June 9. Mrs. Cleveland chose Wednes-
day, 1.-THE best day of ALL" for the event.
Toe Bluefoom was superbly dressed for
the occasion. 1t had taken two days
to arrange the White House. In the
Blueroom paasies were first introduced
to the public in the role which has
chung to them ever since or mrs.
Cleveland's favorite flower" In bank
of purple pansies under q mirror was
the date June 2, 1886, In pure white
pansies.
A solid wall Of finest green foliage
made q background for the bride and
groom, who reversed the usual order at
weddings ana faced the spectators in
stead of turning backs on them. 1t was
all very quiet. The Cabinet ministers
and their wives. Mr.. and Mrs. Lamont,
the Presidents mother and sisters, and
few of the brides relatives aud
friends were the only persons who saw
the knot tied. The brides veil was six
yards long, and held by a myrtle and
orange blossom coronet. 1t Is all treas
ured very carefully. Mrs. Cleveland's
favorite photograph is one taken In the
wedding dress with pansy brooch at
her throat.
Souvenirs OF the wedding were In
great demand, and as result some fun
ny incidents occurred. Many OF the
friends and neighbors OF Mrs. Sunder-
land. the wife OF the minister who per-
formed the ceremony, eager for sove-
Mrs, hit on the idea OF getting her
to wear various ARTICLES OF theirs. The
things poured in on her would have stock
ed a fine trousseau. She lnsited on her
right to wear her own clothes, and OBJ
iected TO Jewels. Still she managed to
accommodate a number OF the impor-
tuuates by carrying plenty OF handker-
chiefs and fans. When Sunderland re-
vealed the situation at the wedding an
other guest confessed that she was In the
same situation and about the only thing
she had on that hadn't been worn to
oblige friends who coveted something
worn at a Presidents wedding were her
dress and the shoes she stood in. Even
the silk hosiery she wore was destined
for souvenirs. The two Lamont girls
will also have souvenirs OF the wedding
in due time, for their mother, with
much thought, bought two peacock
feather fans, both OF which she carried
at the wedding. As they were alike no.
BODY knew the difference, and by and
by they will come into the possession OF
her daughters.

BELFAST, IRELAND, May est has
been my pleasure to visit the old town
Of Downpatrick, county Down, about
rs miles from Belfast Here stands the
beautiful little Cathedral Of the Holy
and Undivided Trinity, founded by ST.
Patrick himself about A. d. 44O; or
speaking more accurately, here stands
a church upon the site OF the first edif1ce
conseCrated 10 the worship Of God 6y
the great Irish Saint. It's authoritiVe-
~ asserted that the Cathedral has a
clearly defined record Of fourteen CEN
turtles and half and like all other
ancient institutions IL has experienced
the changes and vicissitudes or time.
Prosperity, decay, ruin and restoration
have marked its checkered history from
age 10 age. The REGISTER presents
illustrations OF the last two edifces
which have marked the historic spot. On
the left of the rains is the little grave
ward, but quite different in its
appearance now 70 what 1t may
have been then, The dilapidated
shaft, erected centuries ago, aud
perhaps used as a watch tower, has dis
appeared altogether. But the very in
teresting feature Of the spot is that this
wee burying place contains the
REMAINS OF ST. PATRICK,
st. Bridget Tor Brigid) and St. COLUMBIA.
The town takes it's name from the
county aud saint, and IL may well be
proud Of the rare distinction.
The place is not sought out much oy
the tourist, probably because il is of
the main line OF through travel. More's
the pity, for to all English speaking
travellers who include the Island In
their itinerary, and particularly those
Of Irish extraction, il is one Of the GEN.
trail figures OF interest among Irish an
tiquities. With Belfast, as the Point
dADDlti, the round trip can be made be-
tween brea kfaSt and a six o'clock din
ner, giving ample time to view all that
is Of interest. The ride by rail is
through a delightful bit OF pastoral
scenery. The facial expression Of
County Down is largely made up OF

ellis; all Of which are highly suScepti-

The two friends were talking at the
club about 4 certain young woman one
of them was paying attention to, and
whom the other thought his friend was
very anxious to marry. He also thought
the sutton was altogether too diftideHt,
and he had been trying to brace him
up.
"I'll bet you hundred dollars for a
wedding present." he said, that you
can get her by asking for her."

AS Won know the Majestic and Paris
had a fast run on the trip REFERRED 10,
and were together neck and neck
for three days; the former getting her
mail into London twenty-five minutes
sooner than the latter. When tney
finally parted company in shaping tnelr
courses for Queenstown and Southamp-
ton respectively, the Majestic, being on
the starboard side, had to SLOW up IN
order that she might pass under the
stern Of the Paris. GOSSIP, Win con-
siderable acrimony, charged captain
Randle, of the Paris, with recklessiy
crossing the bow of the Majestic, so
near that the name on the stern OF the
Paris could be read, TO the great dan
ger of both ships and their passengers.
This gossip has been disproVed by Cap
tain Rsndle's official report, in which
he states that he did not deyiate from
his course one degree, but that the Ma
iestic, in order to point her nose direct
ly for Queenstown, had to change ner
position. Quite naturally local sym
patty was with tie Majestic, but when
the facts were known, like true Irish
men, they acknowledged there was no
blame attached to Captain Randle.
WHEELING RELATIONS.
Since my sojourn here have had the
pleasure OF dining with prominent
and substantial citizen who is related
through his estimable wife to the Nc
Kelveys of Wheeling and st. Clairsvllle.
| allude to John Homer, Esq. He Is at
the head of several large Industrial
firms, and owing TO his excellent ousl-
ness sagaclty has amassed a large Tor
tune. Although bordering on seventy,
he looks hale, hearty and full OF vigor.
He lives in easy afiluence in tue old
manor house in section OF the city
called Cliftonville. Mrs. Horner is the
sister OF the late w. p. McKelvey, OF
Wheeling, whose memory we all cher-
i b as a good man and excellent citizen.
Mr. William McGannon, a comfort
ably fixed farmer living within Few
miles Of Belfast, has called upon me.
Upon making himself known as the
brother OF Mr.. John McGanuon, OF
Wheeling, his emotion was so great
that he could hardly control himself, so
overjoyed was be at meeting one who
was acquainted with his far-away rela-
tives. He is splendid specimen OF the
Irish farmer, and the day l saw him
had large load of fax which he had
brought to market and for which he
was to get big price. Flax is very
high this year, and farmers have made
a good thing out of their crops.

Buffalo Express.
The group herewith shown is the first
that has been taken OF the women OF
the administration. Here we have the
powers behind throne.
1t is an exceptionally interesting pic
ture. In It Buffalo takes undisputed
precedence OF the rest OF the country,
being represented by the fair mistress
OF the White House and by Mrs. Secre-
tary Bissell, who had only to appear In
Washington to establish her social lead
ersh.p-a leadership made doubly at
tractive by her musical gifts. Mrs.
Bissell is the beauty OF the Cabinet
Possibly she has rival in the lovely
blonde daughter Of Secretary Herbert.
Miss Herbert, who Is the head OF her
fathers household at Washington, was
absent with the Secretary on his West
ern trip when this group picture was
taken, aud so does not appear In group.
Most of the wives of the Secretaries
are typical American women, OF the
strong, homemakiDg sort. Mrs. Car
Isle comes of fine old Kentucky fami-
ly. and has been a social leader from
girlhoo> .ssShe will be 50 years old next
August ne other older women of the
group are lrs. Gresham and Mrs.
Olney. The, Tmer is not very strong
and leads as quiet life as her position
will allow, being devoted to her church
and TO good works. Mrs. Olney is
typical Massachusetts woman, and used
to be called by her neighbors at Fall
mouth, where her summer home is,
"the most popular woman on Cape
Cod" She is known in Washington
as an exceedingly clever lady.
THE YOUNGER WOMEN.

terian, quickly established herself as
prime favorite in Washington society.
Her entertaining is famous for It's
Southern hospitality. Most OF the
ladies' Of the group were leaders in
social matters at the. capital be-
fore this administration. Mrs. Car
Isle has spent half her life
time there. Mrs. Lamont had had four
years OF previous administration,
Mrs. Gresham had lived ia Washington
during her husbands service as Repre-
sentative, as Secretary, ETC., Mrs. VI
news father was member OF the
House, and Miss Herbert has known
Washington from her childhood days
not so very far back even now. Head
ed by Mrs. Cleveland, the ladies' OF 1.-THE
real Cabinet" are all earnest women
who take healthy interest in society,
but none Of them is distinguished Tor
extraordinary gayety. 1t is we'll

There is always bit OF sentiment for
a woman over everything connected
with her bridal day, providing there Is
a grain OF romance 10 her composition
and both Mrs. Cleveland and the Presi-
dent hold the anniversaries OF that
happy June night OF 1856 in very tender
regard. Some people like TO observe
such DAYS with Publications among
friends. but the Presidential couple
have always looked on this as the one
day in the year set apart for themselves
especially. They have always planned
to observe the day by themselves.
MANY MEMORIES.
Mrs. Cleveland must have many
memories to recall Of the day they com
memorate and it's wedding. That mar
rage gave great satisfaction TO the
country, and especially to Mr.. CIeve'
lands own party. Dan Lamont prides
himself on the part be played in the al
| fair He often says 10 was the best
niece of work he ever did, and be and
Mrs. Cleveland have many a laugh over
| the faithful private secretary s. atten-
tons TO the brides comfort. II
was Lamon: who arranged everything,
even the wedding day. 1t was he
who met the Noordland way down the
bay. Struggled Miss Folsom aboard the
cutter Chandler, and then started on .
chase with her toward the city. Mr..
Lamont says the best joke he ever
played upon the press Of the country
was when he and Mrs. Cleveland-to-be,
in the dead of night, gave the news
paper tugs the slip, and he managed to
land way up town and get her 10 the
house of friends, while the newspapers
couldn't locate her.
Naturally Mrs. Cleveland has memo
ries suA as other women have not, be-
cause they are not attended by such ex-
traordinaiy conditions. 1t waS Mr..
Lamont who bought wedding presents
and took out the marriage license and
finally turned her over to the President
a wInsome bride. Then she was less
than 90, full OF vivacity, and anxious &c
crafty the whole United States.

COURTEsIEs. Somebody has called
courtesies the small change of life.
Be that as it may, we all get into a
habit OF expecting them, and when
we do an obliging thing we hold out
our hand for our change Most
ofsas keep account-books, into which
We should not like to have others
look-kept all the same, though
written only upon the pages of an
uncommonly sharp memory. What
we prettily call love is too often only
loan-not indeed to be paid in
kind, but in degree, with handsome
interest. We are affectionate, and
obliging. and friendly, we help
somebody in moment of dire emer-
gency, and then we hold out our
hand for change We are a little
uneasy lest it should not be gener-
ally known how good we have been,
and, lest it should be hidden under
4 bushel, we take all the bystand-
ers into our confidence.
