GREAT SOCIAL SENSATION.

NV YORK. May 3l.-The marriage Of
Senator VIM. Tweed's daughter to Mr.. Am
brose AcGinnis, leather merchant Of New
Orleans, wa the great social event Of the
DAY in Fifth avenue this afternoon and
evening. Trinity chapel wal over crowded
with the elite of the city, and hundreds
could not gain admittance. The bride
wore a dress composed Of lice entirely,
which cost seven thousand dollars.
Mr.. TwGed's private residence, where the
reception took place, was decorated with
flowers in n manner as no manaion ever
before has been. The whole house wal
rcdolert ofsweetest perfumes. Thorc wore
arehwsys Of flowers, the stair cns.s were
wreathSd and festnoned with smilax and
rose buds, bolls of flowers ovorhunC the
hall, all was f%estoOned, chandeliers, statu.
cites, bronze and pictures. Every where
there were rose buds and smilaI in pro.
fusion. Some idea of the immensely ofthe
decoration may be gained from the fact thai
it not only exhausted the esourcc Of one
vast floral establishment, but they were
compelled to order them from ~neighborine
states. Ten thousand rose buds were but
one Of the items in the account.
The array of presents was gorgeous. A
single set Of necklace, ear rings and breast.
pin was valued at thirty-throe thousand
dollars. The aggregate value Of the pros.
ents is two hundred thousand dallars, ir
solid silver, diamonds and iewelry.

Last Hours Of Mary Stuart.

Her last night was busy one.
As she said herself, there was
much to be done and the time
was short. a few lines to the
King of France were dated two
hours after midnight. They were
to insist for the last time that she
was innocent of the conspiracy,
that she was dying for religion,
and for having asserted her right
TO the crown; and 70 beg that out
OF the sum which he owed her, her
servants wages might be paid and
masses provided for her soul. AT
ter this she slept for three or four
hours. and then rose and with the
most elaborate care prepared to
encounter the end. At s in the
morning the Provost Marshal
Knocked at the outer door which
communicated with her suite of
apartments. 1t was locked and
no one. answered. and he went
back in some trepidatiOn lest the
fears might prove true which had
been entertained the preceding
evening. On his returning with
the Sheriff, however, a few min
utes later, the door was open, and
they were confronted with the
majestic figure of Mary Stuart
standing before them in splendor.
The plain. gray dress had been eX
changed for a robe of black satin;
her jacket was of black satin also,
looped ard slaShed and trimmed
with velvet. Her false hair was
arranged StudiOuSly with a Golf,
and over her head and falling
down over her back was white
veil of delicate lawn. A cruciiix
of gold hung from her neck. In
her hand she held a crucifX OF
ivory, and a number of jewcled
paternoSterS was attached to heI
girdle. G@. .#....
Led by two OF Paulet's gentle
men, the Sheriff walking before
her, she passed to the chamber o.
presence in which she had beel
tried, where Shrewsbury, Kent
Paulet, Drury and others were
waiting to receive her. Andrew
Melville. Sir Roberts brother
who had been master Of her house

''Melville," she said, "you shoult

and so, good Melville, farewell.
She kissed him, and turning, ask

He was not present. There haC
been a fear of some religious melC
drama which it was thought wei
to avoid. Her ladies, who hat
attempted TO follow her, had beel
