NeSsrs. Editors 1T is high time that the even
ing wedding nuisance was abated. Let fashion
able marriage notice be promulgated to take
place at a certain church after daylight hours
and rushing mob of vulgar sight -seers will be-
siege the doors of the edice long before they are
opened. Such was the case last week at the we'd
ding of a prominent young lady at Mount Calva-
ny Church. Accompanied by several ladies at
tended the ceremony and found the entire space
in front of the church and outside the ratings
packed with an impatient crowd, seven-eighths
of whom had not the slightest acquaintance with
the bride. Finally borne in at the risk of life and
limb we secured places in an end pew where we
the chancel. A frantic mob of shop girls from
all parts of the town had rushed in, filling up the
seats, standing upon the cushions and acting in
such an unseemly manner that the clergyman,
accompanied by police officer, obliged to
call the meeting to order. The police in vain at
tempted to stem the rush of people; a very large
humber of the friends of the family were Unable
to enter the church at all, and it was even with
great difficulty that passage was made for the
bridal party. OF course all enjoyment and so
lemnity were equally lost Don't scrOuge SOL

that; I'm squeedged too,' rejoined her com
panion. From their classic language knew that
they would be compensated for their ''scrouging"
by appearing at the bridal reception, but it is a

Tickets should be issued with all such invitations
and no person be allowed to enter without one.
Not long since venerable lady, Miss Jane
Stuart died in Newport. She was the daughter
of Gilbert Stuart, the most celebrated portrait
painter that America has produced. With all his
genius and all the patronage he received and the
fame he won Stuart was shamefully neglectful
of his family and at his death left them in utter
poverty Miss stuart r inherited her some OF her
structed might have herself become distin-
guished artist. With his perversity of temper
however, he always refused to have her taught
in drawing and her productions were therefore
often incorrect, although she had good ideas of
coloring. Thrown entirely upon her own re-
sources she made speciality of copying her
fathers masterpiece of Washington, and many
examples of it were purchased by friends and
others desiring portrait of the Father Of his
Country, painted by the daughter of Gilbert

Mr. John H. Suter, the newly elected Clerk of
the Circuit Court, has appointed as his chief de-
putty Mr.. Geo. e. Loweree, of the Custom House.
This is an excellent selection, as Mr.. Loweree is
not only familiar with the law but is a gentleman
at the Custom House will part from him with re-
greet, and he will shortly leave them.
The Albion House, on Cathedral street, which
belonged to the John S. Cuttings estate, has been
entirely refitted and remOdeled and now incOr-
porates a thoroughly stylish family hotel The
whole of the basement floor is devoted to the
purposes of the house. A handsome office, ele
CANT waiting room and q spacious dining saloon
are all en- suite, while gentleman's parlor, bill

Thanksgiving is approaching and the death
warrants of thousands of turkeys have been
signed. This has only become national holiday
since it was proclaimed such by President Lin
coin. In olden times it was to New England
what Christmas is to u.s. The stern old Puritans
who rebelled against the church of England
would have nothing of Christmas, and even with
in two generations an old Massachusetts clergy
man told friend of mine that for many years in
his parish the 18th of December passed without
his actually remembering that it was Christmas
day. All this feeling has now passed away and
Christmas is made as much of at the North as at
the South. Those grim old Puritans who when
they wanted slight rain instead of a heavy one,
prayed for "a little drizze drozzle,' would have
cropped ones ears for eating mince pie except
at Thanksgiving, and must altogether have been
very cheerful guests for a small tea party.

der the able craftsmanship of Mr.. VIM I. Lucas,

ment of Messrs /. r. Trimble. Allan McLane, Jr.,
