TwEED's DAUGHTEB's WEDDING -
GORGEOUS EVENT AND ITS SEQUEL Now
that the statesman Tweed has assumed
his position in public Institution in a
healthy locality in the vicinity of New
York, while some of his disciples in
craftsmanship have gone into country
quarters for the present, says a contem-
porary. i. is rather interesting to read
over the story o. his daughters marri
age, two years ago last juno. The Ger
emony took place in Trinity chapel, and
crowds assembled to gaze upon the mag
ni6cence of the affair. AT .Tweed's
residence, the halls, stairways, parlors,
and chambers were crowded with most
ingenious arrangements of the most ex-
pensive exotics. Among the guests
were Commissioner Henry Smith, Sher-
iff Brennan, Comptroller Connolly, Sup
erintendent Kelso, Commissioner John
T. Agnew, Congressman S. S. Cox, City
Chamberlain Peter B sweeny, Commits
sioner B. F. Maunirve. Judges DAY.

Roberts, DR.. Carnochan, Thomas J.
Creamer, James H. Ingersoll, Chancey
Depew, Andrew J. Garvey, Charles Hall,
secretary of the Americus club, and
many others, few of whom it will be
noticed, are neither in exile nor in state
prison to-day. The presents filled an
entire room and are described as fol !.
lows:
There were forty silver sets, any
one of which would have attracted a
crowd if placed in a jewellers window,
and one single one contained two hun
dred and forty separate pieces. James
Fisk. Jr., sent frosted silver contriv-
ance, representing an iceberg, evidently
intended to hold ice cream or some
equally frigid substance. The associa.
ton was beautifully sustained by the
presence of white polar bears reposing
on the icicls handles of the bowl and
climbing upon the spoons. Singularly
enough, Mr.. Fisk displayed the same
taste as superintendent Kelso, and tn cir
offerings were exact duplicates. Among
the names on the silver were Shandley.
Norton. Witthans, Carnochan, Maginnis
and many others. There were forty
pieces of jeweIry, Of which fifteen were
diamond sets. A single one of the
latter is known to have cost $45,000. It
contained diamonds as big as filberts.-
A cross of eleven diamonds, pea size,
bore the name of Mr.. and Mrs. H. ".

monds, representing sickle and sheav-
es of wheat, was the gift of j. H. Inger.

on diamond bracelets Of fabulous mag
nifcence. Cornelius Corson gave a
ring with tiny watch as the SEAL,
Bronzes, thread lace, cashmere shawls,
rare pictures everything that could be
conceived of which was rich and costly
filled the room with splendor. 80 ~
The trosseau of the bride included
fourteen dresses varying in price from
$500 to SO, 200 each, though her wedding
dress of white gros grain cost 81, 1,0e0, to
which $4,000 worth of point lace was
added. A black silk walking suit was
decorated with 3S2 bows. and others
were elaborated correspondingly. It
was grand wedding even among the
grand weddings of The great city; but
now this Tweed is jailed, and there are
none so poor as to do him reverence. lu
