From our own correspondent.

A Wedding in High Life.
The papers are filled with accounts
of gorgeous "wedding in high life, !"
which has afforded an immense deal
of amusement in the clubs and among
the mon about to vn. The lady in
the case is daughter of very
wealthy man, who has something
over million in her own right, and
the groom il young man from a
Western State, whose only fortune
Was his voice, and handsome face
and figure. Tho voice, very rich
tenor, by the way, has brought him
$500 year, in an uptown church,
which sum has had to take care of
his person, for that was all he had.
The lady is past her hey day, and
has the additional disadvantage Of
not being sylph in proportions.
But the million and overl Half that
sum would convert a much uglier
woman into an angel, and the young
singer found her defects in person no
drawback whatever. Especially
were they not noticeable, after she
settled upon him an income of &c.,
900 per year for life, and made over
to him 100000 10 bis own right.
That proceeding covered all her de-
fects. and he was led like lamb to
the-nuptial alter. From this time
out the gorgeous rooms of the lady
at the SWEETEST of the swell hotels,
will have two occupants. Rather a
good speculation counted as specu-
lation-for young man with only
$500 per year But then think OF
his being pointed out everywhere as
The husband of the rich Miss Cree sus.
Think of how his follows, who havn't
married q million and over, will
sneer at him, and turn up their noses
at him, for doing what they would
give all their earthly possessions to
| be able TO do. Ii will be hard lines
for the young man, and possibly he
has more than earned his money.
He processes to be happy, and swears
as ne drinks his wine-wine is q late
habit with Tim that he actually
loves her.
Blue Glass.
Some years ago Con. Peasanton
published an article IN which the as.
sertion was made that RI eumatism
and a DOZEN other diseases could be
cured by merely permitting the
beams of the sun to shine through
| GLASS alternate white and blue, and
| fall upon the afflicted parts; that
vegetables grown under blue glass
would produce infinitely more than
that exposed 10 the natural way; and
that animals-calvee, pigs, chickens,
etc, kept under blue glass would
grow twice as fast as when in any
other light. A few weeks ago the
article was reproduced, and this time
IL took. The city papers published
it with lot of wonderful experiments
that had been tried, and Immediate
" demand for blue glass sprung up
that was wonderful. In two days
every particle of blue glass was taken
no. and the as!onishod dealers were
obliged to telegraph for supplies Rheu
MATES used it, animal fanciers cover
ed their quarters with it, and all
sorts of ailing and bed-ridden people
arc ~ y "a -,utys-rc .7s'-r-sare. Ono writer
asserts that he cured himself of rheu-
matism by this simple agency, and
others are claiming that they are
getting great benefit from it. 1t
there is anything in it il is queer that
It has never been discovered before
If it is a within it is certainly the
most whimsical within that has ever
struck the people. Look out for a
blue glass mania in your part
Excessive Fees.
1t pays TO be a lawyer in New
York, if you can only get anything
to do. The will case of the late
James r. Taylor makes an exhibit
that is startling. Mr.. TAYLOR left an
estate that was worth 100000 cash,
which has been entirely eaten up by
the lawyers. One firm gets $4,000
commission for the sale of ten shares
of Times stock. Other firms got fees
ranging from 81, 900 to 10000, and
n9w the litigation stops because
there is nothing more to pay the
harpies with.
The papers in the city have taken
the matter up, and are urging the
formation of an association to resist
the robbers The charges for legal
services are always exorbitant and
oppre ssive. They have more the ap-
pearance of robbery than charges,
and there 10 no use 10 going to the
courts abont 1t, for the judges are
lawyera, and never decide against
the craft. A young lawyer considers
himself amply provided for for two
or three years, If he can become
counsel IN decent bankrupt case.
There never is anything left for the
assets, but the attorney gets a fair
