took place. The party, consisting of Mr..

with Miss Macrae, Mr.. Jim Little with
Miss Aline Jones, Mr.. Grant with Miss Tut
witer, Mr.. Harding Jones with Miss Wright,
marched from Senator ADDISON Smiths to

flower bell with a huge Gala lilyin the GEN.
tire. The decorations were all under the
management of Mrs. Quarles and Mrs.
Brownrigg, her mother. Altogether they
were exquisite, and only wish more space
we've allowed for their description. The
brides dress was beautiful. Moire antique,
sea-shell pink, en- train, trimmed with
heavy point lace, white. The bridesmaids
were dressed in white; as decided by Mrs.
Brownrigg, Mrs. QuarleS and Mrs. Chapman.
The white satin of Miss Macrae, cut heart
shape, with short sleeves, was the prettiest
among them. The ceremony passed of
without flaw, and the party went imme- |
diately to Senator AdiScn Smiths, where, |
with bountiful hospitality, he had set a
magnificent table. After supper, the bride |
and groom took the train for New Orleans, |
and on the morning of the next day your
correspondent, with the others of the party, |
retraced his steps homeward. 1t was glo-
rious affair; pleasant and improving trip, |
but it is over-its pleasures gone glimmering |
as dream, though to be forgotten never;
Many parts of pleasure and of interest had
10 be omitted for lack of space and time. |
One specially was splendid dinner given
the party by Capt. Jones on the day of the
wedding. "PEG.".
