The banns have been published of John Daniel II and Jenny Lind, spinster. Mr. Daniel is a native of French Gabon and Miss Lind was born in Kevu. The marriage is to take place in London, where Miss Lind was taken by her guardian, Professor T. Alexander Barnes, as soon as Mr. Daniel, who is now on the high seas, returns from his visit to the U. S. with his chaperon Miss Alice Cunningham.
It is said that Miss Lind is the first female gorilla ever captured alive and brought back to civilization. Mr. Daniel is the only human-reared gorilla now living, John Daniel I having died some time ago from homesickness while absent from Miss Cunningham. Scientific society is looking forward with interest to its first opportunity to attend a gorilla wedding.
