TIKI BRIDEGROOM.
l would not have devoted 30
much space to the father Of the
bride OF this evening were it not
for the fact that otherwise the &C.
count that follows OF the wedding
might be received with incredulity
Tho bridegroom, young Throck-
moSton, is descended from one Of the
Oldest and wealthiest families of the
"bluo grass country," as he loves to
oall it. He came to Brazil with q
! matter OF half o million in his own
right, and since has prospered fa
mously, 80 that to day he cannot
be worth less than $6,00O,O0O. But
o poor pittance in comparison with
his fathor-in- laws overwhelmingly
gigantic fortune, but still quito
sufficient to relieve him from tho
imputation of marrying tho fair
Malta Cabral for money. He met her
first year ago at ball at Pernam
buco, and the result was case of
love at first sight on both their
parts. They make an exceedingly
propossessing couple-he toll,
broad shouldered, yellow Of hair
and mustache, and she q tiny,
graceful, lovely-faced brunetts.
The invitations were written on
parchment by artistic hands, in
quaint text, exquisitely illuminated.
Instead Of being enclosed in paper
envelopes, they were sent to their
favored recipients each in it's dainty
box Of sandal wood. These boxes,
1000 in number, were manufac-
tured TO order expressly for this
wedding at Canton. Each one Of
them WAS furnished with a lock and
key Of solid gold, was exquisitely
carved with cupids and hearts and
other designs appropriate to the
occasion, and cost $3.50. My own
invitation lios beside inc as T write,
and I catch the delicate scent Of
the sandal.
AN EARTHLY PARADISE.
The residence Of the great Dia-
mond King, at which the wedding
took place, is situated little over
half milo from Diamantina, which
is, you know, the chief town OF the
diamond district. The house is
the complete realization of the ideal
castles of the regulation English
novels, and the grounds connected
with it are the last expression of
nature at hor loveliest, reinforced
by art at its most consummate.-
This evening the place seemed a
paradise. Wax candles by the
thousands, each caught and held in
its place bya bronze figure, flooded
the rooms within and the miles of
ground without with soft yet bril-.
liant light. Here and there, on the
green slopes, or in the rustic bow
ers, or at the edge of some roman
tic ravine, large music boxes, inn
bedded and completely hidden
from view in moss, played q soft
and dreamy accompaniment to the
voice of the fountains. One hun
dred music.boxes were employ
cd in this service, and the tunes
that were pricked on their cylinders
wore composed especially for the
nnptial night by NO less celebrated
a musician than Liszt. He receiv.
ed a draft of $25,O0O for his witch.
ing work, and who shall say that
he did not earn it? Certainly nc
one that listened to tho music. The
music.bozes will be distributed on
the morrow among the bridesmaids
and other guests of this evening,
as unique remembrances of the
wedding. Each of one them was i'm
ported from Paris, is cased in mo
sale, and elaborstely finished in
gold, silver, and variety OF pre-
cious stones. The hundred boxes
cost as many thousand dollars. The
drawing.room in which the Ken.
tuckian and his "dark Brazilian
bride" were made one flesh had
one feature in its adornment which
} elected the most fervent expression
Of delight and amazement from all
who were present. I allude to the
decorations of the four walls. They
were ono moss of full.blown white
camellias from floor to ceiling, and
! o good sized diamond was inserted
in the centre Of each to cunningly
counterfeit the dew drop. The Of
feet was simply ravishing. 1t il
} estimated that the adornment Of
this one room called for an expendi
ture OF fnot less than $40, 100000. Nc
diamond was given the role OF the
dew drop that was not white, and
! perfect "as the bosom Of star"
