From London Truth.
Only the anticipation OF some pleasant hunting
parties In Hungary can have sustained the Prince
Of Wales under the horrors which he endured last
week. on the day OF his arrival at Vienna the
prince was engaged from morning to night In re.
ceiving and paying formal visits Etiquette re.
quired that he should go about in the gaudy but
very uncomfortable uniform OF the Twelfth
Austrian hussars which consists OF a short gold
nogged tunic OF dark blue cloth, with scarlet
breecheS, Hesslan boots and white snakO In this
garb and wearing the Garter and the green and red
ribbon OF the Hung arian order OF ST. stephen the
prince drove dolefully about Vienna and paid no
fewer than ten visits, after which he hurried home
10 receive the return calls for which ceremonies t
was necessary for him TO throw on his Austrian
garment and appear In the full uniform Of an Eng
lish field marshal When the last or the visitors
urom the emperor down to the various officers of
the Twelfth Hussars) had departed, yet another
change OF dress was necessary, and the prince put
on his Butcher Hussar uniform and the Order OF
the Black Eagle, and drove TO call on Prince Reuss
al the German embassy. The maneuvers at Bell
oyar (Which the prince detested from the bottom
OF his hearty were much worse, as for three sue
cessive days he was In the saddle with the empe-
ror and archdukes all thoroughly In earnest about
the ouslnessl FROM o'clock TO ], and from Till g.
The situation was aggravated by the fact that II.
r IL. was unable even TO enjoy a cigarette during
those weary hours, as the emperor absolutely pro.
hlolts smoking on duty. The imperial party were
riding about most oriskly nearly all the time over
the not and dusty plains OF BelOvar, and many
years have elapsed since the prince has been SC
thoroughly exercised, and has experienced sucn
genuine fatigue.

Arlo Bates, in the Providence Sunday Journal
The tale Is to the effect that DR.. oliver Wendell
Holmes and the venerable DR.. Peabody, OF Cam
bridge, once had an appointment to see statue Of
Eurydice. DR.. Holmes arrived 1rst and when q
few moments later his friend drove up in q cab he
greeted him with the very obvious pun:
"Ah, you rid, see."
Dr. Peabody was wonderfully pleased with this
sally, and on his return home attempted to repeat
1t tor the benent OF his family.
"Dr. Holmes was extremely witty this after
noon, he said. ave went to see the Eurydice and
when drove up he said just as quick as q HASH,
'Ah, Doctor, ! see you came in q buggy.'n
