WHAT SOME WEDDING PRESENTS
ARE WORFB.

A New York correspondent of the Utica
Observer writes thus:
1t is said of weddings; that an ingenious
method of making bridal presents has been
discovered. and one fair bride, at least, has
been enlightened, regarding ''the tricks and
the manners" of wedding guests. A newly
made wife, having had a multiplicity OF
costly salvers given her on her wedding day,
claimed the privilege usually accorded the
recipient of such favors of exchanging what
ever duplicates she might possess for some
thing in which she stood in greater need.
With this end in view, she repaired to Tiff
fany's one day with duplicate salver and
made known her wish to exchange it.
What was her surprise, however, to see the
shopman glance suspiciously at the article
and deny that it had ever been purchased at
that establishment.
"Where did it come from, them" the lady
somewhat Indignantly asked.
Doubtless from some dollar store, mad
am" was the candid reply.
1t was in vain the lady asserted that such
could not be the case; in vain that she
called the shopInan's attention to the ele-
CANT case bearing Tiffany own trade mark.
"That makes no difference, madame, /"
was the reply. "There is a great demand
for our empty cases this season, and this is
probably the use to which they were put.
A salver like that can be purchased for a
few dollars on any of the avenues; whereas,
were it the genuine article, it would cost a
hundred, and the donor fancies he has all
the credit of bona .fde gift, if it is sent
in one of our cases"
The bride probably left Tifany's a sad
der and wiser woman, and 1t is equally
probable that another wedding guest" was
shortly made to 'beat his breast" with
modification and chagrin.

Literary Intelligence.

The London Quarterly Recieoo for Janu-
airy has been reprinted by the Leonard
Scott Publishing Company Of New York.
The table of contents is as follows: The
Drama in England-The Life and Writings
Of John HOoksbam Frere-The Latest De-
velopments of Literary Poetry-The Life
and Philosophy of Bishop Berkeley-The
Bank Of England and the Money Mar
ket - FOrster's Life of Dickens - A
Key to the Narrative of the Four
GoSpels-Sir Henry Hollands Recol-
lections-Marco Polo, and Travels in
His Footsteps-Primary Education in Ire
land-The Proletariat on False Scent.
From this table it will be seen that the
January number contains an unusually in
teresting variety of literary information.
The biographical reviews are admirable
condensstions from larger volumes, with
a vein of comment running through them
which never permits the interest of the
reader to flag. The semi-pOlitical articles
less very readable, and deal with the
British topics of the day in a fair spirit.
Fine Arts, a journal of the polite world,
is new magazine, the first number of
which has been published at New York.
II OPENS up uSW ueIu III OlI pCTIOulCA
literature, and promises to cultivate it
thoroughly. 1t differs from Demorest's,
Cooley, Frank Lesie's, and the Bazar, in
devoting little or no space to changes in
fashions and it is unlike all other maya
zins, from the fact that it is wholly occupied
with subjects which have hitherto, unfortu-
nately, been considered of secondary i'm
portance. The editors of the new journal
are Laura Keene and Emma Webb Nivert,
whose names alone are sufficient guarantee
for its future success. The articles in the
first issue are admirable specimens Of a
graceful, yet nervous, feminine style of
writing. The Typography Of the magazine
is very neat and clear, and the paper is of
the finest quality. The illustrations are
wood engravings, and hardly in keeping
with the general excellence of the journal.

The Opera in Nashville.

The Mariotti troupe made their debut last
evening to a small but brilliant audience.
No doubt if the weather was propritious the
house would have been crowded, from the
fact that they have been heralded by good
Judges in the divine art of music from the
cities of taste they have visited already; but
We in Nashville have pride in stating that
whenever a meritorious and artistic per-
formance is presented, it Is well sustained.
On visiting our old time friend, the Old
Theatre, We were not prepared TO find it so
elegantly fitted up, while we l1ere prepared
to see the youth, beauty and fashion Of
the city present, and DESTROYS of listening
to the exquisite musical melapge offered by
tho troupe.
Many of the visitors were rather disap-
pointed at nothearing "TTOvatore" the first
night, but before opening the gentlemanly
manager, Mr.. Cambridge, informed the au-
dience that Mr.. Marriott was sick in Evans
yila, and it was impossible for his wife or
himself to be present, but in lieu offered
the opera Of Lucrezia Bcr-ia, by DOnizetti.
No matter what the opinion of the plot Of
this opera may be, we must accord a need
Of praise TO the performers rarely deserved
and as rarely received.
The magni6cenCe Of personal appearance
and expensive tOilety Of Madam COrani,
impressed the audience very much, but
when the bell tones and rich vibrations of
her voice Tung forth in the various arias and
trios she sang, all were spell-bOund.
Sig. Baccei is perhaps one of the best and
clearest tenOrs we have had to visit us in
many years, and certainly deserves more
praise than we can accord him in limited
space.
Sig. Reina has full, fine baritone, as his
general physical appearance might suggest,
aud was more than once enCored,
In fact we could elaborate on the de-
lights that this musical treat afforded us at
much greater length if it were not so late.
We cannot however close our notice with
out compiment,ny sig. c. Nicolso. the con-
ductor and pianist, who supplied the
place of full orchestra with the aid Of
grand piano, made in Baltimore by Knabe,
for which our friend Mcclure Is agen'.
La Traviata will be produced on Monday
night, and we have no hesitation in stating
that the production will be worthy of our
best audience.
