who love the woods and the streams will
spend their " Fourth angling. 1t will
be jolly to obtain even partial relief

city, and to.imbibe claret punches and
sherry cobblers, ornamented and favored
with raspberries and slices of orange and
pineapple. 0 it will be jolly indeed to
get current of fresh air, to be away
from the vendors of soda-water and lager
beer and to be free from the din of bust
ness and the hot air arising from curb
stones and sidewalks. And jollier than
all will it be to have concert in the
woods, not of birds, but the far more
charming voices of lovely maidens, with
more hair on their heads than the bot
toms of all the chairs in Christendom

TIE GREAT SENSATION
Of the day is the race between the steam
ers Natchez and Lee. All around the
corners (not the circle), and at the Office
Of every steamboat and telegraph agent,
are congregated crowds of men blow
ing" about the merits Of the two boats
now blowing up the waters Of the Missis-
sippi at a speed unequaled since Fulton
used steam as propelling power. Large
bets have been made by the friends OF
either boat, and every word received by
telegraph as TO their whereabouts and
time and distance from each other is
looked after with an earnestness as in
tense as if the motion of the earth on
its axis depended upon the result. One
party cries :" the Natchez has met foe
man worthy of her steel, while another
retorts the Lee has met champion
worthy of her steam" The whole history
of all the races that ever took place be-
tween steamers on the Fathers of
Waters" is recounted with slight vari-
atoms as to time and incidents; and it
is as amusing as "a comedy of errors
to see the excited crowd at the corner
of Main and Court streets and hear the
dialogues between the advocates of the
respective boats. The full particulars of
this exciting race will be found in our
river reports.
THE ORPHANS PICNIC
in James Park on the Fourth of July is
the next sensation in order. Hundreds
are talking of attending it, and many are
the preparations in progress to make it
the fete of the season One gentleman,
a friend of the orphans, has presented to
the committee a bull terrier and tan
terrier said to be the finest in the State,
and for which the owner has refused 500
each, to be shot for at twenty-five cents
a shot; and we understand several other
presents will be made this afternoon. As
this picnic is for the benefit of the little
ones at st. Peters Asylum, and as it is
likely to wind up the .tete season, we
hope the proceeds will be such
as to reflect exceedingly great credit on
the generous feeling and liberal benevo-
lence of our people. The noble ladies
who are to have charge of the tables.
Mrs. Babb, Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Lawless
and Mrs. Powers-will be assisted by a
bevy of beautiful young ladies, whose
presence will in no small degree add to
the pleasure of the occasion. 1t would
be strange indeed if all nationalities did
not unite ON this anniversary of the
glorious Fourth of July and give the or
phans bumper.

of the race. This, we are informed by good
authority, is incorrect, and both the Lee and
hatcher will continue the trip to st. Louis.
There is something of an abatement in the
betting to-day. in consequence of which the
hackers of the Lee are growing more bold. and
are offering odds. We would suggest to them
to go slow, however, as the river from Vicks-
burg to this port is in excellent condition, and
is the favorite track-if we may call it such

out it will be between the points named.
Their arrival at Helena is anxiously looked
for by all, and will be given in the LEpGER
should they reach there before We go to press.
Their reception here will, from present APP
pearanees, be an occasion long to be remem-
bered. Bonfres are to be built on the bluff
and on the levee. We hear also Of several in.
terested parties negotiating for powder with
which they will greet the arrival of the victor
by salutes from brass six-pounder. Many
citizens will also go down on the Commercial
to meet the racers, and, taken altogether. II
