WASHINGToN's WEDDING DAY.
What the Bride and Bridegroom Wore
The Cake.

The Cake.
On January 6, in the year of grace
1859. George Washington and Martha
cambridge Gusts were selemnly united in
the bonds of matrimony. A brilliant
company of wedding guests assembled at
the little parish church near the white
house (the home of Widow Custis), on
the Pamunkey river, in Virginia. The
gay governor of Virginia, Francis Eau
guer, was gorgeous in scarlet ans gold.
Col" Washington, as he was called (al-
though he resigned his commission after
Fort Duquesne had fallen), as became a
bridegroom was all glorious in a costume
of blue and silver with scarlet trimmings,
and with gold buckles on his knees and
on his shoes.
and laces. She wore pearl earrings and
pearls around her throat. After the Win
ter wedding the bride was driven home
in state in q coach and six, while her
newly made husband, Col George, rode
alongside of the bridal coach, mounted
on splendid horse" and followed by all
the gentlemen of the party.
There was plenty of good eating and
good drinking on this occasion, in accord
ance with the dictates of old:thne Virginia
hospitality. We do not know what were
the wines, doubtless Madeira, ''laid down
in pipes" and some favorite punch; but
we know that there was bride cake, as an

Immigrants of Teuton1c Stock.

The doctor surprised me by stating that
his Russians" as he termed those set

stock, and not SlavS at all, save as they
had adopted Slavonic customs and modes

several colonies of German farmers to set
tie in his dominions, where they were to
teach the people their methods of agricul-
ture.
At length these semi-dependent and lib
erty-lovlnG people became so Numerous
and on account of the extraordinary privi-
leges granted them excited so much dis
content in the down-trodden communities
in which they dwelt, that the Russian au-
thorltleS became alarmed, and decided up
on their repression. SO, by imperial
ukase, Gar Alexander III. arbitrarily re-
voked all concessions made to them by his
pen the Germano-Russians were reduced
to the seryile condition of their Slavonic
neighbOrs, and saw naught before them
save future of hopeless misery. Rather
than accept this, vast numbers of them
attempted to leave the country. Many
were intercepted and forced to return
Some were imprisoned, transported to ST.

punished for striving to gain other liberty
