A Very Large Band, ,

It is seldom that foreigner sees any thing in this country which comes anywhere near the importance of what he has seen, in the same line, In his own country. At the time of the dedication of the Clay monument at Lexington, Ky, large number of the then leading brass bands of the United States were on hand and participated in the ceremonies. Among these were Dodworth's band of Philadelphia, Menter's of Cincinnati, the Chicago Zouave band and that of the Milwau- kee Light Guards. In the evening, after the regular ceremonies were over, all of these got together with several hundred instruments and performed in concert. Among other selections they played the Anvil Chorus" with real anvil accompaniment, and the music was grand. A little French jeweler of the place, afterward ap- preached native citizen, rerlarking "You hear no museek in dees country. Go to France to hear museek. Ze Grand band of Paree have some forty seven thousand instrumong, wiz seven hoondrad littal drum, and forty -seven bass drum. Beside i've, six, seven great gun zat shoot wan hoondrad pound powdare.

A SINLESS FALL.

The congregation of Elk River church, 8 meeting house situated In an exceedingly rural community about seventy-flve miles northwest of Chi- cago, decided that ss few new hymn books and gospel papers were needed, the iiev. Anthony Nash should go to Chicago and purchase them. Mir. Nash, having never seen the city, was exceed ingly pleased with the appointment. He knew, as all country people do, how wicked city is, and he thought that by merely keeping his eyes open he could find a text for great sermon
 He was thrilled by the busy scenes and found delightful rest In the parks One morning, the third day after hi, arrival, and while he was wondering if he could reach the railway station that afternoon in time to catch the train, he strolled quite distance from the business center of the city. He looked at his watch and discovered with alarm, that he only had four hours in which to catch the train The strect-cars were running in the wrong direction. Just then patrol wagon came along. There was only one policeman on the seat.
 "There's the baggage wagon and the baggage master" the preacher unused. "I will get in and ride with him."
 He climbed into the wagon, without attracting the attention Of the police man, and took a seat. The wagon stopped at police station. A police man came up to the wagon, and ad- dressing the preacher, said;
 "Come on here, now"
 "Are you sure my books have been sent to the depotf"
 "Come on, 1 teIi you.7
 The policeman on the seat, half drunk and half asleep, paid no atten- ton 10 the performance.
 Mr. Nash got out of the wagon and turned to go away, but the policeman seized hin, and, in spite of his strug- gles, took him to . cell.
 The next day he was taken before court. The policeman who he'd driven the wagon--to show that he was keenly alive to the interests Of the city-brought forward . charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The honest preacher told his story. The judge, the policeman and the re- portsrs laughed st him. He wss fnsd ten dollar, and the afternoon pspsrs devoted many mirth- provoking hnss to him.

v1sscHER's STORIES.
Rather Particular.

Some years ago, two brothers, Wes- ley and Edward Perrin, kept in Dem yer 6 very handsome saloon and cigar store. They catered to the best trade of the city, and kept the. finest goods, In their line, to be obtained. Such a thing as flve-cent cigar was unknown in Denver, and, indeed, a five-cent piece was of no use except for pur- chasing stamps at the postofiioe. By custom the nickel was not legal ten- der In the Rocky mountain region. Finally, however, one of the customers of the Perrin Bros, who had been east and during the trip had smoked some very good five-cent cigars, pre- vailed upon the Perrins, after much persuasion, to import from Chicago small stock of the five. centers. After the arrival of the invoice, the customer came in one day, in order to give the innovation his moral support, and made purchase of "a few of the cigars. Cutting the point from one of them, he was approaching the gas jet used for lighting the weeds, when Edward Perrin approached him with deep con- cern depicted OH his face, and inno- gently remarked: "If it's all the same to you, I would much rather you wouldn't smoke that thing in the house."
 The customer gazed at Perrin in blank surprise for moment, and then said, F --.----''1aSsA 1'"'-- ~ s'-''' w - 1'
 "Well, your gall is refreshing" Perrin replied, offering sn excellen. Havana: "That's one on me. I'd like to have you stop awhile and talk over old times. Have regalia. Smoke with me-"
 The customer accepted, and the two sat down and enjoyed a chat together without being disturbed by the scent of five- scenter.
