the pageantey and the august display"- the drums and trunpets, the heralds, the men-at- arms, the ladies and gentlemen of honor the crush of titledom, of military, legal, ecclesias- tcal aud political greatness, and the throng of ] oin3ons snobs male and female, who monk eyfed themselves on the occasion of the nnp- tials of the Princess Royal of England. For mouths all Europe has been on tiptoe to hear the least details of the suspicious event "- Newsmongers have made small fortunes by supplying the newspapers with choice items re- specting the trouSseau of the bride, the style of her veil, the "loveliness" of her shoes, the exquisite taste of her India shawls, the spurs and orders of the bridegroom, the shade of his moustachc, and the exact contour of his nose. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been expended in one way or another upon the performance hundreds of families have sub sisted for weeks upon the labor which the mar riage dcvoved upon them.
 Mr. Fillmore, on the contrary, who was the peer of the Prussian bridegroom's grandfather who has descended from rank to which Frederick Williams dearest hope is that he may arrire-Mr Fillmore's wedding chronicled in four lilcs-the name of the clergyman, the place, the date, the names of the parties, and the act of matrmony This was all the papers had to say abonc it. Nor did the ceremony call for more. At the time fixed the bride groom joined his bride in quiet sitting room and both shook hands quietly with the clergy man. A very few select friends were present. After Ii tie cozy conversation, the parties stood up, the clergyman asked the usual ques- tions made the usual prayer, received (we pre- sume) the usual fec, and all was over
 We hope both marriages may prove so hap py that neither can ever be said to have been the happiest. As they say of hanging--hang- cd high or hanged low, it is much the same to the person hanged--so of marriages married quietly in country parlor, or married noisily with organ, drum, trumpet and pageantry in royal chapel, it must be all the same, after day or two, to tie persons married. Let us wish both couples joy !--N Y. Herald.

Two MARRIAGEs-A CONGRESS-. Strange to say, within day of each other the Herald has contained notices of two marriages in the very higest walks of life. The one was the marriage of Prince Frederick William of .Pruss!a to the Princess Royal of England :: the other was that of ex-P President Fillmore to Mrs. Mcintosh of this State. The bridegroom in the former case was possible heir to q U me In the latter, the exncumbent of a Presidential chair, and possible candidate for like honor in the future. Yet what a contrast in the ceremonies

 That's the news that's the news!

A Lightning Man in a Fix.

At Cincinnati, the other day, Mir. T. Kings ton, who puts up lightning rods, climbed to the top Of the spire of St. Paul's Cathedral two hundred and thirty-fve feet where, having left his ladder below, he clung by his arms and legs, fastened the last foot of the rod and at | tached it's poiut-quite a heavy piece of met al-securely, as he supposed, to the cross sur mounting the steeple He had just completed this difficult and dangerous task, watched by number of persons in the street lelow, and while looking at the work and experiencing that satisfaction which results from hazard passed and labor accomplished, of a sudden, something heavy struck him and made his brain reel until he could hardly see. Instead of To- sing his hold at once, as would seem to have been the natural and inevitable result, he clung with power beyond himself and a will supe- rior to his own, closer and instinctivcIy to the spre. He knew not what had occurred, and to his confused senses it appeared that the steepc was tumbling or that some strange cause was about to brlug the vast struc' ure 10 the ground.
 have elapsed before he sufficiently collected his scattered thoughts and subverted conscious ness to know that the entire upper part of the iou Hdu ldllcil upon HIS neau causing the DlOOQ to trckle over his forehead and nearly blind him. He was in a dreadful perplexity and most dangerous position. He feared if he moved, he would go cleaving ::,e sir to ter rlble death upon the stoney s.reet below-and at the same time he knew he could net in the dlsordered state of his nerves, and his increas- ing weakness retain his grasp more the result of fate than feeling, much longer. If he stir. red he might fall if he remained he certainly would and so, determined at least to make one effort for his life, he put one foot very eau tlously, then his arms, and then moved the otll- ! CT foot and after half minute of exertion, and the greatest danger, he touched the top most round of the ladder. and in a few seconds more was inside of the steeple and safe. Then it was Mir. Ks great courage and strength forsook him his nerves and muscles relaxed he grew sick unto death his knees gave way his vision swan, and he sank upon | the platform motionless aud insensble He must have lain there half an hour before he could rise aud walk and he did not recover from than fortnight afterwards
 The people gazing up at him from the street describe the scene as painful and exciting ill the extreme. When they observed the rod fall, thrill of horror ran through their hearts, and two women swooned away for they ex- pected to behold him the next moment dashed to pieces at their feet.
