SHERIDAN'S BRIDE.
The Approaching Marriage IF Cen
eral Sheridan-A Full Description
of the Brides TrOuSSeau.

From the Chicago Post and Mail.l
For some time it has been rumored in
society circles that wedding of more
than ordinary Importance was on the
tapis, and gently whispered hints of
young and beautiful bride and gal
liant and comely bridegroom, caught
the attention of the fashionable world
and excited the widest curiosity; soon
the rumor took definite shape, and the
names of the august parties were boldly
announced and as boldly disclaimed. 1t
could not be possible that one of the
most gallant gentlemen and distinguish
ed soldiers in America could surrender
his liberty of forty-two years to young
lady of half his age, who was not born
when he recorded his first vote. Strange
as it may seem, it is true, and Philip
Henry Sheridan, Lieutenant General of
the United States army, will become in
the'first week of June-the month of
roses-the husband of Miss Irene Ruck-
er, daughter of General d. HI. Rucker,
of this city. No sooner did the Post
and Mail assure itself that this was a
fact, than it set about, with its usual en-.
terprise, the formidable task of learn
ing from headquarters the interesting
| details that here meet the public eye for
| the first time.
OF course the primal feature of i'm
portance and interest, aside from the
distinguished parties who assume the
marriage contract, is the one which
must be of interest to all lady readers,
and especially to those who are young
