shall not stay to describe the ceremony of the
marriage IN the Royal Chapel OF st. George,
well known to every American who has ever
set foot In England as one OF the most ex-
qulsIte shrlnes In chrstendou Neither shall
we discuss the doings at the castle alter the
wedding, nor write down the Uames of the
many grand folk, whose preseLce did honor
to bride and bridegroom. Let 1t be sufficient
to record that Lord Lorne's old school
fellow at Eaton, Lord Ronald Lsyeson-
Cover, was one Of lis best men Oh the occa-
sion, and that among the visitors whose
many-voiced fluctuations surged ioyfully
over the head Of himself and his young wife
as they drove away to speGd their honeymoon
at Caremont. were the nibe hundred scholars
OF the KING college OF our Lady OF Eton
beside Windsor They had not been true
spirited English public school boys had they
hesitated TO show lively interest in the
prosperity Of an sold boy" and they cheered,
and cheered as only school boys can cheer,
when the many peals of the bslis announced
to the queen lieges that the marquis was
leaving the castle-yard with his young bride.
More substantial proof of this good will OF
young Elton was shown in a wedding-gft OF
a massive taDkard of exquisite workmanship,
displaying battle scenes copied from Lebrun,
the French painter. AT the base of TINS
goodly cup were engraved the Eton college
arms, and au inscription which declared that
it had been presented to the Marquis OF
Lorne, on his marriage, by the present mem
bers Of his old school. E.on, 1874" This
gift was presented by the captains Of the
school, Radcliffe, K.S.-letters which, we
may as we'll explain for the behoof of the I'M
initiated, stand for Kings scholar, a des-
cendant Of King Henry Wis fifteenth Gen.
fury foundations-aud Stapylton, Of the sop
pidans. We may well believe this generous
gift often now serves to remind Lord Lorue
of the pleasant and profitable school days in
the little house opposite the christopher
inn in the Eton High street.
MARRIED LIFE OF THE MARQUIS.
We have thus sketched, il hasty and i'm
perfect outline, the leading features in the
Marquis Of Lorne's career to the day OF his
marriage with Princess Louise. We have
nothing whatever of public interest to reveal
concerning the home-life of the Marquis of
Lorne and the princess, his wife. A their
seat, D)rnden, near Tumbndge Wells, they
have hitherto simply followed the ordinary
daily routine common to English country
gentlefolk. At KensingtOn palace, where
they nave mostly resided during the London
seasonal q1iet, unDretending mansion quite
thrown into the shade by some of the more
pretentious mansions of the English noblli-
ty-they dispensed hospitality il a quiet, I'M
Ostentatlous way.
THE PRINCESS.
The princess displays intense interest in
everything relating to the advancement and
welfare of her sex. She is an accomplished
IinguIst a good sculptor, and something
more than a good draughtsmau and painter.
The writer has heard it said that the Princess
Louise could, in this respect, hold her own
with not few well-known professional art
lists of her country. She has several times
contributed to public ait exhibitions IN Lon
don, and in the present year exhibited in the
Grosvenor gallery piece Of sculpture Of
marked excellence, Illustrative Of the longs
of Sevant and Enid:
Their three gray suits OF aTmOT
L Oh on each,
And bound them on their horses.
Each on each,
And tied the bride rein OF all
The three together,
And said to her, Drive them
Before you through the wood"

The curious i'll such matters may care to
know that she is an expert 10 the art of de-
signing lace and such small things OF female
consequence, and those who would care to
examine the points of her ability with the
pencil may do so in the pages OF her hus-
bands poem, GHi3O and Lita; Tale Of the
Ririera, reviewed at length IN this journal
at the date Of It's publication in November,
1875. In word, the princess, Marchioness
of L1rne, is .fiacite D,'b,cepS Of her sex, the
representative of the higher culture of woman
in England.
