ROMANTIC COURTsHIP.
The banking house Of r. 1hoede Il
Co. in Dresden, is well known, and
many American tourists have their
drafts casbed there. Hans Bjon Graesse
has been connected with the house for
many years, and in that way Miss YER
rior became acquainted with hiIn. Be-
sides her beauty, which is very striking,
the impression made by the young lady
on the young man was that OF an
" American heress." Although MIR.
Graesse has been generally spoken OF rs
of the firm OF lhoede & Co. or as "a
Dresden banker" unless he has lately
been admitted % partnership lis actual
relation was that of teller or confidential
clerk. He Was a young man Of fine APP
pearance. and, having been reared in the
atmosphere OF q court. had many graces

II Was 4 case Of love At first sight, end,
after declaring himself. Mr.. Graesse fol-
lowed the lady t. Paris With bis fate

PMladeip hia, but he CALAMITY followed,
aud, unable to resist such devotion, the
lady relcnted on shipboArd, and it Was
determined to have the marriage take
place hs soon IS possible after arriving in
PHILADELPHIA. Miss Nerriers sister hives
in small but cosy and attractive house,
4437 SAMSON street, Gu tho outskirts Of
the city. and as this house was consid-
cred too small and inaccessible for a
wedding commensurate with the proml-
nence and reputed wealth OF the bride
groom, it WAS arranged to have the we'd
ding ceremony aud reception take place
at the Aldine Hotel, the most fashlona-
bio in tho city. Meantime the expectant
bridegroom had cabled for some OF his
relatives and friends to come and attend
the wedding.
A PRUDENT BRIDEGROOM.
Previous TO the wedding and in pre-
pairing for it Hans BjOrn Graesse dis
PLAYED two rather striking eccentricitiea
ono vas his desire to eIpatiate upon the
coming Wedding and everything about
it. and the other an economical dispose
ton. having for It's object lessening all
the expenses for tho coming nuptialA.
Asa matter Of fact the expenses were
comparatively moderate. For flowers
and decorating all tho rooms, for in.
stance. the charge OF the florist was s75.
Yet this wac a festure that the bride
groom thought should have come within
SIS or 81. Not satisfied as to the
regulation charges for vine, he went the
rounds Of the dealers and purchased the
wine for the wedding feast himself, aud
made Sn arrangement whereby none OF

ten by himself. He had frugal mind.
When he procured the marriage lice se

elegance 10 the coming event that 1t was
soon uoised around and quickly found
its way into print For several weeks
Mr.. Graesse held seanees with the re-
porters and dwslt at length upon the
dignity OF his family in his native land.
AN AWKWARD HONEYMOON.
After the wedding, which was quite
brilliant and attended by many promi
nent people, the FIRST move made by the
bridegroom was ca unfortunate one. Be
ing unwilling to trust 10 the porter or 8
baggage agent he carried the trunk con

carriage, but ct the station forgot tc

for the South, intending to spend some
time in Washington, but concluded
