memorable one during tie first Cleveland
administration OF an international character
was that of Miss Mary Fnd'oott to Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, OF England.
PRESENTS WON'T BE SHOWN.
orally TO be given gl;mpse OF the wed
ding presents is not likely to lie gratified,
as they will not be shown at the wedding
breakfast. The report that they are OF the
most valuable description is undoubtedly
true but beyond this fact there are no de
tails 10 be given out.
The present visit of Hon Mr. Curzon to
this country is not as is generally supposed
the first time he has been in America He
came over here in fact several years since
aud Travelled about to some extent.
ON that occasion one OF the places at which
he was entertained was Castle Hall, in
Maryland, the country place OF Col RiveS
father of Mrs. Amelie Rivcs Chandler Be
tween Mr.. Curzon and the talented young
American writer there existed q previous
acquaintance, he having met her in EEg-
land.
There are few men OF the present day who
have Travelled more extensively than Mr.
Curzon. He has come TO be considered an
authority upon all eastern questions Not
only mas he Travelled from end TO end OF
China, but has journeyed among the less
frequented highways ard byways OF Siam,
Burmah, India, Persia, and Partners
In January of the present year while he
was in Alghanistan he was received with
marked honoTS by the Ameer of KabuI His
political honors as Member of Parliament
IpI COulupOil, 1dhtdADlTe, nave EJeD SINCE
1856. In 1890 he was appointed Under
Secretary for India.
CURZON ALSO A JOURNALIST.
Not only as writer of the most marked
ability and research does Mr.. Curzon
rank, but he is as well a delightful CON
versationalist and an agreeable man per-
sonally. For a number of years he has
been writing for the London Times and is
in receipt Of fine addition to his income
from this source. 1t is therefore a ques-
ton as to whether or not Mr. Curzon is
likely to settle down now that he is to
be married, and spend his time between
the Vaccinations of London society and the
family estate in Lancashire, or whether
be Will not imbue his bride with the fond
ness for travel into remote regions for
which he has shown such a fondness since
his earliest boyhood.
Certain it is that if Miss Letter is to
see those distant lands of the East where
his fancy has taken him heretofore she
VIII do so under the most delightful au-
spices and viii interpret the Orient
through unusually intelligent eyes.
Upon their first return to England Mr..
CurZon viii take his bride to the London
house, which he is now having put in
readiness for this purpose.
Many of his friends on the other side of
direct to this establishment, and there
in the happiness of their first housekeep-
ing the bride and groom will have the
pleasure of opening and inspecting them
for arrangement about the rooms of their
new home, to which they now look forward
with such joyous anticipations.
kedleston Hall is one OF the fine places
in Derbyshire, and while the present
Scarsdales are not wealthy people the
place is kept in good condition The archj-
lecture of the hall itself is in the Roman
style. There is a magnificent entrance
hall, in which are no less than sixteen
marble pillars.
In the art gallery, in addition to the
family portraits, are numerous valuable
paintings. To this collection Will un-
doubtedly before long be added fine
portrait of the American heiress, the
beaut iful Washington gin whom Mr..
Curzon will take back with him across the
ocean as his bride, the future Lady Scars
dale.
