A Kansas’ Episode.
Mr. Thomas Hancock coming back from
his Eastern tour to his Kansas home, at
Grape Creek, was pleased to find a large
crowd of his old friends and neighbors
awaiting him at the station. As the train
pulled np, the village band burst into
“the wedding march” and did it serieus
damage. The bass drummer thumped it
badly for a half minute and tossed it to
the sax-horn, who blew it perpendicularly
into the air, whence, on its return, it was
caught by the trombone, which, after roll
ing it over and over in a rough and tum
ble fight, threw it straight at the head of
tho man with the French horn, who twist
ed its wretched neck and sent it “bum”
against the hide-beater, who originally
started it. This was a solace and a delight
to tho soul of Mr. Hancock and his face
beamed with a smile are warm and genial
as the October sun. As he reached the
platform of the car, three cheers were giv
en for “Hancock and lady,” whereat Han
cock looked queer, especially when they
crowded on him, shaking hands and ask
ing “where is she?” “Why don’t you
bring her out?” “Ain’t ashamed of her,
aro you?” He blushed and begun protest
ing when suddenly a beautiful woman
seized his arm, and clung with her pretty
gloved hand so sweetly to him that he
would have been in Paradise if ther hadn’t
been so many looking on. “Darling,” she
whispered, “I thought I had lost you,” and
Hancock, utterly nonplused, almost wish
ed she had. In the meantime, the crowd
began looking queer, and stopped cheer
ing and guffawed a little, all of which made
it very embarrassing for Mr. Thomas Han
cock. He was too gallant a man to express
his growing dislike of the situation. In
fact it is hardly truthful to say he did dis
like it. At the same time ho confessed to
himself that he always had a prejudioe in
case he ever should be married, in favor of
being at least a party to it, and of being
invited to tho wedding. Both of these
preliminaries being wanting, Mr. Hancock
not unreasonably doubted the right of the
pretty woman to cling his nrin as she was
doing. The situation was greatly compli
cated at this moment by another gentle
man who rushed excitedly up, tore away
the la : y,and asked what she meant by such
conduct—only fifteen minutes after she
was married, too. She looked, gave a lit
tle scream, and clung to Mr. Hancock.
The latter smiled, the crowd roared and
cheered, the two gentlemen shook hands,
and the train went on with Mr. Richard
Hardin and his wife. And then Mr. Han
cock, after duly testifying at the nearest
beer hall to the gratitude he felt for the es
teem of his fellow-citizens, demanded an
explanation. After a several and patient
examination he discovered that the report
er of tho local paper “had mixed those
babies up.” He had announced the ru
mors of Mr. Hancock's marriage during
his Eastern tour, and being a popular man
at Grape Creek, his neighbors had turned
out to welcome him and his bride. Mr.
Richard Hardin, just married, was about
taking the train and had left his new wifo
in order to look after the baggage. In the
confusion of so important an event, the
bride bad mistaken Mr. Hancock for her
spouse. The reason of all of which was
explained in the next issue of the Grape
Vine Telegraph, in the following words;
“The mistake which led the Telegraph in
to announcing Mr. Hancock’s marriage
arose altogether out of the remarkable
likeliness between bim and Mr. Hardin—a
resemblance that does not stop at mere
outward appearance alone, but develops
with wonderful accuracy in their genial
natures.”—Detroit Free Press.
Sunday in Park.
Lucy Hooper’s Paris Letter in Philadel
phia Telegraph, Septemober 17th, reads as
follows: I strolled over to the Tuileries
garden last Sunday with my husband.
The band of the Garde Republieane was
playing selections from “Yeddo” and Lu
cia di Lammermoor.” A dense crowd, or
derly and silent as the audience at the
Grand. Opera, filled every available seat.
Overhead, the long, golden rays of the set
ting sun varied tho green foliage as with
shining arrows. Mothers sat around with
their little ones beside them; stalwart pa
pas in clean blouses held solemn looking
babies in their arms, and the old grand
parents looked on well pleased. Every
where there was full enjoyment of the
fresh air, and the sunshine and the music
and the lovely green shadows of the trees.
Nobody was drunk or disorderly, or dirty
or obtrusive. I gazed on the |scene in si
lence. This I thought as I gazed, is what
good people in England and America call
breaking the Sabbath. If this be a sin, it
looks uncommonly like a vtrtue. And I
felt inclined to re-echo Alphonse Daudet’s
kindly exclamation in “Le Nabob,” “Bles
sings on the Sunday of the poor !” And it
is the same everywhere, not only in this
sunlit garden amid the flowers and
the trees, hut out in the surburbs, where
the village festivals take place, or in shady
nooks in the Bois de Vincennes or the
Bois de Boulougne, or in the halls of the
Louvre or the Luxembourg. Everywhere
you will And the same happy, orderly
crowd, the same family groups, the same
hearty enjoyment of the workingman’s
weekty holiday.
Obeying Oiidebs. — He was weeping soft
ly as he came out to join his companions:
peculiar twitching of liis muscles and the
careful manner of his gait were painfully
apparent to the boys; knew that he had
been there and understood the whole busi
ness.
“Been gettin’ a lickin' Ben?" asked sev
eral sympathetically.
“Yes” murmured* he; “I got licked for
obeying orders.”
“Disobeying, you mean?” cried they.
pNo, fur obeyin.’l tell ye,” peosisted he;
then seeing their looks of incredulity, he
made this explanation: “When I were
cornin’ into the house my boots were mud
dy ns blazes, and mother had just been
sembbin’ the floor; says she, “Now, Ben,
you’d better walk right over that clean

Mncauleys Annihilate!-.
On last Monday moraihg as Mr, Macan
ley, the actor, was about to get on board
the train, a queer looking man stepped up
to him and asked for a few minutes con
versation, which was pleasantly granted
by Mr. Mncauley, who has less airs about
him with strangers than any actor in the
profession.
“I’d like to see that annihilator that yon
have—that gun that shoves out like a lele
scopc.”
“Certainly, sir; I have it in my valise.
It frequently comes haG&y when strangers
fool with me.”
The actor went into the train, followed
by the stranger, and soon produced his
“annihilator,” which the othergrasped ea
gerly and began to work his eyee gleam
ing with delight.
“That's a daisy, by jove it is! What’s its
range ?”
“I never really knew how far it would
shoot.
It earrries a pound of powder to u[pint
of shot, and the charge spreads oxjt in all
directions.”
“I’ve got a little racket myself!” said the
stranger, pulling out an immense six
shooter from behind. “That’s the boy
that was the terror of Pioche for years.”
“Ah! Are you the celebrated Pat Hol
land poet and fighter of Pioche?”
“1 am pretty well recognized in the sage
brush country by that name. When I had
this machinery out it clears the streets
quicker than a squad of New York police
could do it. I’d like to buy that annihilator
of yours, for a sort of companion piece, as
it were, to mine- something to balance me
on the other hip.”
“To tell you the truth, Holland, feplied
Macauiey, laughieg, ‘this affair of mine is
only a sham. It doesn't shoot at all—just
meant for the stage, you know!”
“Holly Moses! You don’t mean to say
that you can’t kill with it?”
Exactly!”
‘‘Good-by, sir ! I’ve been goin’ to see yon
nigbt after night, supposing this weapon
was the real cheese, and I’m sold. I used
to dream about night after night, and now
find out its a fraud. lis too much ?”

The Ex-Kedive at Naples.
A foreign Correspondence of the Phila
delphia Evening Bulletin; My next echo
is from Naples. There is the ex-Kodive.who
isthe observer of nil obf ervers. He eats three
times a day, and each time eats well. Be
tween his first and second breakfasts he
reads and writes his letters. Between his
second breakfast and dinner he takes a
drive. After dinner he sends off his tele
graphic correspondence, which costs him
2,000 francs a day! 'Then he goes to visit
his harem, which is in another palace.
The ex-Kedive and suite, indeed occupy
four houses— and yet his yacht is full. A
curious accident occurred the other day. A
great friend of the ex-Kedive—HasSaii' de
Henain the fabulously rich Alexander,
went over to Naples with a cargo of melons
and pines for the Khedive. When he ar
rived at the hotel Hannan discovered tliaq
he had brought no money with him. But
instead of going to a banker he asked tho
lanlord of the hotel to lend him 100 francs
to pay the porters, and leaving a ring worth
30,000 francs in pledge for the 100 francs
he returned on board and steamed off
again to Alexandria “to fetch.liis purse,’’he
said. And those who know his*eccentricitiqs
say this is exactly what he will do and that
he will soon be back in Naples to ask the
Khedive how he liked his melons,
