New york wedding snobbcry.

Extrayagance, pretension, pomp and
snobbery on wedding occasions have been
growing rankly in this country of late, and
have just gone to seed under Cuban cult,
ration in New York city. A few months
ago Cuban named OYiedo, said to be
worth S4,000,000 in sugar and coffee plan
tations and slaves, met in New York a
daughter of Lieut.. Bartlett, formerly Of
the Navy, and won her hand. 1t was the
meeting of January and May, SIS and Sc.
For weeks past the approaching bridal
has been fruitful topic with snobdom and
the penny-a-liners.
The wedding took place on the 18th in
st. Patrick's Cath edral, Archbishop
Hughes officiating Railings were erected
to keep the uninvited from TIE vicinity of
the altar, and 5000 invitations were issued.
Several of the New York papers devote
columns to descriptions of the crowd, par
ties, and ccremonials, ekeing out in the
most stilted funkeyism minute accounts
Of the number of bridemaids and grooms,
six of each, the jewels of the bride, the cut
of the whiskers and mustache of the dark
wrinkled bridegroom, and the paternal
tears at the altar! The bridal presents are
reported at $4,000, the bridal dress S.
600, jewels, &C., 100000 etc. etc. BIi-
dal dress of Paris point lace, hair wreath
ed with orange flowers, the jewels from
Tiffany thus described:
The necklace, broad festoon of pure
strands of pearls, met in ribbon of brill
iants arranged as a love-knot, from which
depended pear shaped pearl of great size
and, no doubt, price. The bracelet was
a quadruple band of pearls, but confined
within two rows of diamonds. The ear
rings were composed of diamonds and |
pearls. The brooch was formed of dia-
monds uualloyed by baser jewels, and es-
peeially distinguished by superior 'brio-
lette" diamond, stone of peculiar shape
and cut.
In closing its sickning account the Tri-
bune says-"Society breathes more freely"
No doubt of it, scrub snobbery constitutes
metropolitan society.

In 1886 took place Louis Napoleon's unsuc.
cessful attempt to get up revolution at Stras-
burg. He was sent out of the country and was
recalled from the United States by the alarming
state of his mothers health. In 1888, being
driven out of Switzerland, on the demand OF
Louis Philippe, he went to reside in London
In 1889 he published Des Idees Napoliennes, q
fine translation of which has just been issued by
the Appletons, at New York. In 1s4s he made
that unsuccessful descent upon Boulogne, which
consigned him, a political prisoner, to the For
tress of Ham. In 1s46 he escaped to England,
where he remained until the Revolution of 1s4s
recalled him to France, and soon placed him in
the Presidential chair there. On December 2,
1851, in consequence of knowledge that his
opponents meditated heavy blow at his author
ity, he executed the coup detat, which over
threw the National Assembly, and caused his
election first as President for ten years, and next
as Emperor, with succession in his family. he
was proclaimed Emperor on December Q, 1862,
and Immediately after married Eugene, Count
ess de Teba., His recognition as Emperor was
immediate on the part of the United States and
England, and rather tardy by the German States.
In 1863 he entered into an alliance with Eng
land, Austria, and Sardinia against Russia,
which resulted in 1854 in the Crimean war and
the defeat of Russia. Allied with Sardinia, be

Boys Going out OF Fashion.

tbs the remark Of every English traveller who
comes among us, that there are "no boys in A.
merica." OIr gentlemen smoke and sport
of frock coat and walking stick at fourteen,
while in England they turn over their collars
and wear jacket and trowsers till they are twen-
ty-one. So tar, very well Ours is "fast"
country. But we were not prepared to see the
principle recognized in the action of our govern.
ment. By the following paragraph in the
"Times" We see that midshipmen are to be left
out-boys jumping at once to lieutenancy, that
| is to say: "Ever since we had navy the mid
shipman has been regarded as an indispensable
institution on board our ships-of-wsr, and old
Oommodores would as soon have thought of 60
ing to sea without pinnacle, or bob-stsy, as
without the usual number of young gentlemen
The MILDLY has been regarded as necessary to
the creation of the higher grade of officers, as the
egg is to the fowl. He has become naval ne
cessity as well as political institution; and
members OF Congress have looked upon the gift
of midshipmsn's warrant as much part of
their perquisites as the books they vote them
selves at Congress. There have been some bold
innovators who have bad the courage to declare
that the midshipman was q useless and aristo-
cratic appendage to the service, which we had
borrowed from England, and that such an anom-
ely as young gentlemen on shipboard should be
abolished. The late Fenimore Cooper and Com.
modore Stewart were among those who enter
tanned such radical notions, and 'avowed them
selves in favor of making promotions directly
from the ranks, and doing without the midship-
man altogether. No attempt to produce such q
reform in the service has ever been made, but
practical demonstration has been offered Of the
possibility of dispensing with the services of
young gentlemen in our ships-of-war. The Sa-
bine which recently went to sea as the flagship
of the Brazilian station, though the largest frig-
ate in our navy, and the largest, for that matter,
in any navy, had not single midshipman on
board. 1t is the first time, we believe, that one
of our national vessels has ventured to sea with
out q complement of these germs of future com =
manders and commodores; and If she should ar.
rive at her destined port safely, perhaps our
Secretary of the Navy may venture to send 9TH
or ships to sea without these budding oficers.---
In time the whole order may possibly be sbol.
shed, and the same rule obtain in the navy that
works go well in the merchant service, Of pro-
motion from the ranks. If that time should eY-
er arrive, very different class of men would
enter the service from what are found there now
and it would not again be necessary to appoint
retiring board to weed out the incompetent
drones who had fastened themselves upon the
navy. 1t is understood that the reason of the
Sabine being sent to sea, without any mdsbip-
men was that there were none on hand whose
services could be made available. Home Jour

WHAT WE GAINED IN TME.-The magnetic
telegraph is an institution, and the fact is most
strikingly manifested by comparing the time in
different eras necessary to spread intelligence
During the war in the Spanish pennsular, it
took weeks and months for intelligence from the
seat of war to reach England, and even France.
The battle of Balen had been fought, and an ar
my annihalated in the heart Of Spain, one month
before anything was known of the fact in Mad
rid, and two months before it was known in
London. In the present Italian campaign, the
check the Austrians received at Frassinetto, on
the 3rd of May, was published in the London
papers of the 9Th, and in all the cities of the o.
nited States on the 10th inst. 1t takes consider
bly, less time now to spread the intelligence of
important events entirely over two continents,
than it did, half century ago, for intelligence
to travel from one boundary to the other of the
smallest European State

RIoHEs.-A young man once expressed his
surprise to DR.. Franklin that the possession of
great riches should ever be attended with great
solicitude, and instanced merchant, who, al
though in possession of unbounded wealth, was
as busy and much more anxious, than the most
industrious clerk in his counting-room.
The Doctor in reply, took an apple from a
fruit basket, and presented to a child in the
room, who could scarcely grasp it in his hand.-~
He then gave him second, which filled the
other; and choosing third remarkable for its
size and beauty, be presented that also. The
child, after many Intellectual attempts to hold
the three apples, dropped the last upon the car
pet and burst into tears.
sSee," said Franklin, "there is little man
with more riches than he can enjoy"

A BRIGHT WrTNEss.-A witness, q jolly,
plump old lady, in the Supreme Court at Wor-
cester, Mass, on Thursday, was asked what time
certain train of cars passed her house. She
replied that she commenced knitting at o'clock,
and had knit twice around the leg of stocking
before they came along. The next question was
of course, how long it would take to knit twice
around. The Judge here, in his usual quiet hu-
NOR, suggested that that would depend upon the
size of the stocking. To this the witness re-
marked that the stocking was for herself, and
that they could exercise their own judgment as
to the size and guess how long it would take.

POETRY.

Contentment in Obscurtty.
Happy the man who unobserved
Can pass through life,
In some obscure retreat preserved
From worldly strife,
Contented with lowly state,
Nor envious of the rich and great.
The glittering paths that temptthe crowd
To weary toll,
Lead but to realms.of storm and cloud,
And barren soil
The proudest heights to which men rise'
Still leave them far beneath the skies.
While others strive for fame or power,
Or sordid gain,
Or catch the pleasures of an hour, :
Fleeting and vain;
Be mine the nobler, better party
The care and culture of the heart
Not that I seek to spend my days
In passive ease,
Intent alone to find new ways
Myself TO please;
For the one talent as for ten,
A reckoning will be made with men.
Wide is the scope of charity,
Well understood;
And all may share the luxury
Of doing good;
A kindly word is often priced,
When costly gifts would be despised.
The choicest blessings earth can show,
Health, Friendship, Love,
And Faith. that links the heart below
To Christ above
These free and priceless gifts of Heaven,
To poor and rich alike are given. J.M.
