheelbarrow.

There was a breathless stillness throughout the entire audience, as the mother started out on her perilous journey through space, carefully, but with the utmost conndencey wheeling her precious burden over the wire. When near the center, she stopped, and, kneeling on the wire, her child picked each beautful bouquet from the basket and scattered the flowers on the breathless audience leIow. After this was done, she then arose carefully, and competed her journey, landing safely on the other side. In this act, Mine. Zuila displays a wonderful combination of nerve, strength aid dexterity, so startling in all its details, that no other woman in the world has ever attempted it.

Her velocipede act, the blindfold act, walking the wire with her feet encased in baskets, ami the chair act, are all alike wonderful. This intrepid gymnast, will aj-poar In Adam Forepaugh's greut circus, which is to exhibit here Saturday Sept. 21, and she will jer-form the above described feat at each exhibition, and also walk the wire blindfolded cross over it riding a velocipede, and with her feet encased in sacks. She receives a salary of per week from Mr. orepaugh, which is said to be the largest salary ever paid by any circus manager for a stellar attrac tion.

The European prjS pronounce her performance superior to anything ever offered by the world-famed Blondin.

'A word fitly spoken, how good it is The Pearl Craze. A short time since a man in Mur- freesboro found a pearl in a mussle shell and sent it to Tiffany Co of New York, and a handsome little sum was forwarded him for it.

A many people of Rutherford county immediately became mono maniacs in regard to pearls. Flows were stopped in the fields, pigs left squealing in the pens and babies squalling in the cradles that the uu- paralled thirst Tor pearls might be satiated.

Summer fallowing usually gives the best re- suitst out it is not always practica ble, in which case the nearest ap proach to it should be made that is possible.
