The Survivor Of the Celebrated Dia.
mOnd Wedding.

William c. Bryant's party received,
while in Havana, many courtesies from
Madame Oviedo, the heroine of the
diamond wedding in New York in 1858.
The Rev. j. H. Bryant writes thus to
the Princeton (Ill.) Republican:
She was New York girl, named
Bartlett, who married, some years since,
a rich old Cuban, with tinge of African
blood, am told. l remember there
was great noise about it at the time in
the New York papers, and the vast
sums Of money that were spent at the
wedding. Mr.. Oviedo did not live long,
and his young widow now lives in his
spacious and splendid palace, in all the
luxury of princess. We called upon
her Sunday night, to thank her for
kind attention, and found her alone
with another widow, a sister-in-law,
younger than she is. Mrs. Oviedo is an
intelligent woman, stalks like q book
and seems to understand all about the
politics of the island. am told she
manages or oversees her business. She
has large sugar plantation near Man.
tanzas, where she spends the summer.
The income from 1t is $SO0,OO0 yearly.
She is strongly in favor of the annexa-
ton Of Cuba to the United States, but
says she does not talk about it except
to Americans.

The loss of the coasting schooner
White Swan, on the rocky shore of
Martha's Vineyard last Monday, fur
nishes tale of suffering and heroism
which ought not to pass unnoticed.
The vessel was small one, of only al
tons, and was on its way from Calais to
New York. The gale Of Monday night
drove her on the reef which makes out
from Cape Poge, and early in the morn
ing she struck about third Of mile
from shore. Six men were on board of
her, and, unable to make any effort to
save themselves, they chung to the rig
ging, while the freezing water con-
tinually broke over them. The wreck
was seen at dawn from the shore, and a
boat was brought from town some
miles distant with which to attempt
their rescue. The sea, however, ran SO
high that it was madness to think Of
launching the boat. All day Tuesday,
and through the long night that fol.
lowed, the shipwrecked men we're ex-
posed to the cold, the fierce wind, and
the icy water that swept over them. On
Wednesday, steamer YVES got under
way from Vineyard Haven, and started
through the heavy ice Of the Sound to
make an effort to save them. A whale
boat was carried on the steamers deck,
and on nearing the wreck it was
launched and manned by six stout men,
who, at the imminent hazard of their
lives, and after suffering severely from
the cold, succeeded in saving the entire
crew of the wrecked schooner. The
rescued men were all badly frozen, and
had been for twenty eight hours ex.
posed to the bitterest cold and the ap.
parent certainty of death; while the
boats crew that rescued them was also
frostbitten, none of its members escap.
ing without frozen fingers or ears.

Proceedings In Congress.

In the Senate on the 18th bill was
passed authorizing the President to appoint
a Paymaster General in the army ...... The

pletion of the Portage and Lake Superior
Canal was passed ......T The remainder of the
session was occupied with the discussion Of
the Tariff bill.
In the House on the 18th the Wisconsin
Land Grant bill was taken up. A substi-
tute was adopted by vote Of % TO IS, pro-
viding that all lands granted by Congress
in 1856 and 1864 for lands for tie construc-
tion Of the st. Croix and Lake Superior rail-
road, such grants having expired by limi,
tation, are declared forfeited to the United
tates, and shall hcnceforward be subject to
homestead entry and settlement under the
Homestead act Of the goth Of May, 1871, and
that NO part Of such lands shall be selected
by or inure to the benefit Of any railroad
company under any assumed grant from the
United States, and that no land embraced

pany shall in any case revert TO the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company, and repeal

yond the reading or filing Of speeches on

The English are talking Of amending
their burial laws, and apropos Of this
the Pail Mall Gazette thinks that it
would not be amiss to revise marriage
laws also. At present no one can be
married after IL o'clock in the day, and
this absurd regulation imposes upon
the relatives and friends of happy
pair the necessity of eating cold chicken
and drinking champagne almost imme-
diately after breakfast. After doing so,
of course no one is fit for business dur
ing the day, indigestion and waking
nigh tmare set in, and these terrible re-
suits are brought about by holding to a
"veetige of barbarism."

First, then, you select your dyes
vegetable or wood dyes they should be,
blue, crimson, yellow, according 10
fancy-and, procuring small portion
Of each from adruggst, you place them
in separate vessels. Then dropping the
eggs into hot water for few moments,
you draw on the shell with a bit of tai.
low any design you please-names,
dates, leaves, crosses. The tallow pre-
vents any discoloration in the spot it
covers, so when the egg has been sub
mitted to the boiling dye, the pattern
appears in white on tinted ground
with very pretty effect.
Another method, more laborious but
infinitely more artistic, is to dye the
whole egg, and afterward scrape out
the pattern with a sharp pen-knife.
This way admits of greater range of
taste and skill than the other. The
egg may be divided into compartments,
each holding some tiny vignette, a land.
scape, perhaps, or an angel, or cupid,
or line of verse, with the date, all
framed in solid, bright color. In old
days, eggs treated after this fashion did
duty as valentines, and were frequently
preserved in the after.homes of the
happy pairs, each egg carefully en-.
shrined in a deep, long-stemmed wine
glass, through which the inscription
could be read without removing it.
"Golden" eggs, which are covered
with gold foil, are beautiful things when
mixed with others. A cheap way OF
making them is TO use the dye of the
furze- blossom, which is said to commu-
nicate a fine yellow color.
Any boy or girl clever at drawing can
produce with little trouble variety of
designs, which shall have the added
merit Of originality. What could be
prettier than knot of Easter.howers,
snow-drops, violets, or lilies of the val
ley, painted in water colors on the
white shell, or sketched gracefully and
lightly in sepia or India-ink. Pencil
drawings are singularly soft and pretty
on the same pure background, and,
set with boiling water, are not easily
defaced. A monogram in bright, illu.
minated tints and gold is also effective.
In short, there are a dozen charming
fancies which will at once suggest
themselves to the mind of any young
artist who begins to think upon the sub
ject, and we advise such by all means
to try.-"Homs and Society,"" in Seribner's

Mr.. William C. Bryant, at q recent
meeting of the Alumni of Williams
College, opposed to the Darwinian
theory a very ingenious reverse PROPOSE
ton, which may hereafter be known as
the Bryantian theory-at least it would
become known as such if some wiseacre
would only write q three-volume book
in support of it. He said:
1t is not more likely that the easy
road downward has been taken, that
the lower animals are derived from some
degenerate branch Of the human race,
and that, if we do not labor to keep
the rank we hold, our race may be frit-
tered away into the meaner tribes of
animals, and finally into animalcula
Then may our Tweeds become the pro.
genitors of those skulking thieves of
the Western wilds, the prairie-w wolves,
or may swim stagnant pools in the
shape Of horse.leeches; our astute law
yers may be represented by foxes; our
great architects by colonies Of beavers /;
our poets by clouds Of moiquitoes,
famished and musical our doctors Of
DIVINITY say it with all respect to the
cloth-by swarms of the mantis or
praying insect, always in the attitude Of
devotion. If we hold to Darwin's theory
AS / do not-how are we TO know that
the vast multitudes of men and women
on the earth are not the ruins, SO to
speak, of some nobler species, with
more elevated and perfect faculties,
mental, physical, and moral, but not
extinct?

A Singular Case.

DR.. Hubbard, a lecturer on physiology,
stopped in the middle OF lecture he
was delivering in Montreal, last week,
utterly unable to remember whas ne
was about to say. He was taken to his
room, but did not recognize his friends,
not even his wife, who was immediately
sent for. He seems to have lost his
memory entirely, does not know where
he il. does not know his own name,
and Is supposed to have softening OF
the brain.
