The GREATEST SNOWMAN IN THE
WoRLD.--The greatest Snowman in the
world, the celebrated Dan Rice, was at
the landing with his circus this morning
He would have pitched his tent on the
bluff, and given one of his grand per-
formances, were not the taxes imposed
by our City Fathers too high He had a
notion to spread his canvas in Hope
field, and charter dozen steamboats, to
bring the crowds who like to see him
across; but the high stage of the river,
which leaves scarcely a dry spot in the
Arkansan village, prevented him from
putting his idea into execution. He
leaves tonight on the steamer Will 5.
Hays. Wherever Dan goes he finds hosts
of friends; and he deserves them, for he
is not only the best Snowman, but the
most kind-hearted and charitable man
in the Union 1'1

HEprAsoPHIAEA.-- The bal masque Of
the Seven Wise Men, at the Peabody
Hotel last night, was a rich rare and
racy affair. Harlequin himself never
had so many eolors as were displayed in
the dresses Of some, while others were
almost as fantastic in their toggery as
Spanish wandering minstr,l. The
supper was superb, and the music mel
ody itself The Committee Of Arrange
ments were: A. j. Bigley, W, j Little
john, PaulT. Wright, F. G. Gutherz, A.
L. Duval; Managers-Mont Pepper, J..

Committee on Masks--Geo. Mellersh,

hath charms and we hope there may
soon be another masque.
