A Royal Wedding Cake.

The bridal cake of the Duke of Con-
naught Prince Arthur, of England and
Princess Margaret Louisa, recently mar
ried in England, is thus described by a
London exchange;
"The bridal cake stood five feet six
inches in height and was shaped as a
emple--base, columns, vaulted roofs, and
ornamentation cast in white sugar. 1t
was built in the confectionery of the
castle by Mr.. Ponder. The superstruc-
ture consisted of two vaulted roofs,
beautifully chased and supported by ad-
mirably proportioned pillars with Corin-
THAN capitals. At the four corners of
what may be called the lower chamber,
were stationed four female figures, as
clearly cut as if they had been chiseled,
emblematic of the four continents-Eu-
rope, Asia, Africa and America-whilst
at intervals we're cupids driving swans
or doves. Within the balustrade, made
up of dwarf pillars joined by flagree
work of fine lace, were the figures of
Cupid and Psyche, whilst in palquea of
sugar, on white satin panels, were the
English and Prussian arms. The va
rious pedestals bore the interviewer
monogram Of bride and bridegroom,
whilst the base was richly decorated with
scroll brackets, from which were sus-
pended festoons of orange blossoms

Editor Of the Bristol Netcs'
Sir,--I find an article in your Issue Of
llth clipped from the Abingdon Vtrgi8-
ian, setting forth the relationship exist
ing between the Hon. Preston family
and present Governor-General Of Cana
da, the Marquis Of Lorne.
His "tracings" are in the main cor
rect, 50 far us that relationship is con-
cerned, but had he taken time and pains
to have examined into the history of the
Campbell family little farther, he
would have found in the old county of
Washington ''sons of Liberty" who
boast still nearer relationship than
theirs. II|
William Campbell, of Kings Noun
tain, was, the father Of Sally Campbell,
who afterwards became the wife Of Gen.
Francis Preston. He, William Camp
bell, had sister Margaret, who married
her cousin, Arthur Campbell, who WAS
Ms neayly related TO the Duke of Argyle
M she was herself and from this mar
rlage was born II son, william Campbell,
who Is the father Of G. G, Campbell, of
Bristol, with his numerous relatives.--
Thus, You see, "drops of distinguished
and royal blood" have descended to
them, not only from their grandmother,
but from their grandfather also.

"Jnto each life some rain must fall"
Into all eyes some tcar-drops start,
Whether they fall rs u gentle shower,
Or drop, Hhe fire, from an dchiEg heart.
Into all hearts some sorrow must creep,
Into all souls some doubling come,
Lashing the waves Of Lies great deep
From dlmpllng waters to scethlng foam
Over all paths some clouds must lower,
Underall fcctso sharp thorns spring,
Tearing the flesh TO bleeding wounds,
orontcrlng thclrhcarts with blttcrstng.
Upon all brows rough winds must blow
over all shoulders cross must be lain,
Bowlng the form from lts lofty height,
Down TO the dust Ia It's bitter pain.
Into all hands some duty thrust,
Into all arms some burden given, Z.
Crushing the heart with iis drcary weight
OrllItlng the soul from earth TO heaven.
Into all hearts and homes and lives
Gods dear sunshine comes streaming
down,
Gliding the ruins Of Llfc's great plains
weaving for all u golden crown.
