Buffalo Bill's Wild West In England (Part2)

REGISTERED. ------- Captain Black says that if the supreme court decision is correct there will be nothing in future to prevent the arrest of anarchists. Confound it, captain, nobody wants to prevent their arrest; nobody except the honest citizens, who would like to see the entire lot tied together and thrown into the sea. --Philadelphia Call. Said an English woman of rank to an American lady: "Was Buffalo Bill invited to dine ou tmuch when he was in New York?" "He never dined in his life till he came to London," was the reply; "when he was at home 'he had something to eat' at 12 o'clock.--Detroit Free Press. Ponsoby--Aw, Gus! Where are you going?" De Twirliger--Pray don't detain me. I have just been to a luncheon at Mrs. Bonefield's. Ponsonby--Well? DeTwirliger--And now I am going to get something to eat.--Evening Call. Politician--If you people don't like the candidates we nominate, why don't you attend the primaries and shape thing to suit yourselves? Citizen--I can't afford it. Politician--Did you ever try? Citizen--Yes, three times, and had my pocket picked each time.--Omaha World. The following is printed at the bottom of the bill of fare at a Little Muddy, Dakota, hotel.

BUFFALO BILL poses as the typical American in England, and Blaine has to confine himself to being a typical Republican. The crowd follows Bill.

Buffalo Bill's Daughter. A correspondent who has met Buffalo Bill and his daughter in London describes the latter as a young lady of nineteen, "inclined to be pretty, rather converying the impression that she revels in sucking oranges, chewing gum, etc." One of the curious features of her make-up noted was a piece of court-plaster stuck artistically on the side of her nose.--Exchange.

Buffalo Bill's Royal Partrons. I inquired about the Prince of Wales and the queen, and how they happened to take so cordially to the Wild West. Said Cody: "The prince is a very democratic sort of man. The first time he spoke to me he called me Bill, and asked me if I had ever held four kings before. I told him I had often held four kings, but this time I had the Prince of Wales, and that made the royal flush(?). His wife, if possible, is more democratic than he is. She is a remarkably good woman, and perfectly unaffected." She expressed a great desire to ride in the stage coach. It was impromptu, and we tried in vain to get the Indians to understand that they must not get too close with the coach to fire. They got an idea that somebody important was inside, and that therefore they must fire a little worse than ordinarilly. We went through a good deal of trouble here for fear somebody or other might get hurt through the flashing of powder or wads or something. The Princess of Wales got out with a face perfectly white, and she said with her broken accent: "Now I am sure I have been to war! I have been under the(?), I know!" Colonel Cody said that the queen was a very motherly, domestic sort of woman, whose inquiries were almost entirely addressed to the health of the people in the show. She wanted to know how the Indians got along; if they had any disease, and were comfortable. "She seemed to me," said Cody, "to be a philathropic, kindly woman."–"Gath" in Cincinnati Enquirer.

"Gath's" Visit to Buffalo Bill.

About Buffalo Bill's entertainment exist the strongest feelings of nationality. Cody himself considers that he is to some extent an American officer. Texas cowboys are as patriotic as Sioux Indians from Wyoming. Buffalo Bill has but little trouble to get along here, as he is thoroughly simple in his intentions; but he expressed some pain at something published in an American newspaper which made it appear that he guying some of the English princes. Said he "I would not guy these men for anything in the world, as they have treated me with wonderful consideration, and I do not believe that it is a proper thing to play any practical joke on a well meaning man." "Oh, I 'understand that this show costs $2,000 a week; it may be $2,000 a week; it may be $2,000 a day--it is one or the other. But I did not like to inquire too minutely into the finances of the exhibition. Salisbury and Bill have their treasurer, who is an exact and painstaking man. The show seemed to me to be far better than it was in America. This may be because they have so much larger and better grounds to perform in, and the riding is excellent. Most of the feats, such as shooting by the women, are exceedingly well done. A good many of the British people think that the bucking horses are trained to buck in sight of the audience; but this is a mistake, for when I went to the stables Jack Burke held me back. "If you go in there,' and he, 'you may get your brains kicked out. (There is not calculating on those hoses at all.'"--"Gath" in Cincinnati Enquirer.
