RENNErT.s BRIDAL.

The New ork Herald, the great SEN
sational paper of the country, is conspic.
unusly silent OH the sensation of the day
in New York city-the suddenly broken.
of marriage Of James Gordon Bennett,
its proprietor, and the Attack upon him
by the cnraged brother OF the disap-
pointed fancee. But the other New York
newspapers have not followed the exam
Ile OF their contemporary and their col
umns are full OF rufnors concerning the
engagement, its sudden termination and
the habits OF the notorious If not
famous Bennett. The engagement be-
tween Bennett and Miss May had existed
for some two years, aud was to have been
theme of conversation among the friends
OF the parties, the feminine portion being
especially interested in the costliness and
elegance OF The bridal trousseau that had
been ordered from Paris at an expense
OF twenty thousand dollars But as the
time drew near for the wedding, strange
stories Of the conduct of the greom-elect
began TO be circulated. Like Dick
Swiyeler, he developed an over-weening
fondness for 1.-THE rosy" and while un-
der its influence, was guilty Of singular
and unbccoming actions. On one
occasion, the family OF Miss May was in
yited TO dine with him. An elaborate
dinner was prepared, but alas, for the au-
petites of the visitors, the host, after the
soup wa, served, gave orders that the
rest of the menu with the exception of the
dessert, should not be served, and his
well-traincd servants obeyed him TO the
letter. ON another occasion, when a
party Of ladies and gentlemen were being
entertained by him. he invited the ladies
into his biliard-room TO witness trial OF
skill between some players. 10 the sur
prise OF his feminine guests, he insisted
on their taking positions on the billiard
tables and Immediately introduced into
the apartment some game fowls, which
engaged in spirited contest, much 10
the chagrin and discontinue of the la
dies who were compelled to endure
the unpleasantness of their po-
sition for upward, OF IN hour.
These are few Of the vagaries com.
mitted by the owner Of the Herald after
putting AN enemy into his mouth TO steal
away his brains. He clapped the climax
Of his oflcnses against his bcthrotled
when he allowed her, vailed and orange
lowered, TO wait in vain at the threshold
OF the matrimonial altar, for his pres
ence. The insult to the lady and her
family was avenged by her brother with
a horse whip and now all New \ ork is
IN daily expectancy OF duel between
the parties.
