invention, the use OF steam and cleo

manufacturing innumerable articles
of merchandise, the building of RAIL

Annthnr Of I.incnln's .lnkeS,

This is a brard-new Lincoln story,
and true, like all of this series. Presi-
dent Lincoln reached Meade Station,
near Petersburg, soon after serious
battle in which about 1000 confederates
were made prisoners. Gen. Meade was
on the presidents left and Col. George
D. Ruggles on his right. On their way
to headquarters they rode to a point
where they could see the large assem-
blage of prisoners. With the prisoners
were many colored servants and labor
ers. "Mr. Lincoln" said Gen. Meode,
81 guess Ruggles did not overestimate
the number of men captured Mr.
Lincoln checked his horse, deliberately
surveyed the field full of Gordons dis
armed men and the contrabands, and
said "Yes, general, the number is there
in black and hite."-Chicago Times
Herald.

WEDDINGS IN ROME.



There is fixed idea in the Roman
mind that the only two months OF the
wear suitable for weddings are May and
October, the former because it is not
vet too hot to make the honeymoon
tour unpleasant and the latter because
it is not yet too cold to get up and be
married at eight o'clock in the morn
ing, for among the upper class eight
o'clock is the fixed and orthodox hour.
Marriage in Italy is essentially and
primarily a religious ceremony, &C.
companied by mass and holy commun-
ion, the latter involving fasting until
the ceremony is over.
Fashionable weddings are usually
celebrated in the private chapel OF
cardinal, bishop or monsignore, at
whose house the breakfast is usually
given, instead of at the brides home.
There are also various other differ
ences. which make curious impress
sion on the mind of an English girl
marrying Roman bridesmaids are
unknown; instead there are four wit
nesses in attendance two for the
bridegroom and two for the bride; they
must be men of the Catholic faith,
who are able to swear that the con-
tracing parties are free to marry.
During the marriage ceremony the wit
nesses must stand close to the bride
and bridegroom, in order to hear their
VOWS and to feel satisfied that they
are made of their own free will, COM
pulsion being one of the two reasons
for which the church can annul mar
riage. After this the witnesses retire
to the background and low mass is
laid, music never being SO much as
thought of. There is special mass
in which at one point silver tablet,
called pax" is Kissed by the priest,
with the words: peace be with you,
and then carried to the married couple,
to be kissed by them in turn. After
the mass there is pause and silence
in the chapel for about a quarter OF an
hour, while the priest and all who have
communicated make their thanksgiv-
ing.
The breakfast, according to English
ideas, is most curious morning meal,
consisting of coffee, ices, cakes and
sweets in great variety. When it is
over boxes or bags of "confetti' are
distributed by the bride to all the gen
tlemen present and by the bridegroom
to all the ladies. They are also sent
with the letter de fuire part" to all
intimate friends not able to attend the
wedding, and vary from the simplest
white satin bonbon bag to the boxes
made of solid silver.
When the newly married pair have
said "good-by" they drive to st. Peters
to pay the traditional visit to the tomb
Of the prince of the apostles. Almost
any morning in May or October one
may see bride, in her wedding dress,
kneeling with her husband under the
great dome of St. Peters. The we'd
ding party has in the meantime broken
up, to reassemble, however, later at
the station to complete the farewells.
The presents are often displayed the
evening before at reception given at
the house of the bride. All the
presents are given to her; even
friends of the bridegroom who
do not know her send him some
thing for the bride. An audience of
the pope is usually obtained a day or
two previously, in order to ask his
blessing on the two lives now to BIO
spent together.-Chicago Chronicle.
