.. THE WEDDING DAY.
Next Tuesday, the 10th inst, will be . famous
holiday in London, and the ngurAtlve morning
dream Of Great britain, that beats around the
world, will vibrAte with the "wedding march,
Albert Edward, Prince Of Wales, that pleaSant
young gentleman who was here two or three years
Hlnee rolling tenpins with Miss Lane at the board
| ing school alley, is TO wed "Her Royal Highneas
Princess Alexandra Caroline Maria Charlotte Lou
lisa Julia" Of Denmark. While the names Of the
bride-elect are equal in number TO those Of the
wives OF Mormon elder, she is said to be very
pretty, unAssuming person, and the bridegroom's
widowed mother has pledged her qneenly faith 10
pay her daughterin-lAw $50 900 per Annum for PIN
money, with dowry OF $500 per Rnnum In case
Albert Edward should die FIRST. Not bad match
for Miss A. c. M. C. L. j. Isiti
WEDDING FEsTIvITIEs. '
The British here has oflate been quiet dl-
plomatic observanees having been forced into Abey-
ance by the domestic sorrowA OF Queen Victoria.
But now that the Prince Of Wales Is fairly enter
ing upon his manhood, and ls about to assume a
portion Of the Official duties so graciously per
formed BY his deceased father, Lord Lyons should
celebrate it in true British style.
OF course, every loyal subject Of Her Majesty
will sport a rosette OF white ribbon on Tuesday,
and thus testify their affection for their future
King. Nay, why cannot we all pledge 'health and
happiness" to the young couple. The condition
OF the British people is not with all Its ranks and
gradations, what it might be; yet we ofths United
States may well envy and admire the loyalty, the
selreliance the respect for law and ORDER and the
contempt for snobs and swindlers that Animates
the great mass Of British society. YiVdi RegirGi
BoHEMIANs.
A Boston editor intimRtes that when newA is
scarce here, the Bohemians invent it, Not at all.
| A true Bohemian never needs to exercise his pow
ers of invention, for his facility Of composition
enables him TO write about anything. He takes up
any subject, any tribe the latest fashions, the
last general order, and envelopes II in sort Of
sparkling misti plays about It with the exquisite
ponteness Of the olden school Of French writers;
elevAtes II into a sort Of importance; hints at all
the wonderful or clever things that might be said
about IT. draws all eyes upon It; and when 1t is
sufficiently notorious there suddenly glauees
through all that mist Of apparent verbiage, but
really Of artful treatment, one keen, trenchant
phrase which goes TO the very heart Of the matter
for good or tor evil. But the genuine Bohemian
never iRUeHts. There Is lack OF mental food all
around, In readiness to be cookedup.

u CHURCH MUSIC.
The young ladies who sing In one Of the bes

minds to give public concert. Indeed do hop
that they will, for we have no modern music equa
