A NOTABLE WEDDING.
The Marriage OF Jerome Napoleon Bona
parte 20 n Granddaughter OF Daniel
Webster In New port,

OF the marriage of Jerome Napoleon
Bonaparte to Mrs. Caroline LIE Roy Edgar,
of Boston, in st. Mary's (Catholic) Church,
Newport, r. l., on Thursday morning,
correspondent Of the Boston Transcript
writes as follows:
The wedding was quiet one, and the
bride was attired in a travelling dress. No
reception was held here, and the parties
left for Boston by the noon train. The
church was filled with spectators, though
the wedding party was small. The guests
were attired in mourning toilettes, without
any attempt whatever at display.
Mr.. Bonaparte is the grandson of Nine.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, and granddaughter
of Napoleon l. He was born in this coun-
try in 1882, graduated at West Point, and
entered the French army, where he won
for himself much honor. AT the seige of
Sebastopol, he received a decoration from
the Sultan for gallant and meritorious con-
| duct. His appearance is handsome and
martial, and his physique very fine. His
face has something of the Napoleonic cast,
and he is said to possess fine abilities,
amiable manners and disposition which
gains him friends always. He is now forty
years of age, and his destiny at present is
a mere matter of speculation, BY the laws
of the Catholic Church, he is, in case of
the death of the Prince Imperial, heir to
the throne of France, should the family
again come into power. The church never
declared the marriage of Jerome Bonaparte
to Miss Patterson null and void, and Nine.
Patterson-Bonaparte has always prophesied
! that her grandson would eventually oceu
| Ply the throne. But, as | said before, this
! is mere speculation.
Mrs. Edgar, who was Miss Appleton of
Boston, a granddaughter of Daniel Web
| ster, is well known in Boston society. She
| is n lovely type of the American woman,
a pretty, pleasing brunette, with refined
| face and dignified carriage. She has been
| a widow several years, and has owned and
| occupied a handsome summer residence
| here number of seasons. She was attired
in an ashes-of-roses travelling dress, of some
soft material, which draped very grace
fully, and white straw bonnet, trimmed
with black lace and feathers of a tea-rose
shade. She was brought forward to the
altar by her uncle, Mr.. Appleton, of Bos-
| ton, and Miss Julia Armsted, who accom-
panied her as witness. The parties kept
their seats in different parts of the church
during most of the service, and after reach
ing the chancel, they remained kneeling
through all the ceremony.

THE MONT GEMS TUNNEL.

The completion of the Mont Cents Tun-
mel on the 18th inst, is the triumph of one
of the greatest engineering efforts of all
time. The only work at all comparing
with it, is the building of the Suez Canal.
The total expense of the tunnel is 65,000,-
900 francs, of this sum by the original I'M
dertaking. Italy was to pay 20,0O0,0OO
francs. 1t was begun in 1862 and the time
allotted for its completion was twenty
years. Afterwards France agreed to pay
5000 francs more for every year gained
on the stipulated time. As eleven years
have been gained through engineering
skill, France pays $500, 900 francs addition
al. The tunnel is eight miles long and is
cut through at such a depth as to make
shafts impossible. The running of trains
through this tunnel and over the APPS is
an important era in the history of France
and Italy and in the progress of civiliza-

by good judges, that not less than three
thousand people were present.
Had not the weather looked so unfavor-
able, it is thought that twice the number
of schools and people would have come to-

All honor to old Greene the banner

worthy example, in bringing the Sunday

and thus encourage the soldiers in the
Sunday school army in bearing aloft the
Banner of the Cross.

Bazalne's Bad Defense.

From the New York Tribunel
Marshal Bazaine has broken his long
silence by making a speech in defense of
his conduct during the war, before the
Committee of Military Investigation of the
National Assembly. He attributes his fail
ure at Metz mainly to the lack of ammu-
milton. This is the first time that that
excuse has ever been offered. Bazaine
himself never mentioned it in his official
report of the operations Of the army of the
Rhine, and General Coffinieres, the post
commander, has pretty clearly shown that
only the inability to provide against hun
ger was the pretext, if not the direct cause,
Of the surrender of the fortress. On the
night of the 31st of August, 1870 there was
undoubtedly an abundance of ammunition,
for four French corps succeeded in break
ing through the German line, composed
of only one and half corps; but through
bad generalship, those same vanquished
German troops were allowed to rally and
beat the greatly superior forces of the
French back into Metz. An impartial in
vestigation into the matter will convict
Bazaine of at least weakness and indecis-
ion.
