Gl;i English Weddings.
[London Telegraph

4 wedding, in the cid English style, that
should reproduce the prettier or more quaint
eubiems of such ceremonies in the past,
would be an interesting Improvement upon
the formal and somewhat melancholy proceed
ura at present in fashion, and @ bride who
should wish to innovate pleasantly upon the
stereotypod path Of weddidg routine could
not do better than bring back the rosemary
and the wheat, exchange the bridesmaids for
flower-crowned boys and her sugar-moumtain
cake for the old pile Of thin waters, over
which, in full view of the company, she gives
her husband her first 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 sweetDleats, or fruit, of the
merest trifles 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 jewelry. So,
too, Easter eggs, originally nothing more
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-
flee 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
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.

lCllcltlIlilbl ElipIittI
The primitive Jews do not appear to have
performed any definite ceremonies at the
wedding. yet they had some sort of ratifi-
cation of the voys of espousaL The day
before the wed Ting the bride took hath,
which then, as in moro modern times, was a
somewhat formal procedure. The bride
groom on the wedding day was aIrayed in
his most gorgeous attire, wearing on his
head either turban or gold or silver crown,
and sometimes one of flowers or leaves. He
was also highly perfuIned with nyrrh an6
fankincense. The bri.le wore long veil which
covered Der from head to foot, Indicative OF
her subiD ission to her husband, girdle and
chaplet of gold OF silver. The time of the
ceremony was generally in the evening, and
the bridegroom, accompanied by his friends,
and musicians and torch-bearers, went to her
house and brought her and her party to his
own OF his fathers house amid shouts and
sounds of JOY. At the hridegrooms house
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 frutf,tlness and plenty. The last act
in the Jewish wedding ceremony was leading
the woman still yelled, to the bed-chamber,
whersa canopy, sometimes bower OF roses
and myrtles, was awaiting.

stranger invited the red-headed man
into his stateroom to partake of
some refreshments. Half an hour
later the red-headed man babe his friend
adieu with many wishes for thsir better ac-
quaintance. Five hours later, in New York,
the red-headed man and the courteous
stranger sat gloating over the valise full OF
laces, watches, gloves and the like which the
former had brought from the ship and which
the customs officials had never thought of
examining, as he had not come in on the

General Eew Wallace.

Speaking of Gen. Lew Wallace, minister
to Turkey, Gen. Brady said yesterday: 'He
is an able man, though dramatic one. His
appearance and manners are as dramatic as
his mind. His style of writing is also lofty,
and for that reason can't enjoy his novels.
They seem so much stilted to me. He is a
frst-rate soldier. Indeed, he was the military
genius of Indiana at the beginning of the war.
He ran away as a boy to the Mexican war,
and after that his whole soul was on sol
diering and he always had a military
company. Being the brother-in-law of
Henry S. Lane, Morton summoned Wallace
to Indianapolis and made him aGjutant gen
eral. | was about the first to come forward
with company from Muncie, and Morton
took me right in to see Wallace. I shall
never forget his expression and gestures.
They were those Of a born tragedian. He
said he wanted my company Immediately,
and to go right back and get it, as it must 90
to tie defense OF the national capital. I hul-
ried back to Muncie and had the
town bell rung, and when the orders
were given about one-h1lf the company
backed out, the captain included,
by which means became the captain and
went to the war. When Wallace started
with nis men, the Eleventh regiment, for the
field, he made q magnificent speech to them
before the state house on how JEFF Davis mad
tTaduced the Indiana regiment III 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; ali
the officers drew their swords; the whole
regiment kneeled with uplifted hands, and il
was u thrilling sight, though little funny to
think Of after this interval"

great number of these skulls were trepanned
during lifetime, probably in infancy and
early youth, and that they healed
up again, the subject of the operation
surviving it for many years. The
theory is that the practice was
a sacred rite of some sort, it being found
that the skulls of those very persons who had
undergone the operation in their lifetime
were after death subjected again to the
same operations; a number of small disks
were cut from them in such way that each
disk contained portion of the cicatrized
edge made by the original trepanning, these
disks being used as amulets by living per-

John Stetson, the we'll known theatrical

misuses of the English language. He has
finally become tired of these piaasantriss at

Tribune says:

Finding the Hidden Fortune Buried

ri have been sent for very often in my
time" said an elderly detective, ito search
for money concealed by eccentric people.
There was more of this hiding away of cash
forty years ago than there is now, owing,
probably, to the doubtful character OF some
of the old savings banks.
"Some fifteen years ago went up to
farm house in Orange county, at the request
of the heirs, to look for money The deceased
had had no striking characteristics for my
purpose, and, after trying several lines of
search for three days, I grew doubtful. His
riding saddle had been ripped open, his boot
heels knocked off for diamonds, his shoes
split up and his upholstery pulled to pieces.
Bricks had been taken out, the hearth torn
up, and the wainscotings pulled down. Even
the backboards of picture frames had been
taken out, and the boys had dug around the
roots of every tree in the orchard,
but still no money had been found.
The reward was too large to be lost, but
was nearly at my wits end. Finally the
thought came like a flash: Where was the
old gentleman in the habit Of sitting?
asked. Oh he almost always sat by that
window said the brother; 'but we've pulled
everything to pieces around there sit

1880 SMITHS.
A Few of the Family Gather Once
More at Reapack to Make Merry.

New York Sun.
The blast of horns and the roll of drums
floated yesterday over the 'ancient New Jer-
sey homestead of Peter Zachariah Smith,
which is six miles from any railroad station,
and on the outskirts of the primitive village
of Peapack, which boasts a postoftice and
stage coach resembling Chinese junk The
old-fashioned gabled house and barns were
bright with flags. On q platform in the
centre of the grove town band furnished
music that scared horses. By afternoon there
were 1900 people on the ground. The de-
scendants of John Smith, of Holland, who
settled in New Jersey in 1743, had met to eel
citrate him and the prosperity Of his numer-
Gus poste i-ity. There were Smiths in
straw hats and Smiths in plugs, Smiths in
homespun and Smiths in clawhammeTS,
Smiths in army elevens, Smiths in French
calf, Smiths in wooden shirts, and Smiths in
immaculate fronts They came in all sorts
of vehicles and from all directions From the
natty rig of tho heir of the family to the
rheumatic turnout of the good old grandpa,
all were there, and the grove buzzed with
confusion. The old officers of the Smith
association were reelected early in the morn
ing in Peter Zachariah Smiths kitchen.
They are Josiah Smith, president; Abram
Smith, vice president; James G. Smith, sec
rotary, and Oscar Smith, treasurer. One
saddening circumstance alone marred the
general serenity President Smith was not
present. He stayed away because refresh
ments were sold on the grounds against his
wishes.
There was q grand dinner, moistened by
mineral water, under the orchard trees.

there was no grunbling. Farmer Peter
Zachariah Smith, one Of the fifty-seven
grandchildren of John Smith, went about
among the feasters the picture Of happiness.
The number of pretty Miss Smiths who
waited on tables was surprising. Secretary
Smith stood behind the register book in q
leafy bower, and took down the names of
Smiths of many generations. There are now
1850 Smiths recorded in his book. After
being photographed the crowd gathered
around a pavilion and listened to speeches.
Abram Smith presided HIS beaming face
lighted a glow Of brotherly affection in the
eyes OF all the Smiths.

Scarlet of Feapack in a melancholy voice,
''for one of our family name, a man whose

renowned. l mean Deacon Richard Smith,
of Cincinnati, a truly good man. He has

Addresses were also made by the Rev.
Messrs. F. A. Mason, Of Bernardsville, Fred
Bloom, of Peapack, and DR.. I. n. Quimby,
the temperance candidate for governor of
New Jersey. As the evening advanced tie
crashing of the band grew more violent, but
there we've no whirling couples. These
Smiths do not dance.
