Famous Weddings and Brides.

History and tradition have handed down
to us wonderful accounts Of the masnif
cent ceremonials and the gorgeous raiment
which have sigualizsd the weddings of by
gone days, though some Of the high born
danes Of old have stood at the altar simply
appareled. When Louis XIII. married
Anne Of Austria her robe was white satin
and her hair was simply dressed, without
crown or wreath; but Isabella Of Portugal.
as the bride Of the Duke Of Burgundy,
wore dress of splendid embroidery. i
stomaeher Of srniine, tight sleeves, cloak.
bordered with ermine falling from her
shoulders to the ground; but she had no
ornaments, and her head-dress was white
muslin. When Anne Of France, finding
the Arehdake Maxiinilian tardy id his
wooing, gave herself and her dominions to
Charles VIII she appeared at the impos-
ing ceremonial of her marriage in a robe
of cloth Of gold, with designs in raised
embroidery upon il, and bordered' with
priceless sable, James /. nearly ruined
himself in order to celebrate the marriage
of his daughter, the Princess Elizabeth,
and great and determined was the opposi-
ton shown by his subjects to the marriage
tax he raised to defray the f53, 294 it
cost. The ceremony took place at White
hall with 50 much pomp, that it has formed
the precedent for all other royal weddings
in England which have followed. The
train of the brides dress, which was Of
silver cloth, cost f130. Her hair floated
on her shoulder, intsrmixed with pearls
and dismonds and aicroTn Of god Vas on
her head. Perhaps, however, the marriage
of Henry /. with Matilda ofScotland carries
of the psIm as far as outward spleudor is
coneerned.a Bishop Ansslm performed the
ceremony in presence Of all the beauty and
chivalry Of the realm. The marriage Of
Edward / 10 Canterbury Cathedral was
little less magnificent. Margaret Tudor,
when married to james of Scotland, stood
proudly at the altar as her noble lineage
warranted, . erowa on her head, her hair
hanging beneath it, covered only by cap

The coast region north aud south Of
the Congo i becoming quite an important
source of caoutchouc. 1t is produced by
a giant tree creeper (iaadolphia, } which
grows principally along the water courses.
It covers the highest trees, and frequently
considerable extents Of forest are festooned
down to the ground, from tree to tree, in
all directions with its. thick stems, like
great hawsrrs. Sometimes ITS stem is as
thick as mans thigh. Above, the trees
are nearly hidden with its large glossy
leaves Of dark green hue, and studded
with beautiful lunches Of pure white star
like flowers, most sweetiy scented It's
fruit is Of the size ola large orange, yellow
when ripe, and PERFECTLY round, with a
hard brittle shell inside 1t is full Of soft
reddish pulp Of an agreeable acid favor,
much liked BY the natives. Il is not easy
TO obtain ripe seeds, as the ereeper is 4
fovorite resort Of a yillainous, semi-traps-
parent, long-legged red ant-with sting
ing bite, like the prick Of red hot needle
which is very fond Of the pulp and the
seeds distributed through it.
Every part Of the creeper yields milky
juice when wounded; but, unlike the juice
Of the American rubber tree this milky
sap viii not run into vessel placed to
receive il. II dries 50 quickly that q
ridge is soon formed over cut, and the
flow arrested. When collecting it, the
natives make long cuts in the bark with !
knife, and as the sap gushes out they wipe

smear il % their arms, shoulders, and
breasts, until thick covering is formed
Then they peel il of and cut it into small
squares for transportation. -Seientj6eAmer-

A Plain and ForuIAle Charge.

Judge Bowie, in bis charge to the Grand
Jury o. Montgomery county, goes some
what farther than usual il such eases.
Among other matters reviewed he says;
The great interest Of the county are its
public schools, its public highways, its
public revenue and its police
For ten years past, ample provision has
been made by the State for tho free edu.
cation Of all its children Ii the funds
dedicated to this purpose are judiciously
applied, every adult IN the State, ten years
hence, should be able to read aud write.
Although you have no direct control over
the system Of public education, yet every
person engaged in its administration, Is
public officer, aud every deliberate dere-
LECTION Of public duty, is a misdemcanor.
Zach teacher should be living example
of the effect Of education in morals and
manners.
Nexi to education, the means which
most elevate community, are the facilities
Of REORGANIZATION Isolation is com
pantiye barbarism. 4 county eau never
be thoroughly civilized aud intelligent
without good roads. Access to schools,
churches, market and social intercourse, is
essential to the development Of the agri-
cultural, as well as the moral, character of
the community. The condition of every
highway or thoroughfare, is matter of
public concern. Large sums of money
are appropriated every year for the public
roads, yet they remain in many places, in
the same condition they were before; ii is
your province to inquire whether they are
committed to proper hands, or proper
system of repairs is adopted.
The railroad being crossed by the coun-
ty roads, generally on the grade of the
former, it is essential to the public safety
that the bed of the county roads should
be paved for short distance each side, to
enable wagons and carriages to pass with
ont delay as trains are approaching; other
wise much time is lost by waiting, or
danger incurred in passing.
The offences against the State arc d.
vided into misdemeanors and felonies.
Under the first class, whatever is pro.
ductiye Of disturbance of the public
peace, or Of nuisance, scandal of the COM
niuRity, or partakes of the character of
personal lewdness, or tends to incite the
commission of any specific crimes, is in
dictable as misdemeanor. Among nui-
sances, or scandals to the community, in
dictable at Common Law are enumerated,
individual offensive drunkenness, pub
lie profane swearing "le,ed and obscene
language, so as 10 dra,c together cro,cd

its nature must prejudicially affect the
morals or health of the community. Be.

crimes and higher misdemeanors affecting
the lives, property and security of the cit
liens of the State, which it is your duty
