Falsely in u Larceny Case.

Yesterday warrant was sworn out by two col.

Thomas, charging Sonny Webb, Il Colored second
hand dealer on Seventh street, between and NJ,
with perjury. The aflair grew out Of the arrest
few days ago of the compainants upon
suspicion of stealing gold watch, val.
ned at $500, from stranger, which
was traced to the store of Webb who
claimed that he bought it from Harris and Thomas
for sl2 and that he 1iterwurd sold it for $50. The
pnrties when tried proved that they were not in
the city at the time of the robbery or of ever huv
ing been in Webb's place of business. Up to II
late hour last night Webb had not been arrested.
II is expected that strong array of evidence will
be brought against WebD aud the trial awRkens
much interest from the facts that are expected TO
be brought forth.

4 wedding. in the old English style, that
should reproduce the prattiar or more quaint
embiems OF such ceremonies in the past,
would an interesting improvement upon
the formal and somewhat melancholy proceed
ure at present in fashion, and a bride who
should wish to ipuov2te pleasantly upon the
stereotyped path Of weddidg routine could
not do better than bring back the rosemary
and the wheat, exchange the bridesmaids for
fiower-crowned boys, and her sugar mountain
cake for the cid pile of thin waters, over
which, in full view of the company, she gives
her husband her EYst kiss, and which the IN
married may beg from her in exchange for
gifts of pansv, rose, or myrtle. For it is IN
fortunately as true Of marriage as OF many
other social celebrations that display
and extravaganza are becoming too
much the fashion. Thus, Christmas
trees, which were once pretty spectacles
only, with swcefuleats, or fruit Of the
mercst trifies Of ribbons and flags for children
to gather when the tapers were burnt out,
now bear costly presents for adults Again,
valentines, which used to be simple expires
sions, in paper-lace and gilt, Of sweethearts'
nonsense, are now freighted with articles Of
dress, practical gifts, and iewelry. So,
too, Easter eggs, originally nothing moro
than eggs hard-boiled in colored fluids, have
gradually developed into baskets Of the pre-
cious metals. These extravagances are
largely due to imitation of our artistic neigh
bors across the channel; but, except for the
beauty of the workmanship of the articles, it
can hardly be said that modern, unmeaning
luxury is any improvement upon the simple
symbolism of the past. Nor in the vast edi-
fee of the latter-day wedding cake, with its
architecture of costly ornament and acres of
indigestion. have we made an exchange for
the better with the old ''bride- cakes" which
were carried into the church, and there in a
pleasant sacrament of intimate friends passed
around among the company, eaten with hip
pocras and ale, spiced with rosemary and
Glove carnations.

Primitive Jewish Weddings.
rCincinuati ENQUIRER.


The primitive Jews do not appear to have
performed any definite ceremonies at the
wedding. yet they had some sort OF ratiii-
cation of the vows of espousal The day
before the wedding the bride took bath,
which then, as in moro modern times, was
somewhat formal procedure The bride
groom on the wedding day was aTrayed IN
his most gorgeous attire, wearing on his
head either turban or gold or silver crown,
and sometimes enc of flowers or leaves. He
was also highly perfunled with nyrrh and
fankincense. The bride wore long veil which
covered her from head to foot, indicative OF
her submission to her husband, girdle and
chaplet of gold or silver. The time of the
ceremony was generally in the evening, and
eie bridegroom, accompanied by his friends,
and musicians and torcli-bcarers, went to her
house and brought her and her party to his
own or his fathers hous, amid shouts and
sounds of JOY. At the hridegroorn's house a
feast was given, after which followed music
and dancing. the male guests dancing around
the bridegroom and the women around the
bride. When virgin married parched corn
circulated among the guests to suggest the
hope of fruitfulness and plenty. The last act
in the Jewish wedding ceremony was leading
the woman, still yelled, to the bed-chamber,
where canopy, sometimes bower of roses
snd myrtles, was awaiting.

Speaking of Gen. Lew Wallace, minister

his mind. His style Of writing is also lofty,
end for that reason 1 can't enjoy his novels
They seem so much stilted to me- He is a
first-rate soldier Indeed, he was the military
genius of Indiana at the beginning of the war.
He ran away as boy to the Mexican war,
and after that his whole soul was on SOL
diering and he always had military
company. Being the brother-in-law Of
Henry S. Lane, Merton summoned Wallace
to Indianapolis and made him adjutant gem

took me right in to sec Wallace. I shall

to the defense OF the national CAPT tai. hur-
lted back to Muncie and had the
town bell rung, and when the orders
were given about one-haf the company
backed out, the captain included,
BY which means became the captain and
went to the war. When Wallace started
with his men, the Eleventh regiment, for the
field, he made magnificent speech to them
before the state house Oh how JEFF Davis had
traducaa the Indiana regiment in the Mexican
war; and called them to swear with him to
avenge the honor Of the state against JEFF
Davis and his cause He drew his sword; all
the officers drew tkeir swords; the whole
regiment kneeIed with uplifted hands, and il
was d thrilling sight, though little funny to
think of after this interval"
