WHIPPING A WEDDING PARTY.

A Moping a wedding pnty is a comprehensive sort of puiiisinii--nr, tor iiioli 0 iiichoii, a coal chami s ca - t'-r, will have to give full i xplan.-.tions b'-foic a Parisian police magistrate. Ciuchoii was walkin'; by tho siile of his horse and cart tiie other day, when he was graz-al by the wheels of an open carriage containing a joyous wedding party bound for the Bois de Boulogne. The carter at once began agpbraid in the strongest language in I maiid the driver of the carriage, tb'O'id", im bridegroom, and evoryI. . y win> was with them. Stung to tiie quick, lAsh ux, the bridal charioteer, stopped his horses, jumped oil his seat, at d struck tin; carter twice in the face. Then Desieux, a very nimble person, indeed, rushed hack to his carriage, and in the twinkling of an eye drove away, the whole wedding party’ applauding his action and scoffing at the carter. The latter resolved to have his revenge, lie followed the party at full speed, and coming up with them near the Bois gates, where they were delayed, he slashed at their coachman with his whip. Then he turned his attention to the bride, the bridegroom, and their freinds, and whipped them. Tin bride naturally shri-sed, especially as all her orange--111 o ...Mins Were scattered, and her wed-iiing-dress bore black marks of the caiter’s whip. The men of the party left the carriage, intending to lynch Cauchon, but the police intervened and, as usual in such cases, the whole of the persons connected with the wedding had to attend the nearest station office, where a summons was taken out against the carter, and was signed by everybody concerned except the bride, who remarked that she did not want to go to law on her wedding day. After that the people of the matrimonial pa r ty amused themselves as well as they could in the Bois.
