A QUAKER WEDDING.

Few indeed have had the privilege of witness
ing Quaker wedding. To most of our readers
the following description will prove revelation j
Beneath the mirror in front parlor, sofa had
been placed for the bride and groom, and upon
either 1e were chairs for the best man and woman.
The friends and relatives being assembled, the best
man and woman entered the back-parlor, followed
by the bridal pair They walked the entire length
of the parlors, and amid profound silence took
the seats designed for them. For about five min
utcs, during which a silent prayer is supposed to
have been offered, no one spoke or moved. The
bride sat like statue, with downcast eyes, but
bushing pcrccptiby. The whole scene appeared
more like Il tablcau than an ordinary wedding cere-
mony After enduring the silence as long as SEEM
ed desirable, the bridegroom and bride arose, ia
king each other by the right hand. when the bride.
groom said
In the presence of the Lord and these people,
| take thee, Amy, to be my wife, promising, by
divine assistance, to be unto thee a loving and
faithful husband until death doth part us.
Then Amy spid the same words to Eugene,
stumbling little at the word Husband" At the
conclusion of this part of the ceremony the COM
pany was again seated and silence rcigned pro-
found The bride was dressed after the ordinary
fashion, in white cashmere, and train, trimmed
with white satin, pompadour waist lace under
waist, vail orange flowers, etc, etc.
During the silence succeeding the ceremony, an
Opportunity was offered for any of the friends to
address the couple if the spirit moved, After
waiting some time a quiet motherly looking lady
made the following ejaculation:
''rhis is indeed Il very solemn ceremony, and we
all need the Divine assistance in living up to its
requirements.
Another period Of silence, and the bride groom

man and woman did the same thing.
At this stage Of the proceedings the best man,
with an assistant, brought small table into the
room, upon which was marriage certificate in the
shape of scroll, pen and inkstand, and placed
it in front of the bridegroom. He signed his
name to the contract, and then the bride assumed
for the first time the name of her husband. I'm
mediately after the signatures had been affixed to
the document, gentleman took the certificate and
read it aloud to the company.
The contract having been signed and read, it
was now taken to the back,parlor, where it remain
ed throughout the evening, during which time the
signatures of all who witnessed the marriage were
affixed. The people now pressed toward the new
Unmarried pair, the nearest relatives going first
and others following in their appropriate order.
As the fncfes and elderly gentlemen relatives kiss
ed the bride, they slipped ffty-dollar bill into
her hand as part payment for the kiss! I'm
mediately after the congratulations, the dining
room was thrown open, and the wedding-supper
announced. This was much like that at any other
wedding, only the bridal cake was not cut.
The whole ceremony consumed about one hour
Between fifty and sixty signatures of the relatives
of the bride and bridegroom were appended to the
parchment This is good custom, and serves to
call to mind each one present at the wedding. 1t
is little curious that the marriage certificate has
to be procured in Philadelphia. 1t is afforded at
the reasonable price f$5. A new gold pen and
case is always purchased for the signing of the
contract This may be presented by the husband
to his wife,
Before the final performance Of the ceremony,
several rehearsals are gone through in private.
The friends receive presents like other people,
but no cards are issued. Besides the usual pre-
sents of silver-ware, Jewels laces, etc. they give
household goods, such as blankets, counterpanes,
linen, etc. These are displayed with the rest

receive any additional burden OF taxation from the
experiment. On the other hand the State will
gain by all improvements made on the land-by in
creasing value Of property and production, and by
the steady rise in value Of real estate.
That capitalists believe in the project is proved
by the fact of active inquiry in the New York Stock
market for these Agricultural Bonds. While some
men have stood sneering the present State Ad-
ministration has raised South Carolina State bonds
from 81 to 10 cents on the dollar, with steady
advance.
THE COMMISSIONERS s FEES.
We then called the Commissioner attention to
his own immediate participation in the speculation,
and read to him paragraph that has been going
the rounds of the press, in reference to hi fees in
the matter.
He admitted that the position was one in which
q great deal of money could be made dishonesty,
but very emphatically asserted that he intended to
act squarely. Said he:
'The fees of the Land Commissioner are payable
when the title of the lands is transferred from the
State to the purchaser. The Commissioner must
examine the land and superntend its purchase
subdivision aud sale-must attend to the annual
payment of interest and instalments on the prnci-
pal-for FIVE years and receive therefor not to ex-
ceed ten dollars for each title issued. That this is
extravagant compensation for such responsibility
and care through term of five years. few will as.
sert. But ifit be extravagant, the Advisory Board
has full power to fix it at five dollars, or three OF
one dollar, if they choose. The clamor on this
point is inconsiderate and totally unfounded.
THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE WORK.
"When does the Commission propose to 60 to
work7" we asked. Said Mr. Leslie: 81 am al
ready at work, gathering information and search
ing for lands, which are at once cheap and suitable.
The operations for This year viii be commenced
and concluded in abundant time for the crops Of
next season. In performing the responsible duties
of my Office, shall endeavor to act with the same
independence, impartiality and fidelity which l
have tried to exhibit in my public duties in the
Senate"
Upon the whole, this great political machine,
when viewed from Republican standpoint is a
good thing for the State. Administered as it is
proposed by Mr.. Leslie, it cannot fail to benefit
the poor of the State. Whether its benefits will
be extended to the white man-in other words,
the Democrat at-remains to be seen. We can only
await the developments of the future. In his con.
versaton the irrepressible Senator was very vehe,
ment, and reiterated the assertion that he intend
ed to act squarely in the matter. We give his
statements for what they may be worth. Time
will prove whether the Land Commission will make
South Carolina ''an Illinois or an Eastern Pennsyl-
vania".
