A JEWISH wrDDIso.-A London CORE,

JEWISH mEDDING'-A LONDON cores
pondent says:
On Wednesday evening last, occurred the
most magnificent Hebrew. weddias which
has taken place for many years. 1t was The
marriage Of q Rothschild, and took place at
the splendid residence of the Baron at Hyde
Park corner. The bride was Miss Evelina
de Rothschild, the Baron's second daughter,
and the bridegroom WAS Baron Ferdinand,
son of Baron Anselm de Rothschnd, of Paris.
Great banks of flowers were arranged about
the marble pillars and were wreathed around
thesuperb balustrades. Thewalls were draped
with white lace starred with roses. The Ia
bles groqped under the magnificent viands,
and the gold tankards, epergnes and dishes.
The festivities lasted from five OF. the after
noon to FIVE of the morning: BY law Of
England, marriage ceremonies must, to be
genuine, occur before IL NJ. of the day. This
law was arranged to prevent hasty and i'll.
considered matches made after dinners or
balls, the parties being supposed to be cooler
in the morning. By paying fifty pounds
however, q license may be got to get married
OF any heur. This marriage occurred about
six o'clock. Under the great velvet canopy
the finely nrrayed pair were welded. There
were fourteen maids of honor, dressed in !
pink and while. The bride was beautiful in
her white lsce dress. Her mother envelop-
ed her completely before the company in a
rich veil: All the gentlemen wore their
hats: The young Baron, placing the ring
on his BRIDES finger, said "Bshold, thou
art betrothed u2to me with this ring, accor- J.
ding to the rites of Moses and of Israel" The
two then drank from one glass Of wine; the
glass was then set on tho Hoor and crushed
to pieces by the bride-grooms's foot--thetwo
being as indissolubly joined as the glass was.
sundered. D'lsrtrsli made q

The Profane Village.

One morning mes another man, -.
And asked, "What town is this ahead ?"
To which tho other briefly said,
y ,t'You be damn'":
On. strobe the traveller, some surprised,
But tkat the man was drunk suimised;y.
, For, who, unless o little high.
To civil questions would reply, =
"You be damu"
While thus his cogitations ran, -
He overlook another man;t4
And him be. questioned as before, Z
Receiving this reply--no more,
"You be DAMN

But seeing just ahead third
Asked him the self same thing at oncc, a
Receiving but the same response,
"You-be damn w
Astonishment upon him grew
A stranger thing ho mover knew:
Half angry, half-ho scarce know what
A fourth inquiry oniy brought -
"You be damn r'
"Is,some asylum here about?
Aud have the lunatics got oat? :.
And is their mania all the same%
Thought be, that all Of them e1claim,
.You bo dauny"
And then he felt his wrath grcw lot; y.
"Thero1lbc be fight upon thospot;
If any other man,@ quoth he
Shall insOlontly say to me,
'You be DAMN"
He almost feaehed the village, whom
He met s;alwart citizen,
And asked what town before him lay,
The other answered, right away,
"You be damn"
The trsveler straightway pulled hi, coat,
And took the other by the throat:
" You scoundrel" hoarsely uttered hO, =
"I'lrteacb you not to say to me,
You be dnmnv"
Of course there was an instant fight,
Till both were in horrid plight;
And fast and furious fell the blows,
And oft tho battle cry arose 49,
"You bo damn" -
Thus fighting, near the river size,
They rolled into its muddy tide;
Then,partfng, scrambled to tho shore,
And shrickcd, above tho mill wheels roar,
- "You lie damn"
Beside the mill maiden stood:
The traveller, drenchcd in gore aud mud,
Inquired what aamo they gave the placer
The maid replied, NTH timi7 grace,

"Good heavens: I" he cried Gam I but

And here is the petition in full:
ApEr1TIoN FOR USIvERsAL SUFFRAGE.
To the Senate and House of Represents
..a tiyoss: -
States, respectfully asE an. iendhs1t0f LIE
Constitution, that shall prohibit the several
States from dislranchisng any of their citi-
zens on the ground of sex. In making our
demand for suffrage, we, would call your at.
tention to the fact that we represent fifteen
millions of people-one.halt the entire popu-
lation Of the country-intelligent, Sirtuous,
native-born American citizens; and yet we
are the. only class who stand outside the pale
of political recognition.
'fThe Constitution classes us as slree peo-
ple,' and counts US whole persons in the ba-
sis of representation and yet we arc govern
ed without our consent, compelled to pay
taxes without appeal, and punished for vio-
lativns of law, without choice of Judge or
juror. The experience of all ages, the De-
clarations Of the Fathers, the statute laws of
our own day, and the fearful revolution
through which we have just passed, all prove
the uncertain tenure of life, liberty and prop
erty, so long as the ballot-the only weapon
of selfproteetion-is not in the hand of every
citizen.
Therefore, MS you are now amending the
Constitution, and, in harmony with advanc-
ing civilization, placing newsafe guards round
the individual rights Of four millions of eman
cipated slaves, We ask that you extend the
right of suffrage to. women-the only remain.
ing class Of disfranchised citizens-and thus
fulfill your constitutional obligation to guar
antee to every State in the Union ,republi
can form of government
"As all partial application of republican
principles must ever breed a complicated
as well as disconteuted people, |
we would pray your honorable body, in or
der to simplify the machinery of government,
and insure domestic tranquility, that you
legislate hereafter for persona, citizens, tax.
payers, and not for class or caste.
"For justice and equality Jour petitioners
will ever pray"

REMARKS OF MIR. KING,
OF LENOIR,


On the proposed amendment, requiring tic6
gears precious tares to be paid before a coter
shall be qualified to cote, dc.
MR.. PRESIDENT: I trust, Sir, that the
proposed amendment will not be adopted.
What, Mr.. President, would be the effect of
this amendment to the Constitution 1t
would be, Sir, to disfranchise and exclude
from the ballot-box many poor and disabled
voters that have heretofore exercised the
privilege of voting. This amendment would
be impracticable, as we'll as unjust and in
furious to large portion of our people. Is
it contemplated, Mr.. President, by the sup
porters of this proposition to exclude the
poor and insolvent voters from the ballot
box? Such would certainly be the practical
effect of this amendment if adopted. Ihope,
Sir, it will be rejected; let the Constitution
remain as it now stands in relation to the
qualification of voters.
1t now, Mr.. President, only requires a
public tax to qualify voter the first time
he votes, but does not require any tax there
after. It is certainly right for all to pay
their taxes that are able to pay /; but, Sir, do
not exclude from voting on that account
Let the revenue laws be executed, and let all
who are able to pay be required to do so
but do not exclude from voting on account
of the failure to pay taxes this would ex-
clude the poor and insolvent voter, as we'll
as those that were able to pay.

This is the result of a loyal, State govern

hands, and capital and labor are pouring into
the State, to develope her resources and to
restore her to her former prosperity. A
similar result would be realized in North
Carolina, if she could once be placed on the
same loyal basis with Tennessee.
