A Turkish wedding is thus described
by a Constantinople correspondent, under
date of the 26th ultimo:
To-day are to be celebrated the nup-
tials Of the Grand Vizer,s daughter with
a son of Mazloum Bey, iOcum tenens Min
lister of Finance. All the great function
aries are invited to assist at this ceremony,
and sumptous banquet of nearly three
hundred covers is prepared for their re-
ception. Marriage is no triae in the East.
Open house is kept for several days: sew
eral hundred persons are regaled with all
the profusion and hospitality of the Os-
manIi A stranger entering at any hour
of the day or night is Immediately presen-
ted with coffee, sherbet, and the chibOuk;
end if he be "peckish," as is infallibly
the case tray, groaning under the weight
of its contents, all piping hot, soon follows
on the head of an aiudS. Sclomllk, or
men apartment, resounds with uproar-
ious mirth, with hustle and festivity The
harem is hung with splendid Cashmere
shawls, and all decked out in gayest, gor-
geous trim; yet, strange to say, the huge
night-cap of the bridegroom, and / sha'
wing apparatus, are deserted, according tc
usage, as prominent decoration of the
nuptal chamber.
THE bride in vestal garb, and yelled III
her duvak, occupies the post of honor or
the divan-her cheeks, chin, and fore.
head protected by splendid talismans
from the influence of the evil eye. As
evening now advances, at the Eshrefsaat
or propitious hour, the bridegroom enter:
the harcm, distributing, in all directions
handsfull of gold and silver coin. Hav'
ing performed, religiously, his ablutions
and offered up the prayers of Yatzls, OF
the first watch, he is then introduced, by
the Zenki Kadim, into the apartment O
his spoese, whom he unveils, and sees
for the first time; and, having taken of
the talismans from her face, he places OF
her turban an aigrette, the Moslem mar
riage pledge. A boiled fowl is then serv
ed up on silver tray, which the bride
groom, carving in summary Turkisl
style is reduced to atoms in twinkling
and having helped himself, and put NOR
sci into the lady's mouth, the remnant
are carefully preserved as a matter o
much importance. Finally, after this re
past, slave enters with a silver eve
and towel. as is usual for ablution, ant
then the bride, in dutiful bearing, present
her lord with coffee and the chibouk, an
both apply themselves to amorous cha
and cOurtship." -a'~
