EX-SENATOR VANCE
An Elegant Affair in an Old
Kentucky Home.

Senator Zebulon B. Vance, one Of
the most brilliant and popular men
in the south was married to Mrs.
Florence Steele Martin, of Louisville,
at the old Steele mansion twelve
miles from that city, Wednesday
night, under the happiest auspices.
The residence is a stately old mansion
in the midst of a beautiful grove. One
hundred and fifty guests were present.
From the Courier Journals account
of the affair, the following extract is
made:
At 10 o'clock promptly the orches-
ira struck up the wedding march and
the doors were thrown open. Pre-
ceding the happy pair were Miss
Madge Rowan, of Bardstown, and
Miss May Logan, who stood as wit
nesses upon either side of the myrtle
arch. Then came Senator Vance and
his bride, and an involuntary hum OF
admiration rose. Senator Vance, who
has just entered his iftieth year, looks
fully ten years younger; a man Of
magni6Cence presence, tall, impress
sive, and handsome. His hair and
mustache, both luxuriant, are iron
gray, but the color of his face, the
quick light in his eye, speak Of physi-
cal and mental prime. In his personal
appearance there is that which pro-
claims tho distinguished man.
Mrs. Florence Steele Martin, the
bride, is the daughter Of the late Col.
Samuel Steele, and a lady possessing
all the accomplishments and graoes
that adora any station in life. Petite
and delicate in form, Q brunette, with
frank eyes aud an intellectual face,
she was exceedingly attractive. She
wore a Marie A~ntoinette dress of
white-feathered, brocaded satin, with
triangular corsage. The train was
very long, and the whole deliberately
trimmed With lace and pearls. In
her dark hair crushed roses and white
violets were worn. Hes vail did not
cover the face, but was dropped TO the
aoog behind. The only iewelry worn
were solitaire diamond ear-drops. 1t
was a very handsome and a very
youthful-looking couple and ATTRACTED
great admiration. So youthful did
they look that the story Of the match
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1880-06-18

seemed natural. Mrs. Martin, who
has been a widow for ten or twelve
years, has not mingled much in soci-
ETY. until last winter, when she went
to Washington TO visit friends at the
Riggs house. While there she at
tended several entertainments, and at
one Of them met Senator Vance. The
attachment, which was formed at
once, was soon cemented by an en-
gagement and the time Of the mar
riage agreed upon. Mrs. Martin
shortly after returned to Louisville,
which she leaves in a few days TO
preside over the household of one Of
the most popular statesmen in the
south.
The wedding party entered the par
lor as described, followed by two sis.
tors of the bride, Misses Hattie and
Cecilia Steele, beautiful bridesmaids.
Rt. Rev. Bishop McClosky, in the
robes of his holy office, was her
ushered in, and standing before the
expectant throng addressed to the
candidates a brief but eloquent dis
course upon the responsibility and
beauty Of the life upon which they
were entering. They were married
with the ring," which was blessed ac-
cording to the rite Of the Catholic
Church. At the conclusion of the
ceremony, which was the Apostolic
blessing, there was the usual rush Of
congratulations, which were uttered
heartily. Many of those present were
old neighbors and personal friends of
the bride, and the deepest interest
was taken in the union. Senator
Vance, who is possessed of hearty hu-
NOR and a sparkling wit, soon made
his portion of the ceremony a great
relief from the usual solemn utter
change of courtisies. He received all
with frank geniality, and was soon the
center Of an admiring group of per-
sons.
After the congratulations the we'd
ding feast was served-a spread of
rare completeness, as rich as it was
abundant. The health of bride and
groom was drank by all the guests.
Then the music struck up for the
dance, and the young people, who
were present in large numbers, sought
the drawing-rooms, and the scene be-
came enlivened and beautiful.
The wedding was a genuine hospita-
BILE Kentucky celebration, and the
guests fingered until morning began to
creep in.
Senator and Mrs. Vance will remain
in the city until Saturday, stopping at
the Gait house. They will then leave
for the east before settling in their
new home in Charlotte, N. G. Gene
raj Chalmers will also remain until
Saturday. General Chalmers arrived
yesterday morning, and Senator Ran
som and Senator Williams were ex-
: pected to come with him, but they
were detained by the deadlock in
congress. Colonel A. Broadhead, Of
St. Louis, had also written that he
7 would be present, but did not arrive
b in time.

PUBLIC LEDGER OFFICE,
MENPHIS. Tenn. lima is. 1880,


The same general quietness rules in
financial circles here that prevails all
over the country. Money is in good
supply, productive investments are
sought for, and borrowers experience
no trouble in negotiating loans,
provided they can command acceptable
security or unexceptional cOllaterals.
Interest rates are irregular at from 5
to 8 per cent, extreme rates being OBJ
tanned where second class securities
are rendered.
Exchange quiet and UNMARRIED.
Eastern cotton bills ! to fc off, and
New York checks 4c premium. New
Orleans rates 4c off buying and par
selling.
Local securities are mainly.frm and
readily marketed, save Shelby county
scrip which at present is slightly
weak and for which dealers are I'M
willing to pay above 92 cents. Shelby
county bonds are quoted firm at 900,
Governments continue to be in favor
with investors, though their interest
yield is much below other classes Of
securities.
The silver market is looking up to a
considerable degree, the London price
of bar silver having advanced to 524d,
nearly one cent an OF. above the price
of ten days ago. The U. S. treasury
purchased yesterday for minting pur-
poses at Philadelphia and San Fran
cisco. 458, 900 ounces of bullion silver.
The price paid is not stated, but it is
doubtless within a fraction of the
London quotation.
But little iuctuation has been noted
in railway securities fer some days
past. The earnings Of the various
roads continue to exhibit a gratifying
increase. Those of the Louisville and
Nashville, during the first week o.
june, shows again of $71,O79. The
earnings include Mobile, New Or.
leans & Texas railroad. The Iror
Mountain road earnings, for the frs.

COTTON Ex0HAN0E QUOTATIONS.
T-A--.A-. nr...c.-As
General Trade.

The cotton area for the current year
is estimated at about 13, 0 900 acres,
by the agricultural department at
Washington, an increase OF 7 per cent.
over Last season, and the largest on
record. In several localities it is be-
lieved by many who are engaged in
the cotton trade, and who are also
deemed good authority, that the esti-
mated in crease of acreage is below the
mark. For example, the increase for
Louisiana is set down at 4 per cent,
and in Mississippi from 2 to 4 per
cent, and both are believed to be too
low. The BELIEF prevails that the in
crease will be full II per cent. and
perhaps even greater. The favorable
weather renders the prospect fine for
a large yield, and with no untoward
influence the estimated yield of the
past year, amounting to about $780,
600 bales will be fully equalled, if not
exceeded. In view of this prospect,and
of the efforts making in other markets
to draw off a part of our cotton trade,
it behoves factors and merchants here
to bestir themselves in efforts to Sc
cure greater shed room in time for
storing the growing crop. In trade
circles butlittle 1uctuation of valuesis
reported. Meats are strong and tend
upward. Meal is firm and in de-
mand. Feed is very quiet. Eggs are
weak and droopy. Receipts this

Gents: From my OWL sense of duty,
and upon the advice of friends ] have
concluded to offer you q testimonial, pro-
claiming to the world that there is an
absolute cure for Bright's Disease in its
worst form. Ny daughter Carrie has
been afflicted with this terrible disease
since she was five years of age; she is now
seventeen, and during these eleven years
her life has been a burden; she has been
treated by the best physicians in Buffalo
Syracuse, Utica, Ithaca, Oswego, Hornells-
vile, Rochester, and other places, and a
fortune has been paid out in the vain en-
deavor to obtain cure or even relief, but
all have pronounced her incurable; have
said that her kidneys were nearly de-
|stroyed, that there was no help for her
and she must abandon all hope of ever
being any better. We finally heard of
your SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER
CURE, and suggested to different ply
sicians that we make q trial of it; but
they secuted the idea, pronounced it a
humbug and said it would be perfect folly.
We finally came to Rochester and tried
several physicians here, but they like the
others, were unable 10 do anything for her.
We also mentioned your remedy to them
and they said il had a good reputation,
and made some remarkable cures, and en-
couraged us to give it a trial; so as a last
resort, we concluded to at least consult
you, and seven weeks ago to-day, l came
to your office for that purpose. l took
home two bottles Of your KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE, and commenced giving
1t TO her according to directions, and by
the time she had taken one bottle, there
was q marked improvement in her condi-
ton; she acquired control of her urinary
| fpetions, which she had not possessed
since childhood; all bloat subsidized, she
began to gain in good, solid flesh, and
gained thirteen pounds in. about three
weeks. After taking three bottles of the
remedy, she has in this short space of
seven weeks, become fully cured OF what
was regarded a hopeless case of Bright's
Disease. l wish | could talk with every
sufferer from this fearful disease, and tell
them as l can not in this letter, that l
know Bright's disease of the worst tyne
can be cured by WARMERS SAFE
KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE, and l
gratefully acknowledge that my daugh-
ter's life and health Is due to the use of
that remedy, Yours truly,
