Peep at the Newest wedding TrOs-
sean.
FFOHI the NeU York Gazette Of AI1ril 10.
We had Il peep last week at tros-
seau which has just arrived from Paris
and belongs to young lady up town
who is to be married next week. This
trOsseau arrived in two large packing
cases, and when the contents were
taken out and arranged around the
rooms, one was reminded OF an open
ing day at some large bazaar. Every
thing was there that II lady could posi-
bly, wish for, from elegant dresses and
laCes to boots and gloves. Perhaps the
most admirable were hounce, II vail,
IL handkerchief, "A pNrasOl cover and a
fan, all of superb pattern-lace. They
are moreover of the same pattern, and
therefore probably made to order.
The lingerie was very beautiful, con-
Sisting of the finest linen and most
elaborate embroidery and lace. Among
other things we noticed some very pret-
ty loose jackets and sacks, for summer
wear, of white Swiss muslin trimmed
with lace, and others of cluny and lace;
collars of every description and shape
trimmed with lace and embroidery; the
sleeves being made in the most elabor-
ate manner, some beautifully embroid-
cred and others made of muslin putfed
with Valenciennes lace between,
through which was run colOred ribbons.
Next came the wedding dress, which
was of superb white satin trimmed
with 1ounce OF lace headed with
orange blossoms, which added very
much to the effect of the dress. The
waist was cut low aud trimmed with a
berthe of lace and orange flowers.
a very beautiful evening dress was of
white Grape bOuiLone to the knees, the
putting being divided by rOuLeaMr of
crimson satin. runic of Grape divided
lengthwise by low satin bands, low
body trimmed to match the skirt. A
beautiful carriage dress was of blue
corded silk, trimmed up each seam OF
the skirt with II wide white satin cord;
the round waist made with long pep
lum points trimmed with folds of bias
white satin. and heavy white silk
fringe. A pretty house dress was OF
violet silk trimmed with black guipure;
another was of heavy black silk, Trim
med with blue silk and jet fringe. A
morning dress OF white merinO was
very pretty and tasty, being trimmed
with bright cherry color; sleeves large
and loose and lined with the same
color.
Besides these were cloaks, sacQues,
shawls, basquines, waists, fancy jack
cts, parasOls, scarls and shoes, two
boxes OF kid gloves, four bonnets, three
fans, three pdrasOls, and two ronnd
hats. 1t seems to be rather IA foolish
custom, this getting such an enormous
amount of clothing for a bride. Ladies
do not seem to remember that the fash
ion changes constantly, even in little
things, such as wells, jewelry, collars,
and lingerie of all kinds;
so that before they have half worn out
the large stock they have on hand, they
have become Old-fashioned and yellow
only fit for rags or house-cloths.
The Last Hours of the Ohio I,eSisIa.
ture.
Press.
AS the time fixed for a final adjourn
ment arrives, the members break out
like schOOl-bOys on a frOlic. The Speak
er in vain attempts to preserve order,
and a: last gives up or joins in. Old
papers are rolled into wads, and pro-
PEELED like shot from side to side. Jests,
more rough and personal than witty,
flew the rounds, and practical jokes
Last night member grave
ly proposed that the Assistant Speaker
should read the Journal. The Assist
ant Speaker with likegravity rolled out,
for nearly thirty minutes, tumble Of
nonsense, full OF amusing hits, that the
House received with roars of laughter.
This was followed by burlesque votes
OF thanks to everybody for everything.
Let us take one scene:
a berlin accordance with a
time-hOnored custom, the members will
now join hands and form a ring round
the hall to dance a solemn war.danCe,
and sing Aud Lang Syne.' (The ring
is formed and the members sing.)
Grand COmmAnder-"Hol on-stop!
Here, Nixon, line out. There are some
members so profoundly ignorant they
don't know the words"
@NixOn-"Certainly."
Shall ancient Tnornwell be forgot,
No Bloom be brought to mind,
shall Encell take the whisky hot
In the days of Aud Lang Syne.
Chorus-oh Landlord fill the flowing bowl,
Until 1t does run oyer,
And tonight we'll merry merry be,
And tonight we'll merry merry be,
Tomorrow weIl hear Glover.

message from the Senate"
Darkey-"Mr. Spekah !" Laughter ]
Speaker-''Sergeant.at-Arms of the
Senate"
Darkey-"I hab de honor to inform
de House dat the constitutional amend
is agreed in" [Roars of laughter in
midst of which the darkey vanishes.l
The Speaker-"Behold man and a
brother"
And so, for two hours or more. the
row goes on, until the clock strikes the
hour of adjournment, and the Speaker
announces the fact. Then
come shaking and earnest farewells-
and so Legislature adjourns.
GETTING a WIFE.-Our beaux and
bellies may be interested to know the
qualifications of good wife, as given
by the great Indian sage Auvra, in high
authority among the devout HiudOo
nations in matrimonial matters. He
says:
The girl must only be third of her
husbands age, not very black, not yell
low complexion, not cripple, not de-
formed, not vicious, nor unhealthy.
