Ny. W. D. Howells adds two volumes of
very elegant and agreeable series of autobi-
ographies. Marmontel lived in brilliant
epoch of French history, and was surrounded
by personages that one is glad to read Of, in the
various attitudes in which they appeared to
their contemporaries. The faults of Marmon-
eel-and they were grave-belonged to his
times; and who can doubt that the genial and
fortunate traits that never left him. had their
beginning in the charming, sincere and simple
home-lite, which he describes in the tenderly
idyllic manner in which man may recall the
morning OF his life, as dream of which the
struggle and stress of later years was the awak-
enng. The passages which record this blame.
less and peaceful existence are fresh and deli
cate, and give lively and delightful view of a
family life whose virtues, ambitions and rela-
tions resembled, as Mr. Howells Justly remarks,
those of an old fashioned community in New
England. The change of scene is violent from
this simple and tranquil home, to Paris, and
the facile nature of Marmontel yielded to the
influences which surrounded him, retaining al
ways certain goodness of heart. He wrote
Moral Tales, Memoirs; dramas in which the
great Mile. Clairon displayed her sublime art
of nature. 1t is perhaps to certain theories and
practices of Marmontel that Mr.. Howels owes
his favorite manner of novel writing, the semi
dramatic in which "the said he, an1 said she,"
are banished. If this be so, Mr.. Howells pays
his debt handsomely to the old French writer,
in the volume under consiaeration-a graceful
and highly interesting autobiography arranged
with good taste, and affording, together with
tho memoir hich proceeds Ii. a lively portrait

Brssce'S Bride.
cleveland Special.


The dust after the departing train bearing
Senator Cameron and his bride from the city
had hardly subsidized when talk began to be in
dulged in in regard to another Senatorial we'd
ding in this city. Senator B. X. Bruce, of
Mississippi, has owned some real estate here for
a considerable time past and often visited the
city to look after it. Some years ago he was
engaged to Miss Vosburgh who died, and he
has continued to visit the family here. AT
length the gossips said that he had a new
love, and the assertion was denied, every
one believing the denial until now. The
happy affanced soon to be bride is
Miss Josephine B. Wilson, Oldest daughter of
DR.. Wilson, who reside on Perry street. Miss
Wilson would not be taken by the casual OBJ
server to be Of African descent at all. She is
really beautiful, and quite accomplished. She
is graduate of the high school of Cleveland,
class of 1872, and has since been teacher in
the public schools. She is "a years old, or
twelve years younger than the Senator. The
wedding will be private and without cards,
Monday morning, but several distinguished
people from abroad are expected to attend. At
the close of the ceremony the pair will leave for
Europe, where they will take in the sights of
the continent in four-mt nths' tour.

SION OF Mrs. Weber. Packard at this time was
pressing Sherman to appoint him to the New
orleans collectorship. He wanted the Sher-
man letter to force Sherman to give him that
palce. Mrs. jerks came here, but it
Is not believed that she induced Mrs. Weber to
let her bring the letter to Washington, bat that
she was permitted to read it. Upon her ar
rival she called upon Sherman, told him Of its
existence, and in whose custody it was, and
that Sherman to keep her quiet, appointed her
husband to place in the New Orleans
custom-house; that meanwhile she went
back ON Packard and Kellogg, returned to New
orleans, and secured from Mrs. Weber, under
promise of place from Sherman for her. the
original letter, which was sent to Sherman, and
which he has destroyed, but which, while in
Mrs. jerks custody, was photographed, and
for which reason, though he has destroyed the
original, John Sherman is afraid to emphati-
cally deny writing it. Mrs. jerks will unfold
her tale to the committee tomorrow.
