At the marriage ceremony on Sunday an incident
occurred, which was not perceived by the great mass
OF the spectators, and which many would look as
an inauspcious omen. The wedding ring which the
Emperor was to place on the brides finger, and
which the grand master OF the ceremonies was sup
posed to have i'll safe keeping, by some chance was
not to be found. The grand master thought it adj
vsable 70 borrow the ring OF OF the princesses
present in order TO be prepared with one at the pro-
per moment This he handed to the Archbishop Of
Paris who officiating, and that prelate had al
ready given it his benediction, when the grand mas
ter deemed it only proper to inform the Emperor of
what had occurred. The Emperor Immediately put
his hand into q side pocket, and drew out a box
which contained the wedding ring, and fine medal,
ornamented with diamonds, on which were marked
the names Of the Empress and OF himself, and the
date Of the marriage The archbishop then blessed
both the ring and the medal thus produced.
A jealous mayor, in the province Of Berry, has
issued an address on the occasion Of the marriage,
ID which he makes out the empress to be Turkish
princess, descended from Greek emperors, and
draws the conclusion that the of the eastern
and western empires will be united on the head Of
Louis Napoleon.
On the day of the celebration Of the religious cere-
mony Of marriage, marked and characteristic diff
ference was observed between the attitude OF the
Polytechnic School and that of the Military School
nnent Lad sent round sheets of paper, which each
Of them should inscribe his vote, by Yes" or
No;'' TO whether they should cry or not, Viue
fEmpotur.n 1t is stated that the numbers were
$50 In the negative and Ia for the affirmative. The
result was that the school, drawn up under one OF
the balconies Of the Tuileries, maintained complete
silence. The school of st. Cyr, on the contrary,
manifested considerable enthusiasm. The Poly
teclnic School in 1880 was among the first who
joined the nsurrection with ardor, while that Of st.
Cyr appeared ready march to the of Charles
x. After ls4S the Polytechnic School was decidedly
democratic, and almost socialist, while its rival
figured on all occasions the adversary Of the de-
mocratic party.
In consequence Of copies of anonymous verses hav-
ing been actively put into circulation, and which
are directed against the reputation of the young En-
press the Minister of Police has issued orders to the
master printers TO practice the strictest vigilance
with respect to their workmen; and they have been
informed that they will be held responsible for any
productions OF the kind which shall be candestiney
printed with their types 1t is said that clue is ex
pecteG TO be- or has been discovered to parties who
have procured the circulation Of these productions.
The Emperor and the Empress went on the Sd
inst to visit the mandatory Of Sevres. His Majesty
having been informed OF the recent death OF an
artist Of the establishment handed to M. Regnault
the director a sum Of ,000f. for the widow, and d
rected him to her Of the interest which ne felt
in her welfare.
