A WEDDING THAT DID Nor CONE OFF.
Quite an excitement was created among
certain parties on Thursday by the circum.
stances attending the failure of wedding
which was to have taken place, but did not.
1t seems from all that certain young
gentleman has been for the past three ears
paying attentions, with matrimonial de-
signs, to young lady in the eastern por-
ton Of the city, and having at last secured
her consent to union, the night above
mentioned was designated for the copsum
nation of his hopes. All the usual prepa-
rations had been made, and the bride and
her attendants. were all arrayed and ready
for the occasion. The friends and invited
guests had all assembled, when, to the as.
tonishment Of all, the mother OF the bride
groom. elect came forward and forbade the
bans. The bog, she said, was hers; being
not yet q, he was not his own master, and
she would not let 'sthat gal" take him
away from the maternal roof until he was
able to take care Of himself. Astonishment
was depicted upon every countenance,
but as the fond mother had the law in her
hands, there was no gainsaying her word,
and 10 recourse was left but to postpone
the wedding until the groom was old
enough to get married. This was accord
ingly done, and Thursday next, on which
day the groom will be of age, was then Sc
lected as the wedding day. One of the
bridesmaids says, 81 don't beeve in any
sich foolishness as dat. aing gwine spend
any mo- my money for clothes to wait on
dem people," The parties are all colored.

THE GRAND DUKE IN A Bathroom If
any one is curious to learn the etiquette
observed by tho Russian Prince in q ball
room, he can be gratifed by the following
report Of jenkins at the Governor 5
Island entertainment on Saturday:
"The ball was opened by General Nc
Dowell and the Grand Duke, Miss Nellie
Murphy being the first partner selected for
the Prince. The band struck up lively
gllop, and the General, with his partner,
started off in good time. The Prince es-

around before his feet slipped and threw

self. and then with some caution he pro-
cccded in good style. On returning his
partner to her friends she complimeutcd tho
Prince on being good gentleman to dance
with. The Grand Duke, as he appeared on
the ballroom floor after divestins himself OF
hat and long cloak, revealing his princely
head and dark, gold-studded uniform, was
entirely becoming to his high rank. Had
any stranger stepped into the place and
heen asked TO point out the most distin-
guished-lookiug man on tue floor he would
certainly have selected the Grand Duke.
His was the tallest figure there, and his per-
feet Selt-posSessiOn gave him a graceful bear
ing, and there seemed to be harmony in
every gesture. From all that has been seen
Of the Grand Duke Alexis it is evident that
he is not q lady's man. While acting as
escort be is always polite, and occasionally
gay. But he never flrts. AS soon as the
ceremony Of dancing is oyer-for it is little
more than a ceremony for him-he relieves
his partner of his company and goes his
way, leaving her to 90 hers. If he can steal
away he Will walk off alone, get in back

The CHINESE JuGGLKRs OurpoSE- Re-
MAhKABLE PERFORMANCES WITH BROAD
axE.--in Chapel district, TALBOT county,
ma, there resides man named Dill,
whose leats with the broad-axe are aston
lsh,ng: Sometime ago, In the presence of
several gentlemen, he threw his axe some
distance and stuck it In log. Drawinc
out the axe, be told q man present to stick
grain OF corn In the cut, and he would
throw again and split the grain of corn
open. The corn was put to the place he
threw again and split It open. A gentlema
standing by, believing it chance throw.
said he would give him dollar if be could
do 1t again. He threw again, split open
the grain of corn, and pocketed the dol.
lar. A second and third dollar was won In
tho same way. The man with the green
backs, finding that Dill was throwing on q
certainty, drew of. Dill then stuck an
eiyht-penny nail in the end Of log, threw
Mt it, aud drove it up to the head with the
eve of bis axe. This was too much for the
excitable man with the dollars, who said
pll give you another dollar If you can do
that again. The nail was put in place f; Dill
threw, drove it up again, and pocketed the
dollar. The greenback man ventured an-
other dollar and lost. Having lost five dol
lars, he came TO the conclusion that the cx-
pert axcman was too much for him, and let
him slide.
