The Weddin8 of Liesst. IhackarG to q
Daughter of Lieut.. Gen. Sherman, Four
Years Ago.
The wedding of Lieut.. Thackara, o. S. N,
to the daughter of Lieut.. Gen. Sherman, on
the 18th of May, 1880, was a. very grand affair,
although not so imposing as it would have
been if the bridegroom would have been
baptised in the Catholic faith, in which case
the ceremony would have been performed in
the adjacent st. Matthew's church. While,
however, he was willing to be married by
''bell, book and candle,n like a little man,
he positively refused to renounce the faith
of his fathers. So a church wedding was
out of the question, and the Sherman house
was gayly adorned with flags and flowers.
The bride wore a satin court dress, trimmed
with lace and seed pearls, with bridal veil
of Illusion, covered with orange bios
SONS. Then came the bridesmaids,
escorted by officers in full uniform, as fol-
lows: Miss May Ewing, daughter of Rep
resentative Tom Ewing, in white muslin,
trimmed with pink silk and wearing bunch
of pink roses, escorted by Lieut.. Cherry, U.
S. A; Rachel Sherman, sister of the bride,
in white silk, trimmed with blue, wearing a
bunch of forget-me-nots, escorted by Lieut.
Berry, U. S. A. Miss Whipple, in white mus
lin, trimmed with lace, wearing pink roses,
escorted by Lieut. Augur, U. s. A.; Miss
Lockland, of st. Louis, in white Grape,
wearing jaequeminot roses escorted by
Lieut. Bradbury; and Miss Slack, in white
muslin and lace, wearing buttercups, escorted
by Lieut.. Coffin, U. S. n. Then there were
two juvinile attendants, Master Tecump
Sherman, who reverentially carried golden
| fiagon of holy water, and little Miss Florence
Andenried, who carried small salver, on
which, framed with lilies, was the wedding
| ring. Mrs. Gen. Sherman, the BRIDES
mother, wore a dress of dove colored silk,
| trimmed with satin of the same shade. Her
eldest daughter, Mrs. Fitch, wore blue silk,
trimmed with blue satin, and the
diamonds given her by the
khedive, and her second daughter,
Miss Lizzie wore rose colored silk. The
BRIDES aunt, Mrs. John Sherman, wore a
dress of lavender colored silk, with an IN
derskirt of rose c0lored silk, and her cousin,
Mrs. Don Cameron, wore white silk dress,
deliberately trimmed. The gentlemen were
nearly all uniformed, and a strong odor of
camphOr was perceptible, as the old staff
buffers only sport their official toggery on
high occasions. The wedding presents were

made from the gift of the Khedive of Egypt
to his oldest daughter; Senator Blaine gave
set of fish knives and forks, and wrote on
his card: ''With all the love have borne
the mother" The staff, of course, sent
handsome gifts, and there were bangles,
scarf-pins, rosaries, earrings, embroidered
articles, rings, boQuets enough to have
started store with Gen. Sherman was as
jolly as he is always, under such circum-
stances, aud said all sorts of funny things.
The ring in the bride-cake was found by
Miss Rachel Sherman, and when, on leaving
the bonny bride tossed her boquet among
the bridesmaids, it struck the head of an old
married lady, and was picked up by little
Florence Andenried. LIEUT.. Thackara was
soon ordered to duty in China, and his bride
accompanied him.-Beh. Pe1ley Poore ia Bos-
