The Heir Apparent Snowman

The Cincinnati Enquirer mentions the
arrival in that city of John Robinson Jr.
manager of Old John Robinson's combina-
ton, who is bUSily engaged preparing for
the arrival of his Great Worlds Exposition,
which has been making its usual Southern
tour during the past winter, exhibiting to
an average of ten thousand persons daily.
The same paper says that Mr.. Robinson is
purchasing and arranging feet ofsuitable
steamers for the purpose Of visiting all the
large cities and towns on the Ohio River,
which would, for SO large an establishment
as bis, be inaccessible by any other mode
of conveyance in that section of country.
We anticipate shortly a solid line of highly
colored posters from Pittsburg to Cairo, and
the river tourists viii in a great degree
imagine themselves gazing on the pictured
rocks of Lake Superior. This intelligence
will please all residents along the river, as
grand carnival day is promised wherever
RObinson's Great Worlds Exposition halts.

MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW
JANUARY, 1873.

STORMS.
During The past mouth, the progress Of
| twelve storm-centres have been traced on
the weather maps of the Signal Service.
| OF these, three have crossed the country in
| a northeastward direction from Texas to
New England and the British Provinces;
| five have moved from the extreme North
west eastward over the lakes into Canada
or New England; one from Manitabo over
Lake Superior into Canada; two north
eastward up the Atlantic coast to the East
ern States and Novia Scotia or Canada, and
one has progressed eastward through the
| Gulf States, and thence northeastward up
the coast. Of these storms, the most Sc
we're have been that of the It'll and 9Th, in
| the Northwest, and that which from the
21st to Path crossed the country from Tex
as to Nova Scotia. The westerly winds
closely following the centre of the former,
| increased to strong gales which, with heavy
| snow and temperatures FAR below zero,
served to render it one of the most terrific
which has visited that section for many
years. The latter Chat of the 2lst) was
| very extensive in its effects, as during its
course nearly the whole country east of the
| Rocky Mountains was reached by its rain
or snow belts. Its northerly gales were felt
with most severity from Lake Michigan to
Lake Erie, and heavy SHOWS fell from Mis-
souri, northeastward to Canada. Twenty
four cautionzry signals were displayed dur
ing the month at points on the middle and
east Atlantic coasts and two on the Gulf
coast.
RAINFALL.
The monthly rainfall returns for Janu--
airy from the Signal Service stations show
that there has been in general deficiency
on the Pacific coast, but east Of the Rocky
Mountains, an excess Of rain and snow.
This latter excess is most decided in Mis-
souri,, New Jersey and Connecticut. A
small region Of deficiency also appears TO
extend over Kentucky, Tennessee, Missis
sipi aud Alabama.
TEMPERATURES.
The mean temperatures for January, as
given by the Signal Service reports, show
that over the country east of the Rocky
Mountains the weather has been generally
colder than usual. This difference is great
est in the northwestern sections, being in
Michigan and northern Ohio about deg.
below the mean temperature for the month,
and from Wisconsin and Minnesota to Kan
sas ranging from Z to II deg. lower than
usual. In the lower Mississippi Valley, and
also northwestern New York, the average
temperatures have been from to 6 deg.
lower than might have been antlcipat d,
while this difference in New England and
throughout the Middle States generally has
been from TO deg. In the South At
lantic States about the mean temperatures
have prevailed, except in northern Florida,
where they are shown to be somewhat

done that aBcient and honored kInship by

SHR0VE TUESDAY OR MARDI

Something About This Day Of Fes.
tivity.
This is Shrove Tuesday, or vulgarly
known as Pancake Day, from the common
practice Of eating pancakes on that day.
which custom is to SOME extent preserved.
By the Germans il is called Fast Ndcht
Cast eve) and By the French Mdrds GrGs
(at Tuesday,
Shriye is an old Saxon word, of which
SltroUe is a corruption, and signifies coDfes-
sion. Hence Shrove Tuesday means Con-
fession Tuesday, on which day all the peo-
pie in every parish throughout the king
dom, during the Romish times, were
obliged to confess their sins, one By one, to
their own parish priests in their own parish
churches.
Mardi Gras is Shrove Tuesday, the day
preceding the commencement OF Lent. 1t
is the last emeat day" permitted by the
Catholics before Lent, and in former times
full advantage was taken ofthe expiring OPP
portunity to feast and make merry. Men
ate and drank, and abandoned themselves
to every kind of sportiye foOlery. In their
public parades one Of their number was
crowned as King, having his horse covered
over with tinsel and gorgeous trappings,
and preceded by the twelve months OF the
year, each month habited as the season re-
quired. After him came Lent clothed IN
white ard herring skins, on horse, with
trappines of oyster shells, in token that
'sadnesse shulde folowe, and an holy TYNE"
and in this sort they rode through the city
accompanied by others in whimsical dress
es. Some fought in armor, some disguised
as devils, chased all the people they came
up with and frightened the boys; men wore
dressed as men. Some were ap-
pareled as monks; others arrayed them
selves as kings, attended by their guards
and royal accomplishments; some disguised
as old fools, pretended to sit on nests and
hatch young fools; others wearing skins as
dresses became counterfeit bears and
wolves, roaring lisps and raging bulls, or
walked on high stills, with wings at their
back, as cranes.
''The noble men, the rich
And men Of HE degree"
came abroad in "wagons finely framed be-
fore" drawn by "lustre horse and swift OF
pace" having trappings on him from head
to feet, about whose deck
Sand every place before,
A hundred gingling bells do hang
To make his courage more"
These revels were generally kept up until
midnight, and were interspersed during the
day with various kinds of games, such as
football, shying at leaden cocks, cock fight
ing and other kindred games, and it is con-
sidered by the participants in these shrove
tide mmmurings that Of all merry makers,
Gas an old song ssys):
ssThe chiefest man is he, and one
That most deservest prayse
Among the rest, that csn find out
The fondest kind of players:
On him they look, and gaze upon,
And laugh with lustie cheere,
Whom boys do follow, cryiRg foole,
And such like other geare."

Ssrious stabbing Anray.

While the hands were being paid off,
about s o'clock last evening" at Wright's
stable, a serious, and perhaps fatal
fracas occurred between two darkies named
Buck Davis and Andrew Martin. 1t seems
Martin claimed That Davis owed him
some small amount, and demanded its
payment then and there. Davis was not
inclined to pay, ard an alteration ensued,
soon eliminating in struggle, during
which Davis was stabbed between the
ninth and tenth ribs, penetrating the left
lung. The wound is supposed to be fatal.
Watchman Walker at length succeeded in
separating the cOmbatants. Martin was
placed under arrest and the wounded man
cared for.
