1t is an unhappy omen for a wedding to be

In Sweden it is believed much las VIII en-

bis wedding morn. 1t is bad s.n if The
bride fails to shed tears ON the Ia py day,

many steps before gaining the c'ssrch door,

according to north country il ..5rs, it is
courting misfortune to marry in green, or
while there is an open grave in tlie church
yard, or to 60 in at one door and out at an
other. The weather, too, has a good or bad
influence upon affairs; happy is the bride
that the sun shines on, and, of course, tine
reverse is equally true. Where the Scottish
custom is followed of the newly welded
couple being welcomed home by the bus-
bands mother meeting them at the door, and
the breaking of crrrant bun over the head
of the bride before her foot crosses the TIRES
hold, it is thought very lad omen if the
bun is broken over any head but that to
which the honor is due. If a bridal party
ventures off dry land, they must 60 up
stream; should they be fool-hardy enough to
60 down the water, either the bride, the
groom, or one Of the bridesmaids will infalli-
bly, feed the fishes. Spite of the faith of
there being luck in odd numbers, it is a be-
lief in the North of England that one Of the
wedding guests will die within ayear, unless
the party counts even.

encourage adventure in the great lottery OF
life are the meeting of wolf or spider on

was read three times by its title in the

ported to the Senate this morning, and
under suspension of the rules was read
three times by title and passed. 1t was
never read in either house. 1t is more
oppressive than the present law. The

A Scene of Tumuf i'm the Assembly.

proposed law for the organization of
volunteers, which was adopted. Under
its terms every department of France is
to send to Versailles Immediately battal-
ion sof troops for the support of tine
Government. A proposition for the ap-
pointment of committee of fifteen mem
bers of the Assembly to proceed to Paris
and assist in restoring order, was favora-
bly, considered. Several Mayors of arron-
easements in Paris, compelled to find
safety in flight from the city, were invited
to take seats in the Assembly. AS they
entered the chamber there was great ap-
plause from the deputies of the left while
those of the right protested against the
action of the body. A scene of tumult
ensued, and lasted till adjournment.

Cuba and Porto Rico ON the Eve of
Revolt.
HAVANA, March 29-via Key West
News from Porto Rico by the Spanish
steamer confirms the report of agi-
tated state of affairs in that Island. The
Radical party (Creole) and Conservative
(Spaniards) are not only waging war of
races but the latter threaten recourse to
arms. There is much discomfort with
the new King, and events of the past few
days show that Spain is in greater dan
ger than ever of losing her remaining
American colonies. 1t is rumored in
Cuban circles that Gen. Quesada has
landed an expedition successfully in the
vicinity of Trinidad.
A very inflammatory manifesto has
been issued and it is evident the feeling
existing between the two parties is of the
most bitter character. The action of the
home Government in removing officers
has excited the indignation of those IN
Havana who desire to run the Govern
ment of the Islsnd of Cuba and they
have sent dispatch 10 Madrid asking
that the removed officers be reinstated.
Should the reply be unfsvorable it is said
the authority of King Amadeus will be
quietly ignored.

The Nashville Presbytery of the Cum

night at u o'clock in the Mulberry Street
Church. The attendance was large, espe-
cislly with the eldership.
The opening sermon was preached by
Rev. I. G. Blake, D. D., the retiring Mod
orator, from 1st Corinthians, 1st chapter
21st verse.
The Doctor preached profound and in
eresting sermon, ably setting forth the
necessity of the Christian ministry. We
regret that the lateness of the hour pre-
vents us from giving in detail his excel
lent sermon.
After the sermon Rev. J. L. Alexander
of Rural Hill, was elected Moderator,

Clerk. After which the Pfesbytery ad-
journed until 81 o'clock this morning

CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE,

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The House
resolution for the final adjournment Of
that body with the concurrence of the
Senate was tabled viva voce.
Summer, Raytf, Grant.
Mr.. Sumner had read his resolutions
against the course of the President to-
wards Hayti in the San Domingo matter.
Unanimously ordered printed. Mr.. Sum,
ner gave notice of bis intention to move
the resolutions as an amendment to the
report of the Ku-Klux Committee, and
make speech on the San Domingo ques-
ton.
Narrowing Tales OF Destitution.
The deficiency appropriation bill was
taken up.
Mr.. Sumner moved TO appropriate
$l2, 900 to the aged colored poor of the
District of Columbia, and $1,000 worth
of clothing.
Mr.. Thurman thought it singular that
appropriations were invariably made prior
to elections in the District. The story of
destitution would not be believed by those
who had noticed on Sundays and gala
days the crowds of colored people on the
Avenue, arrayed in purple and fine linen,
with their gold spectscles and gold-headed
canes. THESE colored ladies and gentle
men might often be seen driven around
in carriages by white men, and had every
appearance of being in the height of
prosperity.
Mr.. Logan referred to distribution
of Congressional aims, of which he was
an eye witness. He saw men receiving
rstions more able bodied than himself.
While he was without any protection
from the weather, some of these recip-
tents of public charity sported umbrellas
over their heads. If the people of Wash
ingtol, instead of spending $50, 1000 in
inauguratiDg the old Papist ceremony of
people in Ku-Klux garb, had
applied the same amount to relieve the
alleged destitution, it would have been
better use of their money.
The amendment was amended to make
no distiction of color and adopted with
provision requiring the distribution of the
appropriation under the direction of an
officer to be detailed by the Secretary of |
War, and upon recommendation of the
managers of the Poor Association, Freed
mems Institution, and the Industrial
Home School
Without disposing of the bill the Senate
lfter brief executive session, adjourned
ill tomorrow.

Ahead of the Mails.

The expeditions and safe method of
transportation afforded iby the express
companies, for packages, ETC., from point
to point make them invaluable institutions
to the country. Last week there were
boxes and parcels placed in charge of the
Adams Express Company at this place for
parties beyond Lexington, Ky, and at the
same time letters were written notifying
the parties that they had been forwarded.
The boxes and parcels reached their desti-
nation safely in less than thirty hours, ar
riving before the letters stating that they
had been shipped. This is what might be
slled Thatcher's lightning line.
