CLEVELAND SAVAGE.
NOTABLE NUPTIALS AT CALVARY
CHURCH YESTERDAY.
Mr.. Samuel B. Cleveland, of New Or
leans, a Cousin Of President Cleve-
land, and Miss Mamie w. Savage
Wedded--Society Gossip.

A most interesting nuptial event was
celebrated at Calvary Church, ON Second
street, yesterday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock,
by the marriage OF Mr.. Samuel b. Cleve-
land, of New Orleans, and Miss Mamie
Wayles Savage, who has been reared in
Memphis and at her mothers extensive
plantation, near Kerrvile, in Shelby
County. The contracting parties had re-
solved on quiet and unostentatious we'd
ding, and no cards were issued. But SO
great was the popularity of the bride that
her hosts OF friends eagerly crowded
around the altar. The bridal party en-
tered the church edifice about 8. 30o'clock.
There were no bridesmaids. The attend
ants were Mr.. Charles T. Dobb, Mr..
William NJ Sneed, Mr.. Lamar Chapel
and Mr.. Chamberlin Jones. The bride
was escorted to the altar by Mr.. John w.
Fulmer, and she appeared beautiful and
to great advantage, as she was dressed i'm
the most exquisite taste. The groom WAS
accompanied by Mrs. Martha Savage.
the brides mother. The Rev. DR.. Bur.
ford, rector Of Calvary Church, performed
the ceremony in most impressive man.
ner. He welded the contracting parties
together by knot which they cannot un.
tie II they would and would not il they
could.
Immediately after the ceremony the
bride and groom were heartily congratu-
lated by their friends. They were then
driven to the Peabody Hotel, thence TO
the depot and-leit for New Orleans, their
future home, followed by the prayers and
good wishes OF all. for ii is no cxaggeration
TO say that more popular, lovely and
charming girl was never reared in Shelby
County than Mamie W. Savage. Pretty
and petite, she has been pet and favorte
since her advent into society. She is a
descendant OF the historic families OF the
South, the Randolphs and the Jeilersons
OF Virginia, and Is a niece of the late Her
schell V. johnson, OF Georgia. Conspic-
nous as she has been nj the fashionable
watering places and in the fashionable
society Of the leading cities, she never had
an enemey and never deserved one. Uniting
with a beautiful parsonage, manners so
graceful and refined. she makes friend OF
every new acquaintance. She has in
teilect OF high order which has been
cultivated by reading, fully understands
the duties she has assumed and will per-
perfume the life OF her husband with tho
fragrance OF joy.
The groom, Mr. Sam b. Cleveland. is
gentleman OF great social worth and sub.
stantial business connections in Now Or
leans, being u responsible official in one OF
the leading banks Of the city. He is
cousin 10 President Cleveland, aud has
many OF the sturdy traits OF character
which adorn the lie OF his illustrious kns-
man. His life will be frightened and
broadened bv the companionship OF
noble and cultivated woman, and his dig
nifty as a citizen, his usefulness and happi-
ness as a man have been promoted by this
ordination OF perfect union. Many were
the bridal presents, and some OF them
beautiful and costly.

There was given last night, in the hall
OF the Young Mems Christian Association,
musical entertainment quite the most
enjoyable that has been given in Memphis
for many day. Those who attended were
altogether too few in number The per.
Torrance was worthy the most liberal
patronage. Tho chief figure OF the evening
was Mr. NJ. Weinstein, young
musician Of rare accomplishment and
the most modest bearing, who has re-
Gently come TO Memphis. Those who
have heard his violin or his mandolin have
enjoyed most grateful surprise. What
may be the ultimate reach OF his skill we
do not know; we only know that to the de-
gree he has chosen TO exhibit his capacity
he has won the positive appreciation OF the
critical and held in charm the musical
sense Of his auditors. The concert las,
night was without special pretension. The
program was designed with no other inten.
ton than to give pleasant hour to those
who might come. Mr.. Weinstein
was reinforced by ladies and gen.
tlemen Of the city. who al,ernaied
with him, niFording the vocal features.
And yet we doubt II there was ono Of
those present who was not willing 20 adj
init frankly that he rarely attended per.

II Is true that Mr.. Weinstein's mandolin
essayed nothing more ambitious than A
passage from al 1rovaiorc," and that
his violin cssnyed nothingmore technically
intricate than Schumann's "Tmumcrci."
But II was an evidence Of his genuine skill
that, while he could evoke from the strings

urable modification would follow the
revelation OF their identity. A young
