The long talked-of marriage be-
tween Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.,
and Miss Alice Gwynne, took place in
New York last week. The train of the
bridesmaids dresses were so long that
one couple had to wait at the door until
the other had gone some distance up
the aisle. The bride wore an elegant
white satin, with point lace peplums,
and tulIe veil. The bridesmaids, five
in number, wore white tarletan, with
very long trains. The hair was dressed
very high, aud ornamented with a
wreath OF white morning glories, with
green leaves, which went once around
the chignOn and hung below the waist.
They were imported from Paris, for the
occasion, as was also the entire bridal
.trouSsedu, which was very handsome.
The reception was a very brilliant af-
fair. Mr.. William H led the Seer

figure. The brides presents were
many, and very costly and elegant.

the Speaker caught the virago in his
arms, and held her there until she went

After her departure, the House passed
resolution that the body recommend
to the press the impropriety of making
public the unhappy incident, as a mat

Richmond papers never mentioned the
circumstance, and only recently was
the story told by reconstructed men,

The French Imperial family went
on skating excursion to the lake OF
the Bois de Soulogne the other day.
The Prince came first in his carriage,
then the Empress, and last the Em-
peror. They enjoyed the skating for
two long hours. While the Empress
was admired for the grace and skill she
displayed, the Emperor was admired
for the good state of his health, On
leaving the ponds, he suggested new
means how to level the lake and polish
it like mirror, by applying to it the
steam of the fire engines. They have
since been at work, and the Emperor
has surprised the philosophical section
of the Academy by the ingenious pro-
cess he had suggested. .sF
