THE London Musical WIor1o Speaks of
the advantage of the use of gold in the
construction of musical instruments. Of
the four metals distinguished as capable
OF being hardened to spring temper,
and in that state possessing more or less
power of vibration-steel, brass, nickel
and gold-none equals gold, if combined
with copper or silver, for ductility and
power of vibration. An experiment
was made in the use of gold wire for the
strings of the piano with marked re-
suits. Not only was the tone consider
ably increased, but its quality was ma
terially improved. 1t has also been used
in other instruments with equal success.
The extra expense can hardly be
weighed against the advantages gained
by its use.

good circumstances, doing a good bust
ness and making money, but not rich,
desiring to marry, but not seeing among
his acquaintance any lady whom he
prefers above all others, wishes to cor
respond with view to marriage with a
young lady of the following description:

character, Kind and affectionate, good
singer or good pianist, smart and intel

list and about twenty-five years of age.

Two and two at once made four; the
story took a new turn; the gossips
prognosticated evil, and the young
lady's friends, old and young, focked
to see her in scores; but not a word was
said of Ernest Elmwood. The wedding
came off, the church was filled with the
friends of the bride, mainly members of
the same church, and the pastor pro-
nounced the marriage ceremony with pc
culiar solemnity and JUNCTION. The
bride and groom have now gone to their
home in the East, but the talking ones
of the city are still on tiptoe to know
more, and the names of Daniel Bruce
and Ernest Elmwood are by many re-
garded as synonymous terms. The
young lady will answer the description
to jot. She is modest, refined, cult
waited in the arts and accomplished in
all departments of music. Mr. Bruce is
a bright-faced man of forty years of age,
with the appearance of twenty-six, is a
druggist at Providence, r. L., was sol

commission of Captain of Cavalry, and
is SO open and pleasant in his manner as

A Happy Wedding and How 1t was
Brought About.

ONE of the most interesting weddings
that has ever taken place in this city,
says the Lexington (Ky.) correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, came off
here at two O'Clock this afternoon, at
the church of the Rev. DIR. Walker,
known as Hill Street Methodist Church.
One week since, dapper, quick-spoken,
bright-faced Massachusetts man put in
an appearance here, and the first ques-
ton known to have been asked was
"Where is the DAILY Press Officer"
When the question was answered, away
he put to find it, and, when entering,
said: al am from Providence, X L.,
and have brought you copies of each of
the daily papers, and many of the New
York papers, which, l hope are in adj
vance OF the mails" His open, bright,
direct manner attracted attention, which
ripened into confidence and to some ex-
tent personal regard. This was the
last known of him to the public for sew
eral days, when it became matter of
common talk that Miss Fannie Brown
was to be married within day or two
70 a Mr.. Daniel Bruce, Jr., of Provi-
dence, r. l. Miss Fannie's position in
society warranted some of our best peo-
pie in taking an interest in her, and
they began at once to inquire, "Who is
Mr.. Bruce?" Away the story went I'M
til at last some old crone, with a mem
DRY never at fault, called attention to
an advertisement which appeared in the
Daily Press July 9th and later, to the
following effect.

The American Girl who Married a
Mexican General.

A DESCRIPTION of the house in which
Gen. Trevino and his bride are located,
and some other matters, may be inter-
esting to your readers. The house is
elegantly and tastefully furnished, and
has d spacious courtyard, lined with
trees, flowers, and shrubbery. All the
rooms are large and well ventilated.
Stables and carriage house are attached.
The house fronts south 100 feet, with a
depth OF 210 feet. 1t is one story and
built on the side of hill. The servants
quarters are entirely separate from the
main building, and when the front door
is locked all is closed. 1t is so con-
structed that its inhabitants can see
what is going on in any part of it, espe-
cially in the servants quarters.
On the evening of the Sth, day of ar
rival, the band Of the Second Cavalry
and the Twenty-ninth Infantry sera-
naded the General and lady. The bands
consolidated for the occasion, and num-
bered forty-two pieces. The streets
were crowded as long as the bands
played.
On Wednesday ball was given at
the Casino of Monterey in honor of Gen.
Trevino and lady, at which the wealth
and beauty of the city were present.
The music for the ball was by string
band, and during the intervals between
the dances the Twenty-ninth Infantry
band played sweetly In the courtyard of
the Casino. Dancing commenced at 10
p. m, and continued until 4 q. m, ex-
cepting the interval devoted to supper.
The health of the bride and groom was
drunk, and Senator Francisco saba de-
livered poem dedicated to the bride.
Don Ignacio Galindo made a very neat
speech.
On Monday, the 10th inst, the cere-
mony of civil marriage took place in the
salon of the Generals house by Judge
Melchoa Nillareal, with the necessary
number of witnesses. Last night bail
was given at Ell Teatro del Progreso, in
honor OF Gen. Trevino and lady, by the
Governor and the civil and military dig
nitaries of the State and republic. The
ball opened with a quadrille, Mrs, Ire
vino dancing with the Governor, and the
General with Miss Lola Marquin. The
ladies were superbly dressed. The
theater was handsomely decorated, and
the floor for dancing carpeted. About
5000 lights, red, green, and white, illu-
minated the theater and supper room.
The carpet, dark Brussels, was dot
ted with gold leaf, which had been
sprinkled over it. The private boxes
were filed. The view from the door
was like peeping into faiiyland. l am
told that the attendance at this ball was
greater than at any hall that hos haan
given in this city for the last eight or
ten years. In the DANA about one hun
bred and fifty couples occupied the
floor.
No hats were lost or exchanged. The
supper and wines were excellent, and
plenty for all. As generous expendi-
ture, a bar was open during the ball,
free to all, where you could obtain any
thing you wished, from champagne down
to mescal. About a. m. the music
ceases, lights are put out, and the grand
ball belongs to the past.--Monterey Cor.

A Water Telescope.

ACCORDING to Land and Watey. the
Norwegian fishermen always carry
with them on their expeditions kind Of
telescope called water telescope. This
is tube three or four feet long, with an
eye piece at one end. The other end,
which is open, is placed in the water
over the edge of the boat, and a little
practice easily enables the observer to
distinguish objects at depth of from
ten to fifteen fathoms. The fishermen
are thus enabled to discover shoals
which would otherwise 90 unnoticed.
They then give the signal, their COM
rades surround them with seines. and
they frequently make wonderful hauls
in places and under circumstances that
would never have been suspected but
for the use of the telescope. Mr.. Frank
auckland recommends the instrument
to the English and Scotch herring fishers.

The Lewiston (Me.) journal says ::
" A cross-eyed old fellow, with his chin
and throat mutlled in luxurious crop
of hair, got off Maine Central train in
Auburn a few days ago. He deliber-
ately fished chunk of chalk from his
breeches pocket and marked a good
sized white cross on one of the cars
He then asked the way to the "pump,"
and took drink. When he got back
to the train, some one asked him why
he put the chalk mark on the car. "My
wife told me-" said he, "not to git off
the train at all, for fear l might git in
the wrong keers. l thought I'd put a
mark on the train so l should know it
was the right one.n
