attracted, last evening at Topeka, one OF
the finest audiences of the season. The
Commonwealth to-day says in its re-

Every point was taken by the bright

slant tapping of feet, clspping of hands
or hearty cheering as the clear-thinkIng

his apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Mr.. Prentis has pair of eyes that see
everything that is visible, and the hap
piest manner of conveying the vision to

pervsded in every fibre by q broad and
manly Americanism-the courage to

Gen. Hunts father was one of thu
homeliest men in Washington, says a
writer in the Pittsburg Times. He was
q physician. After he had practiced
his profession for time he married a
Miss Ringold, one of the handsomest
young ladies in all of Maryland. This
story of the marriage has been told me
by an old Washingtonian: Zone time

when he was an occupant of the white
house. During my stay 1 was taken
seriously LII. and the general called on
DR.. Hunt to attend me. When he
came into my room, where was con-
fined to my bed, President Jackson
came with him. The two thought I
was asleep, and not wishing to disturb
me. they sat before the fire and began
a conversation heard the general
say: Hunt, how did you ever happen
to marry Miss Ringold?'
" IN tell you, said the physician.
When she was attending boardin q
school her eyes were injured and she
was blinded I was called TO prescribe
for her. For some time l Kept her
eyes bandaged, and she finally recov-
cred her sight, but she did not see me.

The SYMPHONIES CONCERr.

One more notable social event has
come and gone, and with it several
hours of pleasure, merry laughter and
old time songs. The entertainment was
properly denominated "sunfioWer con-
cert" and about the first thing that met
the gaze of the visitor after that of the
richly furnished halls of Major Hoods
residence, was q row of eight sunflowers
IN the parlor, arranged as if on dress pa
rade. The flowers, which were q new
species, the stems being made of some
green fabric and the flowers of yellow,
were made fast to white curtain, be-
hind which were arranged the musicians
of the evening. ,,
The disk of each flower was movable
and was often displaced and in its stead
the phYsiognomY of the singer appeared.
Shining through the disks of the flow
ers like the rsY-shsped petals of
the corolla were the countenances of K.
E. TorriHgton, Mrs. Sommers, Miss L.
Rookie, Mrs. George Peters, Mr.. Charles
Fletcher, Charley Holmes and MIR.
Pratt. Mrs. Pratt presided at the piano,
while through the yellow of the SUM-
flowers came the music of "The
Last Rose of Summer" "Only
One More River to Cross" "Good-
night, Ladies'" Golden Slippers" etc.
After the concert the audience distribu.
ted itself among the brilliantly lighted
rooms engaging in whist and Other
games while a few stripped lightly
with Miss Goddard at the piano. The
refreshments served could not have beer
surpassed and the manner In which the
]. Y. G.'s entertained those present made
the evening most enjoyable one. The
j. Y, G. social and concert last evening
was certainly bigsunhower among thil
years entertainments in Emporia.
The members of the club desire Il
thank Mr.. and Mrs, Hood for their kind
ness and for the marked degree of hos
pitalIty with which the club and 1t
guests were entertained.
