St. The great event of the season takes place at English's Opera House this month – the Maennerchor Masquerade. The mere announcement of this fact will throw society in a fever of excitement, for it is generally recognised that the Maennerchor Masquerade is the great fashionable event of the gay season in Indianapolis; but the coming ball will, by far, throw all previous efforts of this famed society in the shade. The Theatre will be closed two days previous to the Masquerade, in order to prepare it for this occasion – English's entire Opera House and Hotel Block will be called into use. There will be four check, rooms, two for gentlemen and two, separate and distinct, for ladies only. Twenty dressing rooms will be used, with polite attendants. The supper will be served in the magnificent new dining room of English's New Hotel, and the entire assemblage will be seated at supper at one time, notwithstanding the great crowd expected. The grand floor will be laid to cover the entire parquetted and stage, and the scenic artist of this theatre, and Mr. Bartlow, the stage carpenter, are now engaged in preparing especially for the great opening scene on this occasion the most magnificent and novel stage stetting that has ever been placed upon a stage in this city. Manager English alone has contracted to expend over $2,000 in preparation for this greatest of social events, and the Maennerchor Society have ordered over $2,000 worth of costumes from New York.

A lion got loose in a Chicago menagerie, and while eating a pony the keeper saturated a sponge with cloroform and held it to the nose of the lion, on a long pole, and in a minute the monarch of the jungle was so helpless a boy could handle him and kick him around. It is said to have been interesting to witness the lion when the cloroform began to effect him. He looked at the carcass of the pony, and the expression on his face was as though he thought that pony must have been loaded with something that disagreed with him. The lion acted much as a man who should strike a piece of brass [?] in a sausage. – Peck's Sun. Sung by the inmates of a deaf and dumb asylum :We never speak as we pass by."

H. English. There promises to be lots of white elephants with the circuses this year, put most of them won't be as white as they are painted. No violet blooms in the wintry vale. No blossoms are on the lea; no cresses bunch in the meadow rill, no robin sings in the tree; no wind flower wakes in the woodlind glade, the arbutus sleeps in the earth; no tender breeze has awakened yet the world to its springtime birth; but the base-ball player is rousing up from ‘Frisco unto the Hub, and shinning around for a higher "Sal" – and he signs with another club. "Give us, oh give us but yesterday!" is a very pretty saying, no doubt; but it never becomes rooted very firmly in a school boy's soul while he is skating on Saturday, and thinking of the awful whaling he got the day before for putting a bull-frog in the teacher's desk. Henry Irving is, beyond question, one of the foremost actors of the age.
