a Milwaukee man was going dowA

A Chinese marriage came off at
Grass Valley, California q few weeks
since. The Lr.tvH thus describes the
youple married: "Tin Ii made his
appearance at the church first and
alone. 1t is not high med for the
bride and groom to be- present to-
gether at the marriage ceremony
He was dressed in dove-colored
blouse, knee breeches, blue stockings,
fancy shoes, and embroidered skull
cap. Tin III having departed from
the church tho bride came up 10 gor-
geous toggery, having her hair act
up in a ridge across the middle of her
head, from front to back, with paste
and large gilded pins, me six inches
high, salee same ROSTERS head as
an irreverent Cinnamon spectator
remarked. Below her head she wore
o frock, hung loosely from her shout
ders, and made of fine silk. This
was looped up under her left arm to
one dollars worth of gold buttons
The bottom of this rig was about q
foot from the ground, and below it
were white stockings and fancy shoes
with soles three inches thick. 1t was
manifest to witness that she was ag-
itated, and that her nerves were any
thing but steady. One American
present thought she was agitated
because it might not agree with her
health to be an honest woman so
suddenly. Another said she was as
pretty as a spotted pup in her dif
tidence. She was. in spite of all re.
marks, put through in proper shape,
according to the notion of Mr.. Wan

of an iceberg surrounded by its bro

more unnatural sight than one of

that has experienced the joys of

that is beautiful in natures scenery

give their children loving hearts,
Bind the family together with these
