the words of triumphant warrior, when success
and victory had lighted upon his banner but they
are sometimes applicable to others and to other

living orator eonquers his hearers and rules them
at will; the fair indmorata conquers her lover and
holds him firm though sweet captivity; and the
musician who can strike such notes as find a
responsive echo in the souls of his audience con-
quers them into an enraptured subiugation.-

BAaxor, now iIhas lis las. excitement has

BARxUn. now thas his last excitement has
died away. y engaged In an enterprise NOT
less novel than The baby show. He pro-
poses two hundred premiums, amounting to
Eve Thousand dollars, to be presented to the
hsndsomest women in America--or rather
10 the handsomest who may be willing to
enter into this competition. II appears that
an eminent publishing house in Paris is
engaged in issuing series Of the most
distinguished female beauties in the world,
which, when completed, is to include ten of
the most beautiful ladies in the United States
and the Canadas. In order to obtain fair
supply of material, Barnum proposes to give
one premium of thousand dollars, one of
three hundred, one Of two hundred, one Of
hundred and fifty, six of one hundred,
ninety Of twenty dollars each, and one
hundred Of ten each, for likenesses of two
hundred best-looking faces, as decided by
the popular vote of persons examining the
pictures. He invites every man who has
fair friend Of sixteen or upward, married
or single, to send her daguerreotype or pho
tcgraph on halfplate, with the name or
address in a separate sealed envelope. The
likenesses will be numbered and hung in
the N. Y. Museum for public scrutiny
Each visitor is requested to check, on slip
20 he furnished, such numbers as he or she
thinks best-looking up to the limit of one
hundred. This checked list will be deposited
In a sort Of ballot-box, and on the 18th of
January next this box will be opened and
the lists examined. The portrait having the
greatest number of checks or votes will take
the first premium, and SO downward. The
likenesses of those who receive the ten
highest prizes, are to be engraved and pub
lished in the French " Worlds Book of
Beauiy;" the successful competitors being
first invited to sit at Barnum's expense, 10
the best artist in their neighborhood for their
portraits.
This time the Snowman makes an appeal
TO feeling stronger perhaps than even ma
ternai vanity. Silly women will send their
likenesses; the sillier they are the more
certain they will be to engage in the COM
petition. After all, however, the handsomest
faces in reality do not always appear best in
the daguereotype or photograph, and this
will be the consolation of those who fail to
secure premium.
