\ A CORES oondent OF the New Orleans Picou-
une gives the following amusing, but evidently
exaggerated account of the late marriage If the
Princess Adelaide, sister OF the famous Mosqui-
to King:
GREYrowK, Sept. IL, 1851.
/ The day dawned with It's usual splendor; my
ntds OF feathered songsters filled the air With
Their sweet melodies; the placid waters in the
Bay oil bluehelds we're undisturbed by single
| ripple, and the little Dggers set on their haun-
ches, grinniDg with pleasure and waiting for
sunrise. All nature, in fine, was in sweet re-
pose. Suddenly the spell was broken. The
sound OF horn was heard from the distant hills,
Startling the quiet citizens Of Bluefelds from
their slumbers- The signal was answered from
every bill and rivulet in the vicinity These
sounds were followed by the barking Of doos
screeching of parrots, and bleating of goats, and
all the discordant sounds known on earth seem
ed mingled together in sweet &C Infusion. The
martial music approached nearer and nearer, and
Increased in volume until flncied that Pharoah
had risen from his slumbers, and was about to
enter Bluehrlds in his fl .ming chariot 10 be pre-
sent at the royal marriage La few moments,
about three hundred half naked Indians made
their appearance at the main entrance that leads
to the palace. The Princess had arisen from,
her couch of tigers skins, and was standing at
the main gate Of the palace, barefOoted and de-
vouring raw plantain.
| The King soon make his appearance, and ad-
dressed his subjects in the following eloquent
language: DE big King. My sister go marry
niger. Me no like it. Niger di, Grace Indisn
Cussed shame Il drown myself!" His Majesty
could say no more. Overcome with grief, he et-
tered the palace. threw himself upon pile of
dried hides and there relieved the angui OF his
soul by giving vent 10 food Of tears. "Wohw
said his Majesty, "ef me, big King, feel so much
bad cos my sister marry Niger, how common
Mexican feel when him dog die?"
| The royal palace was tastefully decorated
with highly scented hides. Every preparation
being made for the celebration, the Princess en-
tered the palace hall unattended, except by her
pet goat. Her beautiful black hair, creased
with possum fat hung in profnsion over her
shoulders, and contrasted finely with her splendii
dress, which was made of coffee sack. On The
middle finger of her right hand she wore a rich
and costly lin ring, made from sard.ne box
The guests were all assembled, but the happy
| lover had not yet arrived. The Princess became
| impatient, and went to seek him. She found
him playing at marbles. She accosted him thus
slim, weddin all ready an you no cum" jim
replied that ''he had cum to the cusion not to

but lucky thought struck her. "Jim," said she,
"bimeby my buther die, then you'll be King"
| The words had their effect. Jim threw his arms
around the neck of the Princess; their lips met

the palace. They King had thrown off his India

forth to be slaughtered. The poor creature was
supported on each side by two stout men, whilst
a third gave the fatal blow. The animal yielded
up his life like good bull, and as all gentle

| The throne was now tapped the whiskey
flowed freely, and the guests became merry
The feast came to an end; the last drop of
whiskey was drained from the throne; tre-
mendous blast was blown from the rams horns
of all the Mexcans of the Kings household, and
the grand party broke up. Jim is luxuriating
at Bluefieds, waiting for the King to die. Hs
