Catholic service, conducted by the vicar of
St Philippe du R0ule, at the :" st.

the private chapel Of the Elysee, sub
terranean apartment which holds only

From the above programme it will be
seen that all unnecessary display has been
dispensed with. The proceedings will
throughout be distinguished by the most
rigid simplicity, while not even the tradi-
tional exposition of the trosSeaa and
corbeille de noces has taken place. Ru
mors are current of presents rich and
rare, of laces, silks and sstins such as
Ptris alone can produce. but these have
neen shown only to few friends, and the
itmale world have on this occasion been
deprived of one of its most esteemed
privileges-the contemplation of costly
bridal outfit. Mdlle Grevy has little taste
for the feminine delights of toilette
etirenee, and is much happier when accom-

A curious piece OF intelligence has beel
received from Mexico, According to tn

Don Carlos has decided ON taking up hi
