VIII olesale Matrimony.

A very curious procession tool
place recently, says tho New York
IHcrc"ry, on East Second street
1t consisted of thirty-two young
couples, all of them dressed in tho
national costume of tho Bohemian
Czcchs. The mon wore short
jackets, richly embroidered in rod
silk, and the girls whito skirts and
crimson jackets, with caps Of green
velvet, embroidered in gold and
silver. The procession, which was
headed by n small band and by a
venerable prclatc in his full vest
ments, moved through Second
street to Avenue A, and then
through Essex str o. to Broome
street, where in the large hall of the
building No. 237 ceremony such
as has never been witnessed before
III Now York took place. 1t was
simply wholesale wedding of
thlrty-two young Czechs with
thirty-two buxom lassies from the
land of Nepomuk, tho patron saint
Of Bohemia. There is probably no
country in tho world where the
wedding ceremony is looked upon
with moro religious awe than in
Bohemia. The Czech colony in this
c,ty, consisting mostly Of mon and
women engaged in the manufacture
OF cigars, or in glass-blowing, has
recently received strong accessions,
principally from Prague and the
surrounding country. Notwith-
standing the prostration of business,
these CZechs have fourished more
than any other element of our
foreign population. They aro very
thrifty, sober and Industrious, and
they say TINT there is not a single
Bohemian pauper in tho city.
Some of the female cigar makers Of
that nationality have relatively large
sums in the savings banks. They
are a very energetic class Of females
and by no means unattractivo in
personal appearance. There being
no priest here able to perform tho
nuptial ritos in tho Czech language,
the young couples that were roady
to got married dubbed together and
scnt for the Right Rev. Bishop
Habelczok from Prague, to marry
them all at once. When tho bishop
arrived here, a singular compiler
ton occurred. The number of
couples that had sent for him was
found to be thirty-threo, very
unlucky number, and hence it was
determined that only thirty-two
couples should be married. They
drew lots rs to which couple should
be excluded, and the hapless lovers
who were solectod manifested their
disappointment in very lively
manner. The bishop consolod
them by promising to marry them
soon. The wedding ceremonies on
l}roomo street were quito impress
i've. Aftor tho service had bocn
read tho older portion of tho fc-
male audience, among whom there
were many mothers of tho brides
and biilc2rooms, burst into start
ling lamentations, whilo tho grooms
looked unconccrned and tho brides
bushingly dropped their eyes.
When the prelato had blessed thom,
salt and broad were handed round
and partaken of by everybody. Tho
did not kiss their
brides, tho Czechs considering it
indecent even for husbands to kiss
their wives in public.

churches. 1t Is held on the fortietn day
alter Easter, and is intended to COM
memorate the ascension of Christ into
Heaven. 1t is one of the six days oc-
curing in the year for which the church
Of Eaglsnd appoints special psalms and
the zane church, also particularly re-
commends it as fitting day for the re-
Giving Of the communion. Ascension day
has been observed from the earliest times
of the Christian church. ST. Augustine
believes it to have been instituted by the
apostles themselves, or the primitive
bishops succeeding them. Connected
with the religious observance OF this day,
were certain civic ones. which in some
parts of England and Scotland are con-
tnued to this day, though their religious
connection is entirely forgotten.
