SWANSCOMBE Church, near Dartford, was the scene of a little fun one Sunday morning a short time since. The rector published the banns of marriage between himself and the daughter of well-known high art furniture dealer, who resides in the same parish. No notice was taken of the announcement until after the sermon, when the young lady's brother rose and protested against it, on the ground that it was made without his sister's knowledge; but the rector, nothing daunted, replied, "It's too late now. Let us pray."

Two more characteristic, anecdotes about Band- mann, "the greatest tragedian in the world." Daniel Edward required the aid of a few supers" for acveral of his Shakesperean representations, and at our suggestion engaged several men of amateurs-agreeing to pay them one dollar per the R. A.-some of whom are fairly good

man for each performance. The honourable Bandmann on settling up with these men refused to carry out his promise, said they ought to be satisfied with seeing the performance free of charge, and eventually pained them off with go cents a bead. A Chinese carpenter was employed to erect the balcony scene in "Romeo and Juliet. that scene where Daniel looked a cross between a barrel organ man and jolly Jack Falstaff, and in which the little donkey's" San Francisco love making experiences stood her in good slead and after working at it for a whole day came for his wages. He asked for half a dollar, "Give the scoundrel ten cents and kick him off the stage" howled the eminent one to his stage manager, and this was the sum actually paid. The orchestra Bandmann engaged for Othello he never paid at all. He thought they received quite enough by being permitted free of charge to see him in his great mission of making Shakes- pere famous. We are not quite sure what are the proper terms applied by law to the tragedian's acts above mentioned. In our own homely way we characterise them as swindling transactions of the paltriest and meanest kind. We wander if our learned friend Mr. Francis thinks that it is for the public benefit these shady doings of his late eminently respectable client should be exposed!'

SAYS the Bulletin :—It was in Queensland, one short month ago. The marriage had been duly consummated by the rev, father, and the feast was done, when, to the amaze of all, the blushing bride, in the exuberance of her spirits, wanted to substitute another for her liege lord. He naturally pointed out that the desire was unreasonabic, even unbecoming; but she persisted, and could not be induced to retire in the usual and lawful manner. The issue was a general mixing up, eviction of the guests, and a free fight.

IN the expressive language of the immortal Mr. Toots we ask-what is our morning contem- porary's little game? Yesterday afternoon the honorary secretary of the Cricket Club sent round to the three local papers as an item of nows, the information, that a match would be played on Saturday next between teams selected by the Treasurer and Secretary respectively. The cir- cular which reached us last, distinctly states for our local columns. And as a paragraph that the information conveyed therein was

And so it did in the Daily Press; but as the morning paper evidently does not care about publishing news items unless it is paid for so doing, the " artful one" also repeated the secretary's circular as an advertisement.

"Educationist," meaning a person who addresses the Social Science Congress on questions of the theory of education, is another bad new word.

A DEPLORABLE accident, says a home contem- porary, has occurred at Cannes to a member of Sanger's circus troupe. A negro, who was replacing the regular lion-tamer, who was wounded at Freyjus, was entering the lion's cage, when his foot slipped, and he fell on bis face. The lions, with their natural, instinct, rushed upon the prostrate man, and repeatedly tore his flesh, a young one especially holding him with persistence, and tearing his thigh. An assistant rushed to his rescue, and repelled four of the lions with his pitchfork, but the fifth refused to let go till a red hot bar had been thrust
