What It Has Been Doing and What 1t Is
Going to Do, With Notes by the Way
side.
To paraphrase an old saw, Venus, like the
gent OF the hour-glass, likes shining mark.
Apropos to this have been the recent weddings
in high life. Society these perfect May days
has placed on its affairs few of it's more IA
vored darlings. In Short ince the commence
ment Of the month the very mischief has been
to pay.
The immodest little wretch who is repre-
sented in valentines and wood-cuts as attired
in wings and a papier- mache culver has been
carrying off big honors. A subtle spell has
rested in his golden-tlpped darts, and the up
shot has been several matrimonial events, with
more to follow. The demand for marriage
parchment has been active, with an upward
tendency.
The soft moonshine baimy air, and perfect
beauty of the night, with all nature bursting
into gladness, has had much to do with precip-
itating these affairs of the heart. To carry out
the idea in matters of this kind a fellow has
got to be pensive or en- rapport with the
weather. How the deuce could a fellow go
into transports over his girl if there was no
| moonshiue to make him bilious enough to
work up the agony? How could he liken her
charms to the queen of night if her majesty
Withheld her Eplendor?
These lilLie external aids ought to be taken
into consideration. A fellow too often thinks
that his sweetheart is soft on him when her
pensive little soul is wrapped up IN thoughts OF
orange flowers, melted mOonshine, pansy
beds, house cleaning and bed bugs. These and
| thousand other trifles are incident 10 the
spooney season of the year, gentle spring time.
Last week the wedding bells jingled pseudo
heartsease and other nonsense to several So
ciety bellies and their beaux who were Joined
in holy wedlock.
1t would be cruelty to animals not to men-
ton the picnic and strawberry short cake sea-
son. Persons who have lots of time and lucre
may not rush into the country with scores of
other people, aud always meet with warm
reception from the bucolic mosquito which
lays ir wait for the full-blooded and pampered
denizen of the town.
They may also lounge on the messy banks of
the brook, hear the music of the ripping
water, mark the low bleat of the whippor-
will, while at the same time the dreamy soul
is catching its everlasting death Of damp.
These Injuries come high, but they must
have them. Far better an egg poached and
comfort Herewith, in ones home, than bunk
in the attic of summer hotel and a wood full
of bugs Herewith.
The Turner society have arranged for pic
mic to be given at Schade's park on the oath
inst.
Mr.. William Chinn, of the Germania Life
insurance company, New York, is on his an
nual visit to ST. Paul and is domiciled with
his friends in this city.
The engagement is announced Of Miss
Johannah Scheffer, of st. Panl, and Mr.. Gus
tave Goezting, of the ba hiking firm of Rich
ards & Boas, New York. Congratulations are

Last evening the Recreation club gave de-
lightful calico party at Seibert's dancing hall
on Seventh street. Dancing was the order of
the hour, and the festivities were lndulged in
until late in the evening.
Rumor has it that Mr.. Delaney Richardson
is shortly to take trip to Madison, Wis.
When he returns the boys may look out for
cigars and general good time. Delaney is
one of the boys that knows how to do it in
fine style.
Only nosegay of verbenas, honeysuckles and
the like, sparkling with dew and plucked by
her fair hand every morning: and yet the
friends of Mr.. Charles Wall the lucky recipient,
insist that the affair with the charming little
lady are getting serious.
VIM. Pfander, Jr., for many years a resident
OF this city, left with his family last week for
New Ulm, his old home, where he will engage
in the manufacture of amber cane syrup and
sugar. He carries with him the best wishes
of host of friends in st. Paul.
Elaborate arrangements have been made by
the Scandinavian residents of st. Paul for the

Mr.. Geo. j. Nitsch, of the drug house of
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. w. Sonnen. The
marriage will be solemnized next Tuesday

Assumption, by the Rev. Valentine Stimmler.
The vocal and instrumental concert given at
the Athan@um by the Lederkranz society last
Monday evening embraced a number of artistic
features, which were accorded the greatest ap-
probation. The solo talent was of a high or
der, but great admiration is due the director,
Prof. Kerker, for the successful manner in
which the choral work was given. 1t is no
easy task to train raw material or talent into
uniform excellence in rendition, and that he
succeeded in doing this, there can be no mis-
take.
There was splendid company and royal
good time at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Adam Decker, No. Al Eleventh street, last
Friday evening, the occasion bein e the cele-
bration of the flftieth anniversary of mine
hosts birthday. Friends were there from the
days of Aud Lang Syne, and to the voices of
these were added the congratulations of his
ripper manhood. The guests were entertained
in charming manner, and Mr.. Decker was
the recipient of several very handsome testi-
monials
One of the most pleaeant events OF the past
week was the celebration of the silver wed
ding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel S.
Breed, which occurred last night at their
home, No. 300 East Eighth street. AS we'll
known railroad man and accomplished gentle
man withal, Mr.. Breed and his charming wife
have made host of friends. 1t was highly
appropriate that they should conspire toemake
the event something that could be cherished
as dearly as a heir loom in the family history,
and they did it. A grand time was had, and
the gifts were very beautiful.
Conspicuous am ong the charming society
events of last week was the nuptials of Miss
