Baniura himself, busy, smiling, pro nipt,never at a loss, sits there puling strings that move at once, hunters and seamen in Africa, the Asiatic Islands, the Arctic Seas, and at the same time the tiny dwarf that trots in for a joke with Mr. Barnum, the singers' aud per formers ill the crowded .lecture room close by, and the millions of patrons who for thirty cents apiece receive the 6 pen Sesame to uncounted sights of enter tainnlent and instruction.
