When will the procession move?
General Butler, though popularity supposed

The COMING MARRIAGE spp.rop .Ioyvo
ne ne senator LdteSt Utterancs Upon Financs.-
Inc following is from q private letter received
in this city:-How will Washington feel when
Senator Jones returns with his fair young bride?
For he Is really TO be married to Miss Sullivan
ana very soon. Except in point of age, ii is enc
OF those ideal marriages that we 50 seldom see
and in regard TO age one cannot say more than
he did IN speaking of it TO me a few days since
After discussing the engagement, Mr.. Jones re-
marked; 1.-The only drawback is in the differ
ence in our ages, and If Sh, is gracious enough
to overlook the difference il does not become
any one else to make objections on that score"
The bride elect is not q beauty, strictly speak
ing, but is more than ordinarily pretty, MIS-.
Sullivan Is OF medium size, with fine stylish
hgure, and very elegant and refined manners.
She has lovely, thoughtful face, crowned
with wayy masses OF bright blonde hair of that
rare, beautiful tint which looks as If it held in
duraDce the brightest rays of q summer sun
She is woman with great force of character
and mind well disciplined and highly cultured.
lnherlung fortune from her grandfather, and
being the only child OF a gentleman of large
wealth, she is above and beyond the suspicion
OF nercenary motives, which, under other cir
cumstances, might attach to . marriage with so
wealthy man as Senator Jones. No one who
sees them together can doubt that her whole soul
is wrapped up in him. With the keenest INTEL
lect and the kiDdest heart in these Pacific
states, he is man for woman's love, and he
has won worthy share OF 1t. In this era of
love matches we feel proud to add one from this
far of land of the west. May all good fortunes
follow them. =
Have you read Mr.. Jones' letter to the Neya-
da politicians. For fear you may not have seen
II, send q newspaper containing the letter
You will notice that it is q masterly putting
forth OF the writer's views. Full of common
sense and honesty. there are passages which
ring with true eloquence. And this generation
has seen no better epIgram than where In a few
terse words he tells US that "indatien is the
child Of ImpeeuniOsity and the parent of
Panic"
