DEFERRED ARTICLES.

The Grand Duke Ernest of Hesse and the
Princess Victoria of Coburg, both grand
children of Queen Victoria, were married
at Coburg Thursday in the private chapel
of the ducal schloss. Queen Victoria was
the center of the royal family gathering;
and among those present we're the Emperor
William, the Czarewitch, the Prince of
Wales, and princes and princesses, dukes
and duchesses, almost innumerable. The
general superintendent of the Lutheran
Church, Pastor Mueller, officiated, and was
assisted by the court chaplain of the Grand
Duchy of Hesse and by five local clergy
men. After the address had been delivered
the bride and bridegroom pligbted their
troths and the wedding rings were exchang-
ed. Then came the benediction, after which
Mendelssohn's wedding March" was
grandly played and the ceremony was at an
end, The newly-married couple afterwards
kissed their relatives in turn, and the pro-
cessiOn was reformed and left the chapel at
l o'clock amid the booming of cannon
Among the many presents received by the
bride were necklace of pearls and emer-
aids, bracelet of diamonds, large pen
dant of diamonds and sapphires, pair Of
large diamond earrings, a bracelet with a
large emerald in its centre, diamond heart
with large turquoise in its centre, and q
diadem of diamonds and emeralds from her
parents.

The Modern Pandora,s Bor,

The modern Pandora of fashion and folly
Has opened the box of the ills of her kind
Hence weakness and sickness with acute mel

Much suffering of body and worry of mind.
This host Of complaints, this legion of pain,
Has harraSsed the lives of all of the sex.
For relief shall they seek forever in vain?
And must they still suffer disorders complex?
All No For Pandora has left in the box
A sure cure for ills of all such description.
OF its wonderful virtues each purchaser talks,

Representative Bryan, though one of the
