PeriIs of Marrying Prince.

The ex-Kiug of Naples proclamation,
dated Farnese Palace, Rome, and de-
claring the marriage of Miss Hamel and
Prince Lous null and void, seems com
edy, but not, however, SO far as Miss
Hamel is concerned. Her position here
is considered extremely precarious. All
civil and ecclesiastical courts on the con-
tinent will hold her marriage null and
void. The Emperor of Brazil and Prince
Aquila declare it void, and that they will
not be responsible for one cent OF Prince
Louis debts. Whenever he tires of Miss
Hsmel and exile from Earope, he knows
he has but to cast off Miss Hamel and re-
turn to Enrope, and she can advance no
claims upon him which will be sustained
by any authority on the continent. Miss
Hameps history will be like that of Miss
PattersoH, of B4ltimore, who married
Prince Jerome Bonaparte. Prince Louis
family are active in taking measures to
break the marriage, and to ruin his for

A singular wedding.

The Belvidere IN. j Apollo says q
wedding under extraordinary circum-
stances occurred in that place on Wed.
nesday. On Tuesday, the father of the
bridegroom, q wealthy and respected cit
izen Of Poughkeepsie, died and was duly
shrouded in the garments of death, the
body placed in a rich and costly coffin,
the whole being placed in the parlor of
his late residence. On Wednesday, at II
M, few witnesses being present, the son
of the deceased led his affianced bride
into the room where lay the body Of his
father, the bridal party walking solemnly
up to the coffin, when the cover on the
face of the corpse was removed. The
Rev. Mr.. Hsgemain, of the Second Re-
formed Church, then, amid breathless
silence au1 by the open coffiu, joined the
young couple in the holy bonds of matri-
mony. The bridegroom, when asked why
he was married in such a manner, re-
Piled that the spirit of his father lowered
about him, telling him to get married
there apd then. The affair has caused
profound sensation.

Iun Vessels Wrecked.

The telegraph has already reported
the wreck of two Quebec traders, the
Margaret, Captain Allen, Of Aberdeen,
from Sunderland, with o cargo of Goals
and coke, and the bark Zslus, Captain
Burn, of Leith, and hailipg from Hull,
laden with coal. Both vessels struck on
Caribbean reef, fifteen miles northeast Of
Cape des Monts, during hurricane on
the morning of Sunday, the l6ih instant,
and went to pieces within two hours,
and, sad to relate, the crew of both ves-
sells persisted, with the exception of Mr..
Jsmes Donald, mate ofthe Margaret, who
succeeded in saving himself, and arrived
at Quebec on board the schooner Mary,
Star of the Sea. A telegraph dispatch
from Quebec gives Mr. Donald's account
of the wreck: "0u Saturday night we
were running with q strong wind from
the 4. N, z. at the rate of seven miles
an hour. We had q strong sea. but did
not feel it much, as we we're running
before it. At am. on Sunday, the bark
Zelus came within hailing distance under
some sail and steering the same course.
She gradually went ahead of Us, as she
sailed faster; but when she got three or
four times her own length ahead, she was
on the rocks. 1t being at the time very
thick and raining, the consequence was.
the next minute we were on the rocks
also, with the sea making a clear breach
over us. As we we're the last to break up,

was scarcely half an hour on the rocks
when the main and mizzen masis went

breaking mountaiR high, and she went to

The Rockford (Illinois) Register, re-
ferring to Mrs. Dixon, who shot her hus-
band dead in that city few days since,
Gays that at the time she fred the fatal
shot, she was sitting behind him, and so
near that the muzzle of the pistol almost
touched his back. After she fired, and
the pistol was wrenched from her by her
victim, she fell back unconscious, and
has remained in that condition during
most of the time that since elapsed. In
her intervals of consciousness she seems
to have no recollection of what has hap
pened, but appears to be looking forward
with dread TO the interview with her hus-
band. She calls for her babe frequently,
even while it is lying on her arms, and
seems to fear some one is coming to take
il from her. The day she committed the
deed was the first she had risen from her
bed since her confinement

a brave md Noble BOY.

The New York San gives a brief chapter
in the "Heroism Of Humble Life" and az
pends ths following touching illustration
Perhaps the finest Of these modern in-
stances occurred two weeks ago on board AZ
English steamer A little ragged boy aged
about Bine years, was discovered on the
fourth day "A tbe outward voyage from Liv

SCIENTIFIC NEWS.

IMITATION MARBLE.-It can not be gain
said that a quality Of imltauon-marbe, OF
"Hslienenstein," as it is sometimes called
by the Germans, is now being produced in
the arts, which, 10 comparison to native
marble, comes up very nearly 70 the highest
point in the way OF perfection. Indeed. n
the old Roman times the most beautiful
structures were ornamented in their interi-
or parts with pieces Of marble which con-
sisted commonly Of sand, lime, and gypsum.
and which even yet exists. But ia order
the more to perfect thil ert, IL was necessa-
ry that one OF the many secrets 0f nature
should be won from her keeping. Some
two years ago manufacturer in Cassel, of
the name OF Thiel, succeeded in producing
an artificial stone, known under the above
name, which is said to exceed IA Its excel
lences any that have been made heretofore.
Is Ia prepared BY means Of chemle0physieaI
methods, which are known only 10 the dis
coverer ana a few manufacturers. The
writer of an article in the PoAgtechnisEes
.Nosisbldtt, TO whom we, are indebted for
Lhese facts, states that IN one manufactory
large four-cofnered slabs are made. having
. length Of ten feet, widsh OF ave feet. and
thickness Of enc foot After one dav Of
drJing. under the influence Of an ordinary
temperature, these slabs are cut into small
er Ones out Of which plates of slabs Far
the tops VI wash stands, tables, mantsls,
ETC., are manufactured. But above an else,
however, this material Is adapted to build
ing and decorative purposes. 1t is stated ,
moreover, that the castle In Brunswick. 4.

fire not long ago, 10 10 be ornamensei with
this imitation marble. ss also the new music
hall in Hamburg. Besides these uses, vsry
