SloN, Jutit no.
Chief Justice Waite has just returned
from South Carolina. He says during
three weeks stay in Charleston, not II
single social call was made on him OF
his daughter. BY the older of the FIX
rebel element he vas treated o like
an outcast and criminal than a gentle
man. His views, as 10 South Carolina
rct,els having become thoroughly re-
constructed and disposed to accept in
good faith the situation, have been ma
terially modified. Judge Waite'S
friends here are indignant, and the
President and Cabinet seemed greatly
astonished. His friends say he eX-
presses the opinion that conviction
should have followed the conclusive
evidence as TO the guilt of some of the
Ellenton rioters. He was treated with
boro and Raleigh, n. c., where he held
court.
II is known that the syndicate have
expressed to Secretary Sherman a de-

FAMOUS WEDDINGS AND BRIDES.

History and tradition have handed down
TO US wonderful accounts of the manifcent
ceremOnialS and the gorgeous raiment
which has signaiZed the weddings Of by

of Austria, her robe was white satin, and
her hair was dressed without crown or
wreath. Isabella of Portugal, as the bride
of the Duke of Burgundy, wore dress of
splendid embroidery, stomacher ofermne,
tight sleeves, cloak bordered with ermine
falling from her shoulders to the ground,
but she had 10 ornaments, and her head
dress was white muslin. When Anne of
France, finding the Archduke Macmillan
tardy i'll his wooing, gave herself and her
dominions to Charles Will, she appeared at
the imposing ceremonial of her marriage in
robe of cloth of gold, with designs in
raised embroidery upon it, and bordered

the marriage of Henry l. with Matilda of
Scotland, carries off the palm as far as the
outward splendOr is concerned. Bishop
Anselm performed the ceremony in pres
ence of all the beauty and chivalry of the
realm. The marriage of Edward l., in
Canterbury Cathedral, was little less mag
nliicent. Margaret Tudor, when married
to James of Scotland, stood proudly at the
altar as her noble lineage warranted, a

EFFECT or TEA ON THE SKIN.-If v

EFFECT or TEA ON THE SKIN.-If you
drop few drops of strong tea upon a
piece of iror-a knife blade for instance
the tannate of iron is formed which is
black. If you mix it with iron filings OF
pulverized iron, you can make an article
of ink. If you mix it with fresh human
blood, it forms with the iron of the blood
the tannate of iron. Take human skin
and let it soak for a time in strong tea, and
it will become leather. Now, when we
remember that the liquids which enter the
stomach are rapidly absorbed by the veins
and absorbents of the stomach and enter
into the circulation, and are thrown out
of the system by the skin, respiration and
kidneys, it is probable that a drink so COM
mon as tea and SO abuudantly used, will
have some effect. Can it be possible that
tannin, introduced with so much liquid
producing prespiration will have no effect
on the skin? Look at the tea drinkers of
Russia, the Chinese, and the old woman Of
America, who have so long continued the
habit of drinking strong tea. Are they
not dark colered and leather skinned
Whea young they are fair complexioned.

THE NATIONAL GRoG SHoP.-Both the
House and Senate restaurants are nothing
more thar bar rooms, where liquor is sold
to any one who calls for it. Before the war
it was the custom to sell liquor at the
Capital, but in 1868 IA very stringent law
was passed prohibiting it, and the members
who wanted their drinks used to keep
private supplies in the committee rooms;
then fancy wines were introduced into the
restaurants, and the lobbyists used to ex-
pend considerable champagne in bringing
refractory members to order. Up till re
Gently champagne has always been served
il pitchers and cups, and the bottle was
carefully kept out of the way; but now it
is not an unusual sight to see three or four
bottles of wine on different tables at the
same time. When the present caterer went
into the House restaurant he sold whisky
in toacups, and would be very particular to
whom he sold it; but at the present session
all such formaiity has been Gone away with,
and when "A person wants a drink all he

for it as he would do in a barroom. Cock
tails and other fancy drinks are mixed to
order. In the Sena.e restaurant little
more respect is paid to the appearance of
things; but still liquor is sold there, and it
should be stopped. There is a law expressly
prohibiting it; neither of the caterers has
license to sell liquor, and even if there
were no other reasons it is not proper that
the Capitol of the United States should be
turned into grogshop.
