For the benefit of those of our frie. l. 1a reed
crs that delight in the glittering follic and itG
cies occurring in fashionable life, we giy2 aa.ow
some extracts from the New York papers IA r'-
gard to the wedding of Miss Bartlett ard tha
wealthy Cuban Don Estaban Santa Cruz De Owl
edo In point Of style, elegance and eSpensa, no
thing has hitherto occurred in an ywise approoch-
ing it, The splendor Oh its appointment havc
been almost Of regal style and magniiic"uc2
Anxious, intriguing mothers who have daughters
still on hand-nere ornamental fixtures Cor 'e
parlor and the promenade or daughter in lho
''sere and yellow fast approaching that miaar-
able noint in q woman's life, when 'o'.1.-
comes to woo, - look with eager, gluttorols e~'s
upon every foreigner that halls from the sunny
isles of the sea. But Don Estaban de Ovi n, is
n godsend, a miraculous s-interposition, a tl, 1
of Danaen gold; in fact, such another wi unt
happen in hundred years; and mothers and
daughters may watch and wait until their 10
is wbtened and their checks corrugated a,Ja
age for such another chance. What a bus lui
world would this be, if there was constant sue
cession of pleasant and happy scenes, with NJ
dreary intcrregnum of dulness, coldness and po.
stive unhappiness How pleasant to sc always
happy
/ The Upper-tens Of New York are unmercitull7
ridiculed about this wedding, so much vulga
curiosity, sucha prurient itching to pry into dc
mestic matters, such an entire forgetfulncss o
the dignifed "Nil admirari," such an overween
! ing desire to go forth and do likewise that tht
aristocracy, go called, of New York is lampoonea
satirised and openly ridiculed by the very papers
that depend partly on such people for a living
We shall soon see the whole affair carricatured,
and rich thing 1t will be. 1t is public proper
ty now-their splcndor, their -extravaglnce were
carefully paraded before the pubic--the sanctity
of privacy was totally eschewed, and policemen
We're stationed at the church doors to keep order
When will such another aGair happen, where
people like crowds in museum, Were shown til,
rare and curious bridal presents and then pushed
along nv the jam and cram of Others into the
/ Sale a nianger and fed like sheep anG then put
out and told to go home. Let the New York
/ papers speak for themselves and for those who
wish to pattern after them. We give the cards
