Marriage Of the Presidents Son, Lieut..
Col. 4. ID. Grant.

THE Chicago morning papers of the
21st contain lengthy accounts of the re-
cent great social event" in that city
the marriage of Lieut.-Col. Fred. D.
Grant and Miss Ida Marie Honore-
which transpired the day before. From
these details we extract the following:
H. H Honore, the. brides father, is a
prominent and wealthy citizen of Chi
cago.
Col. Grant, son of President Grant, is
about twenty-five years old and is a
graduate of the military school of West
Point. He was appointed on Gen. Sher-
idan's staff with headquarters at Chicago.
One account says that he first met Miss
Honore, his bride, about two years ago,
travelling with a party of friends on her
way from school, and that he was intro
duced to her on the cars between New
York and Washington and fell in love
with her at once. They were engaged
about three months before the wedding.
Miss Honore is about the medium
height, perhaps slightly below it, slender,
and clear brunette, with regular feat
ures, brilliant, sparkling face, and a
dignlfed carriage. She graduated from
the Convent of the Visitation, in George
town, D. c., with the highest honors, in
1871, but returned again and passed
another year to perfect herself in her
musical education.
The wedding ceremony was performed
at the house Of the brides father, in the
presence of about sixty invited guests.
After few preliminary remarks the
officiating clergyman addressed the bride
and groom as follows:
eff now, forsaking all others, you are
prepared to give yourselves to each other
as husband and wife, to live together ac-
cording to Gods holy law, you will join
your right hands"
The young couple joined hands.
The Pastor-Do you, Frederick, take
this woman whom you now hold by the
right hand to be your welded wife, to be
to her a true, loving and faithful husband
so long as you both shall live?
Frederick do.
The Pastor-And you, Marie, do you
take this man whom you now hold by the
right hand to be your welded husband,
| to be to him true, loving and faithful
wife so long as you both shall live?
Marie-I do.
The Pastor-Then let this faith be mu-
| tually plighted in giving and receiving
| this ring.
The ring was exchanged and put on
the brides finger.
The Pastor-Pure and endless, let ii
symbolic the love that makes you one
And now, having promised thus to be
| faithful to each other, and having sealed
your vows by. giving and receiving this
ring, in accordance with the law of God
and by virtue of the authority vested in
me by the laws of the Commonwealth as
minister of the Gospel, pronounce
| you man and wife; henceferth one in
name, in interest, and in all the joys and
sorrows of life, until it shall please God
to part you by death. And what God
hath thus Joined together let no man put
asunder. And may our Father in HEAVIER
bless you and make you a blessing, and
enable you so to live life of faith in the
Lord Jesus, and of obedience to Him
that you may enjoy the riches of His
grace here, and, in the world to come
| life everlasting.
