Prospective Marriage of General Tom
Thumb aud Miss LaviniR Warren.


Prospective Marriage of General Tom
Thumb aud Miss LaVinia Warren.
All the thousands of young ladies who
regularly read tho marriage columns of
the papers; all the thousands who have
seen the little Queen of Beauty, Miss
Lavinia Warren, at the Fifth Avenue
St. Nicholas, and the Museum; all those
thousands who are making appointments
TO see her while the opportunity remains
will be interested in the startling news
We are permitted to publish to the world
to day. We heard the visitors al the
Museum, after that ravishing Polka be-
tween Com. Mutt and Miss Warren, say
that Barnum was the happiest and luck
lest man in the world. But Barnum is
a happy man no longer. The jewell
has been sr&tohed from his grasp. And
who in all the universe should be the
gallant knight that could carry off this
this little maiden fair, but the verilabIe
General Tem Thumb. II seems hard at
first glance that he whom Mr.. BnDum
has taken to the Courts of Emperors and
kings and queens and lords, so that he
had kissed we forget how many hundred
thousands OF earlh's most beautiful,
should come back al last to rob Mr.. Bar.
mum Of this bright and brilliant capture
that he has so recently made. Yet it is
truly so, and perhaps Mr.. Barnum ought
TO have expected nothing better, alter
having done so much to teach him eve.
ry art of grace and gallantry.
1t is stated, on good authority, that
General ToE Thunb aud 9i;ss Warren
are betrothod. The General saw her at
the st. Nicholas, was smitteu, was very
devoted in his attention, followed her to
Boston, met her at the, Parker House,
offered his hand, heart and fortune; lol-
lowed her back to this city, and TO the
Filth Avenue, aud ceased not to urge his
srit, it is said, until he was accepted. -
He has now dispatched an agent to his
parents, at Marlborough, MassaChu.
Setts, for their approval. How soon the
nuptials will take place is not decided,
but the General declares that, as his
wife, she cannot be exhibited, as he has
money enough To support them both,
without it, Therefore the conclusion Of
her brief engagement with Mr.. Baruum
will terminate her public career, when
she will retire, 10 enjoy in private life,
as Mrs. Thumb, a competence which
would surround moro protentious per.
sonagos with luxury and pleasure.
Now the question is whether tho Un.
ion of this liiputan couple can bc call
ed a marriage in high life; and another
terrible and momentous inquiry arises;
"will duel take place between Commo
dore Mutt, Ond General ThumbH" The
Commodore declares his intention, If the
worst comes to the worst, to mOintain
his personal honor with no better wOup-
ons then those with which nature has
provided him, and whether tho Commo,
