From ''Recollections of an Equestrian
Manager" in Chambers Journal, we ex-
tract the following amusing incident:
While performing at Brighton, we had
Henry Brown as one of our clowns; not q
''tumbllng," only a talking clown. In
his younger days Brown had been a first.

had rendered him somewhat more rotund

Charles Dickens somewhere says, has to

he was no bad hand. At the time of
which am writing he was tail and of a
portly build. and very gentlemanly
looking man. as far as could Judge Of
him in his clowns attire and painted face.
AS ring-master, I saw hlm and talked
with him every day in the ring; but he

Leaving Brown at this point, I must
Introduce a person whose acquaintance l
had formed as follows: In my daily
walks tor the past two or three weeks, I
had regularly met a gentleman in the
street, who, il going in an opposite direc-
tion from myself, would invariably stop
for morning chat; or if in the same al.
rection, would accompany me on my way
fol short distance, the topics of our
conversation usually being the weather,
local news, politics, and other equally or
iginal subjects. Looking upon him as
perhaps visitor to Brighton, or perhaps

an inhabitant of the town, who had re-
cognized me through going to the circus,
it struck mo as something not quite in
accordance with human nature that he
never once mentioned one word of circus
matters or made any reference to myself
as connected Herewith. From his ap-
pearance-of commanding stature and
somewhat stout, dressed with scrupulous
care from the crown of his shining hat
to the toes Of his well.polished boots
he might have passed muster for a
prosperous retired merchant. But
there was calm gravity in his face and
| in his demeanor, which spoke of clerical
sobriety Of thought and Quietness of life,
and made me more than half inclined to
look upon my acquaintance as dissent
ing minister. Hence, while his censci-
cntious scruples forbade him to discourse
upon the frivolities of circus, his broth
erly love impelled him to converse with
the manager thereof, perhaps in the hope
that he might wean me from such path
of wickedness!
One morning I had raid visit to the
Mayors house on business connected
with the circus, and had not gone many
yards from the door, when met my
mysterious friend.
"Fine morning. he said, as l ap-
preached.
Beautiful" replied.
"How did you get on with the Mayor
he then asked. (He must have seen me
come away from the house.)
"The Mayor2" l answered, in the tone
of one who was not quite certain what a
"Mayor" might bc.
"Yes-the Mayor" he echoed. "You
have just been to his house, haven't youl
Wasn't he at home?''
30, yes; he was at home,' l replied
"But you'll excuse my saying tiny
business with the mayor was of private
connected with the circus"
"Precisely so,' cody answered my
companion. "That's just why I thought
myself entitled to ask. But it's OF nc
consequence
"Confound the fcllowl" I mentally cx
claimed; adding aloud, "Well, you must
pardon my rudeness; but really, sir,
fail to see, in what way my employers
business can concern you.'
This seemed to stagger him little
and how the dialogue might have ended,
can't tell, had I not at that moment, as
looked him full in the face, noticed a
peculiar twitch or twinkle of the cyclid
and recognized the man. 1t was Brown,
the clown!
lat once apologized, and explained
! that up to that moment I had not had
the faintest notion who he was.
"Pray, don't apologize, my dear tel
low," he replied, "but, considering that
for the past fortnight you and have
stood face to face in the ring, and rat
tied away on terms OF the greatest init
macy, I could never have dreamt you

WhiDDed and ISridcIcSS.

Tkey don't permit drunken man to
marry i'll Odessa. On the contrary, they
whip him and give his bride to Another.
An illustration of this occurred, when a
couple appeared i'll church and request
ed the priest to marry them.
The priest, detecting all unstealiness
of gait in the bridegroom, refused, and
called the Young man "boozing
swine" Indignant at the untimcly in
cbr;ate, the father of the drnnkarl
seized him by the collar, dragged him
out OF the church, and belabored him
with stout cudgel, in the hope of max
ing him sober enough to marry.
The brides father, however, took I,
more practical view Of the situation.
and, declaring the engagement off, said
that any eligible candidate for his
daughters hand might we'd her on the
spot without incurring any expense.
Two aspirants came forward, and after
inspection by the bride, and interroga-
ton as to their worldly condition, one
was politely dismissed, and the other
took the "boozing swine's" place, and
was made a happy husband.
