last evening was the hour appointed for the
marriage of Mr. Peter Horrigan and Miss Ella
Bradley at st. Aloysius church, and at that
time a large company had gathered in the ed
ihce to witness the ceremony. They were
doomed to disappointment, however, as the ex-
pected bridal party failed to put in an appear
ance. At nine o'clock the assemblage reluct-
antly left the church, wondering and asking:
Why Is this thus ?" The parents of the bride,
who reside on f street, near I'd, had, it is said,
ready dressed to accompany her bonnie BRIDE
groom. After an hours impatient waiting word
was brought to her that Peter had left town the
previous evening for Chicago and St Louis

There is nothing more unfavorable to fG-
male beauty than late hours. Women who either
from necessity or choice, spend most of the day
in led, and the night at work or in dissipation,
have always pale, faded, complexion and dark
ly trimmed and wearied eyes. Too much sleep is
almost as hurtful as too little, and is sure to
bloat the person with pallid and unwholesome
fat The diet also has a marked influence upon
personal beauty. Generous living ID favorable
to good looks and it tends 10 fill ont and give
color and sleeknees to tho skin. A gross and
excessive indulgence however, in eating and
drinking is fatal to female charms especially
where there is great tendency to" making flesh. "
Regularity of time in the daily repasts, and
scientific cooking. are the best means of secur-
ing not only good he ,lth but good looks. The
appetite should never be wasted during the in
tervals between meals on pastry, confectionery
or any other tickler Of the appetite which graf
ifies the taste bur does not support the system.
Exercise is, of course essential to female beauty.
1t quickens the circulation Of the blood, height
ems the color, and perfects the form Of each limb
and the entire body. 1t also gives elasticity to
every movement.

Tie Annapolis Gazette, after reprinting our
recent article on the subject of the proposed
Delaware and Chesapeake Ship Canal, says
''It is in no captious or selfish spirit that We
feel disposed to insist that the contemplated
canal shall not be made at any point north of
this city. Above the mouth Of the Severn river
the chaunel is toituous and uncertain; there is
no safe and capacious herbor, and the distance
from Baltimore to the oceau would not be less
oned by selecting either Chester or Sassafras
rivers az the outlet. The eastern outlet Of the
canal should be as near to the mouth Of the Del
aware Bay as possible. A direct line from Eas-
tern Bay across the peninsula to Cape Henlopen
would require but about fifty miles Of canal, and
give to vessels of the largest class abundant
depth of water free from all difficulties of navi-
CATION. By going up to Chester river across the
peninsula to Deep Water on the Delaware, some
ten miles of cut mig be saved but the dis tance
to the ocean would be materially increased, and
the navigation made difficult and uncertain"

evening. The play was very effectively and sat
isfactorily presented, tn roughout, and the gem
eral excellence Of the Company had fuller OPP
portunity for being displayed. The leading
character, as Miss Mitchell presents Il, is hardly
inferior to FdnchOn though less piqidnt, and
viyarious, the situations are more exciting, and
the plot attaches more romantic interest to the
heroine. On the whole we think the perfor-

to be popular with the mass OF people, is more
artistic and OF higher rank in the drama, than
that on Wednesday evening.

WEDDING AT DELAWARE CITY,


Appended to the marriage notice of DIR. Stiles
Kennedy of Newark, Del, and Miss Mary ,daugh-
ter Of VIM. Reybold, Esq, Of Delaware City, we
find the following in the Gazette !:
The happy event was true uniting OF Newark
and Delaware City, and glance over the nu-
merous throng, assembled to do honor to the
happy pair, showed generous rivalry in number
and appearance. AT six minutes past o'clock
the bridal party, headed by that Prince of
Groomsmen, John L. Evans, Esq, Of Magnetic
Springs, Michigan, leading Smyrna's fair daugh-
ter Miss Kennedy, followed by Daniel Lord Bald
win, of Maryland, with Miss Kate Reybold on
his arm entered the room, and arranging them
selves in proper position "the happy pair" thus
guarded aud sustained approached the altar and
were soon made one. The Trousseau" was
elegant as matter OF course, and the ladies
fully sustained Delaware's reputation as the
bower of beauty" At ten o'clock the doors OF
the refre shment room were thrown open reveal
ing rare sight OF beauty; garlands Of flowers
decked tho walls and suspended from the CELL
ing, gracefully draping the table, which was lit
teraly groaning under tho weight OF good things
so literally provided by a liberal host, aud to
which the guests, initiating the example Of the
Groom, did full Justice. Conspicuous among
the assembled hosts were the Hon. A. Hardcas-
tie, of the Maryland General Assembly, VIM. II.
Brown ESQ of the Philadelphia bar and Prof.
f. D. Porter, Of Delaware College. The evening
like all such passed only too soon and the bridal
party leaving for their home brought the evening
festiviies to a close, with many regrets from the
privileged guests that their generous host had
no more lovely daughters to marry oil.
