ROYAL MARRIAGES.

There are some very particular ceremo-
MES connected with royal marriages, when
celebrated in England which are not likely
to be very pleasant, in the opinion of the
Queen. No minute account has been pub
lished, but Horace Walpo and others
have told enough to whet and even partly
to crafty curiosity. In 1884, when the
Princess Anne (eldcst daughter of George
ll.) married the Prince Of Orange (who
treated her like brute) she was dressed
in the virgin robes of silver tissue, having
train six yards long, which was supported
by ten dukes and earls' daughters, of all
whom were atured in robes Of eilver tissue.
AT twelve o'clock, the royal family supped
in public. About two, the bride and BRIDE
groom retired, and were afterwards seen by
the nobility, sitting up in their bed, in rich
undresses." All this is very delicate!
In the same way, when Frederick, Prince
of Wales was welded in 1886, after the
newly married pair had supped with George
the Second and Queen Caroline, the bride
being led to hel bedchamber, and brde-
groom passed to his dressing room, where
the eking did him the honor of putting onhls
shirt, while the bride was being disrobed
by four English princesses. She was then
assisted into bed, wearing splendid un-
dress, and the King came into the apart
ment to pay his compliments, or give his
blessing. The Prince followed in night
gown of silver stuff The must have found it
very cold!) and rich laced night-cap. All
the quality were admitted to see the mar

Proposition FOR CONCLUDING THE FLo-
RTDA WAR.--Col. Jenigan, of Georgia, has
offered to undertake the subugution of Flo
rida, Oil speculation. He offers to find his
own men and TO make a complete and eifec-
tual conquest of the whole territory within
nine days from the time Of entering it; and
to come under bonds to the amount of one
million ofdoars for the performance of his
contract. His price is one-third of the
amount already expended by the govern
ment, without accomplishing any thing.
Col Jenigan has had experience in Indian
warfare and is qualified for the undertaking.
We find the above paragraph in an ex-
change paper without credit. Whether
such proposition has been seriously made
is doubtful, but there is no question that a
man acquainted with Indian warfare might
take the Florida war on contract, at the
terms proposed, and make money out of
the bargain. 1t is notorious that during
the Black Hawk war, many individuals in
the western country professed their read-
ness and ability to bring it to successful
termination at one half its cost to the 60
vernment. .-.-BuG. Put.

The breaking up of the river at Pitts
burg on the 14th was attended with come
serious accidents. The Advocate of the
18th says:-" The river has risen seven
feet, and of course the ice is running out.
The break up was attended with disaster
Gus consequences. The first movement of
the Ice, opposite the city, was from the
mouth of Short street, and so great was
the strength of the floating body, that it
crushed and sunk a large number of coal
boats which lined the shore above the
mouth of Saw Mill Run; II boats with their
cargoes went down, and will prove total
loss.
"The ice from above gave way yester-
day, and sunk two steamboats, at cur
wharf, tie Beaver and Ontario; they will be
repaired, no doubt, with moderate expense,
Some injury was also done to several other
steamboats,, One new boat was consider
ably damaged
1t was with some difficulty that some
large boats came over from the Licking, to
our landing, on Saturday, in consequence
of the heavy floating Ice Gin. Rep.

THB LITERARY REPUTATION OF GENE
RAL HARRIsoN.-At the request of the
Historical Society of Ohio, Gen. Harrison
prepared Discourse, the last year, upon
the subject of the Aborlgnes of the Val
ley of The Ohio, to which is prefixed some
remarks on the study of history. The 4th
vol. of the New York Review, 1888, speaks
of this work as literary production ofhigh
merit. The reviewers say that Gen. H.
comments upon the lessons of ancient his
tory, with the fondness for classical names
and events, which belong to the educated
gentleman. But the history Of our own
times, and especially of our own country,
he considers duty which no American
should feel himself at liberty to neglect.
We regret that our limits will not, at this
time, permit our making some extracts from
this valuable discourse. The reviewers, at
the close often pages of their comments
upon it, say--"We take leave, with regret
of this able and immaculate Discourse, pre-.
missing the consciousness that we fail Of
not having done justice to its merits. It
eylnces, in an eminent degree, great pa
tience Of research, combined with high
powers of historical and philosophical anal
ysls, while the literary execution of the pa
per reflects credit upon the distinguished
author"

The New York Evening Post publishes
the following from its Washington cores
pondent:
"General Hurrison's poverty has ava
kened the sympathy Of the ladies' of this
District, and they are now at work, getting
up a subscription to supply the 'war.worn
hero with suit of clothes. If you have
any old shoes, old boots, old hats, or old
stockings, send them on, and they will be
forwarded to the 'hero Of the North
Bend.'"
Go on, gentlemen; General Harrison Is a
poor man, it is tue; and honest poverty
does not, IN these days of pride meet with
the respect it did in the age of the Roman
Fabrlcius; but there are those who will not
think the less of war-worn veteran, be-
cause he has served his country almost his
whole lifetime, and has not lined his Golfers
with his country's gold. General Harrison
has that which is better than god--the re-
collection, that if his arm is now weak, it's
best strength was spent in striking strong
and well for his native land; that if his
head is gray, its best abors, in youth and
age, have been for his country. If this
country has virtue enough in it to merit the
continuance of our Republican institutions,
General Harrison will never owe his want
Of success to his poverty.

We lean that Mr.. Senator Tallmadge
will arrive in this city to-day, on his way to
Washington, and leave here on Monday, A.
M. for Philadelphia. In the reelection of
this distinguished gentleman and honest
man to the Senate oflhe United States, not
only the Wings of New York, but the
Wings ofthe United States, and Wing prin-
ciples every where, have achieved a victory
such as has rarely if ever been equaed.
Such a victory could not have fallen on
more worthy shoulders; and nobly will he
sustain the anticlpations fins friends in his
course in the Senate of the United States.
His return to that body is triumph such as
seldom falls to the lot Of any individual, and
we should rejoice to witness the counte-
nances Of the Loco Foco time serving and
unprinciped members of that body, when
Mr.. Tallmadge comes among them, fresh
from the people ofthe Empire State, and by
his presence strikingly illustrating the fate
of all who have opposed his honest political
