NEW York, Feb. 18th, 1877.
A WEDDING IN HIGH LIFE.

of a gorgeous d" wedding in high life"
which has afforded an immense deal of
amusement in the clubs and among the
men about town. The lady in the case
is a daughter of a very wealthy man,
who has something over a million in
her own right, and the groom is n
young man from a Western State,
whose only fortune was his voice and a
handsome face and figure. The voice,
a very rich tenor by the way, has
brought him $500 8 yea" 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 a sylph in proportions. But the
million and overt Half that sum
would convert n much uglier woman
into an angel, and the young singer
found her defects in figure no draw
back whatever. Especially they were
not noticeable after she settled upon
him an income of SIC, 900 per year for
life, and made over to him 500, 900 in
his own right. That proceeding cov-
cred all her defects, and he was led ! k
a lamb to the-nuptial altar. From
this time out the gorgeous rooms of the
lady at the SWEETEST of the swell hotels
will have two occupants. Rather n
good speculation, counted rs a specula-
ton, for a young man with only $500
per year! But then think of his being
pointed out everywhere as the husband
of the rich Miss CrGsus! Think of how
his fellows, who haven't married n
million and over, will sneer Mt him, and
turn up their noses ut him, for doing
what they would give all their earthly
possessions to he able to do. 1t will be
hard lines for the young man, and pos
sibly he has more than earned his
n He processes TO DO happy, and
swears, as he drinks his wine-wine is

BLUE GLASS.
Some years ago Gen. Pleasanton pub
lished an article in which the assertion
wa made that rheumatism and n 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 those
exposed in the natural way; and that
animals--calves, 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 repro
duced, and this time it took. The city
papers published it, with n lot of Won
derful experiments that had been tried,
and Immediately n demand for blue
glass sprung up that was wonderful.
In two days every particle of blue glass
was taken up, and the astonished deal
ers were obliged to telegraph for sup
plies. Rheumatics used it, animal fan
ciers covered their quarters with it, and
pie are trying the new cure. One
writer asserts that he cured himself of
rheumatism by this simple agency, and
others are claiming that they are get
ting great benefit from it. If there is
anything in it, it is queer that it has
never been discovered before-if it is a
within, it is certainly the most whimsi-
cal within that has ever struck the
people. Look out for a blue glass
mania in your parts.
EXCESSIVE L Es
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. Tay-
lor makes an exhibit that is startling.
Mr.. Taylor left an estate that was
worth 5000, 600 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 get fees ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000, and now the ltiga-
ton 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 forma-
ton of an association to resist the rob.
bers. The charges for legal services
are always exorbitant ard oppressive,
They have more the appearance of rob
berry than charges, and there is no use
going to the courts about it, for The
judges are lawyers, and never decide
against the craft. a young lawyer con
siders himself amply provided for foi
two or three years if he a become
counsel in a decent bankrupt case
There never is anything left of the as
sets, but the attorney gets a fair star
in life. He always considers himself il

drops to him.
